Here's a question for you....how many of you were actually alive and out of diapers the last time the Redskins even made it to the Super Bowl?
You guys are too funny!

Ok, I'm all for some good-natured smack talk between rival fans, but arguing that the Redskins have no history is just asinine. "All we have" is three Lombardi trophys. Sure, Dallas leads the series all time 49-33-2 - so you've won 57% of our games. I'd hardly call that the Redskins having "no past victories."
If you need a little education in history outside your own beloved team, have a glance at the
Redskins Pro Football Hall of Fame History.
I hate Dallas, I hate Dallas fans (5RINGS being the exception...he's too damn nice.) and I love some good trashtalk. However, I'd never go so far as to say the Dallas Cowboys have "no history." Your team has had an illustrious history, whether I like it or not.
Additionally, it seems like if you're going to argue the history point you might want to point out that the Redskins have been around 27 years longer than the Cowboys.
The point being both teams have history, arguing otherwise is just idiotic. What matters is the here and now. Your record from your last Super Bowl run, however impressive it is, won't help you get in the playoffs this year.
By the way, I was alive and out of diapers for the 1983, 1988 and 1992 Super Bowl victories. I have no idea what the point of that question is, as the majority of the folks on this board seem to be pretty mature - maybe you're used to dealing with a bunch of young bandwagon fans down in Dallas, but I'd venture to guess that most of us are a little older than college-aged and have been lifelong Skins fans, so I doubt you'll get real far with that question.
