Remember when that meant something. All the vitriol and trash talking throughout the week. It use to be the two biggest games in the regular season. No matter how bad one team was, they always had faith in their team to beat the hated rival. Alas those days appear to be no more.

for the most part the skins fans are defeated or at least cynical about their team. Let's hope we keep it that way. Let's go Cowboys...keep the winning streak alive!

I see us losing eventually, but not to the Skins. They might be the worst team in the league. I see us going into the bye at at least 8-2 (vs Skins in Dallas, vs Cards in Dallas, vs Jags in London, bye).

Well maybe we can have McClain throw a wreath in their locker room after the game.

I believe it was George Allen that really stoked the fires on that rivalry, does not appear his son can make them competitive enough to start it again.

"Look for Gruden's violent lip flapping or whatever his signature "*** am I doing" look will be.
Colt's first and last game as a starter.

45-13 Cowboys"

:laugh:

Our rival is whoever is competing for the division. I hated the Skins for awhile but it's no more hate for them than other nfc east teams.

Regardless of what we think of him, Haslett seems to be able to get into Romo's head. Not sure how the run game equalizes it, but it's one DC who loves and rises to the chess match here. And it's prime time so the Skins will be motivated. I expect the Cowboys to put their best effort forth.

BTW, did I mention that I hate the immature nature of extremeskins...the way they use childish nicknames for the Cowboys and that if you type Romo in your post, it automatically changes it to Romosucks. and don't say something about their team that they don't like because they will ban you for it. How old are the Mods over there 14.

Oh and how could i forget the Handful of Cowboys fans that actually bash their team more than the skins fans.

That's what happens when one or both teams are irrelevant for most of the past 20 years. This used to be one of the top rivalries in the NFL. I miss that.

I hate the Skins. Always have. Second least favorite team behind only the Eagles.

That said it's a division game.

It's rivalry.

It's going to be tougher than people want to make it out to be.

27-17 Dallas

The rivalry use to be of a nature you could never tell what was going to happen, I remember in 89 the one and only win was against the Skins and well it certainly eased the pain especially around these parts.

Then on the other side in 87 I believe the Skins played the scabs and we had players cross the line such as starting quarterback Danny White, defensive tackle Randy White and running back Tony Dorsett and I believe Too Tall if my memory does not fail me and they beat us.

In the old days you just never knew what was going to happen and the hate was strong!

There is a part of me that loves the Skins being door mats, but I must admit there is also a part of me that use to enjoy crushing their dreams because they thought they had some.

My second favorite team is anyone who plays the Skins!

I'm not trying to defend them as we do suck this year, but there are clearly at least three worst teams (Titans, Raiders, and Jags).
