They were really good but not the best. Rypien still only completed 59% of his passes yet was the least sacked qb that year. I mean there are games he's missing guys wide open all the time due his crazy inaccuracy. Yes he basically never missed the deep ball to counter that. I think if Rypien was more around 66% comp percentage yes I'd say dam near the best team but he is the variable.
I was in my late 20's during this NFL season. Me and my buddies (with a few girlfriends sprinkled in) would watch this Redskins team on TV but would turn the volume down on the TV and tune in WMAL on the radio to listen to Frank Herzog, Sam Huff, and Sonny Jurgensen with commentary. What a colorful trio they were.
@@mtthreerun1665Listening to these three one time, there was a short pause from them saying anything and within that moment, we all heard that all too familiar sound of an aluminum can being opened! I'm sure it wasn't Pepsi!
Gary Clark of the Washington Redskins conducted at least 3 football camps at Native American reservations during his career. He wanted to know if they thought the Redskins name was racist. What he saw was Native Americans wearing Redskins gear and saying that they were proud to be a Redskin fan and the 5% that weren’t Redskins fans were Cowboys fans and that’s why they didn’t like the name.
Whenever news outlets posted polls of asking Native-Americans the results were usually over 90% said no. Growing up, maybe it was just in DC area, we were taught name was in honor of Native-Americans (learned later how it was offensive/racist word). Even the family of "Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf" who's portrait was their symbol, or logo, sued because they were proud of him being honored by becoming the teams symbol. * Everyone should Lookup- Blackfoot Chief John Two Guns White Calf to understand how important significant he was in history and for Native Americans.
That’s patently false. There were at least 24 tribes that did not support the nickname and did not like it. I hate when people only post some of the facts to try and support their case. Google Gary Clark native Americans. It mentions the football camps but also has the full story.
This took place my senior year of high school. One of my best friend's was a Bills fan needless to say we could not watch the Super Bowl together! GO SKINS
Where are the redskins that I knew and admired in my adolescence? The current Washington team is something else, they have nothing in common, I find it very difficult, if not impossible, to feel connected to them.
@johnp388 free agency took effect the following year, and Gibbs even said he quit coaching because of it. Jk cooke paid his players well. It was inevitable.
Top 5 greatest football teams of all time! Ridiculously dominant! I’m not a Washington fan…. But this team was leaps and bounds better than everyone that year.
I was in high school at the time, and remember Rypien just dropping bombs from all over the field. I still maintain that if he hadn't held out to start the 92 season, they would have been repeat champs. They were just slightly out of sync all year. that Bmitch fumble against the 49ers in the playoffs was the nail in the coffin. That 91 team was one of if not the best team ever, they were soo soo good.
@@ericradford2142 they had just beaten the cowboys 2 weeks prior to the post season. They could have beaten them again even though they could barely get out of their own way at times. If Rypien had gone to camp on time instead of holding out they could have repeated. The offense was just slightly out of sync
The last time the Redskins have even sniffed a Super Bowl. Since then, the Cowboys went to three SB and won three, Giants have gone to three and won two and the Eagles went to three and won one. Thanks to Dan Snyder, who now is finally gone for 24 seasons of failure.
Had the Redskins not unraveled just two years after this SB championship (winning a grand total of 7 games in 1993 and 1994), nearly all football fans would view this team as at least one of the top five greatest NFL teams of all time.
Charles Mann, just after the 13-minute mark, saying players are getting paid thousands of dollars to play a game they played as kids for nothing but a good job from coaches and fellow players, so they better be ready to play is a mindset that has been lost by most players today. Now, they are getting millions and rules that protect them much more, and players are still not happy and say it's still not enough. What a great team this was. It started from the top. High expectations = High results.
(TLDNR?!) I'm English and first heard the NFL broadcast on TV circa 1988 and I checked out the most well-known successful teams that were the Dolphins, Cowboys, 49ers, Bears, Giants and Redskins. I chose the Skins because of there cool uniform. I was all in quickly with the NFL. It's by far the best team sport there is. I read a couple of books with diagrams of plays and watched it on tv religiously. Thank God I was lucky in being initiated with legends/characters like Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, John Elway, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Jim McMahon, Jerry Glanville, the Oilers, Colts, Cardinals always being rubbish. On top of everyone (I thought so anyway) were the freaking Redskins* because of Joe Gibbs, Dexter Manley, John Riggins, Darryl Green, Art Monk, Charles Mann, Timmy Smith's 204 yards, Clint Didier (whose autograph I received in the post in England. It's framed and has been on display for 25+ years), Doug Williams whose autograph I got in Dallas airport in August 1990 when a kind person saw I was wearing my Redskins jacket** and pointed out DW at a table with a beautiful woman. He kindly gave me the autograph. We ended up on the same plane to LA. I was doing Camp America programs where I got a short term visa to work in Summer Camps. I did Camp Monroe, NY twice and Camp Swig, CA twice 90-93 , as an exchange at a high school in Garden Grove, CA 88/89 and 4 months at University of Kansas in Lawrence. I've not been to America sadly since 2001. Thank you for reading this unexpectantly rambly ramble. I'm reminiscing. Go Commanders! * I watched a CZcams video with a lot of Native Americans being surveyed who thought the logo, name, uniform wasn't racist.

