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...

not exactly sure, but he was the WR coach of the 1999 Rams team. I think they ranked 2nd all time on this list

Doesn't make too much sense to me either. First I think you said why not the last 75 years? Then you said the last 10 years?

What's wrong with 25?

If you are going to do a best of ,then do it from the begining.Just don't pick when you want .Pick the top 10 of all time from 1927,Jim Brown will show up in there some where.

Again why 25 ?

I don't know. Maybe it's just not as big a deal to me. 25 years, 35 years, 50 years. Whatever. It's just an arbitrary list subject to opinion

Maybe if it was a list of the top rushers then Jim Brown would show up, but really who else was on the browns offense other than Jim Brown? If you look at the article it was listed as the top offense not top offensive player...

even if it was all inclusive it would still be opinion. It's not a statistical list. Not like they're saying "Team A is number one because they score 600 points, Team B is number two because they scored 500 points, Team C 400" and so on

You make no sense at all, if you look at all the teams on the list, each team had atleast more than just one offensive weapon. The Browns just had Jim Brown. And that we do know, who else was on the Browns offense when Jim Brown carried the team, er the ball for the Browns? It is not like the future which we will never know how good Reggie Bush is or the great throwing arm of Vince Young those are unknown...
