- I've enhanced the 1980 Week 6 Bengals at Steelers game. This game is pretty dull to look at, even after enhancement. The lighting that day with it being overcast and all just didn't lend itself to good color. The main highlight of this enhancement is the clean-up of the crud in the picture and the sharpening. You can see the before/after shots here -- imgbox.com/g/H... -- my thanks to romelovesdan for providing the DVD files used for this project.
Thanks for posting these games the NFL back then was more fun to watch than it is today hollywood and the music industry has taken precedents over ( not just the NFL) all sports please post more and like the commercials as well better then than now.
Those old Bengals uniforms look better than what they replaced them with!
The Accuracy of Kenny A is amazing
Wow what a game. loved it ❤❤❤
Last season of clean shaven Kenny Anderson.
I understand Colquitt can't punt with a sprained foot but couldn't he have held the snap for the field goal?
2:32:27 Nice punt by Bradshaw
Pat McInally was better
@@howardcosell2022 Danny White was better than both McInally and Bradshaw
Thanks for the video Dave Volsky’s Back Door! Do you happen to have 1980 Patriots at Jets and 1974 Patriots at Vikings?
No.
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Oh ok thanks for letting me know.
Laces out. SMH
Webster/Bradshaw first two snaps 🫰 lol 😂
Cheered on the completion of the third snap. lol !😂
The Bengals need to bring back these uniforms as a throw back uniform!!
Yes they do. I don't know if every team wears throwbacks, but it sure seams like most of them do. But the Bengals don't, I assume only because they don't want to pay for another set of uniforms that will only be used once.
The 81 uniforms are better. Having the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals almost identical color schemes and in the same Division too was just bad.
@@Armis71 The same guy made the decision on the uniforms for both teams, so it's not surprising that they ended up with a very similar design.
Last year for those Bengals uniforms. Looking back, I actually really like the simplicity.
Always loved that helmet for some reason. Simplicity seems about right.
Me too! Liked it better with the facemasks not painted black.
I was about to say the same thing. I also like the fact that Ken Anderson wore the Okd Fashion quarterback face mask
The old uniforms were Rubbish. The new ones are too cartoonish. Bengals need to go back to the drawing board. Orange is just not a good football color.
They changed for the better. The pre 1981 uniforms were too basic and boring.

Notice that during this telecast of the Ads that emphasizes gasoline savings and fuel economy? Possibly one reason, from what I recall, was that gas prices in parts of the US had cracked the one-dollar mark, per gallon, around that time.
Yeah, it was one of the reasons Carter is about to lose the election to Reagan. OPEC was embargoing the US.
Matt Bahr would go onto bigger and better things as a kicker, but not on this day.
Bahr kicked the laces on the last FG attempt
@@smg1665 Yup - 3:03:31 ... Stoudt (filling in for the injured Colquitt) gave Bahr the laces. Bahr was great in '80 (93% FGs made), but bad things happen when you kick the laces.
This was on Stoudt, IMO.
The Bengals swept the Steelers in 1980, winning earlier in Cincinnati 30-28. The Steelers slip was showing as they missed the playoffs in 1980 for the first time since 1971. A more impressive win over the Steelers came for the Bengals the year before when on October 14th 1979 the 0-6 Bengals defeated the 5-1 Steelers in Cincinnati 34-10. What was unique about that? It marked the only time from 1972 to 1979 that Pittsburgh lost to a team with a lesser record.
I always thought the 79 Steelers were the weakest of their 4 SB title teams. Beat the Oilers in the playoffs but the Oilers were seriously beat up and crippled and if Nolan Cromwell doesn't drop a 4th Q INT that almost certainly would have been returned for a TD, maybe the Rams actually win the SB.
@@kissherlips1 The Steelers actually caught a bigger break a few weeks before. In week 12 the Steelers went to San Diego and were destroyed by the Chargers 35-7. at 14-2, the Chargers were the #1 seed in the AFC and seemed destined to go to the Super Bowl. The Chargers were upset at home in the first round of the playoffs by Houston 17-14. Vernon Perry of the Oilers intercepted four Dan Fouts passes and J. C. Wilson added another for good measure as Fouts went nuclear, costing the Chargers a shot at the Super Bowl and opening the door for Pittsburgh.
