1983 Week 8 SNF - Raiders vs. Cowboys

[@ArmandoXGG]

This was my dreamed Super Bowl back in those days! Two teams with their own true DNA 🧬, the good ones vs the bad ones. I watched on tv with my late dad.

[@osaji922]

It's my favorite NFL matchup. As long as the two teams have their wits about them and they're not going through a rough season, it's good. Their thanksgiving game from 3 years ago was great.

Great, high quality video. This was the only game my dad and I went to together. I was only 9 at the time, but remember it so well.

[@tracyisbest]

@justinuptonn261 That's because the Raiders were good, NOT GREAT. It's not some conspiracy theory or phenomenon that they didn't meet up with the Cowboys.. it's just that the Raiders fans spin how good they were. The boys were the Packers bitch in the late 60s. That explains that. They also got old in the early 80s. That's why Phil/SF/Wash were all better by then. That leaves the '70s for the two to meet up. Miami went to three sups and the Steelers to four. That about wraps the decade. Denver in '77? Better than the Raiders. The Colts in '70? Better than the Raiders. Ironically, the ONE super bowl in the '70s the Raiders did make, they shouldn't have because New England actually beat them until Ref Ball came into play. When U finally got there you could have met Dallas, Minn, or LA. U got the hapless Vikings. Again, thems the breaks. It's not some conspiracy or anything it's just fans get a narrative going and they beat it into the ground. NO! No Raiders/Cowboys super bowls. It was never the Very Good Bowl, it was the SUPER bowl. THAT'S why they never met.

[@osaji922]

@@tracyisbest Denver got lucky because of the Rob Lytle fumble. That was the one year it should have been Raiders and Cowboys and that would have been an absolute classic. Just as much as the Steelers and Cowboys super bowls in the 70s.

[@PlasticSausages]

Mike Haynes made that defense even stronger, but it had an incredible front 7. Kinlaw at Nose, Alzado and Long at the 3-4 End positions, Bob Nelson and Matt Millen inside, Kickem in the Head Ted and Rod Martin at outside linebackers. Then you had Greg Townsend and Bill Pickel coming in for 3rd down and Long moving around the front. It really was a great defense. Marc Wilson really was an enigma; he did not seem to read in front of throws well and often ended up getting intercepted, it was a shame how his career went.

[@sukhastings4200]

The mad stork Hendricks was still there, as well as Matt Millen. Raiders might not have lost a game that entire season except for inconsistent QB play.

After viewing a number of these old games for a few years now, I feel the best ones are those from the regular season schedule. Unlike many of the playoff games we choose to watch, we often know what team is going to win, due to the fact we really followed the league back in those days. Unless we have Data like memory or a handy time portal, we can enjoy these regular season games from start to finish as if it was yesterday; just as long as we don't dare look at the comments right away. This game was truly one of a kind. I've seen a few others that were also the complete unedited broadcast from the booth. Like a few comments noted, this was epic in itself. A person could write a small book of NFL trivia from this game alone. One for the record books alright.

There were actually several just-misses between the Raiders and Cowboys. In 1970, Dallas made it to Superbowl 5, but the Raiders lost in the AFC Championship game. In 1973, both teams lost in their respective championship games. In 1975, Dallas made it again, but the Raiders lost in the AFC Championship game again. 1977's Lytle fumble has been well-documented. In 1980, the Raiders made it to the Superbowl, but Dallas lost in the NFC Championship game to the Eagles.

Yes, football is the ultimate team game, especially given the fact that in this particular game, several Hall of Famers are on display for both teams. But look at the difference between the two starting QB's. Jim Plunkett won two super bowls with the Raiders, while Danny White, even though he was a very good QB, unfortunately had the stigma of not being able to take Dallas to the Super Bowl. Remember, Danny went 0 and 3 in three straight NFC Championship Games from 1980 through 1982. But Danny is a college football Hall Of Famer. Arizona State Sun Devils, you make Tempe proud, Danny !

At least he won a ring in SB XIII as a punter and Staubach's backup. Unfortunately for White the Cowboys were just not quite good enough in those three years, they were probably the second or third best team in the league each time.

