Customer Rating:      Summary: "Fight on, fight on, 'til you have won, Sons of Washington!" Comment: NFL SUPER BOWL COLLECTION - WASHINGTON REDSKINS assembles three NFL Films documentaries, each detailing a NFL season which ultimately led to a Redskin Super Bowl victory. This is a must-have for Redskin fans. The years since the last Super Bowl appearance may have been barren, but that only makes these memories sweeter.
All three documentaries have the same structure. Each runs an hour. The first half details the entire season as a whole. Most of the notable teams of that year are given at least a mention and the compelling story-lines are given plenty of discussion. As the season and playoffs progress, teams fall by the wayside, leaving us with only two.
The second half of each documentary is focused solely on that season's Super Bowl with most important plays and stories described in typical NFL Films style. If you've ever watched ESPN at an odd time of day, you'll almost sure to have seen an NFL Films production of this kind. You know the sort of thing: grainy film of a pig-skin flying through the air in a perfect spiral; slow motion, low angle footage of players taking the field; John Facenda speaking in reverential tones of the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.
In addition to the Super Bowl seasons, there are four mini-documentaries ranging in length from four and a half to nine minutes each. "The Fun Bunch" looks at the style of touchdown celebration used by Redskin players in the days before the No Fun League really began to crack down on the display of any human emotion. "John Riggins" and "Doug Williams" document the careers of those two star athletes with the latter focusing on the history of Williams being the first black quarterback to start in a Super Bowl.
The "Joe Gibbs" feature has the longest running length and details Gibbs' career and his coaching style (note that this film is from 1996 and thus predates his return to the game in 2004). The final tale is of particular interest in this set given that Washington's only three championships in the Super Bowl era (so far) have come with Gibbs under the headset.
The mini-documentaries are pretty good, although given their shortness it's difficult for them to really delve into any sort of detail about their subject. Still for most of them (particularly "The Fun Bunch") it's really just an excuse to release some game footage that would otherwise never fit anywhere else. And in that manner, they succeed.
This set is a great nostalgia trip for any Redskins fan who grew up in the 1980s or for anyone who had fond memories of that Redskins dynasty. It's great to see all the old footage of the players and coaches from that era, and it's even great to hear Frank Herzog's voice doing the play-by-play. So many faces and names from that era: John Riggins, Joe Theismann, Mark Moseley, Joe Jacoby, Charles Mann, Dexter Manley, Doug Williams, Ricky Sanders, Art Monk, Gary Clark, Darrell Green, Jeff Bostic, Mark Rypien...
As always, NFL Films do a solid and professional job at relaying the action. If there is a downside for Redskin fans, it's that in the first half of the season documentaries, the Redskins must share time with the other twenty-seven teams in the league, and thus don't get a huge amount of time devoted to them.
It's says something that just a week after the end of what turned out to be a fairly unsettling and depressing Redskins season, I popped one of these DVDs into the player and very quickly found my Redskin fanaticism returning. Until the folks down at Redskins Park get their act together, watching these three past victories will have to suffice.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Relive the most memorable moments from Washington's three Super Bowl victories. From the their fourth-quarter heroics against the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII; to Doug Williams, breaking records in Super Bowl XXII but more importantly breaking racial stereotypes as the first African-American quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl; to their victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI. This winning DVD features hours of exclusive NFL Films footage along with revealing interviews and commentary from legends inside the Redskins huddle.
