Pro footballs second greatest team during that period was the Oakland Raiders. Unfortunately for them, the greatest team in pro football was the Pittsburgh Steelers. No matter how the old Raiders grumble nothing can change the numbers. There is no magic Eraser. They were good. Even great. The Steelers were greater. Four Super Bowls to one. Chuck Nolls gridiron madterpiece.
I do to man. In my opinion the best rivalry in nfl history is the Cowboys Steelers rivalry. I'm a die hard Steelers fan and I despise the Cowboys but they've always been our toughest rival
Terrific video!! This is the rivalry I grew up on when I started following the NFL in the early '70s, I became a Raider fan because of this rivalry, Raiders - Steelers was as good as it got whether it was regular or postseason, They need to play again in the postseason soon to break a 3 all tie, Even today when they play each other it still looks and feels like the old days.
I too grew up in the 70's and became a Steelers fan, because my older brother was a Raiders fan. Lol. This rivarly was the reason I'm still a NFL fan to this day.
Well done. Love the black and gold and respect the black and silver. Like to see alternative POV. Not always pretty but seems like it’s always competitive. HERE WE GO STEELERS
I grew up on the 70s Raiders. I HATED the Steelers but the truth is that they were mirror images of each other. When Kenny Stabler passed away it was a bunch of old Steelers who pushed for him to the HOF. Mad Respect. If I ever end up in Pittsburgh I will find a sports bar roll in with my Stabler jersey and buy the house a round
I’m a Steelers fan from 1977 to present so I didn’t understand the animosity (due to my age then) from 1976. By 1980 I appreciated the Raiders & their “brand” & started learning about Al Davis. To this day I believe that the NFL didn’t want the Raiders, the old brand & the pirate symbol to represent the NFL & America in the 2001 season Super Bowl in the midst of 9/11. It’s also suspicious that the year after the “tuck rule” games they were pitted against their former coach in the SB. Not saying the games are rigged, just saying a referee could never lose his job back then for a bad call against the Raiders. And still you guys always play us tough & win plenty.
Huh they stopped the 2001 season due to the 9/11 not the fact they didn’t want the raiders to be in the super bowl, they didn’t want to face what happen to them earlier that year for the second time
In that '72 playoff game on the immaculate reception play #20 of the Raiders sure was a buttmunch. First he raises his arms up prematurely to celebrate, then he shows zero speed, and then he misses the tackle. All you had to do was stay alert and play hard to the whistle for one last play, but no, you decided not to. Paying attention for an extra second was too much to ask.
I think it was Neil Colzie. This is the problem with premature celebration. But it really would not have mattered if the Raiders had won. NO ONE was going to beat the Dolphins in the next game. The steelers were still 2 years away from greatness. The 1974 AFC Championship was their turning point. They beat the Raiders and then go on to win 4 SBs by the end of the decade. Looking at it from an objective viewpoint, the Raiders (as good as they were) were "built" for regular season success where you frequently played teams without strong pass defenses. But in the playoffs against dominant defenses like Pitt, Miami, KC, and Baltimore you saw what happened. They became "one-dimensional" with the zone defense taking away their strength. Look what happened in the 1973 AFC Championship. The Dolphins running game absolutely pulverized the Raider defense. In all fairness when your offense goes 3 and out and you hand the ball to Csonka and Kiick in 90 degree heat, you are a "dead man". As brilliant as Al Davis was at evaluating talent, his Achilles Heel was the deep passing game. Look what happened to Lamonica. He refused to change his style of play even knowing that the zone defense took away the long pass. In the NFL it is "adapt or die". I still believe in the 1974 playoffs if Miami had beaten the Raiders in Oakland, they would have beaten the Steelers the next week. It's all about match-ups and the Dolphins had one of the best offensive lines in the league (so did the Steelers for that matter). When you play the Steelers with one of the most dominant defenses in NFL history you have to play smart. No turnovers, no blown coverages, no stupid penalties. That was the Dolphins strength. Look how they completely shut down the Colts in the 1971 Championship. Allowed ZERO points. But getting back to the Steelers, you have to admire what they did. Chuck Noll was a very underrated coach. He knew football as well as anyone. Sadly, if the WFL does not come along and gut the Dolphins roster (lost Csonka, Kiick, Warfield, others) I am quite sure we would have seen some incredibly tough playoff games between Miami-Pitt. It wasn't meant to be.
