1977 Week 2 - This Is The NFL

[@curtispatton2415]

Harry Kalas’ voice is so legendary aw man I miss these highlights

[@jkorshak]

I work in baseball and before Harry passed away, I used to see him at the ballpark when the Phillies came to town. We'd sit out on the back deck by the pressbox and talk baseball. Great guy and I miss him. I see his son, Todd almost every game and work in the same booth. RIP Harry - Legend.

[@80sFootballCards]

Harry was the greatest! They still play a video of him on the big screen after every Phillies win in Philly. 🥲

[@jkorshak]

@@80sFootballCards I almost went to Philly for the WS with the Astros but my car got broken into and I had to stay to get that taken care of. It worked out because the game I would have gone to was game 3 where the Phillies crushed the Astros. Seeing Harry up on the board would have been a very pleasant surprise. If I ever get to Citizens Bank for a game I'll look for it. Very cool. Also, his son Todd is a great guy. Real pleasure sharing the booth with him.

[@mixedhairless]

So glad to lived and watched the NFL back then.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Same here better times in my opinion.

[@RafaelSale]

To me this era of the NFL was way better than today.

[@christhornton8219]

I love these old shows! Listen to that music. The narration. Nostalgia!

[@jacktorrance2633]

I was 7 and loved watching football. Take me back!!

[@markcausey5276]

Great memories, love the music !

[@arthurbishop3173]

Same here!!

[@MrZAPRUDER]

Mark and Arthur, you should pick up the box set “Autumn Thunder”….

[@RichardSleyster]

Raiders vs Steelers in the ‘70s was as brutally physical as it gets!!!!!

[@robfalter2522]

the championship game in jan 76 played at three rivers was one of the 2 most physical games i have ever seen. the other being the giants-49ers nfc championship game in jan 91

[@arrowdave646]

Sound was cutoff at the end

[@mongoslade277]

Who won that game?? No sound. I don't think that's a coincidence

[@JustJeph33]

Of course not. So i just audiolised ( in my mind) Facenda calling it..

[@JustJeph33]

​@@mongoslade277does Franco look hpy? Of course the Raiders won. Basically took Noll's offense apart, piece by fkng piece

Man that 70s muzak soundtrack with the highlights and Kalas narration is groovy...😁😁

[@jamesdavis6036]

I believe this came on Saturday or Sunday morning. My friends & I, all 20 of us would watch it then go to 56th street park in Brooklyn NY. We had equipment on with our favorite teams helmits & jerseys. We would then choose up & kill each other. Great days!

[@jessehaskell1397]

Nice to see when players weren’t acting like fools.

[@wb6162]

Or like big millionaire babies pouting because the QB doesn't throw their lazy overpaid asses the ball enough.

[@JohnHoffman-ws9cd]

Yes I agree! Today's players act like damn fools!! I really don't like watching football today. It is not the same game.

[@davidmitchell6873]

Back when your life had promise.

[@kessel12]

Been watching a lot of these week in review shows recently and I never realized the level of Harry Kalas’s casual snark.

[@kenepperson904]

That was good hard football in those days.

Why isn't Kenny Anderson in the HOF?

Greatest NFL voice

[@Zorn76]

Those BEAUTIFUL Seahawks, Falcons, and Bengals (yes) uniforms.

[@backbay2242]

I love those old Bengals unis even though they're pretty plain.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yeah I miss them too, also the Broncos, Eagles, Patriots, Oilers, Chargers and Dolphins too.

[@Zorn76]

@@frankrizzo4460 Those inaugural Denver uniforms were beautiful. The Oilers were fun to watch with Campbell;)

[@starterdc27]

This was as close as we got to ESPN in the 70s... Loved this show and narrator!! 2nd to Howard Cossel..

[@kwaichangshane122]

@free1417 John Facenda?

[@starterdc27]

​@kwaichangshane122 I googled Facenda never heard of him or remembered his voice but read he was labeled as the voice of the NFL.

[@louporreca3795]

Watching this makes you realize these guys were real football players...this was pro football...70s 80s best football EVER

[@559043]

that old Astroturf had to be so unforgiving, i can remember listening with my brother to lon simmons on the 49ers radio network

[@dustylover100]

I miss these shows.

[@markcausey5276]

1977 Tony D rookie year, great memories !!

[@davidwormell6609]

Shame there is no sound for the final few minutes

[@arthurbishop3173]

Agreed, esp for a Steelers vs Raiders match up.

[@Zorn76]

I had to check my volume

[@russbeard3665]

Love after the Cardinals score at 14:20, the guy on the sideline runs and jumps in the Cardinal-mobile for a victory lap😆

[@DuaneSanders-d3e]

Those horns in the Vikings highlights

[@patrickcolon8809]

So what if nobody outside of Denver thinks they're for real......by mid-season, we all knew that they were. It didn't come out of nowhere though, as they had gone 9-5 the previous season prior to the acquisition of Craig Morton. Morton replacing Steve Ramsey may have been the biggest difference which vaulted them from 9-5 in 1976 to 12-2 in 1977.

[@arthurbishop3173]

Well put-agreed.

[@michaelleroy9281]

After 17 seasons the Broncos finally had it going this year

[@russbeard3665]

I was at every game that year in the old Mile High, Denver was finally on the map!!

