On a side note happy thanksgiving to all you guys here. This is my favorite message board and you all are mainly the reason why




I honestly feel we have a win win this yr

Cowboys win, then hey, maybe the tiny amount of fandom that lies dormant within will be happy with a W on the holiday

If cowboys lose, another prime time loss to a division rival on garretts resume, hopefully inching him closer to the door

Oh and lets add to this nugget that the first 17 years Landry coached they played a 14 game schedule, making it even more impressive.

This is from Washington-Dallas, Thanksgiving Day 1990. This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving games ever, because it was kinda the game we officially announced "we've arrived". We had upset the Rams the previous week in LA and were 4-7, we'd then upset the heavily favored Redskins (who advanced to the divisional round in the playoffs later this yr) and win 2 more games in a row to get to 7-7 before Aikman got hurt early in the 15th game vs Philly. A win in either game would have got us in the playoffs but Babe Laufenberg was horrendous and we lost to Philly and Atl.

This was Emmitt's rookie yr and this Turkey Day game was his then career rushing day, getting 132 yds on 23 carries and 2 tds. Troy Aikman was in year two. Even as a rookie on a talent devoid team in 1989 the throwing talent amazed league personnel people and other NFL coaches, and you'll see a few gems in this game. You'll also see Aikman in the shotgun, something he reportedly hated and it was eliminated from the playbook the next yr when Norv Turner took over as OC. You wouldn't see anymore of the shotgun in Dallas with Aikman at QB I think until 1998 when Chan Gailey arrived.

Enjoy. This is an extended highlight clip video.

Cowboys have played the Redskins on Turkey Day 8 times, and we're 7-1 vs them (only loss was 2012 to RGPee and Alfred Morris)

That was also the game Romo threw 62 passes. We ran the ball (with a RB) a grand total of 7 times. We got run off the field in the 1st half and were down by 25 pts at one time.

By the way that game was on 11/22 (The 1990 win was also on 11/22)

hard to believe, 44 Thanksgivings ago...I became a fan of the Cowboys. Staubach knocked out and along comes Clint Longley to rally the Boys over the redskins. 24-23...which is why I am predicting the same outcome today.

I think today is a day that both our offense and defense have to be aggressive.

I think trying to pound Zeke today will play right into the Redskins hands. Lets see some options, some no huddle, and 5 deep balls thrown. DEEP.

On defense, come with some blitzes and and stunts to confuse McCoy. Don't give him a chance to gain any confidence.

Normally I would find it odd/ interesting that Dak isnt shown in this Thanksgiving cartoon from the DC FB page but I'll guess knowing Jerry it is an attempt to boost the jersey sales of these players.DCTG.jpg
