XVII
As much as I love Riggins I dont really remember that superbowl, I was 6. I've seen the highlights a million times and love all of em. I know for a fact that I watched it I just think it was to long ago. PTI just mentioned that this happened 22 years ago today (1.30.5) Happy Anniversary.

I remember Williams beautiful record breaking second quarter.

XXVII
I remember Rypien terroriizing the Bills. For some reason my friends and I called Jim Kelly a wet chicken during that game. My dad went out and bought a new tv.

Any of you guys have any thought or memories to share on our superbowl victories?

I think you mean Doug Williams' beautiful, record-breaking 2nd quarter (not third)

Was it against us that Thurman Thomas couldn't find his helmet? I think so, right?

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

Yep! I remember those Super Bowls! I think the anticipation prior to the games is what I remember more than anything else. Sitting there through the pre-game stuff getting all nervous and excited, the chill of hearing the national anthem.....I can't wait until Joe Gibbs gets his 4th!

the first one with coach allen.i think the skins were favored even though the dolphins were undefeated.the rah rah attitude of allen and a bunch of OLD vets playing together.just an omen of good things to come for the skins.mike bass running back that blocked field goal making us skins fans believe we were going to pull it out

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

Doug williams breaking the record is my fave.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

XVII - I was almost 3 months old. This game solidified the name of our dog we would get 6 years later. RIGGO!!!

XVIII - Passed on as legend in our family. My dad throws a huge party, and buys lobster and steak for everyone. He never ate a bite as the game got out of hand. Thus the moral to the story is not to throw a huge party when your team is in the big game. I have seen this theory kick some of my friends asses in the past.

XXII - This is the first SuperBowl I remember. My parents had some big Bronco fans over to watch the game since they were best friends. Anyway the opening coin toss and the Bronco's call it and lose it. John Elway says "SHIT!" I being 5 at the time, damn near pissed myself laughing. Then I remember calling the game over at half time and rubbing it in my parents friends faces. Then I was sent to my room and missed the rest of the game.

XXVII - My Brother stole the Budweiser inflatable blimp from the grocerie store the night before the game and we had it as good luck on top of the TV.

XLI - Probably going to get so drunk either way that I will be come a legend of my own.

I think it was Super Bowl XXII when as the Redskins were embarking on their historic quarter the snow started falling here in Washington.

So not only did the Redskins win, but there was no school the next day!!

Riggins over the left side, of course. Also when it was 10 - 0 in SB 22 and Coach Gibbs encouraged his Offensive team by saying....

I'll congratulate you but don't hump my leg, please. That's one milestone I know I'll never see.

My fondest SB memory was the year they played the Broncos. My relatives were in town from DENVER and staying at our house. They were all in my face at the start of that game but I got to have the last laugh. :cool:

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

Mine was of that big time running back we had who pealed off over 200 yards. What was his name Timmy Smith? and has that record been broken? its was probably the most money he ever made for playing a game.

I don't remember us being favored in the Miami SB.

We had suffered for years before that trip to the SB. The town was still rabid for everything Skins related, however! I first started watching FB in my teens, back in the mid 60's.

My favorite game was in Navy Bootcamp, while sick in the Hospital. George Allen and the Skins put a whuppin on the Vikes! Not a SB, but a great memory! No one else in my Bootcamp company was able to see the game, after all!

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

While I am too young to remember XVII and XVIII, I fondly remember XXII, sitting in the living room of friends of my parents, in front of a big screen, seeing the Broncos go up 10-0. I went outside for a little bit (being not quite 8 and having the attention span of a fruit fly doesn't help when the Skins are losing), and my Dad came out not too long later and said you may want to come in to see this...glad he got me. The big TD run by Timmy Smith stands out in my mind...

XXVI - My parents had people over, and one of my parent's friends worked with our next door neighbor, who was a Vikings fan and hated the Skins. So everytime the Skins scored points, mom's friend played HTTR on a tape recorder outside his basement window...classic.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

My began bleeding burgundy and gold during SB XVII. Once Riggo broke off that TD run I was hooked.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

XVII - I was there, sitting in the 19th row about 12 rows up from Mr. T. Riggins ran right at us on that fateful 4th and 1....god, I will never forget it as I was 13 and I actually made it to the Super Bowl to see it live.

Mr. T was in the house because the A-Team premiered on NBC right after the game. When you're a 6th grade Redskins fan, that's as good as it gets. I used to love it when they would hit him over the head and drag him on the plane right after breaking Murdoch out of the VA hospital. Good times, good times.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

My fondest memory is our beating of John Elway and the Donkeys at the hands of Doug Williams, Timmy Smith and Ricky Sanders. My pops was a big skins fan before he died the year before that one, so I was watching the game at my neighbor's house (mom was working) and it was amazing. I enjoyed this win so much for Doug Williams, Gibbs, and our hard-working offensive line. What a great victory to have, even without pops by my side (he took me to January 1983 NFC championship win at RFK over Dallas, which was perhaps the finest game in our history).......all of our winning super bowl teams were amazing, and I love the 1982 and 1991 teams too!

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

I have 3 memories that stick out in my mind. The first is a baddie (who said they had to be good ones?) - Marcus Allen ripping off that TD run that kind of broke our backs.

