Ed Rubbert throwing to some guy (forgot his name) that broke all the Redskin single game receiving records. It was just awful. But I'll never ever ever forget that Mon night game against Dallas when Dallas had a bunch of guys cross the picket line and play and they still lost. Gibbs had Tony Robinson running the wishbone, and the defense held Dallas, Tony Dorsett and Danny White to 7 points ( I think), one of the greatest coaching jobs ever by Gibbs and Pettibone.

I remember those games. The movie "The Replacements" is actually based on the Skins scab team of 87. I think the wr's name was Allen.
Hey, don't hope too much for a non-strike year, remember we've won 2 super bowls in strike years!
