@@luisvaldes1568 I say the same thing all the time. Bring back the pat patriot logo! At least they brought it back for a game 10-9-22 and they looked incredible.
The 1970s Steelers are simply the greatest dynasty in the Super Bowl era of the NFL. Howard Cosell is simply the best announcer in the history of sports. And those graphics and the music when the helmets all appear on the screen during the intro - that's simply the best opening for any football television production.
Those vintage Patriots uniforms were always among my favorites. And they played outdoors, like football is supposed to be played....and most of their games were at high noon, so there were virtually no shadows on the field during the games. The old Patriots games were incredible spectacle....
I was at that game with dad. Great defensive matchup. The stands were wild with bad,drunk behaviour. Reason for few MNF in Foxboro in the following years.
I believe the 79’ Steelers are like the 75’ squad in that they seldom get their due for how great they were and the 1978 squad gets all the accolades. But the 75’ team (other than one bad outing on defense in Buffalo) were utterly without weaknesses. So too was this squad other than their (ridiculous) propensity to turn the ball over. But when you have 52 turnovers and go -10 in turnover margin, but still go 12-4 against a very tough schedule while racking up more the 120 yards more than your opponents per game, you too are an unimaginably good squad.
I didn't hear nor know of "My Sharona" until 1981... But I certainly listened to Weather Report's "8:30" Chick Corea's "Delphi", and just about everyone that I knew was listening to the first Bob James Earl Klugh collaboration "One On One"
In the end, a fitting win for Pittsburgh. Chuck Noll's 100th win as a coach. And it was a triumph of professionalism against emotional play. But I'd give the game ball to the Steelers' defense for keeping them in the game when the offense was struggling.
@@isaacgreen3273 this sure does bring back great memories of watching this with my dad, in 1979 when this game was played I was almost 10 years old. I love watching this stuff thanks so much :-)
One of the longest and heartfelt standing ovations I've ever seen. While the Stingley hit may not have been helmet-on-helmet, if I were Jack Tatum I still would have got down on a knee next to that wheelchair and apologize. But that's not how he and George Atkinson rolled.
I remember I watch that game the Steelers were in white jerseys black helmets and yellow pants and the Patriots were in red jerseys white and white pants. I remember before halftime over 60 thousands fans cheer for Darryl Stingley from the press box.
On the other hand, maybe there were just so few riding the fence on this guy back in the day. Love him or hate him. Everyone had an opinion! It's HILARIOUS when he tells Meredith "Stop being truculent!" in the 3rd quarter. Dude had character and a huge vocabulary. LOL.
Those Steelers teams from the 70's were one of the first teams to really do a lot of cheating. One of the big things they did, was that those players were absolutely loaded with ped's!!! Just about the entire team did them with a few exceptions like bradshaw, swann & maybe the kickers. It's really noticeable, in the fourth quarter when other teams are starting to fade a little bit, the steelers are able to pull out a victory. So many of there games they pulled out in the fourth because they had an unfair advantage. Now other teams may have had a player or two that were doing something, but the steelers had pratically everybody juiced out of there minds, what cheats! The entire decade should be called into question, those no good bastards!!!
@@alspencer3826 Hahahahaha! Hey Al, tell me what NFL rule the Steelers were breaking when their guys were taking PED's! Unlike the no good cheating Patriots who have not only broken rules, but have been fined for cheating.
@alspencer3826 • If you want to see who was actually using, look at photos of Jack Youngblood and Randy White in the 70's, and compare those to photos of them in 1985
Good Penn State guy, him and his brother Chris Bahr with the Raiders, both those guys could kick a country mile, both also played soccer for their HOF Coach/Father at Penn State.
I liked the first change they made when they went to the lighter color blue than the color they wear now. If they could have kept the logo the same with "Pat the Patriot" it would have been better... but that's just me, lol...
1:51:47 John Stallworth always the consummate professional! No reason for that jackass defenseman to treat him that way on that play. Stallworth was such a gem! He caught so many poorly thrown balls it's almost hard to believe!
He hated the city of Pittsburgh , also. I grew up there in the 60’s and 70’s and the local radio DJ’s used to stir the pot, so to speak before a MNF game at home.
the Steelers that came after this greatest of teams rode their backs by playing dirty and constantly whining despite getting preferential treatment by the league and the refs.... in fact the refs handed them their win over the cardinals years later.
Nothing compared to the win they gave them over Seattle in SB 40. When you are out-gained and negative in turnovers, yet win by 11 points it’s quite evident the zebras were in your corner.
Haha wow you not must watch many Steelers games. I remember one season when cowher was coach the league apologized 3 different games the Steelers lost saying the refs were wrong on calls against them, costing them a playoff spot.
As good as the NFL was back then that is the only drawback. You had to wait for a commercial to see the score and don't look away from the TV .....it will flash on screen then boom. I remember when Fox bought the NFC package, outbidding CBS back in 93, first thing they did was have a score box on screen at all times. Brilliant idea that it's hard to believe no one thought of before then.
Love these original Patriot helmets, reminds me of 70's football... This is the rise of the NFL empire, great footage!!
The good old days of Monday night football. ... real football at it's finest
9:20 kickoffs !!!
Fun announcers in the booth. The novelty of a weekday game as opposed to the oversaturated schedule we get today.
I remember this game vaguely. Uploading these games is the sports equivalent of a Time Machine.
I miss the old Patriots red jerseys dating back 1970's
And the best helmet logo ever.
@@luisvaldes1568 I say the same thing all the time. Bring back the pat patriot logo! At least they brought it back for a game 10-9-22 and they looked incredible.
Some teams have an iconic look that simply should not be changed. The old scarlet Patriots jerseys and logo were such a look.
They'll be wearing them today the 85 version

Excellent quality!!!
My Sharona was the number 1 song (6 straight weeks) when this game was played.
And I had Get the Knack on 8 track and vinyl. I wish I still had both of them. Oooh the money I had.

