Success over likeability, that's the motto for the New England Patriots dark blue and silver. Sometimes you have to lose a piece of your soul to win championships.
What a crazy run the '85 Pats had, especially when they upset the dolphins in the AFC title game. Then they were brought back down to earth by the great '85 bears. Even made "the super bowl shuffle" a few months prior to actually winning the super bowl lol
1986 is the year that 3 Boston teams made it to the championship games patriots, celtics and red sox. Celtics are the only Boston team that won while the pats and red sox got beat
Boston Red Sox probably should've won the WS that year, in retrospect all things considered. Most Red Sox fans have told me this from a practical, honest perspective analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both Mets and Red Sox squads in 1986. 1986 was not some fluke year either, mind up you, that squad of Evans, Jim Rice, Wade Boggs, young Roger Clemens, Dave Henderson would make two more ALCS appearances over the next 4 seasons-in 1988 and 1990. 1986 is a season where Red Sox really led a golden opportunity get away from them, for a long time Red Sox were very similar to the Celtics in that they made playoffs consistently and could draft, develop great players but lacked that killer instinct Celtics had to finish off opponents. Long before New Orleans got another NBA team in the Hornets and now the Pelicans, the Celtics were my favorite NBA team because they personified winning at it's best, most organized sort of way.
@@TalkMyShiit Rule was Created in 1999 and went against the Pats in A Regular season game vs the Jets... Even after That was called the Raiders still could've won the game and they didn't... So where's the Lie on that ? Oakland still went to the superbowl the year after just to get slaughtered by Tampa
Fun fact. At 5:15, you see a patriots running back named Mosi Tatupu make a big run. Tatupu is the father of Lofa Tatupu who was a star linebacker for the Seahawks from 2005 to 2010.
Dion R “What got New England to the Super Bowl, we didn’t see that day at the SB” - Mike Singletary ... pure Luck is how they beat two fairly superior teams. (LA, Miami)
G0Chiefs we can say they most likely would have. You never know. I don't think anyone saw Eli and the Giants making it to the Super Bowl and beating the patriots the first time. Anything can happen 🤷🏼♂️
@@terrancethomas9792 indeed. My guess is that he was so used disposable, interchangeable running backs breaking down after short bursts of success, he expected Allen to inevitably follow suit. 10 years later, he was still waiting.
This was a huge win for the Patriots, the Raiders had tortured them in the years before this, including stealing Jim Plunkett from NE and winning a Super Bowl with him in LA. The black hole was at the time the most intimidating road game in the league at the time (think of raiders fans now, except that the team is really good and has won a bunch of Super Bowls and moved to LA). And then the Pats had maybe an even bigger upset the next week as they beat Dan Marino and Miami (the only team to beat the 85 Bears) to deny America a potential classic Super Bowl matchup. Instead the Pats got a token super bowl appearance and the bears got to drag them around (literally - see the vid of Craig James’ fumble) the field for 3 hours and make everyone immediately declare them the greatest defense ever.
Not really. The Coliseum in the mid 80's was actually quite tame compared to how it would get in the late 80's and 90's when the Raiders became the colors of choice for a lot of gang beyond the obvious bloods and crips. But yeah, we really missed a show with Marino on a fast track getting a chance to prove that Week 13 Monday Night game wasn't a fluke. I think Chicago still wins, but it's much much much more entertaining.
It was a huge win indeed for the Patriots and they had an amazing team that season, Craig James was an outstanding RB. Unfortunately they had to face one of the greatest defense ever, the Chicago Bears in the Title game.
My mom and her family are from Southern Massachusetts. They're all diehard Boston/NE fans (Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, Boston College). I remember my uncle telling me how great this 85 season was for fans of a team that had floundered for most of it's history. This win was cathartic for them, the win in the AFC Championship was even more so because it was against the Dolphins. He also told me how crushing the clobbering in the Super Bowl they got from the Bears was.
The packers played in Milwaukee for like 3 home games a year from the early 60’s to 1994. Green Bay wouldn’t let go, and that’s the only reason they’re not known as the Milwaukee packers.
These Pats uniforms with the red pants are fab, I prefer the Brady era ones overall but they should update these in a few years as they won't be able to do it now that they just released some new uniforms recently.
Nfl should let the Patriots wear these throwbacks for the 100th season. I know they have the helmet rule but will 1 or 2 games a year with a different helmet really make a difference?
@@rayrice1945 I believe the helmet rule is a safety thing. The idea is if you wear one helmet all season it will form to your head and make you less likely to get a concussion. I'm skeptical that it does anything in that department
Raiders really pissed away a great season here. So careless in this game. Would have set up a great game with Miami and either of those teams playing Chicago would have been epic. Patriots were weak.
