      The Raiders rivalry with the Kansas City Chiefs pre-dates any animosity, bitterness and shared acrimony Oakland/Pittsburgh may have had or put on display throughout the 1970's. It also goes back further, the Chiefs, Raiders and the Bills were sort of the kings of the old AFL, the Chiefs/Raiders played in and won 3 out of the last 4 AFL title games that went on to play NFL reps in SBs I-IV. Kansas City may have become a mediocre franchise during the 70's and 80's, but since 1989, they've actually been one of the most consistently successful, winniest franchises over the past 3 decades and in some respects, Chiefs/Raiders rivalry is still ongoing, despite the Raiders relocation to Las Vegas for the 2020 season.
      Pittsburgh/Oakland was very much a heated yearly rivalry that belongs firmly in the context of the NFL sports world of the 1970's. By the early 80's, Raiders had left Oakland for L.A., most of the great, legendary HOF "Steel Curtain" defense had retired, was aging and injured and the rivalry lost a lot of its momentum and poignancy.
      During the 1980's, NFL slowly evolved into a tactical series of weekly contests where out-thinking, outmanuevering, speed and quickness became just as essential ingredients for winning SBs then being the most physical, overpowering punishing defense in the NFL. That's why 49ers and Redskins played in and won more SBs than any other NFL team during that period and why the Bears only had 1 SB to compensate for having one of the greatest defenses of all time.

Now, that is probably the one modern NFL rivalry that still carries some of the same intensity, nastiness that was viscerally seen and observed during the height of the Steelers/Raiders 1970's rivalry.
      Philadelphia is kind of the NFC's version of Oakland, just with a much older, archived franchise history thats essentially almost 30 years older than Oakland's.

      Couple of things about that. I think Gilliam gets pulled anyway down the road. Would that have mattered still? Not sure. 2. Indirectly I believe the Dolphin dynasty continues if Csonka and Mercury Morris had not made that ill advised jump to the WFL before the 1974 season. I dont think either the Steelers or Raiders beat them in that scenario but hey, still makes for great discussion.

    • @davidroberts7282
      @davidroberts7282 3 года назад

      You mean Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Paul Warfield. They were the three key Dolphins superstar players to defect and sign much larger, lucrative contracts with the WFL because they were making so little comparatively with the Dolphins, even after appearing in 3 straight SB's and winning two of them. And they were far from being the only ones to defect. Kenny Stabler actually signed with the Birmingham Americans briefly in 1974 due to a larger contract offer relative to his Raiders surgery. Archie Manning almost signed a huge bonafide large contract with Memphis Southmen of the WFL during the 1974 pre-season but backed out due to concerns he had with his agent about the WFL's long-term viability/sustainability. Vikings WR John Gilliam signed a huge contract with a WFL team around the same time, too.
      Mercury Morris career, sort of flamed out by 1976, partly due to his increasing substance abuse, his egotistical rants and feuds with HC Don Shula, and Dolphins management. At one point during the 1974 season, Shula actually suspended Morris for conduct detrimental to the team.
      In 1982, on the 10th anniversary of Miami's perfect season, during a halftime midfield ceremony, Mercury Morris was serving time in a federal prison for drug possession and drug trafficking.

The Pistons treated the Bulls Scottie Pippen just like the Raiders treated the Steelers Swann: They felt he was a whiner and a finesse player who didn't like contact, so they turned it up a notch with more physical play and intimidation. When I saw Lynn Swann years later say on this clip, "What you had to do as a receiver, is not let that (Raiders secondary's physical play) bother you." LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣!!!

    In all fairness to George (and that clubbing of Swann was dirty) it was a retaliation to Blount's pyle driving of Branch earlier in the rivalry.
    "You take one of our receivers, we'll take one of yours."
    The lawsuit was dismissed when Knoll was forced to admit that his players played the same way. Lots of bad blood and mutual respect, very few rivalries approach this level of intensity. Modern day gladiators!

    As one Raider pointed out in another documentary, the words of a hypocrite will always come back to haunt you, referring to Noll's whining about the Raiders playing dirty. How did Noll think his teams won four Super Bowls? By respecting the Marquis of Queensbury rules? At the court proceeding, Atkinson's lawyers made Noll look silly by showing the courtroom footage of one Steelers clubbing Ken Anderson in the head three steps out of bounds, Mel Blount almost breaking Cliff Branch' neck by slamming him head first downward into the turf. Noll had to grudgingly admit that those actions could be described as being just as criminal as Atkinson's cheap shots on Swann. A decade later, it was hard not to vomit when Noll confronted Jerry Glanville at midfield after losing to the Oilers about their aggression causing injuries to his players. Seems as if Three Rivers Stadium was the only place which could be a House of Pain for visitors.

    • @Biggdoom344

      sportshistorybuff the two teams were constantly retaliatory. The Blount hit on branch was revenge to Atkinson clubbing swann the year before, then Atkinson clubbed swann again later in the same game. Mel was very lucky he didn’t seriously hurt branch on that hit. Same w Atkinson. Blount was extremely physical but normally not dirty. Edwards was a dirty player and the hit on Anderson was ridiculous. Atkinson was a goon, which in the 70s most teams had a few. Nolls issue was goons were accepted as a part of football then. Atkinson running around breaking people’s noses and clubbing people in the head was straight dirty. He was part of a criminal element in the NFL. Conrad Dobler, Cliff Harris, Ken Houston among others come to mind immediately as guys that tried to injure v hit you.

    Fans like to trumpet their teams’ success like it’s a game of King Of The Hill, there’s the team on TOP, then everybody else. And “winning isn’t everything, it’s the ONLY thing” (which never made much grammatical sense to me, as well as being just plain WRONG) may be a good rallying cry for the competitors, as a way to motivate themselves, but after the dust settles, I wish we could be HONEST instead of trying to talk trash constantly, and give some credit to teams and players who DON’T come out on top, because without the need to OVERCOME great competition, “Winning” can seem pretty hollow.
    For the FAN, IMO it’s about seeing the big picture, and not being willfully ignorant to anything and everything that doesn’t have to do with the team I root for and/or the eventual “Champion”.

      Mel Blount, 4 titles, Hall of fame. Swann, four titles, Hall of fame. Atkinson, 1 title, and the only way he gets into the Hall of fame is when he pays entrance at the door. He epitomises why the Raiders only won that single title, their defence played dumb. If Jack Tatum had of played the ball, instead of the man, there would be no immaculate reception.

    Both teams were loaded with steroid freakazoids and cheap shot artists. Overall if you go into the 80’s, they won a combined 7 Super Bowls in 10 years. Also, the NFL did not have the salary cap and open free agency like we have now, which allowed bitterness to grow between players on teams that rivaled each other. The Steelers would have dismantled in the early going, as Joe Greene would have signed with Dallas, Jack Lambert would have signed with Oakland for two years, and Stallworth would have ended up in Los Angeles because the amount Pittsburgh would have paid Bradshaw would have capped them. This is one reason why the NFL nowadays sucks.

They did not lose three straight to Oakland. They decidedly beat the Raiders in their very next matchup, in November of 1973 in Oakland. They then lost 33-14 to the Raiders in the divisional round of the playoffs, and again in Pittsburgh in the '74 regular season. Then they beat the Raiders 24-13 to go to the Super Bowl. This truly was an incredible rivalry. 3 straight AFC Championship games. 5 consecutive years meeting in the playoffs.
