Some Cowboys games are still fun to watch

What? You posted a still shot. How about go LOOK at the play.

I have the game on video. But are you really that unimaginative to not know that Murray, who hasn't hit the hole yet, nor made a cut, is not going to just straightline run past a safety that's at least 25 yards downfield and already sprinting toward his direction? You seriously need video for that?

lol you know during the game, Aikman said that would have been a td for sure.
Aikman does that alot and mostly it isnt true, he just says it.

That year was weird because Murray only had 6 fumbles, and had what 350 carries, 100 more than
any other RB. Yet the media went on and on about his fumbles ! lol
Aikman was one of the worst on that.
Most of he fumbles were strips, not fumbles.
This one was from behind because martin could not block peppers, he made martin look like a fool
on that play .
Murray was focused on down field and not expecting someone from behind to go for the ball. Plus he had the broken bone in that hand, and I would have played Randal in that game.
He was fresh and healthy, and faster than Murray.

I doubt murray gets more than 20 -25 yds on that play if martin could have blocked peppers.
And no matter what happened GB would probably still have won.
Back then dallas could beat any team BUT GB ! AND ROGERS.
It was similar to the Don Meredith teams that couldnt beat GB either, also 2 games were played
one in dallas one in GB , Dallas lost both , and both were close score wise.

I know a lot of us get down about our team's lack of playoff success, but that doesn't mean there aren't some fun moments week to week.

I stumbled across a 2014 game at Seattle, when the Seahawks coming off their Super Bowl victory were 3-1 and we were 4-1. Seattle had lost only 1 game at home in its last 21 (or 41), had not given up a 100-yard rusher all season (or even a 40-yard rusher) and on top of that our defense had not been great against the run and Seattle was a strong running team.

We handicapped ourselves in this one by giving up a blocked punt for a TD and Dwayne Harris muffing a punt that resulted in a TD. On top of that we had a bad snap in that loud environment that resulted in a turnover and Seattle field goal.

As much as Rod Marinelli has been maligned on here, his group of misfits and castoffs (George Selvie, Tyrone Crawford, Nick Hayden and Anthony Spencer was our starting DL) played outstanding in shutting down both Marshawn Lynch and Seattle's passing game. They were flying to the ball, getting pressure and the secondary was sticky in coverage.

DeMarco Murray not only surpassed 40 yards rushing (breaking 100 with 119), but Joseph Randle also had over 50. And Romo made a Romo play when we needed it most, spinning away from pressure, sliding to his right, directing traffic and delivering a great pass on third-and-20 on our winning TD drive. Even though it was a great pass, Terrence Williams had to go up and get it because it was thrown over Witten and a defender and Williams managed to drag his toes as he fell out of bounds (may have been the best catch of his career).

We know that season finished in disappointment, but just taken by itself, that game had all the things you want to see from your team in overcoming adversity.

Loved that game, that was a good season, Dez caught it….who knows how the game would have ended if they gave it to him. Rolando McClain and the LBs were good that year….most of the rest of the D was blah lol. If we did a little better drafting a couple D players, with that offense, could have won the SB that year.

It was so boring last season.
