The Great Plays of the Decade 2000-2005

[twentytwo]

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

This would be AMAZING if someone was willing to do this. I'm sure some of these gems won't be too easy to find.

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.

That play exemplified the flaw in the old force-out rule, which is that an official couldn't retroactively call a force-out if he thought the receiver got both feet inbounds despite the contact by the defender.

Keyshawn did get only one foot down, but he was well inbounds when he caught the ball. The defender made contact, and Keyshawn's elbow hit out of bounds before his second foot ever hit the ground. The official called it a touchdown but never signaled a force-out. Had the touchdown gone to replay, it would have been reversed, even though he WAS forced out.

I dunno. Preseason or not, I cannot get over that catch that Terry Glenn made against McKenzie. That was unreal.

Also, I think the KC Flea Flicker deserves some recognition. All around beautiful.

Marion Barber 4th and 1 against the Giants in the opener in 07. That was studly.

Roy Williams INT for a TD in Philly a few years back.

Kevin Burnetts INT for a TD against the Colts.

Jason Witten Running without a helmet.

There are so many more that should be on that list.

2000 to 2005? It probably means 2006 to 2009 are coming and some of these would be there.

Wow. How'd I miss that?

This may be our down years. But it is still part of our history. I would love a video.

 

[the kid 05]

Roy Williams pick 6 against Philly, the day after Parcells lost his dad in 05.

It was his brother and it happened exactly at midnight it was awesome for Billy boy

 

[TheSport78]

How about these:

In 2002: Antonio Bryant's 4th down TD catch from Quincy Carter against Carolina

In 2004: Richie Anderson's HB TD pass to Terry Glenn @ Washington on MNF

In 2005: Anthony Henry's defensive TD against Arizona, Julius Jones' 40+ TD run @ Carolina in DECEMBER

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Emmitt Smith's run that made him the all-time leading rusher, anyone?? sheesh, i cannot believe i made it two pages and not a single person mentioned that..

also: yes, Roy's pick 6 of McNabb on MNF after Parcell's brother died.. that was a huge play and a huge win in a game that looked all but over until then..

one other thing: i really hate seeing a Cowboy fan list "Roy stuffing Emmitt" on a great plays of the decade list.. that wasn't the Packers playing Favre this year and having a reason to hate him.. that was a sad day for me as a lifelong Emmitt fan.. he was looking forward to coming home, and he suffers the biggest injury of his career, and he broke down in his postgame conference.. i was the biggest Roy fan around, and as great as that hit was, i hated seeing that..

 

[CowBoyRod]

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

'07 I believe

it was Dec 16, 2006

Its plays from the first half of the decade people!

Here are two more:

Chad Hutchinson play action bomb to Galloway who arrogantly turns around and walks backward into the end zone against Washington in 2002.

Anthony wright bomb to Jason McKnight against the Skins in 2000.

 

[Joe Realist]

Whenever Ryan Leaf threw a pass.

 

[Biggems]

the Roy Williams pick 6 in Washington

2 negative plays
Troy Aikman getting injured against Philly in his 1st game with Galloway

Emmitt breaking his hand after stiffarming a Viking on his TD run....he was on pace to break his own team record and perhaps the league record for rushing yds in a game.

The Emmitt show in Minnesota was from the 1999 season.

Yeah back when a regular season win was precious..

I'm thinking you mean Jason Tucker though I honestly don't remember the play.

James McKnight was acquired for a 3rd round pick (remember the anti-Jerry uproar?) in 1999. He then proceeded to tear his ACL and miss the entire season. Next year he was just shy of 1,000 yeards averaging almost 18 per. Left for Miami in some sort of FA shuffling as I recall. The rest is fuzzy.

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.

I don't think I'd ever been more excited about a player as I was watching that game. I thought how lucky we were to go from a great like Emmitt Smith to someone like this, with out much time in between.

I really had wished Jones would regain that, it was outstanding.
Now I'm pinning my hopes on Felix.

 

[LucaBrasi]

Drew Bledsoe's td pass to Dan Campbell (I think) to beat Kansas City late in the year in what was a back and forth game to keep playoff hope alive in 2005.

Also, Bledsoe 2 weeks later in Carolina to Terry Glenn with about 20 seconds left to beat the Panthers after Cundiff missed a chip shot but the Panthers were called for running into the kicker.

Memorable plays even if we didn't get in the playoffs in 2005. Seemed like we played every game to the wire that year.

I bumped this so you could see all of my selections for the great plays of the decade.

I know I missed some, but that is where you come in.
