I'm 22 years old. Its almost unfair what has happened to my generation of Redskins fans.

[wysknz1]

I had to turn it off, I started to cry

[youngestson]

I can't believe it's been so long.

What a difference the years can make.

[bih]

its sad when we have to look into our past winnings to feel better and heal wounds that todays team has inflicted upon his own fans!!!

[jeostang]

Play this for the team that calls themselves the Redskins today.

[RayRayJK]

I can understand how you feel, and it is unfair. I'm 31 and my first memories include their 1st champoinship and then continue with the greatest time in redskins history. It's almost hard to believe how far we've fallen. I wonder if danny boy has seen that?...so he can fully understand what he has done to this once proud organization.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

...greatness....I wish to witness it one day....

[terpfan]

My first memories are Norv Turner. :dagger:

[I-H8-DALLAS]

I can't believe how big Earnest Byners shoulder pads were. He was running with tree trunks under his jersey.

[MONTEY]

Herzog: TD WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!

Oh man. I cant take it. but I love it. :helmet:

[MondayNightCowboyKilla89]

I was 3 when all that went down. I somewhat remember my Pops being excited about football but have no real FOOTBALL memories.

MY football memories are draft pick busts, college coaches inserting Danny Woeful as the starter, Neon Deion in B and G....etc.

My most memorable season was 2005. That 5 game run was alotta fun.I remember jumping for joy when we beat San Fran in OT for the division crown but I was living in San Antonio so the 1999 season I was a very disconnected 11 year old.

I'm simply gunna endure these craptastic years and cry my eyes out when we put it all together and win the Bowl.

[hoskins]

So how many of those players after a loss said "yeah, they made plays. We didn't. I guess we need to work on that."...

"****! Someone put a scratch on my Lambo. WTF, man? That pisses me off. God damn it."

[Papabear]

Touchdown Washington Redskins!

That sounds funny this season.

That's exactly my attitude. I WILL shed tears when we finally win,whenever that will be.

[GhostRider]

I don't think we'll ever see a Skins team like that again in my lifetime. Dominant in all phases of the game. The Snyder/Cerrator era have problems trying to be mediocre for a season or two, those teams were dominate for a decade when the NFC East was the true powerhouse of the NFL.

[Braxford]

My first memories was the 87 Super Bowl year and I was INSANELY happy for the 91 Super Bowl year. Still have an official Super Bowl XXVI shirt at home and LOVE IT. I feel for younger fans who only can really get excited about 1999,2005, and the bittersweet 2007 season. I really think the problem is Snyder thinks he alone can turn the Skins around and will keep doing things his way so he can take all the credit IF it ever works. ( signs point to no)

[T-REX1240]

I dont kno if ur jokin or serious but I honestly think it might provide even a little spark for them

[terpskins10]

An overwhelming force of brutal efficiency. Huh.

Must have been nice, you lucky old farts.

[kimrobyn]

I remember this!!! Those were the good old days!!! If only... That was in the RFK Stadium days and that stadium ROCKED!

[20April1980]

Herzog: TD WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!!

Oh man. I cant take it. but I love it. :helmet:

I used to listen to the games on the radio and every time that man spoke redskins had made a play.

And the way he said that line it was like he was tired of saying and knew he would likley say it again before the game was over :D

How far we have fallen.

We no longer build. It always has to be now. It also was before the salary cap so you could build and hide guys.


I miss those years so much. It felt like we would always win. Never did I imagine we would go so long and win so little.

[terpskins10]

I dont kno if ur jokin or serious but I honestly think it might provide even a little spark for them

At this point, nothing can hurt.

Even through all the mediocrity, I never thought of our team as a bunch of players who don't play hard and give up at the first sign of adversity.

Watching Moss lazily run routes, D'Lo's soft tackling, Haynesworth's royal out of shape butt makes me realize the extent to which Snyder's trying to buy a championship every year has ruined this franchise. Year after year, we have less and less of those intense leaders on our team and it's now dwindled down to just one, IMO (Fletcher).

This team is in need of a giant rebuilding process, and while a lot of the reason that isn't occurring is the fans wanting instant results, the owner needs to make the decision to hit the red button. Look at some of the best teams in the NFL today. More than half of them were awful at some point in the last 5-7 years, took some time to stock draft picks, hire good personnel men and enthusiastic coaches, and re-build from the ground up. Teams like San Diego, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Baltimore (yech), you name it come to mind.

My fear is that those days will never come. I know I'm willing to endure those years of pain and struggle if I know it would lead to being a consistently great franchise like Pittsburgh or San Diego that has a chance at a ring ever year. Are you?

