Eagles showed a lot of heart here a week after one of the more embarrassing losses in franchise history. You would think our awful run defense going up against Riggins and the Hogs would've gotten ugly fast, and he got his, but the offense showed up and kept us in it for a while. Good upload, JJ.
You’re right Jack, the Redskins haven’t played a bad game in two years, but they’re saving up for the last game of the year to roll it out. Oh, it’ll be a whooper. I should know, I ended up just shooting hoops for some of the second half. P.S. I met you Jack one time after a Cardinal game at Busch. We had a sign for Lou Brock and I had a plastic horn, and when I blew it, you said “you’re that guy making that sound. I heard you on the other side of the stadium.”
Boy, Staubach retired about 3 years too early...Danny White was solid, but could never get the Boys over the top and the early 80's Cowboys were damn good, just didn't have THAT special QB to lead them. I've been a diehard Cowboy fan since I was six years old and watched the Boys destroy the Dolphin team in the Super Bowl, the same Dolphin team that would go undefeated the next season. However, watching the Skins and Eagles reminds you of just how talented the NFC East was during the 70's, 80's and especially the early 90's when the Super Bowl winner was always the winner of the NFC East. Yep, the Skins were loaded, man I despised these guys back then, but as you age you learn to respect the greats and this Washington squad was great as they have everything you needed. Riggins was a beast, had a solid QB in Joe, solid receivers, great O-line and the defensive front four was scary and of course, with Green, Murphy and company the secondary was very good. Props to the NFC East...think we are the best division in the league right now as well lol.
13:33 Monk makes a great play for the TD, but Eagles fans could claim illegal motion as monk was moving slightly forward at the snap of the ball. Refs let that slide most of the time and did here. I am a Redskins fan so no complaints by me.
Gibbs was the best coach - won 3 SB's with 3 different QB's - and none of them were superstars - Belichick & Walsh might have won zero without Brady & Montana - all hail Gibbs ..
I am a life long redskins fan do you or can you get the 1st game of the 83 season cowboys vs redskins we lost but a classic match up see if you or anyone out there could get that game.
I'm sure the Skins felt fortunate to get out with a win. Ron Jaworski played a hell of a game. I will echo what another commenter said: the Skins' secondary really wasn't that good in 1983, despite the fact that they were opportunistic at times and got a lot of turnovers. Darrell Green was good but the combination of Vernon Dean and Anthony Washington on the other side was somewhere between mediocre and just plain bad. They were exposed in this game as they were in the Green Bay game when Lynn Dickey lit them up for 48 points and 400 yards of passing. The Raiders knew this going into the super bowl and exploited it. Anyway, going back to this game, the decision to go for a field goal with 3 minutes left in the game and down by 4 points while in the red zone is absolutely STUPID call by the Eagles' head coach. The announcers should have been screaming WTF, but as usual, they just sat there dumbly and said nothing. Jaworski was throwing the ball well, the receivers were getting open, they were in the red zone, they needed a touchdown. It's not even a difficult call. You go for the first down (or a touchdown). When you see shit like that and the announcers are silent, there's some fishy stuff going on.
Raiders were better up front, they stuffed Riggins, Theismann had constant pressure on him, plus Monk and Brown couldn't get open. 4th qtr of the NFC Championship against SF carried over into the SB for the Redskins. They were outscored 59-12 in those 5 quarters. It started a downhill trend for Theismann which ended 2 seasons later with the LT hit.
@@KevinT7274 I agree with everything you said except for the last sentence. Theismann's downhill trend started on opening day in 1985 with that disastrous game against the Cowboys. Yes, he played horribly in the Raiders' super bowl, but he played some outstanding football in 1984. The last few games of the 84 season against the Cowboys, Cardinals, and finally the Bears in the playoffs were some of the best football of Theismann's career. Toughness, accuracy, leadership, everything. Gibbs himself said that Theismann played just as well, if not better, in 1984 than he did in 1983 when he won NFL MVP, considering all the injuries on the offensive line.
@@KevinT7274 I rewatched the game.. It's false that the Raiders' heralded corners shut down Monk and Brown. They got open but Thesimann wasn't hitting them. The 20 MPH gusts could've had something to do with it - Plunkett didn't have an outstanding day either.. turnovers, a blocked punt and Marcus Allen having a career day generated almost all of LA's offense.

