Bosko come on down and help us judge!The Greater KC science fair is tomorrow and Friday!
Bert Jones. Played for LSU and Baltimore. One of the best players in the NFL in the 70s
1977 Baltimore Colts indeed! Youtube has full replay of them vs. the defending World champ Raiders. One ole Joey would love...............
#2 all time Raiders game just behind the "Holy Roller". I love KC Wolf (met him at a race event year before last cool guy) but the SD Chicken was INCOMPARABLE.
See you are a chemist at heart! Bosko likey molecules..................
That one was not really improbable. Raiders had just beaten Philly three years prior with Plunkett. The Holy Roller was one of the zaniest, most bizarre games in NFL history.
Redskins were defending champs and a huge favorite. Come on bro. Raiders played the game of their lives. Know your history, bruh.
I know it to a T. Marcus Allen's reverse run. Washington was not as good as advertised that year. I still remember our (lowly at the time) Chiefs holding a 12-0 halftime lead over them in DC. Repeats are rare. They were very, very lucky to hold off Montana and the Niners. This is all from memory no googling, BTW.............
It’s REALLY obvious you didn’t look up the information. My memory is a little different.
But let’s Google.
1. The Redskins went 14-2 with their two losses by a total of two points
2. The Redskins' 541 points scored and +209 point differential was the best in the league, with the 541 points setting an NFL record at the time.
3. The 1983 Redskins also had a turnover margin of +43, an NFL record.
4. Washington was the first team since the merger to record more than 60 takeaways (61).
Let’s me just say this about the memories off the top of your head. Bahahahahaha
Redskins were the most dominant team in league history up to that game.
Rarely. Textbook elite RB indeed. Always leaning forward and he had a very rare, in my mind, field sense. Still look back at those Marty years wondering "what if" especially 1993 when they inexplicably lost at home to the then struggling Chicago Bears which cost them home field vs. Buffalo in the title game. Marcus had an amazing year and a game sealing TD in Houston that is on youtube. Until Mahomes arrived here that was, in my mind, KC's #1 playoff win of all time yes including the 1969 AFL title game.
Did you watch their games? No they were not. San Francisco had injury issues early in the season or the Niners would have wiped them out much the way LA (Raiders home at the time) did.
Sooooo miss those pre internet days. Times when everyone went out to watch the road games and had a great time together! Fuzzy's in Westport was extreme special to me. Watched the 85 Royals WS there plus all the Montana playoff games.
All the numbers say you are wrong. The 49ers had nothing to do with anything. The redskins won 16 games with the best offense in league history to that point and a defense that was a turnover machine. It’s ok to admit you are wrong.
Comparing scores is never a good thing. 1983 was the one and only "down" year for an otherwise dominant NFC. In fact the Raiders (hurts to admit this) were the only AFC team to win ANY titles in the 80s (twice).
Relax my man. Isn't it opening day for the only relevant sport StL will support?
Joey's "greatness of the Raiders" Al Davis line was beyond accurate back then.
