Had we gone in undefeated, we definitely would have won that game.

IMO, we were the biggest threat to the Dolphins 16-0 season along with the 85 Bears.

A 1-15 Dallas team spoiled it for us.

Dallas was a playoff team last year. They lost in the divisonal round like 33-6 to Detroit who we beat in the NFC title game. The Cowboys were 1-15 in either 89 or 90...but yes that one win was against us.

It was in '89 I remember that game, Ed "Too Tall" Jones batted down a desperation pass on the final drive that would have given the lead back to the Redskins.
It was also Jimmy Johnson's first year as a head coach and some conspiracy theorists speculate that he tanked the season on purpose to get the #1 draft pick to go along with the truckload he had already gotten for Herschel Walker.

Finally watched it tonight (had it TIVO'd) man talk about memories. Art Monk and "the Posse", Wilbur Marshall, Charles Mann and the "National Defense". That was fun to watch.
