I liked the Carter to Bryant TD in the final minute to beat the Panthers at home in 2002. Unfortunately, there were not that many great plays in the first half of the decade.

I think this was 2003. This was Parcells first win with the Cowboys, i still have it on tape. Great game!


10/30/2005 – Roy Williams stuffs Emmitt Smith vs. Arizona

Also in 2003. 6 rushes for -1 yards by smith.

Changed the date on Bryant - Thank you. It was Parcells' first win.

12/6/2004 – Julius Jones Go-Ahead TD in Seattle
It was a fantastic game, especially for Jones. If Jones' career had turned out better, we'd look back on that particular Seattle game much more fondly today.

The Dantzler KO return was easiy the best individual play of the decade. Only Romo's run after the bad snap vs St Louis and Barber's improbable run out of the end zone vs New England are close.

How about Keyshawn's 1 handed catch vs. Seattle late to either tie it or make it a one-score game, can't remember which. I think it was the year before we drafted Julius. That was a sweet play.

Quincy Carter dead duck pass that ricocheted off a Panther to Joey Galloway for 6. 2002

Ritchie Anderson option pass for a TD against Washington. 2004

Randall Cunningham, bobbled snap, deep pass to Chris Warren for 6 against Washington. 2000

Quincy Carter bomb to Galloway to beat the Titans, right after our opening loss to the expansion Texans.

Quincy Carter bomb to Witten to seal the game against the Giants and a playoff birth. 2003.

No we had Julius.

He ran for 198 yards that game, including a game-winning draw in OT

That Seattle game was probably one of the best games I've ever seen.

Not to mention JJ running for 198 and 3 TD's.

I wont try to forget that. I will try to forget the Julius Jones from 2005-present.

Yeah, Julius turned out to be a disappointment, but consider the alternative.

Had Dallas not traded down with Buffalo, and took Steven Jackson, then the Cowboys would have been left with a dilemma the following year. If the Cowboys only had the 11th overall pick (and not also the 20th where Spears went), what guarantees do you have that the 11th overall pick still would have been Ware?

To Parcells, Spears was more vital to him for the transformation to the 3-4 defense. Does Parcells let Jerry talk him into drafting Ware so easily? Bill wanted Spears at pick #11.

So as disappointed as I am in Julius Jones, I am glad Dallas traded down in 2004. I think Dallas would have passed up Ware. It is a good thing that we will never truly find out.

All great plays. If someone has 'em on tape, I wouldn't say no to a YouTube mix. LOL

What I really remember is Al Michaels questioning the call on more than on occasion. I think that is the first time that I really though Michaels had an anti-cowboy bias. It was like he couldn't believe the Cowboys had just pulled even.

DWare tipping, intercepting and running a Mike Vick pass (stiff-arming him in the process) into the end-zone against Atlanta

'07 I believe

What about that Roy Williams INT for the comeback win against Philly in 2005. Bradie James bruises McFlabb's sternum in the process and puts him out the rest of the year.

Chris Warren. Chris freaking Warren. Man. I had totally, and I mean TOTALLY forgot he ever was a Cowboy! Saw that, and thought, huh? Who? Must be the age thing kicking in ha ha ....I DO know of a few others that I wish had never been brought in, but won't get into that...don't want to hijack the thread ;)

I wasn't fond of Warren. I felt he took receptions away from Emmitt who I thought was someone we never wanted off the field.