It started at Three Rivers in Dec of 1972 with Franco and the "Immacualte Reception " . Im a Raiders fan why didnt Tatum just wrap up Frenchy Fuqua .. oh well it was destiny . Respect to the Steelers 👍
I HATE THE STEELERS, I HATE THE STEELERS, I HATE THE STEELERS, I HATE THE STEELERS, I HATE THE STEELERS. OH DID I FORGET TO MENTION? I HATE THE STEELERS. WHY? BECAUSE I AM A RAIDER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A RAIDER. THEY ARE MY TEAM. I LOVE MY RAIDERS. NO MATTER WHAT. AND WHEN I DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN. AND GOD SAYS TO ME, TAKE THAT DAMN RAIDERS HAT OFF. I WILL SAY HELL NO. AND HE WILL LOOK AT ME AND POINT HIS FINGER DOWNWARD, AND SAY HELL YES. AND I WILL LOOK AT HIM AND SAY OAKLAND RAIDERS FOREVER.
I was born in 1963. I was a Raider fan (in the NYC area) before I could walk. My whole family are Raider fans. I watched many of those games. I consider myself a good person, a religious person, a caring person, but I hate six things: the broncos, the chiefs, the chargers, the seahawks (they used to be in the AFC West), the patriots (tuck rule), but above all others, I hate the pittsburgh steelers, and especially the Steelers of the 70's. I hate their coach, their quarterback, their defense, their offensive line, and especially their rb and their mealy mouthed pussy wr. I am sorry, I can't help it. I will never recover from that bullshit play. BTW, great video, brother!
Same here. Grew up in NJ and always hated the Jets. Especially after the 1968 AFL Champ game. DeRagotis (doing game with Gowdy) said he "saw cow pastures in better condition than the field at Shea Stadium". But you have to respect Namath's toughness and the pass to Maynard for the game-winning touchdown. If Lamonica does not throw the lateral what happens? Do the Raiders win? Maybe. But you can't make mental mistakes in championship games. Atkinson's blown chance for interception, Having to settle for 11 yd FG when you have 1st and goal on the Jets 5 yard line, missed FG by Blanda, etc. Those are all things that add up to put you behind the curve in the 4th qtr. But it is way too easy to scapegoat Lamonica for the loss. Let's recall the game: 1. Jets had one of the best defenses in AFL. 2. The Raider running game was very weak. 3. Temps were dropping and winds swirled with gusts up to 40 mph. Despite all of this, Lamonica throws for over 400 yards in the game. Are you kidding me? It was a great game under some very challenging conditions. I simply think the Jets were meant to win so that the merger could happen. No way do I see the Raiders beating the Colts. It would have been a replay of SB II.
Love the Steelers but I also respect the Raiders. I loved how the Raiders demolished the Redskins in Superbowl 18. 😂😂😂😂A last win for years it would be for the once mighty AFC. 1983 Raiders were a cut above screw NFC dominance.
It's good to know by reading the comments there's still bad blood between the Silver & Black and the Black & Gold after all these years; the ONLY rivalry that remotely comes close to the level of acrimony between these two teams is the Ravens & Steelers, who've borrowed a page or two from this rivalry's book....
whats going to happen when they go to vegas? in oakland, only steeler fans were allowed into the 'black hole' and theyd sometimes play old 70s music during the game, it was fantastic.....i hope vegas doesnt fuck it up
The NFL is better with real rivalries like this or Cowboys vs 49ers, not the so called rivalries that fizzle after a few years, like Seahawks vs 49ers, or Titans vs Steelers
I've been told I can't like both teams cause of the rivalry, but I like n respect Oakland, they may have bent the rules but which team didn't then?? And to let all of YINZ know I LOVE The BEST TEAM EVER!! Go STEELERS!!
From 1972-1977, the Raiders and Steelers split ten combined regular season and playoff games. The Steelers won three of the five playoff games. The Raiders won three of the five regular season games.
The best rivalvry in sports. Oakland hated Pittsburgh and vice versa. Both teams were elite in the mid 1970s. The Steelers where extremely tough to beat at Three Rivers. No excuses Oakland came up just short in Three Rivers in the 1975 AFC Championship Game. But the Raiders in 1976 would not be denied and finally , finally after losing in 1968 to the NY Jets , 1969 to the KC Chiefs , 1970 to the Baltimore Colts and 1973 to the Miami Dolphins and to the Steelers in 1974 at The Coliseum ( a heartbreaker ) and 1975 at Three Rivers. Those were all AFC Championship and AFL Title Games. No more would they say " Always the Brides Maid never the Bride "
