RDSKNFN_48 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Since the NFL Network suits decided they wanted to show "Great Moments In :dallasuck History I thought I'd do the same here..... It's hard to have one moment but it's fun to do any ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I Think that Grant's INT was the most important, but the seat cushion game is still my fav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunBunch7 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 John Riggins run in the Super Bowl our first Super Bowl victory gets my vote. Mine too, even though I was only 10 yrs old and it was the VERY FIRST game I ever watched. It led us to our 1st Super Bowl Championship. Now my personal favorite is the 4th down goal line stand against the vikings in the 87-88 NFC Championship...I have seriously watched it at least 400-500 times. I LOVE the roar of the crowd as the ball hits Darren Nelson in the chest then boinks out of bounds....there was a milisecond of silence then a huge ROAR! The DG punt return a week earlier is one of my favorites too. In fact, when I was in high school I painted a 30X40 picture of him "cutting" which tore his rib cartilidge muscles.

mhalfhill Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It was actually Gary Hogeboom's pass Grant intercepted, as White had already been knocked out of the game by Dexter (another great moment)... Great job on the poll though, brought back a lot of great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpelliot Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Gotta go with the Diesel's run in Super Bowl XVII. My dad had a copy of the SBXVII highlights on Beta. I wore the tape out watching it thousands of times during my childhood. Good times. HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 GPM moving the team from Boston to DC would be first, but in terms of plays I'd have to go with Riggins in SB XVII followed closely by Grant's INT in the NFC Championship Game. I like the plays you listed, but if it wasn't during a post season game, it cannot really be considered as the greatest moment for a team with 5 NFL Championships.

BleedBNG Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 SS wasn't fired. I could tell around November '03 that he didn't want to be here anymore. Can you believe it started at the beginning of the season when SS was ticked off because Dan Snyder suggested to SS who he wanted as the backup QB. I'd say that was the BEST meddling move in Snyder history. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryBrownsFan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I voted for "The Quarter", but an honorable mention goes to the NFC Championship game against Dallas where Ken Houston stopped Walt Garrison at the 1 foot line at the end of the game. I don't remember the year. I hope I didn't mess up the details, I'm willing to be corrected if anyone else can recognize the game I'm describing. But the picture of the play in my mind and the excitement of the moment remembered make that one of my all time great Redskins moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manleyistheman Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I selected 'Other.' While the Darryl Grant int return and Riggins run in the SB were great, it could be argued that neither would have happened had Dexter not sacked Danny White. The Skins were up 14-3 with under a minute left in the first half when the Cowboys were driving the ball and were around the Skins 30 yard line. Manley beat Pat Donovan and nailed Danny White almost full speed. White is out! Hogeboom, who had thrown less than 10 passes in his NFL career, is in the NFC Championship game. If Dexter doesn't knock Danny White out and they score to make it 14-10 at the half, the Cowboys gain momentum and who knows what happens after that specially considering how stingy their defense could be. But, Dexter does knock White out of the game, later tips a Hogeboom pass that Darryl Grant takes to the house, in the Superbowl Riggins breaks a takle for a 43-yard touchdown run to take a 21-17 lead on their way to the Redskins first Super Bowl victory. My votes goes to Dexter's sack of Danny White! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 One I forgot (with this team so many memories) Darrell Green's running down of Tony Dorsett on MNF.

pjfootballer Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 As the thread suggests, the most memorable is the Riggins run. It gives me goose bumps every time I watch it and hear Frank Herzog's voice as he calls it. But the most important would be the Darryl Grant INT. That put Gibbs and the team in line to make a run at 3 (almost 4) titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Riggo's Super Bowl run was the clear choice for me. 35 points in the 2nd Quarter against Denver would be next. Moss' two catches to win Monday Night over Dallas is the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Looney Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I had to go with the Riggins run as well. That is the one play that to me epitomizes what Redskins football is all about. Hardnosed, brash, in your face, shedding defenders like they were little children on the field. I kind of tear up just thinking about that. All of the plays listed were great, though. The Redskins have a history deeper than almost any other team in the NFL. Another candidate for greatest moment in 'Skins history...the return of Gibbs. Because of him, we actually have a fighting chance at a 4th Lombardi Trophy in '06. You gotta believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
