I’m with you on that. Football today is nothing like it was in these days. I think one of the big turning points was when they began demolishing all the old dual purpose stadiums. It was especially a bummer to see Three Rivers Stadium go. I remember being home in leave in 2002 from Fort Bragg, and going to see Les Claypool at Station Square. Across the river, you could see Three Rivers stadium being rigged to demolish. I was so pissed seeing that The old stadiums gave the game nostalgia of its own. I always ,over seeing the dirt baseball infields on the football fields early in the season, like in Cleveland, Anaheim stadium, metropolitan stadium in Minnesota, County stin Milwaukee… so many more

I am a big john madden and oakland raiders fan but I tell you that if franco and rocky would have played in 1976 afc title the steelers would have won and then won superbowl 11. The steelers were just too good for the cowboys.

That's a good point, simply because a football fan who knew about the Steelers was looking at the fact that it became one dimensional. Zero running game left the Raiders knowing what Pittsburgh had to do. And that was to throw the football. No running game makes it harder to open up the passing game. Edge clearly goes to Oakland in this game. Not taking anything away from the Raiders. They beat a lot of good teams that year, and the Vikings could give any defense trouble. I always agreed with the Raiders linebacker who said he wanted to beat Pittsburgh when they were at their best. The rivalry compelled both teams to play their best game.

I was a Steeler fan, but their advantage was minimal. In Super Bowl 13, Dallas had a wide open receiver drop a td pass that was right in his hands...so they took a field goal...the differential in points went from the 7 they would have had to 3...and those 4 points were the difference in the game...If Pittsburgh was THAT much better, they wouldn't have had to rely on such a fluke play to win. Those Dallas-Pittsburgh Super Bowls from the 70's were among the best ever played, and they both came down to a play or two here or there...

Just some more facts that faced steelers in 1976 afc title against raiders, franco and rocky were out plus a third back frenchy was hurt some and played some in the game. Plus there very accurate place kicker gerela was hurt and they had a backup center who kicked for the steelers in the game instead. No doubt if Terry would have had franco and rocky 2 clutch performers and gerela in the game to kick field goals the steelers would have crushed oakland. One week before when they were healthy and had franco and rocky playing they demolished a strong colts team that alot of people said were the best afc team in the playoffs.
