Re-kindling NFC East Rivalries

[squrrelco3]

Another issue with the whole rivalry thing is that both teams need to be able to beat the other on any given day...with the exception of 2005 I think the Redskins have been something like 3-12 against Dallas since Norv Turner left (Norv always seemed to have thier number). Now if the 'Skins can start piling on a few wins again then the Rivalry will take care of itself.

I think you may have Norv confused with somebody else. He didn't have a winning record against ANY NFC East opponent when he was our coach. That was when Arizona was still in our division, so please don't think that he had anybody's number.

I stand corrected (sort-of):

our record against Dallas since Gibbs 1.0:

9 - 19
Record by Coach:

Pettibone: 1-1
Norv: 4-10
Schottenhiemer: 0-2
Spurrier: 1-3
Gibbs 2.0: 3-3

So depending on how we do next year, that rivalry may start to crank up again...what we really need is a win with playoff implications to get it rolling again.
