I have been a skins fan since the mid 70's and the 1983 team is the best Redskins team I have ever seen. I have magazines from 1983 comparing the redskins to the 1970's Steelers leading up to Super Bowl XVIII. Had they not laid an egg that day in the super bowl we would be talking about one of the greatest teams in NFL History let alone Redskins history.

When You consider the 1983 teams greatness you also have to take into account that they played that year as defending champions which means that everyone was gunning for them. In spite of that they lost only 2 games by 1 point each and set a record for points scored that stood for 15 years. We saw how the pressure and complacency of a championship unraveled the other two Redskins title defenses. That was simply a great team...
