1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Wish i would have started this earlier in the week. This is gona date some of us. I was a junior in high school.

What I remember the most:
1. The 2nd Game Chip Shot booming some kicks in Dallas
2. Thinking Ricky Ervins was a bad ass
3. Knowing Brad Edwards was one
4. Hating MC Hammmer and the Falcons.....Seat cushions flying!!!
5. Being glad Detroit beat Dallas
6. Knowing Detroit didnt stand a chance coming into RFK!
7. Sick that instant replay showed Monk stepping out of bounds in the SB for an early TD.
8. Feeling that it was a done deal when Kurt Gouvea picked Kelly
9. Feeling even better when Ryp threw a freakin perfect pass to Clark.
10. Thankfull that i latched on to the Skins in 82 and the greatest most loyal fan base in the NFL.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Most importantly (something many fans today are to young to remember) the feeling that each week we were gonna kick the shit outta' somebody and NO MATTER what the score, we could...and would come back to win.
I did not DREAD game day but looked forward to it.....imagine that?
I made a boat load of $$$ on that team......

That was 20 years ago? Sigh. I was in grad school.

I'm with Hog1. I clearly remember the feeling of utter dominance. The question wasn't "will we win?," it was "how badly will we spank the opposition?"

It is hard to forget MC Hammer. It is hard to forget getting revenge on the Eagles. It is hard to forget the destruction of Detroit. It is hard to forget going 11-0.

Man what a team.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Well sadly I don't remember much because I was only 16 days old watching the game on my dads lap! haha But now I am stuck in the Synder era hoping to maybe see us in another Superbowl here soon!!!

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

14 and clearly remember the same feeling as above, it was never a question of us losing. If it was a loss durning the first Gibbs era, it was clearly an upset by the other team.

That season, Ill never forget being over a friends house watching the first time we played atlanta that year and the utter dominace we showed that game. Ryp threw for like 500 yards and we stacked like 45 points on their ass.

I was a little kid around 1st grade age. My mom knew Don Warren's wife and got a few balls signed by almost everyone for a fundraiser she was doing for my elementary school. I dont think my mom asked for extras but Mrs. Warren got me and my brother a ball too. Definitely the sweetest Redskins thing i have.

I dont really remember much but i do remember everyone being worried about Jim kelly during the superbowl. Hopefully we will be 1991 style dominate in a few years!

thats pretty cool, but the first paragraph kinda runs together and it sounds like Don Warrens wife signed your balls. Thats the story Id roll with.

Damn. "gonna date some of y'all" indeed. I was 3 years old and my family had just moved to NoVa. I wish I could remember something from those days but sadly no, I didn't become a skins fan until around a decade later. It wasn't even the first sport I was into, because of my height in my youth and where I lived I was into basketball first lol.

All I'm gonna say is I hope it's not another 20 years before the Skins win another championship.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

I remember Brad Edwards body rocking Andre Reed, and Reed getting all pissed.

Best team ever?In 2010, ESPN conducted a "super league," consisting of the best Super Bowl winning teams of all time; the 1991 Redskins finished the regular season in first place with record of 14-2 and beat the 1992 Dallas Cowboys in the league finals to be named the greatest team of all time[3].

Wasnt that a nice feeling! Man the skins used to have some serious swagg!! The feeling that evedry year we were going to be right in the thick of everything! Even after the body bag game you just felt we had enough character to rebound.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

If I look at the schedule, I can remember great plays in all those games, but the point in the season when I knew that team was really good was week 3 or 4 when we played Philly on a monday night. Had a bet w/my best friend who's a philly fan. We stomped them 23-0! And that was a pretty decent team.

The 91 skins were one, if not the, most efficient teams ever. Near perfect football all year long.

I was 5 years old folks, feel my pain???

I totally agree. That team could grind out a win by running the ball if needed or they could win in a shoot-out if that's what was needed. They were a team that had it all and knew how to use it.

Reed screwed up bad on that play because he whipped off his helmet and sent it bouncing across the field. I believe that penalty took them out of field goal range.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

I had just started serving in Germany, didn't see many games if any at all. Really hasn't ever been the same as the late 80's celebrating down in DC. It would be nice if BA and MS could bring some of that same swagger back to DC. I know this town is itchin to explode with a SB win!

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Totally different personalities on the surface, but Gibbs & Shanny have a lot in common in terms of team building, they both value character as much as talent. This team is far from being a contender, but we're starting to see a positive identity under MS. I think he'll want to stay here a while & bring back the tradition.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Great memories, greatest team of all time.

Mid-twenties, remember watching the Falcons playoff game at a bar in Alexandria, great win, great time. The night before SB XXVI (can't go into detail on a family friendly forum) but I vaguely recall being on Wisc. Ave. and someplace that rhymes with Wood Flys....then to cap off the weekend with a huge SB win, couldn't have been better.

You'll get your chance bro. The Skins are on their way back. I do feel your pain tho.

I remember everytime the ball was thrown long it was almost a automatic TD. A magical time to say the least.

The Hogs and wides had much to do with it but I never saw anybody throw the long ball better than Ryp. Truly a thing of beauty....

Damn right it was the best team ever!! I'm glad ESPN had the balls to recognize it. The final score doesn't reflect the ass wiping Buffalo got, the Redskins tackling was unbelievable, they looked like they were glued to the offensive players.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Thanks for the vids Crazy Canuck. I finally found time to watch them all. 20 years later still WOW!

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

i made bets that year that we would win it all. and i talked a lot of shit god that was so great!!!my brothers team was the bills whan it was over my phone rang off the hook everyone saying my prediction was correct

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Thank you Crazycanuck for posting those 91 highlights.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Very nice! Never gets old looking at videos from that 91 season.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

+ 43 turnover differential, wow.

Ervins was a bad ass for a while,didnt last long
Yes that was sickening that Monk had the td called back,not just because it was Monk but I think we might have ended up not even getting any points on that drive

Yeah that team was great.We had the 3 headed rb situation kind of like we have now.Riggs was mostly the goal line specialist but I think he could have started for most teams in the league.And Byner and Ervins also were good that year

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

Just watched a few of those highlights and one of the things that stuck out to me was all the rollouts Rypien did,and a lot of them were rolling out to his left side.

Re: 1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary
 

It seems he threw every pass as hard as he possibly could! btw did anybody think Deion was going to tackle Ricky Ervins?
