Then Mosley didn't get a chance to kick a last FG as the refs ruled time had run out on the game. Now that was an amazing game.

Fantastic! Classic. It's never been like that for us since Roger quit. One last second come from behind victory after another is what made me a Cowboy fan in the mid 70's.

The Super Bowl wins are obvious favorites. In addition, my favorite wins are:

Danny White's 1980 Playoff comeback v. Atlanta - first game I remember watching start to finish

The season opening 1992 win v. Washinton on MNF. - huge upset that let every Cowboy fan know we were finally back

1993 season finale OT win over the G-Men to clinch the NFC East - the game that would put "obnoxious sports bar Giant fan" on the path to extinction for years to come.

my third fave is the overtime game against the giants in 93 when emmitt seperated his shoulder and kept playing anyways.

that was probably the best example of two teams not wanting to lose. a game where you hate for any team to lose. one of, if not the best football games i've ever seen.

Too many to pick from the Hail Mary game, SB XII, the big comeback games, but I'm going with 2 from the 92 season.

MNF opener and we spank the defending champ Redskins to set the tone for the season.

Later that season I saw my first, and only so far, Cowboy game at Texas Stadium in a win over KC. Going to and from with a plane full of Chiefs fans was a blast.

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.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

I started following the Cowboys the year they lost the SB to the Colts notice I said lost as the Colts did not "win it" so I am not too well versed on next years champs but

that first SB win...was soooo sweet

and after that game I seen a sign that said

DALLAS COWBOYS WORLD CHAMPIONS

man I liked the look of that and still do to this day
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair....Bertrand Russell

1993 NFC Championship at Texas Stadium when all the sports reporters said it was going to be one of the greatest games ever and the Cowboys crushed Seifert's 49ers with Jimmy's brass balls, 38-21. The 1993 game at home at Christmas against Washington when we beat them 38-3 was great too, I was there. As you can see, I like blow outs.
Thankfully, I was smart enough to have never believed...

hard to pick one...but of the games I've seen (since 75)

the obvious ones:
1) dominating super bowl wins vs Denver and Buffalo
2) NFC Champ wins vs SF in 92 and 93...the 93 rout was particularly pleasing...had Aikman not got the concussion to start the 2nd half we might have hung 50+ on them...he was nearly perfect that day and we already were leading 28-7
3) 1975 hail mary game vs Minny
4) Staubach's last reg season game, comeback win vs Washington 1979

not so obvious ones:

1) beating Philly at home in 1992 regular season
2) demolition of the Giants to open 1995 regular season
3) Emmitt's 237yd gem vs Philly in 1993
4) Aikman's 5 tds lead to OT comeback vs Skins in 1999 opener
5) 1981 playoff destruction of Tampa Bay
6) 1993 season finale at NYG to clinch homefield adv
7) total domination of GB in 1991, 1993 (2) 94 (2) 95 (2) and 96
8) blowout playoff wins vs Philly in 1992 and 95
9) stonewalling Walter Payton in 1977 playoff 37-7 win
10) 1986 win vs NYG on MNF...welcome to Dallas Herschel Walker...one of only 2 Giant losses that yr

Glen Carano?

Anyway, for me any game they win is a great one, any they lose is a bad one.

'92 NFC Championship Game because it was a surprise to me that we won. As the new kid on the block in that game it is surprising we went in to SF and won on the first try. Usually a young team like Dallas was at that time loses a game like that because they aren't experienced enough to win that game on the road. A loss in that situation is usually part of a new dynasty's "baptism by fire." The fact that Jimmy's Boys pulled it off in front of those front running Niner fans made it extra sweet. I think that slant to Harper will always be, for me, the most unforgettable play I'll ever see in Cowboys history. It was just a ballsy, ballsy call by Norv & Jimmy.
