DVD Reviews of NFL: Washington Redskins - 3 Greatest Games

DVD Review: Not Enough.
Summary: 4 Stars

This 3-disc set seems perfunctory for one of the great franchises in the NFL. Other people have made good suggestions for future games to release. I'd also love to see some games from just prior to the Super Bowl years, like:
-1979 win over Dallas at RFK

-1980 wk 15 last-minute win over the Giants

-1981 wk 6 over Bears. 1st Gibbs win.

-1981 wk 10 33-31 shootout win over the Lions

these are just a few suggestions

DVD Review: QUALITY...EXCELLENT. COMPLETE?..NOT EXACTLY
Summary: 4 Stars

Well, the visual quality that is available on this DVD set is second to none (out of everything that has been available so far). It is very clear. Now, these sets do contain every play in these three Super Bowls (including the false start opening kickoff of Super Bowl XXVI). The footage is the same footage as the original TV broadcasts, along with commentary by the original TV game announcers. These are the strengths of the set.

The only weakness that I perceive that this set has is that the games are still somewhat edited. Some of the action between plays is edited out. So, you may see the end of a punt play, and then it might immediately cut to the next team's quarterback taking the snap, for example. So, a lot of times things that will be missing are the players going into and out of the huddle, coming onto the field, etc. In Super Bowl 26, for example, they almost completely cut out a touchdown celebration by Gerald Riggs. I imagine that for a few people, 'cutting to the chase' in this way may be preferred, but for me, these edits create a slightly artificial feel to the games on these DVDs. This is because I consider the things that were cut out to be a part of watching a football game, such as touchdown celebrations. I think it would have been better if NFL Films had released the whole game EXACTLY as broadcast on TV, except without the commercials (of course). At any rate, NFL Films should have left that stuff in, to allow you as the viewer to decide what is important enough to want to watch; if it's on the DVD, you can always fast-forward it if you don't want to watch it. But if it's not there to begin with, then you don't even have the option of watching it. If you want the whole, uncut games, you're going to have to look elsewhere.

For having the great visual quality, and every play, but also due to the edits, I give this collection Four Stars.

DVD Review: Redskins Super Bowl Wins
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent quality for these 3 Super Bowl games. Would have been nice to have more classic games in this collection than just the Redskins 3 Super Bowl wins, but a nice group of games. Enjoyable to watch, even for a non-Redskins fan like me.

DVD Review: Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great collection of the Redskins' three Super Bowl victories. It was great going back and actually reliving some of those great moments. Who can ever forget that great run by John Riggins???

DVD Review: Is What It Is...
Summary: 4 Stars

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!
