1991-11-10 ESPN NFL Primetime

[@4aj14camracing9]

Great memories, nfl primetime was the only place you could see extended highlights of every game on Sunday. My fav show

[@chrisuncleahmad]

“How bad was the Falcons secondary? YOU MAKE THE CALL!”

[@gluserty]

That Falcons secondary (with or without Deion Sanders and a still-productive Tim McKyer) continuing on throughout the 1990's had some real problems and got toasted for more TD passes than any other team in the decade, but at least they were a ball-hawking outfit in their 1998 Super Bowl season. In the Jerry Glanville era, I think part of it was design with their all-blitz style; but later, it was simply poor coverage.

[@cbod14]

@@gluserty That was exactly it. They sent everyone and if you don’t get there it’s trouble. Washington was great at picking up blitzes.

[@gluserty]

@@cbod14 Oh no doubt, what a terrible offense/defense matchup for the Falcons, and a great one for Washington Team; that 1991 Washington line pass protected beautifully (Rypien could've taken a 47 step drop and probably would've still went untouched) versus any kind of defensive alignment, so I don't think what transpired could've happened any differently then it did. Oh, and the other thing: even with the Falcons blitzing, they weren't a particularly adept pass rushing outfit.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

@@cbod14 but it’s not like teams that didn’t blitz had success vs Washington

[@gluserty]

Not only did Troy Aikman & Warren Moon throw pretty passes, but they were inducted into the Hall of Fame the same year.

[@bradjames891]

They both have November birthdays. I believe Aikman's is Nov. 21 and Moon's Nov. 18

[@tristarea08]

Moon was well deserved. Aikman had no business being a First ballot Hall of Famer though

[@gluserty]

The Bucs & Colts winning, an Icky Shuffle rewind, the Superdome fire...1991 Week 11 had all kinds of Primetime action!

[@StFidjnr]

as the bucs and the colts heading towards *STUPOR BOWL II*

[@gluserty]

@@StFidjnr That game was Stupor-pendous; I do find it highly amusing that those teams actually won in the same week though, and played rather well in doing it. The teams had a connection to each other with the upcoming 1992 draft as well due to the previous Chris Chandler trade. They were simpatico, sort of having what it amounts to a relationship for this brief period (the gang who couldn't play straight).

[@CoreyT127]

Back when passing for 300 yards meant something.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

400 yard games back then were a big deal (Rypien and Moon both did so in this week)

[@chrisconsorte7893]

Old school!!

[@iceberggslim22]

The Washington Redskins were my childhood team. Brings back fond memories of being over my grandmother’s house every Sunday watching them play

[@juanparty]

and what about mondays nites?

[@jaylucien669]

The Cowboys were punt blocking machines back in those days.

[@Bart848]

27:40 Brett Favre’s nfl debut

[@joeboo8626]

You mean Brett Favor?!? :D

[@cbod14]

Yeah what became of that guy

[@96Eman21]

Brett Faver LOL! 😆😂

[@tuowl0564]

29 years ago today, 11/10/20! I vividly remember this weekend of games/this particular Primetime. This is basically when the 49ers (well the week after) and Eagles (week before) started their ultimately futile late season playoff pushes; both finished 10-6 after terrible starts. The Eagles comeback against Cleveland got a ton of hype here in PA behind McMahon's heroics. The 49ers loss to the Saints was ultimately the final blow to their playoff streak that reached back several years. It also served as basically a transition year between Young and Montana as Montana was dealing his horrible injuries and Young was banged up most of the season as well. This was also the day people started to consider the Redskins a historical great team. That demolition of Atlanta was epic. That's one of those college-like NFL blowouts that i'll never forget.

[@jacktanner2835]

Brett Favor, lol.

[@CoreyT127]

My pop always used to say Brett Favre is so dumb he doesnt even know how to pronounce his own name!

[@cbod14]

The Colts & Jets from 88-93 played some of the worst games you will ever see

[@gluserty]

Some real stinkers in there for sure: 6-3, 9-6, 10-6...and then the 1990 Jets getting swept by the Colts after having comfortable leads early on, while providing the 1991 Colts with their only win of the season (although I have to say that particular game did have some excitement to it).

[@ernestboykin3rd706]

U R right my man Lmmfao

[@davidcarterjr.9326]

best high light show ever!!! go LIONS !!!

[@StFidjnr]

1:17 this is the week 11 of NFL Primetime the nitecap version thereof

[@CoreyT127]

Ickey Woods had to dance on the sideline after a td. Now players celebrate like they just won the superbowl after every a routine tackle!

[@frankez1975]

That 1991 Redskins team was unstoppable…..should have been 16-0.

[@jaylucien669]

Nope should've been 14-2 with a sweep from Dallas. I'll give ya the season finale loss back.

[@CoreyT127]

I was suprised to learn Aikman only passed for 20 tds one season his entire career!

[@classicsports5057]

Most of that is because he usually only threw about 390 passes a season. Dallas only usually ran around 40-50 offensive plays a game. It was a different game back then .

[@tristarea08]

And almost threw as many INT's as TD's...

[@juanparty]

22:10 Tecmo Bowl🎉

[@scottconner3726]

29 Years Ago

[@CoreyT127]

I believe this is the only time ever the Niners got swept by both the Falcons and Saints in the same season?

[@cbod14]

If the 49ers win that game they win The DIvision. NFL Playoffs might have been different

[@coachNewman17]

Bret FAVer lol come on Tom

[@smill1985]

LOL! Can't believe I just heard that from him. 😄

[@redpillfreedom6692]

The 1991 Colts=worst team ever aside from the teams that went winless.

[@StFidjnr]

27:52 sign sums it up

[@StFidjnr]

13:48 the NFL circle of doom is complete

[@Skinnerposse]

25:07 is what we came here for. 😉
