Skins Stole 1993 NFC Championship

[links18]

Just watched the NFL Network's Greatest Games special on the 1983 NFC Championship. Man, were there some bad calls in that game that helped the Skins win! Oh well, they got their rear ends handed to them two weeks later by the Raiders:laugh2:

They stole a game they never played in? :

LOL. I was confused too because of the thread title.

They stole it from the 49ers and then got their arses kicked. Pretty much a perfect ending since the Boys weren't there.

The game that launched the (short) Hogeboom Era. We totally owned them at RFK about a month earlier, but it was not to be.

From what I understand-the Skins didn't give the Raiders a whole lot of respect(i.e. players were skipping curfew et al during SB week). And to boot-Gibbs made THE WORST playcall of his career-instead of taking a kneel down with seconds to go in the half with them being backed near their own endzone, he thought a short screen would work b/c it was the same play that worked brilliantly in that same situation against the Raiders in the reg season.

Pt being that lightning doesn't strike twice-it ended up changing the personality of that game.
