Worst Moments in Dallas Sports History: Texans on the list

Hey, Texans fans!

Now is your chance to vote the Opening Day loss by the Cowboys as their WORST moment in Dallas sports:

I was tempted to pick the Leon Lett Snow Bowl moment, seeing as how I was AT that game, but the chance to make the Texans loss stick was too good to pass up.

By the way, they also bash Rowdy by making him one of their nominees:

Vote 'Texans game'!

I was gonna say the same thing when I saw the pic. Wish we could make that work again w/o killing off the grass.

Field Turf! Field Turf! Field Turf!
I couldn't agree more. I'll never forget seeing the field for the first time at the open house. That was one pretty field. The grass just ain't gonna work though, unless the buy 10 fields.
 
It's Jackie Smith dropping the TD in Super Bowl XIII...no poll needed. The others are trying for (a distant) 2nd place.

Thats FUNNY! Its the FIRST thing I thought of looking at the picture... and see what posts followed... hmmm.

ITS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR RELIANT STADIUM.

No doubt. Dropping a wide open sure TD in a SB game is much worse than anything that could happen in a regular season game. Or some ninny prancing around on your logo.
 
Roger Staubach took the blame for Jackie Smith dropping that pass.

He said they never thought he'd get so open and he threw the ball too hard instead of just dropping it in there.

I think Jackie Smith is in the HOF so that hardly defines his career but it seems to be the one everybody remembers.

Worst moment in Dallas sports history?

Tom Landry being canned.

I have to agree with this one. The way Jerruh treated the coaching change was a disgrace to the cowboy franchise. I never liked the boys but I respected coach Landry.
 
come on now, the most embarresing thing that every happened was when Testaverde stepped up under his GUARD for the ball last season. :shocked

I could understand a pee wee league QB doing that but an NFL QB who had played for that many years? That has to be the all time worst, IMHO, :heh: and it didn't even make the list. :hmmm:

It definitely happened. Heck I am even a Cowboys fan after the Texans and that was a roll on the floor laughing moment. Don't remember which game though.
 
That's not unique to Vinny.

I saw Troy do the same thing in person once back years ago. Pretty funny. :)

I agree about Coach Landry. He was a wonderful person and a fine coach.

You need to. Haven't had to many exciting times.

Speak for The 'Boys, dude. We've had plenty more exciting times in the past three years than you guys have had. Even then, the majority of exciting times for the Cowboys have unfortunately been Bill Parcells' press conferences.
 
Landry was by far the best coach to ever coach. Canning this guy was horrible. I bet all Cowboys fans around the world are still crying.
 
I had season tickets the last year Coach Landry coached and you'd be surprised at the buzz in the stands over firing him...there were many that said he had lost it and needed to go. That team was horrible. I think they won something like 3 games.

I never wanted him to be fired or even quit and I certainly thought he deserved much better than he got from Jerry Jones although I do understand that Jerry wanted Jimmy and he was going to have Jimmy.

Coach Landry was a fine man. It's a shame he went out the way he did. But you know life isn't fair sometimes. When I think of Coach Landry I never think of all that but rather all the good he did not only for the Cowboys but for the league. And I leave it at that.
 
Shula was forced out of Miami too. It seems like the media love to feed on the 'when will he go' storyline when one of The Legendaries gets on up there in years, and then it only feeds on itself. A dignified retiring is almost out of the question.

Can anyone say 'Joe Pa'? He be next!

That's all you Texan fans can say about Dallas. 19-10. So what? The team who lost to the Texans was a 5-11 team. It was a disposable season. Big deal, you won 1 regular season game 3 years ago.


Honestly, I tend to agree with the Cowboy fan here. 19-10 was a great way to start 2002 and the team but it was three years ago. When you toss it out as the default answer to every Cowboy fan you run into then you make it a little less significant every time you use it.

Scoreboard is nice but if twenty years from now we're undefeated against the Cowboys but have never finished better than 7-9 then I'm not a happy fan. 19-10 was nice but I'm more interested on what the next (regular season) Texans-Cowboys score will be and whether or not that Texans team will be in the running for a playoff spot.
 
Well I have a bit of a different spin on that game...I think of that game as an embarrassing loss for a poorly coached Cowboys team; a team that didn't seem to have any fire in it at all. I'm speaking as a Cowboys fan. It was humbling to say the least.

