Tom Landry ... Grossly Underrated Innovator , Teacher , Selfless Example , Genius ... This Game Would Not be the same without Him ... Sadly the Great ones are Not Appreciated until they are gone ...
I absolutely love the Manster Randy White. He was as good as anybody I ever saw. In a lot of ways my favorite Cowboy of all time. If you saw Hollywood Henderson play he could easily have been in the HOF for sure.
How could he not be......they don't make em like the Master anymore....I've watched the Cowboys since 1977, he's the greatest DT I've ever seen. And sorry people, its not even close from a tackle, sack, run stopper, and intimidating standpoint. Former eagle coach Dick Vermeil labeled him a "bagger". You know- #54 shows up to compete and body bags get filled...Thanks for the forever memories #54
Alright, go play Pittsburgh. I know you remember that game in '77 and that year was the worst Steelers team from 1972-79 - So many distractions and off field issues doomed them from the start. Pittsburgh should not have made the playoffs but the Bengals choked and let the Steelers in
@@1983jblack Cowboys were a better team that year and possibly 78 too. They always played in Pittsburgh for thier regular season matchups. Cowboys won at home in '72 and also 2 preseason games in late 70s at home.
Great team, though not as good as the back-to-back teams ‘92-‘93. THOSE teams can beat any team from any era, at least 6/10 times. Yup, there isn’t a team in NFL history which could go 10 games vs those Cowboys and win even 5 of them. Most wouldn’t win more than 2-3.
That 77 team could beat any team. I don't think any team of any time was better. I will put it this way, I think these Cowboys if they played ANY TEAM OF ANY TIME, 100 times they would win AT LEAST 50 games. I wish the Steelers would have made it in 77 instead of Denver. They would have beat the Steelers, pretty positive of it. Still, much respect to the great 70's squads such as the Steelers, Raiders, Vikings and Dolphins...what an era!!!
T.D. ( Tony Dorsett) is my favorite running back. He could break one on any given play. And he was the first running back to run for a 99 yard touchdown. A record that can never be broken unless the field becomes longer.
Every one of those guys on Doomsday II defense and '77 Cowboys offense were and will always be my football heroes. Loved watching them every Sunday when I was kid.
Thomas Hollywood Henderson actually had excellent individual moments vs the Steelers, especially in both cowboys SB losses inthe 70's vs Pittsburgh. He almost ran SB 10 game opening kickoff for a TD ,setting up a early cowboys fg ,his successfull grasping of Bradshaw in SB 13, allowing his teammate Mike Hegmans to strip Bradshaw of the ball and return it for a cowboys defensive TD certified his presence as being a thorn for the Steelers in both SB games . His part on the cowboys defense in both SB games of not allowing Franco to break outside containment prevented Franco from eclipsing 100 yds in any of those SB games or avg 4 yds a carry . Thomas Hollywood Henderson wasn't made impactful plays against the Steelers. Fortunately our Steelers captured both SB wins and both the 77 and 79 regular season wins .
I can still picture Ed Jones walking down the field after yet another long play against them in '89, telling his teammates, "You guys suck! I played with some of the best ever and you truly suck!" Ed Belongs in the HoF!
I don't hate Hollywood, I actually respect him for being honest. Few people are honest in this world. I've been a fan of the Cowboys since the early 1970s, when I subscribed to their magazine and watched them every Sunday and Monday Night! My favorite was Bob Lilly! But anyway, great video! Thanks!
Could of should of would of. Glad to hear Thomas Henderson turned his life around. I do love to hear Randy White stories. Randy and Herschel Walker are my all time favorite Cowboys.

@@davidcook680 The mid sixties to the 1978 Super Bowl team (a 35-31 loss to the Steelers in Jan of 1979 in the Orange Bowl) was definitely my favorite time. Consistent excellence by Dallas. Five Super Bowl appearances in the 70s, the most by any team. Keep an eye out come Super Bowl time. Chuck Howley is a Senior Committee nominee for the Hall of Fame. He is 86 and suffering from Alzheimer's. I sure hope he gets in. He had two excellent Super Bowls, V vs the Baltimore Colts and VI vs the Miami Dolphins. He remains the only player from a losing team to win MVP honors in a Super Bowl game. That was in Super Bowl V.
@@carlosduarte4181 Out of all the them it's DREW PEARSON EVERSON WALLS. Strong consideration to Cliff and Harvey. If they beat Pittsburgh in 1 SB another 4 go in easily.
For people who still doubt.. This weekend Dallas is Playing in LA and the stadium is filled with Cowboys fans.. The Dallas Cowboys will always be America's Team!
when the Packers played at the Rams last year packer fans took over that Stadium. The Philadelphia Eagles fans has taking over that Stadium the last 2 years also so that's not saying much.
Real Madrid is a big club too. Around 660 millions of fans, at least one "Peña madridista" (group of fans) in 194 countries in the world. U.N. has 193 members. In this days, we are renovating our house, Santiago Bernabéu stadium. A big work, years, tons of money and worker's sweat. And this new stadium, and all the new business linked to the stadium, are inspired by the Dallas Cowboys. Greatness recognized greatness.
As a Cowboys fan, I always found it very interesting about the historical significance between Super Bowl V (1970 season and Super Bowl XII (1977 season). Craig Morton was the Cowboys starting QB for Super Bowl V, and it still is the only Super Bowl in which the MVP was named from the losing team (Cowboys, Doomsday I, Chuck Howley). Ironically, Craig Morton ended up being the starting QB for the Cowboys' opponent in Super Bowl XII, and it is still the only Super Bowl to have co-MVPs (Cowboys, Doomsday ll, Harvey Martin and Randy White).
