Dallas Cowboys vs New York Jets 1978 1st Half Week 16 J.I.P.

[@seanhanley9942]

Thanks Richard. Late 1970's Jets home games blacked out. First time personally seeing, appreciating action.

[@MMB18abel]

Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier were not on this game because they did the National Saturday Game between Chicago and Washington.

[@cornucopiaofcool2144]

Real ballpark, sure do miss BIG SHEA.

[@brianwolf6166]

A good game for experience with Danny White, who will have to deliver against the Falcons in the playoff game ...

[@comfortat]

And he DID!!! Great comment.

[@ep1970]

Thank you for posting this game.....LOVE the old games!

[@cholder68]

My bro Bobby Jackson #40 for the Jets loved watching this!

[@comfortat]

He was a good ballplayer.

[@generationll]

No Jethro Pugh.Burgess Owens was traded to The Raiders where got a Super Bowl 15 ring.He is now a congressman from Utah.

[@bonanzabear288]

1978 is also the first season they went to a 16 game schedule and was the so called modern era I remembered w the "last place" schedule and rotating every 3 seasons playing the teams in each division from the other conference except the last place team from the yr before as I mentioned.

[@anthonydepinto269]

Wow bucket list.This game wasnt shown in NY. Giants at Eagles was

[@rustykuntz94]

Tony D It was rare when the Jets & Giants were on up against each other. Usually one would be on at 1 and the other at 4 if not the MNF game. Now the last few years they’re often on at the same time against each other

[@scottbrady7499]

man, you said it. i was attending Saint Ignatius College Prep in San Francisco. as this broadcast shows, the 49ers are busy in detroit against the tigers and THAT is what i was stuck with. as an avid jet fan, i followed the raiders, and hoped for jets or patriots or bills.

[@rustykuntz94]

Scott Brady You mean the Lions?

[@titojohnson7141]

Both were on CBS. Why would the NFL schedule this?

[@BT-be8rh]

All those turnovers and no one running to the end zone to pose and dance!!

[@iantisdale9253]

Rare game! Awesome get. Thank you!

[@frankdenardo8684]

Not playing at Texas Stadium

[@zziicckk01]

Great upload! This was Danny White's first starting game as a Dallas Cowboys QB. Danny was actually a better athlete than Roger, as he was faster and also excelled in baseball and basketball.

[@texasstadium]

Danny White was blamed for not getting the Cowboys to the Super Bowl but he didn't have quite as good a team as Roger Staubach. Especially on defense.

[@EnjoyingMyLife365]

Yeah ok.....😂 Staubach was the Capt. Of the Navy baseball team batted 420. And also lettered in basketball at Navy so I don't know where you are getting your information.

[@zziicckk01]

@@EnjoyingMyLife365 - Danny White starred in baseball, football, basketball and track and field. He was also drafted by 4 major league teams. Keep up :)

[@johnogrady696]

A strange match-up in the late 70s,they rarely played each other back then. The great Aikman,Emmitt,Irvin team played the Jets in NY in '93 and I think one other time. Seeing the Cowboys at Shea Stadium is very odd,but interesting. I think this was the first year the Jets went to this all green helmet and jersey that they kept into the 1990s.

[@Wgaither1]

John O'Grady Where’s Roger?

[@mjoven1975]

It is the first year of the all green helmets. This was the second and final time the Cowboys appeared at Shea to play the Jets. The Cowboys also faced the Jets back in 1975 at Shea

[@rustykuntz94]

mjoven1975 Cowboys also came to play the Jets at the Meadowlands in 87 (during the replacement/strike games), in 1990 when they both were on the last place schedule from the year before and also 1993.

[@rustykuntz94]

Jets went to these uni’s in 78 yes, 78-89 they wore these particular ones. Love the shade of green here along w the Jets “swoosh” on the helmet. From 1990-97 they went to a darker shade of green with a little black in the color scheme. Then in 1998 they went back to the Joe Namath era jerseys

[@frankdenardo8684]

@@mjoven1975 they played at Texas Stadium in 1971,1999, and 2007.

[@scottbrady7499]

interconference shown on cbs. nbc had afc games until the last game played with these helmets versus tampa bay in their new flag helmets in 1997. they won that. jimmy the greek talked athletic ability and its relationship to heredity before cbs lost the nfc. this is one wierd old broadcast. excellent copy for the day, if this is a private home edition. incredible!

