Hot Takes Welcome (Post Falcons Win)
Some serious history in the two previous posts for the young'uns to make note of :)
Some extra nuggets to contribute:
Roberts' first game in '70 was the game when Dempsey kicked the 63-yard field goal that was the franchise's defining play for the next 30 years.
And the poster's family isn't the first to tell him Stram was on his way to building a winner once Archie's shoulder was fully recovered. (He missed the entire '76 season and played in only a handful of games in '77). I've read that Mecom felt Stram was spending too much money on ancillary stuff and Stram didn't think too highly of the team's FO at the time. Made for friction there. As head coach, Nolan tried to install the "flex" defense that the Landry-era Cowboys used to run. Trouble was, he didn't have the roster Landry had in Dallas.