I was born in 1971 and started watching football in Tony Dorsett’s rookie year. The impact he made on me can’t be overstated. Watching him run/glide up the middle was like poetry in motion. Yeah, I loved to see Tony Hill make an over the shoulder long catch, but that 33 up the middle still is the most excited I’ve ever been watching any athlete. When I did start playing football around 1979, it was just by chance that I got assigned number 33. I Still remember one of my teammates’ mom tossing me my gold jersey with green numbers and me just busting at the seams when I held it up and saw 33 with my name over it. To this day, 33 makes its way into my everyday life as any password I create always has 33 in it.
Had Roger stayed, we may have won another title or two as I know we win one or two of those NFC Championship games. Danny White was better than he ever gets credit for, however, he had a knack for throwing crucial interceptions and mainly for NOT being Roger the Dodger. I think had Roger played until 84 we at the LEAST win one more title if not 2 or 3.
You are a homer....love ur passion. Roger had concussions. No way he could play into his 40's. By 1984 he would have been 42. Maybe 1 more Super Bowl had he stayed. He was my favorite player. Made 100 greatest. Betr man than player. True Christian.
That 1980 Eagle team that made he Superbowl was good. But, I think Dallas wins the NFC title game if Roger had stayed one more season. I think Dallas would have also beat the 1980 Raiders that represented the AFC with Staubach at the helm. The 1983 Raiders were one of the all-time great teams, but that 1980 squad was the weakest Oakland squad to ever make a Super Bowl appearance in my opinion.
I still don’t know how the hell the Niners beat Dallas in the 82 nfc championship with all the turnovers they made. When u make like 6or 7 turnovers, you have like a one percent chance of winning
Super Bowl 13 was devastating for the team and myself personally even though I have no affiliation I still think and wish that turned out different to this day as the Cowboys would have been the first to win three Super Bowls and then known as the team of the 70s... only thing I could think of changing NFL history moreso or a harder pill to swallow would have been the 2007 Patriots unbeaten team losing to a big Underdog in the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
Awesome video! I grew up on the Cowboys and I loved them as much as I did my own family. I would be very nervous before & during the game and if when they won I would have way too much energy and when they lost everyone knew to leave me alone for about a week. No one knows this but when we lost the 2 Super Bowls to the Steelers I went to my room and cried like a babyeach time. I never missed a second of there games and when they were on I could be found right in front of the TV with my football. My dad would constantly be yelling me to move out of the way so he could see the game and also for me throwing my football in the air during every play. I was just trying to help them win!
My brother and myself were devastated when Staubach retired. We were in our teens, it made no sense. When the issue of CTE came about it became clear. Roger suffered numerous concussions, and had the sense to get out while he could. As far as former players from any team, he is worth the most $400M. He made the right choice.
Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, both were the coordinators with the Giants during the years that they were winning championships, Landry was the defensive specialist one of the best in the games history.
The 1977 Dallas Cowboys are clearly THE most underrated team in NFL history. They were the last team to lead the league in total offense AND defense as Doomsday II racked up 53 sacks in a 14 game schedule. This squad then went on to dominate the post-season by outscoring their opponents 87-23. One could argue that in the first 12 years of the Super Bowl Era, the 1977 Cowboys were the greatest NFL team of all-time.
True, but that was the Cowboys last loss of the 1977 season, and they went on to beat the Broncos in the last game of the regular season AND in Super Bowl 12. This was the same Broncos team that defeated the Steelers 34-21 in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.
Not even close - the 1972 Dolphins were better in every retrospect. They led the league in total offense and defense as well as most points scored and fewest points allowed. People can criticize their schedule all they want but look at it this way. When the 1972 season started, K.C., Min., and Bal x2, was a brutal schedule to have to face if you base it off their 1971 performance. Their schedule was soft which means they should win every game......and they did. What makes it worse, their 1973 team was even more devastating despite not leading on all categories. The 1977 Cowboys were not underrated. Everyone had them for the NFC that year since Minnesota was getting older and Los Angeles was in transition with Joe Namath. Most pegged Pittsburgh or Oakland initially but Pittsburgh's off season issues doomed them and Oakland wasn't bad, just Denver came along and didn't give up any points. Dallas was expected to win the NFC and when it was found to be Denver, no one gave the Broncos a chance to win.
I was born in '67 so I was a kid during the great teams of the 70's. I'm a Texan so I loved the Cowboy's. I'm not sure which SB it was but I remember watching some pregame coverage and there was a segment titled The Cliff and Charlie Show. Does anyone else remember it ? If I had to guess it probably was one of the Pittsburgh v Dallas SB's but I can't be totally sure.
I will forever be grateful for being able to be present for a Dallas Cowboys vs Eagles championship game in the early 80s. I've always loved the Cowboys and 76-86 were the best years ever. Tom Landry will forever be the best coach.
Roger Staubach is the only autograph i have ever gotten from a famous person. I have met MANY famous people. He was the only one i cared to get. Love Rodger the Dodger!!
Rolando as a young fan (fan of 50 years ) I connected to the players as if there was a personal connection with the players .. As of late I did/have with Dware, Jwit and #9.. As I get older and the generational gap widens not so much connection with players however the STAR on Silver I will always romanticize.
the 70's was the best in good teams, dolphins, steelers, raiders, broncos.cowboys, redskins, vikings teams that were good during the 70's. and there a couple more that were competitive.
