One last time, in case you missed it: 60 Minutes will be shown in its entirety immediately following this game, except on the West coast, where it will air at its regular time.
The 1977 Cowboys are the most underrated GREAT team in NFL history. Despite being the last team to lead the league in total offense AND defense, they are never mentioned as being one the Top Ten greatest teams of all-time. Their exclusion from Top Ten lists becomes even more absurd when you consider the FACT that they outscored their playoff opponents 87-23.
Agreed. The only blemish in my view was the loss to the Steelers in the regular season. I wonder what would have happened in SB XII if Pittsburgh had made it....
@@muckerwood Yep, as much respect as I now have for those 70's Steelers (still despise them) I do think the 77 Cowboys was one of the top 5 teams of all time! Been a Cowboy fan since watching them beat the Dolphins as a kid (6 years of age) and been a fan since and this version of the Boys had it all. We had the offense, run game, pass game, and defense was legendary and great special teams not to mention one of the greatest football minds to ever step on a field in Landry. Yep, think we would have had our retribution. Had to wait on Troy, Mike and Emmitt to get us one against the Steelers, but we still owe them one! Now, don't get me wrong, as I have gotten older I have learned to respect the great teams of the '70s and Steelers were a fantastic group, as were the Vikings, Raiders, Dolphins and for a year or two the Broncos. Quite simply, the best decade ever in the NFL!!
@@Boomhower89 Now Im a Steeler fan but you are spot on: how those two are not in HOF is just criminal literally!!! Im sorry I thought they were already in??? Yeah ridiculous.
Hard to believe teams like Houston, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh could let players like Ken Houston and Preston Pearson get away. The Oilers at least got 5 players for him. However, he is likely the best Safety to ever play in the NFL.
@@sjames9005 Exactly! In light how much the Redskin passing game was dominated by the Cowboy defense, Washington was lucky the final score wasn't more lopsided than it was. Being "tough" is all well and fine, but it's not nearly enough. As a QB, one has to be *effective,* and Kilmer looked like an amateur in this game. By the time Theismann was finally put in, the game was already over.
During warm ups, couldn't catch the football, so the WR does it for him. He barely could run coming out after halftime (Theismann blew right by him). But he's tough, so let's let him start at QB over Theismann. Idiot coaching decision.
@@yeeluvspizza ole whiskey at UCLA they say he was the toughest kid on the team beat USC with a broken leg Billy Kilmer ... no one could hold his jock or his bottle
Riggo smoking a pipe!!!! 7:31. No way you ever see that , now or then. One of a kind. As a cowboy fan I HATED , I mean HATED this redskin team. Now so many years later I love them. Kilmer was a gamer man. Charlie Taylor nothing but pure class. Hanbuger just a great LB. Danny Buggs speed.
It's a beautiful thing. Bottom line he was an authentic original. He was awesome! Remember back in the day only LC Greenwood wore gold shoes, the Cowboys O line did the up/down before the snap, and people actually smoked cigarettes in there own home. Lol, not a smoker. Nowadays you have to ask if it's ok or just want to copy everyone else.
Redskins went 9-5 missed playoffs this year also lost close game at home to cowboys this year 14-7 this was truly the end of the over achieving over the hill Redskins teams of the 70s great memories 👍
Even though I loved Allen, it was time for him to go. After getting drubbed by the Vikes in the 76' playoffs the Skins had an extremely easy schedule in 77'. Outside of the Cowboys and an end of the year game against the Rams the Skins played no other playoff teams. They struggled with the hapless Bucs in a 10-0 yawner and couldn't score consistently the rest of the year as they put up less than 200 points for the entire season. The Cowboys swept both from the Skins as it became a transitional year for the Skins. They finally began to move away from Kilmer and went with Theismann.
Yes, the last 14 game season. I was crushed that the Skins wouldn't make the playoffs. I was 11 and was sad the it was George Allen's last year as coach. I had been too young to recall the '72 team. By the time i discovered the Redskins, they were at the end of the Allen years. I loved Billy Kilmer too. And i was sad he wouldnt be the fulltime starter the next year. There were few great games by the Redskins of the last two Allen seasons. But i always felt they were still on the brink of turning the corner. Even though they were really on their last leg.
Bad call with over 12 :00 minutes for the Redskins. You could obviously see the ball land close to the feet of Harmon. How is that intentional grounding?
End of a Era for both of these teams washington fan for 50 years then the cowboys and skins would retool again for more classic battles as good as the NFC was in the 70s with the vikings cowboys skins rams Dallas was the only team to win the super bowl in the 70s two times steelers raiders dolphins were more dominant
I respect George Allen’s as a head coach. He innovated the nickel defense . Everywhere he was, he built winners dating back to the Chicago Bears. However, Alan stuck with Billy Kilmer way too long. Alan could’ve gone with Sonny Jurgensen in his last 2 1/2 to three years. Sonny’s deep passing scared the hell out of Allen. Joe Theismann started too late in his career. Allen could’ve developed Joe earlier and he could’ve been successful.
Harvey Martin had like 3 sacks in the last 2 minutes of game !!! Also this game was the second time i seen someone kick drew Pearson while he was down !!!
You also have to consider the Cowboys defensive line. Harvey Martin, Randy White, Ed Jones. That's 1 HOFer, and 2 could be HOFers. That 77 d-line wreaked havoc on every team.
I'd rather have all these regular season losses to these f*****s rather than having 2 losses in the NFC CHampionship games. I bet they woukd say the same thing.🤔
HERRERA WAS INJURED..NOT PUBLICIZED..BEFORE THAT, HE JUST MADE A DAMN 52-YARDER AGAINST THE REDSKINS, LOL! DAN BAILEY GOT INJURED, JERY J LET IM GET AWAY, ISTEAD OF WAITING FOR HIM TO GET WELL..HE WAS THE MOST ACCURATE IN NFL HISTORY AT ONE TIME..

