Not sure where the subs were at when you made this comment but it is almost 40k now and I feel the same way. Every fan of football and football history needs to know about JG9. I have been extremely into sports history since I was very young and he finds tons of stories I haven't heard and ALWAYS has more details and a new angle for stories I know.

Hell, forget about the last two weeks of the season; the 2008 Browns ended their season with their final offensive TD coming BEFORE THANKSGIVING; 25 consecutive quarters!
Also, I just have to say that's pretty remarkable to me that the Raiders were able to have so much success for a good amount of the 1980's while playing musical chairs at QB with Jim Plunkett, and Marc Wilson. And it's not like they played in a cakewalk division either. I'm especially surprised that Marc Wilson was able to last as long as he did with the Raiders.
I remember those days. AFC West sent 3 teams to the playoffs in 83 and 84. I think 84 was when San Diego went 0 - 8 vs division, but still finished 7 - 9 or 8 - 8. West was brutal back then.
Marc Wilson was trash. Maybe the biggest mistake Al Davis made. Dude refused to cut bait...too stubborn to acknowledge his mistake. If they had drafted Dan Marino in 1983, they would've remained a contender well in to the early 90's, especially in Los Angeles.
These videos are amazing. You do an incredible job with everything. So many forgotten and hidden stories with every substantial detail. Keep them coming!
Yeah, I read about this stretch for the Raiders in the Pro Football Encyclopedia book I used to have (I liked the book as an overall reference, but so many tiny errors!). I mean, Jim Plunkett had a checkered career but he was good, although Marc Wilson didn't seem to really have it. But this really is odd, especially coming from a defending champ, and a Raiders team that hadn't had a losing record since 1964 at the time. Immediately afterward the Raiders righted their pirate ship & became one of the league's best teams from 1982-'85 (even with dealing with a relocation, practicing in two different cities at times, and playing in a coliseum that did them no competitive favors; I loved the track though:-). When we're talking about World War II NFL-era and making comparisons to it in 1981(certain teams back then, such as the Steelers, Eagles, and Cardinals, had to combine rosters just to field a full squad), that is just not good.
You should do a video about the 1992 Seattle Seahawks because they are considered to be the 2nd worst offense in NFL history next to the 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and they also scored the lowest point total in a 16 game season.
The early '90s were a horrible time for NFL offense in general. The '90 Patriots set the record for fewest points in 16 games, which was broken by the '91 Colts and broken again by the '92 Seahawks. SI even ran a cover story wondering why scoring was so down. NFL teams were averaging about 6 points per game less than they did last season. And TBH I miss those days, scoring now is way too easy.
@@DolFan316 To be fair, the 1990 Patriots and the 1991 Colts had just as a poor defense if not probably worse than their offense. The 1992 Seahawks had a top ranked defense of that year, which made them very imbalanced, which would make a good video for this uploader to do in the future.
As a then 11 yo in the Bay Area, I remember this streak. In the game vs. TB that ended the streak, a big deal was made that the Raiders scored in every way possible; a TD, a FG, an XP and a safety.

I actually still have the ticket from that broncos game. Coincidentally the price on the ticket was $17. I showed it to Greg Townsend autograph signing, and his response to the price was "17, was that the score?"
If you watch the week 6 game between the 49ers/Cowboys from this year (which I think is still on TH-cam as of this post), which John Madden and Pat Summerall did, you can hear the shock and disbelief in Madden's voice on the Raiders being shut out for the third straight week when the updated scores are brought up on the telecast. Madden was only 2 1/2 years removed from being their head coach.

Plunkett's thumb got wrecked in the first game of the season and he didn't tell anybody because he didn't want to lose his starting job. In 1982 they went 8-1 and were the number one seed in the AFC and in 1983 they won the Super Bowl again.
'92 Seahawks my dude, seven games (nearly half the freaking season) in which they didn't score a TD. When I say the Hawks (mostly the Behring Error) wasted Tez, this is what I mean
I wonder if this bad stretch happened right when Davis made it official they would leave for LA. The Raiders for whatever reason are a team highly connected to both positive and negative energy. That gut punch to the fans probably hurt the team.
