fuji869 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Super Bowl XVII Redskins 27 Dolphins 17 Super Bowl XXII Redskins 42 Broncos 10 Super Bowl XXVI Redskins 37 Bills 24 Mine has got to be Super Bowl XXII. The 1987 Washington Redskins were such a scrappy rag tag team the refused to give. Plus it gave me extra ammunition when I use to lived in Denver and got razzed by Bronco Fans.

jobedoza Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The last one. Super Bowl XXVI. To be honest, that was the only one I really remember. I was extremely young for the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsince72 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'd have to say XXII. Doug's performance is legendary. It looked like we were going to lose early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 22 was the first one I ever watched so it has a special place in my heart, the later one I didn't get to watch all the way through since our youth group had a Party and we had to leave to travel home :/ So I missed all but the last two onside kicks :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nothing will ever beat the feeling I had when Riggo ran to the endzone on 4th and 1. That was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanyt Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 As much as I love the Riggins run, I gotta go with lighting up the Broncos in the 2nd QTR. now that was freaking awesome... Such a great performance makes me feel bad for all those around here that were crapping their diapers and were too young to watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thGenSkinsFan Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 They all were great. I can remember watching Super Bowl XVII, and cheering with my dad even though I was about 8 years old. XXII was great because I was taking a lot of heat from Broncos fans during the first quarter, then they all shut up at half time. But my favorite was Super Bowl XXVI That team was just awesome. Plus, it was my senior year in High School, so I was bragging A LOT. Also, if it wasn't for a fluke by the Cowboys, and resting starters against the Eagles they'd be talking about the Patriots trying to tie the Redskins at 19-0......Oh well, still a great team.

sens11 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hard to pick one..but I'm going with the first. XVII. At the age of 7, John Riggins and the crew, turned me into a fan for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgenJen Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Super Bowl XXII. Hubby and I were in college watching it with a bunch of fellow Skins fans. One couldn't take it after the first quarter and went for a walk. He came back at half time and refused to believe us when we told him the score. That was the most amazing quarter in Skins history!

Captain Wiggles Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The Broncos win for sure. Im not old enough to remeber the 82 season so SB XXII. I remember being down 10-0 and thinking this really sux, they might actually lose to the broncos. My folks are big Skins fans, there first house was in arlington Va. We lived in Va beach at the time and most of the kids i knew were skins fans. Even now I still cant believe the second qaurter that they had to beat the john Elways. That had to be by far the best Ive ever seem them play. even better than my favorite team , the 91 skins. Lived in Greensboro by then, and you could tell after week 3 against the Cardinals man this team is going all the way. I think to that point the skins had shutout both the cardinal and the lions. They also squeeked by a Cowboys team that they later lost to. I would say for me the SB XXII was the most memorable. I would imagine beating the Dolphins would be the best in my lifetime. For people in their 30's and older that was probably the best game they had ever seen. Especially with the way the Diesel caped the win! Oh well, to bad the Skins havent been close in a long time. Maybe if the Giants win history will repeat itself and the Skins will be next in line for the SB.:1stplace: EDIT: Wow i guess I was wrong. Even the guys in their 40's are saying XXII. Makes me glad I'm old enough to remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CounterTrey75 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Super Bowl XXII - I still have holes in my ceiling from celebrating during the 2nd qtr onslaught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_U Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah, Riggins run was probably my first football game recollection because I was like 8 yrs old, but remember watching it with my grand dad. As for the Denver game, I was a little older and actually watched it with a Broncos fan. And I was a high school senior for the Bills game. Seeing and remembering all 3, they all had their storylines or moments, but I'm going with the Bills game. Their offense had been unstoppable that yr with Kelley, Thomas, and Reed. But the Skins dominated that game and literally shut down that Bills O. I can still see Reed slamming his helmet to the turf!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Super Bowl XXII Redskins 42 Broncos 10 This was easily the most memorable to me. I remember XVII pretty well, but the way the media & the commentators were slobbering over Elway & the Orange Crush, they basically never gave us a chance. Plus, once we were down 10-0, they really were writing us off...until Art Monk got the ball rollin' with a HUGE 3rd down conversion & then Williams to Sanders starts a flurry of scoring that has not been seen since. Unbelievably awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3TIMECHAMPS Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nothing will ever beat the feeling I had when Riggo ran to the endzone on 4th and 1. That was amazing. This is the one! I was 12. I videotaped it with this huge VCR. I wore that tape out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Have to go with 17, so much history to it 10 YEARS latrer rematch of SB 7. It put the Skins on the fast track to the glory days. You always remember your first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I remember 22 & 26 like it was yesterday...it would really be a tie. I feel like i enjoyed the one vs the BIlls more since i was a tad older (9th grade)...so i will go with that one. But u cant go wrong. I cant imagine how experiencing the SB would be at my age now.....i was a 14 year old kid back then I can only imagine how the celebration would be nowadays. HTTR!

wysknz1 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 XXII Living in the area of the bronx it was a very good win. especially to stomp them and after 2 weeks of listening to doodoo about how they were the favorites and soooo good, Elway , no way the Skins could win and the local media jumping on the bandwagon for them, man I could go on and on...

ECU-ALUM Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 XXII...it was my senior year in High-School and after the first Elway score I got a lot of phone calls from friends who were Bronco fans...suddenly after we took the lead...the phone was very quiet. To this day of a team if a team is down by a huge margin (thanks to the 2nd quarter) they always point to that 2nd quarter and say, "Hey remember when Washinton scored 35 in a quarter it can happen." I watched that Super Bowl last week on NFL Network...it was so much fun...I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