😄 👏
I actually miss that, 70s my childhood. Thank you
That used to drive my dad crazy!! 🤣
Redskins shouldve kept. Allen
Greatest decade of NFL football. Haven't watched a game in years.
EXACTLY...I was a kid / teen in the 70's...

East coast media bias
💯 percent true!!
I never realized how close this game was before the fourth quarter. I was watching Game 5 of the World Series when this was on.
Charley Taylor has passed away. He was 80.
Crazy Ray tearing up that Redskins pennant 😂
It's a travesty Drew Pearson is not in the HOF!
Him and Harris are now in. We need to push for Harvey Martin and especially the original #54 Chuck Howley.
Not anymore!
@@Boomhower89 Now Im a Steeler fan but you are spot on: how those two are not in HOF is just criminal literally!!! Im sorry I thought they were already in??? Yeah ridiculous.
It was amazing that Billy could walk again after the accident
This was on fab Cowboys team. They gave up 2 td's in 3 playoff games.
What a shellacking. ❤️-ed every minute of it.
I got it,I got it,60 minutes after the game!
In its entirety?
Wow what a year Harvey Martin and Randy White had - just so dominant. Even ended up as co-MVP’s of the Super Bowl this year!

This was billy. Kilmers. Last full season as a starter excellent. Player
Staubach got better as he got older
The cowgirls are the greatest cheerleaders ever
Allen. Needed. More speed on defense
Weird seeing Theismann without his single bar face mask!
Billy kilmer looked like some guy they pulled out of the stands
😂😂😂
That's why the dude was lived in D.C.
The Cowboys were beating Joe Theisman like my step dad was beating me back in the 70s! Go Cowboys!
Billy Kilmer was as tough as they came!
Redskin QB's threw for 1 yard net in this game.

beat USC with a broken leg
Billy Kilmer ... no one could hold his jock or his bottle
42:37 LOL. Staubach seems to telegraph his intentions. It sounds like he says "88", looks at Pearson, and motions to go long. Unstoppable.
Riggo smoking a pipe!!!! 7:31. No way you ever see that , now or then. One of a kind. As a cowboy fan I HATED , I mean HATED this redskin team. Now so many years later I love them. Kilmer was a gamer man. Charlie Taylor nothing but pure class. Hanbuger just a great LB. Danny Buggs speed.
We're lucky to be able to see the games and legends we've seen during our rivalry... too bad Danny and Jerry ruined it.

I miss this rivalry, we can only hope the Redskins name comes back, in this PC world we live in now, won't hold my breath.
47 years ago,,, WoW.😮 6-6-24

Sadly I will always remember Joe Theismann as the QB who broke his leg BADLY in a game ...And that was scary as hell to see..
Imagine if Lombardi hadn't gotten sick how many championships the Redskins would have won
Billy Kilmer was the first one to get a gold facemask for the 'Skins.
Theismann should have been starter by 1977.
Featuring “Old Furnace Face” Billy Kilmer!
Where did the first half go?
cool helmet-eye effect at 4 min.
Bad call with over 12 :00 minutes for the Redskins. You could obviously see the ball land close to the feet of Harmon. How is that intentional grounding?
2 words. ..Tex Schramm. 😂
Homey refs!🙄

I got into a physical fight in elementary school over this loss.
I was 22 years old when this game was played I was beyond that stuff by then
@@michaelleroy9281 I was 13 lol

Harvey Martin had like 3 sacks in the last 2 minutes of game !!! Also this game was the second time i seen someone kick drew Pearson while he was down !!!
Where?
59:23 approximately ,Pearson blocks number 53 for staubach and the guy kicks him while he is down!!
@@sonsneezer That's messed up. Do you think race had something to do with it?
I've never thought of that,but i dont believe so imo...
He wasn't actually kicked twice in one game ,he was kicked inthe plays right before the Hail mary play in 75 and then this game.
Redskins O-line was a no show in that game.
You also have to consider the Cowboys defensive line. Harvey Martin, Randy White, Ed Jones. That's 1 HOFer, and 2 could be HOFers. That 77 d-line wreaked havoc on every team.

Theismann with a different facemask...very odd
The cowboys cheerleader look like Ann-Margret’s little sister! I should behave today she’s probably somebody’s grandmother lol!
Herrera sucked in sbowl 12 he missed like 3 field goals from east range.
HERRERA WAS INJURED..NOT PUBLICIZED..BEFORE THAT, HE JUST MADE A DAMN 52-YARDER AGAINST THE REDSKINS, LOL! DAN BAILEY GOT INJURED, JERY J LET IM GET AWAY, ISTEAD OF WAITING FOR HIM TO GET WELL..HE WAS THE MOST ACCURATE IN NFL HISTORY AT ONE TIME..
@Richard Hamblen Herrera was gone before 1978 then they got Rafael Septien from the Rams as their kicker
@@richardhamblen5526 he still sucked in 12 injury or not!
Why the hell, isn't Drew Pearson, in the Hall of Fame. HOF, get your head out of your ass, and put him in!
He is in the Hall of Fame now!