I do feel that as a franchise of 40 years or however long the Cowboys have been around that that is ultimately just another game. They have a history if you will while the Texans are just beginning.

As for the Texans fans I certainly understand how they feel...they beat the Cowboys on national TV, it was their first game that mattered and of course being the new kids on the block they are going to remember that game with passion and pride. You can't expect them to feel any differently even 3 years later. It was the game that I think really showed Houston fans they have the start of something very nice here...a very young unproven team came out and did something special for them.

So I understand how it's still a big deal. It's ALWAYS going to be that first game in which the Texans fans and team can look back on with pride. I was embarrassed as a Cowboys fan and after awhile; after you watch a team for years you have games where you just don't see how you could have lost. That's the way I remember that game.

I know I'm in the vast minority because I like both teams but well that's my recollection of that game.

I moved to Dallas and have no doubt that we will beat them next year. On offense they are horrible. Big Bill won't submit to the fact that they are too old on that side of the ball. Although they drafted Henson they won't give him a chance and Bill has no intentions in the future of the team and doesn't care. Last year when they clearly weren't going anywhere he still wouldn't pull Vinny to give Henson quality learning experience. Last year when a been the perfect year to do it, especialy when you look at what their divisional oponents have done. The Giants have their Franchise qb in place and will benefit from the lumps they took last year. Washington has reconized they need to find their future QB, whether if it is Ramsey or the Cambell guy they drafted. The Eagles have their franchise qb in place and are the class of the division. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up becoming the celler dwellers in that division for years to come. Also they are too old and strugling at the WR position. The only thing they have going on that side of the ball is J.Jones and J. Witten. On Defense they are switching to the 3-4, but don't quite have the personell yet to run it. What are they going to do with their undersized lbs? What is going to become of Glover and how is he going to fit in that system? To many questions and not enough answers. Also If they have a couple of more down years Parcells will be leaving and that will leave them searching for yet another coach who might come in and want to change the defensive pholisiphy again and send them back where they started. If I was a Cowboy fan I would be worried.
 
Actually I think the Cowboys took a HUGE step forward this off-season.

Defense will be much better. They had a tremendous draft on the defensive side of the ball and added Ferguson who is a very nice player.

On offense Julius Jones was fantastic during his rookie year and will be fine. They added a FA running back whose name escapes me that can come in and play much better than Eddie George was. Bledsoe should be an upgrade but they do need to settle that position. Witten is an all pro. The other receivers are average so I'm not going to jump up and down about that.

And believe it or not I think if Bill has any success he might stay longer than people think. I would not have thought that after this offseason and didn't want him to but I have to hand it to him...he did a great job this offseason. They had needs and they spent the money they had too.

I feel much better going into next season than I did this last season. They had, so far, a very nice spring and summer. How it translates on the field remains to be seen as it is with any team.

I really don't get the comment that Bill "doesn't care"....if anything he's too intense. He's as intense a coach as there is in the NFL.

I didn't say Bill doesn't care I said he has no intention for the future if he did he would of gave Henson the playing time he needed or would of drafted his future qb, also I stated that J. Jones will be great and that Witten is a great player, but they have no one else on that side of the ball. The Cowboys went into the draft wanting either Spears or Ware, they luckily ended up with both of them, which should bold well for their future, great job with the draft for once in a long time they had a good draft, but the are switching to the 3-4 without having the complete personel yet. Is spears going to be their NT if not then who, Ware is going to have to learn how to play standing up and they have alot of undersized lbs. With their FA signings I don't recall any RB signing what so ever. They signed a brown cb that shows promise, but whats their answer at safety with the retirement of the great woodson (very underated player) and speaking of safeties Roy Williams strugled last year with the adsence of woodson and really strugles in defending the pass. They signed a green bay ol man that wasn't even the best FA Lineman off that team and had back surgery during the offseason. Also there are many Buffalo fans that call in on a regular basis to the local radio shows laughing at dallas for signing Bledsoe, he had one of the best running games last year and much better receivers than dallas and still couldn't get it done. Bledsoe is a younger Vinny T. and is only postponing the inevitable, they have to find a answer at the qb position.

Looks to me like you said just that...of course he cares. It's his job. He takes it seriously or he wouldn't have been so successful for all these years.

