Second place is the first loser

BigD, here's the thing. You may say the Redskins are like 31 other teams that didn't reach the ultimate goal, but the fact is, the Redskins are one of 12 teams good enough to qualify for "the second season", or playoffs if you don't know what i mean. That in itself is an accomplishment, no it's not winning the Super Bowl, but we still have a sense that it was a good year simply because we were a part of those 12 teams. The Cowboys can't say that they were a part of that, and that makes it so much better. At least we can say we had a shot at going to the Super Bowl after the season ended, unlike the Cowboys who never had a shot once the regular season was over.
