Favourite ever opening weekend game for the Cowboys

[dckid]

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

Airman threw 5 TD’s and 3 int’s. Gailey was the coach. That year Gailey said Irvin should play less. I believe the next game Irvin’s career ends in Philly.
The TD to Ismail in OT was a beauty

Can I dislike?

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.

That was 81 I think. Dorsett on the top fold of Washington Post. The day I became a Cowboy fan I was 5.

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

This game and the 91 game when Emmit got cramps and didn’t play after halftime. I knew that something special was happening.

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.

I think Marino Bledsoe duel in 94 was opening day.... I think.

I've actually been there, but don't ask me to pronounce it.

I can’t pronounce it myself... not many I know can

Easy. The 1992 opener. We just acquired Charles Haley and we dominated the defending champion Commanders 23-10.

Put everyone on notice. We were back.

1992 vs Washington on MNF.
Vinson Smith got a LB sack.
Isaac Holt blocks punt out of end zone.
Dallas drives down for a TD.
It's 9-0 Dallas and on their way to the greatest season in their history.

Green and Bailey still can't catch the Rocket!

Wasn't 2015 technically the most exciting... didn't they score a TD with less than 10 seconds left or something?

Like others, I also have fond memories of Aikman to Ismail... though in retrospect I have no idea why. That team stunk. Maybe it was because Troy finally threw a perfect bomb...

We won't talk about the rematch later that season.

"No Danny, no!"

Dallas missed the playoffs in '74 (only time in a 20 year span) and had 12 rookies on the '75 roster. They surprisingly took it to the Rams in the opener in Texas Stadium, 18-7.

The "Hail Mary" came about 4 months later. A week after that the Cowboys whupped the Rams again in the NFC championship, 37-7.

Emmitt owned the Giants this game.

After the 9ers won the SB in 1994 after our 92,93 wins.

Our defense was fierce back then.

 

[Pass2Run]

Easy. The 1992 opener. We just acquired Charles Haley and we dominated the defending champion Commanders 23-10.

Put everyone on notice. We were back.

I was at the training camp during this era at St. Ed's.. It was a trip.

Aikman even had some competition as to who'd be the starter.