Ed “To Tall” Jones should be in the Hall of Fame. The only good part about the NFL not paying generational wealth to players in the 1970s was that it allowed players like Henderson to step away to pursue dreams & then come back. Hollywood Henderson was a beast of an athlete & entertaining too.
In addition to Harvey Martin and Randy White, there is no question that Ed “Too Tall” Jones and Randy Hughes could have gotten a share of the MVP award in Super Bowl XII.
Interesting fact about the decline of Doomsday II. Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters never played a regular or postseason game together after SB XIII. Waters missed the entire 79 season with a knee injury and the Harris retired after the 1979 season.
The Dallas cowboys when tom landry was coach at10yrs old I be been hoocked ever since.im 50yrs old and still native sanfrancan but a die hard cowboys fan
I was fortunate to have met Randy White, and Bob Lilly and have my Pro Football Hall of Fame football signed by both. I also was at a autograph show where Ernie Stautner was signing and didn't want to spend the extra few dollars to get him to sign that football. I have truly regretted that since.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the error by Randy White around the 41:30 mark. Franco scored a TD midway thru the 4th quarter shortly after the controversial PI on Benny Barnes. During the ensuing kickoff White fumbled the ball. The next play Bradshaw hit Swann in the back of the end zone for the score that provided the final margin of victory.
You're absolutely right. The Harris run was right before the fumbled return, and was only twenty-something yards. Considering Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns in a three play sequence, I don't really blame Randy for being a little dazed though. -.-
There is a sequence of three or four plays in the third which doomed us. We were out playing them, they hadn't gained many yards in the second half and the call, the drop and the fumble as well as the ref blocking Charlie on the Franco run all work against us.
The Greatest Dallas Cowboys Franchise Historical 💙 Team ever live. my beloved ♥ Dallas Cowboys 🇺🇸. forever. and I will all aways be a America's Team fan .
Nobody enjoyed Dallas more than I did in the 60's and 70's! Nobody was more devastated than I was when Jerry Jones took over the destruction of Dallas!
Doomsday had a great mentality. That's what all the greats had in both offense and defense had. That's a reason all the great players in NFL history are in the Hall of Fame, mentality. The mentality of the players of today is still there, it's just the NFL seems to be trying to mask it the best way they can.
IM SO HONORED TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS TEAM IN 79, SWITCHING FROM VIKINGS, HAVE BLED BLUE EVER SINCE, THANK TO EVERYONE EVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ORGANIZATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love watching 70’s nfl and I love when defenses had names Doomsday Steel Curtain Orange Crush No Name Gritz Blitz Purple People Eaters Redwood forest Sack Pack I wish that would come back
Maybe! Yeah that was really bitter not to get at least get one of those Super Bowls really was! I blame Danny white ultimately he was like Romo. Good but not clutch. Staubach and Aikman were a different breed white and Romo were chokers!!!
We would have won the Superbowl 3 years in a row if Roger hadn't retired simple as that wouldn't even been close we would have beat the Raiders the Bengals and the Dolphins we didn't need Henderson we needed Rodger
I remember the 81 championship game we were in field goal range and Danny White fumbled the catch wouldn't even exist if Danny White hadn't fumbled we were in field goal range
@@forrestmarques7256 i wouldnt quite put white in the same sentence as tony romo.....white at least got to THREE nfc championship games....romo got to how many???
I loved them so much, I never saw the decline as it was happening. I saw them slowly retire and replace superb players with lesser players, but the uniform and the Stars n the helmet kept me mesmerized and thinking we were ALWAYS just barely out of it. I made every excuse there was. I rationalized but realized the front office was no longer finding and coming up with phenomenal performers. The FLEX got old and predictable. I saw it, but wouldn't admit it. I never accepted the actual slow decline until they unceremoniously fired and retired the GREAT Tom Landry. Beautiful outro here with beloved Bob Bruneg (Mr. Not Lee Roy Jordan) singing and playing.
I was in my #10 Grade of High School 🏫, and the best 👌 of times of 1970's . It doesn't get enymore better than this,a' ll America 🇺🇸 Team Forever Dallas Cowboys Nation Fanatic Fan delusional are not ,Dogs gone it , I don't care what other people think of me . It's the Truly perfect 👌 best Dallas Cowboys Nation Ever. Be Blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ is Love 💘 Peace and Grace and mercy and Love 💘. Brothers and Sisters of America and World 🌎 Be healed , by our Lord Jesus Christ is Love 💘 All of God's blessed family 👪
Oh"Yeah America 🇺🇸 they're we're that great 👍 👌 What a joy 'us time to be a Dallas Cowboy Fan it was amazing Fanatic and awesome. Thank you, Dallas Cowboys my team forever. I Love all of Y"all. The very best 👌. 1977 Dallas Cowboys it's absolutely 💯 no better than this.
Herb Aderly came to the Cowboys from the Packers in 1970 and Lance Alworth came to the Cowboys from the Chargers in 1971 to help Dallas win Super Bowl 6 over the Miami Dolphins in the 1971-72 season. Tom Landry also had some truly great assistant coaches in the 1970s; Erie Stautner, Dan Reeves, Mike Ditka and Gene Stallings.
