Best Thanksgiving Game Memory

[Yuma Cactus]

Surely the "Mad Bomber" game of 1974. Other than championship games that and the "hail mary" are my 2 greatest game memories.

99 was a sweet victory but man you just knew the future was bleak as that season was ending

There's a few good ones but my favorite is Leon Lett in 93', remember that?

Lots of good Thanksgiving Day games and I have attended every single one of them starting in 1966 Dallas vs Cleveland to this upcoming game vs Washington.

I guess if I had to pick one it would be Garrett's Thanksgiving, in large part because GB fans where just giving me hell at Halftime as GB was in control and to watch Dallas come back in the second half and then see cheese heads walking out with their heads hanging low cracked me up.

Probably around 75 or 76 I was just a little kid when I saw the Cowboys on tv for the first time. It was a combination of the field with the giant star, the reset thing the oline used to do and of course the cheerleaders. I was hooked.

Lot's of great ones. I'd go with 1974 vs Washington.

Hopefully, after this year, the answer will be 2012!!

I love that game because some of the guys I worked with at the time were trash talking big time about how we'd get destroyed. When I walked in Monday morning they just said I don't want to hear it. I laughed and walked away.

funny in the 1st half of the game Garrett was struggling with out routs he just did not have the arm to throw the outs then he started hanging the ball high and deep letting Irvin and Harper make plays down field. To go into a game with Troy down and Rodney Pete down and have Garrett come in and win the game vs a very good GB team was pretty impressive stuff.

Favorite Thanksgiving memory?

My all time favorite Thanksgiving day game was when we played the Chiefs and Irvin caught that TD one handed and Dale Carter got ejected and Deion and and the team and the fans stood up waving good bye to Carter and singing hey hey hey goooood-bye!!!!! I was 14! Man the memories I had! My parents flew us out there from CA and we made a decision to move to Valley Ranch and my parents purchased a lot on Cowboys Parkway had our house Built on 200 Meredith Ct and Cowboys Parkway. Lived there for a few years until my father was almost killed in a car crash and then moved back to CA. But that game for me sprung the future of my family moving to Texas for a football team.

Landry Jones will be a better NFL QB than Tony Romo? I thought you said you were a Cowboys fan? Why would you wish such ill will on the team then?

Watch the Cleveland clip again. This is what Romo is when he has a clean pocket -- aggressive, accurate, dominant. Now go watch the OU-Notre Dame game. This is what Jones is with even a hint of a pass rush -- hesitant, inaccurate, non-productive.
