So the Redskins just did the list on redskins.com of the top plays of the 2005 season.
Obviously the top play was the Brunell to Moss pass #2 at Dallas, but really the top 4-5 plays could have been the top four or five plays of the past 15 years and maybe even more.
My question is where does the Brunell to Moss play rank in the Redskins all time top plays and what would you put in front of it, and were any of the other top plays from redskins.com worthy or being discussed as some of the top plays in Redskins history?
My personal favorite is Darrell Green chasing down Dorsett.
Close second is the punt return for TD against chicago in the 88 playoffs.
The Brunell to moss play has to be up there. Monday night against the Cowboys on the night they put the "Big 3" in the ring of honor. Nothing is better than that!

I think the Darryl Grant TD vs. Dallas in January, 1983 is my #1. 70 Chip a week later vs. Miami is #2. I think Brunell to Moss is definitely top 10 all time.
One play I thought should have been in this year's top ten but wasn't was Lamar Marshall's int. vs. Philly--a great athletic play by him that was absolutely critical to us winning that game and thus making the playoffs.

I'd really have to give it some thought, but Brunell to Moss I and II are definitely up there when you talk about the most memorable plays in team history. In fact that win over Dallas to me was one of the most memorable wins I've ever witnessed. Truly one for the ages.

For sure they are in the top 10 of the last 10 years or so. But I think they don't carry as much weight because the game was not not terribly meaningful like it wasn't a playoff game or a game to clinch a playoff spot. But they def. are high on the list

Given the painful history between us and them, the score at the time of the first Redskins TD, the incredible feeling when the second Redskins TD was scored and the brutal hits from the Redskins D to preserve the win I'd have to say it's the greatest victory (including SB's) I've ever seen.
I love watching the video highlights of the last 3:55 of that game. Beautiful.

I would say that if you factor in the improbability of the play, those TD passes may collectively be the greatest plays in team history. Although with all the history of the franchise, we should wait some time before dubbing Brunell to Moss as the greatest play in franchise history.
70 Chip is the most easily identifible play with the Redskins, and is no. 1 in my book, at least for right now.
