Name one particular play by the Cowboys that you'll never forget

[Jarv]

With this franchise I don't think you can have just one.
Clint Longley to Drew Pearson happy Thanksgiving

That's mine too!

 

[Whirlwin]

There have been a few. In fact, too many for me to probably mention but there are a few that kinda stand out.

Of course the Smith drop. He was a good guy too.

The QB Sneak by the great Bart Starr in 67.

The numerous bad calls vs the Colts in Super Bowl V

Tony's Field Goal hold vs Seattle.

The Danny No! play.

The Dez catch (No Catch!) play.

Roger's last pass ever vs the Rams is right up there for sure.

But this, this might be the one. Over the years, I've looked at this picture and just wondered what if. What if any one of those players had been just one step closer? This one, I think, for me.....

To be honest, it wasn't even the catch itself. It was always the idea that if any one of those guys could have been there just a have second sooner........

Such is life I suppose.

I thought Danny White was going to come back. I believe that's the game where Tom Landry said you don't have a cool bone in your body.

 

[Whirlwin]

That's mine too!

For some reason I can't remember that play.

 

[Jarv]

For some reason I can't remember that play.

1974

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Derrick Lassic’s 3-yard run against the Eagles.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

DeMarcus Ware's interception of Mike Vick... stiff arm of Mike Vick and touchdown return that stiff arm was almost as good as the score

 

[blueblood70]

The Catch to beat us in what 1981 NFCCG ? that hurt I was young like 10 it nearly made me cry..we all know it was a throw away that somehow got caught BY ACCIDENT..

 

[Western]

Too many to choose from, but in big games, in crucial moments, playmakers made plays.

Ken Norton Jr. stopping Kenneth Davis at the goal line on 3rd down -- Super Bowl 27.

 

[kmp77]

Novacek's hurdle....

 

[Tabascocat]

Too many to name, but I will go with two:

1. Witten running helmetless
2. Jesse Holley 77yd catch(1st career at that) in OT at SF.....will never forget because I was there

 

[John813]

Aikman to Ismail for the ot winner in Washington.

 

[krimson]

Romo’s botched hold in Seattle.

 

[Teague31]

Slant to Harper

 

[Thefeelofcotton]

The returned surprise onside against the eagles for a touchdown. I want to say it was 2003

 

[star-ving]

Its like Lays..you can't have just one.(since TD's 99yd TD on MNF is already taken)

Deion chasing down Rocket Ismail for the over-the-shoulder Int vs Raiders.


Dez 1st PR for a TD vs NY...just the anticipation of what Dez was gonna be like for us and it was electrifying.

 

[Shake_Tiller]

"99 and a half yards."

 

[dagreat1_87]

Most of the others have been mentioned but just off the top of my head, that play where marion barber looked like he was about to be tackled for a safety but somehow got a few yards out of it.

 

[NeathBlue]

Good... Tony Dorsett running 99 yards in the first season we had the NFL here in the UK.

Bad... the no flag call on Deion when tripped Irvin.

 

[jsb357]

Gen 1 Smith drop
Gen 2 Harper catch
Gen 3 Romo botch
Gen 4 EZ Pitt run

 

[LandryFan]

Tony D's 99 yard run.

Yep. That and "Hail Mary". I can still vividly see both in my feeble mind.