@@aariesharris7894 Yeah, it kind of is. See, I've been following this team since 2003. I know these things. So we look at the Gruden situation and the Ruggs incident and they did go on a skid there and look completely lifeless. Luckily, they got their mojo back.
@@aariesharris7894 Yeah, but don't worry about that one. I mean it's dumb that he was even in that situation but he'll be ready to go Sunday so it won't have an effect.
It makes even less sense how this happened considering that after being benched here in 1981, Plunkett would return to starting and go on a streak of 28/6 in his next 34 starts including the Super Bowl win in 1983.
That was just really weird. They won a Super Bowl in 1980 and again in 1983, and to have a stretch like that in between... obviously they weren't a bad team, bad teams don't win two Super Bowls in a 4 year stretch.
The Raiders can't score, they can't move, and now, a potential gambling scandal. I wonder what the story of the last part was. BTW, that quote was from a "Year in Review" segment on the NFL on NBC prior to the Chargers- Dolphins playoff game. th-cam.com/video/QS-Uy5-q9Fg/w-d-xo.html Here's the video.
In the play starting at 2:12, it looked like Plunkett’s knee was down before the ball crossed the plane of the goal line. The Broncos players who were arguing with the refs had a point.
I was going to say the same thing! Ands if it looked that way to me seeing it for the first time in not the best video quality, there's no excuse for trained NFL officials to miss it who were standing mere feet away.
@@DolFan316 That being said, I totally didn’t remember Plunkett being that nimble. That was a pretty good run, even if he didn’t really score. The first thing that comes to mind about him is that unusual throwing motion.
Ironically, they finished with the best record the year after in 1982, and won the super bowl in the 1983 season. The mighty fell in '81, but didn't stay down long.....
Referring to the other video, maybe it was an omen for the 1981 Raiders that they started the season by losing a game where the other team’s kicker missed 5 FGs
@@DolFan316 They other knock on Marcus Allen coming out of USC was lack of speed. Of course, he had the record-setting 74-yard TD run in Super Bowl XVIII.
Bad Coke, they were looking for a different supplier during that stretch. Ask anyone who was of age in the late 1970's where were they when the straw broke out?
Shut out?! What's that? Being a 49er fan back in '81....that wouldn't happen until I had grandchildren. I didn't even have any kids in '81 and they hadn't been shutout since before I got married in '78. I believe it is still the record. Felt bad for Raider fans though. That was a tough three games to swallow. Especially after that miracle '80 season. They'd come back though like the Raiders always do. The '82 49ers joined that list of lossing record after winning a championship. Although that year should never have been played, I'm glad the Redskins got their butts kicked by these Raiders.
It should be noted that 1981 Raiders team was dealing with a MAJOR distraction: Whether or not they were moving to Los Angeles, which they did following this season.
Teams back then had a tendency if "overpartying" after winning a super bowl. I think they just came back slower. They weren't hungry anymore as a team.
This was a truly remarkable, and not much talked about, event. Not even the Tampa Bay Bucs, who lost 26 games in a row, were ever shut out in three consecutive games. Nor were the 0-16 Lions, or the 0-16 Cleveland Browns. And this wasn't just ANY team being shut out three times in a row, it was the defending Super Bowl champions! To this day, it makes no sense. Especially because just a year later they produced one of the league's top-scoring offenses (helped out, no doubt, by drafting Hall of Fame runningback Marcus Allen) and finished 8-1, and then had another high-powered offense the next year and won the Super Bowl. In fact, if the Raiders had just had consistently slightly above-average QB play during the 1980s, they probably would have won another Super Bowl (or two). If Pete Rozelle doesn't veto the trade that sent John Elway to the Raiders, they win at least two more Super Bowls in the decade and probably win Team of the Decade over the 49ers. Regardless, this was a great video about a subject I've often wondered about. Thank you for making it.
