Randy Moss in ‘98 destroying us after we could’ve drafted him. That was awesome.

Lots of great games and great memories. The worst was 98 and Randy Moss. I was there to witness that historic game. Watching the Viking fans there celebrate literally made me sick at my stomach.

The Jason Garrett comeback Thanksgiving game 1994 - still ranks supreme No.1,imo ....

Here are some great ones- I saw every one of them live on some TV, lol...

• 1974- vs Washington. Cowboys win 24-23 on Drew Pearson late TD pass from backup QB Clint “Mad Bomber” Langley, who had replaced Roger Staubach who had a concussion.
• 1979- vs Hos Oilers- Oilers won 30-24 behind nearly 200 yards rushing from the great Earl Campbell.
  
• 1993- the “Leon Lett” game vs Dolphins -Mia won 16-14 when Lett touched a live ball after Cowboys blocked a FG attempt by Mia. Dolphins recovered and kicked the winning FG on next play.
• 1994- vs Packers- Cowboys win 42-31. The game where Jason Garrett stepped in for an injured Troy Aikman and outdueled Brett Favre.

There are others...

☆1980...51-7 beat down of seattle.
☆1984...20-17 win over new england.
☆1983...35-17 win over st.louis.
☆1985...35-17 win over st.louis.
☆1981...10-9 over chicago.

among the losses
☆1987...44-38 OT loss to minnesota...Danny White and Mike Renfro teamed up on 3TDs.
Herschel had a solid game also.
☆1988...25-17 loss to houston...we had the lead...played well and had some killer turnovers late.


those are the ones that still seem like yesterday to me.

clint longley game will always be #1.

 

[cowboyec]

i'm still pissed about that OT loss to minnesota in '87.

Randy Moss in ‘98 destroying us after we could’ve drafted him. That was awesome.

I am not sure how much Moss would have helped. He was a deep threat. Aikman was not some big arm QB who was going to chunk deep. Then in a few years, we would spiral into the depths and in qB hell.

Geez. I think I've seen every one since we started doing them in the mid 60s.

Longley ... and that’s the one I remember most fondly.

 

[fivetwos]

Some that come to mind in no order....

1982....Cleveland. Fairly easy win but strike just ended. Was nice to have football back for TG.

1990....Washington. That may be the game when it all came together for that group.

1992....Giants. Only time I attended the game. An absolute beat down. I had no clue at the time Dallas wasn't scorching hot all year and froze in the stands.

1993....Miami. Worst flu of my life. Was in shock when I tuned in and saw a white field. Dolphin fans love to talk smack on this one. The win put them at 9-2. They never won again and missed playoffs. We never lost again and raised a trophy.

1994...Green Bay. Probably the best game (didnt see Longley though).

2002...Washington. Me praying Chad Hutchinson was the savior lol.

2004: Chicago. Me praying Drew Henson was the savior lol.

Because greg ellis helped so much more?

Moss should have been the choice.

I always like the Clint Longley game and the game Garrett played against the packers.

Are you a Moss fan or a Cowboys fan? I can't fathom a Cowboys fan liking a Cowboys loss as the favorite turkeyday game.

thats mine and has to have a lot of similarity's today with an undermanned team needing a win..

Denver loss in 05 was a great game.

1991 vs Pittsburgh was a breakout game for Michael Irvin.

1995 vs Kansas City was a good game.
