Remember that whole "no team has ever come back after being down by more than 7" thing? Best Blowouts: Alright, there were a few teams that scored more than us but this is better than 42-10? 5) SB XXXVII: Buccaneers 48, Raiders 21 Best Player Performance: 5) (tie) SB XXII: Doug Williams — 340 pass yards, 4 TD; I guess we take what we can get. Most impressive Super Bowl defensive performance: Neither a Mann nor a Manley... Best Signature NFL Films Moment: 2) SB XVIII: Marcus Allen reverses field for 74-yard TD run against Redskins in SB XVIII We did win a few of these didn't we? Best Blooper: 1) SB VII: Garo Yepremian's attempted pass that turned into a Redskins touchdown Of course it takes a blooper for us to score at all... Best Halftime Show: 5) Chubby Checker with the Rockettes and 88 grand pianos at Super Bowl XXII I'm sure glad that there was something to see that night, it's not like the game was a big deal or anything. Best Super Bowl Quotes: 5) SB XXII: Reporter to Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, "How long have you been a black quarterback?"

Riggo#44 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Best Super Bowl Quotes: 5) SB XXII: Reporter to Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, "How long have you been a black quarterback?" This just goes to show you the amount of effort that actually went into this article - this question was one of the most commonly quoted "dumb questions." Problem is - it was never asked. Williams was asked when it started to matter that he was a black QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3264720Best Upsets: 5) SB XVIII: Raiders 38, Redskins 9 Didn't we pull of one of the biggest upsets ever? Remember that whole "no team has ever come back after being down by more than 7" thing? That 38-9 still stands as the biggest ever. We rolled over everyone that year just like in 1991. Our two losses were only by one point each and the Offense racked up 540 points all year. Even though the Raiders were 12-4 they had alot of close calls. Not to mention we beat them earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 more complaints and b-ing, what else is new on this forum You know, you can leave. Nobody wants you to stay here if your gonna make retarded posts like this. We could easily replace you with noob who actually has input to the discussion. As for the previous superbowls, I can't comment on that much, but the Doug Williams question has been proven false. An earlier post sent you the link to Snopes. Part of me still wants to believe it, though. Reporters are kinda stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightwchmn Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 How long will it take you people to learn??? The Redskins are probably one of the most disrespected teams in American Sports. To get ANY recognition, they have to go three times as far as anyone else... They are never mentioned in great SuperBowl Moments... They are never mentioned when "forums" discuss teams that almost went undefeated (1991 - 14-2 - second loss was a gimme to the Eagles once the record was out of reach) They are never mentioned as one of the top teams of the 1980's (San Fran, Giants, Chicago...) On, and On, and On... Yet... they are listed as one of the top five professional sports teams that people "love to hate", along with Dallas, the Raiders and the Yankees?!?! Does that make sense?? I can see the Cowboys with their "America's Team" gloat ...the Raiders with their nasty play... the Yankee's because they just dominate... but the 'Skins? What have they ever done to anyone? Except this... 1) They come from D.C. - the seat of Government and everyone loves to hate D.C. 2) No one will ever give them any respect with the "politically incorrect" Redskin name ...but I say screw them all - Hail to the Redskins!! It makes it all the sweeter when they DO win!! :2cents: :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natsfan3 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 That 38-9 still stands as the biggest ever. We rolled over everyone that year just like in 1991.
