Roger staubach was captain comeback. he won games puling out wins in the last minute, but for some reason he had a hard time doing that with the Rams in both 76 and 79
The point where Cole stopped Riggins, with Facenda "and primed the greatest comeback in Dallas Cowboy" history - the way he said that line almost brings me to tears
All I know is that for years and years, almost any team that played the Cowboys was the Underdog. Those in that organization just knew what they were doing. They planned well in all areas. I've come to really appreciate how great Dorsett was as a runner. I remember seeing fullback, Newhouse, playing for Houston in The Bluebonnett Bowl. Thought then, that he'd be a great pro runner. This was Staubach's last year. He had gotten a couple of serious concussions in the previous two years.
How in the world against the Rams with 2 minutes left in the game that roger staubach couldnt get the cowboys into field goal range to win the game is still mindboggling to me after all these years
12:43 two great players greeting one another. Jack Youngblood-on a broken leg-would effectively pursue Roger Staubach during the divisional round (Staubach's career finale).
John Facanda I spelled that wrong but his voice is always will be the best there was RIP . When he said the frozen trunda in Green Bay speaks for itself
I didn't like the deceptive "come from behind" clips from the Cleveland game. I was there. Dallas fell behind 20-0 in the first quarter and lost 26-7. There wasn't anything close to comeback, as much as young me wanted one.
This was the season when Tom Landry had finally had it with Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson. He got cut the week after the Cowboys played the Redskins (Sunday November 18). Such an extremely talented and very well-built physical specimen, but drugs, women, and partying killed his career.
@G.R.X. Racer-1 if the Steelers would have made it to the Superbowl we would have really found out, but they didn't! And by your logic in 75 the Rams in the Bills owned the Steelers, in 78 the Rams owned the Steelers, and in 79 the Eagles and Chargers owned the Steelers!
@@topJimmyP1984 Rams owned the Steelers in 70s. Steelers had never beaten Rams until Superbowl-14. Ever! 31-19. Even then because of 2 Ram blunders. Last NFC team to defeat Steelers before 49ers at Pittsburgh 1981 17-14. Rams 1971. Bills never owned Steelers! Steelers owned Cowboys up until first Monday night game 1982. 36-28. At Dallas. A game which was not even that close. Steelers clobbered them. Dallas's first opening game loss. Terry Bradshaw did it again.
Context need be applied ,the Steelers mid 1975 championship teams lost to the rams was a late season lose in which the Steelers had already captured home field advantage throughout the post season ,the game essentially didn't matter in terms of significant impact for the Steelers. The rams still barely won the final regular season contest,10-3. The Pittsburgh Steelers in 1978 possesed their conference best record in the week 11 matchup vs Rams ,who were in a dog fight with the cowboys for #1 home field advantage in NFC , and once again,in a situation the moment meant more to the rams ,they barely won 10-7 .The Steelers who were leading their division by 3 games over the nearest foe oilers ,awaiting a rematch against those oilers ,at the astrodome,who defeated them at Pittsburgh. The Steelers certainly would have benefitted from a victory over the rams ,but it wasn't a must need win situation for them ,like it was for the rams ,a contest the rams,once again barely won 10-7 . If the Steelers were fully psychologically invested in beating the rams in 75and 78 ,they would have captured those wins ,much like their 1978 final regular season game at Mike High stadium vs the broncos ,who had eliminated them and the previous years post season.The Steelers players , especially mean Joe Greene admitted,that contest ,which was from a record or conference seeding standpoint was meaningless to the Steelers,but it was imperative for them.personally to beat those broncos ,who coincidentally they would play in the division round two weeks later at Pittsburgh. Several of the Steelers starters didn't participate in this contest ,or played sparingly,after the Steelers raced out to a commanding lead ,the broncos.rallied ,on the last play of the contest ,inthe Steelers goal line ,mean Joe Greene checked himself into the contest ,without head coach Chuck Noll's consent ,and helped the Steelers stone wall the broncos rushing attempt ,to win the contest . If the Steelers had the identical mindset vs the 75,78 rams ,same Steelers who captured the SB 's in 75 and 78 truly wanted to beat those talented rams ,they would have .They weren't completely focused on those games , and stil almost won .The rams best performance in SB 14 still led to a double digits loss .I'm not discounting the emmense talent those mid to late 70's rams unquestionably harbored ,not attempting to berate them nonobjectively by any means ,they were a certified SB contender for years during the 70's ,but,once again,if the Steelers were 100 % truly psychologically engaged towards beating them ,they would have . They beat em in SB 14,literally in the rams home state ,because this time ,they were devoted towards that daunting task .
The Cowboys sure lost some legends for good (Roger Staubach, Rayfield Wright, and Cliff Harris) after the game clock reached triple zeroes in their 21-19 Divisional Playoff loss to the LA Rams on December 30, 1979. Three Hall of Famers lost that would more than a decade (individually) to replace. The Cowboys didn't have a right tackle nowhere near the caliber of Wright until Nate Newton became entrenched as a starter in the early 1990s. The Cowboys didn't have a Super Bowl winning QB until 1992 with Troy Aikman. And Cliff Harris, more talented Cowboys free safeties than him have come along since he retired after he '79 season, but none of them had as much of an impact on the Cowboys or the NFL like Harris did. I don't want to hear about Darren Woodson because he played strong not free safety (Harris's position). And I think Roy Williams could have been a better free safety than Harris if he strictly dedicated himself to or was allowed to play just free safety (was a full-time free safety from 2002 to 2004 then he was moved to strong safety full-time from 2005 to 2008). But the Cowboys wanted Williams to be a run defender, nearer to the line of scrimmage, pass defender, occasional blitzer, to take advantage of his athleticism and field range, and be a big hitter or enforcer for their defense.
I'm a steelers fan ,and I agree ,Harvey Martin was a elite player,I'm usually not a proponent of stating a player should be in the Hof ,too many fans with irrational emotional attachment towards a team or player scream this constantly ,most are completely wrong ,but not in this case of deserved Hof induction. RIP Harvey Martin. 🎉

