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.

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.

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

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.

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

Roger Staubach.👍

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?

SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE

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.

There both sorely missed

Doomsday enough said

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 .

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

Very huge. The Defence was never the same.

Tom Landry was the Cowboys.

@@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.

Cliff Harris is in 2021

Harvey Martin Everson Walls Nate Newton

Cliff Harris, Charlie Waters & Harvey Martin also.

Charlie Waters & Cliff Harris being in the hall of fame

Cornell Green as well

@@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.

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

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.

Remember Golden Richards?

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!

Bradshaw (4), Staubach(4) Griese(3) Stabler(1) all was number 12, 9 Super Bowl Champs

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 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

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.

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!

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.

He looked like he was out of murder every time he hit one

😳

Charlie waters said he felt so sorry for Craig, he almost wanted to go over and hug him
