Hey guys, I'm writing a paper for my junior english class about tradition and i want to talk about the night when i really started to like the redskins and was wondering if you guys remember the details any better than i do because i was pretty young. I know it was a monday night game against the 49er's that went into OT and the 49er's had the ball in field goal range and were just trying to run the ball to get a few extra yards and they fumbled and the redskins went on to score a TD. I can't remember what year it was or who was playing for the skins or coaching so if you guys could help me out that'd be awesome. thanks

I think that you are thinking of the 49ers and Giants playoff game in 1990.

I thought that might have been the game you were thinking of, but when you said you knew it was on a Monday night that threw me off

Re: Help
 

sorry was this not a monday night game?

Re: Help
 

No, pretty sure it wasn't Monday night.

Re: Help
 

my fault, i just remember waking up my mother cause she was asleep and there was some yelling going on

Re: Help
 

It was a Sunday Night game

Re: Help
 

Larry Centers was awesome.

Re: Help
 

I bet Terrell Owens didn't bitch that night about only getting the ball once for 2 yards...

Re: Help
 

Brad Johnson was old then. Now he is starting. I bet he's better than Romo.

watch out for the run-on sentences when you're writing that paper.

Charlie Garner (J.E.B. Stuart HS) is a local guy who had a good game for the 49ers. He always seemed to play well against the Redskins, especially when he was with the Eagles.

That was the game that gave us the Division in 99'. The next week we beat Detroit and then went on to almost beat Tampa until Turk’s (R.I.P) snap was bad and Johnson couldn't handle it. That game still makes me sick! If we had held on to win it would have been the Redskins and Titans in the S.B.
The Buc's went on to almost beat the Rams but they couldn't score enough points. If you guys remember we beat the crap out of the Rams on Monday night earlier that year and in my opinion would have done the same thing in the playoffs. If we could have played a better 4th qtr in Tampa I think that year would have ended at the S.B.:bdh:
