Back then I was a Chargers fan because I'd lived in San Diego for a few years before moving to Idaho. Once there I remained a Chargers fan for the next two years, and then in 1983 came: *Chuck Knox,* who when I grew up in LA was HC of the Rams, and he built some juggernaut teams back then. Went to Buffalo for a couple years and then the Seahawks got him, and at that moment I became a Seahawks fan for life. I'd always had some affinity for the Seahawks, for no other reason than they were home-based in an area of the country I'd always wanted to live in; AND they had Steve Largent. I finally got my chance to live in WA just three years after Knox arrived in Seattle and I've lived here ever since. So I'm now a lifelong Seahawks fan, through thick and thin -- and I'd seen a lot of thin in the 90s.
I remember seeing this game back then! It was a thrilling comeback by our Seahawks! Dave Trout’s field goal was just like what Blair Walsh of the Vikings did against us in the playoffs nearly six years ago. Wide left and not even close!
Awesome. My son was 5 months old on this date, my wife and I had been married 3 years by then. Chances are I didn't see this game, because we lived in Idaho Falls at the time and the only regional games we got on local TV was the Denver Broncos; they were considered the regional team for our area.
You want to know something wild? When Michael Dickson got that punt blocked, it became a live football, because a Ram player touched it. So, when Dickson got the ball again and kicked it, #28 for Seattle picked it up, and the referee called it down right there. #28 should have picked up the ball and walked into the end zone for a Seahawk touchdown. That was a live ball, but nobody (except me) realized it...not referees, coaches, players, announcers, fans, nobody. That is the biggest sports blunder I have ever seen, and nobody is talking about it. But, thanks for this upload, I look forward to watching it...GO HAWKS!!!💚💙
Given it was a few days after Trenton Cannon cost the Niners a touchback against the Hawks (and Cody Barton would do the same against the Steelers) it probably was a good idea not to chance it. Besides, Tre Flowers' (in his thankfully last Hawk appearance) dumb ass probably would have tackled Amadi or tripped him anyway
What an awesome video. Little condensed seahawk games early days!! I love the old games n memories. Great idea I wish every team had a fan doing this stuff 1970-80s. Subscribe for sure👍
Actually, I think I remember that mustache, that was his career highlight, for sure. Even cops asked for his autograph...not because he played football, but because of that awesome stash!💥
I don't get it; I'm cheering like this game was being played right now! lol Being able to see so many of my childhood heroes play so early in the franchise's existence is so gratifying. Christ, I love TH-cam. #GoHawks
Back then there were no coach's challenges; they had replay but the officials couldn't use them. It was the call on the field and if they missed the call, they missed the call.
This was part of an NBC doubleheader Sunday: CIN @ SD-Enberg/Olsen KC @ DEN-Criqui/Brodie BAL @ NYJ-Costas/Trumpy (the infamous Richard Todd/NY Post "argument" game where the two argued whether the NY Post truly had done a hatchet job on Richard Todd for nearly the whole 3rd quarter-virtually ignoring the action on the field) PIT @ SEA-Jay Randolph/Rocky Bleier PIT @ SEA was probably the least seen of NBC's games that day (don't have NBC's 1 ET slate in front of me) with the game only guaranteed to be shown in the PNW/Western PA/WV
@@troyturner173 For the 1981 season NBC had four regular announce teams Enberg/Olsen Don Criqui/John Brodie Charlie Jones/Len Dawson Bob Costas/Bob Trumpy For the other games, NBC used Jay Randolph, Phil Stone, Marv Albert, Mike Adamle, Merle Harmon, and Sam Nover as play by play announcers. Other game analysts were Gene Washington, Jim Turner, Mike Haffner, Rocky Bleier, Dave Rowe, and George Kunz, and Harmon Wages.
@@harrymann5523 Very well aware that once NBC got past the top 4 crews back then, the rest were interchangeable. I only pointed out the other crews because that particular Sunday was especially quirky on NBC
The Steelers were up 21-3 in the 2nd , unbelievable how they lost . Big missed kicks is the reason why Gary Anderson the kicker was picked up the next year .
Thanks for the game man! There's something about these old Seahawks teams, they should have been so much better. Franco Harris gettin 10,000 that was nice to see. Great game. Seattle always seemed to have something cookin, fake punt I like stuff like that.
F that game. Steelers were up 21-3 and lost 24-21. Then with a chance for OT the K missed a chip shot FG. To add insult to injury the Steelers plane got fogged in so some went to a country western bar where one of the players broke his hand punching a mechanical bull. Bad bad day. Steelers age was really showing this season. Ham, Greene, Greenwood would retire after this season. However as weak as this team was if they had not blown late leads to KC and Seattle, they would have made the playoffs as a wild card.
Yes that was another thriller decided by a missed field goal, and also statistically Steve Largent's greatest non-strike game, I will definitely be covering that one in the future!
As much as I know you're joking here, Michael often played all 3 LB positions at some point in a game depending on the formation and package. This was because they didn't have much at LB until 1982.
@@CorePositionTrading Biggest reason why replay is such an integral part of the game now. Back then there WERE no replay officials; the NFL couldn't use what the networks were taping. Replay didn't play a part in games until after Super Bowl 40 and the phantom TD by Roethlisberger and the phantom holding call on Seattle. Mike Holmgren was on the competition committee for the next season and saw to it that there was a system in place to challenge calls on the field using replay, precisely _because_ of the jacked-up officiating in SB40. Ironic that the Steelers were involved in that debacle as well.
@@briane173 your sure right ... I think where instant reply became a real talking point was another Steelers game ... i think it was the 1978 or 1979 AFC Championship game with Houston and Renfro's catch in the back of the end zone being called back yet clearly he catch it ... changed the entire momentum of that game. Houston lost and to be honest they werent as good but hey, ANYTHING could have happened had they gone into half time with the lead vs not

This loss pretty much ended the Steelers playoff hopes
I’m not quite sure Franco made it in on that first TD. The block in the back on the Michael Jackson INT was bogus too.
He wasn't in. Terrible call. Or, intentional bad call to help Pittsburgh make the playoffs.
Back then there were no coach's challenges; they had replay but the officials couldn't use them. It was the call on the field and if they missed the call, they missed the call.
Is that Rocky Bleier doing color commentary?
Yes
Back when players had class
5:04 There's a one-handed catch with no glove.
These days, this would be an AFC at NFC broadcast on CBS (being that Seattle is in the NFC now), or possibly cross-flexed to FOX.

And that was his last one lol. Steelers brought in some guy named Gary Anderson lol

Those Jack Patera years were exciting for me. I used to love all the trick/unexpected plays!
Poor Seahawks were so weak this year. Dan Doornick kinda reminded me of Rocky Blier.
Rookie Kenny Easley almost made it worth it though
What's crazy is that Franco isn't even in the top 25 any more. Jim Brown is 11th and OJ is 21st. The 25th position is Jamal Lewis with 10,607.
Franco rushed for over 12,000 yards in his career.
