1989 RetroSkins Highlights: Washington Redskins vs Atlanta Falcons
Вставка

- The Redskins take on the Falcons in week 15 of the '89 season with fading playoff hopes on the line. After a series of early mishaps helped the floundering Falcons to a 27-10 first half lead, the Redskins went on a rapid-fire, blink and you'll miss it, 21-point third quarter rally to salvage the 31-30 victory. The win wasn't enough to preserve playoff hopes (thanks a lot, NY Jerks). Nonetheless, the victory lifted Washington to 9-6, on the way to a 10-6 finish that set the team on a winning track for the remainder of the Gibbs 1.0 era.
This would be the last Redskins appearance for Doug Williams, who did some relief work for a briefly injured Mark Rypien - long enough for Williams to toss one last TD (fittingly to Art Monk, the one receiver he didn't hit up for a score in SB XXII). This was also the final match-up vs the Falcons in their now-retired red uniforms (not counting retro uni games). This might have been the Skin's first match-up against some guy named Sanders as well.
From long-gone Fulton County Stadium, it's Tim Bryant and Dan Jiggerts (yes, THE Dan Jiggerts) on the call for the penultimate game of the '89 season. (We use words like "penultimate" on this channel. La-de-da, people.)

Mark Rypien showed he was tough as NAILS!! That was a VICIOUS hit he took at an AWKWARD position.
This game marked the final time we saw this uniform matchup between ATL and WSH (Falcons 2nd to last game overall wearing these jerseys before ditching red for black in 1990)
Falcons should go back to these uniforms 🏈🍺😊🤙
Love those old school uniforms
What a game much better than i remember but had something else on my mind back then😼🐱
This one is a patch of two tapes, so the picture sharpens up late in the 1Q after we hop to the better tape and we hop back to the first tape at the very end. In case anyone notices… Both are un-retouched HD captures off original 30+ year old VHS recordings.
Just subscribed my uncle Danny Copeland played for this redskins logo I went too all of his game's still a fan let's go.
@ellejaycopeland8835 Your uncle is Danny Copeland? We’ve got a BIG highlight with him coming sometime soon! Would love to hear what uncle Danny thinks of our channel!
@@RetroSkins He loves and appreciate you all and channel love and yes that's my daddy brother I lived in Fairfax Virginia with my uncle Danny Copeland games were played at RFK stadium.
Good ol' #29. Always liked him.
Used to love Danny and Brad Edwards in the secondary on one of the great, underrated teams of all time...
@@bmoredeplorable5152 absolutely 💯 this why I will always be a Washington fan change name but not history Green was my favorite he would give me head bands nice guy.
Remember it was so cold this day..I was 19..Went out with my cousin the night b4..Out all night ..Game was at 4..Slept till 330..Had to get up b4 kickoff 😂..
That sounds like you had a good time
Tony Casillas was an All-Pro nose tackle in 1989 for the Falcons.
He played in Dallas I don’t remember if he played in a Super Bowl
@@samright4661 . Yes.....he had 2 stints in Dallas. 1991-93....signed with the Jets for 2 years.....then went back to Dallas in 1996 for his last 2 NFL seasons.
@@zacchaeuswilson6116 He was a very good player! So he got a ring? I remember Atl drafted him at 3 overall I think Tony was a high draft pick! I think he played at Oklahoma
I wish the Falcons would go back to these uniforms..100% nicer than the current..🏈🏈🏈
It’s still wild that the Posse all went over 1K and they still missed the playoffs.
They couldn't run the ball that year.
Falcons had all those big draft choices - all that talent, yet went 3-13, and never had another winning season in the 80s after Coach Bennett left after 1982. Best visitors uniforms Falcons ever had. Liked the black facemasks.
Kicking has come a long way. 43 yarders are routine in today’s NFL
💯💯💯
This year the Falcons lost 2 players to unfortunate accidents.

How in the hell was Tuggle not at least penalized for that hit on Rypien?? He would have been thrown out in today's game..
Chris Miller would have been a outstanding QB if he didn’t get hurt so much
Atlanta blew another lead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