What we are sitting on today is the NFL's oldest, least motivated and united, and most overpaid roster. Something has got to give, and that something is restocking from the ground up. I know it's going to suck and I know there are still people out there that just KNOW we're only "one player away". We aren't, and won't be for quite some time. Let's bite the bullet and do this rebuilding thing and let's get back our franchise's deeply-rooted tradition.

[Hunter44]

That's how you complete a pass!!:point2sky

[Hunter44]

I remember this!!! Those were the good old days!!! If only... That was in the RFK Stadium days and that stadium ROCKED!

Yeah, now its friggin Fed-Ex...:mad: no tradition anymore just money :(

[eyeball]

I Remember...i'm 48 now..and will never see that again..unless Dan snyder jumps off a bridge ..but the sad part is...my son who's a bigger Redskin fan than me will never see it

[DixieFlatline]

I loved watching this one about our 45-0 opening day win over the Lions.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-OdQx_QlGU&feature=related

[SkinsHokieFan]

As a 10 year old, I watched this video probably 10 times a day from January 1992 until September 1992

I have it memorized.

Best team ever. I am so glad I clearly remember that special season

"In 1991 the Washington Redskins were more then simply the league's most successful franchise, they were the perfect football machine, an overwhelming force of brutal efficiency"



"With power and precision the Redskins rolled to division and conference titles, then crushed the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 26, for their 3rd world championship in a decade"



"The world championship has been secured, picked to win it all before the season even began, they have fulfilled a promise, WORLD CHAMPIONS"

[MONTEY]

I used to listen to the games on the radio and every time that man spoke redskins had made a play.

And the way he said that line it was like he was tired of saying and knew he would likley say it again before the game was over :D

So true.

And I find Larry Michaels play calling so damn irritating. I'm not feeling it.

[Squidley]

I haven't missed a game since 1982...those were the best of times. We were a consistant threat and played a respectable game thru-out the Gibbs 1 years. How I long for Skinz teams that played like that again !!!

HAIL

[BigRay]

I do feel sorry for you younger fans that might be too young to remember that year or previous superbowl years just hope that it will get better where you can experience the same thing us older fans has.

[Dallsux]

I remember this!!! Those were the good old days!!! If only... That was in the RFK Stadium days and that stadium ROCKED!

Quite literally! The infamous "We Want Dallas!" chant still gives me chills.

Let the revolutin begin. I'm actually hoping the skins lose on sunday just so its over and they can get started with a new plan. Lets all hope that snyder finally saw something against the lions

[20April1980]

quite literally! The infamous "we want dallas!" chant still gives me chills.

yes!!!!!.

[polywog999]

There's good and bad in everything.
Unfortunately, we were so good that year, that it almost wasn't fair. No team could have beaten our A game. No one. The Supper Bowl was completely anticlimactic.
It was a foregone conclusion that we would win. There was no room for the element of surprise.
If we could somehow win it this year, it would be almost impossible, but it would be 1,000 times as sweet!
Remember your first car? It drove like a brick, but it was part of the empty space that became your life.
Right now is the bottom. It's 1980 and Jack Pardee is livin' large.
It's the primordial ooze from witch springs forth a new world.
Maybe we win it all one day... who knows, but these horrid times are the acorn... that shall grow a great oak.

Hail to the Redskins! :helmet:

The good old days always come back around! ;)

[terpskins10]

See my previous post. Lots of the best teams in the NFL today had gone through rough times, but they had a direction to go in with a young team growing into themselves. We don't have that.

I'm just hoping Snyder realizes that restocking is the only way we'll be a great team.

What ever it takes, we eventually make it back. Even if we have to cut everyone and start over.

[GaryClarkFan]

I remember those days, and how I looked forward to Sunday afternoons with the greatest football team on earth. I lived for for those three hours a week and never was I discouraged, even in a loss. It's truly sad to see what has become of this once proud franchise.

Mr. Snyder please sir, do the right thing and change the culture of mediocrity that now infests this team of ours. We deserve more.

[Sticksboi05]

Well, I was only a toddler but...at least I can say I was alive...that's all I have at this point.

Gary Clark running free over the middle of the field... bad hamies and all!

[skinsince72]

That team literally rolled over other teams. Unstoppable! We'll get there again one day. Keep up the good draft picks, get a system in that will last for a few years.

[polywog999]

Well, I was only a toddler but...at least I can say I was alive...that's all I have at this point.

They won it for you too! All skins fans young and old!

