Mark The Homer Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The Seat-Cushion Game! It was the mass hysteria / joy of an entire season all wrapped up in one moment. I'm sure I will one day die before I ever again experience the emotion of that minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 A lot of people who have been fans since the Gibbs era are always torn between the NFCCG win against the Cowboys and the SB win against the Phins. I think we should all agree that the magical '82 run through the playoffs should be lumped together as four straight weeks of great times for the Skins. The Lions driving down for an early score when we get an INT return for a TD (was it Barry Wilburn or someone else?) and Alvin Garrett's big day in place of Art Monk; Riggo pounding the Vikes for a buck eighty-five; and what more can you say about the next two games. Aside from the SB runs, I think my favorite Redskins moment was beating the Eagles at the Vet 20-6 in the playoffs, avenging the Body Bag Game and getting Buddy Ryan fired.

The Bounty Hunter #21 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yea im a pretty much younger fan 2 only being 18 but I really have to say that the return of Joe Gibbs over a year ago might be mine bc when he was first with the team back in the day I was 2 young to really grasp at what he was doin...I am just sad that my dad had to pass bc he loved Gibbs and I wanted to experience of his return with him..

BG Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I would have to say that cold January night last year, when we weren't in the playoffs but St. Joe decided he'd come back. Although, I did go to that playoff game in 91 versus the Falcons. I will never ever forget that game. From everything to the fans talking smack to Deion, Mark Rypien lighting the hell out of Jesse Tuggle (I think) when he threw an int... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Hunter #21 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Right before the game last year against the Bucs I was so excited to see Gibbs run out of that tunnel...when it happened I was just in awww of his return finally..then when portis broke that 60 yarder off I have never felt the rush of energy like ever before...

Smashinmatt Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 there was a '92 game at RFK versus Dallas where Aikman as hit while throwing. His arm had not come forward the whole way and i believe Danny Copeland scooped it up and ran it into the endzone for the win. that was the greatest game i have ever seen (regular season yes, but still...)

jrockster21 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 2nd quarter of Superbowl 22, no contest. Lighting up the scoreboard like that in that fashion in the superbowl may never be topped. Add to that it was the second-string, Buccaneer reject that was tearing it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I was watching that game my first year @ Central Missouri State. I was in my room at the Lambda Chi Alpha House with a 4 other guys. Two of us were pulling for the Skins and the other 3 just jumped on the Cowboy Bandwagon. After that play I got up ran out of my room, ran up and down the hall way found a roll of toilet paper on the floor and threw it against the wall while the four other guys looked at me in pure and utter surprise. :jump: Good times it tell you good times! :wavetowel I hate the Cowboys, I hate em, I hate em, I hate em!!!!! :cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 My favorite memory is Dexter Manley batting the screen pass up in the air where it neatly fell into the arms of Darryl Grant. I was screaming, yelling and laughing all at the same time as #77 easily shook off Tony Dorsett's feeble attempt at a tackle and lumbered into the endzone. At that moment, I realized I was about to attend my first Super Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTaylor42 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 12-31-1972 The NFC Championship game vs Dallas. I was 8 years old. Charley Taylor caught two touchdown passes to help beat the Cowgirls, and to go on to the Super Bowl that year against the Dolphins. Thanks to TK and Tarhog, I get to relive that momment. http://extremeskins.com/101/j.mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonniey Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 When Darrel Green made the play that broke the Bears Back during the 1986 Playoffs. The Bears were heavily favoured but it was a tight game and then Green made an amazing punt return, leaping tackles and pulling a hangstream, finally limping into the endzone.

Stone Cold Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 we we sucked a few years ago and were playing the giants. we go up early by 7. then dg ints a pass and returns it for 6 to put us up by an early 14. probably the easiest div win we've had since gibbs left.
