No one likes you, Mr. Honorable. You cannot even be described as a fan. What you bring to this board is extreme negativism. Man, you must have some low self esteem to feel the need to just attack people w/ no provocation. Start a thread and see how many people wish you would leave.
I bet you tossed in the towel early in the 1st quarter didn’t you.

Hail Mary?

Staubach's 1972 comeback in the playoffs?

Clint Longley?

But you reminded me of a miracle game I forgot about. That was a great game for Danny White....good memories.
I am referencing games I actually saw. Both Longley and the Hail Mary were before my time by a little bit.

He's only negative toward other posters. I don't know if I've ever seen him say anything negative about the team. That said, being negative toward the people who will never see it would be far more acceptable, IMO.

If you were to rank all Cowboy games by the unlikelihood they would win....yet they won....where would you rank this game?

I don't mean rank them in according to their importance to the season. I mean rank them according to their improbability of victory.

There is the Hail Mary, Staubach's 1972 playoff comeback, Staubach's final regular season game against the Commanders and Aikman's open season OT victory against the Commanders in 1999....

I would rank today's game #3 most improbable win for the Cowboys.
Probably the 72 playoff game against the Niners, the Niners were literally celebrating at 28-16 less than 2 minutes...what a great comeback on 2 td's.........now that was an on side kick!

Could be, but that in and of itself doesn't elevate it to one of the "greatest", in my opinion.
"Exciting"..."Improbable"....."Timely"......For the time being, I'm willing to accept that triumvirate over "greatest" which, in my opinion, there are only 5....and still alive for a 6th.

You don't appear to possess the self awareness to figure it out. Or anything else for that matter. You're a terrible fan and loathsome to be around.

If I was told Matt Ryan would have 4 TD’s, we would lose the turnover battle 0-3, fail to convert 2 fake punts on our own side of the field, and still find a way to win I would say it’s almost impossible.

This was the most fun regular season game in years.

Not just negative, crude and insulting and childish.

Usually, yes. Much like Gregg used to do, he claims to be the victim, and says that everyone attacks him. It may have started that way, I don't know, but it's not what I've witnessed.

Does he seriously say that? Amazing lack of self awareness. His nastiness has derailed many good discussions.

I said regular season wins and not the greatest but one of the greatest. Chill Nancy.
It was great, but I have other personal favorites. 1974 Clint mad Bomber comeback game against the skins. Staubach 1979 final season comeback game against the skins. Troy to Rocket (i think 1999 season opener) against the skins. Tony's 5 int game against Buffalo on MNF. 2011 comeback against 49ers where TR had cracked ribs and puntured lung, actually this is the closest comparsion for me since we never led in regulation in that game also.

He said it to me once (or something very similar), but I don't know if he says it a lot like the other guy used to do.

But no one is personally attacking this guy initially.

I was attacking Cowboy related and others became frustrated with my message and persistency began insulting me in an attempt to discredit the messenger instead of attacking my message. There’s a distinct difference.

Right

This isn’t a very good team now. Had no business winning today.

Biggest gaff I’ve seen with Falcons not falling on the ball. And more horrid coaching decisions on 4th down. And going for 2 points too early.

Well it is still too early to judge. There is a lot to still worry about. But I do like that they fought hard for a win. But Atlanta having that leon let moment is more responsible for the win than anything we did.

only at the end. I thought we had lost it until the the leon lett moment.

Critical rule most fans don’t grasp is we can say Cowboys suk , Jerry’s an idiot or Romo is a bum, etc but fans can’t insult us in same fashion. All they can do is argue the message or ignore.

In other words rules allow us to attack or insult anything Cowboy related but other members of the forum,
