[quote=KI Skins Fan;1156493]Here are some quotes to inspire you:

"...So one time in a meeting during Dallas week, all of a sudden we heard a GONG, ... and here came George (Allen), who was wearing his karate garb .... The whole locker room went crazy. We were shouting, 'GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE...' It was electric. He talked about Dallas week and how he wanted to fly to Dallas and meet Tom Landry at midfield and fight him, and if he could beat Landry, we would win. ....Now he had these boards with him, and these other guys were holding the boards. He was going to break two boards with his hands, and two others with his feet, and if he could break those boards, we were going to beat Dallas. The place was going nuts, chanting, 'GEORGE, GEORGE, GEORGE!' Now he started to warm up and was making all kinds of noises and taking deep breaths. It was unbelievable. All of a sudden he screamed, came down, and broke the two boards with his hands and the other two with his feet, and the place went nuts! ..."

- Rusty Tillman, from Hail Victory: An Oral History of the Washington Redskins by Thom Loverro


"George Allen never used to say 'the Dallas Cowboys', it was always 'the goddamned Dallas Cowboys.' It's the Cowboys' uniform. It strikes hate and loathing in my mind, almost in a Pavlovian sense."

-John Wilbur


"When you sign with Washington, you sign a contract to hate the Cowboys."

-Charles Mann


"If you grow up in metro Washington, you grow up a diehard Redskins fan. But if you hate your parents, you grow up a Cowboys fan."

-Jim Lachey


"We loved to play them. It was always the perfect setting - Monday Night, Thanksgiving Day, a 4 o'clock start, RFK. Those kinds of games still give me goose bumps."

- Ken Houston


"I wanted to just... put his lights out ....because, you know, ...Dallas sucks..."

- Dexter Manley, referring to Danny White whom he knocked out of the first half of the 1982 NFC Championship game.


"It showed our mindset. We honestly felt like we were going into battle."

-Neal Olkewicz, describing the team wearing battle fatigues and black combat boots as they arrived at Dallas International Airport on Dec 10, 1983, dominating the Dallas television news that night. The previous matchup, Redskins had squandered a 23-3 lead to lose 31-30. Redskins record at Dallas was 1-9 over the past ten years. Both teams were 12-2, and the #1 seed for the playoffs was on the line. The following afternoon, the Redskins dominated the game, winning 31-10.


"You just despised that team. It was genuine... I despise them even more now, because they are so flamboyant."

- Joe Jacoby, 1996


"Because of my position, I'm not supposed to think that way. But in the back of my mind, in my heart, I never want to see them win. It's just inbred in my blood since I was a Redskin. I bleed burgundy and gold. I will always have that in my soul - to hate the silver and blue."

- Mark May, TV network analyst, 1996


"I mean, there wasn't a lot of hope for that one, yet we found out, you know, we found a way to win that game, AGAINST our rival, at their place, on Monday night, and uh, the locker room was just -- it was just unbelievable."

-Mark Brunell, Sept. 2005


"I think I love it so much because they talk so much trash, they think they run us. They think they own us. I'm ready. We take little things like that and it adds to our fire. Our fire will start out small, but by game time, it will be blazing and ready to go."

- Sean Taylor, Dec 17, 2005, discussing the Redskins/Cowboys rivalry the day before the Redskins 35-7 blowout of Dallas.


"**** Dallas"

- Chris Cooley, as autographed on one of his photos on his site[/quote]

This is that good shit right here. Wish today's players felt the same. As weird as it sounds now, my favorite quote in that list was Neal Olkewicz's about wearing combat fatigues and boots at the airport because it felt like they were going into battle. That's the kind of mentality we need to win this week. But man it would be oh-so-satisfying to take the Cowboys down a peg.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
 

I just want you guys to know that last week I watched the game at the house of one of my oldest and most longtime friends'. I'm talking known this guy since 8th grade, I'm 28 now. We blew out the Packers and simultaneously got rid of the primetime curse. This week I am going back to his house to eat Thanksgiving dinner with him and his family and watch the game. That's how much I want this W.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
 

I will be surprised if more than one or two drives in this game end without a score. Our offense should be able to move the ball as easily as usual, but we need to keep up the red zone success from Sunday. I think we will, having a good running game helps down there. And please keep from turning the ball over. Our defense is in for a tough time, don't make it harder on em

I'll say 27- 24, Redskins

I'm just saying...hear me out.. We may not win this game. but thats okay.. if you told me 3 weeks ago that we would win 2 out of three against the RAVENS,GREEN BAY,DALLAS I would have said I'll take it. so Even though I'm hoping,wishing,praying for a win..PLEASE don't let a loss bring about a bunch of negative ..pointing fingers..fire the coach..Cousins sucks type of attitude.BE GRATEFUL that we finally have a good team and Have a great chance at playoffs..wildcard could be the best place for us. besides Dallas who would we fear?? NOBODY!!! ..but we had a late game sunday night and we are on the road..that favors Dallas ..We gotta have a few lucky bounces.STAY POSITIVE !

by the way the cowboys are 6-1-1 against us on Thanksgiving games, time to change that streak.

IIRC we are 1-0 against them in our last 1 games against them on Thanksgiving, so maybe it's time to start a new streak?

Stephen A Smith just picked us to win. We are doomed. He's a complete idiot.

Seriously, how sweet would a win be today? But I agree with the comment above - a loss doesn't tank our season.

I think this comes down to whose D steps up (turnovers) and special teams too. Our offenses are both quite capable, and our defenses both susceptible. We need a big day from Cravena spying Dak, put Norman on Dez for at least a good chunk of the game, and we gotta bottle up Zele. I think our O will give them fits - I expect Crowder and Djax to have big days (our modern smurfs). A big game from Fat Rob would be nice too, especially after the trash talking this week.

Hail.

was this about him saying that 'nobody here likes the Dallas cowgirls?"

If so, I'm OK with that....everyone in the world knows it's a rivalry game.
He's just saying ..."I haven't been here long, but I'm on board".

It's good to have a little edge going. If anyone views that as bulletin board material (ie- the media), they are seriously reaching for news.

Uphill battle now. Redskins have to put more points on the scoreboard.
