Thanks Lady Brave for another great, great memory!!! I attended that game, and a number of Skins fans poured to the exits as soon as Whitten burned Archuleta to set up Vanderjagt's game winning attempt. Too many crazy finishes have happened in this rivalry to ever give up when the game is close at the end like that.

It is frustrating to fans of Joe Gibbs, that this Skins team is so mistake ridden!

I am one of those people who believe that no matter how healthy the Skins could have been for this game, Dallas still would be favored. Dallas has only gotten better where Washington is almost the same as last year with some minor additions.

Dallas has gotten a lot better on both sides. The O-line has improved and the O all together is clicking. Even a healthy Skins defense would have not been able to stop them, IMO. The D has a healthy Ellis and Ware is going to chit chat with JC a little this weeken as he picks him from the turf.

Before injuries on the D (Washington, Rogers, and now Taylor), the Skins defense was playing better than the Dallas D. The Dallas D was much more vulnerable to the pass because your safeties cannot cover like Taylor and Landry.

Yeah, and the Skins were losing even when those guys were in the line-up.

I beleive in the importance of good D, but without a good offense to go along with it, it doesn't mean much in TODAY's NFL.

The NFL is much more offense-orriented these days that they came up with so many rules so the the fans at home and in the stadiums can see more TDs. No "touching" after 5 yards, no horse collar, no "touching" the face mask, too many pass-interference calls, protecting the QB too much...etc.

We can go on and on about who would have a better D if it wasn't for injuries. But we all know which of the two has a beter offense that can actually score.

Well if you have read some of the post by the skin fans on this site its easier to take the Dallas fans. Atleast they are choosing their team to win.

I'm just back from local Pub where I took it HARD from fricking cowpuke fan / friends of mine.
Yes, why are they friends when they like Dallas? No answer.

My Skin fan friends were pretty quiet and I had to do all the talking [go figure lol]

I swore up and down we "could" win this game. They talked trash but I never backed down.

I "LOVE" Redskins vs Cowscrotums Week. To me this is what football is all about. When we win I will CHOKE them on their words.

Bleed Burgundy or DIE!

Hail Skins
