Over the years, I've been to so many games in the DC area. There are always a good contingency of Cardinal fans that I run into. Are any of you planning to be there this year? Looks like a great matchup, even though we always find a way to blow road games vs the Skins. I've been to every Cards/Skins away game since 1982. I'm pretty sure I can count our W's on one hand. Hopefully, this year's game will have playoff ramifications

I could come and break another chair....:)

I was just in DC over the 4th we had a great time. Came home and had surgery, had my left hip replaced. Just starting to move around now but we're going to Philly this year (booked) and possibly Houston(need to convince wife).

I don't have a ticket yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be there this time around again. I wouldn't say I've been to all, but most of them dating back to the '98 season.

Kids have so many activities at the moment, hard to know what free time I have for myself anymore.

Again, not a lot of wins over that span.

4 times in that time period. Cards haven't won @ Washington since 1998. And I'd love to go but it's several hours away from me and after working until 6am would be a tough drive.

Still hoping to see the Big Red win a game here so we should be there. Maybe in Houston tambien.

I was at the 98 game. We almost blew a huge halftime lead, but won like 45-42. Lassiter had a big interception late for us to hang on. Plummer & Trent Green had monster games.

That was an amazing game! That and Boomer Esiason's big game versus the Skins.

The date of this game is way too close to 1984! :(

I was there for the 84 game. We rallied in the 2nd half to take the lead behind some Lomax to Green bombs. On the Redskins last drive, the zebra's handed the game back to the Skins. We had about a minute & no timeouts, but we did run Neil O'Donoghue out for a 50 yarder. Of course, he missed it.

That was fun. We were down 2 td's most of that game, which forced Boomer to keep throwing the ball. We just stayed close enough & rest is history. Probably my favorite W over the Skins.

I sang "Hail to the Cardinals" (loudly!) in the upper deck that day at RFK! The best I felt leaving a Cards-Skins game with a win!

I was laying face down on the concrete btw the rows of seats in the upper deck when the Kwam picked off that pass to stop the comeback & seal the win. THe most relieved I've felt leaving a Cards game after a win!

THis game will be a weather-impacted game time decision for me. Nice=I'm there. Cold and/or crappy=TV!
