Child please. You want to talk smack, I'm your huckleberry. But don't bring this weak crap in here. This is like bringing a flyswatter to a gunfight. The Cowboys don't cast a shadow over the Commanders? In your best wet dreams, and nowhere else.
Since 1960 when the Cowboys came into the league the Commanders have been our punching bag with very few exceptions. It is one of the chief reasons why you hate the Cowboys and denying that would be silly. There's 50 years of head to head History staring you right in the face.
You want a little come uppance? Let's start with this. You're shooting your mouth off on a Cowboys forum after finishing dead last in the Division.
Since 1961 the Cowboys and Commanders have been in the same Division. The lone exception was the 1982 strike year where Divisions were done away with. This means we have 48 years of Division rivalry with them. In that 48 year span the Cowboys have been last in the NFC East a total of 4 times.
Tom Landry's last year...1988. Jimmy Johnson's first year...1989. Dave Campo's final two years of 5-11 madness...2001 & 2002.
Dan Snyder bought the Commanders in May 1999. Counting 1999 he has owned the team for 11 seasons. They have 4 dead last finishes in the Division just since he took over the team.
2004 under Joe Gibbs. 2006 under Joe Gibbs. 2008 under Jim Zorn. 2009 under Jim Zorn.
Oh, and in case anyone is curious, 3 times before Little Danny bought the team...1961, 1993, & 1994.
The all time series shows the Cowboys with a huge advantage. 59-37-2. If you went on a winning streak against us right now, it would take 11 years of sweeps to break even. The problem with that idea is you've only swept us 4 times in the 48 years of home and away series. 1984, 1987, 1995, & 2005. You couldn't even sweep us the year we went 1-15. Hells bells, the worst Head Coach in our History, Dave Campo was 5-1 against the Commanders.
Not one of our Head Coaches in our History has a losing record against the Commanders.
Meanwhile, we have swept you 15 times after last year's broom job. Adding insult to injury, you don't even hold a winning record against us in your house. Dallas is 26-24 playing @ Washington and 8-5 at Fed Ex Field.
Do you know what your longest winning streak against the Cowboys is? Of course you don't. It's 4 games. The last game of 1986 through the first game of 1988. One of those wins was the replacement game of 1987 that Commanders fans are so proud of. If we win our first match in 2010, the season opener in your house, it will be 4 in a row for us, matching your longest ever. It's not our longest ever against you. I am just throwing it out there for the sake of information.
Actually our longest win streak was 10 games. The last game of the 1997 season through the first game of the 2002 season. Had you guys not figured out Campo for that one game in 2002 our streak would have been 15 games, because as soon you won 1 against us, we immediately added another 4 in a row, again, matching your longest streak. We have matched or exceeded your longest streak 4 times already, and a season opening win will make it 5 times.
You can throw out your little post season glory for the last 12 years weak jab, but it doesn't impress me one bit that you've won more post season games than us over the last 13 years. If you want to compare post season records, just wait until the record starts playing and we'll dance. The Cowboys are 33-25 all time in the Post Season. The Commanders are 10 wins behind us at 23-17. Behind us is where you belong as I have already demonstrated. We have a 10 win advantage over you despite you having a 28 year head start on us. Give us 28 more years and that 33 is going to look pedestrian.
While I care about all kinds of records and accomplishments it really comes down to Super Bowls. We've won 3 of those things since you last won one. How does that taste? We've got a legit shot to make it 4 since your last one. I bet that was bitter. Yeah I know all about your NFL Championships in 1937 and 1946, giving you 5 just like us. Think we'll be stuck on 5 in 28 more years? I bet we won't be. Maybe we will. I guess it is something for you to hope for.
You've got 6 Division Championships to be proud of in the years we have been head to head rivals. Congrats on those. I do think they matter. We have 21 in the same time span. We have twice won 5 in a row.
16 times since we joined the NFL in 1960 the Commanders have been to the Playoffs. I don't think it will be 17 in 2010. I've been wrong before, but I just don't see you as a Playoff team in 2010. I do think we are. That will make 31 times. 1 short of doubling your success at achieving the post season.
No shadow cast on your team by ours? Like I said before, child please.
