What are your Top 5 memorable Plays this year?

[Maikeru-sama]

Here is mine...


5. Terrell Owens being injured by Roy Williams.


4. Keyshawn Johnson's one hand touchdown grab in the back of the endzone in the Seattle game (I beleive this is the catch that later the NFL would say should not have been). Regardless, one of the sweetest catches I have ever seen.


3. Patrick Crayton's touchdown catch against the Redskins (A game I attended).


2. Richie Anderson knocking the ball out of Vinny's hand while trying to pick up a blitz in the Pittsburgh game.


1. Donovan McNabb's seemingly endless scramble and pass to Fredie Mitchell for 60+ yards (a game I attended and unfortunately was surrounded by Eagles Fans).

those 2 choices are sick and would never have made my list.

1. Ritchie's halfback pass to beat the Skins.

2. VT to Crayton to beat the Skins once again.

3. Julius Jones vs Seattle the game winning run.

Sick?

Memorable doesn't just mean SUCCESSFUL plays the Cowboys made. Memorable can also mean plays that had a major impact on a game or the league in general (Ex:The Owens injury, although it was very unfortunate had very high impact on the NFC and maybe the NFL in general).

The Ritchie play is one of the plays that sums up this entire season in a nutshell. We cold have beaten a team that went 15-1 and after that lost we never SNIFFED .500 again.

And regardless what you think and how unfortunate it is, the Mcnabb play will
be talked about for years. I was at the game, and that was simply and amazing play....

you said memorable plays, so under that guideline, i wouldve chose to forget those particular plays, thats like bringing up "The Catch" btw that pass McNabb made to Mitchell, wasnt the score already out of hand? i dont see how that play will be talked about for a long long time?

[WV Cowboy]

Pick the top five runs by Julius Jones and they were the only memorable things from this season that I ever need to think about again.

I love Julius Jones.

I know this is top 5 plays but I'm recalling moments that defined the season.


5. Crayton's TD catch


4. Onterrio Smith's TD catch in the Vikings game.

-let me know this would be a long season and made me wonder if Parcells was right about replacing our linebackers. How come they still aren't comfortable in their roles?


3.Keyshawn's catch out of bounds in the same game (Vikings) where he got flipped.

-let me know he was still a great player who would be willing to sell himself out for the betterment of the team. I wasn't sure about him until then.


2. Giants game #1

-this game knocked the wind out of this team...I'll give you a whole lot of reasons.

4 and 1 on the goal line.
Larry Allen's blown block had Eddie Blown up in the backfield when the Cowboys could have taken a commanding lead.

the "running into the kicker penalty" on Keith Davis
This play was wrong on so many levels. It allowed the 50+ yard gain by Tiki Barber on what I believe to be the very next play. Wiley overpursued on the run to the opposite side. Something I also noticed in the preseason on the play when Roy got stiffarmed by Chris Brown in the Titans game. Wiley would continue to do this all year. (one of the worst free agent moves ever by the way) Plus, the fake calls on Nguyen and Ellis that extended the drive. Both were personal fouls that didn't really happen.

Witten's fumble before the half
killed the momentum that was gained back and canceled a scoring opp.

bad play call on 4th and short
backfield pass to Barnes well short of the 1st down marker and hinted desperation. It wasn't really that necessary and the fact that it failed turned out to be symbolic.

This game killed the teams confidence this year. Oh yeah we also found out in this game that we could not run the ball at all. Which brings me to the #1 defining moment/play...


1. Julius Jones' performance on Thanksgiving

most notably the 33 yrd touchdown run. Showed the team (well some members of the team) there was still something to play for.


p.s. the 2nd Eagles game showed which players we should keep and cut.

(sorry for the long post)

Well if we are going with "defining moments" instead of memorable ones, ... the fumble at the end of the Steelers game showed that we were very capable of making mistakes late in a game to give it away when we were good enough to win the game, which we did more than once. - :banghead:

[Jimz31]

5. That one run by Julius Jones.

4. That other run by Julius Jones

3. That run where Julius Jones went up the middle.

2. That run where Julius Jones went behind LA and Adams.

1. And who can forget that other run by Julius Jones.

That about covers it. :D

[Danny White]

1) The Crayton Catch

2) That whole 2 minute stretch against the Seahawks, capped by Julius' sweet run.

3) Roy breaking the Eagles' Super Bowl hopes.

4) Roy's hit on Rod Gardner, keeping him in-bounds, to end the first game against the Skins.

5) Drew Henson's 6 for 6 TD debut against the Ravens.

[Midswat]

Roy breaking T.O.s fibula . . .

Touchdown pass to Crayton against the Redskins . . .

Final 2 minutes of the Seahawks game . . .

[THEHEREAFTER]

5.) Ritchie Andersons halfback pass to Glenn to seal the win against the Skins.

4.) Vinnie hitting R.A.'s helmet and fumbling against Pitt to lose the game (that took a while to get over).

3.) Just seeing JJ back in the starting line-up and 30 carries vs. Bmore/Henson directing a crisp TD drive vs. the Bmore at the end (a game I attended).

2.) JJ bursting up the middle for a 33 yds-- and breaking a safety's ankles for the TD... vs. Chicago..

1.) Patrick Crayton catching the rainbow.. vs. the Skins @ Texas Stadium (I was at a sports bar in GA.. jumping up and down hugging total strangers)

[DLK150]

1.Crayton's catch to beat the 'Skins.

A game winning TD by a seldom used rook in the final moments against Washington. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

2.JJ's last TD, the 17 yarder against the Seahawks.

Capped a great comeback by the offense, great run.

3.KJ's TD in the back of the end zone against the Seahawks.

Love him or hate him, believe he really caught it or not, a clutch reception to bring us within 3.

4.JJ's 33 yard TD up the middle against the Bears.

Sparked us, showed us what we'd been missing, and gave us some hope for the future.

5.The RA/VT fumble against Pittsburgh.

The season in a nutshell. Probably the most untimely blunder in a season filled with untimely blunders.
