This was one of those moments

[MWH1967]

Looking back, what were some of the defining moments that stick out in your mind when you think about our Cowboys past?

I'll start here with a couple. Please add.

The Giants game when Emmitt played with 1 arm.

A game against the Niners where Erik Williams basically took over the game which I had never seen from an OLinman. He was flattening not only his guy, but was knocking down other defenders like bowling pins. They drove from one of the the field to the other for a TD and it was almost all runs on the entire drive. Emmitt had massive openings all day. EW ended up breaking the leg of one of their DLinemen.

Watching the complete dismantling of the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills by the Cowboys in SB 27 and then remembering them showing Bills fans before the game filing into the stadium screaming "This is our year! Go Buffalo!"
The perfect strike thrown by Roger to Tony Hill for a TD to complete the remarkable comeback victory over the HATED Commanders.
The awesome diving catch by Butch Johnson in SB 12 as Doomsday crushed the Orange Crush.

Larry Brown sealing Super Bowl XXX.
Romo throwing 5 picks against the Bills and the Boys still pulling out the win.
Witten's helmetless gallop.
Emmitt taking the alltime rushing crown.
The Wattmiss TD.

Does anyone remember the game{ I think I still have it on VHS somewhere} It was against the Eagles I want to say around 91{?} when Emmitt ran wild on the Eagles on a wet field. Over 200 yards rushing and we let the Eagles know there was a new sheriff in town.

That was Halloween night 1993. 4pm est game. Emmitt ran for 237.

Aikman to Harper 1992 NFC championship.

Emmitt Smith separated shoulder game January 2, 1994.

Aikman to Rocket opening day 1999.

Beating the 11-0 undefeated Washington Commanders at old RFK in 1991.

Thanksgiving day 1990. First time I thought we were really turning the corner.

No call on Deion Sanders for blanently obvious pass interference in the 1994 NFC championship game.

 

[BoysFanInAustin]

Beating the 11-0 Skins at RFK in 1991. Jimmy gambling going for it on 4th downs, onside kicks, downfield passing to Harper. Dallas winning out the rest of that season with Beuerlein at QB including the wild card game gave them a lot to build off of for 1992. Hoping for similar results for 2015!

Emmitt going about 80 yards against the Commanders, then throwing up. I knew then we had a big-time running back who just needed to lay off the latest sports drinks.

Aikman to Harper 1992 NFC championship.

That play which is arguably the second greatest play in the history of the franchise second only to the Hail Mary set the tone for the Cowboys 3 SB wins in the 90's.

 

[Szczepanik]

I just wish Gramatica ever once lifted weights in his life. If he had the strength to even nudge the Seattle player, Romo would of walked in as a hero.

First time I've ever seen anyone point some of the blame at Gramatica for not making a block.

Watching the complete dismantling of the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills by the Cowboys in SB 27 and then remembering them showing Bills fans before the game filing into the stadium screaming "This is our year! Go Buffalo!"

I remember Thurman Thomas not being able to find his helmet before going back into the game at some point.

I thought was Super Bowl 26 when Buffalo played Washington.

I thought was Super Bowl 26 when Buffalo played Washington.

Maybe I just remember the announcers in the 1st Buffalo-Dallas Super Bowl going on about the story.

 

[DFWJC]

First time I've ever seen anyone point some of the blame at Gramatica for not making a block.

About the 100th time I've see it.

But the fumble was on the holder--as you so excitedly point out every chance you get 9 years later--any mistakes after that were secondary

Funny thing is Gramatica attempted to nudge him but the defender got by him quickly and he had virtually no time to react. Watch the replay everything happened so quickly I don't even believe Gramatica realized Romo was running with the ball.

 

[CowboyGil]

I remember Thurman Thomas not being able to find his helmet before going back into the game at some point.

I also remember my sister's birthday fell on that Sunday. We had a cake decorated like a football field complete with goalposts and players. At halftime I went and turned the players wearing red & blue upside down, burying them up to their shoulders in the cake.

 

[Plankton]

I remember Thurman Thomas not being able to find his helmet before going back into the game at some point.

That was Super Bowl XXVI against the Commanders. Thomas initially blamed Kenneth Davis for hiding it.

 

[DenCWBY]

Pasadena Super Bowl against Buffalo. The Ken Norton stuffs RB Kenneth Davis at the goal line. IMO that was the defensive turning point in the game that started the onslaught. Awesome tackle!!