[ms960]

Until Snyder gets a big clue, we're bound to repeat the past 10 years ad infinitum. Until he realizes he's not playing fantasy football, we're screwed.

My earliest memories were of the 1972 Superbowl (I was 7), so it was awesome to live through the 80's with the 'Skins. My son is now 7 and I really feel for him. He loves the Redskins but all he's seen is really crappy football. It's hard for me to be a good sport about the team when they suck so bad.

[MadMonkey]

I'm 22 years old. Its almost unfair what has happened to my generation of Redskins fans.

Not sad at all, that was a great time and I do believe that we will get back there again. It won't happen this year, but as a true fan I believe.

[Veretax]

yeah I remember that year. I forgot how big Riggs was.

[Jeffro]

I can tell you where I was, who was at my house and what we ate that day.. I miss those days. I can remember being a kid and going to the movies with a friend when I was like 10-11 and calling home via payphone to my dad to see who was winning the game when we played the 49ers in the playoffs.

These videos make we want to cry.. I'm a true diehard fan, but this has to be the most frustrated I've ever been with this team.

I watch as many games as I can during the football seasona and it feels horrible to watch teams play with intensity, drive, passion and coaches actually get fired up about wins and losses. When I watch our "team" all I see is guys going through the motions and collecting a paycheck. Damn offseason is too long to be going through seasons like this where all I look forward to is getting a new coach and QB.

[sugarbear326]

Can anyone get this video to the FO and Fed-Ex field so it can be played inside the locker room. This video has more intensity than the current team..

[hamptonskinsfan]

In watching this, it pointed out something to me. To all the people who say BMitch is a hater, Watch the part against Cincinati and realize He is a Redskin and he is tired of seeing this team do the things they do and is not afraid to say it. After this past weekend and seeing this just hits me in the gut how far we have fallen. Hopefully one day before I die we will again feel the elation of that and the 11 years prior to that, whether we won the super bowl or not, every week you knew that your team was actually giving there all. Now I am by no means saying that all of the present members of the skins do not give there all, but I know that they as a whole, do not hold a candle to the drive and determination of those teams. The worst part is, This team I feel has more talented. Just my two cents.

[GibbsFactor]

Touchdown Washington Redskins!

That sounds funny this season.

Frank Herzog saying those lines were music to my ears.

[SloppyOneXXVI]

Great use of dagger...

Wizards season is almost upon us

[hamptonskinsfan]

Thats great for you that the Wizards Season is almost here but for us that only follow one sport, heck I dont even watch college football, this is cruel and unusual punishment. I do not have such bright lights to look upon. lol

[Leonard Washington]

they wouldn't win today.

[JoeKnowsBest]

Ah, the memories... This is the season that got me from being just a mere casual football fan to being a die hard football fan. I loved that Redskins team and it was the greatest season of my Redskins fan life. Gary Clark was my favorite player, with other favorites like Charles Mann, Darrell Green, Wilbur Marshall, Jeff Bostic, Chip Lohmiller, Art Monk, Ernest Byner, Brian Mitchell, Mark Schlereth, and even to some degree Mark Rypien (The 2nd greatest Redskins QB in the last 30 years.)

Playing as the Redskins in video games like Tecmo Superbowl was so much fun to play back then. And so was refuting kids at school who would try to come up with something bad to say about the Redskins. They couldn't because they would always win and were the best team in the league. They went undefeated for the entire first part of the season. So any smack someone would try to talk against them would make them look like a spiteful idiot.

Even for an 11 year old, what great memories and great times to be a Redskins fan.

[skins island connection]

I actually have one of the gameballs from XXVI,certificate and all, thanks to my wife {then}, if I ever get my room finished, there will be a pic of it.

But I do not think there will ever be a more complete team than the 91 team; a QB with one of the greatest touches ever throwing bombs left and right, the NFL's fastest man Darrell Green, Charles Mann, Chip Lohmiller, who personally out-scored an nfl team by himself, and last but certainly not least, "Th' Posse".
Now that I think about it, I believe I have Walter Payton's last game against the Skins in 86', but its on Beta. yea, beta...

[gortiz]

is there one true redskins on this current team ...

besides london? cooley? that's it man. maybe smoot.

all these cats now seem so indifferent. santana with the shoe shine, portis's mouth, rodgers dropping picks and bitching about his contract, landry seems like he could care less about this area and the skins ... he is pretty damn hard nose though.

this damn video is making say and think crazy things.

when you see monte coleman what is the first word that pops into your head?

