The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Great Video but man we need to stop living in the past, this is the team and hand we are dealt with. Every team has this type of video. This team needs to set there own trends and not live off what was at one time, Gibbs will never be the Gibbs of old, he has aged and will be the new Gibbs when he rights this ship which he will do. Gibbs style has changed as well as his people, he will correct things but it will never be the same way it was in the 80's and early 90's, heck I don't even know if half the people that preach about Gibbs not being like he was were even born when he was the legend. Sorry but it just seems like every board I visit or post I read is look at this video or this is what it was like, I have all the videos and watched the Superbowls live and recorded them. I want to watch the new Redskins with Jason Campbell and watch the new Gibbs Era. I not hating but man stop living in the past. Lets Go Skins.

Thanks for posting that, it brought back so many memories. Monk was unbelievable and our defense was fearless.

BTW, I hope your name does not imply what you do while hunting in the woods...alone.

Doeslammer??? What are you talking about You must be on some acid trip or something! Your new Skins are not doing too much, and do not have a Super Bowl to boast of...so until that time comes...I'm re-living the old until it becomes new! And as of Joe Gibbs not being the same...little do you know, football is about X's and O's and Gibbs is the best at that!!!

Get a grip

By the way, GREAT VIDEOS!!!! I love 'em!

That was awesome, Love the good old days, Thanks for posting Jake

That was awesome. In 1990 I was 16 and my mom died and I have trouble even remembering the next two years - but one of my most vivid memories of that period was the Skins of 1991. Thanks for posting and bringing back some nice memories.

Love the old guys!! You know how to tell an old Redskins from a new one?

Count the Rings!

To enjoy the past is not to live in the past.

Why not enjoy the past when there is no present?

Well put.

It would be nice if some would stop living in the past and others would remember it when they're dumping abusive and ignorant language on those who made the past so special.

Dude, you obviouulsy missied the point of the video!!. It wasn't to relive the past or some fond memory of how the Skins used to play.... it is about how a team with heart, passion, commitment and attention to detail imposes their will on the opposition.

This could have been a video of any other team in the league. Jake's take is that our current squad could look at this video and hopefully draw some inspiration from it for the future.
HAIL!!

Exactly.

Live in the past? I would do it in a second!

Get me a time machine tuned up for 82 and 91.

You have to wonder if we will ever get to live those days again...
