re: This has been happening for 44 years

It doesn't change ONE SYLLABLE of what you said, but it DESTROYS the narrative that we waltzed down the yellow brick road that year. After 2 close home games, we had to likewise go win 2 tough road games (it's called catlanta for a reason). So while the first 2 home games were a springboard, we still had a very tough road to make it to Dallas that year.
