Maybe my favorite year in the NFL. Maybe cause I was 8. Maybe cause I loved the Cowboys. But I can watch Cowboy footage from from the early 80's all day. Even though they fell short each year I just love the Danny White years believe it or not :)
Same with me and the Romo years
@@shmeagol - the Danny White and Tony Romo led years are some of my favorites, too.
Me as well
Me too. My interest was born in '80. By '81, I had fallen in love with the game. Today, however, I'm separated and will divorce nfl soon.

Back when Sunday Night Football was a rare treat
Yep. As it should be. The football day on Sunday would usually wrap up by 7pm.
Without all the crapola.
always loved this uniform matchup. The Rams colors looked great especially on turf
Love these great Cowboys memories!!!!!
From 1966 to 1985, the Cowboys were 208-79-2. They missed the playoffs twice in 20 years, but were 8-6 and 9-7 those two years. 20 straight winning seasons, 5 SBs, 12 NFC Championship games, and 2 SB wins.
This was long before free agency, and the flag football rules. They had to play against the great Packers teams, the awesome Steelers teams, then the super 49ers teams.
In title games Tom Landry lost:
To the Packers twice by 4 points
To Unitas' Colts by 3
To Chuck Knoll's Steelers twice by 4 points
To Montana's 49ers by 1
Had he won even one of those games, there would be NO question that Tom Landry is the greatest coach of all time. He's still in the top 5 of anyone who knows football. Personally, I believe he is THE GOAT of coaches.
He built his team from scratch, starting in 1960, then in 1975 they were old, and he rebuilt them again. Then, when Staubach retired, he retooled them and went to 3 straight NFC title games with Danny White. I have no doubt that he would have rebuilt them again when they hit rock bottom in 1988. It's a shame that Jerry didn't keep him around in some capacity to be the public face of the dynasty he managed for 29 years.
Jones will NEVER be loved because of the arrogant and clownish way he canned this great gentleman. It was shameful. He unceremoniously fired a LEGEND. Landry did not respond with any snide comments, but when Jones tried, years later, to mend the fence, Tom said, "no thanks." Landry knew a man of low character when he met one.
I cannot wait to meet Mr Landry when the Lord Jesus returns to gather us home. He was a great coach, and a great human being.
Tom Landry built the cowboys he's the reason why they got so popular not jimmy Johnson or Jerry Jones
@@barbaracaroll No doubt. I loved Jimmy, but I despise Jerry.
@@barbaracaroll Have you seen some of the 70's Cowboys games on youtube?
And except for a couple of bad calls and overlooked calls, they might have won most of them. Only Shula rebuilt teams like Landry did.
Amen, that 20 year stretch of success will never be matched.
The quality of this video is better than the tv/antenna we had in 1981
Man wished Pearson had had more time in that title game almost scored White threw three touchdowns in that game but that fumble late before that was bad 40 years still have not forgotten
Same here. I can't even watch replays of that game. That had to be one of the toughest losses. if not the toughest, to take & that includes the two super losses to the Steelers.
Tarkenton was not just a terrible announcer, he was a lousy human being.
Nobody can question that kind of dominance
Man that Defense Scary Good so proud of them
A good portion of the rams were actually hungover during this game
I lifelong Cowboys fan since the 70’s The early 80’s teams got close 3 straight nfc championship game loses. And 79 & 83 upset loses to the Rams & shutout lose the rams in 85.
Let me guess ABC had the World Series that is why this game was played on Sunday night
This was the week after the Cowboys got crushed by the Niners in the regular season that year.
They were good that year unfortunately I got to see Montanna to Clark in the NFC Title game watched that at one of my high school buddy's house we were all their about 5 6 of us including my buddy's Mom when that happened it sucked the air out of the room never forget that
It was more the horse collar tackle on Drew Pearson after that play that ended the game, had that not happened, the "catch" would've been an after thought in a great comeback by the Cowboys.
The TD man Mr Tony Dorsett
Wow. The Rams played like they were all hungover.
Oh, right.
America's Team Man I miss Tony Dorsett

A sad prenote to Black Monday for fellow Expos fans. Bringing in Steve Rogers was still the right call. Would have won it all in ‘94. But, ….back to the football game.
Rick F'n Monday
Interesting how at 1:36:16 no one on his own sideline offers to help Pat Haden up after the Harvey Martin sack.
The Rams had better runners, but Pat Haden had a bad night. 3-4 Interceptions will kill, tire any defense.....................gg
Gifford wasnt kidding. San Fran was for real
We almost had them that fumble by White late in the game not good however he played. well unfortunately they had Joe Montanna I can't stand the 49ers but they beat us man that was unfortunate I was 17 years old when I saw that 57 now that was not enjoyable
He was not kidding still trying to forget that championship game
Man I miss those days at least we were in the NFC Title Game been waiting a long long time for us to get back
Thriil Hill man what a legend loved him still miss him
Man what a fantastic receiver underrated
Man listening to Gifford is painful lol
The. Rams shouldve kept. Jaworski
When you go 0/10 in 3rd down conversion you know you've lost.
42 years ago !
The Pure Garbage Calls against Dallas.
End of second quarter call on Drew "NOT"out of bounds ! Pure 🗑!
Even back then.
Is it possible if we could see 2001 Patriots Dolphins week 4 and 2000 Bengals Patriots eventually
Just type that into the youtube search. I've found just about every game that way.
If George. Allen. Hadnt. Been. Fired. The. Rams. Wouldve beaten. The. Dallas. Cowboys Cowboys. Regularly
1:07:00
Good to beat the Rams
The Rams could beat the Cowboys in Dallas, but rarely if ever in LA.
Heisman Rookie of the year Superbowl Champion Hall of Famer enough said forgot how good Doug Cosbie was
Meanwhile two time Heisman winner Archie Griffin didn't gain as many yards or score as many touchdowns in his career than Tony in his first 3 years despite not even starting until late in his rookie season!
