I kept reading the media reference point all last week about the last time the Cowboys played the Seahawks in a playoff game. Reminding me of a vile taste that has been there for 12 years. You know the one right. Always in Cowboy lore as "the botched snap" referenced over and over again last week as the starting point. Some would say a single play that would define this team for a decade. The pickup of the botched snap, the rumble, the last gasp effort, to fall 2 yards short. A point that began an era of so close but so far away.

Although that game will forever be the "botched snap game" it can no longer be the reference point as the last time the Cowboys played the Seahawks in the playoffs. The next time will be " when the whirling dervish flew through the air" and the Cowboys beat the Seahawks and destroyed their running game. It's about time that bitter, vile 2006 game is put to rest in my mind, replaced with a W instead of an L. A whirling dervish and defense replacing the botched.

It's about time!!

Ill never forget Russell Wilsons wife moonwalking across the cowboys endzone last season after that loss to put us out. Really bothered me for some reason..

Dak is making bank with each win. That deal he wants from Jerrah is happening. He has earned it. I was a staunch believer in tagging him,but after last night,I am a believer in him. We need to sign him up for a 3 year deal with a 4th year option. I think we will lose Byron Jones in free agency. Cant sign everyone.

I have a friend that talks crap about dallas and says we’re the worst team in the nfl

Recently The only time he didn’t open his mouth we lost 23-0

We were on our way to lose against the giants until he opened his mouth and said “the cowboys are ready to lose this game” and then Prescott throws a whole touchdown pass

Yeah eh?! My friends who watch the NFL are either Packers or a few die-hard Lions fans. With the Lions fans I commiserate, with the Packers I rub it in as much as I can. A "whole TD pass" no less!

If Dak wasn't our QB...I would want Russ Wilson as our guy.That dude is special. He dropped dimes with Gregory hanging on him...He did nothing all game until it was money time. THEN HE LIT IT UP. Russ doesn't get enough cred. Ultimate leader. Dak is in that same ilk thus far.

Great post. I am excited to be able to say I remember when Dak ran for 16 yards on a 3rd and 14 and then sealed the game with a bruising QB sneak. You know, it's kind of sad but that Seattle game with the botched snap was a microcosm of Romo's career. Without Romo we wouldn't even been a playoff team that year. And without Romo driving us down the field to put us in position to win he wouldn't have botched the snap. It's like for all the good things that Romo did in that game, and his career, he will be remembered by the odd miscues and bad luck.

Hopefully this Seattle game is going to be a microcosm of Dak's career. A show of determination, leadership and desire to win the game and all costs and then actually winning the game. Taking the team on his shoulders and finishing the Seahawks. I'm hoping, and counting on, this being a sign of what to expect from Dak in his career.
