What is your favorite Cowboy's Moment/Memory?

[plasticman]

Super Bowl VI

There's nothing like your first championship.

Specifically, it was Chuck Howley's INT and 40 yard return followed by Staubach's TD pass to Mike Ditka that sealed the deal

Freakin' Howley had nobody in front of him and, after running for 40 yards, he dropped in pure exhaustion. Keep in mind that the Cowboys had a reputation for finding imaginative ways to lose championship games.

I was so relieved that Staubach found Ditka for that 4th quarter TD. It erased all the talk about the Cowboys not being able to win "The Big One".

Still feel one season everything will fall into place...

Hard to see with the current track record of this front office.
I mean it's a large sample size.
27 years of futility and counting

After being a fan for 47 years it was not easy to narrow it down, but here is mine:

For me it was the 1978 Cowboy's SB victory over the Bronco's.

I was a brokenhearted kid after the Cowboys lost to the Squealers in the 1976 SB, my first season as a Cowboy's fan.

For us to win it all in such a dominating fashion was so, so sweet !

So here is a chance for a positive slow offseason thread !

Whatcha got ???

I go back as far as you,but being from Pittsburgh,I gotta say winning sb 30 has got to top my list,I was so friggin happy.

78 super bowl and the 93' super bowl.

 

[blueblood70]

far too many to choose one..last great memory's keeping it more recent

• 1996 larry brown 2 ints sealed the last sb, wow defense whats that...?
• romo throws 5 ints and still beats Buffalo
• romo nearly out duels manning with both over 500yards and a lot of scores..
• Dak Getting that playoff win against the seahawks in 18 , improbable we make the playoffs starting 3-5 and win playoff game but of course fans upset over rams game dismissing how we could have not even been in the 2nd round.
• the way we beat NE on the road walk off type ot win last season, great game of course fans here upset we didnt win more playoff games.so they dismiss the entire season 12-5 was all against bad teams ok even thought this game happened, beat the chargers , stopped win streaks of the wfts , panthers, and eagles, and other nice wins but umm ok..the 7-1 start was impressive regardless of what fans here think..look at the point differential says it was more impressive then most think. yes a disappointing playoff game but there was a lot of positives that came from last season.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson being inducted in the Dallas Cowboys ring of honor!
Oh wait....

Yep , bragging rights with the squealers fans is sweet.

 

[john van brocklin]

Wanted the team to score 60+ (******, Lett!)

Yep, Lett showboating cost us the sb scoring record !

78 super bowl and the 93' super bowl.

My first and second choices as well.
The hail Mary is up there though.

 

[McKDaddy]

I watched Tony go for 99 yards

So many memories but I was going to put this one out there as well. It was on a B\W television pulling in a signal from a distant station. I generally had to fool with the antenna & hope weather was favorable to pull in MNF at all. Running back & forth from manually turning the pole mounted antenna to the living room to see what the picture was like.

Going nuts in disbelief as Tony floated down the field while trying not to be too loud.

The Pasadena SB

 

[McKDaddy]

White to Pearson for the win against the Falcons, 30-27.

I was thinking this had to be around '79. I was about to do a search before posting.

This & Tony's 99 yarder are two of the early memories that created hero's in my mind.

This game was so intense. Probably the first game where I ever had that roller coaster ride that ended in the huge win. Company came over with like 5 minutes left to go in the game. I can't remember if they let me keep the game on because they saw how into it I was or if I "selectively" stalled turning it off. Either way, I got to see the end and remember the rush coursing thru my veins for hours.

The Pasadena SB

The flyover before the game was awesome,

 

[shabazz]

Of course all the SB wins are the best, but I really remember the nfc championship game in 94 when the Cowboys rallied desperately to try to come back from that big early deficit

It's the one game where they really let aikmann air it out without regard to the running game.

We really missed Jimmy in that game.
Still think if he had been the HC
We would have won 4 straight SBs

I think Jimmy could have had this team in the super bowl through 1998 if you consider the defensive gems he was finding in the draft for Miami during a time Jerry could barely find a starter. I'm talking about Sam Madison, Patrick Surtain, Zach Thomas, and Jason Taylor. You shuffle those guys into the defense and this teams goes as long as the triplets can play.

This is mine as well.
Landry was the first coach in Super Bowl history to be carried off the field after a victory.

 

[SlammedZero]

Of course the Super Bowl wins, but that's an obvious choice(s). So I will pick a few moments that stick out to me.

Cool!
Only one first !

It's a shame!

If there was no salary cap and Jerry/Jimmy split what the records we could have set!!!!!!!
