Summary: Dallas Cowboys 10 Greatest Games
Comment: Must have for a True Cowboys fan. I would like to suggest if there is a volume 2. They should include A couple of Redskin games. Other than that i was very happy.

Summary: You know ahead of time the games included
Comment: While I agree there should be a version two, I ordered with full knowledge of the games included and I am excited to re-live these great games! There are just too many great games to get them all on this one disk and that is not Warner Brothers fault. These games were all big moments in Cowboy history and I'm having a blast watching them for the first time in decades. The only way set 2 will be released is if set 1 is a success and seems counterproductive to downgrade this set when for games you know in advance aren't included. What I got was 10 great games and would love to see 10 more!

Summary: Not our 10 greatest!
Comment: If I was to select our 10 greatest, I would have to select the Super Bowl wins even if I would much prefer to have other games since I have the 90's Super Bowl victories in my personal library. Lets just find 5. Okay, so of the choices we had, I agree with two. The 1975 stunning, thrilling victory over the Minnesota Vikings that features one of our greatest moments ever, the 'Hail Mary'! And one of my personal favorites the 1980-81 fourth quarter comeback over Atlanta. What makes both of these games so memorable was the improbable finishes and the fact they both were on the road in the playoffs!
For the final three choices I wouldnt have selecting any of the championship games. Why? Well, most of these games are in circulation or they were played in a time when we could tape them or you can simply find these games anywhere but I want to point out that it doesnt erase their significance. But if I was to choose anyone of the three it would have been the '92 NFC championship game @ San Francisco and stunned the 49ers 11 years after 'The Catch'. We did to them what they did to us a decade earlier! The other championship games were almost expected and thus is why I have a short, abbreviated list that could have ben considerd.
When you think of our history, we have to include our equalibrium, The Redskins! There have been so many memorable games and the most notable ones that should have been considered are: 1974 Thanksgiving comeback with Clint Longley! An obvious top ten if Super Bowls arent added. One that makes my list was Staubach's last regular season game vs. Washington in 1979. Less than 10 seconds to go Staubach pulls it out 35-34! That is a no-brainer. Extremely disappointed it didnt make the list! 1983 season opener @ RFK against the defending Super Bowl champion Redskins. We were down 23-3 at the half and won it 31-30! To this day it is our greatest comeback ever and its the Redskins. Its tough not to include that one. This game actually features a 77- yard run by Dorsett only to have ben caught from behind by Hall of Fame rookie Darrell Green, the 'fastest man in football'. A personal favorite of mine was from 1988. We went 3-13 that year and we went into RFK and beat the 'Skins 24-17 in what would be Tom Landry's 270th and final victory! How sweet is that! This game features a rookie Wide Receiver by the name of Michael Irvin who actually scores 3 Touchdowns. 1991 we march into RFK and beat, again, the defending Super Bowl champion 'Skins who, by the way, were 11-0 going into the game! Again, how incredibly sweet is that!?
We've had equally just as many memorable games vs. the Eagles: 1980 home finale @ Texas Stadium was a game we had to win by, at least, 17 points. Many dont know its importance in our history, but to diehard Cowboy fans it was a huge game and very memorable. Eagles pretty much had their way with us until 1991 and a late season game @ The Vet. We beat the Eagles and their stranglehold they had on us and clinched a playoff berth with that win. It ended a 6- year playoff drought for the Cowboys and the Cowboys of the 90's first playoff appearance! Again, it was a rivalry game and on the road and a significant moment in our history.
I cant ommitt The importance of Emmitt and shouldering the load in a 1993 division clinching and home field advantage win @ New York. Without Emmitt playing with a seperated shoulder, which is unimaginable, we might not even play in Super Bowl XXVIII! That game makes this list on Emmitt's heart! I have to go back 8 year now and mention a game that was played in 1985 vs. New York. We werent supposed to win the division but we did and in this game we pulled out the division on the strength of a patented 'Too Tall' batted ball. Too Tall batted down a Phil Simms pass right into the hands of Jim Jeffcoat who then rumbled half a football field and more to help preserve the division championship and the game, 28-21. We have had unbelievable wins against our rivals and even against inferior opponents like New Orleans. Twice from my recollection. Both wins occurred when our defense sacked Saints QB's in the endzone one resulting in a Safety to win 21-20 (we were down 20-19). And the other a fumble recovered in the endzone from that sack. Back to back years in '83 and '84. But that just touches a few in countless other wins not even mentioned over our storied history. I recommend Time Warner and NFL Films to release a 2nd edition.
With all that I mentioned here, the ONE game that absolutely has to be part of this would be that 1979 finale vs. Washington. Before the game the 'Skins had placed a wreath in the Cowboys locker room symbolizing their 'death'! After the game Harvey Martin 'visited' the 'Skins locker room and threw it right at them. Now that would be nice bonus material! I think the majority of Cowboy fans would agree that this game is missing.

Summary: A great start but I need more Staubach
Comment: As a 39 yr old fan and one for as long as I could remember this is a great volume. It is nice to actually see Super Bowl 7 even though the quality is poor. I want more games! We need the 1979 game against Washington; the Clint Longley Thanksgiving Day game against Washington; The 1993 Giants game were Emmitt injures his shoulder; the 1999 opener against Washington when Aikman throws that bomb to Rocket; and even last years Monday Night Game against Buffalo where Romo brings the `boys back.

Summary: DALLAS COWBOYS 10 GREATEST GAMES WE NEED A VOL 2 AND 3
Comment: Not a bad choice of games, but not the best choices!! The 5 Super Bowl Victories that goes without saying they need to be there although Super Bowl VI has poor quality and looks like a public access High School Game but what can you expect from 1972 Technology??? SBXII gets better, 27, 28, and 30 CRYSTAL CLEAR!! Now to comment on the other games in this pack.
VS Atlanta in the 1981 playoffs??? That is not exactly the 1st of great games when think Cowboys. Drew Peason the hail mary good choice but save it for a volume 2. All the NFC Championships in the 90s vs 49ERS and Packers GREAT, but what about the NFC Championships of the 70's ve the 49ERS RAMS and Vikings???
NO REDSKINS GAMES!!!! Thats bad, there had better be a volume 2!!! 1974 Thanksgiving, 1979 Staubachs last game, 1983 coming back for a 23-3 halftime deficit, 1985 Happy BDay Theismann 44-14, 1992 Opening Night 23-10, 1999 41-35 in OT, JUST TO NAME A FEW, there is a lot of Thanksgiving and Monday Nights to consider
NO GIANT GAMES!!! The 16-13 in 1994 (93 Season) when Emmitt cracked his shoulder is worth mentioning, or the 35-0 Opening Night Game when they retired Simms Jersey in 95, or better yet the OT Game in 2003 35-32 when the Tuna returned to Meadowlands as New Dallas Coach!! Come on!!!
NO EAGLE Games!!! 34-10 in the 92 Playoffs and 30-11 in the 95 Playoffs when Deion has that crazy touchdown!!!
OK NFL FILMS GET STARTED, I GAVE YOU ENOUGH INPUT TO MAKE 2 MORE VOLUMES GET TO IT!!!