[iMeast]

Ahhh the good ol'days in second grade. :-(

Heart and soul diehard Redskin :wavetowel true professional

[TaylorPickSix]

I'm simply gunna endure these craptastic years and cry my eyes out when we put it all together and win the Bowl.


Me too. I'm going to be weeping like a little baby when we win our first one for our generation of fans.

[tex]

those were the days. taped a lot of games as they happened. sad part is that watching them now is so very painful. it's all JKC's fault. Should have left the team to John.

[JoeKnowsBest]

I remember coach Gibbs in his return talking about how when you go through something that difficult and tough you enjoy it more when you finally succeed and get what you had been working and waiting so long for. The tougher the journey, the bigger the reward. I'm like you guys, I just know that when we finally do get it togeter, when ever that may be, I will be in shear euphoria and I will not take that moment for granted one bit. I will enjoy & savor every second of it.

[Skinz248]

Not sure what good this will do but I have sent this video to a couple of our twitter users. Maybe we can get this to the team somehow.

[Chachie]

Glory days. I feel for the young fans who didn't live them. Every team comes back around and at least makes a respectable title run even if they fall short. The Redskins will win again but a Lombardi is a rare thing. We have 3 thanks to one man. Joe Jackson Gibbs.

I also remember many young fans were calling him a doddering old fool in his second term with the team. I hope you guys realize now how much he was doing with how little he had in Snyder's silly organization. Once you have a guy like Gibbs, you don't hire guys like Spurrier or Zorn. You certainly don't hire an ex-Cowboy like Norv. 4 SB appearances in 10 years and then 2 playoff appearances in 4 years is not bad indeed when you look at the time before him, after him, before him again, and now after him again. He's the only great Redskin coach in history and now we all may realize how hard that is to replace.

[kentuckyskinsfan]

"THE WINNING TRADITION!" What it truly means to be " A Redskin Player".

Play this for the team that calls themselves the Redskins today.

Around 1999 or so, I ran into the woman in the indian gear (0:37) at FedEx. I knew I had seen her before, but could not place her. I thought for a second and told her, you were in the 1991 team video. She looked surprised and said yes, she was.

[cocojoey]

great to see the good old days

[illone]

I remember winning $20 off some bills fan that year that was crazy enough to bet me that the bills would beat us.

:hysterical: I was in the 8th grade.

[Sticksboi05]

Thats great for you that the Wizards Season is almost here but for us that only follow one sport, heck I dont even watch college football, this is cruel and unusual punishment. I do not have such bright lights to look upon. lol

The sooner you realize hockey is epic the better. You can watch a talented, YOUNG team with a core group and key role players plow their way through the NHL on their way to the Cup Finals. Oh and don't forget two time league MVP Alexander Ovechkin.

[jason61872]

After i watched that Vid, I watched the NFC championship game, also against the lions. Wow, did that bring back memories! Thats how you win. And the fans in the stands....THATS what it means to be a fan or player of the Washington Redskins! :logo:

[Sticksboi05]

Ouch 7, he doesn't even have 1999. or 2005 really.

[No Excuses]

Too bad all I've seen is crap over my lifetime as a Skins fan. Thanks a lot Darth Snyder.

[jkypoo]

That's actually the first season I remember watching.
I remember watching the Super Bowl at my cousin's house.
I thought that every season would be like that.
I still think every season should.

My heart bleeds for those under 25. I clearly remember 2 superbowls, 1987 and 1991. I dunno what Id do without those...

I'm 24 and i feel your pain. I almost feel like i'll never get to see my redskins looking this good. However at least we can say that gibbs was the best coach we ever witnessed, just like the older fans.

[str8jacket]

wow that kinda put tears in my eyes. I'm 35 and saw us in 4 super bowls, winning three. Brings back memories to see monk, clark, byner, and rypien. That was a team. I feel for the people that have never experienced that. Kind of hard to watch, that seems like forever ago. I hope we all get to experience that again soon. But sometimes wonder if we aren't doomed to endure the plight of the cardinals and lions fans. I pray that isn't the case.

[Skinz4Life12]

what have we become? this needs to be played for the team so maybe we can get our sense of identity back

[Probos]

Gosh -- that is so awesome to watch. I remember that season like it was yesterday. IMO, probably the greatest Redskins team ever -- so great to watch true professionals that know what it takes to win.

Yup -- you young guys missed out and have no idea. That's what makes the situation the team is in so sad -- the stark difference in professionalism, dedication, attitude, the will to win, etc. It's just not there and hasn't been for a long time.