I've heard Clowns fans say this forever- we're in the SB if Sipe doesn't throw that INT vs the Raiders. I'll bet a Clowns fan make a comment, like the AFC Championship game that year was the Clowns vs the Raiders. I tell them, they still had to play the AFC Championship game in SD. There is no guarantee the Clowns would have beaten the SD Chargers.
Look at the old players, particularly on offense, on that Raider team. Most of them had glory in the 70's. Shell and Upshaw in I believe their last seasons went back to 60's and sb l. And hard to believe the Raiders would win a sb again in the '83 season having added another crazy man in Alzado. Plus Marcus Allen in '82 draft to give the offense a boost and Mark Haynes by then giving their secondary a boost. And Wow when the Lions shut you out 16-o that is bad. Lions at least had Billy Sims and Bubba Baker and the silver rush and were tough in the Silverdome. Speaking of lousy offenses do a video on the '92 Seahawks who scored 140 pts. that season, the fewest in a modern 16 game season. They were shut out two games in a row and averaged 8.8 pts. per game never scoring more then 17 pts. in any game. Seahawks only had 1,778 yds. passing (or four games worth for Mahomes) on the season, the fewest passing yardage of any team in the 90's. I'm sure expansion Bucs had the fewest. And that in a 14 game season. Some games Seahawks had more punts than pts. And even with that lousy offense in a 2-14 season Seahawks didn't even get the top pick in the draft thanks to a week 3 10-6 win at Pats. 2-14 Pats did. They took Bledsoe, Hawks took Mirer.
Gene Upshaw's, first, season, was, 1967, the same as, SB II, this, was, his, last, Art Shell's, first, season, was, 1968, 1982, was, his, last, amazing, they're, truly, a tandem.
@@matthewdaley746Yep I made the sb ll correction. I know I see Upshaw in the sb ll highlights. And it seems like they both came to Raiders and left together since they were so solid over 14 seasons.
For modern football, this definitely qualifies as the worst strech on offense. But for historical ineptitude, we look at the 1933-34 Cincinnati Reds. They played 18 league games in those two seasons and were shutout 11 times. The Reds went 3-6-1 in 33, scoring 38 points against 110 points. In the 33 season, they were shutout 5 times (back to back and 3 straight), but did pitch 2 shoutouts; a scoreless draw against Pittsburgh, and a 10-0 victory over Brooklyn. The 1934 season was a disaster. The Reds were shutout in 6 of 8 games and only scored 10 points against 243. The Reds final NFL game was a 64-0 thrashing by the Philadelphia Eagles.
I haven't watched a baseball game since the Milwaukee Brewers had to let Paul Molitor go because of the ridiculous pay format that MLB uses. If small market teams can't compete with big money teams it ruins the entire sport. Sad, because I do love the game of baseball and I played it nine seasons though High School. Even when the Brewers are having a good season I don't care and won't watch because I know the system is rigged and they will be bad again soon after big market teams scoop up all their talent. I'm not getting my heart broke and getting pissed for other people stupidity! Go Packers!
@@tygrkhat4087 I stopped reading your post when you said Cincinnati Reds and got triggered. I hate MLB and didn't realize you were referring to the NFL. My mistake sorry.
And of course the Bucs would be the team they finally broke the streak against and beat 🤣 After blowing a 15-0 lead and needing a late FG to win by 2 with only one TD scored.
Their best players were on Defense...And they always got other teams rejects...Al would try to Squeeze what little they had left out...He’d get them on that Juice and tell them to Just Win aka cheat and boy did they.
Plunkett had an odd career. Wasn’t horrible in NE. Was rookie of the year in 1971 then struggled. Team began 5-0 in 1974 before injuries beset NE and they ended up 7-7.. His whole career was up and down. He was out of football for a year before his Cinderella 1980 season with Oakland that never would have happened had Pastorini not gotten hurt. 1981 was when the clock struck midnight for Plunkett. He would have another Cinderella stretch that ended in another SB ring in 1983 but the fact remains both Plunkett and Wilson were mediocre and held the Raiders back from winning more titles in the 80s
Adding another Heisman trophy winner in Marcus Allen as well as Mike Haynes to secondary had a lot to do with Plunkett winning that second sb. Without those two Raiders never get to the sb and rout the Skins.
