Man! We lost that NFCC game to SF in 1994 but we came back and won Super Bowl XXX against the hated Steelers which is my favorite revenge Super Bowl of all time! I hope we win another in my lifetime; but I am a diehard Cowboys fan regardless! Go BOYZ!!!
I pray number 4 takes us to number 6 baby!!!! 🙏 Wow would love to experience this as an adult...I remember watching this game in my daddy's lap screaming neon Deon. He's almost 70 now and it's been a long, tough road. Let's go Cowboys!!!! Bring the Lombardi back home!!! 👏 👏
This team was so good that even Barry Switzer couldn’t mess them up. When this game ended, I don’t think anybody would have believed that 25 years would go by without another championship. Not even made it to an NFC championship game.
No telling how many championships this team would have won if Jerry Jones could have controlled his ego and let Jimmy Johnson run things. If there is any doubt as to who was the “brains of the outfit”, all you have to do is look at what happened to the team after Jimmy left.
@@georgesouthwick7000 your exactly correct and the team no matter how good the players were and are we haven’t been great since jimmy left it’s a shame
The more I dig into this team the more I think they are very underrated and probably the best of the 3 Cowboys teams that won the title during that stretch. They played a very tough schedule that year, Philly was tough, Minnesota, Atlanta, Kansas City, San Francisco, Green Bay, and San Diego all good teams in 95. The Heath Shuler Redskins took them out twice though
By Week 3 of the 1995 season, the Cowboy's roster consisted of 27 players that never played a down for Jimmy Johnson. This included HOF's Larry Allen and Deion Sanders. The 1995 Cowboys scored more points, gave up the least number of sacks, committed the least number of penalties, and won more games by double digits than any of the juggernaut Cowboy teams from 1992-1994. The 1995 Cowboys O-Line had more combined career Pro Bowl appearances (e.g., 29 career Pro Bowls) than any O-Line in NFL history. Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin had their greatest seasons and the teams only perceived weak links (e.g., Larry Brown and Kevin Williams) ended up saving the team's bacon at the end of the 1995 season. In terms of head coach Barry Switzer, he holds the NFL record for having won the most playoff games in his first 3 seasons (e.g., 1994-1996, 5 playoff wins) as an NFL head coach. Switzer's 5 playoff wins are more than the combined total of playoff wins (e.g., 3 playoff wins in 25 years) by his successors... Chan Gailey 0-2, Dave Campo 0-0, Bill Parcells 0-2, Wade Phillips 1-2, Jason Garrett 2-3, and Mike McCarthy 0-0.
Just 3 playoff wins in 25 years. And all 3 were wildcard game wins. They have never made it to an NFC game. You'd think they'd have fired the general manager ages ago... oh no wait.
@@ingurlund9657 This YT video is about the 1995 Cowboys, but it's certainly frustrating that the Cowboys haven't been to an NFC Championship Game in 25 years. Having said that, the current Cowboys squad brings forth some hope that the worm may be turning. Like Al Davis, Jones is NEVER going to fire himself, but he has drafted well in the past decade. From 2010-2020, the Cowboys drafted the 2nd most Pro Bowlers in the league, and the front office may have hit the ball out of the park with their 2021 draft haul.
Its crazy how this team got ravished by free agency. Its a good thing Jimmy Johnson stacked that team before he left and there was just enough talent left to win it all.
Free agency - or at least Plan B free agency - played a key role in the team being built in the first place. Plan B was just starting as Jimmy Johnson took over, which was a massive stroke of luck for him that is often overlooked, and with Jerry Jones' spending power, the system allowed him to bring in a wide range of useful players from other teams, such as Jay Novacek and James Washington. Full-on free agency only started just as Johnson left Dallas. Plan B was as important for rebuilding the Cowboys in the early-1990s as the Herschel Walker Trade had been, so free agency worked both for and against the team really.
What ruined it for the cowboys. Was the bullshit salary cap. It's a ridiculous concept. It's not about equaling the playing field. It is to control what players make.
Most football writers AND fans have no idea that 26 players on the 53 man roster of the 1995 Dallas Cowboys NEVER played a down for Jimmy Johnson. This included two players (e.g., Deion Sanders, Larry Allen) who may have been the best to ever play their positions. This team was not as deep as the 1992 and 1993 squads, but from Week 1 to Thanksgiving, the 1995 Cowboys may have had the best starting 22 in NFL history.
And all those players in their prime walked off the field to never sniff a super bowl again. Not even an NFC championship again. That was 1996 and it’s now 2022 and still nothing! Why? Cause Jerry fired Jimmy and never hired a real football coach again.
@@duego2010 The fact that he hired Bill Parcells one of the greatest coaches in NFL history who literally turned this team around from back to back to back five and 11 seasons to at least being in contention every single year… Shows pretty much how you were just talking out your ass… Yeah Bill Parcells wasn’t a real coach… Fucking idiot. Just wanna point out that there’s only one team since Jerry Jones took over the Cowboys even in the year 2022 that has won as many Super Bowls as the Dallas Cowboys. So maybe it’s not as easy to win Super Bowls as you’re trying to make it seem. That is 100% fat Dallas Cowboys three Super Bowls only one team the New England Patriots have won more since Jerry Jones took over… Have fun with that bitch.