After the '76 AFC championship the Steelers and Raiders have never been good at the same time. I don't think they've ever been to a AFC championship together since 1976 have they?
As a Steelers fan these teams made each other stronger you knew what you had to do to get the ring and Miami pushed them before they pushed each other I dont believe if they played with the rules of the seventies any post 70s team would survive the brutality those guys put out I'm not talking this what they call talent today I'm talking none of these QBS would rise to the occasion that the guys did then every pass complete r incomplete could have a head slap involved guys today 2 drives of 3 and out and done ....lol well maybe 4 lol
Those 2 teams Were litterly built the SameWay.! Speed on the Outside Big UpFront big OLINE, both Liked to Run to the Left..Relied on the Running game an Used there TE More than Most teams..Shut down CB & Physical upfront on defense the 2 Difference was QB & RB Bradshaw Haddish strong arm where Stabler was Percision passing and at RB Steelers had Franco & We didn’t have a RB as Good as Franco.. but basically the Same Team Mirror Imagines of Each Other in the 70s..
Another component in Pittsburgh favor ,the Steel Curtain Defense was a complete dominate unit in all areas , the raiders weren't , they possessed a superb talent at individual positions along the defense ,Hendricks, Brown Tatum Sistrunk , but weren't a collective dominant unit ,which coincidentally was part and partial to why they acquired such a sordid conference championship game record until 76 ,when all of the stars aligned perfectly for them ,the controversial roughing the passer call against the Patriots defensive lineman Sugar bear Hamilton, granting the raiders a season saving first down during the final minutes of the divisional rd playoffs ,following a incompletion on 3 and 17 ,with the Patriots nursing a tenuous 21-17 lead , Pittsburgh Steelers entire backfield bring severely debilitated ,especially Franco and Bleier who were obviously missing from the contest . Remember in 1974 the Steelers had lost a regular season contest vs the raiders ,but ventured into Oakland in the conference championship game that season and vanquished the raiders , same case scenario was extremely probable to reoccur ,the Steelers 1976 opening day loss to those always relevant raiders after obtaining a 28- 14 late in the contest was based upon the Steelers becoming overly confident , psychologically lackadaisical, essentially becoming dismissive of those talent excellent raiders ,once that vice on Pittsburghs part transpired ,they couldn't harness the raiders momentum , resulting in a definitive season altering loss ,a transcript which led to Pittsburgh being a conference championship road team as opposed to a host team . Those Raiders were the superior team that captured the 1976 AFC conference championship 🏆,based upon who was available on the playing field for both teams, that respective Sunday obsoletely no objective question about that .
Shows footage of them beating rookie qb Kruszcek in '76, then some from Gradkowski's one and only good game of his career, and another where Roethlisberger had the second worst game of his life with 4 picks (two returned for TD's) in which the raiders entire offense consisted of two field goals with their qb Andrew Walter only throwing for 55 yds all day. More lucky games about poor Steelers play rather than great Raider play and every one of those games were still close. Steelers get upset by the Raiders once or twice a decade, usually on the road, but this hasn't been a real rivalry since the 70s-early 80's. Just keeping it real. You'll never see the Steelers go 13 straight seasons not making the postseason after a super bowl win. I think it's now something like 15 out of the last 17 for the Raiders. Not good. But hey, if it makes you feel good showing an occasional win over a franchise with twice as many championships than your team...then have at it.
Todd, Well the overall record between 2 teams is close (think Raiders won 17, lost 13). But even a Raider fan has to acknowledge the 1974-1975 defeats in playoffs to Pitt. Although in 1975 championship the players were almost literally skating on ice as they played. Probably one of the worst turf conditions for a playoff game I have ever seen. But that's why they play the game. The steeler defense was just downright nasty. C.
Tim Brown before he blew out his knee was the best return man i ever saw..the reason he won the Heisman was his return ability..one of the best players the raiders ever had
I’m now 57 and remember so well 🌈coming from the east bay , loving The Vikings 🏈 I hated both these great teams !, especially the dirty cheap shot Oakland Raiders 😳
Hell of a rivalry, and yet another chapter added TODAY (12-9-2018)
Raider NATION!!!!

