bakedtater1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I don't think I ever recall seeing a Super Bowl thread started on any Super Bowl Sunday here in the stadium. So I'd like to give it a whirl and try it each Superbowl Sunday. I figured maybe this could be a great place to speak about today's big game, any other Super Bowl game, Redskins Super bowls wins or losses.. anything anybody can share about the Redskins, sure I have Google and YouTube but why when I have one stop shopping here. Today I intend to make it a festivity and get really involved by watching the game and not only the game but all the pregame stuff leading up to it. I will be rooting for the Rams. Enjoy the game everybody and be merry. I remember the Redskins broncos game so vividly clear because that's when we were living in southern California and my father worked for design masonry and through the playoffs won a handful of money and by then obviously everybody knew how die-hard of a fan he was so one of the big wigs offered him tickets to the Super Bowl in San Diego and he turned them down because he knew for sure the Super Bowl was in Florida and couldn't afford to travel there, I know over the several years I've mentioned this story before but every Super Bowl it reminds me of that. The game against the bills my uncle a die hard bills fan lived across the street.. remember than when you made banners off the computer with all the printer paper?.. we made one up that was about 10 ft long saying something I can't remember and we went across the street and went marching around in their house with it..IT WAS EPIC.. I also won a lot of lunch money. Those were the two Super bowls I were alive for, please for those who were alive and witnessed the other Super bowls please feel free to share any memories or memories of any Redskins Super Bowl for that matter. Still to this day though on a more very excellent intense on the edge of your seat game best Super Bowl game ever I have to give to the Patriots and Panthers. The year before Adam v's game winning field goal was a pretty damn good Super Bowl too. That particular Super Bowl really really does have a special place in my heart..that of course was the Superbowl of the 9/11 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKskins Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Was born in 1987 and only been into NFL/been a Skins fan for about 10 years now so no Skins stories from me unfortunately. Any Redskin worth his salt should be rooting hard for the Rams tonight I would think given the McVay connection. Brady, Belichick and the cheatriots have had a great run and nothing but absolute respect for their achievements (although less respect for some of the methods they've employed to get there) but it is time for a changing of the guard. Sean McVay is one of our own - was an absolute credit to the organisation when he was here and produced some of the most exciting offense I've seen in my short Skins history. The guy oozes class, and I for one will be rooting hard for him and the Rams to lift that Lombardi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkman56 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I'm an Ol New Jersey guy that started rooting for the skins years ago. 1983 to be exact. Since Im from NY Giants area, it was fun to pump my chest at all my Giants friends. Us fans have enjoyed several more superbowls since then and I think a lot of us started taking this playoff thing for granted. I know I did. But OH how times have changed. It has become increasingly hard to root for this team. In all fairness, I've seen way too many games decided by horrible officiating as well. And it has caused me to question the integrity of this game. My interest level has nose dived over the past 5-6 years and I stopped routing my weekends around this game & team. The superbowl has become less interesting as well. Not just because we're not in it, but because of the way the other teams GOT in it. Yes they are talented teams, but as I said the officiating steered these teams there. It was blatantly obvious, and is a disgrace. This is the most flawed sport in our nation and probably the world. Everything should be subject to replay. Bad calls , no calls, etc. Shouldn't matter if game takes 5 hrs. Get it right! Oh and, this superbowl will be " the changing of the guard" as the Rams will win. Its good for the league so it will be........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I’m excited for tonight’s game. Final game of the nfl season until August when preseason rolls around. I’ll be in withdrawal mode next weekend 😭😭😭😭 the nba/nhl/mlb offseasons aren’t that long, what gives NFL??? 😭😭 my favorite super bowl memory was saints vs colts, as i was at that super bowl actually, the entire weekend was memorable. Got to spend the entire weekend in 75 degree weather while my friends were all back at home in the blizzard. Got to play touch football with Tom cruise and Katy Holmes (back when my dad had redskins connections). Don’t think I’ll ever do anything like that again 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veteranskinsfan Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I was in the Rose Bowl and saw the famous Riggo run that beat the Dolphins. Hard to beat that as a Skins fan. Also enjoyed watching the 42 point Super Bowl when we beat the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
