When I was a kid and there was no internet, I only dreamed I could one day watch old NFL games but didn't know how to acquire them. The last ten to fifteen years have been GLORIOUS.
Thanks for posting. These truly were the glory years of the NFL the 70s and 80s and maybe it did early 90s. Did you notice no gyrations after getting a first down and no complaining that are referees. Hate the way that current NFL players act during games absolutely hate it !!!!
I miss the balanced offenses running and passing. I’m not a big fan of the constant shotgun, 3 WR vs nickel defense all day long. I guess I’m getting old!
I never realized that. 1981 was the first full year i started to watch football, and I was only 10 which I believe was the last year of Metropolitan Stadium. While I have seen footage of many old games from that stadium, never noticed that both teams were on the same sideline. I will have to look for that now.
This brings back alot of great memories, i really like to see the sportsmanship that is beeing shown from both teams, not like into days game. O shit i sound like my father. Thanks for the peek back in time.
So many years of struggling and Walsh even at one time thought he wasn’t coaching material.bill never gave up and he believed in what he was doing and years later to find out how meticulous he was in a playbook and even drilling Montana on his footsteps with the precise steps in a passing play to require a receiver to be open is astonishing to this day.bills theory in preparation for his football team changed everything in pro football during the 80’s.
For some reason the 49ers did not have capes to wear on the sidelines in 1981, and there were some cold games and rainy games they played in, not just on the road, but in late season home games too. The 49ers look like they are freezing standing on the sidelines with those gold jackets.
On the surface, this had potential trap game written all over it for the 49ers. This was the week after the memorable 45-14 win over Dallas. And right after this was a big-time 3 week stretch: Rams, at Steelers, Falcons. Right in the middle of the meat of their schedule, a game that had look-ahead potential.
When you have 10 total wins in the last 3 seasons and you are just starting your turnaround. I hardly think you even consider any game a gimme to overlook. If there was a team they overlooked this season that would've been Cleveland. But losing that game turned out to be a benefit to the team because when they lost in week 11 they were starting to think a little to much of themselves. It brought them down to earth and readied them for their Super Bowl run.
I'd say the defenses carried the day. To hold that great 49ers offense to just one rushing TD and they didn't make that one easy. Even though the Packers lost, their D had nothing to apologize for. And what can you say about that newly revamped 49ers D with those talented young backs!
If you take requests Sourdough Bob, do you have any of the 49ers/Rams games from 1981? Those were huge catharsis wins for the Niners considering recent history.
Chris Kreager I don't take requests because if I don't have it I don't wanna disappoint, plus time too. Though I will be uploading Niners @ Rams '81, soon, maybe tonight.
OK. Thanks for letting me know. I just took a shot in the dark considering I've never seen this GB game, so I figured why not give it the old college try
starting around 51:37 rare beautiful intelligent screen catch and run . gb rb Gerry Ellis catches a hard screen pass to catch . runs towards his side of field but then cuts "across the grain " diagonally to the other side for a great run . that is very intelligent running
each time in the 80's as I recall when the packers played here in Milwaukee, there never was a 2nd game shown here, b/c county stadium wasn't an NFL stadium
Packers played at least four games a season in Millwaukee, unit 1994. Too bad the 49ers don't play at least two games in San Francisco, at Oracle Park, each season. I remember watching the 49ers play in Millwaukee in 1960 versus the Packers on TV. Hornung had a great game, as he would in December in the mud at Kezar in SF. Also, the stripes on the 49er pants were way, way too wide then. They have narrower ones now.

Huge penalty on the Pack at 1:46:15.....oh wait, they played real football back then, not even a mention of the hit that in today's NFL would result in a fine and suspension....
They could have had Barry Sanders, but took Tony Mandarich. Can you imagine Barry lining up behind Favre? They would both own a lot more jewelry today.
They wanted to have all the home games at Lambeau. Millions of dollars of expansion and improvments have been poured into Lambeau since. There was some kind of agreement in the old days but it expired in 1994. The last game in Milwaukee was vs the Falcons. Brett Favre scored on a 10 yard run, diving into the endzone on the last play of the game that got the Packers in the playoffs.
SJWs weren't allowed around the rule books in sports back then. What you see is what you get and what you don't see, you don't get. Just like real life.
Milwaukee was a great fam venue. Much larger fan base in Milwaukee ofcourse. Most states population was southeastern wis. But remodeling of lambeau and just business issues took forefront. The travel and need to make Lambeau"HOME" and a place to fear and be proud of were also factors. Look whats happened. Lambeau is considered one of the best home stadiums regarding wins and mystique. So much can be said for making the Milwaukee games just impractical. Lambeau magic.....
Dynasty begins. RIP Dwight Clark.
Much thanks. I live in Japan, and in my free time I love watching old-school NFL games (especially the Niners).
You should watch the Warriors in basketball nowadays, they're entertaining!!
When I was a kid and there was no internet, I only dreamed I could one day watch old NFL games but didn't know how to acquire them. The last ten to fifteen years have been GLORIOUS.
holding on the first play for Green Bay.. the epitome of the 80's Packers..
I was at this game. I can remember my buddy saying, "Here we go again!", after the holding call.
Notice the hitting by the defense. The way I was taught to play. That was my senior year in HS football
Had forgotten about this one Bob! And the video quality is superb for a game played 36 years ago! Thanks for this one!

