Oh c'mon...it was pretty damn close, remember the 1-15 first season, which allowed us to get HOF'r Aikman...You can't compare the two owners as Bob hasn't won anything...Don't forget, the Cowboys released AB to begin with... I will say this, no matter how much b*tchin' we all do, the Texans have done pretty good, considering starting from scratch...I'm pretty syked about this season for both teams...
actually they've got the worst record of any expansion team through the first 5 seasons, as i understand it. having said that....GO TEXANS!
Wrong...guess who does though? Dallas Cowboys: 1960 0 11 1 7th West 1961 4 9 1 6th East 1962 5 8 1 5th East 1963 4 10 0 5th East 1964 5 8 1 5th East 18-56-4
I've read that scouts have said that the '89 team was one of the least talented teams they had ever seen in the NFL. To take that and win two Super Bowl in the next four years is freakin' amazing.
haha now all the texans have to do is have 20 consecutive winning seasons and then the franchises will be running parallel! http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dalindex.htm 1985 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-6-0 1984 NFL Dallas Cowboys 9-7-0 1983 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-4-0 1982 NFL Dallas Cowboys 6-3-0 1981 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-4-0 1980 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-4-0 1979 NFL Dallas Cowboys 11-5-0 1978 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-4-0 1977 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-2-0 1976 NFL Dallas Cowboys 11-3-0 1975 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-4-0 1974 NFL Dallas Cowboys 8-6-0 1973 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-4-0 1972 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-4-0 1971 NFL Dallas Cowboys 11-3-0 1970 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-4-0 1969 NFL Dallas Cowboys 11-2-1 1968 NFL Dallas Cowboys 12-2-0 1967 NFL Dallas Cowboys 9-5-0 1966 NFL Dallas Cowboys 10-3-1
I've never questioned the incredible legacy the Cowboys have built. It'd be no fun to hate them if they sucked. For example, the Orioles spend crazy money, but nobody hates them. Because they suck. It's much more rewarding, in a sadistic kind of way, to hate the Yankees. At least I admit it. Truth be told though, the Cowboys were a solid "2nd favorite" of mine behind my Oilers until Jones rolled in, ran Landry out the way he did, and started bringing in thugs. The day Jones showed up on Landry's golf course, with Jimmy Johnson in tow, and fired him on the spot--that's the day I started hating the Cowboys. And the day Jones sells them might be the day I relent (as if my petty whims had any impact whatsoever).
Let me hedge on that in this respect: first of all I meant "showed up on the golf course at which Landry was playing." Second of all, I have to admit this is total hearsay from years ago, I don't even remember the source, and I wonder how much of it is accurate. Those who are enlightened, please provide accurate information (as I'm sure you would have anyway).