Agree. But he dominated them in 75 and 78.
@@legaldealers2300 yes but for some reason he had a hard time with the Rams at home in Dallas
@@legaldealers2300 cowboys played much better in los angeles than they did against them at home
between 1975 and 79 the road team won in the playoffs between the cowboys and Rams

Rams Defense
@bobbypadilla4641 doesnt matter, 2 minutes left and only needing a field goal with roger staubach and the cowboys offense
Roger was playing with a concussion I believe
I remember that Redskins game and I also remember The Rams kicking our ass in the playoffs
Not really an ass kicking 21-19
Facenda and the Cowboys...oh wow, unbeatable combo!
Love it! Thank you, thank you.
America's Team!
70s Cowboys and Roger, the Best!!!

They did live on the edge this season
Cut 'Hollywood' Henderson midway through the season
only to die on the edge when they lost to the Rams in the Divisional Playoff Round
Losing Hollywood Henderson hurt their defense.
Roger Staubach final season
Same for Cliff Harris and Rayfield Wright.
Love watching Tony D run !!
Rogers last season Landry had built him a great team the old school way Danny White was like Dandy Don he just couldn't get it done
I didn't like the deceptive "come from behind" clips from the Cleveland game. I was there. Dallas fell behind 20-0 in the first quarter and lost 26-7. There wasn't anything close to comeback, as much as young me wanted one.
No Charlie Waters that year :(
He tore up a knee in a preseason game in Seattle
Too Tall Jones sat out the season but he would be back
This was the season when Tom Landry had finally had it with Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson. He got cut the week after the Cowboys played the Redskins (Sunday November 18). Such an extremely talented and very well-built physical specimen, but drugs, women, and partying killed his career.
The climax of the season was the finale against the Washington Redskins. Dallas won 35-34.
Best and last regular season game of the decade
Disappointing season after the way it started, thought we were going back to the SB to win it!
Steelers owned Cowboys even in 1977.
