[@Thebrothaisback]

Come on. Any HD broadcast from 20 years ago will look as it was. This was oversaturated in color, but the original broadcast source tape should look better. Videotape even from the 50's had about 480 lines and UK pal had 625. Direct source tapes would look even better. The difference between old NTSC and hd is analog, color, brightness and resolution vs digital - which keeps it as was, precise color, brighter picture and of course - more detail. Yes, analog is worse now, buy wuen viewed on a high quality tube tv, it looked good. So 36 years ago vs 20 years ago is still old, bit the tech makes the difference, not age. Final example. Film recorded material from the 1930's, can look way better than this or even 4k due to the raw nature and great light of film. Digital has its limitations while film is only limited in frame rate.

I met Tony Dorsett at Walter Reed in 2005. Got to spend time with him. He would try to connect with you. I don’t know if he ever played against my school back in the day but he said he did a couple times and the one thing he hated-they hit him hard and one of very few times held under 100 yards. He asked who I thought he wanted to play for coming out of college-told him that is too easy...you wanted to play for the Steelers. He asked how did I know that-your from West PA, no one else anyone would want to play for except the Steelers. I explained Dan Marino wanted to play for the Steelers...but we drafted Mark Malone in the first round. He asked me how I felt about him. “Best bounce passer since Magic Johnson.” Fun had by all.

[@ajax203showme]

Amazing how this still brings out feelings of dooom as a then 13 yr. old "America's team" Cowboys fan living in Connecticut. You could see this was the beginning of the end of a great run by Coach Laundry. One '85 divisional playoff loss proceeded this '83 stinker and by '88 Coach Laundry retired following a 3-13 season. I bet many fans felt that way about this game, maybe even "the catch" game.

Watching this reminds me that I have never seen someone run that fast effortlessly since. Even the current Rams RB Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson are not able to do this. Yes they are plenty fast,but you can see it takes a huge effort from them to be fast.Many strides needed to run the distance. Eric was fast without appearing to even be trying. Count how few strides he needed to cover 40 yards , just amazing.

[@ChicagoJ351]

There are a couple interesting things about this game. First, you have 2 of the all time great running backs going at it in Dickerson and Dorsett. At the time dorsett was already a legend, but many great backs came after him so you don’t hear his name as much. But when he retired, Jim brown and Payton were probably the only backs in front of him on the all time list. Randy white was another beast of a player. You hear more about recent players these days, but the guy was a force to be reckoned with. This was also the historic season for the 85 bear defense. The bears destroyed Dallas in the regular season and shut down Dickerson and the rams in the playoffs to go on to win the super bowl vs the patriots.

[@WaltGekko]

This is when the Cowboys were declining as the team was getting old and Landry was too inflexible about switching out of the "flex" defense that had become obsolete by then. Landry probably would have been forced to retire after the 1987 season except the strike gave him three extra wins he likely doesn't get without his main team going up against replacement players (Cowboys were 4-8 in non-strike games that year), keeping him there for 1988 and at that point, if Jerry Jones had not bought the Cowboys until later, '89 and some felt Rozelle should have stepped in and made clear the NFL would not approve the sale to Jones unless he agreed to let Landry coach in '89 so the NFL could do a "farewell tour" with Landry while Jimmy Johnson prepared to take over in 1990.

[@magovenor]

As a younger man when I lived in Los Angeles when the Rams no longer played in the Coliseum, but they still broadcasted their games, the buzz was that there was two things to look forward to, 1., the new coach formally from the USC Trojans, John Robinson, known for his running offense, and 2., the drafting of Eric Dickerson. I had no idea who either was until I watched Dickerson run, and then later understood how they set up the run offense. Outstanding !

That was the best for a kid so cool. Mom was a Rams fanatic. She one time got so caught up on a Rams TD she jubilantly swung her purse and smacked this big man's hat off his head when he turned around to confront the situation I said " When she gets excited lookout for her purse it happens to me Abunch" Thank God he was a Rams fan and mom apologied and bought him a bag of peanuts and a beer. She was a die hard fan Rams, Dodgers til she passed. Sure sold me on the Rams to this day and I'm 68 now. We even saw Kolfax pitch a perfect game. My wife was a Boston fan with the same temperament for Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins. She really rubbed it in about the Patriots dynasty. When the Rams lost to the Patriots in Superbowl she really twisted my leg. When the Rams won with Kurt the Superbowl she was really happy for me and our kids cuz they really loved the Rams. Sports is the best when your whole family gets into it. Togetherness for us was always swimming. she and her twin sister were in National Championship competition. They both joined the Navy exchanging what could be to serve and then getting married. Man I've been the luckiest man with our kids. Mom passed year and a half ago God Bless Her Heart and Soul. Sports were so big in our lives. We even had dinner in Vegas with Buster Douglas and his wife a month after he beat Tyson. That was one of our many thrills her favorite song was Bill Withers JUST THE 2 OF US. She said their are no losers in sports just quitters. You got to love both teams cuz it takes 2 to be 1

