I have been a lifelong Redskin fan through the good and the bad and I honestly don’t know if I will ever be over the Snyder years what he did to this organization was a goddamn shame! Besides that there was one Redskin player that every time I see him puts a smile on my face Even in his prime, he was underrated, but from what I know you never ever ever wanted to get hit by this man sometimes he was compared to Ronnie Lott and if it wasn’t for Ronnie Lott you would have probably heard more about. # 40 == Alvin. Fucking. Walton. Besides Sean Taylor, the Ron, Landry and Wilbur Marshall, the biggest and hardest hitter. The Redskins ever had look it up. !
I had no memory of Curt Gowdy still calling games in 1988. I looked it up: he came out of retirement to call some games with Merlin Olsen in September of 1988 because Dick Enberg (Olsen's normal broadcast partner) was covering the Olympics for NBC in Seoul.
‘88 Sigh. That was my first full season as a Redskins fan and I remember there were such high hopes for a repeat. It was a frustrating campaign on numerous levels. I suppose Doug Williams earned the right to be the franchise quarterback, but he was erratic all season, and the defense was porous and often susceptible to long gainers. The most positive way fans can reflect is as the beginning of the build up to the ‘91 juggernaut. I’ll never forget how depressed I was when they lost to Cincinnati in the final week. Something about finishing below .500 turned my 7 year old brain despondent.
~~ I started with them from the 1969 season - at 6 years old - my dad took me to the newly re-named "RFK Stadium" - ( it been DC Stadium just a year before ) - and at that young age I did not get the historic nature of seeing Vince Lombardi coach the Redskins - same had been true months earlier when I saw the Senators play the Red Sox there - and Ted Williams was managing the Senators going against his old club - by the '72 season I understood better - think I cried when they lost Super Bowl 7 to Miami - but part of that was the fact that it was maybe the most boring SB game ever - so I was bored to tears ..
On a break from videoing but will look into this one sometime. A rainy day as I recall. I heard there might be a copyright ban on YT but it could be a Facebook option someday.
Noll should’ve went for it on 4th down instead of kicking a field goal to go up, 29-20. Young team, on the road versus the champs and need less than a yard. House money at that point of the game.
The impeccable voice of one Curt Gowdy calling the action. Back when the NFL was truly a spectator sport. Also, Hail to the Redskins!
@13:41 Mike Oliphant was dealt to Cleveland for Earnest Byner. One if the best trades in REDSKINS history.

A number of hall of famers in this game.

Haha. Yes it was (boring).
Whew Walter Bubby Brister era ! Highs and lows post Bradshaw and Malone...defense still amazing
A RARE Steeler visit to Washington D.C.
Delighted to find this much better recording of this game. Had to redo it!
They played in Washington during 1988 preseason too.
Dwight Stone was still a RB at this stage before they converted him to WR.
Ricky Sanders was so dangerous
Could you, if possible, upload Redskins at Patriots from 1990?
