I took the segment and ran it through Topaz Video AI to enhance and clean it, as well as double the framerate. I then achieved some VERY nice color and contrast restoration using Da Vinci Resolve.

Whoever; you are, this is amazing work. I've been told that Dave doesn't do this anymore, so thank you for doing such amazing work.
Thanks Adam! I don't know who told you I was no longer doing NFL stuff, but they were wrong. The NFL had me shut down my main channel in May 2020, but I've had this secondary channel up and running for the last 2 1/2 years.
U have the full game
@@barnettdenis7482 No, this 24-minute excerpt is all that Tim recorded way back when
Beautiful quality, who cares if it's only 24 minutes
I mean. Why can't we wish for more minutes?
Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen were an underrated announcing duo - knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
Loved both of them, esp when they did the Rose Bowl.
Is it me, or does oldschool television look better than modern.
So nice to watch players that are not out there self grandizing.
AMEN
That late afternoon Orange Bowl sun was magical.
As a life long dolphin fan I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart! NFL football from the 70's are a pleasure to watch! I just simply love it. Let me also mention that the picture quality makes it all the better. Continue the great work. You have a friend for life! Once again THANK YOU!!!
You're very welcome. I just wish I had more of the game!
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Can't you use AI to recreate the missing game footage? Yes, you must be able to do this nowadays. I'm sure of it.
@@GregoryTheGr8ster I wish :) Though if that were possible I'd probably get to work on the Ice Bowl broadcast first.
This was the first NFL game I ever went to. I was 9 years old.
two great teams
As I watch these old videos , it appears to me that Bob Griese had a strong arm, his passes had some zip on them
@@russelljohnson7067 People who didn’t see Greise play assume him just along for the ride on those great teams. But the fact is he was a top 5 QB in NFL for the entire 1970s.
This is the game that not only eliminated the Raiders from the playoffs but John Madden said he knew he was done as a coach. When Gerald Small intercepted Stabler for the last score, Madden was on the sidelines clutching his stomach from ulcers. He told Al Davis after the next week's game, a Raider win at home against Minnesota, that he was done. Davis said to give it a month. A month later Madden said, "Al, I'm sure."
Interesting. And this is Plunketts first year w raiders, madden probably had something to do with that and is to be thanked as the former Heisman winner gets two rings in his golden years
Many on the Raiders were feeling their age at this point. Stabler had taken such a beating over the years. A year later in '79 he was getting sacked every 4th play it seemed. I remember when you had to patiently wait to come home from school and read the sports section of the paper to find out if what was rumored for weeks had finally come true. (On any sports rumor or prediction).
Stabler dealing with personal issues here. Seems evident he had off the field stuff weighing on him.
His knees and back not right. Not moving with ease like he did year prior.
One of the all-time great broadcasting tandems...Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson.
Omg! The quality of this is top notch! Better than a lot of 80’s games on YT. Great job Mr Mccartney for this!!!!!
Game was blacked out in Miami, listened on WIOD radio. Thanks!
I was a huge Raiders fan as a kid in the 70's. Back then living in the West, we didn't get this game.
Yes WIOD the wonderful Isle of dreams. I remember Hank Goldberg doing the games years ago.
It was fun while it lasted! Beautiful color and sharpness for a 1978 video tape recording.
There's just something magical with color videotape of the 1970s.
This restoration quality is just amazing. This takes me back to awesome memories. Thank you for taking the time on this one. Just fantastic.
Great upload, have wondered for years of this game was available. This was the last stand for Madden’s raiders. They melted down the stretch in 78, this was the nail in the coffin and eliminated them from the playoffs, Madden retired a month later and the rest is history.
😢
Madden went on to become the best color commentator in NFL history, Tom Flores took the Raiders to 2 more Super Bowl titles, Miami went to 2 more Super Bowls including Marino's only Super Bowl but lost both.
What a picture. I was in 5 th grade and picture quality was garbage back then. Especially Nbc. Cbs was a little clearer but with little else to go off we just enjoyed what we had.
2 of the best teams of the 1970s.
Great color thanks totally like 70s and 80s football better than today they really tackled😊
Looks better than the original broadcast for me. We didn't get a color television until 1982, and I had to watch whatever my 6 older siblings, mom, and dad watched until '88! Raider Nation thanks you.
