This looks and sounds great. Well done.

Thanks for your effort. This looks and sounds beautiful. As a Oilers fan it was still painful to watch the Renfro catch all these decades later.

I can't thank you enough for reliving my youth and passion for the "Football" I grew up on Sir !!!

@@troydavis318 aint that the truth. It took me back to being 8 years old waiting for 11:30am to watch the NFL pregame on the 13" TV in my Oiler Blue bedroom

Thanks for your time and effort looks excellent!

They are beautiful. It was cool to see the Tennessee Titians wear them vs Atlanta on Oct 29, 2023

Agreed. Unlike the monstrosities they wear now.

The one exception would be the Bengals. The uniforms during the 80's were definitely a huge improvement

@@nymike06No it wasn’t. The Oilers belong in Houston not Nashville.

The 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates uniforms were the greatest uniforms in MLB history. All 178 possible combinations of them. Something special about the late 70s.

If you're from Pittsburgh, then of course it is because that was the Steeler's decade.

@@fisterhr 100% Ollers fan and those late 70's were the most exciting football I've seen the Oilers play. Pittsburg awesome. But Oilers had the heart. No team after the Oilers had the passion that team had. Neither Texans nor whatever they became. Lost track.

Raider fan here and agree!

It was the best decade in NFL history. You could easily root for a team and player cause the teams stayed together. Never another decade with that many truly great teams. Miami, Minnesota, Dallas, Los Angeles, Oakland Baltimore, Cincinnati, Washington, Houston and of course Pittsburgh.

'73 --'79 was a great stretch for the NFL...

Yeah the atmospheres were so much better than you get now. Just a bunch of rich folk now at $300 a ticket who all leave during the 4th quarter. Same thing here in England, the fans don't make as much noise at our football

@@reggiejames7812 Absolutely agree.

And those classic oil Derrick on helmet side

No social justice nonsense either.

Reviews are a necessary evil, though.

@@FritzFritzariniThey are not necessary. They haven't ended controversy. Get rid of reviews!

@@miltonmcdonald2919 Sorry but I'm in favor of them. That's not to say the process couldn't be streamlined and improved. But when the whole world can see on tv that a call was blown, I say overturn it.

@@miltonmcdonald2919they are necessary, but they don’t do them properly; the refs never want to go against themselves!

I was 7 in 1979.

These two back to back AFC Championships with these two teams, are legendary for the hitting on both sides. Loved Carpenter and Barber.

I wasn’t born yet 89

Agree. Pastorini was tough. This was his last game for the Oilers. They traded him to the Raiders for Ken Stabler & Bum Phillips got fired after losing in the playoffs to the Raiders.

There is nothing wrong with the game today, you still watch it along with millions others.

@@michaelguerrieri4768 it's crap, I rarely watch

Absolutely ✨ I’m now 61 and grew up a Vikings fan born and raised in the Bay Area 🌟❤️These were wonderful times for everything!

same here. real football

Yeah me too. I was 9 years old. Everything in my room was NFL.

Spoiler alert next time PLEASE!!

You’ve stayed 11 years old this long? What’s your secret? 😂

I was also 11 yrs old in 1979 and this was my second year as a Steelers fan

I've always thought the significance of the call was overblown. It was a questionable call, but it was a first down play. They were still second and goal on the 6 after it, had multiple chances still to score that touchdown, and wound up getting a field goal. At worst it cost them four points and it needn't have cost them any if they'd executed on the next few plays. Given that the Steelers won 27-13 and there was still more than a quarter to play, this doesn't rank among the most important calls in playoff history.

​​@@randomguy6117bad take. Every play is precious in a sudden death nfl playoff game. You underestimate momentum in an nfl game. This was emotionally devastating to a team's psyche in such a gigantic game

It's probably one of the blown calls that led to instant replay. As for it changing the outcome of the game, we'll never know for sure.

We got one for the thumb..

Didn't know that. Thanks for the context.

@@lynnturman8157 The refs get things right a pretty good percentage of the time, but for the times when they did get it wrong, it made the refs look bad that they couldn't correct the call. Then people would endlessly complain about it. In a huge game like this, a wrong call can easily alter the direction the game takes. In this case, the game would have been tied, and the Oilers would have had the momentum. If this had been called a touchdown, I wonder how the game would have later unfolded.

