83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
Actually CNN ranks 83 redskins offense fourth best in the last 25 years, NOT best of all time.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...content.7.html "Joe Gibbs had already won a Super Bowl, but it was in '83 when he established himself as an offensive genius. The Skins scored 541 points, the second-highest total ever, and finished 14-2. Washington had an unstoppable power game with John Riggins and Joe Washington running behind one of the greatest offensive lines of all time. And the Redskins were dangerous in the air, with QB Joe Theismann throwing to Charlie Brown and Art Monk." |

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
Where is the '91 team? I would have taken the '91 team over the '83 team.

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
No 91 team is a complete joke!

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
I loved that 1991 team. In 2 games that season against NFC divisional playoff opponent Atlanta the Redskins outscored the Falcons 80-24.
In 2 games that season against NFC championship opponent Detroit the redskins outscored the Lions 86-10. In 3 playoff games they scored 102 points. The O-line allowed 9 sacks all season long. Three playoff blowouts! Buffalo scored two late touchdowns to make that Super Bowl score somewhat respectable. Some of those teams in the top ten did not dominate the playoff competition anything like that 1991 Redskin team did. That offense was a Steamroller! IMO |

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
The '83 team scored a NFL record 541 points, a record that stood until 1998. If that team had won it all I think we're talking about one of the all-time great teams.
The '91 team scored 485 points in comparison. |

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
The '91 team kicked major ace but I'm guessing the writers are trying to please as many different team's fans as possible.

I think you can argue that the '91 team overall was better because they won the whole thing, but that '83 offense was ridiculous.

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
Joe Gibbs has said that the '83 team was the best he's ever had.

Re: 83 Skins Rank #4 All Time
[quote=Defensewins]Actually CNN ranks 83 redskins offense fourth best in the last 25 years, NOT best of all time.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...content.7.html quote] Here's a little trivia for you. The number 6 team on this list is the 1981 San Diego Chargers coached by Don Coryell. Joe Gibbs helped build that team as O-coordinator up to the 1980 season. He was hired by the Redskins for the '81 season. For more on Gibbs' career, look here. |
