How do Commander fans feel about their team helping Dallas clinch early by beating Philly?

[nablives]

I live in Maryland right on the border of dc and they were pissed. They want us to lose more than they want their team to win. They wanted to lose to the Eagles and beat us to prevent us from going to the playoffs.

Truth.


The ones I know from that area are exactly like that. They constantly worry about what Dallas is doing. Sometimes I wonder if they could tell me more about the Cowboys than they could about the Commanders.

So does that make Chip Kelly 1-1 in win or go home games?

He would be 1-2 if he is held to same standard as Romo. Lost this year to the Skins and last year in the playoffs.

The old adage, misery loves company..

I live in Maryland and I can tell you now the Commander Fans would have rather lost simply for a better draft spot. Winning against Philly to them was just as bad as losing to the Cowboys the next week...Well not that bad...around here they consider beating Dallas their Superbowl.

Skins fans can thank Dallas for Haslett being let go

I don't know too many Commander fans from my neck of the woods, but with their extreme hate of the Cowboys, a part of me believes that they weren't as happy about beating the Eagles in week 16 because their hated rival, the Cowboys were the beneficiary and allowed them to play fired up against the Colts the following day because they knew what was at stake. Then the following Sunday, the Cowboys turn around and beat the brakes off of their team. A part of me feels like they were hoping to lose to the Eagles so the pressure could remain on the Cowboys in week 17 to continue the "win and in scenario." Does anybody know what went through Commander fans' mind after the Eagle game?

I think they felt good beating the Eagles...Beating the Eagles officially eliminated the Eagles from the playoffs, that had to feel good. If they could have sweep Dallas the following week the Commanders fan base would have been very optimistic about next season. Besides you play to win regards of record and someone from the division has to go to the playoffs.

Talking about Cowboys on your mind !!! I think the Giants is the only rival that is not so strung up on beating us. Eagles and Commanders it is the same deal do nothing but hey if we beat the Cowboys I'm great !!!

They didn't end up helping us at all. We won the last two which would have put us in anyway.

This is an excellent point, but living in deadskins country the fans I know would have preferred losing to philly and playing Dallas with a chance to hopefully knock us out.

This is so true.

That's correct but it did take some pressure off.

 

[Venger]

If I were a Commanders fan, I would divorce my sister, find out which member of my Mom's high school football team was my Dad, and look for a busy freeway to walk into traffic on. I would not be worried that one of my few wins might have helped or hurt anyone else. The only person I'd want to hurt would be Lil' Danny Snyder. And myself, for being a Commanders fan...

Dallas finished with four blowout wins, and Romo recorded the highest December QB rating in NFL history.

Washington helped nobody with anything.

AMEN BROTHER!!

 

[CCBoy]

The Washington team has been dead last in the NFC East for five of the last 6 seasons. Kidding? This was their Super Bowl...and has nothing to do with Dallas.

This group is rag tag now...and still worships Joe Gibbs only because it keeps them sane still.

RGIII has to still be their franchise after casting away another set of coaches.

 

[greatwallofdallas]

I know a Commanders fan and all he says is That they kept us from a bie week by beating is the first time .

 

[a.stovall2]

From what I can tell on some of their forums, they feel like we do about the eagles. Most seem to hate them more than any other team and making fun of them for never winning a super bowls. So seems most would rather cowboys win instead of eagles.

they helped Dallas fans enjoy the weekend all that much more.

I don't think they cared at that point given how the Skins' season went...

 

[ConstantReboot]

I hate this entire thread. Just thinking about being a Skins fan makes me want to find a bridge to jump down on and end it all. Now I can see why they ALL hate life.

Yeah especially since it was my family's first game ever and my first in the new stadium, we got to see them win the East.
