      A Springfield born dude like myself has seen Five Guys blossom all over the Phoenix area since 2001. I remember when they just had that little shop in downtown Springfield before I moved away for good. At 49 years old out here all these years, I'm high-fiving Mark (if I'm dared to get permission to do so).
      Fun fact: the first Redskins game I became aware of was the game that he beat the Giants in their Super Bowl winning season that my parents were at!

    Mark Moseley--"Lazarus"---back from dead a few times. In addition to the his 1986 broadcaster-to-player morph; he was out of football for nearly two seasons in his early twenties. After going perfect in week-one for the '72 Oilers, he was cut, could not find kicking-work and went back to east Texas to install septic-tanks until he the '74 Redskins put his foot back to work until 1986.

      Brings back yet another bitter reminder of Dan Snyder. That is, firing Marty Schottenheimer after rebounding very common from an 0-5 start to an 8-8 like finish. (just like Hall of famer Joe Gibbs did in his first year with the team.. thanks for hiring Steve Spurrier.. NOT! )
      "Marty ball" just so happened to vindicate itself in San Diego for a while subsequently. the guy just happened to have a winning culture around him all the time wherever he went. Unlike the person who infamously misused the phrase "winning culture" Bruce Allen after yet another mediocre season in Washington

    What's controversial about an offsides call when he was offsides. It's like complaining you got a speeding ticket for going 1 mile over the posted speed. It's like complaining that a a receiver came down, only his pinky landed in the white. A millimeter or five yards, offsides is offsides. The D-line can clearly see the ball and even continue to move after set. Lining up in the neutral zone should never happen on either side of the ball, ever!

    I will ALWAYS be a Redskins Fan. That said; I was a BIG Fan of Dan Fouts running that "Air Coryell" Offense. You weren't going to stop them from scoring a bunch of points. To beat them, you had to score even more than they did. Unfortunately, their Defense allowed that to happen on a regular basis!
    So my Redskins hired Joe Gibbs ... from the San Diego Chargers! He tried to bring that pass-happy Offense to the Redskins ... and proceeded to start 0-and-5. He then decided that his Roster was better suited to running the ball ... and that led to the birth of the Legend which we know as "The Hogs".
    Running the ball controlled the clock, and helped the Defense. And Gibbs' Redskins had a VERY GOOD Defense!
    So, while Fouts running the Air Coryell Offense scored a bunch of points and were fun to watch, Gibbs' run-first evolution of that Offense won a bunch of Super Bowls! And he didn't need a supremely talented QB like Dan Fouts to do it.
    Of course, when he DID have a supremely talented QB, Doug Williams & Company set a Super Bowl Record by scoring 35 points in ONE QUARTER (the 2nd) after trailing Denver 10-0 in Super Bowl XXII. But The Hogs were the key, and unknown RB Timmy Smith ran for 204 yards, which is STILL the Record for Rushing Yards in a Super Bowl. It was only fitting that The Hogs got that record back, as Marcus Allen had broken John Riggins' Super Bowl Rushing Record 4 years earlier ... in a thrashing of my beloved Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII.

      @danhester4408 2 роки тому +4

      It has just become really hard to award it to any other player because of just how impactful the QB position is these days. That's reflected among the more advanced analytics where QBs tend to dwarf every other position in metrics like WAR, and among coaches, GMs and scouts where the position is always considered priority #1. I agree that it's kind of a bummer though, because it really does mean that a lot of great non-QBs are just out of consideration almost by default. Like, it is hard for me to accept that a guy like Aaron Donald hasn't won the award and almost certainly never will. He is maybe the greatest football player of his generation if you take positional value out of the question!

    The Moseley MVP will always be a fascinating topic because it is so ahistorical when you look at the 100+ years of the NFL. Whether it was the right choice or not (and I'm on the "not side"), I still think Moseley and the '82 MVP award should be celebrated because of how unique it is. Justin Tucker has sort of become regarded as the GOAT at the position, and I wonder if he has even received an MVP vote? He's certainly never been a serious candidate.

    I know Moseley was having a great season, but Fouts played the more important position, and was having arguably the best QB season ever up to that point. He should have been the clear-cut winner for the MVP award. At least the Pro Football Weekly publication awarded Fouts the MVP honor, and rightfully so. AP Voters were on acid in 1982. Even if you didn't want to go Fouts, you go Marcus Allen or Wes Chandler. A kicker can have some nice hallmark moments, but due to the nature of the position, they just don't play enough snaps or impact offenses as much as a QB does.

    If a kicker were ever to compete for another MVP award it would be Justin Tucker. Let's say he has a perfect season, making all of his kicks (with him, that's quite possible), hits about 7 or 8 game winning field goals, and 2-3 of those game winners are from 60+ yards. (We know he has a range out to 66 yards.) And let's say that no one else from any team's offense or defense did anything to stand out. Under those circumstances, I could see people pushing for Tucker to win MVP.

I did not remember this game among their best rivalry games first versus the Browns in the early to mid 1960s and then the Cowboys and Redskins. I found interesting the depiction of the poor playing surface of the stadium for football. It was a shame the separate St. Louis City and Couny governments fought over the location of a new football stadium resulting in no stadium so owner Bill Bidwell took off for Arizona thinking they would right away build him a new stadium but it took 18 years for funding so they played in a college footballe stadium.

    I remember this game, and yes, this game was very important. Me being a life long, die hard, Redskins fan, this season was very important. Back then, the league was not a pass heavy league. So you needed a team to have a great defense that could stop the run, and also defend the pass, which Washington had. For offense, you needed a great "O" line, and we had the Hogs. You needed a deep threat receiver, we had Art Monk, and of course, you needed a great running back and were had the Diesel, John Riggins. However, our secret weapon was Mark Mosley. He was consistent, and delivered the gotta have it clutch kicks. We won the St. Louis game without ever making it into the endzone. Mosley put the game away by making all 4 of his field goals, stopping the late game rally from the Cardinals. Also, since it was a strike shortened season, every game had playoff consequences. So when Mark "The Boot" Mosley had the best season in NFL History, that game put us into the lead in the division. Thus, we won our 1st Superbowl for Washington.

And your comment implying it shouldn't have been called because it was only inches offside rather than 5 yards was laughable. There's been infinitely more important things than an MVP award decided on far more marginal or downright wrong calls than this.

These videos tend to over dramatize the reality; but DO provide slivers of forgotten history, which I like. A clutch kicker with a high percentage was key to their season, but that's a different argument (his presence or not, not 1 play). Still think one motion doesn't compete with the overall athleticism and defense reading a qb must have.

      Also here’s a “Cliff Claven little known fact.” In that playoff game the two place kickers were Mosely and a lesser known kicker named Rick Danmeier, who was also a straight kicker. They were the last two straight kickers in the nfl. So that was the last time anyone saw two straight kickers in the same game.

In 2003, Dolphins kicker Orlindo Mare missed two game winning field goals in October against New England due to issues with the dirt infield and shortly after the second one, the Patriots completed a long TD pass to win in OT.
    The only reason the dirt infield was still there was due to the Florida Marlins beating the Cubs in the NLCS and was in the World Series.
    The game was the third of the Patriots NFL record 21 wins in a row and had they lost, would have put them 1 1/2 games behind the Dolphins. This sounds like something the channel should cover.
