- I've enhanced the 1978 Week 14 Patriots at Cowboys game. I upscaled, denoised, sharpened, and doubled the framerate with Topaz. I then used Da Vinci Resolve to adjust the contrast and to really boost the color. Looks like a master tape now! See the before/after screenshots here -- imgbox.com/g/V... -- My thanks to romelovesdan for providing me the DVD files used for this project.

This is great.
Have you done any others?
Some of the better NFC or AFC playoff matchups would be great.
@@wcc1212 Check my recent videos - I've done probably close to 60 enhanced games the last 2 months.
thank you for the details on the creative process. I'm a video editor so I know all this jargon and love it. you will always be a winner for doing this service! you have earned a new subscriber and lifelong fan! I would pay to watch these videos, if you ever created a fans only page !
Great work, many memories
Picture looks awesome thanks
It isn't just nostalgia, but I think those old Patriot uniforms were way better than what they have now.
I know right !! I love the uniforms from the late 70's early 80's.
I hate the current uniforms. They will eventually go back to the original.
they were very sharp and I thought represented the New England region well
@@whataboutrob442 The WASHINGTON REDSKINS and CLEVELAND INDIANS had beautiful uniforms.
I agree with you 👍
I love how the Cowboys offense shifted into formation on each play. It was the coolest thing I ever saw.
Chuck. Fairbanks shouldve. Done. Much. Better. With. The. Talent. He. Had. Overated. Coach
LOVE THE COMMERCIALS!!!!! They complete the Time Machine experience.
The pre-game comment
"Baltimore safety Bruce Laird told me the only way you can cover a guy like Wesley Walker is with a gun"
And guess what, everyone knew it was a compliment to his blazing speed...nobody went into hysterics
For real
You really used that for a political opinion??? This is football. You used to also tell folks you wanted to kill them but that's not okay anymore.
@@ThankGodImBlack370 still do
They also said the word, "Redskins". Shhhhhhh
@@NorEEzta I'm a bit hard of hearing...was that Redskins? WASHINGTON REDSKINS?
Merlin was a very good player, commentator, and decent as an actor. Seemed like a really nice person. He and Mr. Enberg were a great combination for quite a few years.
Thanks Dave for restoring all of these vintage NFL games! This one is a real treat to watch.
Always one of my favorite games of the 70’s. The John Hannah vs Randy White battle is worth watching in and of itself. Great work, again!
A super bowl preview :) Could you imagine the Pats in the super bowl in 1978 !!
Yes. Exactly what I was going to post. Two of the greatest linemen man to man. I remember this game well
The tackling was so much better in. The 70s. Than today
This looks incredible . Boy, those were the days.
Except for the hair styles.
Totally agree 👍
There would be no football without these videos on TH-cam. Todays product does not come close to these games Thank you for your work. Looks great. Oh, and the commercials are AWESOME. When commercials are cut out, it really degrades the experience. You rock!!
All of this footage looks incredible! Thank you so much for all the work you put into these. It totally sends me back to my Sundays after church as a 10-year-old. This is when football was football.
Including the commercials with these adds to their value as time capsules. I enjoy them almost as much as the game!
I haven't thought of most of those players for a few decades, yet when I see the last names on the jerseys, I instantly remember them. That includes offensive lineman 😁
Thank you so much for posting the whole broadcast of these old games. Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson? C'mon, how cool is that?
Love the pats helmets and uniforms! Football was a much better game then!
A real treat this particular enhancement......The Defending Champion Cowboys vs a rushing record record setting Patriots. One of the most anticipated games of 1978. As Bryant Gumble said "... Possible Super Bowl Preview..." Of course, The Luv Ya Blue Oilers and the Steel Curtain Steelers had something left to say about that. Enjoy this one. Let the excellent duo of Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen along with the hard work of Dave Volsky be you guide.
1978 was a great year for the NFL and many other things.
@@shanetrimble9265 Yes indeed 1978-1979 were fantastic for this teenager. I got to experience many great things and make new discoveries....
In the latter part of this video which cutaway to the Houston-Pittsburgh game, seeing QB Gifford Nielsen warming up, with #42 teammate doing the ball catching during the warmup . . . the reason for the QB not catching the ball in warmup: Taking precaution of not jamming/spraining a finger if he was to catch the football.
