38-9...GAG...I was in shock for a week...all the pain of that loss was erased in the second quarter of Super Bowl XXII, though... :food-smil

That was a painful loss, especially for me living in the Bay Area, first the 49ers almost came back to beat us in the playoffs despite our 21-0 lead into the 4th quarter. I think the team got cocky and over confident after having an unbelievable season and rolling over almost everyone, second I heard that Joey T. was out partying all night and was hungover ( I believe it by the way he played) The next week at the Pro-bowl he gets the MVP of the Pro-bowl game, he should of saved that game for the SB.

I was 11 or 12 years old and my parents left us at their friends house to watch it while they went out. I was so depressed to watch the game at some cold house I'd never been to before. The other kids in the house couldn't care less about the Superbowl! Man it sucked. And losing so huge. It still is a horrible memory for me...

if we won that game that skins team would have been considered one of the best ever

Re: Remember The Skins vs. The Raiders in the Super Bowl?
 

You are correct. We got killed that game though...

Re: Remember The Skins vs. The Raiders in the Super Bowl?
 

I still remember how painful I felt during those three or four hours when I was a kid. It was horrific.

The Raiders were stealing our signals. It's so obvious now. Jack Squirek has said one of the coaches told him the screen pass was coming.

I was like eight years old. I remember sitting in the floor watching the game and crying! My mom said, "Oh, it's just a game!" I informed her it wasn't just a game, it was the Super Bowl! As good as the Redskins were during that season, it felt like an episode of the Twilight Zone!

I had an uneasy feeling as soon as Hayes' punt was blocked

And it sucked that we missed the extra point on Riggins' touchdown, so it looks like all we got was 3 field goals.

If I recall correctly, Tim Hasselbeck's dad blocked that extra point
