Product Description
Head Coach Joe Gibbs led Washington Redskins to three Super Bowls wins in 11 years and he did it with three different quarterbacks. A players' strike shortened the NFL season to 9 games in 1982 leaving teams scrambling to reach the playoffs. Most clubs were rusty after the layoff, but Gibbs kept Redskins focused. In Super Bowl XVII, it was Joe Theismann who led Washington to victory over the Miami Dolphins. In 1987, Gibbs told Doug Williams that he was being traded to the Raiders but reconsidered just hours later. In Super Bowl XXII Doug Williams' made Gibbs' decision a brilliant one as his passing produced an amazing 35 points in the second quarter alone and he was named the games MVP. Five years later, Gibbs took note of Mark Rypien's ability to throw an accurate, deep pass which, combined with the speed of wide receivers Art Monk, Ricky Sanders and Gary Clark, helped lead the Redskins to victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI. The story of the 1982 Redskins is told by Theismann, Guard Russ Grimm and Tight End Rick Walker. Williams, Center Jeff Bostic and Cornerback Darrell Green recount the 1987 Redskins' season. And Hall of Fame Coach, Joe Gibbs, Rypien and Defensive End Charles Mann retell the tale of the 1991 Redskins.

The "missing rings" versions the NFL Network is starting to release give me hope that someday we will get more content like this on years when the 'Skins didn't go all the way.
1972- Went to Super Bowl VII
1983- Went to Super Bowl XVIII, dominant and very entertaining all year long
1984- ravaged by injuries, the 'Skins win 6 of their last 7 games, including 4th quarter comebacks over the Cowboys and Cardinals in weeks 15 & 16 to win the division. Art Monk sets the record for catches in a season.
1986- The 'Skins go 12-4, but they can't beat the Giants. Schroeder's one full season as starter, and he looks great at times. Several fun games.
1990- A late season surge inspired by Art Monk puts the 'Skins into the playoffs and leads to their dominant '91 Super Bowl championship team.
1999- Shoot-outs galore, as the Norv Turner-led 'Skins win the division and beat the Lions in the playoffs before losing to the Bucs by 1 point.
2005- Gibbs era II's best season, as they win their last 5 games to take a playoff spot and then beat the Bucs in Tampa.
2007- The end of Gibbs II. The tragic death of Sean Taylor inspires the 'Skins to victories in their final 4 games and a playoff berth.
 Shame on Warner Bros. and the NFL October 16, 2007

These discs are so heavily copy-protected that they wouldn't play in my DVD player, making these the first perfectly undamaged DVDs that refused to do so. The back of the box carries a disclaimer warning that the discs will only play in "licensed DVD players," whatever that means. Once I borrowed my roommate's computer to watch them, I was impressed by the quality of the documentaries and the great bonus footage. Too bad the manufacturer wants so badly to "protect" me from even playing my purchase on my own system. Extremely unsatisfying, buyer beware.
