Yes, I would love to see more Saints clips with Archie. I grew up watching Archie play in Tulane Stadium before the Superdome was built. Superdome was ok but my best memories were watching the Saints at the Tulane Stadium.
Good video of a thrilling finish in what was another season to forget in New Orleans. Archie could do many things on the field; but when a QB doesn't have an O-line, he ends up running for his life. Had he been given a proper supporting cast, he would have played in a few playoff games. Instead, he owns the distinction of having the lowest lifetime winning pct among QB's; and was probably the most sacked pivot in NFL history. He gave all he had to give.
Dallas does too. I like the "tear away" jerseys too. The Superdome was supposed to be completed a year earlier I think, hence that one SB was played at Tulane.
I had season tickets in Tulane stadium. A kid's ticket, SW end zone, row 5, seat 14, $15 for the entire season. We'd sell parking in our drive way and then walk to the game. Man, that was passing a good time.
i'm pretty sure "The Autumn Wind" by Sam Spence,NFL Music, poem by Steve Sabol was first used in an NFL film that summarized the 1974 season & it was used to feature the Raiders, but when this Saints film was made, not even a year later,"Autumn Wind" wasn't established as the Raiders theme song yet.
amazing how today Archie Manning's son & his former team (in the Superdome)both won their respective games for the Super Bowl. Took a long time for the Saints to get to this point. Congrats to Colts & Saints from this Cowboys fan! ps: wasnt Hank Stramm coaching Saints in '75?
If you mean the Saints Hall of Fame, yes. He was the first inductee. He's not in the NFL Hall, obviously. Roger Staubach said that if Archie had been with the Cowboys, they would've won (I forget how many) Superbowls. It's in Archie's book somewhere.
Well...although he never got a lot of attention and notoriety from the newsmedia, ERIC MARTIN was a pretty damn good receiver during the Mora-Hebert days. I'm sure he was their all-time leading receiver when he retired. Eric definitely had opposing defenses respect.
Favre is definitely in the top 10 QB's of all time. Yeah he threw stupid interceptions at times but he was tough and never gave up. He also has more TD's then any other QB in history but he should have retired after Green Bay IMO-but football was in his blood and he loved to play and almost went to the SB at 40 years old!!! Joe Montana is the best IMO-
That's true. He had Chandler and Chuck Muncie as his RB during his best seasons. HOWEVER...most people remember those two guys as CHARGERS not Saints. Those guys became legends in San Diego; after they left, Archie's career with the Saints was basically over.
His (Archie's) best year statistically was the 1-15 year (1979, I think)! Van2Dan is spot on in his comment. (Why can't you reply to comments in this video...date of upload?)
Does anyone else notice at the :54 mark, where Archie breaks out of the pack, rolls right and throws on a dead run to Tinker Owens looks hauntingly like a similar throw made by Eli in the Superbowl, other than Archie looks much smoother?
@Tru3Innovator77 Yeah, like, I saw a video he said his favorite team was Oakland(he was like 5) but really, I think they were saying their second favorite team, cause they're from New Orleans and I say another video from when he was 3 he said his favorite player is his Dad, which is pretty nice. And I mean, something as big as the Superbowl is different, like if it were just a regular game it seems sorta w/e but the Superbowl must have been weird.
@JohnEko When Archie retired, I heard him on a radio station talking about his future. A caller wanted him to go back and coach Ole Miss. Archie said that there were two professions he decided he would not try after football......coaching and brain surgery. :)
I do not agree. Neither Eli nor Peyton are scrambling quarterbacks. Eli does more than Peyton, but both are classic pocket qbs. Archie was very exciting to watch, but I love watching his great sons play too.
Archie looked alot like Eli scrambling to throw a pass in the Super Bowl to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. I was a 1 year old when this game was played. That makes me a who dat baby.
Archie was always a scrambling qb. At Ole Miss, he had as many yards running as throwing. His sons are pocket passers. Eli can scramble a bit more than Peyton, but Peyton has become a little more mobile the last couple of years.
True Tragedy. With semi-competent ownership, Archie would be remembered for the being the great QB he was supposed to be instead a of being a guy who always put up a good fight in losing efforts. Only the Culverhouses were MORE incompetent. This guy was MORE talented than his sons...he could throw AND he could RUN.