@@kissherlips1 I think the Steelers '74 SB team was their weakest. Sports Illustrated before the start of the 1974 playoffs stated that the Steelers were the only playoff team without a quarterback. The QB position was very suspect for the Steelers that year.
I'd rather watch these games then the football now! The game was decided by the players, not the refs!!!
So the refs didn't make any calls?
I love how loud you can hear the crowd. Today's broadcasts the crowd is so muted
Awesome post , complete game with commercials, best era, classic uniforms.
I remember the '80 season very well. I know I'm gonna enjoy this one!
Thank you, as always, Dave.
I remember the 80 Bengals very well also. I'd completely forgotten Sam Nover working for NBC though. He worked for a Pittsburgh affiliate for years. I'm a lifelong Bengal fan but I'm kind of in the Pittsburgh market. I basically live the same distance to Pittsburgh as I do Cincinnati. So I recognized Nover's voice immediately.
A local TV station has carried all of the Steeler pre season games for as long as I can remember. Sam did play by play on those for years.
Thanks. For this the next year the. Bengals won. The AFC. With. Forrest. Gregg
The Steelers finished 9-7 in 1980, but three losses (Cinn and Cleveland) were by a combined total of 4 points. In all three games, missed FGs and extra points cost them the game. So a better kicking game and they could have finished 12-4, the same record they had in winning the SB in 1979. Also in 1980, 12-4 would have won the Central Division. Just shows how it's a game of inches sometimes.
These Steelers finished 9-7, missing the playoffs for the first time since 72. Bahr and Colquitt were tremendous upgrades from Gerela and Walden who bumbled through the 70's, but ironically it was a missed (blocked) extra point in this game, plus a missed FG at the end (although it looked to be a bad hold) and another missed XP two weeks later against Cleveland, that arguably cost them a playoff berth in 1980.
As I watched, I thought Sam Nover's play-by-play call was really good, but found his repartee with color commentator Bob Trumpy to be, at times, awkward. I knew Trumpy was a former Bengals TE, but knew nothing of Nover. Turns out he was a mainstay in Pittsburgh sports for ~30 years, being the voice of the short-lived Pittsburgh Maulers (USFL) as well as the Pittsburgh Penguins. I think that explains the occasional odd-sounding exchanges. Trying, maybe a little too hard, to have friendly banter. All in all, I think both guys kept their rooting interests farily well in check. Sad to see that Sam passed away in 2018 at the age of 77.
At that time, Sam Nover and Bob Trumpy were NBC’s #4 NFL announcing team.
1) 1980 Steelers - almost all the names were the same but everyone was more worn and tired. Most of them played more than a season's worth of post season games and it showed. Hard games, at a time when there were some gimmies during the regular season
2) Bradshaw treating Smith like Swann and throwing into double coverage, almost getting picked. People saw Swann not HOF-worthy, but I think he is the guy that tuned Bradshaw into a passer more than anyone.
3) James Garner was the man. Great commercials, unlike today's garbage.
4) Hard watching Webster.
5) The year before the Bengals got it together. Ken Anderson should be HOF. Arguably the best reg season QB from 73 to 83. I feel he was too calm and cool, lacking the fire fans demand out of QBs. Just enjoyable watching his throws. Pretty durable too, considering Pitt pounded him twice a year.
6) I didn't appreciate 80s football back then. Bought into the No Fun League idea, as defenses adjusted and regained an edge after Mel Blount-like rules had put then in check.
7) Great intro music. Sticks in your head. Also, last season of cool disco-y music when going to commercials.
8) I don't understand what T Bell is doing on the last punt.
9) Stout lost it. Laces were not out.
1980 was the year the Steeler dynasty ended.
That JC Penney Ad at 44:06 for what was considered a bargain price of $499 for an audio stereo receiver; that would run at around $1,750 in 2024.
Look at how much home electronics can be got for $1,750 in 2024.
Remarkable the bargain prices to be had with home entertainment electronics nowadays, such as with HDTVs.
Man … I just want to say god bless you for doing this. Long time NFL and Steelers fan but too young to appreciate some of those great 70’s and 80’s games. But I’m appreciating them now thanks to you. Thank you and if you’ll put up a donate button I will contribute something here and there.
All i got to say is wow gennesse cream ale lol.
