Re: Glory days
My favorite Redskins moment. Our NFC Championship game against Dallas. THis was the game that told the nation the Redskins have arrived! We beat to a pulp the famed doomsday defense.
This was the famous game Grimm changed Gibbs playcalls in the huddle near the end of the game to run right at HOF'er Randy White and run out the clock. We do not have that physical play anymore. Notice in the background the home made banners and painted bed sheets that Jack Kent Cooke allowed fans to bring to the games back them. Last edited by Defensewins; 10-28-2009 at 12:47 AM. |

I also feel lucky to have experienced this, and can get a little choked up about it sometimes. Four Super Bowls in 10 years racks up a lot of lifelong memories with family, friends, and yes bartenders, and complete strangers. I've hugged the young and old, rich and poor, a lot of drunks and a couple dudes in wheel chairs during a championship game. It's what Redskin fans did, especially when RFK roared (and when beer man came around). Here's my video contribution outside of the Super Bowls. This one's only a few seconds, but says it all. Who we were, and will be again someday. Get to 4:00 on this one (playoffs v. Atlanta...it was about effing cold and rained the entire time, one of favorite RFK memories). Anyway, I was in my early 20s during the glory years, and hope those of you of the same age today get a taste of this. You so deserve it. Last edited by SkinDogg; 10-28-2009 at 01:41 AM. |

I remember there were numerous Atlanta area stars (musicians,boxer, etc) on the sidelines line at RFK. SoOme of the Redskins later said they took offense to that. Man how times have changed. The Joe Gibbs Redskins teams were classy. |

And how great is it to watch replays featuring the Redskins at RFK with Pat Summerall announcing the game? |
