neongel Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Forgetting, of course, the SuperBowl, I think the 83 team was the best. Maybe it was just my favorite. Didn't they set the scoring record at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number twenty-eight Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 There's no way the '83 team isn't first or second in this deal (with '91 in the other spot). Despite losing the big one, they set a ton of records and were as dominant as any team could be. They were something like +43 in turnovers, which I doubt any of us will live to see broken.

Mania Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think our 1983 team that lost to the Raiders was better than the team that won the SB previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotomacSkinsFan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 the '83 team would have been the best football team in history had we won that year. BUT, they didn't and are therefore our FOURTH best team ever. Winning is everything and records are nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The problem with the '83 team is they weren't balanced. They were like the 2000 Rams before Warner broke his thumb or the 98 Vikings before Randy Moss choked in the playoffs- incredible offense, but weak D, thanks to a ton of injuries in the secondary, and Darrell Green only being a rookie. They used to call the secondary the bomb squad because everyone could throw deep on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins4ever Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 It's hard to rank them. But I like the 1992 Redskins better than the 1983 Redskins simply because we won the Super Bowl. We should have won it in 1983, but didn't. 1979 Redskins 10-6(Good team, but not great) 1982 Redskins 8-1(Stuck together during strike season and won SB) 1983 Redskins 14-2(lost both games by a total of two points) 1986 Redskins 12-4(Could have been the SB champion but fell short) 1987 Redskins 11-4(SB Champs! 1991 Redskins 14-2(the best by far) 1996 Redskins 9-7(started off 7-1 and finished 2-6) 2005 Redskins 10-6(This is a very, very good team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVA2Tampa Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The 1982-83 Redskins were a solid team with an unstoppable RB in John Riggins. The 'Skins rode the Diesel all the way to their first SB victory. The 1983-84 Redskins had a +45 turnover ratio in the regular season...a record that still stands to this day. It is hard to believe they got blown out 38-9 in SB XVIII...something stinks about that loss. It took "the quarter" in SB XXII to erase the pain of SB XVIII...by halftime in SB XXII, all I felt was laughter and joy! However, the most dominant Redskins team all around was definitely the 1991-92 'Skins...they played at a level so far above most of the rest of the NFL that year, you just knew they were going to the SB by Week 10, and you knew they were going to play the Bills, who were totally dominating the AFC that year. SB XXVI was also the first SB won by the 'Skins in a non-strike season. The Redskins could have gone undefeated that year, but for a narrow loss against Dallas and a loss to Philly in a meaningless game in the last week of the season. Let's make it LOMBARDI #4 this year!!! HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with this...and that to ratio is correct. Also, the two games they lost were both by 1 point...to Dallas and G.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadyjr Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 1991 is the greatest team I have rooted for in any sport. I agree they are #1. If not for the Dallas hail mary at the end of the first half in our 12th game, we would have gone into a dreary Philly 15-0 and would have won that game for sure. At 14-1 we were in serious Indy Vs. Arizona mode. I always defend that team when people talk about the greatest teams ever. I'm sick of the 85' Bears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Defense Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 you are crazy to think that the 86 skin team could have won the superbowl--Jay Schroader was not a very good QB, and our running game was weaker that year. 83 team was awesome--#2 in my opinion--we could just destroy opposing teams. no one could stop us. the raiders game was all about the blocked punt and momentum. we didn't have a chance after the first quarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpeyster Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The 1991 team is BY FAR the best Redskins team ever. The 1991 team won 11 straight gams to beging the year and lost only 2--a walkoff FG at Dallas and in OT against Philly in the final week of the season when every starter was sitting. The 1991 Skins, not the '85 Bears or the '98 Broncos or the '05 Colts were the closest team to pulling off the first 16-0 regular season ever. In the NFC playoffs, the two teams we faced were teams we had both beaten in the regular season by a combined score of 101-17!!! We ended our NFC run by beating the 12-4 Lions 41-10 (after beating them 45-0 in the season opener). In