Favourite ever opening weekend game for the Cowboys

[NeathBlue]

As the title says...
Mine is when Herschel Walker made his debut on MNF in 1986 and Al Michaels was in the booth with Frank Gifford.
Beat them 31-28 in a back and forth game with Walker looking outstanding... I thought we were going to win the Super Bowl that year.
Danny White breaking his wrist and Phil ‘holding’ Pozderac in the return game ended that dream.

 

[NeathBlue]

I’d give mentions of beating the Commanders 44-14 in 85 as well as the 35-0 beating we gave the Giants in the Meadowlands

Dallas at Washington in 1999. Dallas wins in OT 41-35 after trailing big at the beginning of the 4th quarter

Too many games for me to remember. I like your pic LOL

2007 vs the Giants was a good one for those of us that missed the SB years. Insanely high scoring and the start of the Romo era had so much excitement after the disastrous QB play of the prior handful of seasons.

Wasn't that the Aikman to Rocket Ismail for like a 75 yard "game winner" game? If so, yeah that was sweet.

I've been a fan since my Military Days overseas. All you could get was the Cowboys. How could you not love the star and what it represents. That was back in the late 60s. Early sixties I was a Packer fan. I know LOL

95 then 99

I thought that was when Danny White just before half-time hit Tony The Thrill Hill going down the right side or maybe it was Golden Richards

Like I said too many games to remember.

I believe that was the game we trailed by 13 0r 14, tied the game only to have Washington pull away again then we tied again. Is that the same game?

I’ve followed the Cowboys since the NFL was first shown over here in 82... Man there were a lot of ups and downs before I first seen them win the SB lol

Dallas Washington 1992, the passing of the torch, we saw how much difference a Charles Haley would make.

That was a short wait for you compared to the wait now since our last.

True... You’ve got a point there lol

I think you might be thinking of the one when we trailed 24-3 or whatever in D.C and we came back to win 31-30 ish??
I’d have included that on my list... but I didn’t get to see it at the time.

1999 against Washington was arguably tGOAT NFL opening weekend game. A 21 point comeback then Aikman to Rocket 75 yards for the walk off win.
