When is the last time the Skins had a successful Hail Mary

It's a really interesting question. It looks like we've never had a game-winning Hail Mary, or even a meaningful one.

 

But, I'd argue that throwing Hail Marys is a symptom of a team that is desperate. If you're a really good team you shouldn't find yourselves in a position to need one. So it's not really a measure of anything, as some posters seem to think. 

 

PS - you should change your thread title - questions should end with a question mark!!! (I'm kidding - welcome to ES!)

I also wonder if the Redskins have ever completed a halfback toss pass for a touchdown. Or a throw back to a WR behind the line and then he throws a TD. I don't recall many trick plays over the last few seasons. Was there even one in 2016? It seemed like we never even ran a reverse. 

 

Gibbs used to love letting Clinton throw the football. Portis has 3 TD passes thrown in his career.

 

And I believe we also ran that WR play you're describing with Randle-El a couple times. Def a cpl WR reverse pass type plays.

Antwain Randle El threw a TD in 2006 and 2008 when he was with the Redskins:

I have a vague recollection of Randel El catching a hail Mary to end a game but it was on like the one yard line, and didn't go into the endzone.  

Don't remember the year though....

I want to say 2007 season opener vs Miami Campbell to Randle El off a deflect tackled at the one. We ended up winning in ot. Only one I remember that would of been a true hail mary.

 

Gus to Westbrook in the first ever game at JKC Stadium in 97 vs Arizona in OT was a walk off kinda hail mary lol.

Clinton Portis had several during his Redskins tenure. RG3 also had a reception from someone, forgot who, Garçon I think.

Yes, this is the closest thing to a hail mary i can remember

 

Loves that play. I think the OP is referring to a legit Hail Mary, as time expires, for the go ahead score to win/tie

You might want to delete that gif from your post. It is against the rules to quote pics.

I seem to recall Jason Campbell throwing a hail mary, but it ended up drifting to the right and about 8 rows up in the stands. 

 

You're wrong.  That was an out pattern.

Didn't Randle El actually catch one but got tackled at the two yard line?

I remember the 49ers losing on a Hail Mary to secure the #3 overall pick for us since they traded us the pick previously.  Drafted Chris Samuels with the pick lol

That's not how we got the #3 pick dude. We had three first round picks and traded two of them to San Fran for the the third pick.

Cousins to Nichol to beat Russell Wilson's Wisconsin Badgers in the Big 10 Championship game

 

 

 

 I just HAVE to believe that after the refs announced it was a touchdown, the camera showed Cousins celebrating, pushing off his players, he was screaming 'you like that'.  Blame Wisconsin.

Dude, they ended up with a terrible enough record to land us the 3rd pick because they lost on that Hail Mary ? I guess if not for that Hail Mary loss they would have traded us the 4th pick lol
