Miss those games, it was a different time for sure. No woke, the game was far more intense and less PI, no defenseless receiver and Summeral/Madden covered the great games. I loved how Madden used to always figure out a way to talk about Jumbo Elliott. Dexter Manley really screwed up his life... What a waste.

[@NoBullsh_t]

One of my great regrets of life: never seeing a game in-person at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium during the 1980's heyday of the Redskins. Of course, I was a kid, but those great teams of 1982-1991 were as much a part of my childhood as anything else. I lived for Sunday and watching the Skins on WDBJ-7 out of Roanoke, VA.

[@robjay2885]

Awesome game by the Giants. I vividly remember the build up to this game with first place and an apparent one seed on the line.

NFC East Games were the most important: From 86,87,90,91,92,93,95, the winner of the rivalries won the Superbowl. 12-4 wasn't good enough to win this division in 86! Cowboys, PHI, NYG, WAS, 4 teams that all hate eachother, The Eagles were the only non SB champ but they were always a tough game, and almost always ended up being one of the 2-3 losses on the 13-3 Division champ 1 seed.

I cant imagine the hate Redskins team and nation must have felt for NYG. 86 Redskins were 12-4; and had to take the Wildcard because Giants swept them at 14-2. Giants are responsible for 1/2 their losses. The Skins won 2 playoff games to make it to NFC Championship...AT The Giants. A 3pete of suffering. WORSE: 85 Their star QB career ended at Lawrence Taylor's hands.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

Its comparable to 2008 Ravens 3 sweep by the Steelers including AFC championship. The whole NFC East though was a brutal division of SB contending rivalries. Eagles v Redskins was a hatefest. Cowboys v anyone.

[@fritzstuber3012]

To the contrary Walter White. The injury to Theismann was a blessing in disguise, as his QB skills had declined markedly by 1985. It provided him with a graceful exit and prevented Gibbs with the tough decision of having to bench him later that year for Schroeder. Theismann's last good year was '84. Without his injury they probably never would have signed Doug Williams as a backup in '86, which led to the Schroder/Williams QB by committee in '87. Suffice it to say that without Theismann's MNF injury in '85, the Redskins would not have won the Super Bowl two years later.

[@mikeike1969]

Jay threw for over 4000 yds. The Redskins had a great defense running game and head coach. 1980s football was different than today. It was not qb driven like now and a solid running game and defense can take you far. Jay had an above average season by 1980s standards.

[@rjam1974]

He started for the NFC in the pro bowl if I'm not mistaken. Schroeder was a good quarterback. He was betrayed a few times by dropsies by our receivers in several games that 1986 season. If you remember the NFC title game there was a sure td the Clark dropped . Schroeder through it up so Clark could run under it and he just flat out dropped it. That td I think would have changed the momentum of the game. Going into that game they were coming off a stunner against the Bears and Jay was feeling good.