If you don't think the Cowboys have improved this offseason I can't change your mind. Surely they have question marks; I won't dispute that but they had a very nice draft by almost every expert's standards and they haven't for quite a few years.

I'm not impressed with the wideouts either.

I am positive they signed a RB this offseason from the Bears I think. He will be a big improvement over Eddie George.

I do think Bledsoe is an upgrade over Vinny. I would have played Henson also more but they didn't ask my opinion so that's Bill call. He would know more football on his worse day than I would on my best.

But to reiterate Bill does care; they made some big upgrades this offseason and it'll all play out on the field. We'll just agree to disagree I suppose.

What I mean by he has no intentions in the future is that he won't be around for the future, Parcells is a old and a aging man he has maybe a three year window and the cowboys must show success and improvment in those years for him to stay.

I also agree and have agreed before they have had a fantastic draft and it should serve them well, but they need to do that on a more consistent basis. They took two potentialy wonderful players, which have to prove they can play in the 3-4, which I think they will, especially Spears, Ware has to prove he can play standing up and with this level of competition.

If they did sign a FA rb from the bears, don't expect him to make much a difference since the bears didn't have a stout running game last year and were one of the teams to take a rb in the first round, also this is a mute point since Jones will get most of the carries anyways (don't get me wrong I love some of the players the cowboys have and jones is one of them)

I also beleive Bledsoe is a better qb, but he isn't going to be much of a difference maker. He will provide them 2 years at best, then what. Henson will be like 28 years old and back to square 1, when during that time Washington and New York will be developing the qbs for the future, again putting them behind in the division.

Worried? Nope! In due time, the Cowboys will be alright. :) I do respectfully disagree with your comments about Henson's opportunity to play. If my recollections are correct, Henson was given an opportunity to play, and Coach Parcells designed the plays in a way to save Henson's life. Hopefully, I am wrong, but at this point I see Henson in the same light as Chad Hutchinson and another individual who has become a delightful sportscaster.

The answer at safety? The answer's already on the roster, meet Keith Davis. 2004 NFL Europe All-Star (as safety) and Special-Teams standout last season for Dallas. We also have veteran cornerback Aaron Glenn as an option if no one emerges as a starter.
Incase these two dont work out, Dallas might take a look at a couple of other veterans when the June 1 cuts are announced.Two options include Corey Chavous of Minnesota and Lance Schulters of Tennessee.

About Roy Williams, he was playing out of posistion last year because of the injured Woodson. He'll be back in 2005 at the line stuffing runners like he did in 03'.
 
Speak for The 'Boys, dude. We've had plenty more exciting times in the past three years than you guys have had. Even then, the majority of exciting times for the Cowboys have unfortunately been Bill Parcells' press conferences.

We've been to the playoffs within the past 3 seasons. Have the Texans?

Landry was by far the best coach to ever coach. Canning this guy was horrible. I bet all Cowboys fans around the world are still crying.

I didn't like the way it was handled but Jerry wasn't left with many options. Landry refused to step down and refused to come in order to be told to his face. Sad to see him go? Sure. Crying because we felt he was our best option? Not even close.

I actually won a bet after Jimmy Johnson was hired. I bet we'd have a Super Bowl trophy within 5 years (only took 4) under Jimmy.

I moved to Dallas and have no doubt that we will beat them next year. On offense they are horrible. Big Bill won't submit to the fact that they are too old on that side of the ball. Although they drafted Henson they won't give him a chance and Bill has no intentions in the future of the team and doesn't care.

So based on how our offense looked in '04, you can tell how we'll be in '06 (after two offseasons and two drafts)? Amazing.

Washington has reconized they need to find their future QB, whether if it is Ramsey or the Cambell guy they drafted.

If Ramsey is the answer, why draft Campbell? If Campbell is the answer, how is he proven?

Also they are too old and strugling at the WR position.

Funny how at the beginning of '04, many (outside of Dallas) thought with Johnson, Glenn and Bryant the strength of the offense would be the WR position. Replace Bryant with Morgan and tack on another year for Johnson and Glenn and suddenly it's weak.

On Defense they are switching to the 3-4, but don't quite have the personell yet to run it.

We're not switching to the 3-4 full time. In '05 we'll run a mix of both.

[qutoe]What are they going to do with their undersized lbs?[/quote]

I don't know...keep sending them to Hawaii each February?

What is going to become of Glover and how is he going to fit in that system?

