First regular season game in Cowboys history.

"Regarding those already in a Hall of Fame: We'll also have to discuss whether Flutie or anyone else who is in the Canadian HOF is eligible (in Flutie's case, when his 25 years is up). I would think such a person is not eligible for the HOVG. As the (a) Hall of Fame is greater than the Hall of...

Emlen Tunnell is listed as a SS by PFR - his pick numbers are off the charts for a SS and I'm not sure if he really played SS or FS or simply covered half the field. Perhaps someone else knows? Tunnell left safety, generally, though played some CB (called defensive HB at the time, as you know). Gia...

In all honesty, and I'm guessing that there are others on this forum who feel the same way, the fact whether MLB recognizes Negro League stats or the NFL recognizes AAFC doesn't change my opinion about the quality of the Negro Leagues or the AAFC.

Plus they had an incredible list of names on that coaching staff. Green Bay just flat out couldn't beat the Cowboys. Period. Especially at Dallas.

Anderson usually covered the tight end, back or receiver if the cornerback reacted to the flat, or short pass. Not many strong safeties have three seasons with eight interceptions but Anderson did, as well as make big hits. He was DROY in the AFL and like John said, DPOY. No doubt had he not been i...

I'm not quite old enough to remember either Anderson or Scott that well. But I do think it's important to bring up that Anderson played SS, Scott played FS. Anderson, he had 8 ints as a SS one year and Scott had 4. Usually that's flipped - FS has many more. Anderson had another year with 8 picks. Th...

Those Cowboy teams were pretty complete, IMO. Aikman was great - great leader, tough, very accurate, played his best in the biggest games, and extremely poised. Awesome offensive line, Emmitt who was excellent, Darryl Johnston who was an outstanding blocking back and Jay Novacek, who was as huge par...