Other 2 are good ones - 2nd qtr. against the Bronco's, no one play stands out, just the feeling of awe at the half. I only wisjhed we'd gone on to score 70! :)

Last one was Rypien grinning from ear to ear as we stuffed the Bills. A tiny part of me feels sorry for them for equalling an infamous record (0-4 in the big one), but in the end it was great seeing another dominant Skins SB win.

I'm now hoping for another great SB memory next year...

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

I was a big Byner fan from back in his days with Cleveland, so I was really happy to see him redeem himself from the infamous "Fumble" with the Browns and score a Super Bowl TD with us.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

[Al Michaels Voice]Sanders beats haynes. Sanders out in front. 80 yards, TOUCHDOWN[/Al Michaels Voice]

I watched the video of that super bowl so much I memorized the play by play.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

VII (1972) Miami 14, Washington 7
Garo Yepremian miss played a field-goal and fumbles and it was run back 49 yards by Mike Bass.

XVII (1982) Washington 27, Miami 17
John Riggins ran for 166 yards. The most memorable play was Riggo busting off left tackle for the game winning touchdown.

XVII (1983) L.A. Raiders 38, Washington 9
Marcus Allen ran for 191 yards. The most disappointing moment in Redskin history was seeing Marcus Allen reverse field and breaking numerous tackles for the deciding score.

XXII (1987) Washington 42, Denver 10
Doug Williams threw four touchdown passes in the second quarter. Rookie Timmy Smith ran for 204 yards. I hosted a Superbowl party at my house, filled with Denver Broncos fans and Redskin haters. My family and I was singing "Hail to the Redskins" as we were handing them their coats. My most memorable Superbowl.

XXVI (1991) Washington 37, Buffalo 24
Mark Rypien threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Gary Clark had 7 receptions, 114 yards and a touchdown. Art Monk had 7 receptions and 113 yards. The Posse (Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders and Art Monk) was at their best this season.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

hail2um your an older fart than me!wasnt it fun in 1972 to say you are a redskin fan?

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

God, I miss the A-team....

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

All 3 were great of course but my favorite was SB XVII. My wife is a Dolphins fan and that game was so back and forth, we just kept going at it, then Riggo busted "The Run".

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

Eating my mom's stew in front of the TV set with my dad watching the first Skin's/Dolphins Super bowl. I was 11 and remember Mike Bass running back the botched field goal. Larry Brown took a beating and remember the replay after replay of him getting hit and his helmet flying. God Larry was so great to watch!!!

The win against Miami for the first one....SWEET REVENGE!!!! Riggins gets 166 yards and MVP. The "D" was tough and the offense was awesome!! Great way to notch a first championship

Screaming "OH SHIT", when Marcus Allen turns the botched run right into a 70+ TD run left. That Super Bowl made me want to quit football!! The juggernaut hits the iceberg!

Throwing a pillow at the TV and Dan Dierdorf after the Bronco's went up 10-0. His big mouth saying it was all over for the Skin's. Then the blur that was the 2nd quarter. Never had a game been so lopsided in the first 10 minutes....only to sway the Skin's way to a historic Super Bowl win.

Kurt Gouveia intercepting the Kelly pass to start out the 2nd half and pretty much taking the rest of the air out of the Bills, sails was just wonderful, wonderful. Also the Art Monk reception being overturned after that fantastic opening drive was a heart breaker, being such a Monk fan. I kept hoping they would hurry and kick the extra point but knew when the crowd moaned and roared after seeing the Jumbotron replay it was coming back. Art deserved it after making fantastic catches (I think it was 6 consecutive) to get us the first score. Turned out not to matter but was nervous for awhile...thought that was a bad omen. Still though Joe should have thrown a few more his way. He never got a Super Bowl TD.


33 years a Skins fan....Its all good!!!

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

SB 7 - While it was still 0-0, Billy Kilmers 3 rd down pass to a wide open Jerry Smith in the endzone and it bouncing off the the corner of the field goal upright. Oh yeah by the way the field goal posts back then were still in the field of play on the the goal line and Jerry pass route ran hime right behind the goal post.

SB 17 - Theisman's TD saving batting of the ball out of DL's hands. Was a sure TD if Theisman had not been alert.

SB 22 - Doug Williams badly spraining his knee in the 1st quarter and Jay Schroeder coming and stinking up the joint for a handfull of plays. Schroeder immeadiately get sacked on 2 out 3 plays. Williams limped for the rest of the game.

SB XXVI (1991)- Art Monk finally being healthy during a SB year. He missed the other ones due to inuries.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

Little known fact, when Riggo scored a touchdown in SB XVIII the extra point was blocked by Don Hasselbeck (Matt and Tim's father)

That blocked kick is annoying because now people think we just got 3 FGs and forget the actual touchdown. Not that it makes that much of a difference really. I could tell there would be problems when Hayes' punt was blocked early on.

What made Monk's called-back TD doubly painful was that then they missed the field goal attempt on a botched snap, or maybe it was a botched hold (I forget).

As much as it sucked that Monk never got a Super Bowl TD I think the worst decision ever was when the Bears give Refrigerator Perry the ball at the 1-yard line, denying Payton a chance to score a SB touchdown.

Re: Superbowl Memories Anyone? Leave yours
 

My greatest SB memory is “Goal line, goal line. I-left, tight wing, 70 chip on white.”

My greatest memory in sports would be the win over Dallas the week before in the NFC Championship game...particuarly the Darryl Grant TD that clinched it.
