1991 Redskins 20th Anniversary

celebrate the past for sure .. 3 super bowls baby ... this season sucks for the last month .. BUT we have a lot of football left ... 8-8 should be goal .... 1991 was one hell of a team, I was at the Falcons playoff game and threw my seat cushion and I was 10 years old ... that is bad ass ... u know what sucks, as soon as I got old enough to enjoy an adult beverage we have been horrible. I wish we could go back to a time machine and handled everything after 1992 differently. One thing I really really wish we would have done, kept Marty Schottenheimer & Trent Green. Those 2 things could have really put this franchise in a different direction. Blah sorry I mean to talk about the celebration of 1991 but i'm so damn frustrated i can't even make sense anymore.

BTW, Ive watched the seat cushion game many times, and wondered just how cool that must have been!!!!!!

When I watch thsses videos you really see just how great Joe Gibbs 1 was. You see the old GB power sweeps, you see numerous formations, he invented the bunch sets, you see quick hitting traps, you see big clumsy Mark Rypien rolling the pocket, you see deep balls, you see Rypien rolling to the right and throwing back to the left, a lot of motion and shifting...it must've been a nightmare preparing to play the Redskins back then.

I heard the running game was actually pretty simple, supposedly Gibbs only ran like six different runs but ran them out of many different formations, and ran them very well.

Here is an older Gibbs era game (86)and its a doozie, the effort is unreal these guys sold out back in the day. I think you can watch all of them on you tube.

That would cancel out half this roster and coaching staff.

Joe Gibbs Coaches Again, his Grandson - YouTube

Funny how some people on this forum bitch about Gibbs II when he has been the most successful of all the recent coaches not counting Gibbs I. If there's anyone to blame for Gibbs II not being successful as Gibbs I is Vinny and Dan + impatient fans. Gibbs came as the savior and tried to turn the ship quickly and yes, he made a few bad moves w/ Vinny's help and inheriting a shitty roster.

His last season coaching during Gibbs I he had more injuries than this season and to critical positions, yet he managed to win the wild card game and almost beat SF on the next playoff game in SF. In my opinion his best coaching performance ever, even better than winning SB's.

Joe Gibbs=Redskins god

No one and I mean no one, will ever fill his shoes.