Craig James only had one huge year in the NFL, but he looked really smooth as a runner. Really knew how to cutback well. Feel like he'd be able to translate to today's NFL nicely.
crazy when you think how many times the Raiders turned the ball over and it was still just a 1 possession game right till the end. basically tells me if they were better holding on to the ball, they most probably come away with the W
I'm sorry but those old pats unis make them look like a college team lol ... and the bears certainly made them look like one too in the super bowl hahahaha
The thing was the Patriots capitalized on turnovers as you saw in the playoff run. When the Patriots couldn't do that against the Bears which only led to 3 point by Payton's fumble, they were dead in the water.
@@djeanpierre they tried passing and it almost worked on the first drive. Two drop passes after the turnover and then the Bears just manhandled that Patriot line. The Pats had their one shot on the first drive and they blew it.
My raiders never had any real chance thru those Marc Wilson years. I'm sure he's a good guy, not trying to defame him, but he just never looked like he wanted to be out there. Pats fans got a small taste of him a few years later. Edit: their 382 fumbles in this game didn't help either.
Now THIS game was fun to watch. Looks like somebody dipped the football in French fry oil for most of the game. It's adorable! Also, nice to see a Patriots-Raiders playoff game that's not the Tuck Rule.
Or a god awful roughing the passer call on Sugar Bear,oh yes there was controversial Raiders Patriots play off games before the tuck rule game (only the tuck rule was a legal play call by the referee as appose to 1976)
The game that ended the Raiders 22 year dynasty. For a franchise that prides itself on being historically great, their real run was from 1963 to 1985. This loss, my first playoff game watching my team, would come to symbolize what I as a 39 year old would actually see in the Raiders in my 33 years and counting as a fan...lots of missed opportunities, self inflicted wounds, and disappointment. And FUCK Marc Wilson.
Really 1967 is when their dynasty first began.....their first AFL/AFC Championship. If Madden would've started Ken Stabler earlier in his career instead of sticking with Lamonica for so long they wouldve won a Super Bowl before the 76 season. Lamonica always choked in the biggest games. George Blanda was awesome but he was so old by the early 70's that Stabler should've been at least 2nd string then. They drafted Stabler in 68 but he sat for 5 years before he got his chance
Healthy & available, 2 time Super Bowl champ & former Patriot Jim Plunkett stood on the sidelines. Flores went with conventional wisdom which was suicide.
The Pats really ruined it for football fans. A Raiders or dolphins Super Bowl matchup versus the Bears would’ve been fun to watch. Pats knocked them both off.
1985 saw the magic Johnson led los Angeles Lakers avenge last year's NBA world Championship series verses the defeanding champion Boston Celtics with Larry Bird dealing with an injured elbow in the much anticipated rematch
Watching this because I wanted to see what got the '85 Patriots to Super Bowl 20. Like one of the Bears said that year, "whatever got the Patriots to the Superbowl we didn't see it that day." Hard to believe this was the same team that took a pounding by the Bears.
Mike Singletary said that. What got the Pats to the Super Bowl was turnovers and strong running game. Against the Bears the Pats got an early turnover but couldn't run and therefore they were dead.
I think the raiders might have made it to the super bowl had it not been the patriots they played. For some reason the Raiders had issues with the patriots, like the 76 patriots being the only team to beat them.
Arguably the best Patriots team before the belicheck era...three straight road wins shut down Ken Obrien and Dan Marino offense and amazing how many turnovers the cause in those three wins and few points they allowed
King David money. It’s the same reason the chargers don’t switch to powder blue full time. They can sell 4 jerseys over there for lots of money. If they switch to powder blue full time no one would buy the navy, and they would theoretically make less money.
Because the following 8 years saw this team become literal trash 'cause they went through 3 ownership groups with only 1 group (Kraft) caring/fielding a competent team. By the time Kraft took over, he immediately forced a uni change solely because the team was that bad.
1984-‘86 Raiders - best possible result if your team has the league’s worst quarterback being forced to start. Nobody - that bad - accomplished more than the mid-‘80s Raiders. It’s not even close.
Jim Plunkett was mostly injured the last four years of his career. He missed all of 1987 and then retired. He only had four winning seasons, a .500 W-L record. And he more INTs than TDs, but when he was good, he was great. Haha!
I'm a massive Pats fan. It's a shame we got humiliated by the bears in the 85 SB. That was supposed to be Marino's year to win. They would have beat the Bears that year. Marino never could win the big games.