Coach Robinson was always on him in practice because he didn't think he was running at full speed. "Eric we're running this at full speed now." "Coach I AM running full speed." After the run against the Jets, Robinson realized that he was running at full speed in practice he just didn't LOOK like he was. He has a couple more runs: In 1984, at Tampa Bay and another when he was with the Colts on a Monday night vs. Denver. The whole Denver secondary has angles to tackle him and he blows right throw them all untouched. Darrell Green was the only player to ever really chase him down from behind when he was in the clear.

[@dwightlove3704]

+bbigjohnson069 Yes Darrell Green used his world class footspeed in the 100m 10.08 to catch not only Dickerson but JERRY RICE&TONY DORSETT as well.

We said if Dickerson would have run more toward the goal posts on that play he would have scored but it wasn't that close. Green caught him at the 16 yd. line. So he had a ways to go still. I was going to say he didn't catch Ron Brown on a kickoff return the following year (1987) but I don't know if Green played on kick coverage or not. Usually starters don't.

A rare home game televised. The Raiders and Rams home games were rarely shown locally.

[@mgb4692]

First and only time to date both LA teams were at home on a playoff weekend--better yet this coming the week after both the Giants and Jets hosted the respective wildcards which is the only time THAT'S happened

[@kidmack1121]

I had forgotten that.

[@paulsonj72]

@@mgb4692 That is why in 1985 the wild card games were played on separate days. Both the Jets and Giants were hosting so they had to go on separate days. For three seasons in a row the wild card games were on separate days.

To this day Dickerson's Performance remains the single greatest game I ever saw by a running back. Completely dominated Dallas on the ground

[@kidmack1121]

My vote for the greatest that I witnessed would either be Anthony Davis vs Norte Dame, or Marshall Falk vs BYU (AKA: oh no he's back again game) If you make me pick a pro game; Roger Craig in SB19

[@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs]

This was Tom Landry's final playoff appearance and they got murdered! Dickerson was so fluid in his running style, almost looks like he's coasting instead of running. Those L. A. Rams years he was unbelievable. The Cowboys were so past their prime; the Ram o-line pushed them around all game.

[@renegade5872]

happens my rams were great from 99 to 2003 since then we've been below. 500. hopefully it changes soon

[@mitologico18]

from 99 to 2001 they were maybe the best 3-year team i've had ever seen¡ I´m not a rams fan but superbowl & new orleans losses still hurts me because they were by far the best nfl team those years¡

[@hoss73ford]

This wasn't too long after they were annihilated by the Bears 44-0 (watched on YT yesterday) Danny White got constantly hammered in that game and was likely not fully healthy., among other things.

[@bbigjohnson069]

That they did. Some plays there was no hole but he still got 5 yards just from the Rams O-line moving them out.

[@conni70]

that Rams' O line was one of the best in football...they're a big reason ED had such a great start to his career..but they didn't have a good QB to compliment the running game, so the play action game was basically neutralized...which would always hurt them in the playoffs ( except this game)..the Rams wasted Henry Ellard's first few seasons in the league, by not having a good QB

[@bbigjohnson069]

Like it was a shock? They haven't made the playoffs since 2004, had a winning season since 2003. They had 5 losing seasons b4 going to St. Louis and everyone was saying how bad they were. And they were. They left and only a few cared. But then roll out the welcome mat for a team with 12 losing seasons in a row???? Hilarious.

Dickerson played at SMU in Dallas, where I was one of many medical soft goods suppliers to the team. He was huge when I saw him there. Wonder what he's up to now, him & Dorsett?

[@tomsanchez3733]

Wow, the cowboys still had a lot of players on that team that were on some of those 70’s Super Bowls.

[@stephenh5944]

Yeah, they were definitely getting old at that point, and the team hadn't been doing well getting new talent. They were still competitive through the 80s, but never elite.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Yeah that was a big part of the problem...

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

you can see a lot of Dickerson's running style in today's running backs probably because they grew up either watching him or knowing of him as a legend from past football battles. I'm an Oakland fan but I'm glad that the Rams are back in Cali where they belong.

[@robertruffin2858]
