1978 NFL Week 10 Dallas at Miami

[@dougdonaho]

Thanks for these 70’s football games. Takes me back to my favorite time in life. I’d give anything to go back. I grew up just outside of Dallas and was a huge Cowboys fan. Those away blue uniforms were the best of all time! In the early 70’s I’d get the blue uniform every Christmas. I know I got a Drew Pearson one year and Rodger Staubach another year. Can’t remember the other ones. Landry & Shula were 2 of the best coaches ever. They defined Class!

If he had a opinion that he felt was relevant he was saying it. If you didn't agree or like it well in his eyes too bad. Was it right? Not really BUT it's NOT my place to judge him either. I will say while I am not a big fan, he did do it the way he wanted to. So I do somewhat respect him. I mean even Cassius Clay or Mohammad Ali respected Howard Cosell. Cosell's style has been described as brassy, blustery, arrogant, obnoxious, pompous, cruel, vain, and verbose, but he NEVER changed for anyone. So while I didn't agree with him I do respect that he had the balls and convictions to be heard.

@@markjohnson9455 Wow, that's an interesting question and a long answer. To me the most serious deterioration started to turn the day Jimmy Johnson left Dallas in 1994. Previous to that, they'd been in seven AFC Championship games between 1971 and 1992 and were probably the best team in the AFC in 93 before injuries ruined the season. In 94 they were still pretty good, but whispers of JJ replacing Shula undermined what they were doing. They were playoff teams in 94 and 95, but the pressure to turn to JJ was too great to overcome. JJ drafted well on defense, but not on offense. His record was decent, but he was not a stable influence on the franchise. He feuded with Marino and quit on the team twice, yet was allowed to choose his own successor. Wannstedt was a decent game preparation coach, but drove the personnel into the ground. We tried another talented celebrity coach in Saban, but he proved to be unstable as well...quitting on the team and leaving them in ruins. We tried another unstable celebrity in Parcells, but he quit on the team too. I guess I said all that to say that pushing Shula out has changed the Dolphins from a team that averaged 10 wins a year and went to the playoffs 2 out of every 3 years into a team that averages 7 wins a year.

I am inclined to agree with you. Many love today's game and that is fine. It is all a matter of preference. The game changed in the 80's. I enjoyed it more when you really had to work to score a TD. It was worth celebrating. Now it isn't such a big deal unless it is late in the game.

L.I. Schooner Let’s see for starters less commercials. Plus less roughing the passer penalty’s. Do away with a penalty for a hit on a defenseless receiver. Last I checked they are padded up and wearing a helmet. I know safety is part of the program now. I get it. But it’s a violent sport.

[@primateproductions126]

L.I. Schooner Sorry I just described what I don’t want in the NFL. But I wish they would go back to playing the game just on Sundays and Mondays. Do away with Thursday night football. When you’re waiting almost a week for the games to be played, the anticipation builds up more and it makes it more special.

[@Bruce12867]

Watch the highlights of Super Bowl VIII...Some of the Dolphins were wearing the original dolphin logo on their helmets, while others, particularly the linemen, had the new (at the time) logo.

[@dantheman5745]

@@danyluk1 You'd have to ask Griese that. I imagine, being a QB, he was very precise and wanted everybody "on the same page" in every possible way. Could you imagine a Broncos RB today using the old "D" decals with the bucking/snorting horse? Might annoy a team leader that someone feels the need to march to the beat of their own drum. At any rate, if you read the notes under the Miami Dolphins helmet history on "The Helmet Project" site, you'll note this rather authoritative comment from site visitor "Bob G."... _"The team went back and forth between the "in the sun" and "out of the sun" logos between 1966 and 1969; sometimes I believe, within a season. Starting in 1970 they seemed to have settled with the "in the sun" logo, until from the final regular season game of 1973 (vs. Detroit) thru the playoffs, about half of the team (mostly lineman) started wearing the "out of the sun" version. Pictures which show both logos on the field at the same time come from this period. Please also note that this "out of the sun" logo is much smaller than the one worn in the '60s. In 1974, the Dolphins went back exclusively to the "out of the sun" logo. (One exception was running back Norm Bulaich, who played with the team around '75-'76, wore the "in the sun" logo, which drove me crazy)."_ Does that make any more sense now?

[@brianschocke9642]

@@danyluk1 Because Bob is always unhappy about something. I've seen him at several card shows, he is never smiling bordering on being rude and demeaning to people. Like that helmet made him throw to Bulaich any different. Can never prove it but if you switch teams between Archie Manning and Griese then their careers are completely switched on how they are looked at.
