In the 43 years since their first playoff appearance, Dallas has had many great moments but also some agonizing setbacks. Which was the hardest one to accept? I ask this because I see playoff losses as being defined several ways. One is the breakdown between heartbreaking close defeats or dismal efforts where one's team is routed, embarrassed, humiliated, etc. For Dallas, the former would include the two losses to the Packers in 1966 and 1967, the SB losses to Pittsburgh (1975 and 1978) and the Catch by Dwight Clark from Montana (1981). The latter category includes one-sided losses to equal opponents (Washington, 26-3 in 1972) or inferior ones (Cleveland Browns, 38-14 in 1969, Cardinals, 20-7 in 1998, Rams, 20-0 in 1985).
