1970 - Cardinals at Lions (Week 12) - Enhanced Partial CBS Broadcast - 1080p/60fps

I've enhanced the 1970 Week 12 Cardinals at Lions partial broadcast that exists. I've upscaled the picture to 1080p with Topaz, and also denoised and double the framerate. I used Resolve to adjust contrast and to color-correct the picture, which had a greenish hue to it. It still isn't gonna win first prize in the color department, but it's better than it was. Color doesn't pop in this one, which I believe to be a product of the stadium and the cameras that day. My thanks to romelovesdan for providing the DVD files used for this project.

[@dgoto90]

Are you happy with Topaz Resolve software, I have seen but not used them Thanks

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

Well I've enhanced over 125 games now with the software, so I must think pretty highly of it :) Has performed much better than expected for me. I use it to upscale these 480p games to 1080p, to double their framerate from 29.97fps to 59.94, to sharpen, and to 'revert' and eliminate compression artifacts, which it does a fabulous job of. And after I do all that, I take the end result into the free version of Da Vinci Resolve and perform the color and contrast adjustment, as well as the editing portion. Those two programs working in tandem often produced stunning results compared to the original source.

[@orbyfan]

This game was played on December 6, 1970. It's odd to see both benches on the same side of the field. I miss the days when players wore capes on the sideline, the screen wasn't constantly cluttered with graphics, announcers didn't feel the urge to fill every second with talk, and your ears weren't bombarded with crowd noise for the entire game. Love those ground-level replays!

[@alphabarre9096]

I agree with most of that, but a scoreboard at minimum is very nice to have. Adds so much more context, and people just tuning in are immediately caught up.

[@trowwzers5057]

I also noticed NFL teams in the 70’s runs obsolete formations like Wing-T, Bone, Offset and Near formations. They don’t run a lot of Gun. NFL today, it’s either Singleback or Shotgun and offenses today are much more aggressive

[@kchall5]

I like how the players weren't woofing and gyrating wildly after every somewhat decent play they made. They just returned to the huddle and got back to business.

[@bobt5778]

Isn't it disgusting? Now after an interception the entire defense runs all the way to the end zone to perform a rehearsed routine. I'm 64 yrs. old and am sick of it.

Lousy camera angles, limited instant replay, mediocre kickers/punters, QB’s completing half their passes. There are a lot of drawbacks. Trust me, I grew up in this era and the level of play is so much better today.

Alex Karras, Mike Lucci, Paul Naumoff, Wayne Walker, Lem Barney, Dick LeBeau, Mike Weger on defense.

@@alfrednawrocki8061wasn’t it Munson who missed McCullough at the end? Dallas picked off the pass. It deflected off the arms of McCullough, as the pass was too high. Detroit was at the 28. I do believe that was their deepest penetration for the entire game. Horrible way to lose 5-0!

I was at this game. Born in Detroit. Grew up in Farmington hills 11 mile and middle belt.

[@Stratman78]

You were very close to where my late aunt lived. She lived on Rocky Crest, just east of Orchard Lake Road (in-between 10 & 11 Mile Road). She bought the house for $36,000 back in May 1971, and I do believe she paid cash. And that was way before I-696 was built. I remember going there with my mom &'grandmother in the early-mid 80's when I was a kid, and I-696 was being constructed. It seemed like an eternity driving from Warren (10 Mile & Groesbeck area) to my aunt's house. She was the second owner. My aunt wanted to keep the house in the family. Everyone thought that her husband, who was in poor health, was going to pass away first. In a shocking twist, my aunt passed in February 2011 at the age of 80. Her husband made my uncle & his wife the head of his estate. When the husband died in June 2012 at the age of 82, my uncle had his family take all the valuables & immediately put the house up for sale 2 1/2 months later for $125,000. The house sold for $115,000 in early November 2012 & my uncle took the money & ran. 😟 Still, that area is nice.