@@JAWrightonline Because sipe threw a horrendous late game pick to give raiders a playoff win. And getting eagles in the s b pre the niner, skin, bear, g men nfc gauntlet of s b winners that would dominate the next decade and a half helped as well. Raiders played like an nfc team. That's why.
After the Raiders beat the Buck to end the streak, Al Davis was asked about finally getting points and the win. He went on a little rant about how the coaches were holding Marc Wilson back. Not letting him unleash the long pass. Al believed that the future greatness of Marc Wilson would eventually get him, Wilson, into the HOF. Spoiler alert: It never happened. No greatness and no HOF,
Was it bad? Yes. Worst offensive stretch ever? Not even close. For that I give you the 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. From week 1-12 the Bucs had scored a grand total of 53 points. Yes, 53 points in 12 games. And 23 of those points were scored in 1 game so in a sense they scored 30 total points in 11 other games. They were shut out 6 times(4 in a 5 week stretch). So as bad as the Raiders were here, they don't even come close to this level of futility. 2 seasons later the Bucs were knocking on the door of the Super Bowl. There's a deep dive for you. From 0-26 to 10 points from the Super Bowl.
Suggestion. Stop putting all those tabs up on screen. Very distracting and the ones where you're quoting newspaper articles are so small it's hard to read.
Advice to the TH-cam creator!!! Your audio is horrible! It sounds like your using a handheld microphone from the 70s. Even if you used a phone made in the last few years, and had a 20 dollar microphone on it, it would sound way better. Remember, your footage already looks bad because of how old it is, and your opening graphic, is pretty retro looking too. And that's fine. But there is no good reason to have bad audio. At the very least, pump up the volume by a good 50% to 100%. If your not going to buy a good microphone and use some good audio software and mix it in better, then at least sound louder. Back in 2000 when I was a TV ripper, we used to do that. We would compress the audio to save space, but jack up the volume. That alone can really help. Remember, I can always lower the volume, but I can only increase it to a max of 100. If your still to low sounding, then there is zero I can do about that other then download your video, and re render it myself. Which we are not going to do. So it has to be on your end. But in 2021, just a 100 dollar microphone can make a massive difference between sounding like a hack who has only 50k subs in five years, or a professional who has one million a year from now. I feel you could also work on your voice as well. You need to try and sound more professional. l Like a 30 for 30 video. You need to create what is called a "voice over voice". It is a learned voice and in your case, I'm thinking you could start by trying to lower your voice a bit at times, as if you notice, their standard house guys, have a bit of grit in their voices, but not like a singer would. It should come from more power and inflections, and projecting. And you should also try and convey more emotion as well when your talking. I'm not saying your not at all, but acting, is over acting. Once you realize that, you will never not see it in TV and films. So try and pretend like you are not just reading a script, but that your telling a story. And exciting story. One worth hearing. Because right now, it sounds like your just reading, and that is fine to read your script of course. But what you want me to listener at home to feel is that your telling an exiting story. One with highs and lows to keep me interested. But vocally. That is what I'm asking you to work on right now. Your vocals. TH-cam some clips to for help, and of course, practice, practice, practice. Practice in the shower, the car, whenever. Hopefully you will see this all as constructive criticism, and it comes from someone who only wants to help you succeed, but from decades of doing stuff that is similar. Good Luck.

That was also the Raiders last season before moving downstate to LA. They went 8-1 the next year and won the Super Bowl the year after that.
I wonder if this bad stretch happened right when Davis made it official they would leave for LA. The Raiders for whatever reason are a team highly connected to both positive and negative energy. That gut punch to the fans probably hurt the team.
Then again, coming back to Oakland doesn’t fare well in the long term.
This season for the Raiders is a microcosm of this comment
@@aariesharris7894 Yeah, it kind of is. See, I've been following this team since 2003. I know these things. So we look at the Gruden situation and the Ruggs incident and they did go on a skid there and look completely lifeless. Luckily, they got their mojo back.
