Let's be 100% clear about what this is: the 3 Super Bowl games in this set are simply the TV broadcasts of the games, as they were presented at the times (1983, 1988, 1992). No window dressing, no sugar-coating, no bells, and no whistles. While it would've been (very) nice to have included SOME highlights (or even brief mentions) of the playoff games to led up to each Super Bowl game, and definitely better to have the RADIO audio (Sonny, Sam, & Frank) versus the TV commentators, it's still a triumph to FINALLY have a copy of the Super Bowl games themselves, esp. for myself, not having a VCR back in 1983.
I hope (against hope) NFL Films will see fit to go back and retrieve the radio commentary for these games (NFLF does include snippets of radio play-by-play in every other Redskins' DVD highlight set they sell). This set is for WS fans, and I'd much rather hear the voices of my "homer" radio announcers than "objective" TV heads. Makes me ever thankful I did manage to record (VHS) the 1992 Super Bowl with both the television AND radio commentary! |

It will be great to have these Super Bowl victories on DVD, but any 'Skins fan worth their salt knows that their greatest games didn't necessarily happen in the Super Bowl. Here are some suggestions for future games to release in this format:
*1972 NFC Championship v. Dallas
*1982 wk 1 v. Philadelphia
*1982 wk 7 v. NY Giants
*1982 NFC Championship v. Dallas
*1983 wk 5 v. Raiders
*1983 wk 15 v. Dallas
*1983 NFC Playoffs v. Rams
*1984 wk 15 v. Dallas
*1984 wk 16 v. Cardinals
*1985 wk 11 v. NY Giants
*1985 wk 15 v. Bengals
*1986 wk 3 v. Chargers
*1986 wk 9 v. Vikings
*1986 NFC Playoffs v. Bears
*1987 wk 11 v. NY Giants
*1987 NFC Playoffs v. Bears
*1990 wk 9 v. Lions
*1991 wk 11 v. Falcons
*1991 NFC Championship v. Lions
*2007 wk 17 v. Dallas
okay, so there are 20 games here, but I'm sure there's probably a market for 2 10-game sets. lol |

| Actually there were three playoff games the redskins played before facing Miami in the Super Bowl because of the players strike in 1982. They beat Detroit 31-7,Minnesota 21-7 and Dallas 31-17 in the NFC Title Game, and then followed by beating Miami 27-17 in the Super Bowl. Hopefully,this set will contain all of these games... |

This set will include the 3 Super Bowls won by the Washington Redskins and NOT the 1982 playoff games implied by the listing. The games included are:
*Super Bowl XVII - the Redskins defeated the Miami Dolphins, 27-17, for their first NFL title since 1942.
*Super Bowl XXII - by scoring 42 unanswered points, the Redskins defeated the Denver Broncos, 42-10, for their second Super Bowl victory.
*Super Bowl XXVI - Washington won its final Super Bowl title under Coach Joe Gibbs by defeating the Buffalo Bills, 37-24. |
