I was there, 12 yrs old, at the Browns playoff game. Only pro football game I attended in person and I loved it. I still think the Cowboys would have beaten the Packers in any game above 0 degrees that year.
Great football. A time gone by when people actually sat in their seats, still maintained their enthusiasm and still loud enough to intimidate the opposition. That's forever gone now.
A heartbreaker, to me, that they lost that Championship in Green Bay at the last second. I was eight years-old. Never thought of the Cowbays as blitzers. That was more the style of the aggressive Cardinals, who'd send a safetyman and linebackers after the quarterback, or maybe, the Redskins. Steelers won only five games in '67, but they beat the Packers late in the season, and that defense WAS a roughouse unit. Saints played the Cowboys tough!
A blitz is a gamble. It leaves man-man coverage on the outside. If the blitz is picked up. the defense has a big hole in coverage. That's why the top teams would rarely use the tactic. especially in big games. It actually worked better when less expected. Coach Landry would blitz but only when close to 100% sure it would work.
It's always a debate as to which Cowboys team is the best ever. For me the list begins with the 1992/1993 team. This team was young, aggressive, brash, and hungry. They dominated with The best OL(Great Wall Of Dallas) the game has ever seen. They kept Troy Aikman well protected, and opened alleys for the greatest RB, Emmitt Smith. And most important. They became the best by beating the best(namely the 49ers). After that the 1977 team had maybe the best balance of offense and defense. Harvey Martin had 23 1/2 sacks. Randy White had a bunch himself. Roger was at the top of his game. They took it to the next level. Limiting Denver to 35 yards passing in Super Bowl XII. HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS
This was a fun team to watch but they were only the 4th best team in the league that season at 9-5, losing to the last Lombardi team who at 9-4-1 in the championship, were not what they were 5 years before, but the Rams and Colts were each 11-1-2 in the West and one could only make the post season, decided on a tie breaker and each had beaten the Cowboys during the regular season. Only the fact that the Cowboys played in weaker Eastern Conference was the only reason they were in the title game. Better days were coming, but the best teams of 1967 teams did not play in the championship game. The Rams and Colts of 1967 situation is what caused the NFL to invent the Wildcard
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, and I hate to admit it.... but you are right. But I have to throw in another "but"....... injuries to both the Cowboys and the Packers obviously had a lot to do with their 9-5 and 9-4-1 records.🏈
4:08--5:36 nice jazz background music. Although the Cowboys went to the NFL title game in 1967, this wasn't really one of their better years. They finished 9-5, and some of those wins were nail-biters..
These were growing pains for the Cowboys. They were competitors. Tom Landry was ahead of his time in terms of tactics and strategy on all sides. They had some key injuries in 1967. Especially at QB. Plus they had a good running game but not a great one. The Defense was great against the Run. But their were holes in the pass coverage. This the Packers exploited during the game-deciding drive at the Ice Bowl.
I actually think the Cowboys had the better team than the Packers in 67 but the key was the brutally cold weather in the title game and the Packers having alot of big game experience. The Cowboys did not. 1967 was only their 2nd playoff appearance in franchise history
Tom Landry at the time was shedding the trash he had from the early years. By '67 he had gotten a lot of the talent he needed to run his system. And the players had begun to buy into it. But there were still growing pains. And a system with much complexity and maybe not enough simplicity. The teams they lost to in the post season, Packers 66-67, Browns 68-69, Colts SB V- these were loaded with playoff experience. but they were also well schooled in the simple fundamentals of the game. Tom saw the writing on the wall and made changes to his own philosophy. He favored a more run-oriented offense. I think this influenced his decision to choose Staubach over Morton. And of course history shows what a choice that was. How Bout Them Cowboys.
This was a hell of a lot of work for the Dallas Cowboys only to lose the Ice Bowl in the last 16 seconds of the game to the mighty Green Bay Packers he'll probably practice just a little bit harder that here to win back-to-back championships from not only the Cowboys better National Football League Eastern Division Giants New York Giants lost to the Packers in subsequent years 61 + 62 go pack
The Cleveland Browns, appearing in 3 straight NFL championship games: Lost to Dallas, 52-10, in 1967 Lost to Baltimore, 34-0, in 1968 Lost to Minnesota, 27-7, in 1969 Hmm......
From 1950-55 the Browns were in the NFL Championship Game every single year and won 3 of them. The Detroit Lions also won 3 NFL Championship Games in the 1950's. Kinda ironic that the NFL's best two teams from the decade prior to the start of the Super Bowl era are the only two NFL franchises that have never appeared in a Super Bowl besides Jacksonville and Houston but they've only been in existence since 1995 and 2002 respectively. The Browns also won the 1964 NFL Championship Game 27-0 over the Baltimore Colts two years before the first Super Bowl and appeared in the 65 Championship but lost to Lombardi's Packers 23-12. The Browns were consistent winners for a very long time
@@jeremythompson9122 But when the era of Jim Brown/Leroy Kelly ended, around 1972, the Browns started a long decline, and other than a few years in the 1980s, they've never regained their past glory. They had a fairly easy time of it in the 1960s, when Dallas was really the only other competitive team in the East, but since transferring to the AFC, they haven't been the same team..
I have to respectfully disagree about the 1967 Browns being a great team. True, they did win the weak Century Division, but they lost 55 to 7 to the Packers, 31 to 14 to a losing Detroit team, and struggled with some weak teams including a loss to the Giants, who were the worst team in pro football the year before. I think that the 1967 Browns had their worst team of the 1960's that year. They had their problems that year with their quarterback, Frank Ryan, having his worst year as a result of injuries, loss of middle linebacker Vince Costello, injured tight end Milt Morin, and the team generally not playing very well on the road, which indicates a team that was not in good physical shape. They lost to Dallas at home, 21 to 14, for the first time and only time in the 60's. Their usual back up quarterback, Jim Ninowski, was traded, and 1967 was a year that I believe he could have won the starting job over Frank Ryan. Cleveland got quarterback Bill Nelson in a trade in 1968 and bounced back, even beating Dallas in the playoffs after losing the 1967 playoff game to the Cowboys, 52 to 14.
Howley, Jordan and Edwards were all instrumental in the Landry Flex 4-3. It was designed to keep Jordan free to make most of the tackles, while Howley was faster, and covered the pass best out of the backfield. Edwards stuffed the run on the strong side of the formation.
I’m not a Cowboys fan but I absolutely loved this segment. A lot of respect for the players from this era.
The Ice Bowl is still the best football game I've ever watched even to this day. I'm not sure it will ever be surpassed
Believe or not it was a sellout
Best ever football game
All imma say is snow and Buffalo …
Bullet Bob Hayes my favorite all time Dallas Cowboy. Period!
A faster Antonio Brown, ON THE FIELD that is! Lol!!
Mine too loved watching Bullet Bob
Kick Ass Football at it's Best from the Dallas Cowboys 1967.
The Cowboys jerseys white or blue sure looked better than what they're wearing now
Great footage in surprising great quality
It certainly is.
Yes indeed