Five Super Bowls in 10 years, 2 Super Bowl titles by a combined score of 51-13, and 3 Super Bowl losses by a combined 11 points. The Cowboys also won more games than any team in the 1970's, and the 1977 Cowboys team are clearly THE most underrated team in NFL history. They were the last team to lead the league in total offense AND defense as Doomsday II racked up 53 sacks in a 14 game schedule. This squad then went on to dominate the post-season by outscoring their opponents 87-23. One could argue that in the first 12 years of the Super Bowl Era, the 1977 Cowboys were the greatest NFL team of all-time.
Hmmmm good points. 1993 i believe to be their best....at least of the final 3. 78 team was unreal as well. I still believe they were betr team in SB 13. Pitt got the break (s)....many of them.
@@michaelleroy9281 The 1975 Dirty Dozen draft helped the 1977 Cowboys to overcome some issues that could have derailed their Super Bowl winning run. For example, Hall of Fame RT Rayfield Wright suffered a knee injury prior to the 77 season, but Pat Donavan filled in beautifully for Wright. Thomas Henderson did the same on the defensive side of the ball, turning the Cowboy's LB corps from an aging/slow group to a young/fast group of linebackers.
Every man in the video are HOF to me.....ring of honor as well. Waters, DD Lewis played in all 5 superbowls under Landry. Breunig Hegman, Henderson Randy and Too tall 3 or 4. Martin as well. Cliff Harris there as well. Rayfield Wright, Cliff Harris, Roger Staubach, Randy White, Mel Renfro, Tony Dorsett and Drew Pearson all got Gold Jackets from those years. Other ones that should at least been ring of honor include all of them plus Danny White, Tom Rafferty, Ralph Neely, Robert Newhouse, Billy Joe DuPree, Pat Donovan, Preston Pearson, Golden Richards, Jethro Pugh, Randy Hughes, and John Fitzgerald. Dallas 77 might be the best team ever in the history of the NFL!

Tom Landry ... Grossly Underrated Innovator , Teacher , Selfless Example , Genius ... This Game Would Not be the same without Him ... Sadly the Great ones are Not Appreciated until they are gone ...
He was a ww2war hero ,FlewB-1amy mission's. Several close calls. Great faith in God.
I don’t think he was underrated he is a HOF by no means him and Lombardi were underdogs
He brought so many innovations to the game, his work ethic and preparation skills raised the individual players to a level that could not be beat.
He had grit.
Agree. And a great man on top of everything. He doesn’t get credit for his coaching tree.
Harvey Martin 23 sacks in a 14 GAME SEASON. The rest of the world might not know, Harvey. But we here do.
14 games
Major rules changes in 1978 that benefited offenses might’ve had something to do with that. No disrespect to Mr. Martin. He was a great player. RIP.
Harvey should be in the Cowboys ROH and Pro Football HOF. It's long overdue.
he got 23 sacks in 77, not 78.
Actually, 1977 was a 14 game season.
I absolutely love the Manster Randy White. He was as good as anybody I ever saw. In a lot of ways my favorite Cowboy of all time. If you saw Hollywood Henderson play he could easily have been in the HOF for sure.
Maybe. When he was cut never was he on ANY pro bowls/all-pro/all-conference list. But solo talented. Great humble man. SOBER since 1983. My hero!
Sadly Hollywood let drugs ruin a great career.
How about Bill Bates?
@@dakmycat3688 I believe Bill Bates should be in the ring of honor. The ultimate cowboy.
All-Time favorite Dallas Cowboy, The Manster, Randy White.
How could he not be......they don't make em like the Master anymore....I've watched the Cowboys since 1977, he's the greatest DT I've ever seen. And sorry people, its not even close from a tackle, sack, run stopper, and intimidating standpoint. Former eagle coach Dick Vermeil labeled him a "bagger". You know- #54 shows up to compete and body bags get filled...Thanks for the forever memories #54
Joe Greene was much better...when Vermeil said bagger he meant randy soo dumb he could only be a bagger at grocery mart.
same here
Randy routinely required double and even triple teams.
One of the only guys in the nfl with 2% body fat
The only other guy?
Charlie Waters
The 77 team was was and is still my favorite Cowboys team. They were dominate in every phase of the game.
Except in Pittsburgh in November against the weakest of the 70's Steelers.
Except against Pittsburgh in November against the weakest super Steelers of the 70's.
Except against Pittsburgh in November.....
Except against Pittsburgh in November.
USA Citizen ok?
The 70's, 80's and 90's were the best era of the NFL. Its not very good since.
I would take that 1977 team and go play anybody. Loved that team.
Alright, go play Pittsburgh. I know you remember that game in '77 and that year was the worst Steelers team from 1972-79 - So many distractions and off field issues doomed them from the start. Pittsburgh should not have made the playoffs but the Bengals choked and let the Steelers in
@@1983jblack Cowboys were a better team that year and possibly 78 too.
They always played in Pittsburgh for thier regular season matchups.
Cowboys won at home in '72 and also 2 preseason games in late 70s at home.
Great team, though not as good as the back-to-back teams ‘92-‘93. THOSE teams can beat any team from any era, at least 6/10 times. Yup, there isn’t a team in NFL history which could go 10 games vs those Cowboys and win even 5 of them. Most wouldn’t win more than 2-3.
That 77 team could beat any team. I don't think any team of any time was better. I will put it this way, I think these Cowboys if they played ANY TEAM OF ANY TIME, 100 times they would win AT LEAST 50 games. I wish the Steelers would have made it in 77 instead of Denver. They would have beat the Steelers, pretty positive of it. Still, much respect to the great 70's squads such as the Steelers, Raiders, Vikings and Dolphins...what an era!!!