@@osaji922 and now Hobbs just caught a DUI 🤦🏾♂️
@@aariesharris7894 Yeah, but don't worry about that one. I mean it's dumb that he was even in that situation but he'll be ready to go Sunday so it won't have an effect.
It makes even less sense how this happened considering that after being benched here in 1981, Plunkett would return to starting and go on a streak of 28/6 in his next 34 starts including the Super Bowl win in 1983.
Actually remember being in middle school and all of us talking about this stretch of raiders football
That was just really weird. They won a Super Bowl in 1980 and again in 1983, and to have a stretch like that in between... obviously they weren't a bad team, bad teams don't win two Super Bowls in a 4 year stretch.
Been binging on your videos, they're awesome
Of course they snapped their shutout streak against my Buccaneers. Dammit!
I've been waiting for you to get around to this story
I remember those games, and they finally beat the Bucanneers the next week
The Raiders can't score, they can't move, and now, a potential gambling scandal.
I wonder what the story of the last part was. BTW, that quote was from a "Year in Review" segment on the NFL on NBC prior to the Chargers- Dolphins playoff game.

Here's the video.
Don't Sleep on RB Frank Hawkins...Dude Was Such a Workout Warrior The Coaches Had to Tell Him to Lay Off The Weights!
I did not remember this. Great info.
Now THIS is something I actually knew about at the time 😄 And they still beat my team 33-17, figures 😠
Great work!
In the play starting at 2:12, it looked like Plunkett’s knee was down before the ball crossed the plane of the goal line. The Broncos players who were arguing with the refs had a point.
I was going to say the same thing! Ands if it looked that way to me seeing it for the first time in not the best video quality, there's no excuse for trained NFL officials to miss it who were standing mere feet away.
@@DolFan316 Yeah, and not just one of them, but two! Lol
@@DolFan316 That being said, I totally didn’t remember Plunkett being that nimble. That was a pretty good run, even if he didn’t really score. The first thing that comes to mind about him is that unusual throwing motion.
🧣challenge
Lol
@@teen_laqueefa yep, that definitely would be challenged today.
MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL
Ironically, they finished with the best record the year after in 1982, and won the super bowl in the 1983 season. The mighty fell in '81, but didn't stay down long.....
Referring to the other video, maybe it was an omen for the 1981 Raiders that they started the season by losing a game where the other team’s kicker missed 5 FGs
Fred Steinfort! 🤪
Career field goal percentage-55%. 🤦♂️
I love this channel
For those wondering, the passer rating for the Chiefs game was 15.7
Cover how the Broncos almost drafted Russell Wilson
And now they got ol DANGER RUSS
*reads the title*
Ehh I’ve seen the Raiders in some fair share of a lot bad stretches since I was born in 99. 🤷🏻😂
The bad season allowed the raiders to draft Marcus Allen in the next draft so not all is bad
This, also, was, the, first, year, for, the, future, HOFer, Howie Long, so, there's that, it, was, a transitional year, to say the, least.
The crazy part is, Allen fell to them at #10 and they actually had a pick that high with 7 wins 😲
@@DolFan316 I know usually 7 wins puts you in the mid to late teens and a player of Allen’s talent usually doesn’t fall
@@jewsco I think the reason Allen fell is because he got a reputation as a fumbler, at least that's what I seem to remember.
@@DolFan316 They other knock on Marcus Allen coming out of USC was lack of speed. Of course, he had the record-setting 74-yard TD run in Super Bowl XVIII.
Silver and BRUH
This would be embarassing by the standards of even the 1-31 Browns, from a top shelf squad like the Raiders (at that time) were, it's shocking
Great video!!
Bad Coke, they were looking for a different supplier during that stretch. Ask anyone who was of age in the late 1970's where were they when the straw broke out?
As a 20-ish year old Saints fan, I can only imagine what it feels like to be shut out
I don't recommend going back and looking at the Saints in the '70's and '80's then....
Oof, might not have to imagine with Brees having retired now. Things might get a bit rough.