[S.T.real,lights,out]

Wow!!! I could only hope someday we can return to that!

[polywog999]

Doesn't make me sad at all, a little nostalgic perhaps.
I keep reminding myself that we are going to get back some day... and that I'll be a better fan for believing through the dark times.
Sure things are bad right now, will get it right eventually.
... or maybe not!

[polywog999]

Wow!!! I could only hope someday we can return to that!
We sure will. One day...

[4everaSkin]

Wow!!! I could only hope someday we can return to that!
As long as Snyderatto run this team it's not going to happen.

[ALLWORLD]

wow those days are long gone, that team was fired up and had determination... Their "will do" attitude is just one of the many things this team lacks.

:(

[mrhetzler]

An overwhelming force of brutal efficiency. Huh.

Must have been nice, you lucky old farts.

Yeah, but it wasn't in HD.

wow those days are long gone, that team was fired up and had determination... Their "will do" attitude is just one of the many things this team lacks.

:(
Those days are alive in my heart!
Hail!

[bushkar]

Man, it seems like yesterday. Well.......not really.:cry:

[SIXX99]

My first memories are Norv Turner. :dagger:

Me too..... :cry:

[Hogisme]

Wow ...That Superbowl was over at halftime...I was in the Bag by then drinking the dark rum...lol...Awful sad to watch now though...

[OldChelsea]

I've resided in this area since 1977 - my first year here was George Allen's last - and I was here for the great days of the Burgundy-and-Gold...I spent 21 years on the STH wait-list, finally coming up in 2000. My seat has always been in 440, almost directly under those five Redskins championship banners (the 1937 and 1942 pre-Super-Bowl-era titles plus the three SB's)...

...and with each passing year it's becoming more and more like looking up at the west-end rafters at Verizon Centre, or at the top of the jumbotron at Nationals Park...looking at banners and pennants honouring Bullets and Senators triumphs of long, long ago.

I currently hold season tickets at six area pro sports clubs (and was also a STH at the old WUSA Freedom women's soccer for all three seasons)...I was able to watch championship seasons by the Freedom in 2002 and DC United in 2004...what I'm getting at is: when one's team does win one should SAVOUR it, get all the enjoyment one can out of it...for there may be no more.

In that glorious 1991 season the Redskins were one of the NFL's flagship organisations...how many of us gave a moment's thought to how soon, and how badly, they would lose the plot? On 26th January 1992 the Redskins were on top of the American-football world, and their fans with them...less than two years later, we were all still staring, in shock and denial, at the ruins of Richie Petitbon's disastrous 1993 campaign.

Tomorrows, and dynasties, are guaranteed to no one...championships are to be savoured. I'm just glad I was around for the Redskins' great days.

[28skinsfan]

As a 10 year old, I watched this video probably 10 times a day from January 1992 until September 1992

I have it memorized.

Best team ever. I am so glad I clearly remember that special season

"In 1991 the Washington Redskins were more then simply the league's most successful franchise, they were the perfect football machine, an overwhelming force of brutal efficiency"



"With power and precision the Redskins rolled to division and conference titles, then crushed the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 26, for their 3rd world championship in a decade"



"The world championship has been secured, picked to win it all before the season even began, they have fulfilled a promise, WORLD CHAMPIONS"

It's sad that it has almost been 20 years since the Skins have been that dominate. Although I was not as much of a diehard then as I am nowadays that team always reminds me why I am a Skins fan.

[Rocky21]

That type of success for the Redskins was so long ago they might as well have been wearing leather helmets.

[RedskinNutt]

That was a great season. I was a college freshman and the skins were my LIFE back then. I snuck a mini tv in my astronomy class to catch the Monday night games (sorry youngsters, no iphones or cell phones for that matter- yeah I know "HOW DID YOU SURVIVE???") That season was just awesome...seriously, was there a more perfect game than the opener vs the Lions (ironic)? A shut out, a PR TD and offensive superiority.

3 straight shut outs to start the season. Ringing up 56 versus the Falcons.

Funny thing is, some of their individual stats weren't that impressive compared to our current expectations:
-Ryp only completed 59% of his passes
-Byner averaged 3.8 a carry
-BMitch averaged 20 yards a KOR
-Their leading pass catching TE (Orr) had 10 catches

but it was about THE TEAM back then.

Monte, Wilbur, Andre Collins and Kurt Gouveia- THAT'S a tough group of LBs.
Rickie Ervins...now THAT was a change of pace back!

sorry to rant, that was just a good time for this team, I just hope it can make its way back here again.

