Favorite Washington Game

[Ranching]

For me there is no question. January 31, 1988, SB XXII. I was entering my last semester of college. I had paid,for every cent of my education up til then. My dad always offered to pay, but I was too proud. ,I saved up all through HS, moved away from home my freshman year, came home the next 2 1/2 years and commuted to school while working two jobs to pay for it. My last semester, I gave in and let my dad pay so I could go away again. Then SB XXII, I bought a "Pot" number and won $7,500! I drove home the next weekend and gave it all to my dad. Graduated college with ZERO debt to anyone. I was so proud that I didn't take a penney from my parents that I didn't feel guilty when they paid my down payment on my first house a few weeks later or when they paid for my wedding a couple of years later! Lol

A couple of mine are the Monday nighter when Emmitt drank the supplement before the game and threw up at halftime and couldn't play anymore. This was after having some remarkable runs.
Also the one where we threw a hail mary to harper before halftime and I believe there was an onsides kick as well. Jimmy Johnson really knew how to take down the big gorilla at the time

Romo herniated disk game

 

[Bohuntr97]

Our lone win in 1989, against the Commanders

Roger Staubach’s last win - 1979. Great comeback.

1991 Thanksgving game.

 

[Thomas82]

The Thanksgiving Day game in 1996 where Emmitt went over 10,000 yards rushing for his career.

Aikman to Rocket. One hell of a comeback at RFK in OT.

This one was pretty cool.

The 1999 opening week comeback from 35-14 down in the 4th comes to mind first (I was beaten to it here).

For some reason I also keep thinking of the December 2009 game Dallas won 17-0. That got them into the playoffs, then they shutout Philly 24-0 the next week to clinch the division. Back to back shutouts...

 

[Qbert]

1991 at an undefeated Commander team that probably goes undefeated if they get past Dallas

I was at that game with my dad!!!

Was near frozen by the end of it, but clinching a playoff spot was epic in their house

That's awesome. And the score could have been even higher, but I think that was the game the Skins stopped Marion Barber on 4th and short in the redzone twice.

Landry’s last victory in the NFL was against the Commanders 24-17 in December 1988 at RFK. It was the first Cowboys game I attended in person and it was such a thrill. Freezing cold day and the Commander fans were cussing and Michael Irvin scored three touchdowns.

Lots of other great Commander-Cowboys memories too over the years

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

1983 season opener. Were down at the half 23-3. Came back to win 31-30. One of Danny White’s finest games in my opinion.

 

[pitt33]

1983 Monday night game in which Dorsett gets caught from behind by Darrell Green. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Nobody caught Tony from behind. But he did.
