I grew up in Ohio and remember this team well. I was ten that year and had started following college and pro football a couple of years before but had not landed on a specific NFL team to follow. The hype surrounding the Bengals improbable winning streak in '70 got my attention and that became my team through good and not so good seasons over the next decade. The kids in my Central Ohio neighborhood were about evenly divided between Browns and Bengals fans, with some fair weather bandwagon jumpers mixed in for the Colts, Jets, Cowboys, '72 Dolphins, or whatever the flavor of the week was, plus a few Green Bay die-hards left over from their glory days.
the opening shot of the scoreboard (and I think maybe some of the crowd shots) were used on the episode of the Odd Couple When Howard Cossell was a guest...
@@leroygilbert7417 No he was not as I said before Cook was the Jeff George of his era he could throw the ball in any manner he wished Montana was a updated version of Virgil Carter.Carter and Montana both lacked the obvious size and strength of Cook.
1:50 This was Sam Wyche's longest run of his career. Loved him as coach of this team. Just wish he could've been they guy to lead them to that first Lombardi. So sad that he's gone now.
With Greg Cook at QB, that playoff game vs Baltimore would've been winnable. They would then have gotten the Raiders at home again, and then faced the Craig Morton-led -Keystone- Dallas Cowboys in another eminently winnable game with Greg Cook under center. Oh well. C'est la vie.
With the uniforms the Bengals chose initially, when they played the Browns unless you looked up close and saw the "Bengals" on the side of the helmets you'd think it was an intrasquad scrimmage. I know, Paul Brown did it to tick off Art Modell, but at one point Brown was looking at some helmets including one with tiger-like striping which would eventually be adopted in 1981. That would have been something back then.
+@@classicsports5057 I count 9 Superbowl victories there. +2 more for San Francisco after Bill Walsh retired. None for Cincinnati. Much like Eugene Klein of the Chargers. An ungrateful cheapskate.
He was clearly wrong, but out of respect for what he did for the game, I'd never call him a fool. Disrespectful to his legacy to summarize it with that one mistake.
Sam Wyche should be proud. It's not every man who can claim that they were a failure not only as an NFL QB, but also as an NFL head coach. Too bad he never became the Bengals owner, so he could have failed at that too.

Great seeing Essex Johnson again
I love the 1970 Bengals team now after watching the video. WHO DEY! WHO DEY! WHO DEY think gonna beat them Bengals NOBODY!!!!!!!!!😊
As a 49ers fan growing up in the 80s, the 70s Bengals always fascinated me. I wish they were covered more.

The year I fell in love with the NFL.
Vaya recuerdos. Equipos como esos Bengals cimentaron la NFL q hoy conocemos. Gracias desde México
Bill Walsh said Cook would have been a superstar had he remained healthy...
He was to be the Joe Montana before Joe Montana arrived in the NFL.
Could’ve won 4 SB’s instead of Bradshaw by the time the decade was out but we’ll never really know of that!!
Cook was the Jeff George of his era in the NFL.

The first ever division title fot the bengals

Greg Cook - what could've been. Frustrating.
Would he really have been better than Ken Andersen all those years? Lol.
@@russellguercio3904 Yup
WHO DEY!
Greg Cook was Joe Burrow 1.0.
Bengals look better in their AFL jerseys, especially the black ones..
The Bengals should keep their current helmet and use the original black jersey. That would look sharp
@@chrisbacos I like the jerseys from the sixties, but without the “Bengals “ on the side they would look strange….
Paul Brown. The fool who let Bill Walsh go.
After 8 years? You can't assistants forever. 2 of his former players were Don Shula and Chuck Noll he was dumb to let them go too I guess?

I like the Bengals helement without the stripes
So was Al Davis

IF NOT FOR A DROPPED INT IN THE END ZONE THAT "FAILURE" WOULD'VE BEEN A SB WINNING "FAILURE" OVER HIS MENTOR BILL WALSH.
I never liked the Bengals.
And how are things over in Cleveland
I like the Bengals helement without the stripes
@@ciesaro THE REAL CLEVELAND BROWNS RESIDE IN BALTIMORE!!