That bit of trivia I learned from reading George Plimpton's book: "Paper Lion," as Plimpton, being a writer, got the chance to experience and document the experience of being a pro-football QB walk-on.
As a Redskin fan, I appreciate and miss Staubach now that I'm older. This was a fun game to watch.
I saw this live in 1978 and I have gone back in time today.
Love the 70s Cowboys and Roger Staubach!
i miss seeing games with the 2 back system!
I was only two years old - sleeping in a crib - somewhere in Southern New England when this game was being played. Now that I watch it as an adult, I can't imagine being a fan back then, watching a great quarterback like Steve Grogan putting a ball where it needs to be, and the receivers either not making the catches, or just fumbling the ball so much. I mean, Damn!
Quarterback Steve Grogan owns a sporting good store here in Foxborough, MA. Great store.
Takes me back to being a kid watching the games with the family
In years past this would have been the last game of the season. This was the first year of a 16 game season.
Dave bringing bzck the magic from the old days. Thank you sir.
This was really cool to watch. 10 again.
I remember listening to this game on the radio on a chilly November day as a kid in North Texas.
I remember this game. I was a little kid, I loved this Pats team.
I don`t know how u have all these games from 1978, but that was the year I started following the NFL closely. The season expanded to 16 games, and it was the first season that Receivers could only be bumped in the first 5 yards which really opened up the passing game. Thank you for posting these games.
Yeah about the time I started watching as well. John Jefferson was my first favorite player. Like what the heck am I watching, this crazy elastic man with the goggles making all these crazy one handed catches. Funny thing is he could have used stickem but didn't, it would have gone so well with the uniform. It looked horrible on Lester in the silver and black. Of course Earl and Tony D were some of my other favorites.
Super cool- good to see how much the game has changed (replay Dallas getting the benefit of missed fumble and taking a club to pats QB head personal fouls
This is awesome. Watched the first half and realized…no penalties. Not one flag. Football sure has changed.
Wow that is incredible. Would never happen nowadays.
Those were the best Patriots uniforms and helmets. Go Pats!
Just imagine if people back then got to watch football games in freaking 60fps!!! this is amazing, great video dude!
The commercials have as much nostalgic goodness as the game!
I remember watching this game at Grand Ma's house. Thanks for the memories DV!
Anytime Dick and Merlin were calling the game, you knew it was a big one. Just hearing them again is bringing back a flood of memories.
Fantastic work! Thanks for all the work you put in to reclaim and preserve these games. Whether on the field, behind the camera or in the broadcast booth, these games represent but an iota of the life's work of so many talented individuals. Thanks for allowing us to appreciate their work once again!
Truly grateful.
Such great, classy broadcasters, Enberg and Olsen. They were so easy to listen to. Curt Gowdy as well.
Just finished watching the game. Wow. Thanks so much for posting this and for all the work you did to polish this game into a real gem. Can't wait to watch more of your work. Thanks again!
NBC had a HUGE doubleheader on this day. In the 4:00 PM ET window there was another big game. Pittsburg was playing Houston as well as the Browns and Seahawks in what was a playoff eliminator. In the early window the Dolphins and Redskins was the feature game
I was at this game. It was pretty chilly in the stadium but the action and play from both teams was very hot!
Beautiful footage 📺👀❤️
#12 Captain America...damn I love that team,many memories of my 11yr old self come rushing back,my heroes have always been cowboys.
The hole in Texas Stadium always made for some unique shadow tricks during games. You'd have the offense in the bright sunlight lining up against a defense draped in darkness
Amazing reclamation Dave! Great work.
Looks as good as a live broadcast.
This is video gold. Thank you for this👍
The two most valuable franchises. $$$
Shoutout Steve Grogan!!!
I loved his versatility and demeanor.
Thank you for posting these rare games I watched them when i was younger
Incredible video, almost like watching it live. Love to see the old commercials & see how much things have changed. 😊
"Rodger Staubach was a tough running quarterback out of Navy, he took a lot of hard hits and kept hanging in there"! He was definitely the last of his breed at quarterback in the NFL"!!
