It was a roller coaster.

I "DID NOT" expect to be down by 14 points!
I "DID NOT" expect Bailey to miss a filed goal...

There were moments, early in that game when I was very..........."down" just "down"

But, even then, I sort of knew. sensed it. There was no way this "Crowd" and the team was going to fold......no way in ****


But..................it was close. 14-0 and they get a fluke play or something and they go up 21 -0 and..... thats hard to come back from. For any team!

Then it happened. Like the Boys have been doing all year long.....slowly, methodically....going to work. shifting emotion, momentum.... then breaking out for Great plays and Touchdowns!

We won....and I was emotionally drained after that game!!!


On to Green Bay brother , on to Green Bay. Back to work.

I was never down. I was too busy thinking about our 1st TD coming getting us right back in it.


Completely agree with the rest. 14-0 was doable

21-0 or 21-3 I felt their defense would go nuts on us. So I was just watching and hoping they didn't get that 3rd TD.

The momentum swing came and never really swung back to them.

I cried too. lol! Part of it IS living in enemy territory. It's just such vindication for what you have to put up with, listen to and deal with. So I totally get that!!! For me my emotions are caught up because this is my father's team. And this is the first winning season he's not here for. So my emotions are definitely tied up with the team. I'm so glad you had an awesome time. And you should be proud that you earned your money and spent it on something that means so much to you! Keep working hard and I'm sure you'll get to go to more games! Congrats and I'm glad you had the time of your life and VINDICATION!

I've got a friend that I have known since he was 10, .. now he is a freshman in college, .. he is a huge Cowboys fan. I just spoke to him last Wednesday while he was home on Christmas break.

He has never seen Cowboys success. I texted him today and he is thrilled to death!

I am so happy for the young Cowboy fans, .. I hope they get to celebrate another Super Bowl win with Romo and Witten.

That's so awesome man. Being there and experiencing that. I go every year w my wife my dad and mom. It's always a great time win or lose but that feeling the playoffs must have been exhilarating. I just hope to keep this train rolling and hopefully the panthers pull off the shocker and we beat Green Bay and have another home game

Being 26, I've never cried over a Cowboys game. I've come close, but yesterday was the first time I shed tears, and they were tears of joy.

I shared two days ago that I did the stadium tour and it was one of the better days in my existence, well last night was the best night of my life.

I am as die hard as they come. The things I go through living in Phila as a Cowboys fan I wouldn't wish on anyone. That is part of the reason why I cried. It feels that much better when you win after having to go through what I do. I've lost friends over this football stuff, people choose to make remarks about me, my family, and my personal well being over this stuff. I would tell you here where no Eagles fan can see if I provoke these jabs, but I dont. It just comes with the territory.

This trip cost me nearly half my bank account, that is another third of why I cried. I took this trip alone, and stayed at an awful hotel and picked flights with cheap layovers just to make this game. I have never spent money so well in my life.

The final third of why I cried was because as mentioned In another thread, if you're in my age range you never experienced glory with this team. For some of you who have witnessed it all, im sure yesterday was nice but nothing compared to what you have felt in the past. Yesterday was my mini Super Bowl. I cried when Tony took the final kneel. I wish I could share the video but there are expletives. The way in which they won, to be losing for 56 mins to then pull it out, ontop of the other reasons above, it was only right to let my emotions go.

The experience: amazing. I told you I sunk almost half my bank account, I paid a steep price for my ticket. I sat in sec. 205. The people around me were amazing. We hugged, shook hands, fist bumped, chest bumped, you name it we did it all game. My section never lost hope and we were loud as hell. I sat and was quiet maybe 5% of the game.

All in all folks, I go home broke, but can say it was truly the best weekend of my life. My flight got delayed big time back home, and I don't even care as I write this in DFW. It was a wonderful feeling being able to share happy sentiments with people at the game. I've never been in a room with more then 3 Cowboys fans, that's not a joke. Thank you for allowing me to share this. I don't know any of you personally, and I know I'm not a famous poster on this site, but thank you and Go Cowboys.

Congrats to you... Coming from Philly I know what you deal with....

Great you now have this experience in your memory bank. Many of us have a few more life yrs and Boys experience under our belts than you, but the great thing is you are one of us with your " heartfelt spirit".

Go Cowboys...
