For instance the arctic cowboys uniforms they just showed off. I would like to see a reverse color scheme uniform too. Navy blue helmet, navy blue pants, silver or gray jersey. Just the throwbacks and a once or twice a year alternate would be cool.

Don’t forget Sam Hurd! As much as people talk about Brady’s ability to make stars out of nobodies, Romo had that same ability to make guys like them look amazing, only for them to go to other teams and fail to produce. The one that stands out to me is Laurent Robinson 2011. He was a star on that team, leading all Dallas receivers with 11 TDs. Then he went to Jacksonville the next year and we never heard from him again. Which isn’t to diminish Robinson (he was a good player and I wish Dallas could have kept him a little longer, plus he went to Jacksonville, where careers go to die. See also: Lawrence, Trevor), but Romo could just make average or even above average guys look like world beaters.

Miles Austin was already emerging before this game as he had some great plays in the first few games, but this, this was the one that made him famous to not just Cowboys fans, but to the whole league. The Romo to Austin connection was simply unstoppable that year. 2009 really looked like it was going to be the Cowboys’ year. With TO gone, the offense was finally starting to find itself again with a new superstar WR, Romo looked like a much more confident and mature QB, throwing only 10 Ints all year. The defense came on late in the year, posting back to back shutouts in the final weeks against division rivals. They beat the Eagles 3 times, who used to dominate Dallas in the 2000s. They beat the 13-0 Saints in their house. Everything looked set up perfectly for them. Then the divisional round happened. Ugh...well the end was the disappointing, but the ride was magical.

I remember this like it was yesterday, this is no lie, I drafted Miles Austin accidentally with my last pick in FF that year. I went to scroll through receivers to take a flyer on but as soon as my pick came my cpu started freezing up, I just started hitting buttons but since it was alphabetically it was queued up on him and I accidentally picked him. Anyway I was going to immediately drop him but I thought what the hell maybe it was an omen and held onto him. I kept holding onto him throughout the year all the while my friends mocked me for it and finally I said screw it and threw in the towel and dropped him. The very next game this happened and he immediately got claimed off waivers. I hoped it was just going to be a fluke game but he ended up putting up a bunch of great games after that. My friends and I still talk about the whole situation to this day.

Man seeing this game brings back so many memories. Miles was an animal back in his prime, Marion the Barbarian was the stuff of legends & oh how I miss DeMarcus Ware. Even Anthony Spencer was a beast too! I look back at this & it reminds me of how much talent we had on those teams. One that always gets me is Tashard Choice, dude had so much potential.

@theextramuscle3796 2 жыл бұрын

Barber went downhill at this point and I think it was his last year. Austin was always injured. Spencer was solid. Ware was great, the rest of the defense was inconsistent, and after 2009 was just bad. This team had tip top talent like Romo, Ware, Witten, T.O., and when healthy Austin, a couple solid ones like barber, Spencer. But alot of trash players, that oline was just horrendous. Romo got sacked like 6 times and hit 16+ and had like 10+ broken tackles against vikings in playoffs. Running for his life, and the rest of the team played like trash.

Injuries and drops, that’s what did him in. He was never the same guy once his hamstring started getting to him. 2009 turned out to be the peak of his career. It’s sad but at least he did have his moment in the spotlight. We’ll always have the memories. Put it into perspective, you know how Dallas has Lamb, Cooper, and Gallup today and it’s considered a virtually unstoppable receiving corps? Well in the late 2000s / early 2010s, it was supposed to be Dez Bryant, Austin, and Roy Williams. Dallas was supposed to score 40 points every week in their sleep. Only problem was two of those guys didn’t work out haha