I played with the 77 team and beat the undefeated Dolphins
the "DOOMSDAY DEFENSE"...the best NFL moniker ever.
T.D. ( Tony Dorsett) is my favorite running back. He could break one on any given play. And he was the first running back to run for a 99 yard touchdown. A record that can never be broken unless the field becomes longer.
I remember that play well. I was already in bed, my my dad woke up my brothers me to watch the replays.
A great player ,and a class act.
The best year of any football player ever. 1976 -Heisman and National champion. 1977 -Rookie of the year and scored TD in Superbowl win.
On that play when Dorsett went 99 yards against the Vikings the Cowboys only had ten players on the field. True story
@@jpkillibrew1638 I think it was Ron Springs that wasn't in there.
Wow!! What a Great time to be a Dallas Cowboys fan!!! Tony Dorsett is my all-time favorite running back!!!
Every one of those guys on Doomsday II defense and '77 Cowboys offense were and will always be my football heroes. Loved watching them every Sunday when I was kid.
Roger Staubach.👍
In ‘77 and ‘78 Henderson was arguably the best linebacker in the NFL. That defense was stacked!!!
Stop smoking the same crack he smoked. He wasn't close to the top with the likes of Gradishar, Lambert, Ham, Brazile, Jackson, Bergey, and Hendricks
Henderson was also one of the best kick returners at the time as well. He was incredible,
Except against Pittsburgh?
He had a nose for the ball & a couple other things!
Thomas Hollywood Henderson actually had excellent individual moments vs the Steelers, especially in both cowboys SB losses inthe 70's vs Pittsburgh. He almost ran SB 10 game opening kickoff for a TD ,setting up a early cowboys fg ,his successfull grasping of Bradshaw in SB 13, allowing his teammate Mike Hegmans to strip Bradshaw of the ball and return it for a cowboys defensive TD certified his presence as being a thorn for the Steelers in both SB games . His part on the cowboys defense in both SB games of not allowing Franco to break outside containment prevented Franco from eclipsing 100 yds in any of those SB games or avg 4 yds a carry . Thomas Hollywood Henderson wasn't made impactful plays against the Steelers. Fortunately our Steelers captured both SB wins and both the 77 and 79 regular season wins .
I can still picture Ed Jones walking down the field after yet another long play against them in '89, telling his teammates, "You guys suck! I played with some of the best ever and you truly suck!"
Ed Belongs in the HoF!
SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE
I don't hate Hollywood, I actually respect him for being honest. Few people are honest in this world. I've been a fan of the Cowboys since the early 1970s, when I subscribed to their magazine and watched them every Sunday and Monday Night! My favorite was Bob Lilly! But anyway, great video! Thanks!
There both sorely missed
Doomsday enough said
I remember my dad and me watching the Hail Mary pass. What a memory!
Could of should of would of. Glad to hear Thomas Henderson turned his life around. I do love to hear Randy White stories. Randy and Herschel Walker are my all time favorite Cowboys.
Thomas Hollywood Henderson, Randy White, Harvey Martin, Ed Too Tall Jones, Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters!
Those Cowboys were so good that even as a Steelers fan in W.PA I respected the Cowboys, enjoyed watching them play & wouldn’t have minded if they won. Tony Dorsett of course was a W.PA hero too. Cowboys were a dynasty in their own right.
NOW THATS A DEFENSE

@@lichotropical3350 No doubt about it. Officially, Bob Lilly is "Mr. Cowboy" but that title should have been bestowed to Coach Landry.
Chuck Howley might make it into the HOF this year. He is 86 and in the throes of dementia. He should have been enshrined years ago.
I been watching the cowboys sense the 80's. Would have loved to been watching in the sixties
@@davidcook680 The mid sixties to the 1978 Super Bowl team (a 35-31 loss to the Steelers in Jan of 1979 in the Orange Bowl) was definitely my favorite time. Consistent excellence by Dallas. Five Super Bowl appearances in the 70s, the most by any team.
Keep an eye out come Super Bowl time. Chuck Howley is a Senior Committee nominee for the Hall of Fame. He is 86 and suffering from Alzheimer's. I sure hope he gets in.
He had two excellent Super Bowls, V vs the Baltimore Colts and VI vs the Miami Dolphins.
He remains the only player from a losing team to win MVP honors in a Super Bowl game. That was in Super Bowl V.

when the Packers played at the Rams last year packer fans took over that Stadium. The Philadelphia Eagles fans has taking over that Stadium the last 2 years also so that's not saying much.
MICOLE WHYTE#Oneplus6T, A20, LG G6, yes it is! Go cowboys!
This was the 70's but still how bout them Cowboys
Amen!!
Real Madrid is a big club too. Around 660 millions of fans, at least one "Peña madridista" (group of fans) in 194 countries in the world. U.N. has 193 members. In this days, we are renovating our house, Santiago Bernabéu stadium. A big work, years, tons of money and worker's sweat. And this new stadium, and all the new business linked to the stadium, are inspired by the Dallas Cowboys.
Greatness recognized greatness.
As a Cowboys fan, I always found it very interesting about the historical significance between Super Bowl V (1970 season and Super Bowl XII (1977 season).
Craig Morton was the Cowboys starting QB for Super Bowl V, and it still is the only Super Bowl in which the MVP was named from the losing team (Cowboys, Doomsday I, Chuck Howley).