I appreciate the history my brotha! When we resurrect that passion it’s gonna be vicious! Much luv and RN4L
I am Raider and my wife Steeler. We met in 1980 but we never put that rivality between. Great players, great games, great years.
Probably the greatest non divisional rivalry
The best , forget Cleveland it was always Oakland 👍
I love old rivalries like this or the Steelers/Cowboys rivalry.
I do to man. In my opinion the best rivalry in nfl history is the Cowboys Steelers rivalry. I'm a die hard Steelers fan and I despise the Cowboys but they've always been our toughest rival
Good bad or indifferent the Raiders play the Steelers super tough.
@Enjoy and Travel The World! It would not have mattered. Neither team beats Miami the next week. And I say this as a Raider fan.
Steelers fan who give much respect to that Raiders defense. Smash mouth football. These were great teams.

@@mrxy4481 Yeah, Raider-Steeler games in the '70s were N A S T Y!!
RAIDER / STEELER BATTLES WERE SOME OF THE CRAZIEST, AWSOME AND GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

This went from 1972 playoffs and skipped over 1974 and 1975 playoffs to 1976 season opener
A losers editing
Actually the Rivalry made one last stand, when the Steelers lost in the Regular season to the Resurgent 1980 Superbowl Champion Raiders.
rivalry so deep, it seeped into the uniforms
In that '72 playoff game on the immaculate reception play #20 of the Raiders sure was a buttmunch.

Jack Tatum’s comment at 3:35 about Lynn Swann is one of the best hits of his storied career.
Read Tatums book "Assassin " He tells of how he and the rest of the Soul Patrol would place side bets on who they would knock out of games.
My Raiders is going to beat the Steelers next year in the regular season.
I am loving it. Fellow Oakland native & Die hard Raiders fan. I wanna know where did this Rivalry All start from. #RAIDERNATIOM4LIFE!!!
It started in December 1972;of Play off game,on Pittsburgh."Immaculate vreception.Sir Franco Harris!
It started at Three Rivers in Dec of 1972 with Franco and the "Immacualte Reception " . Im a Raiders fan why didnt Tatum just wrap up Frenchy Fuqua .. oh well it was destiny . Respect to the Steelers 👍
My step dad is a huge steelers fan since the 70's and he hate the raiders
Left out the 1980 RAIDERS game vs Steelers on a Monday night raiders knocking off the world champions Steelers 45 to 24

Michael Daly what are u talking about its a video about the rivalry between the steelers and raiders
I was referring to the logo you show at the very beginning of the video.
Its my actual face bro
I see. Thanks.
As a Steelers fan these teams made each other stronger you knew what you had to do to get the ring and Miami pushed them before they pushed each other I dont believe if they played with the rules of the seventies any post 70s team would survive the brutality those guys put out I'm not talking this what they call talent today I'm talking none of these QBS would rise to the occasion that the guys did then every pass complete r incomplete could have a head slap involved guys today 2 drives of 3 and out and done ....lol well maybe 4 lol

yeah right ☠️
interesting
I'm a die hard Steelers fan and I pure despise the Raiders
So this is a Raider blowfest?
Aiyuk emacluent reception 2.0.
The raiders and the bikers are the only team that have good rivalries all the others don’t matter
*AND YET THE STEELERS HAVE WON MORE SUPERBOWLS THEN THE RAIDERS* 🥴🥴🥴
Shows footage of them beating rookie qb Kruszcek in '76, then some from Gradkowski's one and only good game of his career, and another where Roethlisberger had the second worst game of his life with 4 picks (two returned for TD's) in which the raiders entire offense consisted of two field goals with their qb Andrew Walter only throwing for 55 yds all day.

Todd,
Well the overall record between 2 teams is close (think Raiders won 17, lost 13). But even a Raider fan has to acknowledge the 1974-1975 defeats in playoffs to Pitt. Although in 1975 championship the players were almost literally skating on ice as they played. Probably one of the worst turf conditions for a playoff game I have ever seen.
But that's why they play the game. The steeler defense was just downright nasty.
C.
Allow me to give yaws, another wrinkle.Once upon a time,these(02) franchises won(07) of the last decade.Thats 70%"!
This is a Raiders video.
Well all that's done now Vegas Raiders ain't the same
This rivalry is so legendary that JAMARCUS RUSSELL had his only good game in a comeback win over Pittsburgh.
That was Bruce Gradkowski in 2009, not Russell. But still true to your point.
Tim Brown returning punts?
Tim Brown before he blew out his knee was the best return man i ever saw..the reason he won the Heisman was his return ability..one of the best players the raiders ever had
Well what do you know another Sports video with music in it how original
I’m now 57 and remember so well 🌈coming from the east bay , loving The Vikings 🏈 I hated both these great teams !, especially the dirty cheap shot Oakland Raiders 😳
Typical Tomlin loss against an inferior team
According to this footage , The Raiders are 20-1 against the Steelers.Nice try💍💍💍💍💍💍
I really hate them now cuz they took AB
Haha sucker
How did that work out for you? Shouldn't have listened to us when we said he wasn't worth it. Didn't even get to play one game.
@@kjscott8439 Raiders were the suckers. The Steelers got free draft picks for literally nothing.
Pittsburgh 6 city
RAIDERS STILL SUCK LOL
