Good Grief. Ok, over the last 20 seasons, 1989 through Week 14 of 2008, the Packers' regular season record is 186-132 while the Cowboys' regular season record is 173-145.
As for the 70s and 80s, the Cowboys did go to the playoffs year after year, but the Dynasty teams of the 70s and 80s were the Steelers and 49ers, not the Cowboys.
And yes, I was a Don Majkowski fan. He wore the green and gold. He was a pretty good QB for a few years. He was part of one of the most memorable games in Packers' history with the "Replay Game" against the Bears in 1989. But you can't be cracking on Majkowski when Ryan Leaf wore the Cowboys blue, can you?
Besides, you should give the Packers HUGE love for the Cowboys winning those Super Bowls in the 90s. In 1988, the Packers won the final game of the season on the road against the Phoenix Cardinals. If the Packers had lost that game, they would have finished 3-13 and had the first pick in the 1989 Draft as they would have "lost" the tiebreaker over the Cowboys (who also finished 3-13) to be the No. 1 pick. The Packers would have taken Troy Aikman No. 1. With that one forgotten win in a meaningless game in December 1988, the Green Bay Packers changed NFL History for the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaking of changing NFL History, if Troy Aikman had been drafted by Green Bay, perhaps Ron Wolfe would not have been hired as the Packers GM in 1991 and he would have stayed with the Jets, and maybe the Jets would have traded for Brett Favre instead. It is ironic that the Jets finally get Brett Favre this year when they probably would have had him in 1992 if only the lowly Green Bay Packers would have lost that Cardinals game.
