Oakland in its glory days.

Ghost to the post!!!!

In the 1977 playoff championship game against Denver, the raiders got hosed by the officials on the Lytle fumble that wasn't called. Oakland against Dallas would have been quite an interesting SuperBowl, with Stabler going against Staubach, Madden vs Landry.

@gfpirate I agree.

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 It did occur, I believe in 1980 with White/Martin vs. Upshaw/Shell. However, I don't think Randy White was with Dallas in 1974. He was a rookie in 1975. I still would love to have seen an Oakland-Dallas Super Bowl, not only because they were two great teams, but also the way the game could have been sold by contrasting the two personalities of the teams.

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 Good point. The Super Seventies!

@Bigbadben7 I TOTALLY agree with you there. By the way, do you notice that just about ALL of the big guys on the offensive and defensive lines back then were much more solid muscle, much more physically fit? you know, before that fat ass 1980's William Perry Shit became popular? You ever noticed during the 1970's, that you didn't really see much bellies hanging out from under their jerseys. God I miss the 1970's. And you are right. The GOLDEN ERA OF FOOTBALL. :)

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 Instead of arguing, and I'm as guilty as anyone, we ought to be be proud of the 70s. It was easily the NFL golden era. No era had as much grace and brute force at the same time. The players were gaining more agility than in decades past but at the same time the old school rules were still in affect on Defense through 77 and were often still permitted in 78 and 79.

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 But Honestly, I don't blame you for your comment. That is, if you are a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. But you will have to forgive me. I'm a fan of the Oakland Raiders. Plus I grew up here in Oakland during that wonderful time of the 1970's. When it was almost inevitable for a kid to become a Raiders fan. So naturally, I will admit that I'm just a "LITTLE" biased toward the Raiders. LOL! So you'll have to forgive me.

@Bigbadben7 Well guess what, my fiend, Oakland BEAT Denver in that same location earlier in the year 24-14. So home field advantage had NOTHING to do with it. Oakland owned Denver back then. And as for Dallas, if they had come into Super Bowl XII making all them mistakes, like they did against Denver, it would have been a done deal for the Cowboys. Curtains. OAKLAND WOULD HAVE KILLED DALLAS!! HOWEVER; Oakland vs Dallas in Super Bowl XII, bot bringing their "A" game, NOW you MIGHT have a point.
the raiders are getting jipped, they should have one more HOF in Kenny Stabler

1974 and 1977 Raiders were teams that could beat quite a few Super Bowl champs more often than not IMO. also 1976 Raiders were the greatest team ever
