Redskins-Cowboys Rivalry: Does it Still Top Your List?

The Redskin Cowboy rivalry had been slowly fading for a decade. Mostly because we haven't been very good. I have even been leaning towards hating Philly more than Dallas. Mostly because of the Philly fans. I think it's fair to say we really pissed the Dallas faithful off this year and now they really hate us again! I mean a whole generation didn't really understand what the big deal was between these two teams. I really have a problem with Philly, but I grew up hating the Cowboys. No love for the Giants, but they are third on the list. The Question is? Do we still hate Dallas the most? Hate being a passionate football fan term.

Yes, we hate Dallas the most. Why? Because, until this year, they always assumed that a game against the Skins = easy win. That's why those bastards scheduled their ring of honor ceremony on Monday Night Football when the Skins went to TX, they just assumed it would be another Cowboy ass kickin. Yep, no doubt in my mind, we hate the Boys the most, followed by the Eagles, and then Giants.

Since i have been a fan the skins have been dominated by the cowboys. I hate the cowboys more than anyother organization in the history of the world.

what? why is this a question? It is a cardinal rule to despise the Cowpies. There are two teams I root for the Skins and anyone playing Dallas. The games may not have meaned that much for many years in terms of the play-offs, but a game against Dallas has always had meaning. Tell me why the cowpies only win in their 1-15 season was against the skins. That is because they got up for it. Why did the get up for it? Because it was the Redskins. The players may not talk the trash in the paper anymore and the teasm may not play trickes on each other and mock each other anymore, but the fans do. They fans remember and hold the "hate". From what I hear, having not been at the game, FedEx was as loud as RFK yesterday, and I thought that could never happen. That was because of the importance of the game and the fact that it was Dallas. I certainly hope we are able to muster the same passion when we play New York saturday.

Basically I can't stand that the Eagles fans think that Fed Ex is their home away from home. That makes me more mad than anything that the Cowboys fans can muster.

I actually kind of consider it sacrilege to think that anybody other than Dallas is our biggest rival. The Eagle fans are obnoxious, true. But rivals are about the team, not about the fans. If you ask Joe Gibbs which of the 3 NFC East teams he wants to beat the most, he'll tell you I want to beat all three. But then you'll see him smiling a little broader when we get a W over the Cowboys. That's your proof that the Cowboys are still the biggest rival.

Just because we fans want to see the idiotic Eagles fans eat crow, that doesn't make the Eagles the TEAM's biggest rival. Ask any Redskin who they want to beat most, they'll say Dallas. Ask any Cowboy who they want to beat most, they'll say Washington.

Gibbs vs Parcells. I mean come on, how could it not be Dallas?

it wasn't their home this year. Man i hate philly fans too. you cna see there ignorance in this thread http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=16088.1540 that has been building all year. But i hate dallas more as a team. I guess i make a distinction among fans and the team. There are a lot of band wagon philthy fans and they soon will jump off.

I've never been to Dallas, but I have been to Philly. And no offense to those who call it home (I have family there), I think that city has no redeemable values. And the fans' crass is a reflection of that city's putridness (that a word?).

But like you say Schneed it is about the team, not the fans. And really what makes the Dallas rivalry better is the success Dallas has had in this league; and how often times either the Redskins or Cowboys were in the other's way to a greater goal. The Eagles have been the dominant team in the division the past few years, but they have no history of success like Dallas and the Skins do. They've done nothing really.

Dallas is our #1 rival--as Joe Gibbs put it, "I get sick when I see that color blue". I hate all the other NFC east teams, but Dallas is in a class by itself. I hate Dallas.

I've always despised the cowpies. Some of my earliest memories are being gleeful about a Skins win and taunting all the cowpie fans in school or being taunted after a Skins loss. Like Gibbs said, I just a feel a little sick to my stomach when I see that blue star and silver helmet. So, it always means more to me when we beat the cowpies. Now, the iggles are a different story. I never had a problem with them so much until Buddy Ryan and his bodybag comment. Then, I started paying attention to just how... evil their fans are. So, now, I guess I despise the iggles, too, but not as much as the 'pies. However, I despise their fans far more than 'pie fans.
