Dallas website doesn't even mention playing us this week.

[playboy1972]

They are too busy running polls about how dominate they are and how well they have played. Goddamn, I wish we could embarrass them on Sunday. Come on Santana, I know you have one more great ending left in you. J Cam, Landry, Springs..................Please show up Sunday and whoop some Cowboy ass.

we stink BUT DALLAS SUCKS!!!!

[Main-Maine]

LOL i wish it was true. I doubt the redskins can show up because they all may get hurt for any unknown reason.

They swallow too, and they have a head coach with that " aw shucks" attitude. Watch him this weekend he's such a dope. And he's winning with Parcells team. They won't be much in a few years.

I have a friend here locally who is a Cowboys fan, he used to be stationed in TX. Anyway, he told me that Dallas isn't nearly as 'fixated' on the rivalry as we are. Which suits me fine.

I'm not confident making a lot of predictions with the Skins this year. But I would wager that if the last game of the season means anything, we'll beat 'em here.

It would be nice if we showed up " to play" yet where are the scabs when you need em? They played and beat Dallas better than the real players did. Its Dallas week and the Redskins are always the team that cant match the intensity and ready to play a real game mentality against Dallas. ;) ;) ; :) :2cents:

There's nothing special about the Cowboys. They're just another NFL team that happens to be in our division. I really don't understand the clinging to the "ultimate rivalry" mentality.

A Cowboys-Redskins game simply doesn't mean what it meant in the early '70s - early '80s. Then, the Cowboys had been to a level the Redskins hadn't. During that period they had been in, and won, multiple Super Bowls.

To me, the rivalry began to lose its intensity after we won our second NFC Championship game against them. ;) The next year brought the Fatigue game showdown in Dallas. Both teams were 12-2 and the Redskins won convincingly, 31-10. Demoralized, Dallas caved the next week to the Dolphins to "limp" into the playoffs and lost in the first round.

Then came the decomposition of the Landry era and the Cowboys became no more than a divisional rival to me.

I know I'm in the minority, especially when I see younger fans fixated on the Cowboys. But the rivalry pails to what it once was and I see no reason to pretend that it hasn't diminished.

Its the Cowboys and the Redskins and if you can't see the rivalry in that then you're crazy =p

Although it isn't what it used ot be and I only say that because they have dominated us and even tho we won 3 out of the last 4 its clear we aren't gonna win this one and more than likely not the next one either, hell if we get to the next one with 40% of our startes I will be impressed , this team is poorly coached and madeof glass =( ... we will see Sunday tho if they're ready to change that

[Backpack3r]

Probably because playing the redskins is like having a bye week

No more rivalry than any other divisional rival, these days, but thanks for the lucid explanation. :rolleyes:

[ldysknzfn1]

It may not be what it used to be to most ppl but I still hate them and want more than almost anything to put a beat down on them especially since they're riding so high and are touted as the "best team 2nd only to NE":rolleyes: . The rivalry isn't what it once was...but that's not the team's fault..that's on the fans:2cents:

Yeah, that's true.

I know some Cowboy fans who kind of "feel sorry" for us and don't really consider it a rivalry at all.

This is on their site now:


Is the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry still as heated?

I now want nothing more than for them to get swept by us this season. :redpunch:

If you check some of the dallas boards out there, the fans are wondering where the redskins trolls are. They have more threads about the game then the skins boards do. So I'm sure they still hate us.
