Name That Year(Redskins Edition)

[skinfan2k]

Here is another thread of mine that people can enjoy through the remaining of the offseason. I will start off with a couple and when those are answered, others can chime in with questions. After all my questions are answered, the individual who answers that last question can develop a question for the rest to try to figure out. I dont want easy questions but it should require some effort, and not just a basic google search. Thanks

1. In which year did Cliff Battles score the first td for the redskins in their battle with the Chicago Bears for the NFL Championship?

2. In which year did Darryl Grant, highstep into the Endzone after he intercepts a pass tipped by Dexter Manely and returns it 10 yards for a 4th quarter touchdown that gives the Redskins a 31-17 lead?

3. This Redskin returns the opening kickoff of the second half 100 yards for a touchdown in the 2nd half of a memorable game giving the Redskins a 10-0 lead in a pivotal playoff game?

4. Playboy selects the Redskins to go the Superbowl and Steve Buckhantz gets in a argument with Joe Gibbs

5. Kicker Jeff Atkinson nails 4 Fgs as the Redskins defeat the LA Rams

Thanks!

I took a wild guess at 1 I knew we won NFL Titles vs da Bears in 37 & 42 and of course Battles would not have scores a TD in 41 when we got beat 73-0 by Chicago. :doh:

I though that Playboy picked the Redskins to go to the Super Bowl the last time they went. :cheers:

#3 Brian Mitchell, 1999 playoffs vs Tampa that Brad ruined by throwing a bad int. That turned the game around. Also botched FG at end lost the game.

1939 Wayne Millner (yes I cheated) :D


What year did the Posse have all three members go over 1000 yards receiving in the same season?

Bonus: Name all the QB's who threw passes to them that year.

5. Kicker Jeff Atkinson nails 4 Fgs as the Redskins defeat the LA Rams
I think you mean JESS Atkinson, who turned out to be one of the sports anchors for WUSA 9 around 2000.

When was the last time a Redskin led the league in offensive TDs?

[scruffylookin]

Rypien must be one of the QB's.


#1 '89.....#2 Rypien, Rutledge, I dunno.

Ryp is correct.

Rutledge came to the Skins in 90.

There were two more QBs who played during the 89 season (one in mop up duty in a single game).

Last hint. All three of the QBs on the Skins in 1989 started Super Bowls.

[DWinzit]

Doug Williams and Stan Humphries (I think Williams played more then one game).:)

[DWinzit]

Sammy Baugh lead the Redskins in passing and the NFL 4 times in every year but one from 1937 to 1951. Name that year.

[RFK Lives]

Sammy Baugh lead the Redskins in passing and the NFL 4 times in every year but one from 1937 to 1951. Name that year.1944 - Frank Filchock (spelling?) I know Frank Filchock also completed a 99 yard TD pass, not sure if it was the same year.

[RFK Lives]

This year the Redskins had the worst record in the league, it was also the first year for 14 games. Name the year and who did the Redskins beat and tie that year?

[scruffylookin]

Doug Williams and Stan Humphries (I think Williams played more then one game).:)

Nailed it.

Yes he did, Stan was the curveball. His only action that year was in mopup duty in LA against the Raiders.

[Gart Monk]

Who scored the game clinching touchdown to win the NFC East the last time we took the division and what team was it against?

Larry Centers vs. SF.?

[ouvan59]

When was the last time a Redskin led the league in offensive TDs?

I would guess John Riggins in 1983.

[ouvan59]

This year the Redskins had the worst record in the league, it was also the first year for 14 games. Name the year and who did the Redskins beat and tie that year?

I believe it was 1961 (might be 1960 though) and I know it was the Cowboys.

[ouvan59]

In George Allen's first year the Skins started out the year 5-0. Who did they suffer their first loss against and what notable event occured during the game?

[RFK Lives]

I believe it was 1961 (might be 1960 though) and I know it was the Cowboys.Ding! Nicely done, correct on both parts. It was 1961.

I came across the answer to your question but am going to let someone else chime in.