Something about a Raider v Cowboys in the SB always seemed epic and magical. Too bad it never happen. Was close a couple times. The Broncos beat the Raiders in 1977. Had the Raiders got past the Broncos in 1977 it would have been a Raider v Cowboys Sb in 1977. A Raider v Cowboy in 1977 would have been far more competitive and probably been one of the better Super Bowls. Probably would have been a close, down to the wire game, with one of the teams pulling it out in the end. One of those Super Bowls, that would have been sort of a cult classic, with both teams probably having mutual respect. The Raiders probably would leave the game as fans of Staubach, and there would have been all kinds of memorable plays. Kind of reminded me of liking some gal in high school, but for some reason it just wasn’t meant to be.

Idk why but all of the sudden.....I wanna drive my Buick, while drinking a Budweiser, over my local Comadore retailer and buy myself a new home computer.....

the way the cowboys opened the 83 season. the way they beat the redskins and went 7 and 0 i thought a hundred percent for sure they were going to the super bowl it was so shocking and dissapointing the way they ended the season losing the wild card game

[@latkagravas986]

Those last 3yrs the D was becoming like SD defense in the early 80s (High powered Fouts and Co covered for it). Dallas D, expecially media did not care or talk about - cause of their Fn brand. OAK, was hitting and kicking on both sides as if they were still in their cell.

Not guilty,you live in America doucebag

Great game, although the commentary was pathetic. So slow and constantly calling the wrong players. It was hard to follow who was actually playing with these 3 talking. IDK if if was the way they did it back in the 80's, but I am SO glad for professional announcers instead of these former players/talking heads. BTW, kudos on the high quality video. 3 thumbs up !

[@rebeccawormell7832]

I much prefer the commentaries from the 70's and 80's. Tony Romo commentating will always make me turn off. But you are totally right about the calling of the wrong players.

[@mongoslade277]

Gifford was a good play by play man. Even when Howard Cosell was in the booth he let Frank Gifford do the play by play. "Dandy" Don Meredith was there to be a character. No comment on the 3rd person in the booth

[@jasonnacci4091]

1:59:15 Staubach stops by to rib Gifford.

[@jeremiahrose4681]

That is so funny, they talked about one day it would be nice if they can "mic" the players.....well....

[@tmac29nyc]

Rest Easy JUICE!

I'm here for the comments.

[@latkagravas986]

I wanted to see if graphic Viewer Warning was attached to this clip...'OJ'😆

[@132indo]

OJ was sharp as a blade in the booth

[@steelermia]

1:51:42 winners play to win .. ya gotta take risks to be great

[@DC----be1ld]

Satellite feeds are incredible! I have never heard a MNF before. Is this OJs first game? It has got to be. Him and Namath were really bad. I remember this game like yesterday . It was the week after the Green Bay Washington epic game. This was a Sunday Night Special game. 01:58 Frank is talking about how OJ is doing.

[@rawisdan]

Yes, back then watching the satellite feeds was awesome. Listening to the announcers talking amongst themselves and to others allowed you to hears some great sound bites.

[@JTWaters68]

Namath did the Monday night games that year if i recall correctly

[@44excalibur]

I hate to break it to Don Meredith, but the Cowboys would not go undefeated. They'd lose this game to the Raiders, 38-40, and go on to finish the season with a 12-4 record, losing the NFC East to the Redskins. The Cowboys would make the playoffs as the #4 seed wild card, but they wouldn't make it past the Wild Card game, losing to the Rams 24-17, while the Redskins would go on to win the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, 24-21, but lose to the Raiders, 38-9, in Super Bowl XVIII.

[@kevinbarry7475]

Marc Wilson looks like a tall Jerry Seinfeld

[@louio]

Cowboys/Raiders Super Bowl would be a causal fans dream

[@latkagravas986]

👍, the 77' season of both would had been it and WW lll

[@boxingjerapah]

I still love the LA Raiders !

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

My favorite player who never played for the Cowboys was #37;Lester Hayes.....we should have drafted him in 77 . Omg Lester and Everson with D.T. in the slot.... again we beat ourselves but we did not draft him because...he stuttered....Tom dud not think he would have the confidence as a Pro because Tim stuttered and struggled with confidence

[@kerrycoley6551]

For arm to the head the ref called 37:00 if the cowboys defender wouldn't did that today in a game against a qb they would had kick him out the game and gave him a million dollars fine time change smh
