cant believe how time flies. i remember me and my dad watching the 1972 NFC championship game, when Charlie Taylor burned the rookie Marc Washington,. the skins blew out Dallas 24-3. have the cowboys ever beaten the skins in the playoffs? was there ever a better motivator/ coach then George Allen?

I remember that game well also because it had been a long time since we had been actually playing for something. The stands in RFK were rocking that day, and for the George Allen era, that day the Redskins had arived.

The only other time we played the Cowboys post-season was for the 1982 Championship which we won 31-17 and propelled us to the SB.

32 years later he would change his name to Marcus and sign with the Redskins...I'm telling you all we do is sign overpriced bums

How about our replacement players back in '87. That was a great 3 game stretch led by strong coaching and a unified locker room

Strong coaching yes, but the regular players ddn't have any love for that group. We were fortunate that year in that the Giants were the team to beat, and they lost all their scabb games. Parcells didn't have much success with his replacement players, Joe Gibbs got a QB form a half-way house in Va. and for a few games made him look better than Theismann.

That may have been the best coaching that I've ever seen. The Skins scabs even beat Dallas despite the presence of several Cowboys regulars who crossed the picket line. Now that's coaching.

The best coaching ever was done by Joe Gibbs I (on his last year 1992-3 season) the team had so many injuries all around OL/DL/RB etc. and yet they beat Minnesota as a wildcard team and flew to SF and lost to the 49ers 20-13 after the Mitchell fumble (we almost won that game).

Yes, with Ed Rubbert and Tony Robinson at QB. We all remember them as household names don't we?
