These interviews were not Dick Schapp's best work. Pretty poor questions.

Two different games friend.

If you'd say that both Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch were out in the 76' game THEN that evens the playing field more. I get the Raiders where determined not to get beat 3 times. But they had better teams than 76's.

There where issues in their playoff run in 76'. Against the Patriots, you tell me about the roughing the passer call??

In th reg. season they got creamed 48-16 by that same team. Begining in 76' season, they struggled.

Could be, the 78 team sustained the great paly through out the season.

And for what it's worth I think the best Steeler team of all was 1978. In '76 they had that incredible 9-game run to finish off the regular season, but in '78 they dominated from Week 1 though the Super Bowl.

Yes, the Steelers had a great team. I get that, but I think you're underestimating just how great that Raiders team was and more importantly how determined they were not to get beat by the Steelers in the AFC Championship for a 3rd consecutive year. The thing that bugs me about Pittsburgh fans always bringing up the Harris/Bleier injuries is that you never hear anybody mention the Biletnikoff injury the previous year. If we're going to make excuses let's make them both ways.

@DaveKostka I rememebr that MNF game. That's when Lambert said he would'nt be surprised if the Raiders lost on purpose.

Can't remember the point spread in the 74 tilte game , but in the 75' game at Pittsburg, the Steelers where heavy favorites. Could be the as you say with the destiny thing. But still, the 76' Steelers were quite possibly the best of all of the great teams they fielded. They here every bit as destructive as the 85 Bears , but with a much better offense.

Remember, the Steelers needed help from the Raiders just to make the playoffs that year. If the Raiders let Cincinnati beat them in the 2nd to last game the Steelers never get a shot at the AFC title game. The Raiders had been upset by these guys in each of the previous 2 title games and had a score to settle. There was no way they were going to get beat by them for a 3rd consecutive year. It wasn't even an option. If ever there was a game the Raiders were destined to win, this was it.
