@@Jonas-tr9lq no, the way the eagles won that game was unbelievable. But the eagles suck for 3.5 quarters. This game the eagles completely dominated. It was over at halftime
A Super Bowl celebration speech from Dawk would have been as legendary as it gets.. 2008 almost felt like the destiny with how miraculously they made the playoffs.
I remember being on Christmas break during my high school freshman year, and just marveling how the Cowboys got their asses completely kicked in this game. It wasn't even close. Good times
Same here! The Giants upset of the undefeated pats was my first year watching football when I was 6 and so I love getting to rewatch these old games :)
Me tooo...i remember finding out the Raiders knock some body out and we had to win and get in.....from da start we straight set the tone...TO n Romo wasn't ready
I know Brian Dawkins, he was my Favorite Football player when I was a Fan as a Little boy. And I love his Dark Visor on his Helmet, next time when I play Football as a Running Back, I'll wear my own Dark Visor on my Helmet too.
It’s a shame how criminally underrated was McNabb was!! He should at least be considered for the HOF. He was def a top 5-10 to QB From 2000-2010 and made 6 pro bowls.
Correll Buckhalter could've been a top tier guy had he been able to stay healthy ... dude was built like a tank, had the speed, the agility, and decent football IQ ... sad to see such talent go down the drain
I miss when we had Staley, Westbrook, and Buckhalter. That 3 headed monster would have dominated if Duce didn't end up going to Pitt, but he ended up getting a championship.
So many odd things had to happen that day for this to be a win-and-in game. 2 teams lost which gave Philly life in the afternoon game. They made the most of it !!
@@esdeathisbae9480 that game was obviously great in it own sense, but the 2008 season was magical especially blowing out our biggest rival to get to the playoffs after we needed everything to go perfectly for us.
Take it from a cowboys fan that saw it live, just turnover after turnover. Wasn’t pretty. But hey we killed the pigeons today, it’s currently 44-20 as I’m writing this in the 4th quarter. Game is as good as over
Before reading this story, please know that my In-laws are the loveliest people you could meet and I adore them. In 2008, prior to this game, my wife and I celebrated two years' marriage. My mother-in-law invited my family to a Christmas party she was throwing, the day of this game. Social events between the two families was still a relatively new thing, and this was my Mother-in-law's first Christmas party in years. My wife and I are going back and forth: "You aren't going to sneak off to watch the game." "Well then your mother better have the game on a television in the party." "It's my Mom's Christmas party, not a football party." "I understand that, but my family never misses an Eagles-Cowboys game, let alone one that's essentially a playoff game. This is a BIG deal." My wife's family are not the least interested in sports, but because they are so nice they agree to put the game on. My younger brother and I are usually very loud when watching the game, but we kept the noise down to not disturb the party - that is, until the second quarter. By the third quarter, the Christmas party had essentially turned into an Eagles watch party with my brother and I leading the chants and screaming with every insane highlight-reel play. My wife was so pissed at me. Needless to say, I got my Mother-in-law extra Christmas gifts that year. 🤣
What a day this turned out to be. Going into the day the Eagles had very little hope to make the playoffs. They needed to win and needed a ton of help. Well in the 1 pm window the football gods were on the Eagles side. After Houston beat Chicago. And then Oakland going cross country into the eastern time zone and upsetting Tampa Bay, with the help of Michael Bush, the Eagles went into that game with a lot of emotion after the help they got. And then capped it all off with a demolition of the Boys at the Linc. Just a magical day all around for the Eagles. And this game helped spark them to a great playoff run as well. Will never forget this day.
I was driving home from work and I had to travel long distances at jobs I was contracted to. No smart phone streams, nowhere near Philly to get radio reception. I called my girlfriend at the time and had her put the phone against the TV. Had to get innovative during those days haha but that was such a memorable night.
@@thebillscast90 LOL this game was 14 years ago and the Cowboys absolutely shit on the eagles earlier this season, and they'll do the same this saturday. Sit down kid, stay mad, and keep living in the past
@@thebillscast90 So you're a giants or Washington fan then probably? Yeah even better LOL. Funny how you're too afraid to admit who your team is. Your team must be real good if you won't even support them openly
I remember that NFC East Rivalry between Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys in 2008 was back in the Day. My Favorite team is Dallas Cowboys, that's because they were Undefeated Streak. I hope they going win in NFC Championship in NFL Season Finale, and My favorite Running Back of Dallas Cowboys is Marion Barber. I have to say I love his Long Dreadlocks.
Dawkins as usual was a one man wrecking crew out there in this game. He ripped that cowboys teams heart out single handedly. My favorite Eagle of all time.
This was the first Eagles game I ever went to. I still have the certificate they gave me. I remember doing the wave, and singing the fight song while thinking of my Grandpa. (Who worked for the birds way back when).