@@joeylawn36111 I know this team's history well enough to say that I wouldn't wish the first 21 years of our franchise on ANYBODY
@@astrostar49 if the 2015 Saints could put up 22 with Luke McCown, then the 2021 Saints can manage at least 3 with Jameis Winston
Tampa Bay was shutout town back in the late 90's early 00's
Shut out?! What's that? Being a 49er fan back in '81....that wouldn't happen until I had grandchildren. I didn't even have any kids in '81 and they hadn't been shutout since before I got married in '78. I believe it is still the record.
Felt bad for Raider fans though. That was a tough three games to swallow. Especially after that miracle '80 season. They'd come back though like the Raiders always do.
The '82 49ers joined that list of lossing record after winning a championship. Although that year should never have been played, I'm glad the Redskins got their butts kicked by these Raiders.
Just score baby
I would "bet" they were favs each week.
It should be noted that 1981 Raiders team was dealing with a MAJOR distraction: Whether or not they were moving to Los Angeles, which they did following this season.
Teams back then had a tendency if "overpartying" after winning a super bowl. I think they just came back slower. They weren't hungry anymore as a team.
This was a truly remarkable, and not much talked about, event. Not even the Tampa Bay Bucs, who lost 26 games in a row, were ever shut out in three consecutive games. Nor were the 0-16 Lions, or the 0-16 Cleveland Browns. And this wasn't just ANY team being shut out three times in a row, it was the defending Super Bowl champions! To this day, it makes no sense. Especially because just a year later they produced one of the league's top-scoring offenses (helped out, no doubt, by drafting Hall of Fame runningback Marcus Allen) and finished 8-1, and then had another high-powered offense the next year and won the Super Bowl.
In fact, if the Raiders had just had consistently slightly above-average QB play during the 1980s, they probably would have won another Super Bowl (or two). If Pete Rozelle doesn't veto the trade that sent John Elway to the Raiders, they win at least two more Super Bowls in the decade and probably win Team of the Decade over the 49ers.
Regardless, this was a great video about a subject I've often wondered about. Thank you for making it.
I've heard Clowns fans say this forever- we're in the SB if Sipe doesn't throw that INT vs the Raiders. I'll bet a Clowns fan make a comment, like the AFC Championship game that year was the Clowns vs the Raiders.
I tell them, they still had to play the AFC Championship game in SD. There is no guarantee the Clowns would have beaten the SD Chargers.
After, the Chargers got rid of Fred Dean, they, were, no, longer, a threat, unbridled stupidity.
Come on 1981 Oakland Raiders. Just score. Any way you can. Please. This is embarrassing!
I love your videos but please turn up the overall volume. Thanks.
One thing stands out in these clips--the Raiders QBs hold the ball forever when attempting a pass.
Look at the old players, particularly on offense, on that Raider team. Most of them had glory in the 70's. Shell and Upshaw in I believe their last seasons went back to 60's and sb l. And hard to believe the Raiders would win a sb again in the '83 season having added another crazy man in Alzado. Plus Marcus Allen in '82 draft to give the offense a boost and Mark Haynes by then giving their secondary a boost. And Wow when the Lions shut you out 16-o that is bad. Lions at least had Billy Sims and Bubba Baker and the silver rush and were tough in the Silverdome. Speaking of lousy offenses do a video on the '92 Seahawks who scored 140 pts. that season, the fewest in a modern 16 game season. They were shut out two games in a row and averaged 8.8 pts. per game never scoring more then 17 pts. in any game. Seahawks only had 1,778 yds. passing (or four games worth for Mahomes) on the season, the fewest passing yardage of any team in the 90's. I'm sure expansion Bucs had the fewest. And that in a 14 game season. Some games Seahawks had more punts than pts. And even with that lousy offense in a 2-14 season Seahawks didn't even get the top pick in the draft thanks to a week 3 10-6 win at Pats. 2-14 Pats did. They took Bledsoe, Hawks took Mirer.
correction: SB ll and Mike Haynes.