Thank you for posting this !! Paul Coffman was Awesome !!
I remember this game. I was 6 years old. In 81
Mike Douglas was very underrated.....impressive game.
They called him "Mad Dog" back in the day.
I miss the days of seeing both teams having their benches on the same side of the field. Always loved watching the County Stadium games for that.
I practically grew up at Milwaukee County Stadium, Miller Park is an abomination, I too miss these days.
Funny though they shared the same sideline in that stadium
kevin trammo Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington Minnesota had the same set-up
I never realized that. 1981 was the first full year i started to watch football, and I was only 10 which I believe was the last year of Metropolitan Stadium. While I have seen footage of many old games from that stadium, never noticed that both teams were on the same sideline. I will have to look for that now.
@@raptardriver1185 That is a crappy opinion. Miller Park is for baseball. It's a beautiful park. County stadium was old and nothing fun.

Very well said! Walsh just stuck to his guns due to his own belief in the system for the team!
Packers OC Bob Schnelker... run run pass punt. Run run pass punt. All day.

I have to say I'm a lions fan unfortunately but watching these Packer games are fun they bring back a lot of memories....THE PACK IS BACK 😉
I'd say the defenses carried the day. To hold that great 49ers offense to just one rushing TD and they didn't make that one easy. Even though the Packers lost, their D had nothing to apologize for. And what can you say about that newly revamped 49ers D with those talented young backs!
Thanks for the great games! Much appreciated.
Would love to see the 1995 49ers vs Vikings.
1987 game Vikings vs 49ers was better
At about 12:45, Dean won't get the sack, but he throws that guard down like a rag doll. He was great!
Ben Dreith my favorite ref of all time!
I miss these days!!
As good as they were in '81, the Niners still had some holes to fill on this roster. Those holes were all filled in my '84 to say the least.

Love those old inros!
When I used to watch Pro football
Packers played at least four games a season in Millwaukee, unit 1994. Too bad the 49ers don't play at least two games in San Francisco, at Oracle Park, each season.

How come the Packers weren't playing at Lambeau??? unfortunately I was only 8yrs old and I don't remember watching much football
Through the mid 90's the Packers played three or four home games a season in Milwaukee
1:09:04 what a catch by Ricky Patton.
Lynn Dickey the interception machine
The Packers beat themselves with holding penalties.
BS calls, especially first play of the game. rewind and look.
Welcome to Milwaukee
County stadium.. where both teams shared the same sideline...
Like in the nba 🏀
Montana is the best*"!👍😎
Brady
@@nala3038..Cheater!
@@nala3038He is in the watered down NFL. Mahomes is the turd face baby now and NFL will get him to ten. Then what?

Somedays, you just couldn't beat Dickey.
AT 4:47, I thought 54, 57,and 79 were linebackers!!! A real eye-opener to the belly buldging overfat linemen of today!!
NFL has lost this.
Huge penalty on the Pack at 1:46:15.....oh wait, they played real football back then, not even a mention of the hit that in today's NFL would result in a fine and suspension....
81 the Packers could have drafted Chris Collinsworth
They could have had Barry Sanders, but took Tony Mandarich. Can you imagine Barry lining up behind Favre? They would both own a lot more jewelry today.
@dawoool That would have e been Awesome 👌 👏 👍🏽
Anyone know why they stopped having games in Milwaukee?
HandsomeRandall My guess is there was no way football wasn't going to be planted in Milwaukee
They wanted to have all the home games at Lambeau. Millions of dollars of expansion and improvments have been poured into Lambeau since. There was some kind of agreement in the old days but it expired in 1994. The last game in Milwaukee was vs the Falcons. Brett Favre scored on a 10 yard run, diving into the endzone on the last play of the game that got the Packers in the playoffs.
Do you really need a reason not to play in that dump
I miss both teams sharing one sideline!
Good game
The holding foul against #31 Gerry Ellis at 1:24:21 looked really weak.
Is it me or do the players just look bigger back in the day?
It’s you
Packer fan here. Do l want to watch this?
If you want to watch the Packers defense have a great day against a great offense, yes. If you want to see the Packers offense having a good day, no.
1:37:14
Replay rule needed at 1:18:46. 😀
SJWs weren't allowed around the rule books in sports back then. What you see is what you get and what you don't see, you don't get. Just like real life.
2:00:37 Big Hit

Packers couldve won this game.
this game was not played at lambeau field?
Nestor Guzman in the early 80s the Packers played half of their home games in Milwaukee.
Jason P 3 of 8 home games
