Did you hear Craig Morton (the QB) was 4 out of 18 passes for 38 yards? I was at that 5-0 game. If Landry had benched Morton after that accidental win in favor of Staubach, the Cowboys would have the Super Bowl 2 games later instead of the Baltimore Colts.
@BallinNQnz Excuse me?! And who do you believe was The Greatest Coach in Cowboys History? Jimmy Johnson? Why don't you give Tom Landry his due. I personally hated the Cowboys back in Tom Landry's days, but at least I always give credit where credit is always due. And Tom Landry deserved his just as much as any other NFL Hall of Fame Coach.
@Jiltedin2007, Had Jimmy Johnson been allowed to stay for 20 years, he would have been the best coach in Cowboys history. I despise the Cowboys but admire what Jimmy did. I never got to see Landry coach but he too was a great coach and innovator. He invented the 4-3 defense, which revolutionized defenses. And he was an assistant with the Giants, just like Lombardi was before they became hall of fame head coaches. I am a Giants fan and cannot stand the Cowboys.
@BallinNQnz forget about whether Landry was the greatest Cowboys coach ever - thats a given! He practically stocked Jimmy's super bowl team with key starters and was poised to take Aikman before he was fired.
But overall, he's argualbly the greatest coach in NFL history. He had the most susseccful string of seasons in all of sports with 20 in a row. Yet to be even approached. And 20 playoffwins. Do I need to even get into all his innovations that are mainstays in the NFL still 50 yrs later?
@playmayker88, the greatest coach in NFL history is Vince Lombardi. Tom Landry was a great coach but Jimmy built the 3 super bowl winners for the cowboys in the 90s. Landry may have been poised to take Aikman in the 1st first but so would every other team in need of a QB, so that was a no-brainer. Jimmy built a dynasty by making excellent draft choices in the late rounds. It's doubtful Landry would have made the same choices. And Jerry Jones hinders his coaches' abilities to run the show.
@BallinNQnz How is it doubtful Landry would have made those draft choices? He built his own dynasties in the not so recent past. And was only 5 years removed from Championship games. He drafted Irvin, Tuieni, Newton, Gogan.. and still had other good talent. Those are the very Key players Jimmy benefitted most from to win his titles. With Gil Brandt and Tom Landry running things, its just unfounded to say they wouldnt have made just as good with the draft. Unfounded!
@playmayker88, we really do not know. But Jimmy fixed the team very quickly. We do not know if Tom Landry would have done the same thing. Maybe the game had passed Landry by. They probably needed a new voice. But I do respect Landry. I admire what he did to revolutionize defenses. And u also need to acknowledge that Landry and Lombardi came from the same Giants coaching tree. The Giants are the NFL's flagship franchise. The Cowboys are jus overrated and overhyped.
@BallinNQnz in 1961, Tom Landry's Cowboys with the poorest talent in the league, got its first win in NY vs Jim Lee Howell's Giants. Howell said after the game, Tom Landry is the best coach in Football. In 1988, again with the poorest talent in the league arguably, Tom landry went 3-13, with almost all those losses within 1 score difference. It was not a coaching problem. It was an inevitable lag in talent. What we DO know..is the young talent he did aquire were key inJJ win their SB's
@playmayker88, we also know Jimmy was great at evaluating talent. Tom Landry's legacy was not tainted with his firing but the Cowboys probably needed change. Also, in 1961 Landry may have been the best coach in that year but at the end of the 1960s, Lombardi had become the best coach ever. Bill Belichick is probably the best modern day coach, even though he cheated.
"Tom has the great ability to recognize potential in a player. We have key players who would not have been around on other contending teams. Tom can see something worth keeping in a mass of humanity. Tactics dwindle in importance to that. What a coach can contribute to a team in my opinionm is 10% inspiration,10% motivation, 20-30% tactics, and 50-60% player recognition" -- Clint Murchinsin Jr. (Original Cowboys Owner)
" I almost fainted when I saw Tom's playbook. It was all there, things that had taken me 16 years to figure out for myself in the NFL. I mean things that just werent taught in most places, such as keys. All the keys for the D-lineman are down in black and white. Theres no guesswork in it. Maybe Im dumb, but I didnt realize anyone taught keys to D-lineman. Few did then. Everyone does now". -- Ernie Stautner
This brings back a lot of memories for me, I've always been a Baltimore fan, the Colts beat Dallas in the 1970 Super Bowl. After losing to the Jets in Super Bowl 3, two years previous, it felt good for me as a kid. BroadwayJoe has a YouTube channel and posts vids frequently. When Jim O'brien hit a field goal to win super bowl 5, I still remember the headline on the cover of Sports Illustrated "Baltimore Wins the Blunder Bowl". Tom Landry was in a league by himself as a coach.
I was at this game at the Cotton Bowl. I was only 9 years old. A big playoff win and boring game. And it was freezing cold in that lousy stadium. But it was a wonderful experience, everything else being equal.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been a Cowboys fan all my life, but being only 25 years old, I never got to see the Landry years. Based on what I've read about him, Coach Landry was pure class and had arguably the greatest football mind ever. It's cool to see video clips that give a voice to the pictures I've seen and words that I've read.
@sportsjunke108 Im 36 and had the opp to become a Cowboys fan as a young kid in the early 80's when Landry was still coach. My first memory of what drew me to the Cowboys was a Monday night game @ New England when Tony Dorsett (<-- good search) ripped off an 70+ yard run and the announcer Frank Gifford says: "Goodnight Beantown" once Tony got passed the LB's.
It was great being a Cowboy fan back then, It was something special that cant really be explained, only embodied in the Landry image.