Few Cowboys fans never know about this game. Eagles had good team that year (veteran QB, young receiver, solid defense and clutch kicker) to make it to the Super Bowl, but they didn't make it.
I was 16 at the time. Before this game, I was split between the Patriots and Cowboys as far as who to root for. On the morning of this game, I opted to root for just the Patriots. The way the Cowboys fell apart felt like the earthquake that came after Jesus died on the cross.
One of the worst things I remember from this game as a Cowboys fan is this was my sophomore year in high school and me and an Eagles fan made a bet that we had to wear the opposing teams jersey if that team won and I had to wear an Eagles jersey for an entire week😭🤣
Tony Romo at his best..I can just hear Stephen A. Smith now..”Looking for Tony Romo,APB out,nowhere to find him..What can go wrong,will go wrong,walking piece of mediocrity..”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I overslept because I was on break and turned the game on when it was already 17-3 in the 2nd quarter. From Sheldon Brown's pick onward, the smile never left my face. When Dallas loses, we all win!
I remember this game. I wasn’t into football yet at the time and my parents are cowboys fans. I didn’t really watch the game, but I remember the score and how disappointed they were in the loss for the Cowboys. It’s funny to see this game now because two years later is when I started watching football and became an Eagles fan.
This game was the end of an era the last home game for Dawkins and Jim Johnson.
Before 41-33, this was the greatest eagles game ever. 44-6
2010 eagles vs Giants was better than this match
@@Jonas-tr9lq no, the way the eagles won that game was unbelievable. But the eagles suck for 3.5 quarters. This game the eagles completely dominated. It was over at halftime
I hated how they played at this point next season. Got shutout then lost to then in the playoffs!
Yeah that was embarrassing to lose to the Cowboys 3 times in one year. I guess it was payback for all the times we touched them.
Do you even know the magnitude of the eagles vs cowboys game.
Until our SB this was my favorite game as an Eagle fan. To end Dallas' season by 38 points and start a playoff run. Unforgettable
This just makes the NFC title matchup against my Cardinals that much better that year. Two miracle playoff runs meeting, and one had to end.
Brian Dawkins is the greatest player to ever put on an Eagles uniform. That man represents everything Philadelphia stands for. PERIOD
There are a lot of em I don't think u can put him over Reggie White or Jerome Brown but he is definitely a top 5 Eagle of all time #FlyEaglesFly
I don't know what else to say. . .That was a beautiful statement what you've said. ITS THE TRUTH!

A game or two before this, the Ravens ran all over the Cowboys in Dallas.
@@andrethomas9094 it was the game before this. Should’ve had that one, this game, and the Pittsburgh game

By the Dallas 40 yard line, Romo is the only Cowboy making an effort to catch Joselio Hanson. The Tony Romo Era Cowboys, in a nutshell.
2008 was the year of collapses.
This was a legendary night.
This is the game I think of when the Eagles and Cowboys play the final week of the season! Thank you for posting this.

Nothing better than hearing Troy aikmen slowly fall into depression during this game.

1 of the Greatest eagles defensive games ever & offense was moving smooth & FLY & defense was hunting Romo all nite & he was lookin confused out there
I was there 🙌🏽
Brian Dawkins is a beast back in Eagles days.
Second favorite game as an Eagles fan
“He never turns and looks for the ball” meanwhile had his head turned as long as the ball was in the air.. Troy Aikman is a whole fool
Big game for HoF Brian Dawkins, he basically assisted 2 defensive TDs with force fumbles. 10:12 & 11:32
Secret Base Beef History:
Antonio Brown vs himself and everyone else in his path
Joselio Hansen and Chris Clemons each scored as many points as the Dallas Offense, and David Akers outscored Dallas by himself.
Every December when a game meant something Romo just fell apart
This was the last season of Romo’s December woes. But the rest of the team was even worse than he was. Don’t forget to mention that.
This game is why Dallas has been the laughing stock for a long time
One of the worst things I remember from this game as a Cowboys fan is this was my sophomore year in high school and me and an Eagles fan made a bet that we had to wear the opposing teams jersey if that team won and I had to wear an Eagles jersey for an entire week😭🤣

I remember 8 years old me watching this beatdown
This was a damn feeding frenzy for Philly lmao
The eagles been through a lot that season. All the trials and tribulations and the Eagles went to their 5th NFC Championship game under Reid.

And then 2009 happened. Dallas got their revenge and swept the Eagles 3-0 including their first playoff win since 1996.
Well they should have as they were the more talented team, especially on offense. But they massively underachieved and have continued to do so.
If the Texans/Raiders don't win, would Philly have still tried to win this decisively or did the Eagles win-and-in contribute to the lopsidedness?