Ironically, Craig Morton ended up being the starting QB for the Cowboys' opponent in Super Bowl XII, and it is still the only Super Bowl to have co-MVPs (Cowboys, Doomsday ll, Harvey Martin and Randy White).
The retirement of Starbach and Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters after 81 was huge
Very huge. The Defence was never the same.
I was born in 1971 and started watching football in Tony Dorsett’s rookie year. The impact he made on me can’t be overstated. Watching him run/glide up the middle was like poetry in motion. Yeah, I loved to see Tony Hill make an over the shoulder long catch, but that 33 up the middle still is the most excited I’ve ever been watching any athlete. When I did start playing football around 1979, it was just by chance that I got assigned number 33. I Still remember one of my teammates’ mom tossing me my gold jersey with green numbers and me just busting at the seams when I held it up and saw 33 with my name over it. To this day, 33 makes its way into my everyday life as any password I create always has 33 in it.
Had Roger stayed, we may have won another title or two as I know we win one or two of those NFC Championship games. Danny White was better than he ever gets credit for, however, he had a knack for throwing crucial interceptions and mainly for NOT being Roger the Dodger. I think had Roger played until 84 we at the LEAST win one more title if not 2 or 3.
You are a homer....love ur passion. Roger had concussions. No way he could play into his 40's. By 1984 he would have been 42. Maybe 1 more Super Bowl had he stayed. He was my favorite player. Made 100 greatest. Betr man than player. True Christian.
WE MITE HAVE SMH
That 1980 Eagle team that made he Superbowl was good. But, I think Dallas wins the NFC title game if Roger had stayed one more season. I think Dallas would have also beat the 1980 Raiders that represented the AFC with Staubach at the helm. The 1983 Raiders were one of the all-time great teams, but that 1980 squad was the weakest Oakland squad to ever make a Super Bowl appearance in my opinion.
Roger wouldn't have fumbled in SF.
I still don’t know how the hell the Niners beat Dallas in the 82 nfc championship with all the turnovers they made. When u make like 6or 7 turnovers, you have like a one percent chance of winning
Super Bowl 13 was devastating for the team and myself personally even though I have no affiliation I still think and wish that turned out different to this day as the Cowboys would have been the first to win three Super Bowls and then known as the team of the 70s... only thing I could think of changing NFL history moreso or a harder pill to swallow would have been the 2007 Patriots unbeaten team losing to a big Underdog in the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
Awesome video! I grew up on the Cowboys and I loved them as much as I did my own family. I would be very nervous before & during the game and if when they won I would have way too much energy and when they lost everyone knew to leave me alone for about a week. No one knows this but when we lost the 2 Super Bowls to the Steelers I went to my room and cried like a babyeach time. I never missed a second of there games and when they were on I could be found right in front of the TV with my football. My dad would constantly be yelling me to move out of the way so he could see the game and also for me throwing my football in the air during every play. I was just trying to help them win!
Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters were good enough to be Hall of Famers
Cliff Harris is in 2021
Great video.Interesting to hear the Doomsday players talk about their days on the Cowboys!
My brother and myself were devastated when Staubach retired. We were in our teens, it made no sense. When the issue of CTE came about it became clear. Roger suffered numerous concussions, and had the sense to get out while he could. As far as former players from any team, he is worth the most $400M. He made the right choice.
Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry, both were the coordinators with the Giants during the years that they were winning championships, Landry was the defensive specialist one of the best in the games history.
The 1977 Dallas Cowboys are clearly THE most underrated team in NFL history. They were the last team to lead the league in total offense AND defense as Doomsday II racked up 53 sacks in a 14 game schedule. This squad then went on to dominate the post-season by outscoring their opponents 87-23. One could argue that in the first 12 years of the Super Bowl Era, the 1977 Cowboys were the greatest NFL team of all-time.
Except in Pittsburgh in November.
True, but that was the Cowboys last loss of the 1977 season, and they went on to beat the Broncos in the last game of the regular season AND in Super Bowl 12. This was the same Broncos team that defeated the Steelers 34-21 in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.
Not even close - the 1972 Dolphins were better in every retrospect. They led the league in total offense and defense as well as most points scored and fewest points allowed. People can criticize their schedule all they want but look at it this way. When the 1972 season started, K.C., Min., and Bal x2, was a brutal schedule to have to face if you base it off their 1971 performance. Their schedule was soft which means they should win every game......and they did. What makes it worse, their 1973 team was even more devastating despite not leading on all categories. The 1977 Cowboys were not underrated. Everyone had them for the NFC that year since Minnesota was getting older and Los Angeles was in transition with Joe Namath. Most pegged Pittsburgh or Oakland initially but Pittsburgh's off season issues doomed them and Oakland wasn't bad, just Denver came along and didn't give up any points. Dallas was expected to win the NFC and when it was found to be Denver, no one gave the Broncos a chance to win.
@@1983jblack And in the 1971 season Dallas destroyed the Dolphins in SB VI. And it was about the same Dolphins team in 1972.
I was born in '67 so I was a kid during the great teams of the 70's. I'm a Texan so I loved the Cowboy's. I'm not sure which SB it was but I remember watching some pregame coverage and there was a segment titled The Cliff and Charlie Show. Does anyone else remember it ? If I had to guess it probably was one of the Pittsburgh v Dallas SB's but I can't be totally sure.
I will forever be grateful for being able to be present for a Dallas Cowboys vs Eagles championship game in the early 80s. I've always loved the Cowboys and 76-86 were the best years ever.
Tom Landry will forever be the best coach.