I love reliving the Redskins championship days. If only Joe Gibbs could live to 200 years old,, and we could keep him as coach forever. He's the greatest coach of all time.
I love the Redskins! Always have and always will. HTTR HTTC. Love us now, love us as Commanders. Just nothing can ever come close to the REDSKINS, our name lives on forever... and then some. Nehow, let's get this dub tomorrow! WSH > NYG

Hey, my claim to fame is I say next to Jeff Bostic at Atlanta int’l airport in May 2022. Got pics of me flashing his rings (no he doesn’t usually carry them but he had taken them to some event and was returning them home). We talked for an hour. He is the coolest guy ever. He’s actually kind of small, surprisingly. His fingers are all gnarled, and his knee as well. He said the best center ever was Mike Webster.

But Jeff (I call him Jeff now) said the guy was so small he had to learn all the (some works that starts with K) science and applied it to blocking. Anyway, didn’t mean to drone on.
Good news. Washington are being sued by The Native American Guardians Association, which has been trying to get the Commanders to change the name back to *Redskins.*
I was so mad when Dallas beat them, but we fans knew the players were even more pissed and they took it out on their opponents for the rest of the season.

They used to be the Boston Braves. I'd love to see them reveal their name as Washington Braves, wait for the snowflake meltdown and then revealing a logo celebrating the military. There is quite a large marine base near Washington I gather.
What’s surprises me is B-Mitch is not in the Hall of Fame yet it’s sad he is one of the Best if not the best return man to ever play the game don’t compare his stats, with other kick returners
I know it’s more fashionable to talk about the 49ers Dynasty and the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty. But, the Washington Redskins were just as good as any of those teams during the jack Kent Cook/Joe Gibbs era. I would always pick my money on those guys, especially since they did it with, a different quarterback each time We also have to remember that if it weren’t for a botched handoff/fumble between Mark Rypien and Brian Mitchell in the following year in the NFC championship against the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys, the Redskins would have went to back to back Super Bowls
19:35 don’t underestimate Washington getting smart by trading for Jim Lachey. His job was to neutralize Lawrence Taylor. Even though LT was on the backside of his career, he single-handedly kept Joe Jacoby out of the Hall of Fame.
I cannot BELIEVE the narrator used the word “pockmarked” to describe Rypiens early years in DC!! 😂 I wonder if that was intentional. It sure is an odd choice of descriptor…. And there is the matter of his face… I mean, come on…
Growing up as a non-Texan Cowboys fan who hated the Redskins I can honestly say it ticks me off that they changed their names and look. Absolutely awful. If they ever bring it back I will root for them.
This is arguably one of the best teams ever assembled.1991 Redskins the last of the glory days!
Facts!
Some would argue the greatest team in NFL history....we should have gone 15-1 if not for the throw away last game.
Rypien was a 6th round pick like Brady but nobody gives him his flowers. He led the greatest team in nfl history
There should be a recording of Frank Herzog saying "Touchdown! Washington Redskins!" In the hall of fame.
You couldn't be more right!!
As a long time 49ers fan, you damn right I love when he said that.
I agree! Dude was a legend! Niners fan here also!
Jay Schroeder trade for Jim Lachey was a huge piece of the SB puzzle. One of the ultimate trade steals.
So was Mike Oliphant to the Browns for Earnest Byner!
Seemed like Gary Clark was always open. Unreal. What a player.
Should be in the Hall of Fame
Facts!@@brianreed9793
I had season tickets in 1991. I never had more confidence in a team week in and week out than with this great team. They were incredible to watch!
This is a great montage from perhaps the best team in NFL history

100% agree Redskins win baby win
Yeah no
Steve Sabol called, 1991 REDSKINS the best Superbowl team ever! Why? They beat everyone by average 17.2 points, shutting out many along the way!
30:18 - Art Monk. What a legend.

This is when the Redskins had an identity. The early 1990s team to beat.

"Cowboys by 12."
"A pox on his house."
