The good thing is that the Walker trade was starting to pay off by getting Emmitt Smith and then later on using it to get Alvin Harper. The Cowboys were 1 win away from making the playoffs. If they had beaten the Falcons that last game they would have gone to the playoffs. That's why Jimmy got Steve Beuerlein the next year as a good backup compared to the crap in Babe Lauffenberg. Either way this was a good sign and each year we improved.

Plus they added Norv Turner at offensive coordinator. He was a great coach on offense and actually better at head coach than some people gave him credit for. I'm from Miami too and a big Jimmy Johnson fan from the hurricanes. Dallas had it all in those years. Its just a shame that JJ and Jerry Jones couldn't see eye to eye on giving him more control of the team . I was disappointed when Jimmy left the Dolphins later on after the Jacksonville demolishing, where Marino and the entire team had a hexx put on the from Murphys law on that game, was really strange but I heard that Johnson's dad died before that game so it was just a fluke, ( in my belief )but he still resigned.

Team turnaround Jimmy Johnson was coach of the year for a team that went 7-9 they were in the hunt for the playoffs until the last 2 games

all they had to do was win ONE GAME and sadly it didn't happen. Aikman got hurt and their backup Babe Lauffenberg just sucked. What made Jimmy a great coach was that the next year he went out and got Steve Beuerlein who was a million times better than Babe and got us to the playoffs. So when we were 6-5 against the Redskins the next year, having a great back up got use to win out and get into the playoffs at 11-5.

Look at all those empty seats at Texas Stadium for the first game with the Chargers

That game almost got blacked out locally. A local radio station stepped in and bought a huge block of tickets to keep that from happening.

I thought it was odd they faced the Buccaneers twice in 1990. It was good that they did two wins but I wonder why.

Two worst records in the league the previous year. The NFL had a policy to pair up teams like that to help bring parity to the league. Fortunately the Cowboys were on the way up while the Bucs were on the way to nowhere.

Guy Guys is offensive, my opinion. Why not say MAN MEN. But I am one out of millions. And most don't listen, it is just noise. 6-15-2022
