Who else remembers the last Cowboys/Lions MNF game?

[Race Bannon]

12 men on the field. I was there.

12 for them or for us? I'm guessing the QB spike was illegal then with the feverish effort to get the kick away in the waning time. Murray was a rock solid kicker for like 20 years IIRC.

12 for them. The league later acknowledged that the play should've been ruled dead before the kick. Some consolation.

Yeah, he had 40 carries for 194 yards.

40'carries they obviously weren't trying to keep him fresh

Game was at the Pontiac Silverdome yes? Would explain the Almighty's deferred judgement without his "window" into Texas stadium. Lol.

Nope, they wanted to use him as much as it took to get the W.......and the game went into OT.

One of my earlier Cowboy memories was a game in '81 in which Eddie Murray pierced my 8 year old heart with a frantic FG as time expired. I remember praying in church that morning for a Cowboys victory. It fell on deaf ears that Sabbath. If memory serves Murray later kicked for the Boys as an elder statesman in the league.

What I remember about that game is that we went up 17-0 in the first quarter and it looked like it was going to be a blowout. Well, the momentum changed and we couldn't get it back. The Lions kicked that FG with 12 men on the field and it should have cost the Lions the game but the refs missed it and we lost.

That loss cost us home field advantage to the Niners and that led to us going to Candlestick and losing on the Dwight Clark catch.

Yeah, but lets limit Zeke to 22 carries.

 

[Thomas82]

Yeah, but lets limit Zeke to 22 carries.

I sure hope we don't limit him on Monday night, especially if the running game is working.

Check out these clips I found from this game:

That's quite the concatenation. After dispensing with Hitler, I would go back to '81 to right that wrong; had I means of time travel.

Barry just disrespected us all night. No answers.

Don't take too hard... he did that to a lot of teams. The guy who should be embarrassed is Tony Casillas:
