Dick Enberg went to the same college I did, Central Michigan (not all that famous)

When Bill Walsh retired, NBC plugged him in with Dick Enberg and exiled Olsen to regional games, breaking up a great broadcast duo.

@@exchequerguy4037 That's like when Madden went to MNF and Summerall was doing regional games. I will give them this. Bill was a phenomenal analyst. But you could tell he wasn't exactly comfortable in the role. He definitely wanted to be out there leading a team.

@@exchequerguy4037 Dick Enberg is another Central Michigan alum, we're all proud of him

My thoughts exactly. Outside of John Madden & Pat Summerall, Enberg & Olson were my all-time favorite broadcasting duo. Growing up in the 1980's and '90's I remember watching a lot of great/classic games with those guys at the helm. 🙂

Miami 808 ......now isn’t that heart warming

Love these memories, were the same age. And was a fan back then.

Gemco was awesome!

Wow I was about your age at that same time. I have similar memories. For those thinking what are hot wheels and couldn't you just DVR the game, I feel bad for you.

Incredible memory. As Americana as it gets.

CLIFF BRANCH should have been inducted years ago! He held EVERY post season receiving record when he retired, until Jerry Rice broke them. There's no way Harold Carmichael was a better pass catcher!

Miami 808 Don't forget Cliff Branch! Way before Michael Irvin, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens!!!!!

@@darryljackson7600 Cliff Branch held EVERY postseason receiving record when he retired, Jerry Rice broke all of Cliff's records and I say it every year after they announce the pro football HOF finalists, where's Cliff Branch? Harold Carmichael caught more passes, but Branch had a superior average yards per catch AND 3 Super Bowl rings! Branch should have been inducted with Snake Stabler.

Cliff Branch jack Tatum Tom Flores

Lester Hayes and mike Haynes wow

That was THE best Raider team on balance, Hendricks , Millen, Alzado, Hayes, Long, Haynes, not a weak link in that chain at all. Not to mention Branch, Plunkett, Christensen and Allen, the perfect blend of young talent, and experience.

Top 10 all time team

@A E at the time of this game, they were the winningest team in ALL professional sports

They had so many great players!

Love all these classic Raiders Games! Raiders had great players in 1983.

Rod Martin was so underrated. Maybe the best player on this defense.

unlike today

@@bcmcboot no shit I just thought the same thing

Yeah and they didn't drop like flys to injuries like they do now and the game was more violent back then...I personally don't believe today's injuries are all real injuries I think these guys get paid to act injured to balance games out because of gambling becoming legal it's all perception now...have you not noticed how every year the raiders defense never plays intact by mid season half the team is already injured and because of that it's the reason why the raiders don't win because they don't have the QB who can overcome the injuries so the raiders go through the same cycle it's a pattern they use as their excuse every year and so they stay at 6 to 7 wins a year...it will happen again this year just watch you will see what I mean and organization knows this but won't do nothing to change it I guess the organization is getting paid to be mahomes sidekick like the NFL is saying please don't ruin our golden boy from bringing the NFL money we need our super stars to constantly shine.

​@@bcmcbootas of right now... how about that Raiders defence? Haha joking. All fun

No doubt about it...Todd Christensen is a HOFr

lester is my favorite cb,but i think mike haynes was better. When hayes and haynes were the corners for the raiders,teams threw at lester,not michael

@@dkitty8124 Neither was an option. Watch the other two playoff games this year. Lester dared you to pass at him.

@@Rex-gu1bu He's right though. Teams took their chances against Lester with Haynes on the other side of the field.

Right, the only, "bump" as Olsen said, came from the Seahwak.

Lester had perfect position basically making him the receiver, the Seahawk receiver was shoving on him while Hayes was simply holding his position.

Was it loud? 😊

@@TheGlass50 it was LOUD bro, I will not forget, I really became part of the nation that day

@@jeffreyrencher9157 I was 16 at the time. I’ve been a Raider fan since ‘75. The was a magical time of my life. I remember watching that game and being so nervous because the Seahawks had beaten them twice that year. I can’t imagine being there live at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1984 and watching that game. I’m so glad you were there to witness it in person. Thank you so much for responding. That was and still is the largest crowd to ever see a Raiders game and you were there.

I was 15 and a diehard raiders fan my cousin was a Seattle fan and I had to listen to him running his trap all season long and he was so confident they were gonna win it was sweet poetic justice when the raiders beat them that day I'll never forget it. Thanks for these great memories. we always watched these games as a family. Wow, great days.

You are a Lakers fan?

Same here, Brother Dee. HTTR! Super Bowl XVIII is moment I would rather forget. But we made it out by the skin of our teeth in the regular season matchup with those same Raiders. Then Super Bowl 18 had to happen. With the exception of that game, that was one of the Redskins greatest seasons ever. Oh well, ha ha

That was a good skins team too. I'm a Raiders fan but wasnt that skins team 14-2?

The Raiders blew out a pretty good Redskins too.

@@kyledamron They were 14-2 but when they played earlier Haynes wasn't there and branch got hurt during his 99td run

The dline

True, though I have to wonder, would those physical coverage techniques be legal under today's rules where breathing too hard on a receiver will get you a DPI.

Al Davis was a piece of shit

Al did Marcus wrong

@@goatmouthjones90 He certainly did; Al 'cut of his nose to spite his own face'. I'm quite sure that if Marcus had stayed, adding Jerry Rice and Gannon along with Tim Brown, we'd have been VERY dangerous in the late 1990's

My favorite all-time player and why there's a "32" in my screen name.

They were dirty. Period. Got away with more than any other team. their Dbs held-no call. Another team does the same to Raiders? -Yellow Hankie

@@jackjax532 It's you that's in denial. Raiders were always involved in dead ball altercations cause of how dirty they were. Alzado and Long were just bullies that were on roids. The karma caught up to that franchise

Raiders got screwed by the refs in big games more than any other team. 69 AFL championship Otis Taylor stepped out of bounds, 1972 Immaculate Deception 1974 AFC Championship big offensive tripping call, 1977 Lytle fumble....

That Raiders team would rack up 1 million dollars in fines every game. Most would be suspended before the season was over. This was back when you could play real football.

@@gambloduck6633 You're both right and wrong. The Bears played the same way, but because their stars, especially their DBs were Caucasian (Fencik, Plank Fiske etc.) the media euphemised "dirty" with "tough"

@Thegreatokie You weren't alone, after his 13 regular season INT's in 1980, The Judge would get flagged for PI or IC Illegal Contact if he so much as breathed on an opposing player.

Fr that “bump” wouldve been a no call even in today’s game😂

..the L.A Raiders had the better defense than the Oakland Raiders...

They also had a great running game in Marcus Allen. Defense and a strong running game -a pretty successful combination.

They need to send a note of thanks to the Browns for giving them Alzado. Alzado played like a man possessed as a Raider

every favorite player or coach of my childhood team deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.com

well ask and you shall receive

Pete Rozelle despised Al Davis more than anyone. Several notable Raiders are not in the HOF because of it. Flores Branch and Hayes are notable omissions

@@sukhastings4200 the commissioner does elect who goes into the HOF

Raiders are still the most popular football team in LA. I grew up going to Raiders games at the coliseum. I can't believe they moved to Vegas!

Amen brother ! The Raiders AND the country were MUCH better back then.

Similar to Riggins the year before. He only averaged like 3.1 ypc before the playoffs and turned it on. Marcus averaged 3.8 ypc in his sophomore season and then flipped the switch in the playoffs. Three incredible games.

Yes, and when Al Davis benched him, it was the end of the Raider Dynasty.

