I'm 61, freakin love the older videos, keep em coming, would like to see more of where are they now, Dryer, Irvin Harold Jackson, McCutheon, Cappeletti, Bertleson, James Harris
growing up as a little kid in this era i always remember around the holidays my dad yelling at the TV set , sometimes throwing his Budweiser at it. when i got a little older and also became a Rams fan i understood why. the poor guy would always see the Rams get beat in the post season.
1973 Rams, 210 point differential, #3 all-time in Rams history , that's a 2 TD advantage every game average, only the 1999 & 2001 team had better for/against numbers, wish they had won the Super Bowl in 73
@@drewnogy They They weren't better in fact on the contrary the best team they had was 1969 rams coached by George Allen and went 11-0 .They could've won the rest of their games and went 14 - 0 with Roman Gabriel n the fearsome foursome but coach Allen wanted to rest his players and home field advantage was not in play. Every other year the NFC championship was alternative. So it didn't matter what your record was, because the rams would've played in LA Coliseum instead they played in Frozen Minnesota in freezing weather. But they were leading min 20 - 7 at halftime. But Joe Capp with seconds to go dove over Decon Jones for the game winner to make it 23 - 20 to win the game. I was 9yrs old and was devastated.
We ran 7 years of dominance ... with a habit of chocking in the second season. Bittersweet. It was the Patriots that broke our consecutive Division Championships record.
I remember watching that 1973 playoff game against the cowboys. This was the first year that I was a huge RAM fan. I was only 10. But the game started out with a couple of turnovers. They started off down 14 right off the bat
I was barely three but I remember sitting on my grandfather's lap while we watched on TV. He would take my hands and clapped whenever #29 catches the ball. Harold Jackson was the original #29 Ram. Jack Snow was probably Cooper Kupp like at the time. I remember the Jack Snow name when he used to call Rams games on the radio during my pre teen years.
Went to my first Rams game as a kid in '73. Exciting beyond words. The fandom just grew and it was just the most gut wrenching time the whole decade. All my friends were Rams fans and we loved every player each one of us having a favorite. If you were a kid and a fan in So Cal at the time you understand. When they moved to St Louis it was like a family member dying. Havent cared much at all even since they came back. Its not the same. Either way, you just cant explain the joy of being an LA Rams fan in the 70s.
The 70's and the "Big-6". Rams, Cowboys, Vikings, Steelers, Raiders, Dolphins. Every NFC and AFC Conference Championship game from 1970-1979 had one or both of these teams in them. Only other participants for NFC that decade were 49'ers, Redskins and Buccaneers. For AFC the Colts, Broncos, and Oilers.

Been a L.A. RAMS fan all my 66 years. Roman Gabriel was my hero when I was a kid. I love the new uniforms. It’s the only uniform the L.A. Rams WON a Super Bowl with. Hated that euro trash gold in St Louis but then they weren’t really our Rams were they. 2024 is going to be great year! Victory on Feb 9, 2025! R.I.P. #18
ended up talking to him on the phone, like 3 years before the Rams returned. I listed all the players from this team and he says "Those guys you just named, those were real football players"
The Blue and yellow combo is the teams original colors. They switched to dark blue and white to look better on black and white TV broadcasts, but obviously by the 70's people had color TV so they switched back to yellow and bright blue.
Uni's were fine , but after hadl they didn't have a QB until Ferragamo was allowed to play...so they lost in playoffs to the stinky smelly gawdawful vikings who would go on. To get steam rolled in every super bowl and those Pukeface cowoies
Not a Rams fan, but the Rams got screwed in 1973 by the playoff system. Finishing 12-2 and 2 wins ahead of 10-4 Dallas, they had to play in Dallas the playoff game where they lost. Even more ridiculous was the NFC Championship game also played in Dallas even though the 12-2 Vikings had the better record. This game, however, the better team would win. Still, the Vikings could never win a Super Bowl no matter where they played.
@@VolumedMusicMan They had so-called rotating playoff site rules at the time. The worst example was 1972 when the 14-0 Dolphins had to travel to 11-3 Pittsburgh where they nearly lost the game during their historic 17-0 season.
Before this season started, Las Vegas had the 49ers winning the NFC West Division. After the 1973 Season, the Los Angeles Rams had won the NFC West Division over the preseason favorites by a whopping 7 games. It only goes to show how wrong they can be in those Las Vegas Sports Books.
Best Rams vintage uniforms ever.. Since after Super Bowl 53.... These vintage Rams uniforms should be the permanent primary uniforms... Period.💙🤍💛🇺🇸🏈.. The best blue and gold/ yellow uniforms should be the basic standard.....No Questions Ask.... Thank you for playing the video 1973-99 and 2018 season
Rams had it all. And, would soon be in the super bowl. BUT!, Then they traded Hadle away. By by super bowl. The blue & white were the best Rams uniform.
I love how Dryer would sack the Green Bay QB and then smack him on the booty haha could you imagine AD99 doing that to any QB after he gets them?!?!? LOL oh how the times have changed
The Rams just couldn't get pass the Cowboys nor the Vikings. After that year the QB situations sucked!! Hadl was there only one year then the QBs were replaced every year. Harold Jackson was my favorite player along with McCutcheon. I was 11yrs old in 73' And nothing like these old school vids. Love em!!
I was 11 in 73 as well. I started going to the games in 1970, so by then I was well up to speed. Man, that was the start of some great years, and they all ended with tears. But then so did 2021, but those were tears of Joy
Larry Brooks was one of the most underrated Rams of all time. What a solid player; great tackler.
Came out of Virginia State, HBCU. Was very underrated.
and Mike Fanning too.
all pro
Look at these great uniforms!!! Bring them back now!!! Give US the RAMS FANS what we want!!! The Jack Youngblood era horns and uniforms!!! GO RAMS!!!
i love these throwbacks too...but come on already..get over it
Ugliest uniforms ever
no doubt 100% nicer
Loved it when they wore these Blue and Golds in Super Bowl LIII.
