AS a life long Cowboys fan AGAIN NFL FILMS fucks up. In the 1976 Cowboys film they barely show any highlights of the Colts game and it was like the game of the year, one of the BEST Staubach performances ever. I have the game taped off the radio.
Yet another great Colts team. Overlooked by many. But remembered as a team that could hold its own against the dominant Dolphins, Fairbanks-led Patriots and OJ-powered Bills.
I Love this piece. Today's most millennial NFL fans don't know what Football is. I recall this Super Colts teams of 75-76 and watched them, tons of good and super players, Jones, Carr, Lydel Mitchell, Then Looney Tunes (DL). I ran into this clip piece today from Yahoo, now Im going to keep this clip. JONES - there was so many hopes and so Fn unfortunate that shoulder injury derailed his career, so many what if's for me. Not enough said of this era 1975-76 team that should had been and should had become, but Fn Life messed with Jones (shoulder) as it is with me on recent passing of my pretty Gf very much wife. Thank you PAL 6363, for putting this together. Sincerely NFL fan first and Raider fan second. I'm 53.
Unfortunately the Colts would have one more winning season in 1977 and that was that. Gone by 1984 Baltimore Colts football gave us plenty to be proud of, and the Ravens just continue the foundation laid by the Colts. Gone, but never forgotton.

Thank you PAL 6363 for the upload. The '75, '76 and '77 teams were some of my favorite Colts teams. I was age 13, 14 and 15 at the time. Of course, now I am 56 and a diehard Indy Colts fan. I had to move with the team when it left Baltimore. Still love the city, but I love Indy and that horseshoe even more. Thanks again for the upload!!

I was 13 in 1976 and what a CLASSIC year it was all year !! Our 200th USA ! Great Times TO BE YOUNG ! ...@3:10 look how Carr leaps , he was great as was this team ! also @6:11 Bert throws a perfect pass to Carr ! To bad he got hurt the next 2 years, he would have had a HOF Career.

Yeah was 10 yrs old during the 76' season & the week they played the Cardinals my dad was watching wrestling or some BS and wouldn't let me watch the Colts game on TV so I went to the neighbor's house and watched it on his little black and white TV which was all he had at the time' lol!
Dick Szymanski,the Baltimore Colts GM at the time of this film,was a former star linebacker and center (1955,1957-68). He was a member of the 1958 and 1959 World Championship teams and also a member of the Colts first Super Bowl team of 1968.

The Colts Achilles Heel in the playoff years was the poorest secondary. The Colts could score no doubt, but we knew come playoff time if the secondary didnt get physical and step up, it would be over fast. So the 75-77 Colts were 0-3 in the playoffs.
Baltimore was obviously one of the four best teams in the AFC that season -- the other three being New England, Oakland and Pittsburgh. In my opinion any one of them would have easily defeated the Vikings in Super Bowl 11. But if the Cowboys had not choked against the Rams in the playoffs, the SB would've actually been *competitive* regardless of who Dallas played. At least the game wouldn't have been *over by halftime.*
No other QB is mentioned more favorably by Bill Belichick (Belicheat) than Bert Jones. Belichick (Belicheat) served on Marchibroda’s staff. Colts were good in the 70’s... they just get overlooked because they had the misfortune of being in the same conference with the Steelers, Raiders, & Dolphins who pretty much won all the Super Bowls in the decade
So Bill Belichick did see Steve Grogan play during his heyday period (19761986; Steve did have decent seasons in 1987 & 1988. Any season you sweep the Miami Dolphins is at least, a decent season! 1986 was great! PATRIOTS beat Miami 3 times in the same calendar YEAR, including the AFC Championship game & the final game in Orange Bowl history on 12/22/1986 34 to 27! Nice place to spend the winter solstice! 😃)

Bert Jones completed 60% of his passes that season in an era that didn’t favor QBs. He was GREAT.
Along with Ken Anderson they were well above the league average.
The only negative of this film
Is seeing that stinking drunk
Bob Irsay
His son Jim is pretty much the same
This Logo and Uniforms still a top 3 Classic of today.
There's nothing in all of sports more beautiful than seeing a Bert Jones pass on slow motion.
Great fun team to root for, many memories! Bert jones was the best!

And thank you for correcting me to include 1977 to my point.
Bert Jones was amazing.
Roger Carr that year 43 catches 1112 yards 25.9 avg 11 tds
mck man Dominant
Almost identical to Cliff Branch...46 catches, 1111 yards, 24.2 avg, 12 tds
@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Carr was the DON HUTSON of the '70s
My hate for the steelers started 1976 and remains stronger than ever
Me as well! lol The Colts Steelers game of 76' was my first time ever watching a playoff game..I was 10 years old..& well I don't have to tell you how it turned out..
Because of the blowout in the playoffs?
Bert Jones went too the same high school as Terry Bradshaw!
I was 13 in 1976 and what a CLASSIC year it was all year !! Our 200th USA ! Great Times TO BE YOUNG ! ...@3:10 look how Carr leaps , he was great as was this team ! also @6:11 Bert throws a perfect pass to Carr ! To bad he got hurt the next 2 years, he would have had a HOF Career.
He was hurt in the Ghost to The Post Game.
Yes it was a great year 1976

Lenny Moore&Lydell Mitchell the forerunners of Marshall Faulk
If Bert Jones were able to stay healthy, we would be looking at the Baltimore Colts today.
I don't know about that, Bob Irsay was going to do whatever he wanted to do
Western Pa......what a breeding ground for great nfl quarterbacks
Yeah was 10 yrs old during the 76' season & the week they played the Cardinals my dad was watching wrestling or some BS and wouldn't let me watch the Colts game on TV so I went to the neighbor's house and watched it on his little black and white TV which was all he had at the time' lol!
Was at the steelers game (that sure sucked)and sat below where the small plane crashed after the game.

A dominant force in the NFL was not to come. Mediocrity instead going into the late 70s and eighties.
Had such a great season, then Pittsburgh shit all over them in the playoffs. That game wasn't even close. Sheesh.
I hate The Pittsburgh Steelers ever since the playoff losses . The Baltimore Colts has some good seasons but they could not get past the Steelers .
Nor could they get past the Raiders!
The Raiders " Ghosted" them out of the playoffs in 1977 and the glory days in Baltimore were over