[RedskinNutt]

Tomorrows, and dynasties, are guaranteed to no one...championships are to be savoured. I'm just glad I was around for the Redskins' great days.

:applause: couldn't have said it better myself. I've been in the area since 79, and a skins fan since the day I touched ground here. I cheered my brains out during SB 17, cried myself to sleep after SB 18, sat in awe during SB 22 and witness near-perfection at SB 26.

Now more than ever, I appreciate being around during those days. Fans from that era were indeed spoiled (The NFC East title or playoffs was an automatic it seemed from 82-91). Now, people are talking about wearing bags on their heads for a 1-2 team...wow what a long, strange journey it has been.

Love to crack a brew or 6 with some of you "old timers" to remember the good old days- when Dexter had a mohawk, when Butz helmet looked like he dragged it through a mine field, when 6 guys high fiving together in the endzone did not draw a flag.

I hope you younger guys get a chance to experience what some of us thought was never going to end.

[bigtommmy]

That was my sophmore year of high school. I'm soooo thankful I grew up during the "good" years!! In a way, I think it may be a curse though. I'm not sure if the organization will ever be that good again!

[AsburySkinsFan]

I want to cry watching this video...I remember that season like it was yesterday.

[Hail_Skinz]

Play this for the team that calls themselves the Redskins today.
Ask anyone on the team to recite the lyrics for "Hail To The Redskins"

[alwaysaskin]

So much since then:

Norv
The Danny
Vinny
Spurrier

Now Zorn, I miss those days, when I knew that we would at least finish 10-6 and that wasn't good enough here in DC. Danny you are a clown, fire Vinny, Fire Zorn, Hire Russ Grimm as HC and Holmgren as GM and fly off to Europe for a year, and leave your cell phone at Redskins Park.

[Sticksboi05]

What's sad is Marty could've made this team something. He fired that moron Vinny and after losing 5 in a row, won 5 and had a positive vibe but of course, he didn't go 12-4 in year one so he was fired.

[alwaysaskin]

Thats great for you that the Wizards Season is almost here but for us that only follow one sport, heck I dont even watch college football, this is cruel and unusual punishment. I do not have such bright lights to look upon. lol

I feel your pain, all of my teams have found new and intriguing ways to break my heart. Snyderatto and the Redskins, The Pacers magical 2004-2005 season imploding when Ron Artest went into the stands, The Tigers getting so close only to blow in the series and now on the verge of choking away the division again, and the Leafs, well, losers since 1967

[herrmag]

Joe Gibbs. On a pedestal. That he essentially told you he wouldn't get again, but came back anyways......My ****ing hero.

[live4burgandyandgold]

All that video does is make me loathe daniel snyder even more. Can you see what he has single-handedly turned this organization into???

[Spaceman Spiff]

I had that tape, I used to watch it all the time.

I was 10, I have a few memories of that season. I barely remember the Broncos superbowl.

I'm a bit older than the OP, but I agree. It ****ing sucks what has happened and what the younger generation has had to deal with.

[alwaysaskin]

Its true, I miss Gibbs, when I look at the dysfunctionality of that toad Snyder

[michiskin]

What's sad is Marty could've made this team something. He fired that moron Vinny and after losing 5 in a row, won 5 and had a positive vibe but of course, he didn't go 12-4 in year one so he was fired.

The irritating thing is, his record had nothing to do with why he was fired. It was because Snyder couldn't stand having no input. He'd rather be the chef and bake some rancid-tasting concoction than hire someone to make a gourmet meal.

[hogluv4life]

Wow what memories! Charles Mann, Wilber Marshall, Darrell Green, Joe Jacoby, Russ Grimm, Earnest Byner, The 3 Amigos, Mark Rypien, and Chip Lohmiller the hardest working Kicker in the NFL are just some of an all-star roster that will forever hold a place in my heart.

The Redskins have an amazing history and for those of you who didn't live these years...there's more to come I promise! My passion for Skins started under my Dad's introduction to them in '81. With Joe Theismann at the Helm in '83 we went to Pasadena California to pay the Dolphins some much needed retribution.

I never knew if I'd see our Skins in another SB and cherished every moment. Then in '88 we did it again. And of course this one. Living through 3 so far I can tell you this, "Each was special, each had it's own reasons that made them as exciting or even more exciting and this Franchise strives for nothing less." You will share in these most rewarding moments as a fan! Then suddenly, all the drama you've endured and all the crap you've heard from rival fans will feel like it was all building to that moment. Cherish it when it comes! You never know how long you'll have to wait again.

