1976 Dallas Cowboys

[@normlee6566]

I remember watching the rams game. As frustrating a game as i have ever seen. But it also prompted Schramm to trade three second round picks (who nowadays has three second round picks in one draft) to Seattle for the number two overall pick, Tony Dorsett, who finally gave Dallas a ground threat and balanced out its offense, which led to a super bowl title in 1977.

Great Upload of a team that was always one step of the Houston Oilers.

The year I became a Cowboys fan

[@jdsoultrn]

1st game in 76’ @ New Orleans would be the final destination for the 77’ season ending in a World Championship!

[@classicsports5057]

First game was against Philadelphia but I could only find footage of the TD to Drew Pearson from that game.

[@michaelleroy9281]

@@classicsports5057 The Cowboys beat the Eagles in the first game 27-7

The Dallas Seattle game was my very first NFL game in person. I was a Dallas cowboy fan, but being from the state of Washington, I had to root a little bit for the Seahawks. I will never forget seeing Roger Staubach and Tom Landry in person for the first time.I’d liked the Cowboys since 1966 when I was 10 years old and I will never forget that game.

[@chris08197]

I could have sworn the first game in '76 was against the Eagles....I distinctly remember watching that game. Maybe the footage just wasn't included here.

1st game 1976 was Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys - September 12th, 1976 27-7 Dallas

Red, white, and blue striped helmets, gotta love it!

[@MatthewBaumgarten]

I wanted to see an Oakland Raiders versus the Dallas Cowboys in the Superbowl so bad and it almost happened 4 times during the 1970’s because both teams were really good and had the same head coach but it just never happened and I felt then and still feel the same way that was a shame

[@sha9infinite450]

I know Denver fans won’t like this. Oakland or Pittsburg matched up way better against Dallas in 1977. That year Pittsburg beat Dallas in the regular season and Oakland was Oakland. Denver was good that season and played well throughout the year. I used to want to see Drew Pearson go over the middle against Jack Tatum and George Atkinson lol. Just one time lol. And their arrogance. I remember them spiking balls on people, making gestures, shoving balls in player’s faces and when someone did that to them, they didn’t like it. However they treaded lightly with that crap against the Steelers. The talent and aggression was on even terms and slightly better. Oakland and Pittsburgh played aggressive ball in fact the AFC at that time was more competitive to me. Dallas had their way with that mediocre NFC Central and West. Rams and Vikings, that’s it. And the East with a occasional offensive explosion from St. Louis; was not much better.

The end to this great season was a big disappointment...

[@johnmanier7968]

The offense was far less productive in the second half of the season, after Staubach injured his pinky against the Bears.

[@michaelleroy9281]

i like the 1976 only cowboy's helmets

Blew a playoff game against the Rams at home, but not unexpected having lost to the Redskins at home the week earlier. Started the season 9-1 and ended 11-3.

[@stardaddyo9]

The playoffs loss to the Rams was ridiculous

[@yucansuckadee8930]

Thank you. Damn! Look at his arms! These games too rough.😫 But I love Landry and Staughbach dynamic.

[@SGBassplayer]

That loss to the Falcons, tho 😁😁😁

[@Paranormalisto]

Esposito chucked that ball right over my head.

[@frankieclayton9303]

They are so hungry for!!

[@michaelleroy9281]

The number one offense with no running game still 11 -3

[@sportshistorybuff319]

Robert Newhouse, Doug Dennison, Charles Young, Scott Laidlaw and Preston Pearson were all solid or good utility backs giving the team ground yards by committee, but none were breakaway threats. The difference was the sliver the Rams wormed through in the playoff game, as Staubach's broken digit reduced their passing attack.

[@michaelleroy9281]

They left out the last game of the year 27-14 loss to the Redskins

[@The2ndFirst]

Good to see Jimmy McGinty before he coached the Washington replacements.

[@texasstadium]

The pass to Dupree toward the end of the game was a notoriously bad spot and sore spot with the Cowboys and fans. It was easily a first down.

[@scottmitchell3641]

18:06 Dallas defensive end Too Tall Jones towers over the Atlanta quarterback and blots out the sun as he makes the sack.

[@scottmitchell3641]

Deep into the 1976 NFL season both Dallas and Oakland had 9-1-0 records. Too bad the Cowboys didn't quite make it to Super Bowl XI to meet the Raiders.