Thanks for posting this. In 1980 I was an assistant trainer for the Steelers and was one of the staff attending to Craig Colquitt in the video. The play happened right in front of me, I can remember it like yesterday (or at my age better than yesterday)
Chris Collinsworth is even more annoying now.
Gotta love the old “K car”. Our MP patrol vehicle in 1980’s/90’s Germany.😂
This a amazing game and is how real football is played. Thanks again!
Another awesome upload. Thank you yet again….Laces out = FG always missed.
The bengals first ever win in Pittsburgh. 1980 also marked their first ever sweep of the steelers
Sam Nover & Bob Trumpy with the call 4 NBC!
steeelrs lost 3 games by 4 points that year...or they would have went 12-4 and went to the SB again..highly suspicious of this game with bahr missing an extra point and FG....hmmmmm..........
Bahr made 39 of 42 XPs that season. He also made 67.9% of his FG attempts (19 of 28) - he was 10th in the NFL in FG percentage. The top guy, Toni Fritsch, only made 79.2%. Kickers miss kicks. It happens, and those percentages were more the norm back in those days.
Back when QBs went down head first instead of sliding into the fetal position.
Oct 12,1980- Looks great!
OK, rest assured, the rest of week 3 Sept 21, 1980 CIN vs PITT matchup coming to you soon! dantheman5745 (and others) will be pleased!
😁
Awesome thanks
That was another Bahr miss at the end of the game if I recall
I was probably watching this game in San Antonio in my final 3 days of Basic Training. Thank you for the chance to watch this again and it is very cool to also see the commercials as they were too.😊
What kind of basic training let's u watch tv? oh yes it must have been the air force
That is correct, we did not have TVs. I must be thinking of technical school then. Thanks, it has been almost 44 years.
This is real football
Another great game from my favorite era of football....thanks.
Great game! Thanks for posting this.
I was seven years old. THis was my first season paying attention to the season and understanding what was going on.... and frankly remembering much.
But, I knew the history of the super bowl and I knew the Steelers were the kings of the NFL.
This game really disconcerted me. I didn't understand how Pittsburgh could lose this game. "Upsets" and "upstarts" bothered me at this time.
The word your looking for is frontrunner.
Thanks for sharing this. This is exactly what 70s/80s games were like, and why I fell in love with the NFL during this era. You would tune in just to watch the game and could enjoy more of the details of each game. The constant bombardment of information nowadays exhausts me. Great quality on this video….well done!
Anderson should be in the. Hof
I love your work Dave, but did you have to enhance THIS game? This was the beginning of the end of the Steeler dynasty.
Yes, yes I did :)
Before 1980 the steelers last missed the playoffs in 71. Made the 72 afc title game lost to Don. Shulas undeafted team
poor matt bahr
LOL at the Steelers' first series, punting on 4th and a foot. That's one way in which the game has changed for the better.
A bad day for fg.
Did Matt Bahr play for every team?
Shayne Graham played for 10
Didn't realize Dick Jauron was still playing at this point.
Chuck. Noll. Never won coach of. The Year. What a. Joke
Erlanger beer. Totally forgot about it. Didn't last.
Missed kick by Barr cost the Steelers the playoffs.
Yes Swann belongs in Hof awesome post season player
Found this channel relatively recently. Born/raised in South Florida in '70's as a Dolphins/Steelers fan (fam moved here from Pittsburgh). Absolutely love watching these old games! One thing though...Is it me or was the place-kicking horrible back then?! Never seen so many missed XP's and FG's!!
Kickers have gotten exponentially better since the 70s and 80s. By the late 90s, early 2000s they were much closer to the level they are today.
Punting and kicking has been ridiculously improved on since the year 2000 even
Steelers were just……..BALLER.
Far better then w/the 1979 Proud N on NBC, than any time today w/Posthumus Zone on CBS.
Do you have more of 1971 Dallas Cowboys? Love your channel. Thanks.
Thanks Kelbin! Unfortunately no. There aren't many 71 games period that have survived, and the only Cowboy one that I'm aware of is the Giants at Cowboys Monday night game.
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 I was hoping that wasn't the case. Thank you and keep up the good work.
I still hate the Steelers. Even 40 years later.
Brings me back to me childhood!
i just saw Ms Rosetta Lonore
Hell of a run by Craig Colquitt but he was injured 🤕 on that play.
i just love this
shoutout to the throwin samoan in the win over my steelers
PBP: Sam Nover
