Here is a refresher (I bolded the ones that stand out to me):

2011 Jets - Romo fumble on the goalline, block punt TD, then lose on a Nick Folk (just cut) kick.

2011 Lions, Up 24 points in the 3rd Q yet Garrett has Romo slinging the ball and he throws 2 pick sixes to start the second half.

2011 Patriots - Running the ball 3x with 4 minutes left in the game and punting back to Tom freaking Brady who drives down the field for the game winning TD.

2011 Cardinals - Icing our kicker on the GW field goal, misses the second kick.

2011 Giants - JPP blocks game-tying field goal.

2012 Seahawks - Get beaten to a pulp. Lee blindsided, nobody responds.

2012 Ravens - Abysmal clock management at the end forces Bailey to kick 51 yd GW FG, he misses.

2012 Giants - Go down 23-0 at home, Dez finger on backline endzone OOB.

2012 Commanders - Thanksgiving Day Massacre to RG3.

2012 Saints - Lose Wk 16 home game to hapless Saints which would have clinched the division.

2012 Commanders - lose Week17 winner take all on a Romo pick to the flats in the last 2 mins.

2013 Broncos - We score 48 points at home and have a QB who throws for 500yds and 5TDs and still lose.

2013 Lions - Calvin Johnson 329yds and Stafford QB sneak TD at the buzzer.

2013 Saints - Allow 40 first downs to the Saints (NFL record) & 625 total yards (franchise record).

2013 Bears - Team quits because of the cold.

2013 Packers - Matt Flynn coming back from 3 scores back in the 2nd half

2013 Eagles - Lose Week 17 winner takes division game at home.

2014 Eagles - Mark Sanchez Thanksgiving Massacre.

2014 Packers -Dez caught it but we gave up a 8pt lead to one-legged Rodgers.

2015 entire season - Go 1-11 without Romo.

2016 Giants - Terrance Williams inexplicably doesn't go out of bounds on GW drive, time runs out.

2016 Packers - Go down 21-3 in home playoff game, go pass-happy in RZ, lose opportunity at home Super Bowl.

2017 Broncos - Trevor Siemian turns into Dan Marino - 5 tds.

2017 Rams - Up 12 at home, McVay comes out of halftime and toys with Garrett for entire 2nd half.

2017 Packers - Rodgers slices and dices D in under 1 minute GW td drive.

2017 Falcons - Adrian Clayborn - 6 sacks, nuff said.

2017 Seahawks - Spend previous weeks destroying draft positioning only to lose home playoff-elimination game. Dez has crucial drop and fumble.

2018 Commanders - Snap infraction, Maher hits upright on GW field goal.

2018 Colts - Bullied for 4 quarters by Eberflus' defense.

2018 Rams - Give up nearly 300 yds rushing, lose to 2nd year head coach.

2019 Saints - Can't win w/out Brees

2019 Packers - Can't win w/out Davante Adams

2019 Jets - Lose to 0-4 team with a QB returning from mono.

2019 Vikings - Can't win w/out Thielen & Joseph. Choke away GW drive near GL.

2019 Patriots - One missed FG, one blocked punt, delay of game on punting unit, illegal shift on punting unit, three miss handled kickoff.
Man that’s just depressing

2013 Packers.

That was a true “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory” kind of game.

Even more pathetic, it was against Matt “Friggin” Flynn...

I was at the Giants 23-0 game with my 2 boys, on a gift from my wife. Even Garrett didn't screw up the experience!

I’m still pissed about the Mike Furrey game.....That was probably Wade but I don’t care at this point, JG was somewhere clapping his *** off

2008- 44-6 loss to Philadelphia.
2010- the first 8 games.
2010- Christmas Eve- Kitna throws 2 pick sixes in 24-21 loss to the Cardinals. The Nightmare on Christmas Eve(I think that was the score).
Every season since Garrett came to Dallas as a coach.
Garrett named Coach of the Year in 2016 for doing nothing. It was humiliating.

I can't stand Garrett, but 2008 was Wade as were the first 8 games of 2010.

I'd go with icing the kicker vs AZ.

The Saints game is the most helpless I've ever felt during a game. Bar none the worst defense I've ever seen at any level.

The angriest I've been after a game was the '16 playoff loss. You had two games until you played a home Super Bowl in Houston and you blew it against an injury-riddled Packers team. I will never forgive that clown for ruining that opportunity.

This stung really bad. Especially being there. Dez and Witten both cried after the game (Dez didn’t leave the bench until an hour later)

No, it was Garrett's pass happy, undisciplined offense that kept turning the ball over in the Cowboys own end of the field.
The Cowboys gave away game after game with turnovers in their own end of the field.
Phillip's defense was ranked 1st in the NFL after the first 5 games of 2010, but the Cowboys were losing because of Garrett. Then Romo got hurt and the wheels really came off.

The two that I still vividly remember..

Icing our own kicker against the Cardinals. It was an introduction to Garrett's inability to manage games.
AND
The huge comeback win for Matt Flynn and the Packers after being up like 21 ish points?
He ended up getting paid a ridiculous contract after that by some other team. Never ended up having another game like that his entire career. Surprise surprise.
