Karma is the 12th player George ! Is this why George Allen has no Super Bowl Ring ! Jurgensen proved himself long before Allen came ! Lombardi would have never treated his players like that . Maybe that's why the Super Bowl trophy is named " The Lombardi Trophy " and not the " Allen Trophy " ? Karma baby ! I heard someone say once " Looks like hey put a cab driver in at quarterback " ! Sonny is always smiling and that tells you something ?

09:01 - "The only thing I ask of you is to be yourself." At that late stage of his life, coach Lombardi knew not to try to fix what wasn't broke. And when Sonny says: "I *finally* had a coach," one can tell he really means it. Lombardi was wise enough to know how to bring out the best in Sonny. George Allen wasn't, because he was so egotistical he wanted to mold every player's personality to suit his own. That's what separates good coaches from great ones.

Redskin fan from age 6, my brother and I had season tickets in 1967(6 games only - couldn't get Colts game tickets, $84 for them...$6 a game), 10 years old, row 12 behind the Redskins bench, everyone stood up to see the game and I had to look between everyone to see. Pat Richter used to practice punts behind the bench. The days of DC Stadium. We would have beat The Dolphins in the Super Bowl had Sonny played....AND had he been on the sideline. George deserved to lose that game, The Redskins did not.

~~ saw Sonny play in 1969 with Lombardi coaching - at the newly re-named RFK stadium - he was one of the best pure passers ever - his very fast release helped him avoid many sacks - much like Dan Marino - felt so bad for Sonny when he could not play in Super Bowl 7 due to injury - even coach Shula said it would have been a better game had Jurgensen played ..

Always liked Sonny's style. Once saw him (on TV) walk up to center, look around, bend over and back peddle...as though the ball magically appeared in his hands, step up into the pocket, duck under two defensive lineman's arms, and throw a rifle shot to his receiver. It was a beautiful thing to watch.

I saw Jurgensen play in 1961 when I had season tickets to THE EAGLES. Norm Van Brocklin had retired in '60 and Sonny Jurgensen took over. Sonny had great chemistry with Tommy MacDonald, just like Dutch did, and the Eagles had a great season. Then it came crashing down. There was a scandal which shall go unexplained. I know what I was told happened, but I don't want to slander anyone's memory. They had to get Jurgensen out of town. Jurgensen was shuffled off to the Redskins and the Eagles received Norm Snead in exchange, I think. What a disaster. The Jurgensen trade marked the beginning of two decades of futility by the Eagles. So yeah, I saw Jurgensen play.

I grew up in the DC suburbs. I became a diehard Redskins fan at 7 years old. I watched them on a black and white TV. In 1979 we finally got a color tv. The Redskins were 10-5. The final regular season game was against the hated Cowbows. If the Redskins won they clinch the eastern division. If they lose they miss the playoffs. The Redskins were up by 13 points in the fourth quarter. Roger Staubach, in his final season, engineers a comeback. The Redskins lose by one point. I went to my room and cried for a half hour. Mind you I was still a little kid. My dad came in and said what's the matter? He said there are disapointments in life. Imagine how the Redskin players are feeling. The next year they were 6-10. Coach Pardee was gone. Coach Gibbs came in. The Skins started 0-5. I was fortunate enough to know a kid whose Dad, a General, who had season tickets. I attended the San Francisco game, which was part of that 0-5 stretch. The 49ers stripped Terry Metcalf and Dwight Hicks ran for a touchdown. I can still envision the play as if I'm watching it from RFK Stadium. This was the low point. Will it ever happen for this team? Then, they turned it around. Apparently Theismann had a come to Jesus Moment, as he described in this interview. They did a 180. Fast forward to the NFC Championship against the Cowboys. A lot of kids at my school were rooting for the Cowboys. These were not kids from Texas. Dallas was "America's Team." To me these kids were casual fans just latched on to the C'owboys because they were winners. How could you be from the DC Area and not support the Redskins against the Cowboys? I understood why but it irked me. I had supported the Redskins through thick and thin for almost seven seasons. Mind you when you are young time goes by very slowly. Finally, the Reskins were in position to achieve glory. When Darryl Grant intercepted Gary Hogeboom and scored late in the game I was in heaven. To me the win over the Cowboys was almost as great as the Super Bowl Win over the Dolphins two weeks later. That was just the icing on the cake. Fast Forward 40 plus years and the Washington Commanders are stinking up the NFL trying to start over after many years of futility under the ownership of the egocentric Daniel Snyder. But there are those of us who remember a better time. A time filled with glory. A time where Joe Theismann led the team to glory. It can never be taken away from him, his teammates, or the thousands of die hard Redskins fans who stuck it out with them
