Well, there's a reason that Facenda's considered THE voice of NFL Films, and that's the way his voice added drama to every film he voiced over. I just wondered what a film of today's NFL stars of games would sound like with his voice. For instance, I wonder how he would handle last week's Broncos-Steelers game. Facenda would have probably said something about Tim Tebow "raining bombs on the Steelers".
That's easy. The team that handled both the Raiders and Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers beat the Raiders in three of five playoff matchups, including two of three AFC Championship Game matchups, and the Steelers beat the Cowboys in both of their Super Bowl matchups in the decade, Super Bowls X and XIII. As for who was better betwen theCowboys or Raiders, I'd say the Cowboys, since they won two Super Bowls in the 70s, while the Raiders won one.
@ 4:10, some Oiler helps start return off by taking care of long-time Seattle Seahawk special teamer kamikaze #25 Ron Dufek. OOPS, it looks like @4:12 it may have not been legal,and the scoring summary of this game confirms it. Great job by Dufek by drawing penalty(Ha-Ha).
Miami Dolphins of early 1970s knew how to win both kinds of games; defensive slugfest and offensive shootout (or atleast early 1970s version of offensive shootouts). 1973 Dolphins were more tested by AFC than the 1972 Dolphins
Your comments about the 1973 Dolphins running roughshod through the post-season is one reason why even the Dolphin players consider the 1973 squad to be superior than the 1972 team, even though it lost twice. However, I think that version of the Dolphins' most impressive win was also the one that put them on the map, and that would be the NFL's longest game, the 1971 Christmas day playoff game vs. the Chiefs, the 40th anniversary of which comes up a week from tomorrow.
@cjs3872 In that 1971 game, pehaps Mercury Morris should have been used. Ed Podoalk of the Chiefs had an awful lot odf success that day, though Miami made him fumble right before halftime to set up Miami FG. Field goals were missed that day by Jan Stenarud who had a below average year as a kicker in 1971.
Your saying that Ed Podolak had a lot of success against the Dolphins in that Christmas Day game is putting it very mildly. In fact, he was THE dominant player in that game, as he totalled a whopping 351 all-purpose yards. In fact, Don Shula wouls tell that he STILL hasn't found a way to stop Podolak, 40 years later.