We'll see,winning a superbowl doesn't immediately make you a great, and your right about Roethlisberger. You can't compare Brees and Roethlisberger, Brees can't take the damage Ben has taken from sacks nor can he pump-fake so well, he fakes the camera. Ben will never have the stats that Brees will have but thats what he might only be remembered for, you can say Brees is second to Peyton but Peyton is 2nd to Roethlisberger who is 2nd to Brady.Being great like peyton & brees dont win U superbowls
dont take this the wroung way but your speaking out your ass i mean if he was drafted by any other team but the saints {i love the saints and am glad they took him}he would have won a super bowl
I feel bad for archey manning, playing for a shitty team(no offense Saints fans) but Peyton takes after Archeys face because I ot a newspapaer with archey in his uniform back when he still played
@PITTSBURGHFANFOREVER take it from someone whos dad played with archie.....he was a great college football player..his name in college carried him as a good pro football player...billy kilmer was way better however....any saint that played with archie will tell you that...my dad doug wyatt #23
Ha! A classic highlight from my 5th birthday! Geaux Saints!!!
Yes, I would love to see more Saints clips with Archie. I grew up watching Archie play in Tulane Stadium before the Superdome was built. Superdome was ok but my best memories were watching the Saints at the Tulane Stadium.
WE WANT MORE ARCHIE MANNING
The dude was a star for the saints. The only star player for them.
That was really cool. I hardly ever get to see clips of Archie Manning.
The QB legend to not make the playoffs. It was bad for him to not get help from his teammates. His teammates were awful players.
Very nice. Difficult to find Packers footage from 1972-1976. I know it's Saints highlights, but it's nice to see rare film.
the Saints should come out this season with the 1975 white unis as a throwback for the Home opener ........
Thanks alot for the post!
We love ya, Archie!
Archie Manning is the man.
love those all white unis. have never seen them "in action" before.
Thank You!
You have never seen Archie play in college or pro, he was one of the best ever, just didn't have any help.
No help at all. That is embarrassing to Archie Manning. He can't do it all by himself.
I love the Saints old white uniforms.
Good video of a thrilling finish in what was another season to forget in New Orleans.

He gave all he had to give.
I love it! Can you find more old clips of Archie?
He was terrific
the best QB of all time. What he could have done with a team
Thank You Ken.
THIS WAS ON NFL CHANNLE
Dallas does too. I like the "tear away" jerseys too. The Superdome was supposed to be completed a year earlier I think, hence that one SB was played at Tulane.
I had season tickets in Tulane stadium. A kid's ticket, SW end zone, row 5, seat 14, $15 for the entire season. We'd sell parking in our drive way and then walk to the game. Man, that was passing a good time.
you know its funny theres QBs that have done a lot more but he has got to be one of the most popular today
"a preview of things to come!" ... casually waits until 2008
Fortunately I've only been a Saints fan since 1983,It was an easy 26 season wait. 🥴
i'm pretty sure "The Autumn Wind" by Sam Spence,NFL Music, poem by Steve Sabol was first used in an NFL film that summarized the 1974 season & it was used to feature the Raiders, but when this Saints film was made, not even a year later,"Autumn Wind" wasn't established as the Raiders theme song yet.
geaux saints

Hey, this guy fathered not one but TWO Super Bowl MVP QBs. What a family!
A family with a love of football.
i saw this thismorning as it showed up on my um thingy suggested viewing thing
I miss the all-white jerseys/pants. We should bring that back, at least once on the throwback weekend.
wat r u serious archie was 1 of the best eva

This was their second game at the Superdome; the Bengals had spoiled the dome’s debut by shutting out the Saints 21-0.
That's true. He had Chandler and Chuck Muncie as his RB during his best seasons. HOWEVER...most people remember those two guys as CHARGERS not Saints. Those guys became legends in San Diego; after they left, Archie's career with the Saints was basically over.
where do you find these old games? nowhere?
His (Archie's) best year statistically was the 1-15 year (1979, I think)! Van2Dan is spot on in his comment. (Why can't you reply to comments in this video...date of upload?)
actually the 1-15 season was in 1980
It was 1980. The Saints went 8-8 in 1979 and 1-15 in 1980 under Archie Manning and Head Coach Dick Nolan.
yeah, he's in it
@planefreak3
Autum Wind was associated not only with Raiders highlights but bad weather late season games.
@fanofmanyteams wheres the video now? who dat
WHO DAT!!!!
Tulane Stadium still rules over the Superdome!
Does anyone else notice at the :54 mark, where Archie breaks out of the pack, rolls right and throws on a dead run to Tinker Owens looks hauntingly like a similar throw made by Eli in the Superbowl, other than Archie looks much smoother?
AMEN TO THAT
who do you guys think he looks like? peyton or eli?
@PITTSBURGHFANFOREVER that's right, he was a good player just wasn't on a good team his whole career. He didn't have good offensive linemen.
