I remember this game very well. Very easily could've went our way had a few balls bounced in the right hands. But what a drop off Mark Rypien had that year. 91 he simply couldn't miss. And 92 he just fell off a cliff.

Yes sir and the next year he fell even further off of it. In 93, may have been the last game of the season, against Minnestota, skins trailing trying to win a meaningless game, Monk comes across the middle db right in his hip pocket, look like Monk had lost a step, ball hits him right in the gut and he drops it. I felt like the Indian with the tear coming down his face watching Manifest Destiny overtake the land, this was the end of the line for a proud franchise.

Yeah that was the beginning of the end. Ritchie was fired, Norv was hired, the house cleaning started and the downward spiral began and didn't stop.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

I attended a couple games that season - the Monday night win over Philly when Charles Mann whipped Antone Davis for 3 sacks in a Redskins shutout at RFK. Better still I attended the rare victory at the Meadowlands, where Gary Clark caught 2 second half TDs to overcome a double digit deficit. That made the Skins 8-0, and I recall Giants fans telling me then and there what I already knew - the Skins were headed to the Super Bowl.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Are we suppose to celebrate their achievement or get depressed knowing that we once had winners from all the way at the top the to water boy?

This anniversary is depressing more than anything else. I'm done with the glory days and ready for the glorious future that POS owner of ours has promised us year in year out.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Celebrating the past man come on!! Its better than dry humping this worthless season!!! But its all good!! To each is own!!!

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

celebrate the past for sure .. 3 super bowls baby ... this season sucks for the last month .. BUT we have a lot of football left ... 8-8 should be goal .... 1991 was one hell of a team, I was at the Falcons playoff game and threw my seat cushion and I was 10 years old ... that is bad ass ... u know what sucks, as soon as I got old enough to enjoy an adult beverage we have been horrible. I wish we could go back to a time machine and handled everything after 1992 differently. One thing I really really wish we would have done, kept Marty Schottenheimer & Trent Green. Those 2 things could have really put this franchise in a different direction. Blah sorry I mean to talk about the celebration of 1991 but i'm so damn frustrated i can't even make sense anymore.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

When I watch thsses videos you really see just how great Joe Gibbs 1 was. You see the old GB power sweeps, you see numerous formations, he invented the bunch sets, you see quick hitting traps, you see big clumsy Mark Rypien rolling the pocket, you see deep balls, you see Rypien rolling to the right and throwing back to the left, a lot of motion and shifting...it must've been a nightmare preparing to play the Redskins back then.

I heard the running game was actually pretty simple, supposedly Gibbs only ran like six different runs but ran them out of many different formations, and ran them very well.

Here is an older Gibbs era game (86)and its a doozie, the effort is unreal these guys sold out back in the day. I think you can watch all of them on you tube.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Funny how some people on this forum bitch about Gibbs II when he has been the most successful of all the recent coaches not counting Gibbs I. If there's anyone to blame for Gibbs II not being successful as Gibbs I is Vinny and Dan + impatient fans. Gibbs came as the savior and tried to turn the ship quickly and yes, he made a few bad moves w/ Vinny's help and inheriting a shitty roster.

His last season coaching during Gibbs I he had more injuries than this season and to critical positions, yet he managed to win the wild card game and almost beat SF on the next playoff game in SF. In my opinion his best coaching performance ever, even better than winning SB's.

[B]Joe Gibbs=Redskins god[/B]

No one and I mean no one, will ever fill his shoes.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Gibbs was a great coach, but I wouldn't want him taking a GM job for a franchise. He had the final say on what moves could and could not go.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Holy Crap look at this early pick of Don Warren!! WHo'd a thunk he would play 14 yrs as a skin and mainly be used for blocking!!!

I caught that! Bobby Beathard was in attendance along with Redskins greats like Gary Clark and Doug Williams.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

I watch Redskin games from the 1991 season every now and then. The Redskins were truly a complete team that year. Monk, Sanders, Clark, Byner, Riggs, Ervins, and the Hogs. The defense had Wilbur Marshall, A.J. Johnson, Tim Johnson, Fred Stokes, Charles Mann, Danny Copeland, and so many others.

I think that the 1991 Redskins team was slightly better than the 1983 team. Had the 1991 team faced the Raiders in Super Bowl 18, they would have won.

One of the few teams that pretty much went injury free all year long. Guys like Johnson and Stokes seemed like bad asses on the Dline then a fewyears later it was like thay all just dissapeared. Tim Johnson was a phisical freak of a man, i always thought he looked bigger and meaner than the rest of them.[/QUOTE]

But listen...we've been meaning to tell you. Well, you know the season's almost over and we won't be starting any Redskins Game Day threads in the playoffs.

This is the video to watch (9:28 still chokes me up). Okay, I'm partial. I went to this game. 20 degrees of rain and hard sleet in your face. All. Day. Long. One of [I]the best[/I] memories with family that day. Still have my seat cushion.

No disrespect to 4 super bowls in 10 years, but I want some[I] new [/I]memories, some new stadium rock. I want to hug strangers in stadiums again, lose my voice, not half-ass the fight song after some limp touchdown Shanahan managed to piece together.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

You know, I was watching Super Bowl 22 today, and realized that in today's NFL, the Redskins would have gotten called many times for roughing the passer, as well as a few personal foul calls on a defenseless receiver. I also saw a pass from Rypien to Byner that would have been called incomplete. Couple that with the non-call on the pass interference toward the end of the first half, and that game would have been A LOT closer than what it was.

My apologies if this was brought up earlier in the thread, but it kind of makes me chuckle a bit by how strict the officials call games now - at least on the Redskins. You can definitely tell a HUGE difference in how much the officials are trying to protect the players nowadays.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

It's a different game in many ways, and not just when the Redskins play.
