Favorite Washington Game

[THEHEREAFTER]

We are currently built for this type of play but every time we get in 3rd and short we've got zeke eitther on the sideline or split wide as one of 4 or 5 wrs.

Good point. I remember this game so well. We had Deion but both starting corners were out for us. Earlier in that drive or right before we had just converted a key 3rd down and 1/2 with Emmitt on the ground. The play was set up so brilliantly. It was all so surreal because you're watching the game on TV and you see a perfect play action.. and you're like.. ok... what do we have? Simultaneously the announcer tips off that a man is open deep but you can't see ANYTHING in the secondary yet.. you see Troy cock back and you know something tremendous is about to happen and watch it all unfold. These are the best moments in sports.

To your point, we should do more of this... Did you see how Troy really sold the play action? And what an arm... WOW... 60 yard hand off to Rocket.

I always thought that this was one of the most underrated great Cowboys-Commanders games. Maybe because many fans went to bed after the Skins went up 23-3. It was on Monday Night Football and I just remember going to work the next day and couldn't find anyone that watched the second half.

It was a late-ending game. That was my senior year of high school. A bunch of us carpooled to school and one of the girls who rode with us was a cheerleader and hard core Commanders fan. The morning after that game, she was half-asleep and seriously ticked off that Dallas won. With her griping and me and another guy laughing, it was a great way to start the year.

Every Cowboys victory over the Foreskins is a favorite, they are all great but my absolute most favorite Washington game was Super Bowl XVIII. I was little and really remember the game well. I had seen other Super Bowls but that one stood out in my memory I think because of all the razzing i had received during the year as a Cowboys fan in Virginia. Then to see them get their tails kicked all over the field on the biggest stage was amazing. I've always sort of liked the Raiders as my #2 team because of that game. Marcus Allen's run...Madden/Summerall, etc. It was a good one. A lot of Commanders fans I know today still say that one was one of the hardest because they fully expected to win it going in.

My favorite non-Cowboy super bowl of all time. Always liked the Raiders for that game.

Id also like to nominate the 2004 game where testaverde hit copper on fourth down then crayton for the long hail mary td. It was cold that day and the skins fans were really annoying. there was a guy running up and down the stairs with the washington flag and then testaverde hit crayton and he left!!!


also the 07 game that ended when newman picked off jason campbell to secure the win, romo and owens went nuts. One of the great atmospheres at the stadium.

You can watch the recap made of the game here! I loved this game.

That 2004 game was awesome. My daughter was at her boyfriends parents house in another county and we were on the phone during that last drive. Their TV feed was ahead of mine by a few seconds, so my daughter started screaming before I saw the play, so I knew something really good had happened. The boyfriend was a Commanders fan. She didn't marry him.

Couldn't find footage from 1985 but I remember the Joe Theisman "birthday game".. throwing 4 picks in a 44-14 *** kicking. I had this game on Beta and kept watching it. Feeding frenzy with sacks.

"Commanders quarterback Joe Theismann threw four interceptions in an embarrassing 44-14 loss to the Cowboys in 1985 at Texas Stadium on his 36th birthday and had to sit on the bench and listen to 62,292 Cowboys fans serenade him with a humiliating rendition of Happy Birthday. It was Theismann's last game at Texas Stadium. He retired after the season."

He threw several temper tantrums after sacks.

It was glorious.

The most memorable parts about these Dallas-Washington memories for me are the people involved, both Cowboy fans and Commander fans. Most of them have either died or I don't see much of anymore. Kind of sad in a way. We had such good times around football games, wins and losses. I'm going to give an old friend a call tomorrow.

Joe Theismann is/was maybe the most insufferable rhymes with crick in football. Never wish injury on someone but that broken leg was karma catching up to him.

The 1989 game. That was the season that separated the real fans from the wannabes. I was the only kid in school who proudly wore his Cowboys jacket to school as Dallas set forth on the rebuild. I had a close friend who was a Commanders fan and he was insufferable that year - until the Paul Palmer game anyway. He avoided me at school that Monday.

Was that the year they were undefeated and we were winless but we went ahead and took it to them anyways? If so yesssss!

Lol, you raised her right.

One of my Fav is still on my DVR from a couple of years ago.. That onside kick was AWESOME! An awesome way to destroy the skids.


When I am feeling down I watch it to cheer me up.

My favorite game(s) are all the wins that Washington lost.
