Ew remember when rg3 was talking to Tony after a tough loss like rg 3 was this respected figure in the league lol that dude NEVER could throw good . I'm good at prognosticating I wanted Antonio brown in the draft
Oh, I had forgotten about that. That was some serious cringe-worthy material.

For some reason I thought back to the beginning of the Seahawk game. We had just recieved the kick-off after they went up 3-0 and I remember thinking to myself while the Cowboy's offense walked up to the line how loud it was in that stadium................and I was sitting at home in my living room.

Can't believe we pushed them around like we did because I never thought we could do it.

That's why it's less scary to play huge games this year. Our offense is legit and relies less on backyard ****. More plays work more consistently for us. Less hit and miss ****.

We're even odds with anyone rn . But we have been a tad lucky lately too .

The Williams catch was obviously a key play but in terms of a season-defining play? I'd go with the Murray touchdown when he carried Sherman into the end zone and put the game out of reach. The physical nature of that play, including the dominant run blocking of the line, and the fact that it isolated our star RB against the defending SB champion's most outspoken, recognizable player really set the tone for the rest of the season and gave the team a clear identity.

Eli's gift wrapped INT to Barry Church signaling that finally some breaks were going our way.....

That whole last drive we came out in a two tight end formation and we ran it down the reigning SB champion's throats and Seattle could not stop us.

The drive against the eagles after they had gone up 24-21. The crowd was going berserk . They had just shown jeff lurie and his posse singing fly eagles fly on the television broadcast and tony led the boys straight down the field like they were on a scrimmage. I said to myself we got this!

Chronologically:

1) R McClain ridiculous interception against TN. Opened up my eyes to the fact that yes, this guy is for real and here to play. Dallas wins convincingly after looking like doo doo in the opener.

2) Cowboys match biggest comeback in team history against Rams. Need I say more?

3) Smack around the Saints on Sunday night. First real signal to the doubters that we're not the same team as last year. The looks on Sean Payton's and Drew Brees's faces in the 4th qtr was priceless.

4) Pulling out a tough OT win against Houston. Romo owns Watt, Dez owns overtime. Now we're on a roll.

5) Bully and beat Seattle in Seattle? Is this reality? 5th win in a row, hottest team in the league.

6) Whoop up on the Giants like it ain't no thang. SIX consecutive wins? Haters are now confused and slackjawed, fans are happy.

7) Reality check. Back-to-back losses for the only time this season. We are not invincible. Romo injured. How will we respond? Many fans are holding breath awaiting collapse mode-

8) Nice bounce back in London, making a lesser team look like the lesser team that they are.

9) Gutsy win over rival Giants to complete the 2014 sweep. They officially have not beaten us since 2012.

10) Thanksgiving day depression. Media and haters are salivating over this loss as the kick off of the inevitable Cowboys' late season collapse.

11) DECEMBER. 3-0. Division clinched. Opponents out scored 121-62. O my lord this sure turned out a lot different than a lot of people thought, now didn't it?

That moment seriously irritates me. When I saw it I was thinking who does this kid think he is?

The Seattle game was it for me. That's when this all seemed for real. To top it off, it was my birthday- Thanks Cowboys.

Whoever posted the replay above of Twill making that 3 and 20 catch and saying he must have long feet- thanks for making me laugh.
I want to watch a game with that guy.

Many defining moments, but it had to be the TWill catch in Seattle, and that entire game. Not only that catch, but the throw also, and Romo eluding the pass rush.
I don't think people, fans, including some Cowboys fans, media, pundits, on the fence haters, believed this year could be different until that game.

We had a bad 1st half against SF, then beat the Titans that went into KC and beat them. Some had the Titans beating us, but after we won, they then back tracked and said, well the Titans suck.
Down by 21 against the Rams, on the road, came back to win, and they said, well, the Rams suck. Then destroyed the Saints, but yet people said, well, they suck this year, haven't beat anyone.

Beat the Texans that most thought we would lose too, and Tony punks Watt, and throws a great TD to TWill, then the passes to Dez, and his OT catch. Yes, Watt was punked....
People still weren't believing.
They did after that next game in Seattle.

Hit a rough spot, but bounced back, bit of a challenge from the giants, but had control in the end. Then the Commanders game, lost Romo for a game., won against a team we should have in London.
Again, a challenge at NY, but we hung in there, didn't give up. Showed why this team is different.

Then after the NFL schedule doofusses laughed at what they did to us, and the T-Day debacle. This team said, well, ok, we now know what we need to do. And went to Chicago to get revenge from last year, went to Philly to get revenge from T-Day, then seized the chance at winning the division when needed to by obliterating the Colts.

No backing down, no giving up, sticking to the game plan.....staying with the PROCESS....many moments that defined this team to date.

To nominate another TWill-Romo play would be the TD catch where he eludes JJ Watt before unleashing a 60-yard bomb into the endzone.

Yeah, not the most important play of the season, but definitely one of the coolest and most memorable moments. I think it also served notice that Romo still had some Jedi moments left in this league.

Terrence Williams tip toe catch against the Seahawks.

Two moments for me.

1. When we we're taking it to Seattle.
2. Assorted moments, but same exact feeling, any fame during 6 game win streak. As bad as it got during any one of those games. I felt like, in the end, we would still win the games.

For me it's the Commanders laying Romo out. I right away thought the season was over, and in the moment didn't know if Romo would ever play again (at the time, it looked certain to be related to his back surgery).

That's the moment I most remember-- that without Romo we're nothing.