This brings back a bunch of memories. There's a good chance that I watched this game with my dad. I definitely remember the Cardinals with Jim Hart and the Lions with Greg Landry as QB. Both teams had a lot of potential. Fun bits of the NFL's past show up in this video - the old stadium, uniforms, helmet faceguard styles, straight-on kickers, goal post in the endzone, Boston Patriots, all the officials wearing white hats, etc... Thanks for doing this and sharing!

[@TheOldTapeArchive]

Thanks for the upload. Two teams from fast declining midwestern cities. Detroit was still the nation's 5th largest city in 1970 at 1.5M, though nobody in the stadium would forsee the rate of its coming collapse (ranked 29th and 620K today). 5 years later they'd flee the city for the Pontiac Silverdome, eventually returning in 2002. Since this game, the Lions success on the field has matched that of its city....abysmal. But as I type this, they're 9-3, for their best 12 game start since 1962. I'm pulling for them and the city.

[@jeremiahwasabullfrog957]

Amazing. No one danced after a sack, I N T. Or just a tackle. What the hell has has happened to NFL? It's unwatchable after every play. The players of that era would kick the ass of today's players no matter how much bigger they think they are. Hands down. All prima Donnas. Every play is dance. Not for me. NFL has gone sour.

[@bobt5778]

Today's players are a lot bigger and faster because of superior training, medical care and diet. But many have little or no professionalism like these guys did. I almost can't watch today's game either.

[@tomlewis8656]

Thank you for this gem. I was at this game and have said many times it was by far the coldest game I ever attended. I was 13 years old and we sat in center field upper deck bleachers. In addition to the north wind blowing openly behind us, the bleachers were covered in snow and ice from an Alberta clipper the night before. My friend and I kept asking his Dad for a shot of whiskey he had cause it was so cold. He did not oblige and we were miserable. Except for the win! Other observations: Field conditions were obviously horrible. Referees were very generous with spots back then and man oh man did these defenses hit that day. And Wayne Walker chasing down a receiver 70 years downfield? Also...Lions had Mel Farr, Altie Taylor and Steve Owens in the same backfield? Imagine if Nick Eddy dd not get hurt.

I was at this game as a 10 year old with my dad. His season tickets were in the lower deck directly behind the goal posts in left field. We were way back at about row BB as I recall. It got cold under there. The other odd thing is you couldn't see most of a punt because the upperdeck blocked any ability to see the sky. Fondest of memories with my Dad.

It's like three fourths the way thru and I gotta tell ya it may be an optiggable illusion as Tigger would say, but I swear all those players look bigger, than contemporary players. Either that or the field is smaller... huh!?! Also you can tell right off this is the day when it was, "Three downs and a cloud of dust." All and I mean all, the running plays never SEEM to get more than three yards. I know it's not all that way, but it is the vast majority. And again, the halfback's are bigger slash taller and or never bother to put their shoulders down. On an upside you can see the Lions sure have had a lot of Luck with players named Sanders. But in that era it was Lem Barney all the way - always making the big plays - WOW! Overall tho, I'm gonna say it: I can't see any difference, or any substantial difference between the 1970 Lions and the 2020 Lions. Except for a few blips on the radar like C. Sanders in the 90s or C. Johnson in and around 2010, Stafford too - the Lions stayed their same old mediocre for fifty straight years.

Good question. I'm confused too, but I've seen similar things in those early games. I tried looking up the clock rules from 1970 but had no luck.

This was the beginning of the best time in NFL football, probably in the 70s. Players could actually hit other players and there was no instant replay. Technology has damaged football a bit. But the NFL just trusted the refs to make the right calls and usually they did. Refs messed up sure but it was part of the intrigue.

[@cl5619]

Refs made calls when there was no instant replay for millions of people to see if they were the right call or not. Of course you trusted the refs back then. Players were tougher back then and would brutalize current players if we had a time machine to set up a game. But today’s players are much, much faster and more skilled and would blow the doors off the old time team in the passing game.
