SonOfWashington Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Couldn't pick just one. My lifetime, obviously the 2 miracle wins in 05 and 06. Before my time, Darryl Grant's INT TD, Houston's stop on the 2, and Darrell Green chasing down Dorsett, among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoasthog Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sean Taylor stopping Patrick "Cray-on" in the second of the 2005 season. That will always be my favorite play! Those 2 TD catches mean nothing without the stop. Besides, do you remember how far the ball flew out of his hands after the hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVCChairman Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Sean Taylor picking up the blocked field goal and when everyone says "go down" runs it back putting us in position to win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Agree.Also, you have to include the tipped pass by Dexter Manley in the 1982 NFC Championship where Darryl Grant catches it and runs it in for a TD that clinches the win. That would have been my vote. Bingo!!!! For us older folks that was the most memorable moment in Redskins/Dallas History. Period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF4L Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Other ==> Darryl Grant high stepping into the end zone for the clinching TD in the '82 NFC Championship game against the 'Boys. We then went on to beat Miami in the SB on Riggo's run. If you were around to see that game, you'd know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qdeathstar Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 This sequence of events never happened last year... I don't know where you pulled this out of, nor do I want to know. Lies (I meant the cowboys were kicking the field goal, though) Joe Gibbs watched his Washington Redskins go from blowing a chance for a last-minute victory over the Dallas Cowboys to preventing a last-minute loss to, somehow, pulling out a win with no time left on the clock. "Gosh," the Hall of Fame coach said, "I don't know if I've experienced anything like that."

"It's a short walk from the outhouse to the penthouse," Novak said. "This is what a kicker dreams about. There are ups and downs, and this was the up." Between Novak's low and high, Dallas kicker Mike Vanderjagt's chance to win it -- a 35-yarder with 6 seconds left -- was blocked by Troy Vincent. The ball bounced around until Sean Taylor picked it up and made a weaving, tackle-busting return into Dallas territory as time expired. Dallas' Kyle Kosier was flagged for a facemask penalty on the return, tacking on another 15 yards -- and meaning regulation would continue for one more play. Novak came through this time, sneaking the ball inside the right upright. With his arms up, Novak ran about 50 yards back downfield, and several of his teammates piled on top of him, led by Vincent. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20061105028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm going with We Want Dallas. The Moss thing was great, but it's overrated on this forum.

Indiana_Skins_Fan Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 We Want Dallas! We Want Dallas! Absolutely the pinnacle in my memory. I bet many "old-timers" recall this like I do...chanting at home along with the fans at the game. I'll bet there wasn't a single outside location in the DC Metro area where you couldn't hear this chant coming from the apartments, houses, bus terminals, department stores, etc. I will never forget that moment!

kingarthur65 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Other: Ken Houston stopping Dorsett on the 2 yd line to win the game. This is definitely my favorite single play against the Cowboys, but I wouldnt expect most of you kids on this board to remember that play. Just to let you know, it was Walt Garrison on the 1 yard line not Tony Dorsett on the 2... and this was the last play of the game.. and Walt Garrison was one of the better RB's in the league at the time... and Kenny Houston pulled him down from behind AT THE 1 YARD LINE. If you put this in your poll, I would be interested to see the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox59 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Good thread but you should limit the choices to one play...for example, to me the second Moss TD would be a good choice. And you forgot to mention perhaps the most memorable play of them all. Does this look familiar to anyone?

WorldBFree76 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well from what I've seen live (which isn't much) I'd have to say the second Moss touchdown. I don't think I've jumped higher in my life after that touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Not only were Santana's 2 TD catches the best ever plays against the cowboys, they rank #1 in my sports experiences, because me and my two buds were "Looking Live" and in person at Texas Stadium (WHAT A DUMP!!!), that night! By far and away the best walk out of a stadium I have ever taken! A close second would be the chaotic final minutes and field goal winner by Novak!!! :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I am getting old, but I remember a big stop by Ken Houston on Walt Garrison to save the game on Monday Night. :helmet: that's the one! has my vote also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Houston and Dorsett played at different times, thanks for trying though. I meant Walt Garrison.

Khun Kao Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I'm going with We Want Dallas. The Moss thing was great, but it's overrated on this forum. We didn't even really go anywhere that year...it was just cool and all. WWD is a fanbase all on the same wavelength. I've witnessed every single play being discussed on this forum, with the exception of the George Allen era moments (I was too young to remember these plays, but I guarentee I was sitting with my Dad watching them!). The Moss play is most definitely NOT overrated! That was one of the truly greatest events in the history of this rivalry! We didn't really go anywhere that year? Were you even watching the team that year? We were 1 play (and 1 key injury) away from the NFC Championship Game in the 2nd year of Joe Gibbs v 2 tenure!
