Washington Redskins Tickets Continued
In the early days of professional football, the Redskins quickly established themselves as a powerhouse team.
1932 - The Boston Braves are founded by George Marshall in Boston, Massachusetts and share Braves field with the baseball team of the same name.
1933 - The team are re-named the Redskins and moved to Fenway Park.
1936 - The Redskins won two league crowns and had ten consecutive winning records from 36' to 1945. The team struggled in these early years to achieve profitability. The team even won the Eastern Division Championship in 36' yet failed to garner a following from Boston fans. The team relocates to Washington D.C. and achieves newfound success. They achive 7 consecutive winning records and three appearances in the NFL Championship Game. During each of these appearances, the Redskins faced off against the Chicago Bears. They won two of these games, but lost the third in 1940 with a massive defeat of 73-0.
1946 - The team enters a dark period and posts consistantly losing seasons. The Redskins fail to qualify for the playoffs from 1946 to 1970. During this period, they change head coaches 11 times.
1971 - George Allen takes over as head coach. He makes extensive trades, and completely retools the team. After signing several veteran players, the team is dubbed the "Over The Hill Gang". Proving that skill comes with age, the team went on to win 9 victories, their best record in 29 years. During Allen's years with the team, he went 7 for 7, as the Redskins posted winning seasons each year, qualified for post-season play 5 times and played in a Super Bowl, although they lost to the Miami Dolphins 14-7.
1976 - The Redskins aquire Joe Theismann and John Riggins through trades. Both players become star players on the Redskin roster throughout the 80's.
1981 - Assistant Coach Joe Gibbs is hired to better the Redskin's passing. He stays with the team for 12 seasons, during which time they dominate the league with ten winning records, eight playoff appearances and three Super Bowl championships.
1999 - The Redskins endured slow seasons throughout much of the 90's but made a big comeback in 99 by winning their division.
