When Commanders fans decide to talk trash, about the only thing they have to crow about is that our teams have met twice in the playoffs and they've won both games.
I do not buy the lame attempts to pigeon hole the discussion about the last 10 years only. That is about as lame as a 40 year old horse. It needs to have a merciful death and put out of its misery. Will Skins fan ever do this? I can't answer for them. Either look at the entire History of the 2 franchises or none of it. Don't pick and choose one tiny window and think it matters.
The fact is the only thing about our series that they have a right to crow about is the 2 playoff wins. Head to head in the playoffs they are 2-0 against the Cowboys, both in NFC Championship games for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Both also played in Washington, meaning we were the wildcard team, they were the division champion, and favored to win. Still, Advantage Commanders. Congratulations. I stand here and give them credit for this fact.
In every other way their team's history compared to ours is inferior. Most of this is purely for the entertainment of our fans.
Super Bowls played... advantage Cowboys, 8 to 5.
Super Bowls won...advantage Cowboys, 5 to 3.
Their team began in 1932 as the Boston Braves, they became the Washington Commanders in 1937.
Our team began in 1960.
That means that when we were an expansion franchise they had a 23 year head start, minimum. It is 28 years in reality. Their franchise has played in 39 post season games.
We've won 32 post season games, not played in 32, won 32. We've played in 54. 15 more post season games played in 28 fewer years.
Advantage, Cowboys.
Still think that 2-0 mark is a big feather in your cap Commanders fans?
It gets worse.
When the decade of the 1960's ended the head to head record was advantage Cowboys 10-7-2. We were 5-2-2 in Dallas, 5-5 at Washington.
When the decade of the 1970's ended the head to head record was advantage Cowboys 12-8. We were 8-2 at home, 4-6 at Washington. The Commanders won our first playoff meeting in Washington in 1972.
The 80's was their decade right? I mean 2 of their 3 Super Bowl wins were in that decade, and we got shut out.
Yet when the decade of the 1980's ended it was advantage Cowboys 11-8. we were 4-5 at home, but 7-3 in Washington. The Commanders did win our 2nd playoff matchup in Washington in 1982.
Not even in their dominant decade, and our worst, were they better.
You know the decade of the 1990's was ours right? Yep...
When the decade ended it was advantage Cowboys 12-8. We were 8-2 at home, 4-6 in Washington.
Now we get to the current decade, still in progress. From 2000 through the game this season it is advantage Cowboys 10-4. We are 6-1 at home and 4-3 in Washington. Unless the Commanders sweep the rest of the decade they'll be behind once again.
All time series record...advantage Cowboys 55-35-2. That's 20 games folks. In other words to catch up they'd have to sweep us for the next 10 years. Just to pull even. It ain't gonna happen Sparky.
We are 31-12-2 at home. We are 24-23 in Washington, not counting their 2 playoff wins there. In their house. We win the matchups in their house more often than they do.
Advantage, Cowboys.
The Commanders fans that showed up in 2005 love to talk about the series sweep in 2005. They also swept the series in 1984, 1987, and 1995 for a total of 4 series sweeps.
Dallas had 2 sweeps in the 1960's... 1968, & 1969.
Dallas had 2 sweep in the 1970's...1970 & 1977.
Dallas had 3 sweeps in the 1980's...1980, 1981, & 1985.
Dallas had 3 sweeps in the 1990's...1994, 1998 & 1999.
Dallas has 4 sweeps this decade...2000, 2001, 2003, & 2004.
That's 14 season sweeps. Advantage Cowboys.
So, I'll acknowledge and congratulate the Commanders fans for the 2-0 record in the playoffs against us. The question is, can they acknowledge that in every other way, shape, and form, the Dallas Cowboys are the better franchise with more to crow about? Can they man up and do that? If they can then the message below is not for them, it's for the Commanders homers who want to come here and bring a flyswatter to a gunfight.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, to any of the Commanders fans who want to come here and crow. Stand in our shadow and shiver from the cold.

One night, when I was in a really bad mood (I think I had a toothache) I wrote a version of this that was much meaner. I saved it at home, but have never posted it.kapolani;1752349 said:I love this post.
I remember when you made it a couple years ago. I actually have it saved for the times I need to shut up my Foreskin buddies.
In fact, I used it not too long ago on one of my car forums...
Needless to say it was a moot point after that...
