Blast from the past to get you through the NFL doldrums


Recommended Posts

Holy crap thank you for posting this game, I have been looking for it for years now. I was only 9 but I remember that 40 yard Collinsworth TD catch at the 8:20 mark. 

 

#80 - C. Collinsworth

Age: 22

HT: 6' 5"

WT: 122

 

Hahahahahahahaha...sounds about right.

Another one from 81.....

 

Final game of season, playoffs and AFC Central and all locked up, now just playing for homefield and almost threw it away.   I bring you....Bengals and Falcons final regular season game  of 1981....

Next up....Bengals go for their first ever playoff win.  While the Chargers and Dolphins play an epic overtime game  this weekend, the Bengals are playing the Bills.  It was during the Xmas break so I was able to go to this one,  It was about 45 degrees....100 degrees warmer than the windchill that would define the Freezor Bowl just 7 days later....

Damn I love these videos. So much less me, me, me in the 1981 NFL. Give each other some high 5's and run back to the sideline. 
 
So damn refreshing.


Tv is partly to blame for that. One thing that is incredibly noticeable is the reduced amount of focused shots on players and coaches.

The SB subsequent to this playoff series won't be shown....still not really over it...plus, I gave my tape of it away to one of my 49er friends (true one--grew up on the bay and watched them in old Kesar.)

 

Sooo.....onto a different magical season, 1988.

My first entry is a game where James Brooks was out injured and Stanley Wilson was hobbled with a back injury.  Sam Wyche had no choice but to throw his limited experienced rookie into the fray to shoulder the load....and a Cincinnati folk-hero/icon was born......I bring you the Ickey Woods breakout game.   Oct 9, 1988, Bengals vs Jets.

Next up Bengals Steelers rematch in Riverfront.   To put it in the words of recently departed Mr. Spock..."Complete and total annihilation...."