The most ineffective combination of Raiders WRs (dokie Williams and Jessie Hester) in their history catching passes from one of the most inept QBs (Marc Wilson). Wilson had all the tools, but is confidence was shaken at some point in his career. Then again, Al Davis loved the deep ball, but was NEVER a good evaluator of quarterbacks. Lamonica, Blanda, Gannon, Plunkett, and Jason Campbell were all reclamation projects that thrived after being backups on the roster. Stabler, Al's only good draft pick at QB, was assigned to the Taxi-squad for three seasons before becoming third string and eventually the starter. Al's draft history at this position has been horrible: Larry Lawrence, David Humm, Mike Rae, Rusty Hilger, Bill Joe Hobert, Marques Tuiasosopo, JaMarcus, Andrew Walter, Marc Wilson.Terrelle Pryor, Steve Beurelien, Donald Hollas, Matt McGloin. And the free agent pick-ups... nothing but a constant quest for the next Darryl Lamonica: Duante Culpepper, Jay Schroeder, Jeff George, Kerry Collins, Rick Mirer, Aaron Brooks, Jeff Hostetler, Josh McCown, Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Bowler, a broken Carson Palmer, Wade Wilson, Exemption given to Tom Flores, Todd Marinovich, Vince Evans. And Dan Pastorini, who if not for a broken leg in Game 4 and later a car accident the night before the AFC Wild Card game, would be the Raiders starting QB and Plunkett never leads this team to the Super Bowl in 1980, and perhaps 1983. Al didn't believe in Plunkett could lead the team until the 1980 SB. Marc Wilson's 3 INTs in this game were par for the course.
😆, I get a big kick on these 'Southies' (NE fans) with their comments and comparisons. I guess they want another Patrick Sullivan son want another 'Bitch Slap' again. You guys overwatched 'The Departed' waaaaay to many times. R-A-I-D-E-R-S!❤ You guys are back to your Grogan era days again on this 2023 season.
What an embarrassing loss. Sloppy special teams cost them 14 points and the win. No doubt who was the better team that day. Can’t make those mistakes in the playoffs.
Would love if New England went back to these uniforms. Was so disappointed with their new uniforms this past year.

This game did not matter, nobody was going to beat the Bears.
I'm a massive Pats fan. It's a shame we got humiliated by the bears in the 85 SB. That was supposed to be Marino's year to win. They would have beat the Bears that year. Marino never could win the big games.
Raiders thought Patriots was a easy win pushover
I think this is the last time the patriots played in los Angeles
the patriots are coming to los angeles this season for 2 games. against the chargers and the rams in the sofi stadium!
@@1990Thunderbolt yep i think the last time the patriots played in la was in like the 90s

Walker & Wilson killed the Raiders that day
Los Angeles Raiders was member AFC West Division 1970 through 1993 and New England Patriots was member AFC East Division 1970 through 1993 era
And they are still in those same divisions respectively today
Tyler Larsen New England Patriots became worst team of the early 90s 14 wins and 50 loss from 1990 to 1993 era
1970 -2001 era
Every team has to suck before they become good. The year before Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe the team went 2-14

Turnovers
The most ineffective combination of Raiders WRs (dokie Williams and Jessie Hester) in their history catching passes from one of the most inept QBs (Marc Wilson). Wilson had all the tools, but is confidence was shaken at some point in his career. Then again, Al Davis loved the deep ball, but was NEVER a good evaluator of quarterbacks. Lamonica, Blanda, Gannon, Plunkett, and Jason Campbell were all reclamation projects that thrived after being backups on the roster. Stabler, Al's only good draft pick at QB, was assigned to the Taxi-squad for three seasons before becoming third string and eventually the starter. Al's draft history at this position has been horrible: Larry Lawrence, David Humm, Mike Rae, Rusty Hilger, Bill Joe Hobert, Marques Tuiasosopo, JaMarcus, Andrew Walter, Marc Wilson.Terrelle Pryor, Steve Beurelien, Donald Hollas, Matt McGloin. And the free agent pick-ups... nothing but a constant quest for the next Darryl Lamonica: Duante Culpepper, Jay Schroeder, Jeff George, Kerry Collins, Rick Mirer, Aaron Brooks, Jeff Hostetler, Josh McCown, Bruce Gradkowski, Kyle Bowler, a broken Carson Palmer, Wade Wilson,
Exemption given to Tom Flores, Todd Marinovich, Vince Evans. And Dan Pastorini, who if not for a broken leg in Game 4 and later a car accident the night before the AFC Wild Card game, would be the Raiders starting QB and Plunkett never leads this team to the Super Bowl in 1980, and perhaps 1983. Al didn't believe in Plunkett could lead the team until the 1980 SB. Marc Wilson's 3 INTs in this game were par for the course.
Hopefully we get Los Angeles vs. Boston/New England in the Super Bowl! (with a different result than their first meeting)
I'd rather Brady win his sixth over Kroenke winning at all
Then Lakers vs Celtics rivalry is coming back
Boston still own Los Angeles whether is Baseball, Basketball or Football! Nothing has changed!

The 85 pats did not CHEAT,they had a good team ,they were unlucky they met the bears in sb xx
😆, I get a big kick on these 'Southies' (NE fans) with their comments and comparisons. I guess they want another Patrick Sullivan son want another 'Bitch Slap' again. You guys overwatched 'The Departed' waaaaay to many times. R-A-I-D-E-R-S!❤
You guys are back to your Grogan era days again on this 2023 season.
Marc Wilson...
Bum
Raiders gifted that one. Yikes 😬
Priest Homes highlights?
What an embarrassing loss. Sloppy special teams cost them 14 points and the win. No doubt who was the better team that day. Can’t make those mistakes in the playoffs.
