Most helpless moment as a Cowboys fan

[TheCritic]

That 1998 Thanksgiving game against Randy Moss and the Vikings...still haunts me to this day. The most disgusted I ever felt as a Cowboys fan. Watching the most dominant performance against the Cowboys I had ever seen. Knowing there was nothing they could have done to stop him on that day. Knowing that he could have and should have been a Cowboy.

Other moments contend, like the 44-0 shutdown against the 85 Bears. But the Moss game is the one that still hurts the most.

Anytime we faced Aaron Rodgers the last few years for me

Also when Jason walked to the podium and you just knew “How we doin guys?” after a loss was coming

2008 vs Ravens closing out Texas Stadium
2008 vs Eagles 44-6
2000-2002 all three seasons

Dak’s last two playoff exits against SF and the way he played.

 

[mrmojo]

Harold Jackson and Mel Grey torching the Cowboys secondary.....it was a given

 

[Bobhaze]

The Ice Bowl, Craig Morton’s interception in SB V, Jackie Smith’s drop and Pass interference call on Benny Barnes in SB XIII, The Catch, hiring Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett as HCs, the Joey Galloway and Roy Williams trades, the 2009 draft, the 2016 playoff loss to GB…the annual “State of the Cowboys” presser with Jerry talking complete non-sense.

Any time Jason Garrett stepped up to the mic and stated the Dallas "Football" Cowboys......as if there were other people that would mistake the Dallas Cowboys with another sport....

The Catch. I will say no more.

Man… that 44-6 L to Philly in 2008 was absolutely brutal. “Win and you’re in” lol… damn that was embarrassing

The Overtime Zone was made for this thread.

That loss to the Giants 2007. Pathetic.

 

[cald0d30s0]

I can't believe I can't think of the most painful, but surely i can pick many. I felt like crap when we played @ Rams on the divisional game 2018, it was extremely painful to watch. Another one is the game that got Wade Phillips fired against Green Bay.

 

[Cowboys93]

Dez “catch” in GB bar none that was soul crushing

 

[ghst187]

Easy the 95 playoff loss to the niners….easy four straight titles never to be matched

 

[Flamma]

Could not stop the Vikings in '98. That's the same year we lost to the Broncos in similar fashion, except it was Davis that killed us. He took it the distance on two consecutive handoffs. That's not something you see too often.

Enduring the Jones family since 1996

Knowing Jerry had kids and they were elevated to the front office after a brief stint in food and beverage.

Not drafting Randy Moss led to another big mistake by trading away 2 first round picks for Joey Galloway just two years later. Michael Irvin ended up having to retire a year after we passed on Moss. I honestly don’t think Moss would’ve had the career in Dallas that he had in Minnesota because the Cowboys were in decline and had no QB once Troy Aikman was released. Our OL was so bad by 2001 we couldn’t get the ball down the field to Galloway. When Parcells arrived we ended up bringing in Keyshawn Johnson who was a possession receiver in place of Galloway. We didn’t have the QB or pass protection to take advantage of a deep threat.

I was at that Rams game. We tailgated at a public park on Grape Street in the hood. If you don't know, that's GANGLAND.
