I never realized how good that '76 Patriot teams was. They took out the Dolphins, Steelers and Raiders in a row. Beating the 3 teams that dominated the AFC in the 70s like that is an awesome feat.
The 76 Patriots were my favorite all time team. They were a team of destiny. Unfortunatly, the refs took an certain AFC title and probably a Super Bowl away from them in the playoffs. Grogan's Heroes still live in the hearts of us Old School Patriors fans!
@@DavidBrown-jx3mqI was ten years old at the time and I do remember the playoff game vs Oakland and the calls that were controversial. The AFC was tough and I watched them more than the NFC.
9 long years in the making these Raiders never made it Daryl Lamonica , George Blanca, Hewritt Dixon, Marv Hubbard, Charlie Smith , Warren Wells, Billy Cannon, Bob Moore, Jim Otto , Harry Schuh , Bob Brown, Tom Keating , iSaac Lassiter, Dan Birdwell , Carleton Oats , Ben (behind the green door) Davidson, Art Thoms, Tony Cline, Horace Jones, Bubba (eats big candy bars) Smith, Dan Conners, Gus Otto , Bill Laskey., Gerald Irons, Dave Grayson, Kent Mcloughan, Nehemiah Wilson and the rest this year was a long time coming 1967 -1977 10 years of the highest winning percentage Hardest hits and most entertaining football games the OAKLAND RAIDERS of 1967-1977
He struggled pronouncing Wayne Hawkins, an often forgotten Guard for the Oakland Raiders, there's a blooper reel of Facenda outtakes where he called him Harkins but catches himself and continues flubbing until a bleeped out ending.
Maybe the greatest simultaneous 1 hit wonder tandem in history, Jones&Carr, 76. Bert did have another good year in 77, but for both guys, their 76 years would never come close to being replicated throughout their careers. An uncanny connection that year.
@@gavvino1 He signed with the WFL but never played there. After he signed with them the Colts traded him to Green Bay in 1974. In 1975 the Packers traded him to Oakland.
The Patriots were the best team that year. They annihilated Oakland wk 2 and outplayed them in Oakland in the playoff game. There were a few calls that went against them and Stabler did his thing. The Raiders were great that year but it took some breaks to get past that mostly forgotten Patriot team. How damn cool are those Pats uniforms. Why they changed to the lousy uniforms they currently use is beyond me.
Kinda like the Tuck "rule" / Snow Job? Only the roughing the passer call in 76 was legit...a little penny-anny but at least real, lol. No doubt the 76 Pats were scary good; but the Raiders were the best team, losing only once; and no team has been screwed out of more Super Bowls.
winningest team over 14 year period. during the 70s probably the 2nd best team in NFL after Steelers. they seemed to give Steelers a game in playoffs, unlike NFC champs (except for Cowboys). I’d rate the 70s teams as 1. Steelers, 2. Raiders. 3. Cowboys., and 4. Dolphins
@@topJimmyP1984 by the score it was. Steelers missed a PAT and two FGs or it would have been 17-0 before the Vikings got the score on the blocked punt. 16-6 final was a few plays from being 24-0. Minnesota didn’t have 20 yards rushing and like in all their SBs got manhandled on the LOS.
I know the rules were different back then but why didn’t some tight end take Tatum out up the middle. He was just trying to hurt people. If his dumbass hadn’t been trying to head hunt against Pittsburgh that ball probably would have just dropped or he could have intercepted it. Instead it went right into Franco’s hands
Patriots got screwed in Oakland or Steelers could have beaten Patriots in rematch for AFC Championship. Steelers would have beaten Vikes again for three in a row
@@howardcosell2022 Yes you are absolutely right about Franco and Rocky being out. That defense was on an incredible roll though. Pats did beat them early in the season (Week 3) so it would have been possible for the Steelers to lose a championship game at home for a third straight trip to the Super Bowl but not likely.
John Facenda for the Hall of Fame.
He's in there.
He is not. He and John Browne are yet to be inducted.

As an 8 year old kid. I became a fan of the NFL. I remember betting my Dad on who would win the Super Bowl that year. Great Memories for me.
Back when the middle class could afford to go to the s Super Bowl.
Exactly
Whenever I watch these old films I keep saying “hey it’s the INDIANAPOLIS Colts. Baltimore is the Ravens.” 😁
First time the Vikings made me cry sadly for the next four decades they would keep doing it
16:31…..that quote still haunt to this day

Barely talked about the Bengals in this...they were a AFC powerhouse too.
Not really. Just three playoff appearances in the 1970s.
No they weren’t
24:13, for some reason the background sky color, coupled with that balloon and the music is just very haunting to me somehow...
Colts gave up on Ted Hendricks, Raymond Chester, Jon Dutton.? No wonder they never went anywhere.
Hendricks left the Colts went to the ill-fated WFL. After the league folded, he signed with Oakland. He always wanted to be a Raider.
@@gavvino1 He signed with the WFL but never played there. After he signed with them the Colts traded him to Green Bay in 1974. In 1975 the Packers traded him to Oakland.
The AFC was the better conference overall in the 1970’s with better more exciting teams with better won/loss records overall than the NFC

A NFC team playing an AFC team during the regular season (Baltimore and Dallas). How did that happen?

This should have been a Steelers-Rams Super Bowl.

11:36 anyone know the title of this winter track?
Man the Vikings always sucked it up in the super bowl, 4 appearances and they never led in any of them.
None of the games were competitively close either. Especially SB 8. That was the most lopsided 17 point loss you’ll ever see.
@@Biggdoom344 SB IX was close.

Vikings and Rams played to a 10 to 10 tie. 6:53. Won't see any tie games in 2022 . Probably won't be another NFL tie rest of this decade.

The Patriots were the best team in the NFL in 1976. We got revenge in 2001.