@@jstube36 Packers didn't blitz either. Think they blitzed in the second half of the first NFL/AFL Title Game.
The 1960s and 70s Dallas cowboys were the greatest football team of all time

The score on Thanksgiving against the Cardinals was 46-21 not 48-21 as he says
The CB looks like it had the smallest numbers on the field and it's interesting how it's 5, 10, 15 instead of 10,20,30 etc.

Glad you liked it. More to come. Stay tuned.
Couldn't win the big one. Cost Don Meredith his sanity. So he left. RIP
That's not what killed him idiot! What are bizarre comment.
He played one more season after this one
In 1970. He was part of Monday Night Football on ABC

Damn Bullet Bob Hayes
The man with the flashing smile and flying feet. The man who runs like the restless wind.
FAMU
World's Fastest Human Ever!!
Bob Hayes, Antonio Brown with speed.
Without the baggage
They didn't have quite the offense from 1966 but they got the job done almost beat the Pack in the Ice.Bowl

Sounds like they are having a collective baby: 0:34
lol
40 guys for one baby? Who's your daddy!!!! 😆
I always thought Dandy Don was really a good player who did not get his due.
And I hate the Cowboys.
The Cleveland Browns, appearing in 3 straight NFL championship games:
Lost to Dallas, 52-10, in 1967
Lost to Baltimore, 34-0, in 1968
Lost to Minnesota, 27-7, in 1969
Hmm......
Wrong. The 1967 game was a Divisional round game. The Cowboys played Green Bay in the NFL Championship(Ice Bowl) Game
From 1950-55 the Browns were in the NFL Championship Game every single year and won 3 of them. The Detroit Lions also won 3 NFL Championship Games in the 1950's.

1967 was the Eastern Conference Championship not the Championship Game
@@jeremythompson9122 The 2 most picked on teams now Browns Lions were fighting each other for Championships in the 50's
1967 was not their best team only 9-5 but they won a division and won a rout over great Browns team
Same for the Packers. 9-4-1 good enough to win Central Division, then clobbered the Rams in the WC playoff.

If you're gonna talk about the Cowboys defense, you have to talk about LeeRoy Jordan and Chuck Howley. Without them, they were ordinary.
it's a shame that neither Howley or Jordan are in the Hall Of Fame.
@Jonathan Rock Oh man! You're absolutely right. My bad. I typed with my heart there.
Howley, Jordan and Edwards were all instrumental in the Landry Flex 4-3. It was designed to keep Jordan free to make most of the tackles, while Howley was faster, and covered the pass best out of the backfield. Edwards stuffed the run on the strong side of the formation.