terms of stats, we led the NFL in points scored and were 2nd best in points againt. We flat out DOMINATED the league that year. For God's sake, it took opposing teams FOURTEEN QUARTERS to score a single point on us at home to begin the season. That's insane!!!! And although the Superbowl XXVI score (37-24) doesnt seem like a massive blowout, we were up on an extremely good 13-3 Bills team 24-0 in the 3rd quarter before they got some garbage time points. This one isnt close, IMO. That 1983 offense could score like few others, but the 1991 team was balanced beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to call the secondary the bomb squad because everyone could throw deep on us. The defense in 1983 actually wasn't that bad. They were something like 7th or 8th in points allowed and were #1 in rush defense. They gave up a lot of passing yards because the Skins were always so far ahead that teams had no choice but to pass. They also had 34 interceptions. IMO here is how I would rate them: 1991 1983 1982 1987 1972 1979 1986 2005 1999 1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I just looked up some stats on the 1991 team, and theres no way they arent #1 and maybe the best team of all time. Started 11-0, only lost two games by a COMBINED 5 points, one in OT and one with all the starters sitting.. They were by FAR the #1 team in scoring and were #2 for fewest points allowed. Then they blew through the playoffs, winning 24-7, 41-10, and 37-24... Pretty damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love_Them_Dirtbags Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Our '91 team was just sick, and '83 just a notch below. After that, '82 and '87. The '87 team is still my personal favorite -- so clutch and gutsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazhog Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 91' team best ever! I'll bet Gibbs would agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frediemac Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 But for those of you that might not be old enough to remember: The 79 Team was the 1st Team to Win 10 Games and NOT make the Playoffs-That Team was Awesome except for Roger the Dodger could have been in the SuperBowl. The 85 Team was the 2nd Team to Win 10 Games and NOT make the Playoffs, and of course The 89 Team was the 3rd Team etc etc etc... So that Led to the NFL Installing the 2nd WILD CARD TEAM. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtMonk_fav.redskin Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 91' team best ever! I'll bet Gibbs would agree... :logo: That whole 1991-92 season was magical... I had the opportunity to go to the Lions/Redskins playoff game in RFK, being from Michigan I would have flown to DC on a charter with a bunch of lion fans... My wife was expecting our first child which was due the weekend of the game... I stayed home, but my daughter was dressed in Redskin gear for the SB against the bills!!!

brandies Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 That is hard 1991-dominating on offense and defense 1982, ditto above 1983 defense not solid but lots of turnovers (team had flu for superbowl) 1987 hard call, less talented but had Gibbs 1972 lost to one of the best teams ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgitta Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Ok Seashells, let's see you start a thread like this at your board. (the one with the locked door) Oh, wait...I forgot you don't have a history....worth mentioning I have to go with '83. First, cause I was there, and watched the news as some 5000 Raiders fans welcomed home their team, while thousands and thousands brought home the Skins, and I'll never forget the "We still love you" banners. Their ain't no fan like a Redskin fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think when ESPN ranked the greatest teams of all time the 1991 Skins Superbowl team finished in the top 3 all time. That team achieved some great things. 1. Points scored -- Skins were #1 that season 2. Points allowed -- Skins were top 5 that season Avg. Margin of victory was out standing Strength of Schedule. Skins that season was 6-2 against playoff teams. Skins had a top 10 defense, I think it was in the top five as a matter of fact. Sacks allowed, I think the Skins still own the NFL record for like 9 or 11. Keep in mind the Dolphins had some outstanding offensive lines that didn't allow many sacks but they never led the NFL in rushing as a team while only giving up 11 sacks. That was the greatest performance by an offensive line ever to me for one season. Sacks given out. Skins had over 50 sacks as a team. Very underated Defense. Shut out 3 of their first 5 opponents. Philly and Detroit being 2 of them. Playoff squads. That arguably was Detroit's best ever team at 12-4. Shut Philly out 23-0 on Monday night. That Philly team had the late greats Jerome Brown, Reggie White, Seth Joyner, Randall Cunningham amongst others. 1st in rushing as a team with Byner and Ricky Ervins. Lost 2 games by a combined 5 points. Correct me if I'm wrong but that team had 3 1000 yd WR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