@sportsjunke108 To sum it up, I cried when Landry was fired. It was good to see Dallas win Super Bowls again, but it wasnt the same. And Ive never been as devoted a fan as I was then. Back then, I wouldnt miss a play on TV, now sometimes I dont even finish a game. The Cowboys have lost their prestige. But as a Boys fan from youth, theres really no one else to root for. So I hope they win, im just not dedicated to Jerry Jones' success.
Wow! I watched this game when I was 12 yrs old and I was on the edge of my seat. The Doomsday Defense was incredible back then. Bob Lilly #74 was my favorite! Thank you so much for sharing this video; the quality of the video does not hamper what a thrill it was to watch this at all. This was when football was a blast to watch. I have no problem watching 2 great defenses slug it out just like 2 great pitchers in a 1-0 game. This was real football to me! Thanks again!
Doomsday at its finest, a complete shoutout in a playoff game. Duane Thomas carried 30 times! Wow The great Mel Renfro with the clinching interception. Another time in Cowboy history they had the best team but failed to win it at all, Mackey catches a tipped pass and Duane Thomas fumbles at the one yard line against the Colts. Sigh!!
Oh no! My Bengals lose again. This was only their 3rd year in the league & they set a record by making the playoffs. With genius coach Paul Brown and a lot of good young players like Greg Cook & Mike Reid, they looked poised to be a dominant team in coming years. And look what's happened since! Boo hoo hoo!
@RRaquello And that Bengals team had what I believe is the worst record ever after seven games (1-6) to make the playoffs, winning the AFC Central at 8-6. Still, until the Panthers and Jaguars both made the playoffs in their second year of existence in 1996, the Bengals were the fastest ever to do it in the NFL (and in fact, the Panthers home playoff game with the Cowboys in January 1997 was I believe the first time ever (excluding 1970) that a first meeting between teams was in the playoffs.
It's interesting to see the Cowboys before they ever made a Super Bowl. I remember this team and the 1971 one (Super Bowl champs) as being much more physical than Landry' later teams of the 1970s. They were also a lot less "Hollywood" than his later teams, which were talented but seemed filled with a bunch of prima donnas, such as Drew Pearson and Thomas Henderson.
Thx 4 posting this vid. Although I'm not a Cowboy fan, I think it shows how broadcasting used to be done and should still be done. Thanks for leaving in the old commercials I remember the Firestone one!
One of the greatest. He was a great player in his youth also. He scored touchdowns as a fullback, safety, cornerback, and quarterback. One of the all time greats. I saw films of him busting loose and breaking away for scores when he played in the nfl.
And the Head Coach of that Colts team was Don McCafferty, taking over as Shula left. Few years later, McCafferty leaves the Colts to coach the Lions, becoming the only Head coach in Lions history to have a ring as a head coach from a previous team.
After a 7-8 season with that Lions team, McCafferty would die of a heart attack.....just another casualty in the curse of Bobby Layne.
This is amazing. I remember watching this game as an 11 year old. It was a disappointing loss for the Lions. They were the NFC wildcard team that year. Only one wildcard qualifier from 68-77.
lol dick stockton is like 20 something lol great stuff..good old smashmouth football too...none of the sissyfied crap now a days blindsides of the QB to make you shiver cause you know it hurt lol
love the old-school....sliding number scoreboard.....no real highlights....just a guy standing in nfront of a scoreboard that was manually changed by changing the numbers....lol
I actually remember this game. I was a huge Detroit Lions fan growing up. The Lions had good teams in 1969,1970,1971,1972. 4 straight winning seasons. Joe Schmidt was a good coach. However, this game was their only playoff game. I still remember that last drive. Heartbreaking!
wow i was probably no more then what 2 years old then in 1970. THIS WAS the Nixon era still the beginning of the so called sexual revolution ? Martial arts and good sports and shows. The did go all the way to the Superbowl but lost it to Baltimore Colts . thanks bud any more?
Hey CowboyBud... THANKS! for the video post... I was a kid watching back then, and of course this was when football was REALLY football - the old stadiums (the Cotton Bowl, the 'Met' in Bloomington MN, Municiple in KC...) & all those old names referenced in your video were great... and oh, those commercials! Would you have the old Die-Hard battery commercial on hand? "INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINNESOTA.... A CAR SITS ON A FROZEN LAKE... (the car sits for months) IN APRIL... IT STARTED."
This is what's cool about Youtube, you have people who had early generation VCR's in the 60's and 70's, and they have archived, preserved, and transfered old television broadcast, for us younger generations to see what it was like back then. This is fascinating, Thanks Bud
1967 for Criqui. He was the play by play man when Tom Dempsey set the record for the longest field goal. Stockton was part time then. "Pro Football Report" either eminated from the stadium site, or was from WBBM TV studios in Chicago by Bruce Roberts.
It wasn't until the mid-1970s that we started seeing things like electronic graphics instead of title cards, or the studio shows that we see today, nor was it until the early 1980's that we saw more instantaneous highlights of other games in progress.
thanks for sharing cowboy bud, very well remember that game . after the two Greenbay games, then when Munson hits mc cullogh . i was thinking then here we go again. 39 years later i met mel renfro at closing sale at the stadium , love see more, GO! DA`BOYS
Dick Stockton in the early part of his career. Amazingly he still sounds the same. Same goes for Don Criqui. Even early in his career voice sounds the same till this day.
Stockton started with CBS in the late '60s, mainly doing sideline type stuff. He became one of their main play-by-play guys in 1978, and stayed there until they lost the NFL in '94.
Dick Stockton reminds me of L.A./N.Y. DJ B. Mitchel Reed. He could've one of the top-40 DJ's if he had to, but he wanted to stick with being a sportscaster.
He'll do postseason on TBS. He's now the #3 NFL announcer on FOX with Baldy! I always like Dick Stockton calling the NBA on CBS. Him and Marv Albert are the two best basketball announcers ever!
Awesome video!