Love these enhanced broadcasts. Thank you!!
John Hannah and Randy White. Football doesn’t get any better.
Commercial video quality is crazy good.
Looked like a modern-day era game, heavy blitz packages by NE, Dallas running out of the shotgun. Nice!
I remember watching that game live on TV...I was about 14 at the time...I know I know, I'm old as a dog lol
New England had some really underrated teams back in the 70’s and 80’s. You wonder what if the Steelers, Oilers, Raiders Broncos or Dolphins weren’t in the way.
Yes, for sure. The refs got in the way in '76 in Oakland with that bogus roughing the passer call on a 3rd and 18 late in the 4th qtr which gifted the Raiders that playoff game, and eventually, the Super Bowl. That game bummed me out as a kid back then!....
This looks amazing. I don't believe I watched any of this game back then, so I'll enjoy seeing how badly Dallas beats a good NE team. *** @22:00 Check oout how Dick Enberg doesn't just give you the scores, but gives context to what those scores mean. One of the best broadcasters in history. And teaming with Merlin Olsen, the second best announce team of the 80's, to Summerall and Madden.
The big one on one matchup was Hollywood Henderson vs Russ Francis. Skip Bayless who worked for a Dallas newspaper said Francis would burn Hollywood. It was the other way around. Henderson dominated him. Watch the first play. Hollywood gave Francis a wicked forearm to the face!! Bayless apologized to Hollywood after the game.
I met Dick Endberg once. A great gentleman. Not like some of these overpaid fat cats today.
I met him also. Very genuine. Very nice.
Wow, the digital enhancement makes a huge difference.
Thanks. Dave. Time. Machine indeed
Patriots corners were phenomenal as I recall but then again, I was nine years old.
I loved the Pats unis. I still do think understand why they or Denver felt the need to tinker with such a classic look…. However, given their success with the new logos, I realize they won’t be coming back anytime soon.
Man,70's and 80' football was far and away better than the malaise that is the NFL today.wonder who was the brainiac who changed those Pats uniforms, they were one of the best in the league.
Bill Parcells
1:07:36 the play that made Campbell wear a "flak jacket".
Shell broke several of Earl's ribs on this play.
I believe it was either this play.. or perhaps a QB hit on either Pastorini (Houston QB) or Patriots QB Steve Grogan that actually led to the development of the flak jacket for NFL Players.
Also hit by Shell :D
Hollywood Henderson had a great game.
"Butch Johnson played football at UC RIVERSIDE"!😊
Watched this one when i happened. You see the origins of some things common to today's game. The "shotgun", multiple shifts, etc. John Hannah vs Randy White is a classic strength on strength battle. Two great defenses, etc. Also refreshing to see no challenges constantly slowing down the game, even though NE got burned on the Laidlaw fumble. Sgaubach set a Dallas record with 3,000+ yards in that game. Today, with the defensive backs essentially helpless, not getting 4,000 yards will send a QB off to run a fruit stand in S. Florida. "When it was a game"
I believe that is a young Mike Ditka on the Dallas sideline at 1:27.
Please add more videos that are enhanced!!! I really like them!!!!
Thanks Joseph! I publish each one as soon as I finish it, but it takes about 15 hours roughly to do a game, so not exactly fast. Still I've been on a tear the last couple months and have been getting about 5 or even 6 games out a week. That pace can't last and I'm sure to burn out at some point and take a break (or my electricity costs for PC processing will force my hand :), but I think I've published close to 60 enhanced games now.
Do you have the 1975 AFC Championship game between the Oakland Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers? I saw that game last year and it was really good!!!
@@kaioh187 I do, but unfortunately if I upload it to TH-cam it will be blocked for viewing worldwide by the NFL. That is why no one else has uploaded it either.
Thank you for letting me know.
Someday I wanna have a beer in Dave’s backyard! Keep up the good work Dave!
Amazing quality!
Your page is the first one I check when I get on TH-cam and I'm never disappointed. You working on any more 1970s Chiefs games? Loved the 1975 MNF game at Dallas last week. I know there isn't much good to choose from but I love seeing the games at Arrowhead, even the ones they lost. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks Kurtis :) I have a few more Chief games from the 70's to work on at some point
Went to this game.
