Love my '77 Cowboys, but they didn't exactly have to overcome a murderer's row of QBs in the post-season (Avellini, Lee, Morton).
Though 78 lost the Super Bowl, was their set of opposing playoff quarterbacks better?
Also how about 71?
At least they faced a future HOFer in both of those Super Bowls.

Also, in the case of 77, Craig Morton is no Hall of Famer, but they would've conversely faced a pretty darn good defense in the Orange Crush.
