Rainy Parade 05-06-2010, 02:59 PM among the 15 oldest are 9 playoff teams, both superbowl participants and all 4 conference championship participants. among the 6 that didn't make the playoffs, 2 of them were 9-7 and one was 8-8. Defensewins 05-06-2010, 03:07 PM To say 'Return' is incorrect, because a year or two ago we were THE oldest team in the NFL. Monkeydad 05-06-2010, 03:10 PM To say 'Return' is incorrect, because a year or two ago we were THE oldest team in the NFL. Big difference, this would be a return to WINNING with vets. We have a lot of older players with a chip on their shoulder and a lot to prove. I'm expecting great things from this group. It's so ironic that another Allen is in charge. We had an old team in 2000-ish, but that was nothing like the "Over The Hill Gang". 53Fan 05-06-2010, 03:21 PM Nothing wrong with experience as long as they're healthy.

Longtimefan 05-06-2010, 03:36 PM I had a lot of fun with the "Over The Hill Gang". It was that group that brought a winning brand of football back to Washington that had been missing for a long, long time. They were the rallying force that revolutionized fan interest, enabling us to once again take great interest in the Redskins........httr The average age of those teams were off the charts. You'd be hard pressed to find a player on those teams under thirty.
