Great memories. My football years from my childhood

There will never be anything like the Steelers of the 70s. & I'm a Raiders Fan but these guys were SO much fun to watch

Rams played a game worth being proud of, effort-wise. Steelers were just a great team. Great teams like them, the Packers of the 60s, Cowboys in the 70s, and 1980s 49ers, had this quality of coming back and winning games like this.

Those team fight songs were AWEFUL!!!

Staworth was covered! Terry threw a perfect ball!!!

That second big Stallworth catch in the 4th quarter... My goodness

Beginning in 1978, the NFL changed the rules in which a DB can't jam a WR within the first 5 yards of the line of scrimmage and that began the evolution of the NFL passing game.

Actually, it was AFTER the first five yards of the line of scrimmage.

​@@JAWrightonlinehe stated it wrong obviously, that rule did open up the offense because receivers were taking some dirty cheap shots

John McKay was the best " We can't win at home , we can't win away , so were looking for a neutral site " ! GOLD !

McKay doubled as the Bucs GM. According to quarterback Doug Williams, McKay addressed the team for playing poorly: "Some of you guys are playing like you don't want to be here. If you don't want to be here, come see me. I'll trade your ass!" 😮😮😮🤣🤣🤣

That Steelers team was so good, they had 52 turnovers and won the Super Bowl. The team in general and Terry Bradshaw in particular, had trouble concentrating if they weren't up for a game. The ONLY game they had all year without a turnover was against Dallas. The one game all year they were totally up for.

Harry Kallas narrates this documentary

"Waddy was wide open, Ray. Waddy was wide open on the post." The image at 38:00 We almost had an upset of Namath proportions with this one. Rams outplayed the Steelers for three quarters. Unfortunately, it takes four, especially against a super team like the Steelers. As good a Super Bowl as was ever played, even if it is largely forgotten. Also, Stallworth should have been MVP. He completely saved the Steelers bacon in this game.

Funny thing was, the Rams seemed to have the Steelers number in the '70s. They beat the Steelers at the Coliseum 10-3 in '75, and again 10-7 in '78. Needless to say, the Steelers certainly didn't take them lightly.

What could have been…if Vince never int that pass to lambert it’s would have been just like SB 3. Hell this team could have won more than more dare I say they could have more like 3 or 4. But the Steelers was the team of the 70s for a reason.

God is good all the time amen!!! Glory to god!!!

Thank you for uploading these. I had the dvds as a kid.

San Diego Chokers along with their Cheapskate owner Gene Klein began their string of chokes. 1979-82.

Talking about the pass game in 1979. Four decades later, it's all that matters. Not sure that's actually an improvement.

I liked how the game was in the 80s… not too skewed overall towards either pass or run… there were teams who excelled in one or the other or both. By the 90s the game definitely became pass first instead of balanced like it was in the 80s.

"Air Coryell" remember these prolfic offenses

I remember those glory days of the Pittsburgh Steelers. who knows if Terry Bradshaw wouldnt have gotten hurt the one year and Franco Harris another they might have won 6 Super Bowls in a row.

They weren't capable of overcoming barriers in 77 to win 6 consecutive SB's. The monetary gripe by many players and lawsuits scenario in 1977 destroyed team continuity ,they weren't psychologically unified enough to capture anything other then barely winning the AFC Central division that season ,the first round defeat to the eventual conference champ Broncos was inevitable .

The NFL was so much fun to me growing up in the 1970s and 80s. Now, we have politics and wokeness. It will never be the same.

I told Bradshaw to throw deep.

They cut a live performance of McFadden and Whitehead singing “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now” so that some barely legible goomba could sing some tone def garbage for the Steelers?!? Lmao even NFL Films was in the bag for those roided out Steelers.