[Hail26]

As soon as Gibbs started talking i had to turn it off....i am now bummed out

[Capt Rich Fla]

As soon as Gibbs started talking i had to turn it off....i am now bummed out

me too.:mad:

[cyfar]

Once again.. I love reliving the memories of the 'Skins glory years but this is the second video of the 91 season that has been posted in just as many days. It's starting to look a little pathetic.

I don't agree. This is the model to which we aspire. It's important to realize though, that this is an obtainable goal.
This is our legacy folks! Be proud that that we had such awesomeness in our history!

P.S. did you know that awesomeness was, indeed, a word? Lol!

Don't get me wrong, I am well aware of this team's greatness and normally seeing videos from our Super Bowl seasons would warm my heart, but now i'm so disechanted by the mismangement and lack of organization with this team. All these videos do are make me think about how well JKC ran things. Yes, he didn't do all that well in his final years, but it was still better than the horse and pony show we have had to put up with for the past 10 years.

[#1njskinsfan]

long long long time ago.....

think about this...

that it is 2009, that was 1991.... 18 years

in 1991 18 years before than was 1973... in 1991 did anyone ever think of the 1973 season?
in 1973:
14 game regular season
miami over minny
Cost of Living 1973
How Much things cost in 1973
Yearly Inflation Rate USA 6.16%
Yearly Inflation Rate UK 8.4%
Year End Close Dow Jones Industrial Average 850
Average Cost of new house $32,500.00
Average Income per year $12,900.00
Average Monthly Rent $175.00
Cost of a gallon of Gas 40 cents
AMC Javelin car$2,900.00
A Dozen Eggs 45 cents

I bring up 1973 because in 1991 those 18 years difference show alot has changes and even more have changed in the past 18 years...execpt the losing in DC =(

and who would have thought in 18 years we would have 2 playoff wins and ONE divison title....

SAD

I concur! We also need a London Fletcher highlight video from this year! In particular, his hit on Larry Johnson.

[thomasroane]

I'll never forgive Dan Snyder for wrecking my beloved team. I have two boys who will never know the joy that I had in watching our team bring it every game.

[SKOALSKIN]

This video makes me miss Frank's voice and his signature "touchdown Washington Redskins" Now were stuck with that choad Larry Michael. Frank was the Ron Burgandy of comentators. No one drank on air and held their **** together like he could.

[PiLfan]

they wouldn't win today.

Hard to compare different eras, but i think that '91 team would smash any team today due to their coaching, talent, and team-driven motivation.

[MustangSteve]

That's when we had real coaches at every position, a QB who could throw a bomb, and a team that was all heart.

[boing]

my high school days were amazing. Graduated with them winning it in '91 against the Bills and then also against the Broncos when i started high school. bragging rights back then were awesome.

[Destino]

Oh the days of a pass rush and the long ball... we were the pats for a while 3 superbowls in a decade. Now we are the laughing stock of the nfl.

[kearney]

I was only 7 years old during that season so unfortunately I don't remember a whole lot about it. I can remember where I was during the super bowl that year and how excited my dad got, but was a little too young to actually remember watching the games. I do, however, still have an awesome Super Bowl XXVI tshirt that my dad bought for me to wear for the game.

[Papabear]

Oh the days of a pass rush and the long ball... we were the pats for a while 3 superbowls in a decade. Now we are the laughing stock of the nfl.

Well then the Pats should start to suck anytime now. :)

[magua_8]

I remember that game against the cowboys in 91.. My uncle had a cowboy party and I was the only redskins fan there at age 11.. Its hard being a die hard fan here in Texas.. especially when we cant win... I hate hearing all these cowboy fans here.. It makes me sick.. Wish we had a season like that again so all these homo for romo fans would shut the hell up....

[3rdstring]

so very sad to see

[goflyhelo]

The '91 team was the best of all time in my book. Heck of a year.

"TD WASHINGTON REDSKINS!" Man o' man do I miss hearing that... :(

HTTR! :point2sky

[Cooool...E]

Can anyone on ES put together a a nice tape of those glory seasons? For real, I think that would fire up this team. If it was well put together, we could send it to the team from ES. I bet they all hardly know the story and legacy of the B&G.

[skinsfan_1215]

Well then the Pats should start to suck anytime now. :)

Have you seen them this season? They already have.

[Papabear]

Exactly. :)

[Thirtyfive2seven]

I'd hate to say this but... We are all so sad that we watch these videos and pine for the good old days. I mean I'm right there with you but this is why we are hooked. I think it's time to put away those trophies that are just on display to collect dust in our minds and let go. Lets embrace this sorry team and just be happy with 8-8. Lets just be content with bad coaching and quarterback play. Lets be medium everyone with terrible drafting and a GM that couldn't get a job anywhere else in the league. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love this team.

