Most memorable Skins "on the field moment" in your life. Good&Bad

[kbso83432]

Sean Taylor would be most poster's #1 bad memory I assume. Let's keep it on the field.

Good: Doug Williams 2nd Quarter vs. Denver. It was looking like Super Bowl XVIII all over again especially after Elway's bomb on the first play and Doug's injury followed by Schroeder being sacked as soon as he entered the game.

Bad: Marcus Allen reversing field on us in Super Bowl XVIII.

As an Army brat who did grow up in the DMV but pops was stationed in Germany at the time, the game started around 11pm our time, so when Marcus broke, my dad turned to me and said it's time to go to bed son. As an 8 or 9 year old boy who was in his 2nd year of Fandom and had never really seen the Skins end the season with a loss, yeah, I cried myself to sleep.

Santana Moss two TD catches in the final minutes against Dallas.

Here you go - early in the season but one of the best games ever. I remember being at the Redskins bar in Culver City celebrating w/ only a handful of fans in disbelief.

How about this one? A surreal moment - on their way to their last SB win in a playoff game against the Falcons RFK is raining seat covers. Awesome.

Best moment has to be Riggo's run against Miami in the SB. Most memorable for me is Thiesmann breaking his leg. It hit close to home as I had a similar break just the year before.

That was classic. Gibbs with the Gatorade shower!

Rypien was so good in 91. The seat cushion game. Hammer and Holyfield on the sideline. F Glanville and that whole act.

No one wants to mention the '37 championship, the first one of the franchise? Most forgettable is that 73-0 loss in '40.

I wasnt even born in 37. So for me, it would have to be the Riggins run against Miami on a good note as I was at that game.

And Thiesmans leg snapping like a twig on a bad note, as sadly i was also at that game. And had i been able to, I surely would have kicked Lawrence Taylor squarely in the nuts at the end of that game.

Neither was I. I thought this might be some small homage to dad. Yeah, that Riggins run was great. It sealed the deal and we beat those annoying Killer Bees. Remember when AJ Duhe tipped a Theismann pass in the air near our goal line and nearly caught it for a TD? Theismann did a great job batting the ball down. After that, I knew fortune was favoring us that day. Somehow, though, that Darryl Grant pick-six in the NFC Championship Game that year really still resonates me. Maybe because it was against the Cowboys, but, man, that was unforgettable.

Theismann's injury was borderline something ABC shouldn't have broadcast. I try to forget that and am glad to see Joe happy and healthy, though he does say that one leg is still longer than the other. Of course, Jay Schroeder came in right after that and threw a 45-yard strike to Monk. And off went the Schroeder era.

Worst moment 1999 divisional round against the Bucs the score was 14-13 we were down. We were moving the ball down the field for a win in final 2 minutes when Norv Turner inexplicably made 2 of the worst play calls in our history straying away from short pass which was working and taking back to back shots down field in end zone. We missed FG and lost

Best moment was probably RG3 td run against Vikes. Thought we were set for next decade+

 

[kbso83432]

Griffin's TD run. Wow, that seems like a decade ago.

 

[BoiseMike19]

Played in H.S. with him and his brother Tim a year younger. Now Typ's son is the QB at Boise State. He has got my vote...



Guys, we are going to have a good year at BSU this year. And Mark is not just a Super Bowl MVP, he has been a rock solid dude since the time I met him in the 4th grade in little league baseball.

 

[BoiseMike19]

Shit, guess I screwed this up by not paying attention to the thread title....sorry guys!

Much like Portis' first carry as a Redskin... all smoke and mirrors.

I remember how some Cowboys fans reacted to that, though. Very afraid. Too bad it didn't last.

No doubt, he had alot of us fooled.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Not a Redskins fan but I did grew up in a Redskins household. Yes they are off field

Good

waking up every Sunday to my mom cooking sausage biscuits and wearing her "Sunday Best" Chris Hanburger jersey.


Bad for my dad

The first Dolphin Redskin Super Bowl. I was about 3 or 4 and walked into the room, looked at the TV, and said I want the team in blue to win.

 

[redskinsfan]

Not like he was terrible. He made two Pro-Bowls, nearly had 10,000 rushing yards, could pass block really well, and ran 4.26 40. Not too shabby.

The Schroeder era? If you blinked you probably missed it. His greatest contribution to the Redskins came a few years later when the Raiders were dumb enough to trade Lachey for him.
