What are your top 10 Dallas Cowboys games of all time? Criteria: They had to have won the game and it had to have been a game you watched (example anything before 2001 doesn't count for me). In honor of the NFL 100th anniversary and the 60th Cowboys season I might add up what everyone says to do a top ten. Here is mine...
Top 10
1. 2016 Cowboys over Steelers- Lost my voice watching this game. It was epic! Zeke was a monster.
2. 2014 WC Playoff Cowboys over Lions- Dallas played awful and had an incredible comeback.
3. 2009 Cowboys over Saints- Dallas beat the undefeated Saints. Kept their playoff hopes alive, it was a must win!
4. 2009 WC Playoff Cowboys over Eagles- Dallas won their first playoff game in like 13 years. Beat the tar out of the Eagles and for the third time that year.
5. 2018 Cowboys over Eagles- essentially clinched the division. Wild game!
6. 2014- Cowboys over Seahawks- Went on the road to beat Seattle, the defending Super Bowl Champions. Proved they were for real.
7. 2018 WC Cowboys over Seahawks- The the third playoff win I've seen in 18 mediocre years.
8. 2018 Cowboys over Saints-Shut down Brees and the Saints. Proved Dallas was for real.
9. 2003 Cowboys over Eagles- First biggest win I remember. Parcells' first year. Randall Williams returns an onside kick for a TD.
10. 2007 Cowboys over Bills- Crazy Monday Night Game. Dallas had no business winning that game. Won on a long Nick Folk FG.

Since it's a milestone year for the NFL and what not, I'd figure maybe we can do Top Ten Cowboy players and teams as well.

Yeah I totally agree. Just wasn't born or young enough. Didn't think it would be fair. I've watched those games on YouTube. I have to think the 92/93 NFC Title games are probably going to be 1 and 2. But yes from about 1992-1996 you knew the NFC was going to win the Super Bowl. For players it's a little different. I didn't have to be alive to know Roger was great. The best part about games is the memories and emotional part of being a fan!

My bad did not look at the OP avatar. Got my 3 year old playing with me, so had to get straight too it before you climbed on my back. We assumed 94 was birth year could be wrong.

I started following the Cowboys in 1999, so, like the OP, I'm quite limited. Furthermore, since I lived abroad, I didn't get to watch Cowboys games on TV until 2005.



2007: Cowboys defeated Eagles 38-17. This was the first time I had ever seen a Cowboys team beat Philadelphia badly. Up to that point, the only Dallas victory over the Eagles that I'd seen was the 21-20 Monday Nighter comeback where Roy Williams won it for Dallas on a pick-six.
2009: Cowboys defeated Eagles 20-16. Both teams came in at 6-2, gunning for the division lead, and the Cowboys took it in front of a hostile Linc crowd.
2009: Cowboys defeated Eagles 34-14 in the wild card round. First Cowboys playoff win I had seen up to that point. I had gone my entire Cowboys-fan life never seeing a Dallas playoff win up until then.



I attended the Cowboys-Seahawks playoff game this year (January 2019) in person. But it was strangely disappointing and empty feeling. The game almost felt like a preseason game or a meaningless regular season game. It had no "feel" to it. Something was strangely hollow.

All time? You are aware the Cowboys won all their Super Bowls prior to the earliest year you have listed here, right? Seriously? How about Jan 16, 1972- the day the Cowboys beat Miami 24-3 to win our first SB? That’s not top Ten?

Bud please read my message. I wasn't born/old enough to watch those games. I only put games that I saw live on TV or in person. It's not fair for me to put a game I never saw.
