Where would this rank in your history of watching the team and why?

Behind the 90s Super Bowls for sure...

Behind the 1992 NFC Championship Game.

Probably not behind much else.

I started watching them in 75. The wins over the Rams in the NFC Championship games in 75 and 78 were pretty huge. Both were games we were kinda expected to lose, and we blew them out in Los Angeles both times. 78 we had lost to them early in the season and we didnt play all that great vs Atlanta the week before in the playoffs. Of course there's the SB win vs Denver. The games you mention above I agree with, those were amazing, especially the 1992 game vs SF.

A lot of people's perceptions (media and fans) of Romo will change if we win this weekend. Would be a career defining type of win IMO.

All I really remember of the Cowboys before Troy Aikman was drafted was that we had Danny White, Herschel Walker and we were terrible. I was 9 when we drafted Aikman.

I remember Steve Pelluer too for some reason...

I don't know about this Sunday, but I'll take it a few steps further, if this team wins the Super Bowl, it would instantly rank as the #1 SB win other the 4 I will have witnessed.

Romo hoisting the trophy and shoving it up his critics' collective asshole's
, no contest.

the original Colt McCoy. not old enough to remember him throwing five picks vs the Raiders? i envy you.
I thought he was a Texas guy, but I went and looked him up and it said Washington... what am I missing?

Yeah he was a UW guy, Don James loved him.

He was also pretty big and had a good arm, and he was considered an exceptional athlete for a QB at the time.

Oh, there have been several seasons better than this one. The first Landry Super Bowl win was huge ... bigger than a Super Bowl win would be this year.

This year's team reminds me most of the 1975 team (the team that lost Super Bowl X). The success that year was wonderfully unexpected, much like the current success. The 1975 team was more fun to watch, though, because Landry's creativity on offense was on full display. Landry was at his peak -- so innovative.

Jimmy's Super Bowl teams were far more dominant than this year's is capable of being. And because they were so dominant, I think those two Jimmy teams were more fun to watch than the current team.

Oh no doubt this team isn't as good as our previous SB Champ teams, they are nowhere near as good defensively.

I just meant where would a potential win over Green Bay itself rank with other important Cowboy wins you could remember.

A win vs Green Bay would be the Cowboy's biggest win since Switzer's "we did it our way, baby" Super Bowl win.

Look further back than the mid-90's, though, and the competition is very tough.
