Wrong, SO VERY WRONG!

If you remember we started the 1991 season peeling off 11 straight wins, first off. Sounding pretty good huh...hold tight it gets better!

Secondly we went on to beat the bills in Super bowl XXVI with MVP Mark Rypien at the helm.

And Joe did not retire until the end of the 1992 season, stepping down in March of 1993.

So don't short change us that makes 3 beautiful SB trophies all on Joe Gibbs watch! Enough HISTORY for one night! TIGHTEN UP.

Good job with the history lesson.

I had forgotten how maligned Rypien was going into the '91 season. Then he busted loose.

Maybe JC will be similar this year - much maligned in the offseason, then leading a dynamic offense. And maybe, unlike Rypien, JC will keep it up year after year.

My bad. Chill out. LOL. I remember going to a SB party in DC while in High School which had to be like early 80's. Then we went in 87. Well the 86 season into the SB of 87 I believe. I forgot 91. So what was it ....Miami in 82 SB XVII, Denver in 87 SB XXII, and the Bills in 91 SB XXVI.

Sorry. I can remember Rypian looking so goofy and thought he would not take us anywhere. I think he was coached up .....a lot. LOL.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

and to be honest any SB win by the Skins is awsome but my favorites were SBXVII because it was redemption for what Miami did to us the first time we played then in SBVII I think it was, and SBXXII was nice cause of Doug Williams. He pretty much took all the steam out of the Bronco's in one fleeting quarter. LOL. They were stunned.

Rypian?

You sure you're a fan?

Just checking. Not sure how anyone can forget '91. Sigh.

No kidding. Arguably '91 was the greatest of all Redskins seasons. They sliced through the NFL like a hot knife through butter.

We only lost 2 games by a total of 5 points. [B]Outstanding![/B]

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Wow. I keep forgetting how great that championship game was against the Vikings!

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

I think this franchise would be perceived a LOT differently if the 1991 season didn't happen. The Redskins have produced a bunch of great teams in the past, and some won championships, others did not, but the 91 team just crushed their competition for pretty much 19 straight games.

When you talk about the "unbeatable" teams of the last 25 years, it's the 85 Bears, the 07 Patriots, the 84 and 94 49ers, the 96 Packers, and the 91 Redskins. It was almost bizarre how quickly they fell, because the others in that group all faded off into obscurity. This team was picking in the top five two years later.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Oops. By the way I'm referring to 87 SB team which is on NFL Network right now. I didn't even notice the thread was about 91.

You are correct. The salary cap got introduced, Cooke had to put away his wallet, and the team had to be gutted. What a tragedy.

Luckily we made the most of it by picking Heath Shuler. :)

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

it was such a dominant team..... and a hell of an awesome...

crazy.

Plus the '91 team was older and full of vets, not set up well for a transition period.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

the 1991 skins have to be ranked as a top 5 team of ALL TIME. wasn't that the year they set the single season scoring record, as well?

No, that was the '83 team.

Amazingly they only have the '91 team ranked 14th out of all the SB winners. That always boggles my mind. That team was flat out dominant and they still hold the postseason record for point differential.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

That loss to the Eagles in the final regular season game still chaps my ass to this day. It would have been nice to sweep the Cowboys that year too. Of course if that had happened then the 72 Dolphins would have taken a back seat a long time ago.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Yeah. I think the rest of the league views teh 91 team as a bunch of vets who got on the same page and captured magic for a year. They weren't seen as a "dynasty" like the 49'ers or Steelers.

I don't think we played against the Vikings in 91 and your thinking about 87 when DW was QB. It came down to the last play and old DG knocked away the game winning TD just as a vike was catching the ball. That was also a strike year and we played 3 or 4 games with the a bunch of walk on's. I think we also beat Dallas with those guys and dallas had like 9 starters who played through the strike.

I would have to remove myself for the wp after making a comment like that. All credibility has been lost.

In other news - they showed the 87 season at 8:00 right before the 91 season. Needless to say, tv was good last night.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Both the 87 and 91 seasons are on again today at 1:00 and 2:00 Eastern time today.

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Yeah, they are satisfying the Redskins fans thirst for Skins editions America's game before July 5th. I think that NFLN is hoping will not vote for our team's America's Game episodes for that day. They are trying to prevent us from doing what we did when we got Sellars to the Pro Bowl.

I will put money on New England Patriots SB win after 9/11 getting voted as most popular nation wide.

Please tell me you were still in diapers in '91. If not...wow...


By the way, I watched this without the heads-up. :)

Nope. I'm 41. I went to Broad Run H.S. and the band was allowed to play at the SB parade in DC during the first SB in the 80's. ;) In the Navy during the second and a free man in 91. ;)

I dont have the NFL network...anyone know of a link or something where I can watch these videos?

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

Anyone else catch the part at the beginning where Gibbs is talking about Jack Kent Cooke getting angry with him after the poor preseason? I thought it was telling when Gibbs was recounting the conversation and Cooke said, basically, "Jimmy Johnson is building the team in Dallas the right way and you have too many old guys on this team." But then he concluded by saying, "I'm not going to get in your way, you have to do what you think, but I'm telling you what I think."

Re: 1991 Redskins are on NFL network right NOW!!!
 

The one thing I remember about all of the Redskins' super bowl wins is that they had outstanding offensive lines. That's what we need now so I hope this year isn't wasted by not having guys who can both run and pass block. All 3 super bowl wins were because the Redskins had QBs who had the time to make good decisions, and the O-Line gave them that time.

Actually I think it had to do more with the team getting old. There just wasn't enough good young players in the pipeline to replace aging vets. Plus those first few years of free agency Casserly totally blew it on the guys he brought in. Tim Magee, Al Noga, Tom Carter, Desmond Howard ( that was Gibbs) John Friez, Stanley Richard, Tyronne Stowe, James Washington and so on. There was also a LB from Seattle that COULD NOT tackle anyone. Forgot his name. I can't believe I even remember some of those bums. lol.

You make a good argument but I don't think our arguments are mutually exclusive. Some vets got old, some had to go because of their price tags. And, no matter what, we did not replace losses with good young talent, as you describe.