With added depth, he won't have to worry about playing 70 snaps a game. That will help his stamina throughout the season. In the 4-3, he'll play his normal DT position. In the 3-4, he could play either (how well he plays has yet to be determined).

The Cowboys went into the draft wanting either Spears or Ware, they luckily ended up with both of them, which should bold well for their future, great job with the draft for once in a long time they had a good draft, but the are switching to the 3-4 without having the complete personel yet

If you compared the drafts between our two teams over the past 3 years, you might be surprised.

Is spears going to be their NT if not then who

Spears will play DE in both schemes. Jason Ferguson (FA signee from the Jets) will play NT.

Ware is going to have to learn how to play standing up

After playing some OLB in college, how will this be a problem?

and they have alot of undersized lbs.

Kevin Burnett - 6'2, 240
Ryan Fowler - 6'3, 245
Bradie James - 6'2, 240
Dat Ngyuen - 5'11, 243
Keith O'Neil - 6'0, 230
Scott Shanle - 6'2, 245
Al Singleton - 6'2, 228
Kalen Thornton - 6'3, 250

I see two that I might classify as "undersized". O'Neil and primarily a special teams player. Dat Ngyuen has been to the Pro Bowl. I don't think his lack of ideal height has hurt his career. That's two out of 8. Not exactly what I would call "a lot".

They signed a brown cb that shows promise, but whats their answer at safety with the retirement of the great woodson (very underated player) and speaking of safeties Roy Williams strugled last year with the adsence of woodson and really strugles in defending the pass.

We've added Anthony Henry as well as Aaron Glenn. The secondary is already improved.

With Woodson's retirement, Williams will move to his natural position of SS (replacing Woodson). That leaves the FS spot open...the easiest position on the defense to replace. And we still have the June 1st cuts to go. And besides, who said we needed to answer every question on our defense in one year? Your OL still sucks. What did the Texans do to improve on that?

I also agree and have agreed before they have had a fantastic draft and it should serve them well, but they need to do that on a more consistent basis. They took two potentialy wonderful players, which have to prove they can play in the 3-4, which I think they will, especially Spears, Ware has to prove he can play standing up and with this level of competition.

What rookie from this past draft doesn't have to prove they can play in this league? "Potentially" we took 8 wonderful players. It's how they end up that matters.

If they did sign a FA rb from the bears, don't expect him to make much a difference since the bears didn't have a stout running game last year and were one of the teams to take a rb in the first round, also this is a mute point since Jones will get most of the carries anyways (don't get me wrong I love some of the players the cowboys have and jones is one of them)

Anthony Thomas is an upgrade over Eddie George. There is absolutely no reason to debate this. Besides, we're taking about depth behind Julius Jones. A player that many feel will have a great future. If Thomas doesn't pan out, then we drafted Marion Barber as well.

I also beleive Bledsoe is a better qb, but he isn't going to be much of a difference maker. He will provide them 2 years at best, then what. Henson will be like 28 years old and back to square 1, when during that time Washington and New York will be developing the qbs for the future, again putting them behind in the division.

I don't agree that Bledsoe is better than Vinny. I think it's a push at best. But how would we be "back to square 1" if Henson is 28? Are you suggesting that he'd be past his prime and we'd be back to looking for a QB of the future? 2 years from now David Carr will be 28. Will it be time for the Texans to start looking again?

Those might not be the answers you were looking for.
 
I don't care how you spin it Jerry showed NO class by the way he handled the matter with Coach Landry. I personally don't feel it was Coach Landry's place to come to Jerry but rather the other way around.

I know that Coach Landry, being a Christian man, never said anything about it other than he was disappointed. I know for a fact that many of his ex-players held and still do hold that firing against Jerry Jones. And I don't blame them really. It was a terrible way to treat Coach Landry; he deserved much better.
 
WWJD said:
I finally got off my duff and looked it up. They signed Anthony Thomas from the Bears.


If Anthony Thomas sees much playing time, you're going to have a bad season. He is not a short yardage back. In his career, he has a horrible 1 yard conversion rate. Barber will see more playing time than Thomas, if healthy. Who are we kidding, though, the success of the Dallas offense will depend on Julius Jones and the health of the OL.
 
Well sure.

With Bill Parcells it's always going to be run first. The offense will go if Julius is going. They'll probably try to get Witten going as well. He's a definite threat. I don't know anything about their new backs but they HAVE to be better than Eddie George was.