John Hannah best O-Lineman ever.
1:25:27 He couldve cost them this game.
Mike Webster says “hold my beer”. Look at this incredible block on the delayed blitz 43:34
Thanks SO much for this!!
You're welcome.

Crazy that it was a pre-season game
I was at this game, the ovation is the only thing I remember from that night
@@allenbennett5671 it was the 1st reg season game on Sept 3rd
I use 2 live on MNF THES SONG AND THE ANONSERS MISS THOSE PRESOUS TIMES WITH MY FATHER LEROY SR.

I had to look up the definition of "truculent." Howard and Dandy Don are hilarious.
Steelers fan here since 73 I forgot about fearless swann was wow!!!!
43:35 great block by Webster on that delayed blitz.
Dandy Don!
Roy Gerela woulda missed that last field goal 101 out of 100 times.
True math
No shit. All those guys sucked and kicked forever. Don Cockroft, Earl Mann, Fred Cox, Jim Baakin
Yeah
He always kicks
For the
Other team
😆
Matt Bahr's highlight as the kicker for the Pittsburgh Steelers 😂😅!
Russ francis the gronk of the time.
Russ Francis went into the AWA after his career ESPN used to carry the AWA matches.
Howard Cosell maybe the most BELOVED, and MAYBE THE MOST DESPISED sports personality in history!
Perfect description. A conundrum. Two fact-based-yet-mutually-exclusive things somehow simultaneously true.
On the other hand, maybe there were just so few riding the fence on this guy back in the day. Love him or hate him. Everyone had an opinion! It's HILARIOUS when he tells Meredith "Stop being truculent!" in the 3rd quarter. Dude had character and a huge vocabulary. LOL.
When the NFL was the NFL!
47:20 What ovation for the late Daryl Stingley form Purdue!
47:07 Those aren't tears in my eyes...I yawned
I remember watching this game with my old man and my uncle. Steelers weren’t on that night but beat the no good bastards from New England.

@alspencer3826 • How the f*** was using PEDS cheating in the 70's when it wasn't illegal, and a majority of the league at the time using?
@alspencer3826 • If you want to see who was actually using, look at photos of Jack Youngblood and Randy White in the 70's, and compare those to photos of them in 1985
Rip RUSS FRANCIS 🙏 RON EARNHART,❤
I watched this game. Labor Day night.
Bahr would certainly make some big kicks for the Giants, too... some 11 years later.
(Not a bad way to win two Super Bowl rings.)
Good Penn State guy, him and his brother Chris Bahr with the Raiders, both those guys could kick a country mile, both also played soccer for their HOF Coach/Father at Penn State.
Swann and stallworth were the Mike and Scottie of football wide receivers.so were Franco and rocky at running back and fullback.
47:00 onward: thats love,brother....Damn onions
I think Howard Cossel was making it obvious that Lynn Swann was his favorite receiver:)
Cliff Branch was 10 times better.
@@TDL-xg5nn HE MOST DEFINATELY...
WAS NOT!!!
Don't forget Drew Pearson
@@BIG-D-STAR Yes he fucking was! Lynn Swann was soft as a baby's butt. Cliff Branch has 100 times better than soft Swanny
@@TDL-xg5nnyeah that's what a can of stick em will do....
2 good looking uniforms. New England retro is better.
which uniforms are better? the white helmet w/ red jerseys or the silver helmets and blue jerseys?
Red jersey white helmet
I liked the first change they made when they went to the lighter color blue than the color they wear now. If they could have kept the logo the same with "Pat the Patriot" it would have been better... but that's just me, lol...
White helmets with the red jerseys was my favorite. ...
I was at this game. Anyone else here on yt?
Rip DARRYL SINGLEY
Too bad no Darryl Stingley halftime interview in this recording...that was a HUGE part of this night and broadcast. Great upload nonetheless.
Thanks.
47:14 Public Address Annoncement. Very nice.
That was one endless standing O.
Francis,McGee,Hasselback,Cavanaugh &Haynes all had to leave the Patriots to get Super Bowl rings with other teams
I watched this game
Cosell and Meridith were great together
Great Patriots uniforms with best helmet with Pat Patriot
Darryl Stingley……
1:51:47 John Stallworth always the consummate professional! No reason for that jackass defenseman to treat him that way on that play. Stallworth was such a gem! He caught so many poorly thrown balls it's almost hard to believe!
Howard Cosell hated the Steelers ....
Yeah, but he was crazy about Lynn Swann..
He hated the city of Pittsburgh , also. I grew up there in the 60’s and 70’s and the local radio DJ’s used to stir the pot, so to speak before a MNF game at home.
At 2:31:00...the commercial where the lil girl says we're going on a second honeymoon was creepy 😊
It's weird seeing the commentators get of the picture to allow their colleague to talk
Out of the four Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Titles of the 1970's I thought the 1979 season team was their weakest
This was a big game because even though the Steelers were SB champs..NE was the favorite to win the AFC. They didn’t even make the playoffs.
I meant how fearless
Newengland needs to go back to wearing these uniforms and helmets these are classics do away with other ones
17:06 Unfortunately Howard being prophetic.
Barr couldn't hit a field goal from 5 yards, kickers back then wouldn't make a high school team today
He hit the one that mattered..the game winner
Where's Mean Joe?
He must have got hurt because #64 Steve Furness was the backup
Every night is monda😢night football!!
Pre-Nissan Datsun.
Gerela stunk
HUH 😮😂!!!??? 🤔 Ummm I think you might mean Matt Bahr played this game!!!!!???? Not 🚫 Gerela!!!!!
