First NFL game you remember

[NateDawg39]

What is the first game you remember watching on TV, seeing live or hearing on the radio?

Mine was the Super Bowl the year the Boys beat the Steelers.

[Old Tiger]

Probably one of the super bowls featuring the cowboys in the 90s

[DUKE22]

Mine was THE CATCH by Dwight Clark. My dad was so pissed. I think I was six years old.

[Bullaholic]

1958 NFL Championship- Giants vs Colts. Watched it on TV. Never forget Ameche's game winning TD.

Dallas Cowboys vs Baltimore Colts in the Cotton Bowl

[waterboy]

The first game I remember actually sitting down and watching was on January 17, 1971. It was Super Bowl V, pitting the Dallas Cowboys against the Baltimore Colts. The Colts won it 16-13, with Jim O'Brien kicking the game-winning 32-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining. It would've been a sad moment, but at that time I was a Colts fan.....:eek: I didn't start being a Cowboy fan until the next season, of which the Cowboys went on and won Super Bowl VI against Miami 24-3. That Cowboy team had Roger "The Dodger" Staubach as QB, with Duane Thomas and Walt Garrison in the backfield.:clap:

My family never watched sports growing up, so the first one I remember was Super Bowl XXVII when they went to a party at a local theater to watch the game with some friends.

[ziggy29]

The first I remember vividly was Super Bowl VII when the Dolphins finished their undefeated season.

[TheDOCTORdre]

Dallas' first Super Bowl against Buffalo

[Maroon87]

Skins/Cowboys, Thanksgiving Day 1974...the "Mad Bomber" game.:cool:

[Txbroadcaster]

first game I actually remember..I was 5 Dallas beat Atlanta in a frantic comeback...my dad says when I was I was cheering on the Cowboys as they beat Denver in the SB, but I dont "remember" if

[Bull Butter]

1969 Playoffs, Dallas lost to Cleveland

[GrTigers6]

I cant remember the year but it was the season that the Cowboys beat the Orange Crush in the super bowl. 1975 but I do remember some of the First Cowboys /Steelers Super bowl before that.

I think it was 95?

[CelinaCatFan]

The first game that I remember was the Cowboys and Redskins on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys made a frantic comeback to win in the closing seconds. I want to say that it was 1975...maybe 1976.

Thats the first one I remember too... Really just remember the end of it

[piratebg]

It was the Super Bowl XXIII with the Niners and the Bengals. Me, my dad, and my neighbor were watching the game while all of the ladies were playing bingo.

[sinfan75]

Dallas vs. Green Bay in "The Ice Bowl" way back when. I guess mid 60's?:D Before Super Bowls were invented.

[Gobbla2001]

Cowboys/Oilers on the tube in... uhm... '91 maybe? '92?

[Pendragon13]

I remember a few late 80's Danny White era Cowboys games on tv...but didn't really get interested until the Aikman/Irvin/Smith/Novacek years shortly after. Also the first Superbowl I really cared about was the first Boys vs Bills.

[LH Panther Mom]

Heck if I know, but I'm 99.99% certain that Dandy Don was the QB.

[bobcat4life]

it was in 1997 during a Broncos game. John Elway to shannon sharpe for a touchdown during a night game.....first touchdown I remember during an NFL game

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

I can't remember some of the games I watched this year but I remember the Cowboys super bowl runs in the 90s more than anything.

Ditto! And he was throwing bombs to Bullet Bob Hayes, the fastest man alive.
But Dandy Don was much better on Monday Night Football. Especially when giving Howard Cosell a hard time. I used to LMAO when he'd get ol Howard all flustered.

[lvbears32]

mine was the '01 titans vs. rams super bowl. 1 yard short! its that game that made me a titan fan. i loved their heart

[BullsFan]

While I remember watching it (mostly under protest) throughout my childhood, I didn't start watching and understanding the game until the late 80s. I don't remember the first game I watched, but the first one that sticks out was a Dallas postseason loss. Troy Aikman had been out for several weeks with a concussion, and Steve Beuerline had been a very good replacement. We'd already won one game in the playoffs, then went to Detroit where we got beat. Soundly. Jimmy put Troy in in the second half, but it was too little, too late. The Boys' heads were hanging at the end of that game, and some were shedding tears. And I might even have shed a few too. This game at Minnesota reminded me of that feeling vividly.

The game I remember watching live was a Thanksgiving game around that time. We were hosting....someone. Troy was out, and the second string went out--can't remember who it was, but I don't think it was Beuerline--and Jason Garrett came in and won the game. It was AWESOME. Went with a friend from NY to the Hard Rock in Dallas not long after, and Jason Garrett was there. By the time his meal was over, there was a string of people waiting on autographs. I explained who Garrett was to the NY friend, and he was absolutely bemused that a third string quarterback would generate that much attention. I tried to explain that this was Cowboys country, but I'm not sure he ever got it. Not sure you can if you don't live here. :)

That was in 94..Aikman and Peete were both out

Redskins/Raiders Superbowl and Marcus Allen reversing his field and going the distance in the Raiders victory.

Don't remember the exact game, but Rodger Staubach came in to replace Craig Morton at QB for the Dallas Cowboys.:D

First game I remember was the Bills/Giants Superbowl. But I remember bits and pieces of Dolphins and Chargers games as a youth. I still remember some game... I want to say the 'Fins were playing the Jets... where both the Marks bros went over 150 yards and Marino also finished with a ton of yards. It was back in the late-80's and it was the first game I can remember being a Dolphins fan... but don't remember much about the game itself.

Don't know if I was a Dolphins fan before that (I was also a Chargers fan growing up), but I know I was after it.

Was this game played at the Cotton Bowl? If so, I was there. My first Cowboy game, too.

Yes, Dec. 28, 1969 at the Cotton Bowl.....Cleveland 38 Dallas 14. If I'm not mistaken, Leroy Kelly ran all over them that day

[Tired ole Bobcat]

I remember watching Y. A Tiddle (sp?) and Johnny U. playing back in the mid 50's before I started to high school. Watched them on the ole black and white. We had 3 stations.

[Heffelfinger]

That's right. Leroy Kelly.

Do you remember the Dr. Pepper vendors selling hot DP from those heated thermos' strapped to their backs?
