I understand people wishing Sonny had played in that game, but he was on the sidelines in crutches. I believe that if Sonny hadn't gotten hurt in the Giants game in NY earlier in the season, the Redskins would NOT have made the Super Bowl. Billy Kilmer was the right quarterback for George Allen's offensive "philosophy." He had no ego, and was willing to hand the ball of the Larry Brown, throw deep occassionaly to Taylor and Jefferson to keep the defense honest. Sonny wanted to do his own thing. He wanted the glory. That's why he butted heads with Allen. Kilmer played great all season and especially in the NFC championship game against the Cowboys. Yes, he threw 3 interceptions in the Super Bowl, but the Dolphins had a great defense. I'm one of the few who believe Sonny would have been rusty and immobile to Miami's rush. Billy Kilmer led the Redskins to that Super Bowl and earned the right to play . . . blame Kilmer if you want, but he wasn't on defense allowing Csonka to rush for over 100 yards and a 7.5 average . . . the Redskins inability to stop the Miami ground-game, I'm afraid, was the game.