Maybe I have the story wrong. From what I've read/heard, Jerry wanted to tell him face to face. Landry refused to come in and the decision was made without him being present. Landry might have heard that he was fired through the media but he already knew beforehand.

Do I have that wrong?
 
I am not sure of the exact story and relying on a poor memory but I do believe that Coach Landry was on his way to Austin or in Austin at a golf function and he was told that he was fired. I do not know if he was asked to go see Jones or not; I do not remember if Jerry tried to go see him in Austin but I think not.

I do remember that Jerry and Jimmy had a well publicized dinner at a restaurant and that Jerry made some comments that Jimmy was going to be his coach.

The bottom line is that Jerry should have waited till he could have meet with Coach Landry face to face; he could have waited to be seen in public with Jimmy. As it was I think it was handled very poorly and with no regard for Coach Landry or his feelings. It was Jerry's place to make all those arrangements and not Coach Landry's.

And of course Tex left the next year because he couldn't stomach Jones....

Maybe Jerry didn't intend things to happen the way they did but he was irresponsible and uncaring. He jumped the gun. I know many players such as Bob Lilly and even Roger came out publicly and said they didn't think Coach Landry was treated fairly.
 
Never argue with a Cowboys fan about their owner, because 3 championships ALWAYS justifies whatever Jerry Jones is about.

I don't knock real Cowboys fans (you know, the ones that actually live in or within a 100 miles of Dallas), but most of them remind me of Yankees fans. Full support when winning, and absent during losing seasons.

Matter-of-fact, I haven't seen any Cowboys gear around these parts in quite awhile now.

Of course it's because of winning championships, but the Cowboys and Yankees have to take the prize for most bandwaggoners in a given sport. The problem for the rest of us is how in the heck do you sort them out?
 
Just for the record because I'm wondering if the jabs weren't directed to me...I spent most of my life in Dallas. Part of my childhood here but most there.

I don't really care who likes what team. I have a friend in California and his favorite team is the Steelers and he's never been out of California. So whatever floats your boat. People have their own dislikes and likes and that's their business and I don't separate them into "real" fans or otherwise. If others do that's fine.

I'll always be a Cowboys fan;always have been. I had season tickets when they went 1-15 so if that doesn't make me a "real" fan I don't know what will. I like the Texans alot and not necessarily because I live in the area. I'd like them anyway. I'll always be a Texans fan too.

Hold on a second, did you just say real Cowboy fans live within 100 miles of Dallas? I have a hard time understanding you. I'm from Austin,TX, and I am a real Dallas Cowboys fan. I've never lived in Dallas, but I cheer for my state team, and that team is the Dallas Cowboys. I bleed Silver And Blue and dedicate my life every fall for the Cowboys. Are you saying every Houston fan that doesnt live within 100 miles within Houston are REAL Texan fans? Take some of your moderators for example, (ArlingtonTexan and gwallaia), they live more than 100 miles away from Houston, but they're still real Houston Texan fans, just ask the person who named them moderators.
I myself cheer for the real Texas football team (one that has never folded and relocated).

Let me tell you, everybody I talk to (in Austin) about football, hates the Cowboys, they hate The Star, they hate Jerry Jones, and think our stadium is trash. There's no bandwagon jumping from what I can see.
But hey, I can't help the Cowboy's from being the most popular team in the U.S.A EVEN AFTER the three straight 5-11 seasons. I honestly wouldnt call these out of state guys bandwagon jumpers, because apparently they still like the Cowboys even after the 5-11 seasons (see 2002 Sports Illustrated poll, Who's your favorite NFL team )

BTW, WWJD is a Cowboy fan.

I honestly wouldnt call these out of state guys bandwagon jumpers, because apparently they still like the Cowboys even after the 5-11 seasons (see 2002 Sports Illustrated poll, Who's your favorite NFL team )

BTW, WWJD is a Cowboy fan.

ok ur living in the 90s if u still think the cowboys are the most popular team in America. Heck they arent even Americas team and as we all know they arent Texas's team. Sure yall had ur glory days with E. Smith, Aikman, Irving, Sanders. But those days are long gone, America has a new team and a new fav, the patriots, and TEXAS has us, so who needs Dallas !?!?!?!?!?!? :highfive:
