I remember too. The first super bowl was when this little girl stopped thinking sports were silly and rooted for Larry Brown. I loved Pat Fisher - such a feisty little guy.

Playing back yard football wearing my home made #43 jersey and my new Redskins "R" helmet fromt he early 70's. LB WAS the Redskins.
Even little girls knew he was something.

I met Roy Jefferson (a now days Keenan McCardell to you kids) and he was my favorite receiver next to Charley Taylor. I was in awe and my old man got such a kick out of it he took me to all the autograph signings at the local lumber/hardware store. Met Jerry Smith, Mike Bragg and Kurt Knight and others I can't remember now.
It is this time of year these great memories come back and I am so glad I am a Skins fan.

The joke around DC was, Kilmer's knee's were so bad, that the defense beat him to the pocket

As this season has progressed, I have begun to sense a shift. For all of you too young to remember the first Gibbs tenure, this feeling about the Redskins that we all have now, was a constant, undeniable confidence. I am starting to see that indescribable, mysterious "energy" coming from Gibbs. He is focused, intense and has an enormous will to win and the team is feeding off of it. I did not sense this about the Redskins of '05. I think that team was surprised to be there in the playoffs and didn't really have the moxy to go all the way.
Will the Redskins win this weekend? I don't know. We'll see how it shakes out. All I know is that "feeling" is back. #21 is definitely still impacting the team and provides an intangible that can only help the Redskins of '07 go beyond all expectations.
I hope there are some members here that know what I'm talking about. That...feeling.
Peace out/West Side
HTTR!!

You guys crack me up..

Not only am I getting that old feeling, but if you look at Gibbs on the sideline....he's got that old look on his face. For some reason he seems much more intense, and confident. Gibbs has always had that quiet confidence about him and you can see it in his eyes.

I honestly think this team knows it can make it to the Superbowl.

It hasn't been until these last four games that I've actually felt the Gibbs 1.0 magic. Not when he first got here, not even the run in '05 which got us into the playoffs. You can tell the way the players are talking; their demeanor. I almost get the sense that they could play the Seahawks in the next 30 minutes if they had to. That's how confident they are right now. I heard Shawn Springs say yesterday that he didn't know what a "Super Bowl locker room" felt like, but if this it, it sure feels good.

If there was ever a script to which Joe Gibbs plays best, it's the one that's unfolding right before our very eyes.

*Journeyman quarterback seemingly out of nowhere having a career year.
*No name defense - Not to be confused with the Dolphins of old.
*Role players stepping up
*Adversity on top of adversity
*Harsh weather conditions on a weekly basis.
*Running back with big heart and tough as nails.

Skins are playoff ready.

My friends and I were lucky enough to experience all 3 Superbowls.

i have experienced them all.even the two(1972-1983)that made me sick.
on another point,this team reminds me of the 1987 team that beat chicago at chicago fc championship.that was also walter payton's last game.

He's gone. Don't even worry about him anymore

Your right, LB WAS the team. I think he was every kids Skins hero. Man, Roy Jefferson, and CT. Great ones!!!!