[British Skin]

I was 12 in 1988 and being in the UK I can remember sneaking the TV on in my bedroom and watching it all night. I got busted by my mum in the 4th quater and she made me turn it off but as you know it was over by then.

In 1992 I was old enough to watch the whole thing and I can't believe this is the last time the Redskins were the Super Bowl Champions.

I feel for you guys who were too young to experience any Super Bowl win but I also feel sorry for all of you who spend a fortune on season tickets and travel all over watching the team you love. You deserve better but if you stick with this team when they really need you just imagine what it will be like when we succeed and I know with the spirit and the history of this great franchise it will defenately succeed again.

Due to Sky sports and the internet I have watched the NFL and particular the Redskins week in week out since 2001. Last weeks performance in my opinion is probably the worst in a long time. There seemed to be no fight in any department which is worrying.

The bad news in my opinion is that it could take years to recover from giving away draft picks but Snyder as to realise his mistakes and admit them to the fans. If he did that and expalined a plan of going through the draft and building a team to you fans I am sure you could live with more years of pain.

At the moment though Snyder seems happy with repeating the same mistakes year after year and he as to realise although he means well this will never acheive what he and the Redskins fans want and that is a team to be proud of again.

I will be on-line watching the game tomorrow as usual for those of you who are going to the game make some noise for a fan from the UK.

Keep the faith, hail we will be champs again one day.

[DaGhost]

its sad when we have to look into our past winnings to feel better and heal wounds that todays team has inflicted upon his own fans!!!

this doesn't make my wounds heal... it makes the cut deeper.... snyder has ruined us

[ALLWORLD]

Have you seen them this season? They already have.

I would rather be in their version of suck than ours, they could very well rebound and win it all and not too many people can say they'd be "shocked".

But, I hope they lose and Brady gets herpies!

[ZEPHEAD]

Those were the days. Going into every game we knew we were going to win. Not hoping, but knowing. A great GM. You had to know how to draft. You couldn't TRY and buy a ring. Coaches knowing their players and adapting to them. Gibbs went from a running team, with Riggo, to a passing team under Williams and Rypien. It just seemd like every move that Beathard made worked.

Great character guys. Guys who laid it all all the line. Players who were proud to be a Redskin. Sadly we will never see those days again as long as Snyder keeps his fingers on everything the Redskins do.

[polywog999]

I'm 22 years old. Its almost unfair what has happened to my generation of Redskins fans.

Man what a year that was. I was 16, just had gotten my drivers license, dad had season tickets (I can still remb what RFK was like that year during home games) and I had just started dating this really cute girl. FREAKING GREAT YEAR!!!!

The skins of the last decade have been an abortion to the younger fans. Hey all I can say is MAN MY CAPS LOOK GOOD THIS YEAR!!! we still have #8 to cheer for

[edgun88]

Three words:

Jack Kent Cooke.

[greenmile]

We needs Gibbs to come back

[edgun88]

We needs Gibbs to come back


LOL. :hysterical:

[UK_HOG]

In my opinion that was the greatest Redskins team of all time. The team did not have a weakness in any position. Not one of the current teams starters playing as they are now would get on the 91 teams roster.

[SkinsJackpot]

todays players have no idea

[Trippster]

So many fond memories from that year:

1. Fantastic Owner!
2. Great General Manager!
3. Best Coach!
4. Best Coaching Staff!
5. Great Locker Room Chemistry!
6. Team Members who Took it Upon Themselves to Fire Up Players!
7. Pissed Off Faces When They Lost!
8. RFK Stadium Rocking!
9. Frank Herzog Calling Play by Play!
10. Glenn Brenner breaking down the game afterwards!
11. Games being played inside the city of Washington!
12. Organization Respected by the Media!
13. Team Feared by the Opposition!
14. Fans considered one of the best if not the best in Football!
15. Gameday experience that didn't break the bank.

Not a single one of these exists anymore. Dan Snyder has destroyed the Washington Redskins and we have sat back and done nothing. If we were truly the great fans we always say we are we would have taken our team back by now. The Redskins are OURS!!!!! not Dan Snyder's!!! We ultimately have a say and no one is doing anything. The Redskins don't get a penny from me until Snyder is gone!!!!!

[mtruslow]

I feel sorry for the kid that said his first memories were of Norval Turner. Sad.
