Absolutely. His exclusion is a black eye on the HOF. Larry Brown, Gary Clark, Don Warren (best blocking tight end in league history hands down) and Dave Butz as well. Butz and Warren seem like outlandish choices to some and will never get even a marginal glance from that committee but they were HUGE pieces of the success those great teams enjoyed and as dominant in their own quiet way as any players of that time.
@@danieljohnson1564 thanks so much I appreciate the love my uncle Danny Copeland gave me a great experience at a young age I also went to Super Bowl too watch them destroy Bill's.
Your uncle gave me, and so many other fans, so many memories over the years. Most notably his fumble recovery for a TD against Dallas in 92. Hard hitter, tough-as-nails, I hope he is continuing to do well.

This year was pretty much it for the Washington Redskins. They haven't been in a Conference Championship game since 91 and haven't even won a playoff game in almost 20 years.
@@josephtabit2347They should have been in the 1999-2000 NFC Championship game. They choked away a win against Tampa Bay in the Divisional round that year but the point still stands. I don't know how this franchise fell so far from greatness. As terrible of an owner as Dan Snyder was, he spent the money to bring in really good players. They drafted alltime great players like Sean Taylor and Champ Bailey, brought in great free agents but only had rare playoff appearances over the last 30 years. I don't think you could be much worse if you tried to. Last playoff win was 2005-2006 with Joe Gibbs back coaching when they beat Tampa Bay in a wild card game. They gave the eventual NFC Champion Seahawks a hard fight the next week but came up short. Those were the best two teams they've had since Joe Gibbs retired the first time. They made the playoffs a few other times but didn't get a win. They haven't been in back to back playoff appearances since the 1991-1992 and 1992- 1993 seasons.
This was the best Redskin team that they ever had. The 1991 Redskins just rolled over anyone in the first few home games shutting out the Lions, Cardinals, and then Eagles here at home. It got so bad that Kotite got Pat Ryan out of retirement just so he could play that season. The Redskins played their best and that would really be the last of the Redskins being that good. Yes, the next season they went 9-7 and won a wildcard, but after that they would not make the playoffs until 1999.
the first crack in the redskins foundation was when Bobby Beatheard left the team in 1988. He was responsible for building that era. Gibbs coached it, but Beathard built it. Casserly took over the draft in 1990 and they had bad draft after bad draft. 1992, following this title, they had the 6th pick in the draft, traded up and took Desmond Howard - a disaster pick. 2 years later another disaster in 1994 with Heath Shuler. Beatherd leaving, Desmond Howard and Heath Shuler is what led them downhill
@@SillyGoose2024 lot of the reason Gibbs was not as successful his second go around. Management of the team matters. Redskins have not been anywhere near this good since.
The 1991 Redskins are the best football team I ever saw. They had no weaknesses and no egos. Just a perfect storm of young and old talent, harnessed by arguably the greatest coach of all time in Joe Gibbs. They could beat you any number of ways. Don’t get me wrong, the 89 Niners, 78 Steelers, 85 Bears and 73 dolphins belong in that conversation too. But I think if any of those teams play the 91 Redskins seven times the Redskins win 4.
@@christianorr1059 Inexcusable? I mean that Cowboys team went on to win the Super Bowl the very next year and the year after that. I wouldn’t call that inexcusable. As much as I hate the Cowboys that was a pretty good football team.
Jacoby not being in the HOF is ridiculous. Monk was the all time leading reciever when he retired and didn't get inducted until years later. Both should have been 1st ballot hall of famers. Brian Mitchell has the 3rd most all purpose yards in league history and should be in and Gary Clark is overdue as well. The HOF has lost all credibility in my eyes. Political NFL BS!
What do you mean? We won SBXxvi that season. 14-2. Stomped Glanville, deion, and mc hammer's falcons in the playoffs. Destroyed the Lions with Barry sanders in the NFL championship, then throttled the Bills in Minneapolis.
Such a wonderful time to be a Washington fan... Gibbs, RFK, The Hogs... I grew up on the Allen teams, which were fantastic too, but this really was the best of times. Hopeful that with new ownership better times are ahead. (and a new stadium!)
It just amazing how fast it all fell apart the Super Bowl. Starting with the very first game of the next season. I my opinion one of the reasons this team isn't remember as one of the greatest of all time , is that it ended so quickly. And than the Cowboys won the next 2 Super Bowls in a row. Putting the 91 team out of people memories.
Even before Snyder took over in '99, this team was coming apart. Gibbs got burnt out and retired before the '93 season, they couldn't adjust to the new realities of the NFL's free agency market, Cooke died before the shitty new Stadium opened in Landover and left a will that put the franchise up for grabs. And *then* Snyder buys it and, well...here we are.
@58twright, you're completely lost dude because nobody is taking Rypien over Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw or especially Tom Brady. They were a great team that one year, but definitely not all time.
The Eagles defense that year was so damn good. If only Cunnigham hadn't got hurt, God that was a gut wrencher. Still you can't help but think Kotite would have found a way to screw it up anyway.
@@Paul-os1fr and that's why the Eagles were never a super bowl caliber team. Not even close. Terrible offensive line , subpar wide receivers and terrible coaching. The only reason why the Eagles had some success in the clueless kotex era because of great defensive coordinator Bud Carson and that great front seven.

Yes, a good head coach for starters. Other reasons include the loss and subsequent retirement of Mike Quick, the failure to build an effective offensive line and cheap ownership.
How great could this Eagles team have been if they had not lost QB Randall Cunningham to injury at start of the season? They won 10 games that season without him, but it was their awesome defense that carried them over the course of the season.
He had been an analyst on TV for about 30 years before retiring. He retired because he had mobility issues. There were some games he covered for CBS in his later career that he could barely walk out of the booth.

I laugh at Eagles fans when they feel they would have beaten Redskins if Cunningham wasn't out for the year. They might have scored a TD; but no way they were beating the Redskins. Even IF they made the playoffs, they would have been one and done. They wouldn't have met the Redskins early on. Their great D wasn't enough to win; not with their special teams which was as bad as the offense.
Boy, smh, Eagles mighta been better with Byars at quarterback. Even tho Marshall probably woulda made a point to knock his ass out the game, they was always going at it...
who would've thought then that the Eagles would become the better organization? Nowadays Philly is one of the winningest teams in the NFL SINCE this game and washington is the worst franchise in that division and they're called something else, with different uniforms. they are like a expansion team with no hope. But Philly is a playoff team 75% of the time
Love the Birds but they are mediocre. Winning means nothing if you dont bring home the chip. This franchise should have three lombardi trophies minimum.
I will say as much as I wanted to say this team was one of the greatest of all time You can look to this game despite the fact it was a shutout why other greats could beat them. You got '91 Rypien on the deep ball to monk that got called back but he was crazy inaccurate and more like '92 Rypien in this game. I mean he had what 4 turnovers by himself in this game. And he missed Clark many times when he was wide open. And let's not forget he was the least sacked qb that season and he still was at 59% for that year.

That 74 Yard pass play from Rypien to Clark in the first Qtr. was a thing of Beauty.
That was a 50 yard pass. As a fan of Brock Purdy I have learned that the only thing that counts is air yardage. Any yards after the catch is cheating.
That’s why I used the term pass play.If I was referring to just the pass itself I would have specified that. @@feloniousfloyd2203