BTW- The best radio broadcast tandem, in my opinion, was the 1980s duo of Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy.

"Morton 4 for 18 for 38 yards"--let's stop comparing passing/receiving stats across eras, shall we?
Al;so, they couldn't switch back to NY studio? I mean they had to drag around that cardboard scoreboard?
Wow--Paul Brown made the playoffs in the first year of the AFC? He was sticking it to Art Modell durting early-mid70's--pretty good Bengals teams...

It wasn't until the mid-1970s that we started seeing things like electronic graphics instead of title cards, or the studio shows that we see today, nor was it until the early 1980's that we saw more instantaneous highlights of other games in progress.

Dick Stockton in the early part of his career. Amazingly he still sounds the same. Same goes for Don Criqui. Even early in his career voice sounds the same till this day.

Last game at the Cotton Bowl was in 1971... during the regular season. I think the Giants.

Stockton started with CBS in the late '60s, mainly doing sideline type stuff. He became one of their main play-by-play guys in 1978, and stayed there until they lost the NFL in '94.

No, that would have been a Monday night game vs. the Giants in October 1971 (Texas Stadium opened in midseason due to construction delays).

Dick Stockton reminds me of L.A./N.Y. DJ B. Mitchel Reed. He could've one of the top-40 DJ's if he had to, but he wanted to stick with being a sportscaster.

Dick Stockton has had quite a career with CBS.
He and pro football go back a long way and we all think of him as the basketball guy.
rjpsuh06 3 years ago
And he did the Red Sox games from 1975-1978,
alongside rookie analyst Hawk Harrelson...

Stockton helped call the '75 World Series for the Bosox and NBC. It was he who called Carlton Fisk's famous homer in Game 6.
Actually, he still does occasional baseball pxp for FOX and TBS.
mdumas43073 3 years ago
He'll do postseason on TBS. He's now the #3 NFL announcer on FOX with Baldy! I always like Dick Stockton calling the NBA on CBS. Him and Marv Albert are the two best basketball announcers ever!