Outstanding quality. I was just 8 years old when this game was played locally in Miami, yet not televised because the sellout occurred too close to kickoff. Plus, it was my older sister's 10th birthday. I remember the stats. Larry Gordon had three picks and blocked the only Oakland extra-point attempt, and Gerald Small had two more interceptions. However, this is the only televised segment of the game I've ever seen. Please notify us if you ever gain access to the rest of the game-a 23-6 Miami stomping of the Raiders!
This video program and your expertise is working magic with these telecasts.
Yep Dan, blows me away practically every time! :)
The last rodeo between these two teams as part of their white hot 70s rivalry
They played again less than a year from this date on Monday Night Football 10/8/79. Griese vs. Stabler in Oakland. Raiders won, 13-3. I greatly prefer THIS game from the Orange Bowl...it had been 5 years since the Dolphins had beaten the Raiders.
There was no rivalry with these two in the 70s
This is great ! It’s also nice to hear two announcers that are focused on the game and not bloviating statistics and trivial bs like Troy ache-man. It’s a nice break from the never ending graphics and constant sideline bimbo reports that we’re bombarded with today which also equates to much less instant replays.
I wish Sea of Hands playoff game was available. A real classic.
They instant replay constantly now. And you're into them not even showing a play clock graphic back then? No down and yardage to go? How about somewhere in between then and now? But no, you guys in love with the past can only fully love it.
Good lord this is CLEAR!!! I could watch these 70's Raider games all day long... And the Plymouth Duster commercial at 22:54 !!! hahahahahaha!!! Thank you buddy!!!
I watched this game when I was a eleven years old. That year the Raiders were defending Super Bowl champion. They had a great team.
Raiders won it in 1976 over the Vikings. Dallas won it in 1977 over the Broncos. The NFL in the 70's were great!
Thanks for that blast from the past. I was one year old but it was nostalgic nonetheless.
I remember watching this game on a b&w TV ! This is really good video quality
The quality is amazing for 45 year old tv footage. I don't think the picture was this clear on our televisions in the original live broadcast.
Absolutely gorgeous
Fantastic quality!
I love this legendary footage! Thank you.😊
Quality is amazing!
So many legends, as we saw them back then.
You’ll notice how NBC flips the graphics on the screen (similar to what you can do on screens in Power Point presentations). This was an early attempt by NBC to treat on-screen graphics in this manner.
This is incredible. I'm used to watching these 70s videos like they're underwater. How on earth did you do this? Why is the NFL looking to shut this down, it's awesome.
Thanks Tom :) I use two pieces of software, one to clean up the picture, the other to bring out the contrast and color. The original recording clip was in VERY nice shape, so that helped immensely.
Classic orange bowl 😅
oh god the first two plays.... today I am not sure that first play is a catch and I am not sure that second play is a fumble. Like madden said... as soon as something happens this era, you try to prove it wrong. thanks for giving us 24 minutes of this
Thanks for posting great quality
Thank you for doing this!
It looks great. Thanks Dave!
This season was the end for Madden and the beginning of the end for Stabler who lasted one more year and then was traded to Houston in 1980.
hey there was Jim Plunkett on the sideline
Long live the 👻87
Beautiful job!
The video quality is incredible. Do you have any games from 1984 Miami Dolphins? How about the afc championship vs Steelers? It was a day game. It would look great.
I'm mostly interested in pre-1980 upgrades, so I don't currently have any games from 1984, but never say never. I do have more Dolphin games from the 70's in my queue, in fact I'm working on one right now which I should be posting in the next 24 hours.
1984 1982 dolphins…sooo close to 70s😊
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673late 70’s -mid 80’s my fav dolphins period! Thank you!!!!!
This is amazing : I have several hundred games from the 70’s on dvd - you are doing fantastic work
Thanks for posting
oh the days when there was a halfback and a fullback and either might run
As a die hard Raider fan since 1975....this is painful to watch in 2023
Too bad I missed the NBC Disney World Christmas Special with Phyllis Diller & Pablo Cruise😂
1:31 I swear that looks like a young Jimmy Buffett next to Jim Plunkett on the sideline in the blue shirt and sunglasses
For what it's worth at 12:20, Cefalo's catch was a first down given forward progress of the ball. Perhaps the rules were different 45 years ago, however these days you get forward progress and would be a first down.
🛵 His backward progress was voluntary, he wasn't touched. So no first down, no matter which century.
