OxonHillSkinsFan89 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Wassup True Believers of the Maroon and Yellow *snickering* 10 years!! This has been one crazy arse decade for our Washington Redskins. As the year and the decade draw to a close, I wanted you guys thoughts as to what was your best and worst moments of the team. Best Moments - The 2000 Season when we signed every available free agent known to man. I actually thought this was going to be our year for a fourth Super Bowl. (like the Ol Ball Coach said "Hindsight is 50/50") Santana Moss two late TD's in beating Dallas. Moss' OT TD to beat Jacksonville (that was a great game). The Return of Joe Gibbs Art Monk and Darrell Green entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame Redskins go up 28-0 against Dallas at Halftime on the way to a 35-7 mugging. Gregg Williams sending out 10 players in honor of Sean Taylor Worst Moments - The Death of Sean Taylor Norv Turner, Marty Schottenheimer, Terry Robiskie, Steve Spurrier, Joe Gibbs, Jim Zorn Vinny Cerrato is still with the team Stephen Davis fumbled against Dallas on MNF. Dallas scores to beat us 13-10. Throwing away draft picks and signing overpaid and under producing players. Shaun Suisham missing a 23 yard FG against New Orleans Gus Freotte slamming his head into the wall against the Giants after scoring a TD. (Gains a concussion and we wind up with a tie). I could go on and on but I gotta leave SOMETHING for y'all. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Good thread idea Oxon.. Hmmm, lets see here.. BEST MOMENTS: The magic that was '05. Sadly, its the best Redskins team I've been around to know. The '04 team. The record certainly didn't show, but we were one tough team that year. After you played us, you felt it the next day. BAD MOMENTS: Sean's passing Let down's in '06, '08 and now '09 after showing such promise the year before. Except this year I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Best: Return of JG Playoff run in 2005 35-7 and 14-13 CP's very first run as a Skin Jags game in 2006 Beat downs of 49ers and Lions Worst: Death of ST Falling apart in Seattle in 2005 and 2007 2006 2009 Vinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The Frerotte head butt was in the 90s. The 13-10 Dallas game was in 2004, and Stephen Davis was long gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkfan63 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 How could you say signing all those free agents in 2000 was one of the best moments when it turned out to be a huge mistake? Also, I would argue the Shottenheimer signing was one of the better moments...he had the team headed in the right direction. The firing of Shotty by Synder, IMO, turned out to be one of the worst decisionsof the decade. I wonder how many playoff appearances were lost because of that decision?

scruffylookin Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Best moments for me are easily the following 3: 2000 draft day: Drafting LaVar and Chris I was never more thrilled on draft day than I was that day. January 2004: The day that the news broke that Joe Gibbs was coming back was one of the great days. I felt like we just won the Super Bowl. 2005 Playoff run: It felt like old times those few weeks back in December 2005/January 2006. Big games with playoff implications that we actually won and did not fold. As for worst, there are just too many to choose from. I'd say the entire decade is a "worst" with only a choice sprinkle of good things to select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Best: 5-0 run to end season in 2005 and make playoffs Portis for Bailey 4-0 run in 2007 to honor ST and make the playoffs Beating Dallas in 2002 to break 10 game losing streak Beating Dallas twice in 2005 (with Mon night miracle) Beating Dallas on late FG in 2006 beating Dallas 27-6 in 2007 Beating Dallas in Dallas in 2008 Beating Dallas in 2009* (hopefully) JAX OT win in 2006 Arrington INT for TD vs. Carolina in 2001 HOF's Monk & Green Worst: Trung Canidate over Stephen Davis Spurrier Davis Fumble vs. Dallas 2006 (minus JAX & Dallas games) 2009 Zorn Vinny Choosing Vinny over Greg Williams Starting 6-2 and finishing 8-8 in 2008 Trotter Carrier Archuletta Passing up Brees in 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The 13-10 Dallas game was in 2004, and Stephen Davis was long gone by then. I think he was referring to the Monday Night game in 2001 when Dallas won 9-7.. Davis fumbled with about 3 minutes left in the game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Best 14-13 win on MNF Worse 1st game I ever stopped watching in almost 35 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Best: Destroying Dallas 35-7 and starting a late playoff push Honorable mention: Going into Minnesota with Todd Collins as QB and surprising the Vikings in 2007 Worst: Death of Sean Taylor Honorable Mention: Tie Cincinatti game last year and Detroit game this year when you realized Zorn is not the answer at coach and your stuck with a lame duck as coach. Hopefully 2010-2019 Will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyUtah Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If I only pick 2 moments, I'd have to go with: BEST: Santana's 2 TD's to beat Dallas (with CP's 1st run a close second) WORST: Sean's passing/Gibbs calling the double time-out in the 1st game afterwards.

End2round2sanders Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 besides the obvious. This is what I got BEST: Lavars pick six vs Carolina in 2001 SKins beating Dallas at home in 2007 to make playoffs Taylors Fumble return for TD vs Philly and TB in playoffs Albert Connels I think 200 yard recieving game vs Jax. Clinton Portis first run as a skin Worst: The playoff loss to TB in 2000, the missed FG Loss to TB in 2006 Alstott did not get in 9-7 loss on MNF at Dallas the 13-10 loss at Dallas in Gibbs first year back thanks to Crayton the 6-7 loss to dallas this year the 36-0 shutout at the giants after their owner past away. Being shutout at home vs Dallas in 03-04 The 0-5 start in Martys season Former players Brad Johnson and Stephen Davis coming home to beat us. The carolina loss this year The home loss to Gb in 04-05 the portis TD called back that would have given us the lead late. THe LT touchdown as SD beat us in overtime 23-17 in OT in 05-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
