Favorite Cowboys/Redskins memory

Aikman was hurt in that game and done for the year essentially minus a few snaps in the lions playoff game.

The skins went 15-1 and won the Super Bowl that year. Had emmitt not drank the sports drink that he was told would hydrate him at halftime we would have beat them in week 2 also. He became sick and couldn't stop throwing up out of the half. Still had a big day.

To this day I wish we could have got a crack at them in the NFC championship game in rfk. Jimmy was 3-0 up there.

I recall John Madden saying that the Cowboys defeat of the undefeated Redskins was the best coached game he had ever seen.

That was my favorite along with the 1992 opening day beating of the Skins. That game right there proved we were ready for a Super Bowl run. That was an unreal season.

Little did I know, I would be celebrating 3 of them very soon.

you must be thinking of 1988.. i know what play you are talking about though.

we actually were 3- 13 that year.

md26 was not with us in 89.

i was mad as hell when they cut one of my favorite players.

1990 thanksgiving was a great game made all the better since I watched it with my skins fan cousins.

kindle fire will not let me type the nickname of that burgundy clad team for some reason.

I am going to watch this game tonight.

[View Full Quote]Of the recent games, the 08 game where we were playing for our lives and no one gave us a chance was also a memorable game. Romo with his bad thumb and a banged up barber did just enough to win.

Jimmy was 3-0 at RFK?

Correct me if Im wrong, but I was at the game (1992?) where we controlled the entire game until late in the 4th quarter and then had the BS happen. Irivn fumble right after a catch. The Emmitt/Troy fumble in the endzone. At least one really bad call by the refs.

That was the game where Jimmy had tears in eyes at the presser and nobody said a word on the flight home after Jimmy chewed some tail when some guys were laughing and playing cards.

Edit I forgot the win over Washington in 90 was in texas stadium on turkey day...sorry my mistake, feel free to crucify me.



We lost the game in December of 92 on the BS fumble on aikman in the endzone which todays rules would have been an incomplete pass.

Exactly.

I had a 2" color TV with me and everybody around me was looking at the replays. Even the Skins fans there thought it was a bad call.

You were there too??? I was there maybe 30 rows up from that particular end zone in the corner. I remember the refs and players digging thru the pile to find out who had recovered the fumble. Then you look out maybe a full 40 yards away from the action and a Redskins player is all alone jumping up and down waving the football. It's funny because absolutely nobody in the stadium initially saw him retrieve the ball and move away from the crowd. Then seemingly at once everyone finally sees him waving the ball with all the Skins players and fans pointing at him. I think the Skins player was #26(Copeland?). They definitely could've used instant replay...

Anyway that was a great game to see live. As you said, we carried the game throughout. The Skins got a flea-flicker to score their only TD early. A HB pass to a wide open receiver. I remember it like yesterday. Then the bottom fell out for the Boys late in the game. Being at that game, even before the Boys had won their first of 3 SBs, you could sense the team had already reached the rock-star status.

Yea, it was great being there. Even tho we lost everyone there knew who the better team was.

I was sitting at the other end of the field. Never even had a ticket. A friend from work knew somebody that would let him in the stadium and he got us both in. We moved around the stadium. He had friends all over the stadium so we just moved around.

Larry Cole cutting through the line to bust up the counter trey and tackle Riggins for a loss. That turned into a punt and Staubach did the rest to win the division.

[Bizwah]

91 at RFK is my favorite as well.

It was then that I knew we were back. I knew we were building something special then.

Yeah you could move around RFK as the game wore on. A friend of the family had season tickets and would let me tag along to a few of the games. I only would go if i felt the opponent was worth seeing since i obviously wasn't a Skins fan. That same season i saw Deion and the Falcons. On cue, Deion took one to the house - it had to be 100 yds. I think he danced all the way to the sidelines!

RFK was way better than Fedex. It felt like the entire place was bouncing when that place was rocking. I think most Skins fans will tell you that as well.

Absolutely. The last time i went to Fed Ex was the Rocket OT game back in '99. But there's no question RFK is a better venue to watch and enjoy the game experience.

That 99 game was SWEEEEEET! All those Skins fans thot they had that game in the bag. My In-laws seats were lower level around the 20. Rocket caught that ball right in front of us and ran into the endzone. Perfect way to end that game!

Fedex is okay if you sit lower level. The upper deck sux. You might as well be in a helicopter, or the blimp as sit up there.
