Jack Patera's Seahawks demonstrate the art of the fake punt and field goal. Superb commentary by John Facenda, Pete Gross, and Howard Cosell.

  • does anyone know the name of the long snapper on this play?

  • Anyone know which song was playing in the beginning?

  • I have no idea, yet, I've never liked it. I know, circus type play equals circus type music, yet, they could have used a better track. The video sea78nyj has a nice music track.

  • Listening to it again, it gets much better at the 1:36 mark.

  • The Seahawks were a crazy team back then....and were probably a ton of fun to root for as an expansion team having decent success early on. They need to go back to those uniforms immediately....and trash the XFL ones they have now. I never understood the change in the first place, or how someone could approve such a horrendous look.

  • @ytownteddy - I agree that the old uniforms were badass, however, I disagree about what yer saying in regards to the new uniforms. I just think they need to go back to the silver helmets and gray pants. I dig the new Seahawks blue because, in general, the fans look better in the apparel. Royal blue is a little dated, however, in some instances if the design is right looks super; i.e. Seahawks 1976-79 uniforms. Check out my 'Seahawks @ Chiefs 1978 video.

  • The Hawks need some of that creative football now. When they sucked back then they were exciting.

  • It's been over 30 years, but that fake FG/pass to Efren Herrera never gets old!! I also enjoy that run by Doornink near the end of the clip -- running backward while valiantly trying to shove Rolland Lawrence off of him... classic stuff!!

  • When your just starting out as a franchise sometimes you have to be creative to be competitive. 

  • Can u upload the entire 1978 and 1979 Seahawks highlights?

  • Seahawks Monday Night debut also brought "the wave" to the world. I remember the announcers freaking out when it happened. Husky Stadium, then the King Dome, then everywhere else.

  • Jack Patera > god

  • My mom let me stay up late to watch that game. What a memory.