Gene Upshaw's, first, season, was, 1967, the same as, SB II, this, was, his, last, Art Shell's, first, season, was, 1968, 1982, was, his, last, amazing, they're, truly, a tandem.
@@matthewdaley746Yep I made the sb ll correction. I know I see Upshaw in the sb ll highlights. And it seems like they both came to Raiders and left together since they were so solid over 14 seasons.
@stevenbauer4799 Biletnikoff, Banaszak, and, Brown, as, well.
@steven bauer What an amazing combination, both, were.
For modern football, this definitely qualifies as the worst strech on offense. But for historical ineptitude, we look at the 1933-34 Cincinnati Reds. They played 18 league games in those two seasons and were shutout 11 times. The Reds went 3-6-1 in 33, scoring 38 points against 110 points. In the 33 season, they were shutout 5 times (back to back and 3 straight), but did pitch 2 shoutouts; a scoreless draw against Pittsburgh, and a 10-0 victory over Brooklyn. The 1934 season was a disaster. The Reds were shutout in 6 of 8 games and only scored 10 points against 243. The Reds final NFL game was a 64-0 thrashing by the Philadelphia Eagles.
I haven't watched a baseball game since the Milwaukee Brewers had to let Paul Molitor go because of the ridiculous pay format that MLB uses. If small market teams can't compete with big money teams it ruins the entire sport. Sad, because I do love the game of baseball and I played it nine seasons though High School. Even when the Brewers are having a good season I don't care and won't watch because I know the system is rigged and they will be bad again soon after big market teams scoop up all their talent. I'm not getting my heart broke and getting pissed for other people stupidity! Go Packers!
@@Wallyworld30 I'm sorry you've lost interest in the Brewers, but what does this have to do with my post or the subject of the video?
Wrong sport, this video is about football. Focus
@@tygrkhat4087 I stopped reading your post when you said Cincinnati Reds and got triggered. I hate MLB and didn't realize you were referring to the NFL. My mistake sorry.
@@Wallyworld30 No problem. Although, the two shutouts the Reds had were against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brooklyn Dodgers.
And of course the Bucs would be the team they finally broke the streak against and beat 🤣 After blowing a 15-0 lead and needing a late FG to win by 2 with only one TD scored.
40 Years Ago
Their best players were on Defense...And they always got other teams rejects...Al would try to Squeeze what little they had left out...He’d get them on that Juice and tell them to Just Win aka cheat and boy did they.
Won the Bowl 2 years later… Marcus Allen
Mmmmm delicious tears of the Duct Tape Nation lol.
This may have been the first season we swept Oakland too.
1965 Bears didn't score in there 1st 4 games 3 0-0 ties and a 2-0 loss
But I remember this period.
Plunkett had an odd career. Wasn’t horrible in NE. Was rookie of the year in 1971 then struggled. Team began 5-0 in 1974 before injuries beset NE and they ended up 7-7.. His whole career was up and down. He was out of football for a year before his Cinderella 1980 season with Oakland that never would have happened had Pastorini not gotten hurt. 1981 was when the clock struck midnight for Plunkett. He would have another Cinderella stretch that ended in another SB ring in 1983 but the fact remains both Plunkett and Wilson were mediocre and held the Raiders back from winning more titles in the 80s
Oddly enough, he, was, one, of the few, Heisman Trophy, winners, to have a successful career, he, also, was, drafted, First, Overall.
Adding another Heisman trophy winner in Marcus Allen as well as Mike Haynes to secondary had a lot to do with Plunkett winning that second sb. Without those two Raiders never get to the sb and rout the Skins.
@steven bauer Yeah, and, Marcus, Allen, is, the, only, player, to, win, the, Heisman, Trophy, ROTY, MVP, and, SB, MVP, truly, astonishing.
@@stevenbauer4799 What's your explanation for Plunkett winning the Super Bowl three years earlier? No Allen or Haynes that year.
@@JAWrightonline Because sipe threw a horrendous late game pick to give raiders a playoff win. And getting eagles in the s b pre the niner, skin, bear, g men nfc gauntlet of s b winners that would dominate the next decade and a half helped as well. Raiders played like an nfc team. That's why.
