jrockster21 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 ...was 1991, the last truly dominating Gibbs team, which I'm sure no one needs reminding shelacked a potent Bills team 37-24 in the superbowl. They opened up the season with 45 points against Detroit, 33 points against Dallas, 34 points against Phoenix and Cincinnatti. I'm not comparing this team to the 91 Skins, just thought I'd point out that stat! I found it pretty encouraging!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 What I find interesting is the Skins were No. 13 in the league in scoring, despite some severe struggles from time to time. The Redskins are a little more consistency away from being pretty damn good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chants Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 This Skins team is the most hungry since the 1982 rendition, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins are a little more consistency away from being pretty damn good . And I believe we saw that in the last three games...which is why I feel extremely confident about not only the Tampa game but the entire post-season. If they can continue to play the way they did in the last three games, teams are in for a BIG surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 1991 was also the last time the Redskins won 5 or more in a row with all divisional opponents being a part of the streak. Whats interesting is that this year, even though Arizona is no longer in the division they were still one of the 5 we beat. Just like in 1991.

JoeKnowsBest Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Another interesting stat is this was the first year since 1991 where we started the season off with a 3-0 record... just like the 1991 Redskins. Really starts to get your hopes up when you think about all this info, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 And I believe we saw that in the last three games...which is why I feel extremely confident about not only the Tampa game but the entire post-season. If they can continue to play the way they did in the last three games, teams are in for a BIG surprise. Agreed. The past 3 games (even if they have a stinker somewhere along the line in the postseason) are very encouraging for the direction of this team. Now, vs. Dallas, everything was working. We struggled a little at times vs. New York. In both those games, we scored 35 points. Against the Eagles on the road, we scored 24 points on offense despite not playing well...that's impressive IMO. Last year we had "good" offensive games where we didn't score 4 times on offense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Just hold the bucs to less than 17 points. They don't win when they score less and they don't lose when they score more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had "good" offensive games where we didn't score 4 times on offense! Exactly -- what I've said repeatedly is that in the last three games, we saw ALL THREE components of the team -- offense, defense and special teams -- contribute to the W in some way. Against Dallas everything was humming. Against New York, our defense let some points get scored, but also came up with some huge takeaways. Obviously Portis and Moss and the offense were clicking. Against Philthy, The running game was unstoppable, special teams came up with a huge turnover, and the Defense put the offense in very good field position with turnovers. We didn't see that earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Helluva good stat! Thanx for bringing it to my attention. There are many interesting stats about this team. Somebody told me that the 'skins have never swept Philly and Dallas in the same season before this year, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
