Remember The Skins vs. The Raiders in the Super Bowl?
 

It's funny how when we think of Joe Gibbs they mention three Super Bowls, when he actually went took the Skins to four during his first stint.

Although the Skins lost that game, it's still worth noting that Gibbs dominated the NFC during his tenure.

For those of you who don't remember the game, it was a heartbreaking lost to the Raiders.

The play I remember the most was Marcus Allen scooting up the middle on a busted play for a 74 yd touchdown. I think I was sick for a week after that play.

All those old enough to remember the game remembers that play. I am still surprised at how badly they beat us. That was a tough loss for me to swallow.

I remember mostly Marcus Allen cutting back across the field from the right to the left and then running straight to the end zone. Bad, bad memories of that game. I had to go to school the next day, very bad.

I tell you that other play that killed me, the play by Jack Squirek. I believe it was right before half-time?

trying to run a screen pass to Joe Washington. the skins used the same play during the season, to burn the raiders on a long gainer

yeah that was the game changing play if i recall , wasnt it an interception returned like 10 yds for the score right before half time?

same year we went 14-2 the two games we lost by a total of 2 points, 31-30 to the pokes and 48-47 to the packers on monday night. Mosely missed a very makable game winning fg if i recall right.

If I remember correctly, earlier in the year when we played the raiders, they were beating us pretty good in that game, but in the end the Skins pulled out a victory in dramatic fashion.

Re: Remember The Skins vs. The Raiders in the Super Bowl?
 

they came out on the 1st drive in the 3rd quarter,scored a td,and promptly missed the pat!the sqirek int td pass return pretty much killed them.my nephew met marcus allen a few years back in nyc..he told my nephew no matter where he goes in the usa,there is always a redskin fan to give him some shit over that run.not too many people remember this,but before norv turner resigned terry allen,he almost got marcus to don the burgundy and gold.
