Skins responsible - 4 of 10 worst Dallas Losses since '00
Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:42 pm
As I sit and ponder the 2008 season, I came across an article (The Dallas Cowboys' 10 Worst Losses Since 2000) from a Cowboys fan that warmed my heart with the memories. The Redskins are responsible for 4 of the 10 worst Cowgirl losses! 
While I may disagree with the ranking of the skins games (*8 should be much higher in the list) I can;t argue with the selected games.
Here is the article:

And here are the games with his comments:
8. 2002 Week 17 @ Washington
Dallas loses at division rival Washington for their first loss against the 'Skins since 1997, Emmitt Smith had a season low 13 yards in the game finishing under 1,000 in a season for the first time since his rookie year. It also ended up being his last game as a Dallas Cowboy.

6. 2005 Week Two Vs. Washington
The Dallas Cowboys thoroughly dominated division rival Washington Redskins on MNF for the 56 minutes and 14 seconds as they led 13-0. Mark Brunell throws 2 TD passes to Santana Moss (One 39 yards, one 70 yards) and the Washington Redskins pulled one out of their behinds 14-13. That put Parcells at a career record of 77-1 when his team leads by at least 13 in the fourth quarter. Absolutely unbelievable, I'm still not sure it happened.

5. 2006 Week Nine @ Washington
MORE Redskins?! That's right, Dallas and Washington found themselves all tied up at 19 apiece, Mike Vanderjagt was going for a game winning 35-yard field goal with six seconds left to end it. Vanderjagt, a shadow of his former self to say the least was blocked by Troy Vincent. Sean Taylor picked up the ball and returned the ball to Dallas' 45 yard line, Washington was able to get one last play in though thanks to a face-masking penalty on Kyle Kozier and they made it count. A 47 yard field goal for Nick Novak to end the game, another bad loss to the Washington Redskins, and Romo's first loss as a starter. (Many more tough ones to come for him.)

and
3. 2005 Week 15 @ Washington
Two losses to the Redskins in the same season on the list?! That's right, even forgetting what happened earlier in the year a Dallas Cowboys win would have put us in great position to make the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys lost 35-7, Mark Brunell threw four touchdowns, Clinton Portis ran for over 100 yards, and it was a coming out party for Chris
ey, who single-handedly raped the Dallas Cowboys with 71 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Having just witnessed the Dallas Cowboys' worst margin of defeat since 1988, this was the WORST I have ever seen the Dallas Cowboys play and with a playoff spot possibly on the line, too. To make mattters worse, the Dallas Cowboys were edged out of the playoffs by guess who...The Washington Redskins.
