I´ve only cried once in over 20 plus years of being a Skins fan:

It was back in '91 when our undefeated season when to hell when those idiotic Cowboys beat us at RFK. Remeber that game? I believe it was week 13 so we must have had a 11-0 record.

Fortunetly we won the SB that season, so that remedied the hurt.

How about you guys?

I've never cried but I've experienced fits of rage.

Super Bowl VII was the closest I ever came. Pretty pissed as I remember.

NO....but I did used to Skip school on Mondays if we lost to the Eagles or Giants. I hated riding the bus with those fans after proclaiming Skins victories till my lungs caved in on Fridays.

Yes, I'll admit it.




Anyone want to make something of it?

I've come close. I definatly get in a diffrent mood after a loss. I'm the exact oposite when we win.

ROFLMFAO @ this thread

Every time Dallas beats us.

more rage than tears but definite dissapointment

Never cried but my best friend and I got in a fight after we lost SB XVIII to the Raiders. We were both Skins fans but got in a fight over why we lost..guess we really just didn't know how to vent our frustration in a constructive manner.

Fortunately, a few years later we were celebrating together at the victory parade after SB XXII although we almost got crushed by the crowd who bum rushed the stage when Doug Williams walked out. It was great! The police had everybody neatly behind the little wooden barricades. Everyone saw Doug and pushed the barricades over and ran right through the police. We actually got on the local news for a few seconds to explain what happened.

A couple of times. Some of the Dallas losses have been really, really hard to take (like that Thanksgiving one, this past December. . .). I just don't want my heart broken again. . .

i've never cried, but like most of you, i am NOT in a good mood for several days afterwards.

In 2003, immediately after the worst game i've ever seen the skins play (getting beat by dallas 27-0), my wife picked that exact moment to tell me that she was pregnant (which was a good thing). talk about mixed emotions.

I didnt cry but did water up a bit at Superbowl 18 - when Theismann threw that INT. right before half for a TD. I knew it was over at 21-3.
Also in 99 in the playoffs when the field goal was botched agaisnt TBay. The Turks - I think the happiest guy in the world was the kicker, Scott C. was it? No way he wanted to attempt that kick.

for me it was superbowl xviii against the raiders back in 84.
what looked to be a repeat performance ended up being a runaway for the raiders.it didn,t sit well with me and still today that is something thats hard to let go knowing what they were about to accomplish.
but we went on to win a couple more superbowls so that helped out alot but it still remains fresh in my mind today.
thats about the time i just about cried other than gettin pissed off like the cowboys ruining our perfect season.i have torn up a few plants in the living room in the meantime.
but that 38-9 score has been branded in my brain ever since that terrible evening.

No, But very heartbroken with every loss to Dallas, I have missed work a few times over losses, And also pretty much stay pissed off for days.

Never cried.

Depressed? Yes. Angry? Yes. Frustrated? Of course!

Good stuff, guys. Keep it comin'...

It doesn´t surprise me most of the worst losses you point out are against the Cowboys. What's curious is there are more references to SB losses than to the Eagles and Giants. Man, don´t get me started there.

I cried when we lost to the Tampa Bay in the divisional playoff game when we were that close to the NFC championship game the botched snap.

I cried like a big baby back in November of '77 when the Skins lost to the 'Boys 7-14... heart breaking at that age...

Never cried, but I did my best to make somebody pay for the losses, especially to that group down in Dallas.

I've never actually cried but have been pretty mad. I remember I punched by younger brother for making a smart comment to me about the skins that day. That was a while ago but he deserved it.

Super Bowl XVII...keep in mind I was only 9 or 10 years old. I insisted that Marcus Allen just had to be cheating...their was no other way (my 9 year old mind rationalized) that he could be running all over us like that.

Now instead of crying, I throw things.

I have cried after a Redskins loss. And, I will probably cry at some point this year after a loss in a close game.

Anything I can get my hands on

Every time they lose to Dallas and last home game against the Eagles. I was there.....embarrasing.