[@bonanzabear288]

ANY games with the Jets @ Shea Stadium would be appreciated Richard. I saw you had the 83 Rams vs Jets game that was a great one. How about Falcons @ the Jets from 83? Jets blew a 21-0 lead in that one in the 2nd half. Billy WHITE SHOES Johnson returned a punt for a TD & Atlanta kicker Mick Luckhurst puts them ahead late w a FG & mocks the Marc Gastineau sack dance.

[@survivor5044]

I might have this one in my collection. Will post it later in the week along with a host of other classic games.

[@rustykuntz94]

Typical bad Jets memory uggh that was my first season watching football as a kid as I’ve said in other comments but oddly I would def watch that again here. Hope to see it Richard soon. 👍

[@TimEric4d3d3d3]

I haven't heard too many games where Tom Matte was the analyst but, here he was great. He was ahead of his time. I don't think a lot of analysts were very bright back then.

[@Hallrk63]

Matte was another game I watched on YT. He was a very good analyst. Gleiber was a good PBP man too. I'm sure I never saw this game. I watched as many Cowboy games as could back then but not all came on in Kentucky. Thanks for posting!

[@1085lm]

Fair to argue that most analysts of the period were day drinkers & were proud to be drunk on air. Made the experience worthwhile for viewers.

[@shanetrimble9265]

​​@@1085lmI love the announcers from this era but announcing was at the top of its game between 1983ish to around 2010. Went slowly down hill since and hard to listen to at all now

[@realMartinHamilton]

Very great to see this game. This was the first year of 16 games. Too bad Staubach wasn't the game. Where was he? Thanks for including the commercials. That brings back even more memories and makes it very realistic. I especially remember the Alcoa theme song and Alcoa can't wait slogan.

[@survivor5044]

The Cowboys most likely had nothing more to gain going into the playoffs. As a precaution, they decided to keep Roger out this game. One other thing, I'm glad the Alcoa commercial wasn't blocked because this has happened in the past.

[@comfortat]

Roger had several injuries during the season, including 2 concussions. He would get another one in the Atlanta playoff game. Had they needed him, he could have played. Check out that Atlanta playoff game in 1978. Roger got knocked out, and Danny White came on in relief. It's a classic! It's on youtube. Peace

[@MrJsmokes]

Always wanted the Dallas Cowboys to draft a full time punter. Danny put a lot of pressure on our Doomsday defense with a short field!

[@GrislyAtoms12]

Septien was one of the pioneers of "soccer style" field goal kicking

[@comfortat]

Um... not really. Pete Gogolak was the first, then Stenerud and Yapremian made it famous on good teams. Those are the pioneers. Toni Fritsch preceded Rafael as the Cowboys' first "sidewinder." That said, Septien was good, and he was in the first generation where almost every team used this style.

[@rickturner9346]

Nostalgic

[@texasstadium]

Fran Glieber passed away much too early. He was an excellent announcer.

[@sjames9005]

0:24 That entire New York/Jersey area is a flying trash heap.

[@bonanzabear288]

This was when the Jets were still at Shea Stadium in Queens NY. They moved to the Meadowlands in 1984 but get the point haha. Shea was located right off of Flushing Bay & LaGuardia airport so with a open stadium you had brutal winds for those Nov * December games plus the constant airplanes going over the stadium every 7-10 minutes.

[@JosePerez-vz1qq]

2:42 a preview of the Escort 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@vicepresidentmikepence889]

Nice video..America's team vs. the cowboys..go jets

[@nickbigmann5228]

Lol

[@GrislyAtoms12]

wishing won't make it so.

[@westpointsnell4167]

The jets were not America's team ,they sucked

[@earlmott5754]

Danny White was actually a good QB. Just couldn’t win the one to get to the SB.

[@isaacgreen3273]

Do you send links of games if I recommend some to you?

[@stardaddyo9]

Where was the Jets ground game? Pass pass pass early on

[@cumexpender9660]

Where's Richard Todd

[@cholder68]

he got hurt early that season, they mentioned it on the Jets first drive

[@kylecole9433]

Where's Staubach? Week 16. Must've been scrub week, resting the starters for the playoffs. Danny White wound up being the starter for another 10 seasons after Staubach retired.

[@stephenh5944]

Staubach was injured the prior week against the Eagles. It was actually a meaningful game, as a Cowboys win with a Rams loss would have given Dallas the #1 seed in the playoffs. The Rams won though, so they got the #1 seed.

[@DoubleStar92]

Any chance you have the 1988 cowboys at redskins, Richard?

[@stardaddyo9]

Jets fans never heard of a trash can.

[@michaeljordan6008]

Are the Jets the worst organization in the NFL, maybe the Browns?
