1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary

[CrustyRedskin]

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!!!

Not sure if anyone saw the piece NFL films did recently. Joe Gibbs had a lot of the old Redskins players, coaches and front office people down at his racing complex. What a great piece that was by NFL films.

For the record, 1991 was the year of my 25th wedding anniversary...

This thread makes a lot people appreciate Joe Gibbs I and II. Don't go bitching about Gibbs II, he brought this team to 2 playoff games and is the best Redskins coach ever.

So that makes you... 110?

Just kidding. I graduated from high school in '91, my first year in college was a blast, and the Skins memorable season made that year just perfect.

Actually, I will turn 68 on Friday of this week.

When I graduated from high school, the commencement address was given by a brontosaurus...

And while I was in high school, they were able to teach the entirety of World History in 3 days.

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

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]

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.

The Pats played this way for years. Not only against Indy but they did the same thing to the Rams in the 01 Super Bowl. Wr's should have fear when they catch the ball, not given a chance to catch the ball and run before being hit. That's just not football.That game plan against Buffalo was pure perfection. Brad Edwards could've easily been the MVP. But you're correct, there would've been a ton of 15 yarders and then fines. This crap that's played today is just garbage. I still watch but it's just not the same.