Not only that Chris, but the Raiders as a collective team! In that era, they always seemed to raise their game to another level during the playoffs! And '83 was no different! When completely healthy, the Raiders could beat anyone anytime anywhere! Still to this day blows me away that of the 20 greatest SB champions ranked by the America's Game series, this Raiders squad was rated the lowest of those 20! That ranking is a travesty! The way that Raiders team controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage at the end of that season, to me, their '83 squad maybe one of the 10 best one-season teams in NFL history! That team doesn't get the credit they fully deserve and for that matter neither does Marcus Allen! The fact that he was only ranked #85 of the 100 Greatest Players Ever on NFL Network shows how little those who voted value opinion! Allen hands down was not only the best inside-the-20 RB of all-time, he should have at least been rated in the Top 40 overall! #85 is just asinine!

And the acquisition of Mike Haynes was just plain ridiculous! He is one of the five best DB's to ever play the game, not just the corner position! The five best defensive backfield men in my opinion - and they were MEN - Ronnie Lott, Mike Haynes, Deion Sanders, Mel Blount and Darrell Green! Like Howie Long said in the '83 Raiders America's Game documentary, and he put it best - "Mike Haynes was so athletically gifted, it was boring"!

Yep, Tatum, Hayes, Christenson, Wiz should also be in....Raider haters.

Why did the Raiders have home field then, if they got beat twice by the Seahawks and same record?

@@gambloduck6633 That's a good question. But, they said the sea chickens beat them both times that season. And, I remember being up in Seattle and a guy saying the same thing

@@gambloduck6633 the Raiders won their division - Seattle didn't.

@@gambloduck6633 It's called Seeding, division Champions get home field against Wild Card teams. Better OVERALL record12-4 versus 9-7, there's no way in hell the NFL will let a 9-7 team will host a 12-4 team in a Conference Championship game.

@@davidcobb2693 They had the SAME record. Get your facts in order. Must have been conference record, or division record prevailing tie breaker over head to head. If that game was in Seattle, no way they get so many no calls against Hayes and Mike Haynes when they grabbed receivers. Some questionable calls against Seahawks. Small markets didn't get any calls those days.

Hey man jut read your comment. I may be interested in trading games with you. I have many on dvd too (not as much as you but a good chunk). How can I PM you?

@@RaiderClassics No problem!

Not sure how to go about contacting you, but would love getting some games on DVD. Contact me at my e-mail...bablack77@yahoo.com I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

SD was the 80 season

Not the whole team?

I loved those old Seahawk uniforms!! Wish they would wear them again

My dad and three cousins and I drove down to cheer on our Seahawks. As a young teen that was an eye opening experience seeing the fans after the game. We were up high at the opposite end of the field from where the goalpost was knocked down. We saw the officer get beaned on the head by a beer bottle someone threw down and get choppered out of there.

@@VMac822 Don't ya just love us Raiders fans? lol Not a fan any more. It was tough to root for them the last few years that Al owned them, it's totally impossible now that his nitwit kid is the owner.

Plesae don't mention the modern teams when referencing the ole Raiders.

And 2 weeks later,they gave the diesel ( John riggins ) flat tires.

No, they lifted the blackout. I saw the game live here in LA and was loving it.

@@warlaker Me. too.

Joseph Wright Me too.

90,000 people were in the stadium that day

Kory Malone probably because of the stick em he had on him before they outlaw it

@@rodjulius2745 Stick 'em was legal and lots of players used it - including Biletknikof who's in the hall. Of course, Hayes is black.

Kory Malone very true

Who the Redskins play calling in super bowl 18 was the worst I've ever seen in sports

Beautiful D!!

Well the Seahawks are still the ONLY NFL team to play in both an AFC and NFC Championship game

The Colts represented the NFL and the Jets the AFL in SuperBowl3 ?...the Colts represented the AFC and the Cowboys the NFC in SuperBowl5.

Bro the Seahawks were NOT gonna win this game!

@@barrywoods5262 Well, the Browns played in the NFL Championship twice in the 1960s after the SB era started and then played in a couple of AFC Championships in the 1980s, so I don't think the Seahawk thing is a big deal.

They're GM Mike Mayock had a pretty good draft last year. Theyre slowly rebuilding into a contender

LT was already in the league

Yeah, Taylor's rookie season was 1981.