After the Raiders beat the Buck to end the streak, Al Davis was asked about finally getting points and the win. He went on a little rant about how the coaches were holding Marc Wilson back. Not letting him unleash the long pass. Al believed that the future greatness of Marc Wilson would eventually get him, Wilson, into the HOF. Spoiler alert: It never happened. No greatness and no HOF,
Was it bad? Yes. Worst offensive stretch ever? Not even close. For that I give you the 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. From week 1-12 the Bucs had scored a grand total of 53 points. Yes, 53 points in 12 games. And 23 of those points were scored in 1 game so in a sense they scored 30 total points in 11 other games. They were shut out 6 times(4 in a 5 week stretch). So as bad as the Raiders were here, they don't even come close to this level of futility. 2 seasons later the Bucs were knocking on the door of the Super Bowl. There's a deep dive for you. From 0-26 to 10 points from the Super Bowl.
jagoffs been to a super bowl yet

raider nation 4 life
What?
The raiders was coming off the super bowl hangover
I'd send you money but I'm poor now. Your shit is awesome to me... awesomeness
That stretch is pretty much why Plunkett will never be a Hall of Famer.
Yeah, and, the fact that Joe Theismann, lost, a, SB, to him, is why he will, never, be, a, HOFer.
Has any team since 1981, been shutout three games in a season?
I'm sure it's been done a few times, one of them appropriately enough was the Raiders in 2006, shut out by the Chargers, Seahawks, and Rams
I still believe the 2006 Raiders are worse (if not the most inept offense ever.)
2 in 7 chance of a sack
Suggestion. Stop putting all those tabs up on screen. Very distracting and the ones where you're quoting newspaper articles are so small it's hard to read.
The Raiders under JaMarcus Russell weren't even this bad.
Advice to the TH-cam creator!!! Your audio is horrible! It sounds like your using a handheld microphone from the 70s. Even if you used a phone made in the last few years, and had a 20 dollar microphone on it, it would sound way better.
Remember, your footage already looks bad because of how old it is, and your opening graphic, is pretty retro looking too. And that's fine. But there is no good reason to have bad audio.
At the very least, pump up the volume by a good 50% to 100%. If your not going to buy a good microphone and use some good audio software and mix it in better, then at least sound louder. Back in 2000 when I was a TV ripper, we used to do that. We would compress the audio to save space, but jack up the volume. That alone can really help. Remember, I can always lower the volume, but I can only increase it to a max of 100. If your still to low sounding, then there is zero I can do about that other then download your video, and re render it myself. Which we are not going to do. So it has to be on your end.
But in 2021, just a 100 dollar microphone can make a massive difference between sounding like a hack who has only 50k subs in five years, or a professional who has one million a year from now.
I feel you could also work on your voice as well. You need to try and sound more professional. l Like a 30 for 30 video. You need to create what is called a "voice over voice". It is a learned voice and in your case, I'm thinking you could start by trying to lower your voice a bit at times, as if you notice, their standard house guys, have a bit of grit in their voices, but not like a singer would. It should come from more power and inflections, and projecting.
And you should also try and convey more emotion as well when your talking. I'm not saying your not at all, but acting, is over acting. Once you realize that, you will never not see it in TV and films. So try and pretend like you are not just reading a script, but that your telling a story. And exciting story. One worth hearing.
Because right now, it sounds like your just reading, and that is fine to read your script of course. But what you want me to listener at home to feel is that your telling an exiting story. One with highs and lows to keep me interested. But vocally. That is what I'm asking you to work on right now. Your vocals. TH-cam some clips to for help, and of course, practice, practice, practice. Practice in the shower, the car, whenever.
Hopefully you will see this all as constructive criticism, and it comes from someone who only wants to help you succeed, but from decades of doing stuff that is similar. Good Luck.
point being?yes bad wins.& 1 year later we were super bowl champions a blowout against washington racist.
The Raiders, Lol.
the music is soooooo repetitive