Cliff Harris 2020 pro football Hall Of Fame class
This was awesome! Loved every minute of it.
Roger Staubach is the only autograph i have ever gotten from a famous person. I have met MANY famous people. He was the only one i cared to get. Love Rodger the Dodger!!
Beautiful relation, that was the doomsday defense, The great test defense, I remember them, Thank you all of them. 👏 👏 👏 🤗 🤗
Boy this brings back great memories
Rolando as a young fan (fan of 50 years ) I connected to the players as if there was a personal connection with the players .. As of late I did/have with Dware, Jwit and #9.. As I get older and the generational gap widens not so much connection with players however the STAR on Silver I will always romanticize.
Ray Ramon Ramon I remember watching these games with my father. Which made me the COWBOYS fanatic I am today! Bleeding Silver and Blue for 40+ years!
Nice to see them all AGAIN
the 70's was the best in good teams, dolphins, steelers, raiders, broncos.cowboys, redskins, vikings teams that were good during the 70's. and there a couple more that were competitive.
Bradshaw (4), Staubach(4) Griese(3) Stabler(1) all was number 12, 9 Super Bowl Champs
‘77 and ‘92 my favorite Cowboys teams
“ There’s a price you have to pay for greatness”
Legends set the foundation for future legends. Great video!
Randy was my favorite player, but Bob Lily, man that hair! He didn't even get helmet head!
Remember Golden Richards?
I didnt know BoB Bruining sang and played the guitar. Cool!!
Hollywood was LT's idol. The Original 56. Go ask him.
Ed “To Tall” Jones should be in the Hall of Fame. The only good part about the NFL not paying generational wealth to players in the 1970s was that it allowed players like Henderson to step away to pursue dreams & then come back. Hollywood Henderson was a beast of an athlete & entertaining too.
In addition to Harvey Martin and Randy White, there is no question that Ed “Too Tall” Jones and Randy Hughes could have gotten a share of the MVP award in Super Bowl XII.
Bob Bruenig sure can sing and play the guitar
What a great time ! Congratulations Hollywood, glad you're still here.
They were monsters in Dallas
Bob Breunig is a pretty damn good musician and singer.
Charlie Watters and Cliff Harris....loved watching those guys...and was pissed off Randy Hughes career was cut short
I remember like it was yesterday:)
Interesting fact about the decline of Doomsday II. Cliff Harris and Charlie Waters never played a regular or postseason game together after SB XIII. Waters missed the entire 79 season with a knee injury and the Harris retired after the 1979 season.
When I was a kid watching the Cowboys his name always came up on the broadcast...he was just unloading
So many memories
DOOMSDAY STEEL CURTAIN SACK PACK THOSE WERE THE DAYS
DOOMSDAY WOULD NOT MAKE IT IN TODAYS GAME WHERE IF THE QB NOSE IS RUNNING AND DEFENSE DONT WIPE IT ITS 15 YARDS
The Dallas cowboys when tom landry was coach at10yrs old I be been hoocked ever since.im 50yrs old and still native sanfrancan but a die hard cowboys fan
I was fortunate to have met Randy White, and Bob Lilly and have my Pro Football Hall of Fame football signed by both. I also was at a autograph show where Ernie Stautner was signing and didn't want to spend the extra few dollars to get him to sign that football. I have truly regretted that since.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the error by Randy White around the 41:30 mark. Franco scored a TD midway thru the 4th quarter shortly after the controversial PI on Benny Barnes. During the ensuing kickoff White fumbled the ball. The next play Bradshaw hit Swann in the back of the end zone for the score that provided the final margin of victory.
Craig Pruitt-You're right because I picked up on that right away myself.
You're absolutely right. The Harris run was right before the fumbled return, and was only twenty-something yards. Considering Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns in a three play sequence, I don't really blame Randy for being a little dazed though. -.-
I would be willing to bet had white not fumbled that ball ,Dallas could ve won
There is a sequence of three or four plays in the third which doomed us. We were out playing them, they hadn't gained many yards in the second half and the call, the drop and the fumble as well as the ref blocking Charlie on the Franco run all work against us.
Harvey martin and ed jones deserve be in pro football hall of fame period and cowboys ring of honor
Dallas Cowboys ⭐🏈
Wow Randy hughs first time hearing this! Awesome!
Epic video 🙏🏽🎉🇺🇸❤️🙌🏼👍🏼
Randy White will always be my top favorite COWBOY.
The Greatest Dallas Cowboys Franchise Historical 💙 Team ever live. my beloved ♥ Dallas Cowboys 🇺🇸. forever.
and I will all aways be a America's Team fan .
Nobody enjoyed Dallas more than I did in the 60's and 70's! Nobody was more devastated than I was when Jerry Jones took over the destruction of Dallas!
I was upset too , however change is gonna happen, who else you gonna root for ? All teams have there bad points ! I’m a Cowboys fan forever
Doomsday had a great mentality. That's what all the greats had in both offense and defense had. That's a reason all the great players in NFL history are in the Hall of Fame, mentality. The mentality of the players of today is still there, it's just the NFL seems to be trying to mask it the best way they can.