He was a great player on a losing team for 12 years.
why r the using the raiders nfl song???
@Tru3Innovator77 Yeah, like, I saw a video he said his favorite team was Oakland(he was like 5) but really, I think they were saying their second favorite team, cause they're from New Orleans and I say another video from when he was 3 he said his favorite player is his Dad, which is pretty nice. And I mean, something as big as the Superbowl is different, like if it were just a regular game it seems sorta w/e but the Superbowl must have been weird.
@JohnEko When Archie retired, I heard him on a radio station talking about his future. A caller wanted him to go back and coach Ole Miss. Archie said that there were two professions he decided he would not try after football......coaching and brain surgery. :)
I totally agree. The lesson Archie learned was, don't sign with a sh*tty team. Two of his sons have won Super Bowls, thanks to that lesson.
His sons weren't on shitty teams. They had excellent players to win.
@GeorgeVreelandHill He sure was a great QB.
I do not agree. Neither Eli nor Peyton are scrambling quarterbacks. Eli does more than Peyton, but both are classic pocket qbs. Archie was very exciting to watch, but I love watching his great sons play too.
@catrachowhodat87 PEYTON WAS WAYYYYY BETTER THAN HIS FATHER...AND ELI ACTUALLY HAS MORE NATURAL ABILITY THAN PEYTON...
Archie looked alot like Eli scrambling to throw a pass in the Super Bowl to beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. I was a 1 year old when this game was played. That makes me a who dat baby.
Eli had amazing players to get two rings, unlike his father, who did not have amazing players in his career.
well that was in the past
and even though Brees and Peyton won superbowls, that might be their only one, just look at Favre
Peyton and Eli are great Pro Bowl Quarterbacks, but they didn't get Archie's speed and running ability lol
I was thinking the same thing bc they slow af
Archie mistake was playing on a bad team.
Archie was always a scrambling qb. At Ole Miss, he had as many yards running as throwing. His sons are pocket passers. Eli can scramble a bit more than Peyton, but Peyton has become a little more mobile the last couple of years.
@PITTSBURGHFANFOREVER so just to be clear...a great college player...a ok pro player!!
eli isnt a scrambler
Wow the whole manning family is rich
True Tragedy. With semi-competent ownership, Archie would be remembered for the being the great QB he was supposed to be instead a of being a guy who always put up a good fight in losing efforts. Only the Culverhouses were MORE incompetent. This guy was MORE talented than his sons...he could throw AND he could RUN.
Throw and run. He did have skills to be a legendary QB.
Montana definitely but Favre come on i dont know if he is even in the top 10
@PITTSBURGHFANFOREVER You Better believe it.
You don't see too many left footed kickers.
And all of them are behind Joe Montana and Brett Favre
was archie a HOF
No
Did N.O. always wear their "away" jerseys at home in 1975?
Saints wore black in their last three home games
@Chipfan1111111111111 WELL SAID!!!!!!
@yourpalal1227 Don't you mean 34 Years? Well, that IS more than 24.
@skywalker71903 theyre not real players?!?!?!? wow
Mike Vick had arm strength he just chose not to use it LOL
@Tru3Innovator77 That's what I said.
We'll see,winning a superbowl doesn't immediately make you a great, and your right about Roethlisberger. You can't compare Brees and Roethlisberger, Brees can't take the damage Ben has taken from sacks nor can he pump-fake so well, he fakes the camera. Ben will never have the stats that Brees will have but thats what he might only be remembered for, you can say Brees is second to Peyton but Peyton is 2nd to Roethlisberger who is 2nd to Brady.Being great like peyton & brees dont win U superbowls
dont take this the wroung way but your speaking out your ass i mean if he was drafted by any other team but the saints {i love the saints and am glad they took him}he would have won a super bowl
Peyton manning should ahve joined the saints too
oh ya if the saints had a D-fence back than he could have led them to a super bowl
Or if he had great players to play with, I guess he might of gone to the Superbowl.
I feel bad for archey manning, playing for a shitty team(no offense Saints fans) but Peyton takes after Archeys face because I ot a newspapaer with archey in his uniform back when he still played
Daints JHall of Fame...Not in the NFL hall of fame
@Dergie14 number 1 QBis joe montana .>
yeah i remember he ran like he hat shit in his pants but he had hands like glue n he could take bad hits all day long
@PITTSBURGHFANFOREVER take it from someone whos dad played with archie.....he was a great college football player..his name in college carried him as a good pro football player...billy kilmer was way better however....any saint that played with archie will tell you that...my dad doug wyatt #23
sad that archie manning has come out against his state flag,what a sad sack he now is