The Raiders were uniformly predicted to make it to the Super Bowl in the 1978 season but it was an awful year.
A loss at home to the Chargers in a somewhat controversial fashion (Yet the Raiders won a game in San Diego in week 2 that was mind boggling and stunning).
Swept by the Broncos.
Swept by the Seahawks, a third-year franchise at that time (would also get swept by the Seahawks in 1979).
3-5 in a division that season where in years past they owned.
John Madden's final season as head coach.
Beat the Broncos and the Seahawks at least one each and they're in the playoffs.
Many well known names on the Raiders played their final season like Willie Brown, Biletnikoff, Banazak, Sistrunk.
Yes, they underperformed and Madden quit after the season. His ulcers were killing him.
Dave, could you please post an enhanced video version of the 1979 raiders vs Oilers (game where Tatum blasts Campbell at goalline)?
Thanks,
BZ
I don't have a copy of that game. I'm not sure a copy is out there to be honest?
Dave, Do you have any more footage of the 78' Dolphins vs Raider game? I have been looking for that game as well. Awesome footage? By the way, i see you are taping from a Pittsburgh station. I grew up there and enjoyed watching the Super Steelers during the 1970's.
Hey William - no, this 24-minute portion is all I have. I did not record these Steeler games - they were recorded by Tim McCartney who had posted them on his now defunct TH-cam channel over 5 years ago. I just took his great recordings and enhanced them further, sharpening them, doubling the framerate, and correcting contrast and color.
Don Shula is the last coach to defeat john madden 1 legend beating another
Although I would've been the first person to Protest if Plunkett was given the starting Quarterback for the Raiders in 78, but that actually would've been the right move.
for a guy that wore glasses, Bob Greasy was a good QB
Great job!!! Please do some old school MLB too Please🙏
I actually have a few that I could work on. Maybe at some point.
This is back when my Raiders owned the Dolphins. Dolphins got this one but we went on to win superbowls and dolphins were has beens
Unbelievable
Id like to see twinkle toed Mahomes try to run around at QB in this rea lol.
...and no arbitrary "tackle box" grounding nonsense; receivers could be hit all over the field and the '79 rules change (designed to increase scoring) making a "greater emphasis" on calling pass interference and allowing OL to block with hands were a year away here. (Not to mention the arbitrary 5-yd contact rule.)
I’d take a Duster for 3986.
Absolute worst period in post-oil embargo car development in this country. Horrible.
@@teller1290 could happen again with all this turmoil going on. I remember the long lines. Did not have a car. Had just joined the AF.
@@mgomez5606 yeh, I predict the bait-and-switch on EVs coming one day. The ones that the masses will end up with will be very disappointing. They will be smaller, lighter and still expensive due to battery materials becoming more and more $$$. (I just paid $26 for two lithium flashlight batteries, btw.) And it will be too late to go back.
Does anyone know of the Dolphins vs Cardinals where I think it was Conrad Dobler was so mad that he throw his helmet in the air and it cracked. I was really young, but I just remember that moment. I think it was the 1977 thanksgiving game.
Sounds like the 1977 game…Dobler freaked out, pushed a ref, got kicked out.
@@vicariousjohnson9823 I believe it was. I just have this memory of Dobler, throwing his helmet.
Mele musta been drunk he called Stabler Griese twice lol
Yeh, I liked this announcing tm but that was surprising. Merlin was discombobulated for some reason there. But he regrouped after commercial break.
Still trying to recall what song that was at 14:30 mark- can't remember/ find
I checked it twice and I don't have a clue.
Disco inferno ? Lol
Who won the game? What was the final score?
www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197812100mia.htm
Foley out of Bama.
Raaaaaaaaaaiders!
Duriel Harris is god
Why is our games against the raiders always on you tube... from the seventies ..the one team that always beat us ...I don't even need to see who won ..the raiders were our krytonite
You'll never again see a quarterback wearing glasses😂
Nope. Because of the visors now. If you want to see Bob's glasses, they're at the Pro Football Hall of Fame 👓
Davis. Shouldve have cut. Freddie in 78 dumb move
Too bad the worst announcing crew ever were doing this game. Enberg and Olson
You're joking, right?
I don’t agree. Enberg and Olsen were one of the best.
I was there
Wow, I forgot how bad the announcers were back then. Just as bad as the current crop no brainers. 😛
This Raider team was straight trash
