I was 14 years old and I remember every Monday when we were on our way to school this guy named Donnie would always come on the but saying whatever and 0 and all the Redskins fans would sing it back to him. That was such a fun year. I love how people always talk about how much we were a running team but if they did their research they'd know that Joe loved big plays. I mean that year was sick. My son who is now 2 looked at the screen on one of the bombs to Clark and when he caught it starting yelling "Oooooo you see that daddy, Football" Then I said who's our team B ? "Gegskins !!!!!!" I almost cried. Time is getting short folks !

That team was just so complete, they could beat you in so many ways.

I'm feeling old. '91 was my first year in college. Definitely a very memorable year for a lot of reasons.

Yep same here I was 13. I loved that team, watcing last night brought back the memories of watching the games with a group of people my mom used to have over for all the games. It was so incredible. Loved every minute of it. I miss those childhood teams, I think if we win one again I would shed a tear. Awesome being on top as a fan.

I am feeling really old....83 Sb was my senior year in High School. 87 Sb was my senior year in college. 92 was icing on the cake. Man it was a great time to be a Redskins fan.
What really made it cool was those teams won with class and humility. Something that is lost with today's players.
On yesterdays NFL network show, it felt like most of the credit was given to Rypien, WR's and passing game. It was clear to all of the Redskins fans back then that the Hogs and the running game were the true back bone of the team. But I understand for TV ratings and today's fans that only care about the passing game, long completions and scoring , you have to sell that for ratings. We used to say in 92 that while steppng back to pass, Rypien could eat ham sandwich and not get touched. That line was out of this world.

Hard to believe we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of that team. Wow where does the time go? As fans we really got spoiled back then. 4 SB appearances in 10 years, 3 wins, a team that was regularly in the hunt year in and year out. Good times.

9 here... but then again most people don't know anything but who their team is at that age

I was already playing.. RG, RT, TE, NT in a 3 or 5 front, DT, DE, LB, S, and FB at that age so I understood the basics of a lot of positions and could appreciate a lot of the different players.. my faves early on being Jacoby and Grimm.. btw it's burgUndyYeah, I was 10 and unfortunately I wasn't into football nearly as much as I am now so I didn't really appreciate it; again, I was 10 years old.
But, I did go to Art Monk's football camp at Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) the summers before and after this season so I got to meet a bunch of these guys and that will stick with me forever. Actually I've mentioned it here before but my UserID comes from a warm up drill we had to do at the start of every practice session.
