This is the one that first came to my mind. I remember them saying Mrs. Garret was just like throw it up to Alvin he'll go get it- and I believe that's what he did too.

Extra sweet with it being the Packers and them thinking it was their day to finally upseed the bully Cowboys...lol they couldn't even do it with a 3rd string qb against their cherished pillpopper Farve, we owned them like no team has ever owned a team before and that game proved it,...with exception of the Redskins as of late though.

How could any Boys fan not go with this one! This was the changing of the guard! Revenge for the 81' championship game! Honestly, I knew we would win that game. Dave Wandstedt's D was #1 and we had the triplets... We had just dominated Philly in big D in the divisional round while SF played a sloppy game in beating the Skins in Gibbs last year. I knew we would win and how sweet it was!

Although I'm kind of old school.. last years Seattle game brought me so much Joy in a dismal season. No way I though JJ could out top his Bears performance but he did. What a wonderful win against a playoff team in their house when they really needed it!

I know it's nuts, but the win over Washington in '89 with Paul Palmer and Steve Walsh was especially satisfying that year for a couple of weeks. The downside is we missed the number 1 overall pick in the draft because we had drafted Walsh in the Supplemental draft. One of Jimmah's few mistakes....along with the Stan Smagala trade those first couple of years of 'Turning the Thing Around.'

I for one thought Smagala was going to be a keeper... he was lightening fast, (second fastest behind Alexander Wright) and could hit... he just couldn't find the ball.

My favorite win by far is the 79 win vs the Skins, then the 99 win in the season opener... and of course what was mentioned before, the win last year vs Seattle... because I was there. 10 points down with less than 2 minutes?? My buddy that I went with was a big Seahawks fan and he kept saying, "Man, they are going to lose this game, I can feel it... " and he was right. I had such a blast at that game... now they are going back there again this year but I won't be in the area....

After a childhood of losing to the Steelers in the Super Bowl getting to see the Boys get one up on the Steelers for the thumb ring did it for me.

This one gets my vote too.

you remeber Paul Palmer taking it 60 yards for the score on one play. Dont remmeber who it was against, but it was just straight up the middle and down the right sideline. I dont remember many individual plays from that year, but I remember seeing that and thinking, not bad. Course he did nothing the rest of the way of note, but that one play sticks in my mind. I never heard of Paul Palmer before that season. Never heard from him again, but that one play was a bright spot in a dark year.

As for the win I remember most, Thanksgiving day 1975/76 against the skins. When Glen Carano came in and won the day after Roger was hurt. The 50 yard hail mary to drew pearson. I remember that cause my dad started cussing and ranting after that play. Turns out he bet against the boys that day. To this day my dad will not bet on a cowboys game, he hates them, but knows they will always win more then they lose.

I don't really think the Walsh trade was a mistake since Jimmy then parlayed Walsh into additional picks and the 1990 draft wasn't really that strong. We ended up getting the best player by far and the top of the first round wasn't that strong:

1. George- we already had our franchise QB, and we definately got the better one!

2. Blair Thomas- Thank god we didn't end up with him. Even with the power of hindsight, Emmit was the better prospect coming out of college.

3. Cortez Kennedy- Good player who we could've used, but not worth the top overall pick.

4. Keith McCants- A total bust.

5. Junior Seau- Obviously great, but do you think Jimmy would've picked him first overall?

I think Jimmy Johnson would've probably traded down, even if we did have the first overall pick. So we may well have ended up with Emmitt anyways (or James Francis!)

Hard to pick just one but in that game all you heard leading up to the game was about the Orange Crush defense. To have have kicked there a$$es like we did then have Harvey and Randy share the MVP's was like adding insult to injury. I didn't sleep a wink the entire week leading up to that game.