Very cool
A big thank you, the NFL started broadcasting in1982, so its see good games before that time. Fascinating to see players who are Hall Of Famers or became coaches or pundits.
You're welcome! Not sure what you mean though about 1982? The very first NFL broadcast was in 1939 :)
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 I live in the UK
Ah ok. You meant broadcast in your neck of the woods :)
The $599 computer advertised at 39:02 would cost over $2700 in 2023 money.
I remember when I saw this game, I couldn't take my eyes off the 2 Hall of Famers Randy White and John Hannah fighting for supremacy. 😅
That damn turf, absolutely no give (like playing on concrete)
I was at this game and spent $60 for a ticket on the 40 yard line, which my HS classmates teased me for paying.
Man, the commercials are awesome!
Patriot backup Matt Cavanaugh was the first to congratulate Tony Dorsett after he broke the Cowboys single season record. Pitt teammates.
Enberg and. Olson. Nbc had. The best duo they ever hired
Dallas high school football different, I felt like I knew what he was talking about at halftime when he mentioned Permian and Dallas Carter
At 14:30 Ed Too Tall blocked the fg and I was like oh good Leon Lett wasn't even born yet😅
thank u
Both Enberg and Olsen misidentified Laidlaw for Dorsett on the flee-flicker. Couldn't even get it right on the slow motion replay.
Really enjoy the Patriot helmets and. Uniforms
Steve Grogan...from Ottawa Kansas!
looks amazing!
Thanks man! Good to hear from you :)
LOL listening to the announcer's go on about Chuck Fairbanks. The Patriots had a very good team. The week before their divisional playoff game against Houston. Fairbanks announced he was leaving to go coach Colorado University where he later failed. Ownership stupidly let Fairbanks coach the playoff game and the Oilers blew out the Patriots ruining a good team.
I had forgotten how much I despise Briant Gumbel.
Same.
The snootiness of Gumbel's persona got worse when he became the main anchor for NBC's Today Show; with his condescending _I'm a serious journalist_ smug attitude.
I have no idea why one would take Ed “Too Tall” Jones’ comment about liking to play in the “big games” as meaning he didn’t go all out in other games. (Last time I checked adrenaline was a thing and “upping” your game when it counts most is not supposed to be a flaw.
Also, the number of interceptions and batted balls his 6’9 frame caused was unreal, and anyone who had to play against him every year would be happy to tell you how good he was during his fine 16 year career even if he was noted voted All Pro or to the Pro Ball as often as he probably should have been.
Dallas got the benefit of a couple blown calls late in the game, but if the Patriots had made their FGs in the first half, the calls wouldn't have mattered.
I was 12 years old at the time, and watched these games quite frequently. I guess we were just conditioned to remember the down and the score and guess how much time remained on the clock. It's stunning as well just how infrequently the score/down or either shown or announced. And as much as people praise Roon Arledge and the other great pioneers of televised sports, their achievements remained flawed in as much as they completely overlooked these aspects of the game. It's hard to believe that it took over two decades of televised football (and even longer with baseball) before someone -- David Hill, an Australian soccer and rugby producer hired by Fox Sports -- to make these adjustments in the early 90s.
I wonder how much was a deliberate delaying of that technology. if you didnt know the score or time...chances are you will linger watching the game until it gets mentioned. And who knows by then maybe you decide to keep watching...the mystery of not immediately knowing reeled viewers in
@@timburr4453You are definitely correct. A person would stay tuned in to catch the score
My favorite era of football, this is what I watched growing up. On a different note, what is up with the "T" on Staubach's nameplate? It's almost as tall as Ed Jones lol. Great game, so many awesome players! Thanks for posting.
That sure is a very large T. That's just odd.
Anyone notice one of the offensive coaches for Dallas? None other than future former Chicago Bears H.C. Mike Ditka.
Try watching only 73 John Hannah LG for every Patriot offensive play. He is devastating.
I love the commercials. I have all Paydirt charts from 1978. I played this game. Dallas 24 Patriots 13.