When football was football. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely 💯 agree!!🏈🏈unlike today's game.
I predict that the NFL is gonna be flag football by 2035
Mike Quick....UNDERRATED. man was dangerous
Love Buck & Stram.
Fell asleep quite often listening to them call Monday Night Football on the radio when I was growing up
Me too!
@@outtaherephils The great Jack Buck also is a Hall of Fame baseball voice
Man the skins were loaded, Riggins, Theismann, Didier, Darrell Grn, Dave Butz (RIP).
Oh thank you so much for this. Didn't get to see it in 83 but I get to now!
28:39 before we even knew who he was. Charles Mann made the most of his limited play time as a Rookie
@@johnliberty3647Definitely a top 25 all time Redskin
The enthusiasm in sports was second to none in the those days

Those Eagles uniforms are awesome
You lost no quality in going from DVD to youtube...amazing, I still don't know how you do it...really....good job! One click and you got it :)
Remember when you could watch NFL broadcast and there weren’t a ton of graphics on the screen?
Be nice if the score was displayed occasionally
You’re right Jack, the Redskins haven’t played a bad game in two years, but they’re saving up for the last game of the year to roll it out.

Glory days! HTTR
Love that Fun Bunch.
Great broadcast, used to love to listen to Buck and Stram.
Dennis Harrison vs Joe Jacoby. RE vs LT. Great match up. Normal sized guys today but they were giants of their time.
Love the 80s hair on the Redskinetts😊
Jack Buck was an awesome play-by-play announcer. He would be the best if he was working today.
Definitely better than happy s kid, Joe.

1:05:23 excellent play
Loved that designed roll out with lineman pulling and Charlie Brown was all legs. Very high waisted.
The Eagles were a 15 point underdog and nearly won at RFK
Yeah closer than I thought
Recall this game well --- redskins pass defense was their GLARING N weakness in what many consider their all time best team
13:33 Monk makes a great play for the TD, but Eagles fans could claim illegal motion as monk was moving slightly forward at the snap of the ball. Refs let that slide most of the time and did here. I am a Redskins fan so no complaints by me.
Redskins greatest run 82-91. 3 titles in 10 yrs.
The 49ers had 4 in 9. Hold my beer, son. 😂
Brady and the Pats had 3 titles in 2 diff decades. Run to the store get me some beer boy.
Gibbs was the best coach - won 3 SB's with 3 different QB's - and none of them were superstars - Belichick & Walsh might have won zero without Brady & Montana - all hail Gibbs ..
I am a life long redskins fan do you or can you get the 1st game of the 83 season cowboys vs redskins we lost but a classic match up see if you or anyone out there could get that game.
Every time someone posts it it’s taken down almost immediately. There’s some clips out there but the whole game is almost impossible to keep up.
@@joerules829 the NFL keeping a tight eye on classic MNF games apparently
The game where Darrell Green ran down Dorsett.
I'm a Washington fan but that was terrible clock manangement at the end of the game by the Eagles.
13:35 Art Monk and that Fun Bunch..
1:03:20 Ken Coffey..
25:38 Darryl Grant and Dave Butz.
Anyone else notice that it said NF Central Standings? 😂
I literally died watching this because one of the teams had a hurty name
back when both teams had great uniforms. they are both a disgrace nowadays
Already an error at the top - “Central Division Standings” was wrong.
18:50 Liebenstein...
29:10 Mann..
Funny how the standing have reversed in 2022.
V.Dean had a mucked up game...
1:12:00 Coleman

@@benmoore6612Yeah on s rewatch the game isn't as lopsided as the score makes it seem.
Who were these no name backs n recievers for the eagles ?
🏈🏟👍🤜👊🤛💪
Howard Cosell had the worst hairpiece in broadcast history. Next to Hank Stram.
I was a Redskin fan until they change their name no more they should change there name back to the Redskins and go back to RFK stadium
BEST TEAM, MISS FUN BUNCH..... FOOTBALL TODAY SUCKS
