Broncos vs Redskins Superbowl XXII replay official game thread

Over 300 yards total offense in on quarter! I hope some of you younger guys are getting to watch this game. I don't really see any difference between the speed of that game and today's NFL.

Just finished watching. It makes me kind of sad to see how we have fallen. The whole time I'm watching I'm thinking how bad we need a GM. Bethered sure messed up on some 1st and 2nd rounders but boy did he get some great players in the late rounds.

man I wish I had tivo cuz I missed it cuz we had to do a damn midnight opening @ work. it's on now but I think I can only make it through the second quarter since I've gotta be up @ 8ish.

I WILL BEGIN TRYING TO TORRENT THIS! HEY WAIT A SEC THAT DIDNT EXIST IN 88!? lol

what a superbowl...and what an NFC championship leading up to it.

I remember watching the game and the 2nd quarter but I forgot how bad the game started off. I bet there where alot of people righting us off and thinking that it was time that El and the Broncos win the SB. Then bam its the 2nd quarter and come half time the game was all but over. You start to see signs late in the first quarter that the Skins were getting the game under control but it just went crazy from there. Question, I did not realise that they reviewed plays back then. Did they stop at some point reviewing plays then started it back at another time?

I also remember a review in the 91SB. I think it was on an Art Monk TD. I am not sure when or why they stopped and started again.

They had replay in 86-87 and 91-92, and of course the current challenge system which they've been doing since 1999. In between I don't think they had replay, but I'm not positive and I can't find any clear history of replay.

It was nice having defensive ends!

I was thinking about the defensive ends last night! I'll tell ya, I'm not sure if Petitbone's system would've worked well without Manley and Mann in there. And you know, the linebackers really had to cover receivers quite a bit. In that game, I don't believe the Redskins ever sent in a nickel or dime formation..it was always a 4-3 defense with the cornerbacks playing man coverage. It really put alot on the Redskins secondary to make big plays for them. Watching that game last night seems like it was played just yesterday (no, not replayed mind you!) It also makes me long to wish we had the ability to go back in time!

One thing to note..I don't know if anybody caught this or not, but noticed when Jack Kent Cooke was asked about the Redskins being successful for years to come, he said something to the affect "as long as I am alive, the Redskins will be successful!" Wow, that couldn't have been any truer! I do wished that the Cooke family could've somehow kept the Redskins under their ownership!