[@frankrizzo4460]

I miss their old uniforms, go Orange Crush🐎

[@rodburner-hz8db]

The acquisition of Morton was significant. What I really wished the team could've kept was Max Coley as OC and Jerry Frei as the O-line coach. The work they did in '73 was beyond remarkable. Had that '73 team not lost to Oakland in the last game of the year the Broncos would have won the AFC-W outright. Probably would have kept John Ralston as HC as well. Its not that I hated Robert "Red" Miller, I just didn't think he was a very good adjustment type of coach; whether it be during the game along the sidelines or after the half, but especially on the offensive side of the ball for the offensive line. The biggest hurdle cleared, as far as what vaulted the '77 team to uncharted territory was the switch to the 3-4 defense that had to be done in '76 when Alzado went down with a knee injury. That allowed for one of the greatest linebacking corps to fully come to fruition in '77: Gradishar, Jackson, Rizzo, and Swenson. In fact, that entire Orange Crush defense was spectacular, SB-XII withstanding (our offense hung that great defense out to dry that game). That third week out in Oakland at the OAC proved Joe Collier's brilliance as a DC; but, everyone that Ralston drafted from '72-'76 on defense as a high draft pick, that made the team, was/were damn good.

[@MisterGoblin65]

I loved this show as a kid...never missed it...the NFL isn't the same any longer...not sure if its a improvement?

[@greatlakesram9662]

LOL! Typical Silverdome; brawls in the stands and trash in the end zone. Everyone in that end must have jettisoned their Noms and started throwing hands😂

[@MatthewBaumgarten]

Those Good ol Oilers if Bum Phillips, great highlights

[@jefffuller9918]

Real football.

[@mikefagan6840]

The NFL WAS great when real MEN played.

[@Xlc_Royal17]

They’re still real men today just the rules make it seem like they’re not

[@SS-th9wz]

Silly to see how many of these 1970s videos showed TDs that never counted because there was a penalty on the play. LOL.

[@timothykozlowski2945]

Why no voice during the Steelers and Raiders.

[@jrm2383]

[@BobbyJackson-up7gb]

Anyone knows the name of the tune of the Cowboys and Giants highlights of 1977 It reminds me of Calgary, Alberta

This was the year of the Cowboys.

[@pork123100]

sound stopped near end. i miss harry karris and his voice made football that much better.

[@cad4060]

I just wondered if there were any, “back when football was real and men were men!” comments. 🙄

[@Xlc_Royal17]

Yeah I’m looking for them rn💀 it’s crazy because people that watch the NFL today always praise the NFL in the 70’s but these old heads always hating on everything new bro things gotta change

[@KahlillMyers-vc8oy]

Sean McVay’s grandfather is in this video as the coach of the New York Giants…John McVay. It’s in the blood.

Ah, the great days of the NFL, before the current garbage we witness

[@luisramos6139]

I was 18 years old, the good old times. A true NFL football. Today is pure endorsements and big commercials while the games are going. Paying millions of dollars to very mediocre players.

interestingly this video does not include the Monday night match up between the Browns and the Patriots which proved to be an epoch shootout

[@jeffs3752]

The '77 Falcons defense was as good as anyone - look it up. But their offense was so bad they went 7-7.

[@shawdowsanddust5301]

129 points given up / 9.2 points per game. A record that will never be eclipsed.

Not whining pre Madonna's making millions complaining to the refs about an offensive offsides penalty. (Crybaby Mahomes)

[@davidshane6230]

The opening sequence where the players are standing in a single line facing the flag during the playing of the National Anthem is a scene you don't see today. That's why I don't watch NFL games now. The policy regarding the Anthem today is too loose.

[@arthurbishop3173]

Some bitch about the 70s, esp the gas lines, oil embargo, Watergate, Vietnam, and Jimmy Carter, but America was still more united then than now. The last few decades have seen it broken apart, with the internet making it worse with misformation, selfishness, and Americans lack of critical thinking.

+@@arthurbishop3173 You are so correct sir. Thank You! 21st century Sucks!

[@arnoldsanders6878]

That part was never televised. So you're missing something you would have had to be at the game to see.

[@jakeburleigh2032]

ok boomer

[@donadams9099]

You need to wake up to what’s happening in this country, and acknowledge that not standing for the flag, or protest against what’s going on in this country has nothing to do with a lack of patriotism, or a lack of love for this country. It is simply a demonstration of the inequities and injustice that exist in this country that obviously people like you refuse to accept. And before you start with your love it, or leave it rhetoric, there are certain liberties that we all as Americans should be entitled to, but not all Americans are entitled to the liberties that you may benefit from so you leave the country people like you and Donald Trump, who want to deny people their rights and their existence in this country should leave leave it to the Native Americans and you go back to some European country or wherever Your ppl came from.

[@keithpeterson6108]

​ @dutdut2.091 He's talking about toughness. The guys from back in the day were both mentally & (as a result) a physically tougher group of guys. ....& don't let the slow motion fool you. There are a TON of players who would still be allstars even if they played in today's game. However, there are some star players of today who would struggle in the NFL of yesteryear.

[@chrisgatewood3161]