Actually they had a brief try in 1978. Then again in 1986

I remember that well. I was 13 years old then.

enberg was the best

Coincidentally the Rams and Bucs met in the NFC championship game 20 years later. (1999) And it was also low scoring

they whipped them 35-7 during the regular season to earn home field only to lose to houston at home in the playoffs

...WHAT?

The Houston Oilers uniforms 🤘

Totally agree...Enberg and Olsen were the best IMO.

@@johnnypastrana6727 Oh yeah! They were great. Same with Summerall and Brookshire....later with Summerall and Madden. That was the golden age of NFL announcing.

Mike Adamle is still alive. Met him before, really good guy.

@@smokestack29 The way I wrote it indicated that. My bad. However, I recall reading in 2017 that Adamle has dementia and had signs of CTE, from his years of playing football. Nice you got to meet him. Was he ok, his recall and memory? I enjoyed his work in the 80s.

Yes, no announcers exist like them now. The corporations, gambling, ESPB, and pseudo-analytics diminished the game, not the players. Mr. Enberg and Mr. Olsen were real people.

Caught it after he bobbled it put of bounds.

@@dennisqualls9098 Sorry, but both feet were in and he never bobbled it. Clearly had possession in his right arm the whole time. And back then, there was no issues with "possession" or "surviving the ground" etc anyway. As long as both feet were in and the ball never touched the ground, it would be called a catch. Plain and simple, the refs blew the call. The announcers both clearly felt the same way too.

I thought it was a catch too. And I'm a Die-Hard Steelers Fan.

Enberg and Olsen were the greatest announcers of all time!!! They made NBC and the NFL great to watch!!! It was good to see Greg Gumble too!!!

Merlin Olsen lived across the street from my Jr. High school in Downey Ca. I'll go to my grave believing my Rams would have beat these Steelers in the Superbowl if Jack Youngblood was 100 percent! Took my Son to Canton in 2001 to see Youngblood and Swann get inducted into the HOF ... got my Son's Ram helmet signed by Youngblood on the left horn and Dryer on the right horn! Little old lady down the street rear ended my Van in front of my house while it was parked and her insurance company sent me a check for almost 5 G the week before the induction! Talk about divine intervention! LoL

Chuck Noll didn't tolerate celebrations of any kind. He thought end zone celebrations showed you weren't familiar with being there. He did seem to let up on that rule for the Super Bowl, though.

The Oilers had 227 total yards of offense in the game. Only 24 rushing yards. The Steelers defense was smothering them the entire game. Congrats on a missed TD. They still would have lost by seven points.

It's so simple.....TD or no, the Steelers win!!!😅

The non call on Renfro killed the momentum. If that TD had counted, I honesty feel the Oilers win.

@@beeemm2578 The Steelers were not going to lose this game at home. But, Houston was a gutty team and earned respect from Pittsburgh fans. There will never be another Bum Phillips.

@@katazack we'll never know. Doofus refs with the Three Rivers Screwjob

@@patgalvez4563 Well, it's hard to overcome a crappy call from the refs. If they made the call they should have it's a tie game, and then who knows what could happen?

@@nymike06maybe, but probably not. These Steelers were absolute animals.

They always sucked while facing the steelers.

Conway Hayman and Tim Wilson? Nice!

Conway Hayman is your brother. How long did he play in the NFL and where did he play college ball????

The NFL just made putting your body weight into a tackle a penalty. Also, the NFL has now copied the XFL on kickoffs. For onside kicks you need permission from the refs to do so. The league voted unaminously to these bad rules for player safety. I think it's to make the league more like arena football. It will be an offensive game. Lots of pass plays. Boring.

And it was only tying the game.

They had more white dudes

Well, you're kind of missing the point of this channel. Dave is very much invested in NFL history in as complete a form as he can present it, and he feels that it would be a cheat to condense any of these great games. Even standing alongside a full presentation of the game, extended highlights would be the game out of context, and wouldn't serve the games, the players, and us subscribers. You also probably don't know that these games are viewed by former players and their friends and families, and condensing the games would deprive them of the opportunity to see some plays they might relish seeing. If you're looking for extended highlights of games, you could try doing a search on YT. Just put in the search term and see if you get any hits. But even if you do, the quality won't match what you'll find here.

@@GeorgeDamon Fair enough-I see your point

This game (along with the more than one hundred other games on my channel) was software enhanced and cleaned up by me using Topaz Video AI and Da Vinci Resolve.

Lol I remember that. Well I forgot it was that way.
