Honestly, I cannot stand to watch it either, but it seemed like a sentiment many would appreciate 'round these parts...

1979 followed by 1974.

I think that was the only time that I ever saw LT show compassion on the field.

I love seeing any Redskin QB beat up and sacked but that was just nasty.

I can recall when Chris Hanburger lifted Meredith off the ground and drilled him into the turf. Meredith went into that game with broken ribs and claims he hollered to Hanburger "No" But Hanburger drilled him into the turf anyways. Meredith was taken to the hospital afterwards

Two stick out to me. The 1991 game where we screwed up their undefeated season I was in High School and a die hard Cowboys fan. My best friend was a Redskins fan. He was talking so much smack up to that point. I came to school in my Cowboys Jersey and talked even more smack the next day. I was on top of the world that day.

The other one was 2004 when Patrick Crayton beat Sean Taylor for the game winning TD. I was so tired of hearing how ST was better than RW (back when he was good) that was able to laugh at all the DC skins fans the next day.

The History of Cowboys/Skins

[thechosen1n2]

This is easy. Michael downs knocking down the ball in the endzone so we would not go winless. I was listening to the game on krld 1080 or either the station ron chapman use to be on (can recall the name) because the game was blacked out. I celebrated like we won the Super Bowl. Little did I know, I would be celebrating 3 of them very soon.

The 1999 season opener. The game was in Washington. The Skins were supposed to handle the Boys easily. They were picked by most to win the NFC East that year. It was a back on forth game with the Boys leading 14-0 early but the Skins came back to lead 35-14. The Boys tied it up late and Aikman hit the Rocket in OT for the win.

I was home alone for this game. It is the only time the cops have ever showed up at my house because the neighbors called thinking there was a fight. They laughed and told me to keep it down.

Great game and great day.

1979 Game

[QT]

Steve Beuerlein (subbing for Aikman) leading them to a win. One of the touchdowns I will never forget is the pass he threw behind Irvin (i think it was a slant) and Irvin had to bat the ball towards him to make the TD catch.

I also think this was the game where Jimmy onside kicked it.

1979, last game of the season. Winner was NFC East Champ. Loser was going home. Eerily similar to Sunday, except the Skins could still sneak in.

Roger brings us back from 13 points down in under 4 minutes and the Cowboys win by 1 point.

Best game I ever saw.


Close seconds are the Happy Birthday Joe game where Thurman's Thieves pikced off 5 of his passes and 6 total, and the "Triumph of an Uncluttered Mind" 1974 Thanksgiving miracle.

I also like the 1999 opener and Troy Aikman to Rocket Ismail in OT.

"When you go up against a big gorilla, you don't hit him lightly. You hit him with everything you've got!" - Jimmy Johnson (in reference to being asked about going for it on 4th and 5 rather than kicking a field goal, and the onside kick.

1991 week 13. At Washington.

They were undefeated and we were big underdogs.

Aikman hit Harper on a Hail Mary right before the half, jimmy went on side and on fourth down. Pulled out all the stops.

We won and started a run that led us to the playoffs and a win over the bears at soldier field.

Aikman was hurt in that game and done for the year essentially minus a few snaps in the lions playoff game.

The skins went 15-1 and won the Super Bowl that year. Had emmitt not drank the sports drink that he was told would hydrate him at halftime we would have beat them in week 2 also. He became sick and couldn't stop throwing up out of the half. Still had a big day.

To this day I wish we could have got a crack at them in the NFC championship game in rfk. Jimmy was 3-0 up there.

I am going to watch this game tonight.

Of the recent games, the 08 game where we were playing for our lives and no one gave us a chance was also a memorable game. Romo with his bad thumb and a banged up barber did just enough to win.

1. 1989 - i remember it was a primetime game and the Cowboys were winless going up against the heavily favored Skins @ RFK. Paul Palmer had the game of his life. The D held the Skins to only 3 points. Boys got their only win that year winning 13-3.

2. 1999 - season opener @ FedEx. Deion was out with a bad back or toe. Charlie Williams and Kevin Mathis were our starting CBs. Redskins WRs were wide open all day. In fact, they still may be open. Anyway, after a sluggish 2nd-3rd quarters, the Triplets responded with a vintage performance to erase a late 21 point deficit. Then the bomb to Rocket was the most exciting finish I'd ever witness live at a game.

Ditto.