Michael Irvin was a moving shield who could protect incoming passes better than just about anybody ever has. Moving Shield Irvin also had on-the-field-speed because he carried his pads so extremely well, and Irvin was also great at turning potential interceptions into incompletions, something that will help a team's chances of winning big games. All these things were why Irvin was truly great. There are plenty of Hall-of-Fame WRs that were not actually truly great, but he is one who was truly great.
Hard to beleive this was the last time the cowboys won the superbowl got into the superbowl and got in nfc championship game and won nfc championship all rolled into 1995 season . as a die hard dallas cowboys fan it s depressing but at the same time thirsty you wanna see your cowboys win another super bowl and win again like the great ol 90 s i miss these days year now is 2021 think about it 2 decades going on a third cant even a sniff a nfc championship game lever mind a superbowl anyways go cowboys 💪💪💪💪💪
I MUST HAVE PLAYED THAT SONG OVER A HUNDRED TIMES ON MY TRUMPET, HEARING IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE SINGING IT PROPERLY, STILL GIVES ME CHILLS..I PLAYED IT 'A CAPELLA', A SOLO, AT ONE OF OUR SCHOOL BASKETBALL GAMES, IN 1976..YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP, IT WAS SO QUIET..UNTIL IT ENDED, THEN THE CHEERS WERE DEAFENING..SADLY, MANY NOW ONLY RESPECT THINGS AND USE PEOPLE..
Hey Carlos. Thanks for posting! You beat me to it. I hope you don't mind that I tag specific spots in the video tomorrow! This is probably the only Football season that I followed every single game.
The Packers are my main team, but this video is the reason I'm a Cowboys fan. The music is also awesome. This was when football was FOOTBALL, back before the league pulled all the crap it does now.
Fun fact: When the Steelers beat the Cowboys in SB XIII, they became the first team to win 3 SB's. When the Cowboys beat the Steelers in SB XXX, they became the first team to win 5 SB'S.
How fitting that the Cowboys playoff run involved victories over teams that cost them two Super Bowls (Pittsburgh), probably cost them two others (Green Bay, 1966 and 1967) and possibly cost them a fifth, Philadelphia in 1980.
Anybody else get chills when listening that narration about their 99-yard drive against the packers in the NFC Championship games? HOW ‘BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!
Can anyone find the Dallas vs Green Bay when Jason Garrett was the starting QB? Regardless of how you feel about his coaching, that game has to be up there for comeback from behind games. If anyone has the whole game, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd post it here on RU-vid. As for his coaching, I'm not going to dog the guy from a job that would be the ultimate dream job, but I believe he needed some more experience, maybe work for Nick Saban before taking the ultimate dream job. If ANY of us were offered this job, what would you do? Not to mention that Jerry Jones isn't exactly the easiest to work with. You'll have fans down your throat the first loss. So don't be so hard on the guy, because if we were offered the job, wouldn't you at least give it a shot?
@@STP43FAN1 they made it like they were the hottest women and I believed that until I found a book showing all the nfl cheerleaders and I realized the cowgirls just got the damn fame being cheerleaders for America's team.
Jerry would have to admit that Jimmy was mostly responsible for building those super bowl teams. Will never happen. Love the Cowboys but Jerry is an awful GM and his ego is too big to admit that he needs a real coach for the team
@@tammieterry1386 the bastard won't live forever and whomever comes after may finally wise up on that score. Of course the Raiders still struggle more than a decade after Al Davis finally passed away...
Thank God for The Green Bay Packers🏈 Team Having made it into The 1995 NFC Playoffs Where Having Destroyed And Dethroned The San Francisco 49ers And That If It Weren’t For Them The Dallas Cowboys wouldn’t have ever made it to Their last and final Super Bowl XXX🏆 while in which they’d went on with Destroying and Dethroning The Pittsburgh Steelers 27➖17 !!!!!!! 😉😉😉😉😉🏈🏈🏈🏈🏆
You never know. The Cowboys lost to SF in the 95 regular season game at Texas but they might have won an NFC championship game at Candlestick because every game is a new battle. The Cowboys went to Candlestick in the 96 regular season game and won, and that's with their shitty 96 team. Anything can happen.
They won their 3rd SB despite Jerry Jones and his ego. If Jerry just put his pride aside and worked it out with Jimmy Johnson, they'd have won 4 straight... and maybe even five in the 90's.
The Cowboys won off of talent alone. The thing is if the Cowboys lost to the Giants game at home that would have been it for the season. They would have lost 3 straight and at 11-5 even if the 49ers lost to Atlanta their psyche would have been damaged beyond repair. Still Kevin Williams made that diving catch on 3rd down and the Cowboys got into field goal range and won the game. The Falcons beat the 49ers in the last game of the season, the Cowboys had to beat the Cardinals for home field advantage in which they did, and the rest is history.
LoL so this is where all the cowboy fans go to watch there team win meaningful games sheezzz before cell phones or the internet!! i had to sorry 🤣 Go Birds 🦅🦅🦅
This is back when football was football, and NFC East was the hardest in the NFL. The competition and heavy weight fights the greatest. NFL glory years were 80’s-90’s
