Reply to comment by dsphilly in NFC East becomes first division since 2002 realignment to have three teams advance to divisional round by RollingMoss1
Probably more about rivalries. Washington-Dallas is one of the top 2-3 rivalries in the NFL, along with Bears-Packers and…I think those are the top 2, actually, even if da Bears haven’t had much of a showing recently against Green Bay.

With all due respect. The Cowboys Redskins is nowhere near as heated as the Dallas Philly rivalry .
I believe the point was that the NFC East contains 4 of the top 10 television markets in the country. The amount of prime time games that go to the NFC East leans towards this as well

??? Nobody gives a shit about Washington bro. NYG vs Cowboys and Eagles vs Cowboys are both more important rivalries.

Recently Washington hasn’t been as competitive, but historically, Washington Dallas is a bigger rivalry. From Wikipedia:
The rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders, formerly known as the Redskins, is called one of the top NFL rivalries of all time and "one of the greatest in sports" by Sports Illustrated.[54]

The guy you're replying to is probably very young and is clouded by recency bias.
Washington has one of the largest fanbases historically. If you ask a lot of fans in their 40s and 50s, there's a very good chance that they're a Commie fan because of the Hogs and the Scabs in the 80s and 90s.
Until Baltimore got a team again, the now-Commies had a huge foothold in the DMV area.