My heroes have always been cowboys. They still are today
I became a cowboys fan during the 77 season, my favorite defensive player was too tall and randy white
IM SO HONORED TO HAVE DISCOVERED THIS TEAM IN 79, SWITCHING FROM VIKINGS, HAVE BLED BLUE EVER SINCE, THANK TO EVERYONE EVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ORGANIZATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Greatest Dallas Cowboys Franchise Historical Team ever to live
I love watching 70’s nfl and I love when defenses had names
Doomsday
Steel Curtain
Orange Crush
No Name
Gritz Blitz
Purple People Eaters
Redwood forest
Sack Pack
I wish that would come back
Hollywood Henderson said it all when he said the people who said the 70's weren't fun wasn't there. I loved growing up in the 70's....
Dallas Cowboys★
They would've WON the 3 consecutive NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES that they were in, in '80, '81 and '82 with Hollywood
Maybe! Yeah that was really bitter not to get at least get one of those Super Bowls really was! I blame Danny white ultimately he was like Romo. Good but not clutch. Staubach and Aikman were a different breed white and Romo were chokers!!!
We would have won the Superbowl 3 years in a row if Roger hadn't retired simple as that wouldn't even been close we would have beat the Raiders the Bengals and the Dolphins we didn't need Henderson we needed Rodger
I remember the 81 championship game we were in field goal range and Danny White fumbled the catch wouldn't even exist if Danny White hadn't fumbled we were in field goal range
@@forrestmarques7256 i wouldnt quite put white in the same sentence as tony romo.....white at least got to THREE nfc championship games....romo got to how many???
@@forrestmarques7256 I don’t know how the hell the Niners won that game with all the turnovers they made!
Man what a great team
Dallas Cowboys my team since they put the blue staron the helment
For Roger Staubach and Thomas Hollywood Henderson were their missing links in those 3 games
I loved them so much, I never saw the decline as it was happening. I saw them slowly retire and replace superb players with lesser players, but the uniform and the Stars n the helmet kept me mesmerized and thinking we were ALWAYS just barely out of it. I made every excuse there was. I rationalized but realized the front office was no longer finding and coming up with phenomenal performers. The FLEX got old and predictable. I saw it, but wouldn't admit it. I never accepted the actual slow decline until they unceremoniously fired and retired the GREAT Tom Landry. Beautiful outro here with beloved Bob Bruneg (Mr. Not Lee Roy Jordan) singing and playing.
How the hell is Waters still so youthful and handsome!!!
I was in my #10 Grade of High School 🏫, and the best 👌 of times of 1970's .

Thank you, Dallas Cowboys my team forever.
I Love all of Y"all. The very best 👌.
1977 Dallas Cowboys it's absolutely 💯 no better than this.
Wooow!
Herb Aderly came to the Cowboys from the Packers in 1970 and Lance Alworth came to the Cowboys from the Chargers in 1971 to help Dallas win Super Bowl 6 over the Miami Dolphins in the 1971-72 season. Tom Landry also had some truly great assistant coaches in the 1970s; Erie Stautner, Dan Reeves, Mike Ditka and Gene Stallings.
Five Super Bowls in 10 years, 2 Super Bowl titles by a combined score of 51-13, and 3 Super Bowl losses by a combined 11 points. The Cowboys also won more games than any team in the 1970's, and the 1977 Cowboys team are clearly THE most underrated team in NFL history. They were the last team to lead the league in total offense AND defense as Doomsday II racked up 53 sacks in a 14 game schedule. This squad then went on to dominate the post-season by outscoring their opponents 87-23. One could argue that in the first 12 years of the Super Bowl Era, the 1977 Cowboys were the greatest NFL team of all-time.
Hmmmm good points. 1993 i believe to be their best....at least of the final 3. 78 team was unreal as well. I still believe they were betr team in SB 13. Pitt got the break (s)....many of them.
The 1977 Cowboys, everything went.right that year
@@michaelleroy9281 The 1975 Dirty Dozen draft helped the 1977 Cowboys to overcome some issues that could have derailed their Super Bowl winning run. For example, Hall of Fame RT Rayfield Wright suffered a knee injury prior to the 77 season, but Pat Donavan filled in beautifully for Wright. Thomas Henderson did the same on the defensive side of the ball, turning the Cowboy's LB corps from an aging/slow group to a young/fast group of linebackers.
The " flex" defense was the best in the NFL.
Staubach is my favorite player ever
Doomsday Defense. 2. Was a Awesome. Team R, White. Ed Two Jones. Harvey Martin. And others Great Players
Denver was 8 of 25 passing, not Morton. Morton was 4 of 15. Denver also used Norris Weese and Craig Penrose.
Why am I just seeing this video
Harris and Waters the best safety tandem around. My opinion though.
Mike Ditka walking out of locker room at 07:22.
Landry is one of the major motivators of Kellen Moore, who shows that respect for that innovator.
DEEP...AZUL!!!💪👊😎
I'm wondering whether Harvey Martin ever had a sack where the quarterback wasn't absolutely annihilated !!!
He looked like he was out of murder every time he hit one
Every man in the video are HOF to me.....ring of honor as well. Waters, DD Lewis played in all 5 superbowls under Landry. Breunig Hegman, Henderson Randy and Too tall 3 or 4. Martin as well. Cliff Harris there as well. Rayfield Wright, Cliff Harris, Roger Staubach, Randy White, Mel Renfro, Tony Dorsett and Drew Pearson all got Gold Jackets from those years. Other ones that should at least been ring of honor include all of them plus Danny White, Tom Rafferty, Ralph Neely, Robert Newhouse, Billy Joe DuPree, Pat Donovan, Preston Pearson, Golden Richards, Jethro Pugh, Randy Hughes, and John Fitzgerald. Dallas 77 might be the best team ever in the history of the NFL!
