The 1985 MNF meeting in the Coliseum also marked the last time the Raiders played a home MNF game as an LA team, as the area around the Coliseum had gotten bad. The NFL said using Anaheim Stadium for home MNF games was not an option. Games on other nights were also banned. As a result, KNBC lost the local broadcast rights to 29 Raiders road games out of 71 between 1986-94, as they usually played well enough to earn multiple national TV appearances a season. In some seasons, as few as 4 Raiders games aired on KNBC. During this period, the Raiders were on TNT 4 times, ESPN 8 times, and ABC 16 times. The ESPN games also aired on KABC in Los Angeles, due to the common ownership of ESPN and ABC. It is not known what stations simulcast the TNT games.
One of the first games I remember watching as a kid. Lionel Little Train James had his best game. My Raiders finished the year with six straight wins, but never got the offense right and it cost us against the Patriots in the playoffs.
Turn overs gift wrapped the game, those jerkoffs scored got all their points du to our TO's along with a 6'6 drip of water named Marc Wilson, even with it all we still just missed, it was the start of true Raider demise, we shoulda won in 82 again allowing the fake Jets ta beat us at home another game we pretty much gave away, we didn't score in that one n the same in 84 at the kingdome, the league kaboshed us in 83 with Elway meantime we shoulda made em pay worse an Don't take Dan Marino!!!!! They woulda had to shut the league down if Dan was a Raider with the talent those Raider teams had, of course theirs always Rozele n the league stoppin us...yeah they woulda had to fa Real!!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐅🐻🐕🐳🐖🐄
That was a good game. I often remember watching those west coast games after watching my skins win their early games back in the 80s. I didn't watch this though because we played the Cowboys late that week.
I like how they have Rolf Benershka show up in the broadcast booth (didn't hear him talk yet). Criqui of course called his famous game winning field goal in the '82 playoffs. Maybe it's no wonder Rolf would host the NBC daytime version of Wheel of Fortune 3 1/2 years later (When Sajak left for his late night show on CBS)
Mike Haynes #22 for the Los Angeles Raiders was go athletically gifted. He had such a graceful stride. I wonder why they didn't play him at wide receiver occasionally.
The Russians Did It Marcus Allen could do it all and he was a great all around player. They just lacked wide receivers and that's why the acquired James Lofton in 1987 and Willie Gault in 1988.
I started in this game #29 Hendy SD Chargers left cornerback rookie year glad we won becuz I gave up my only touchdown all year One crazy game. Crazy parties after all over town!! times One time stamp 1:32:00 I tackle Todd Christianson--round and round we went all day another time stamp 2:18:18 battling Todd again
Nope just the one. We ended up ranked 18 in defense after starting out horribly. I made 1st team All -Rookie along with Safety Jeff Dale. Who did you play for?
that's great football son...I played college ball at Cal State Long Beach honorable All-American cornerback son..3rd round pick 1985 draft son..but I digress, comparison is the thief of joy they say. Especially when there really isn't any ..... This was a great game to be involved with. Legacy
If the Chargers of the early- to mid-80s had merely had a *mediocre* defense (instead of one of the worst in NFL history), they would have won at least two AFC championships and at least one Super Bowl.
IDK, that’s a popular idea, and I agree that SD offense was awesome, and the D cost them dearly, but they had problems IMO, intangible ones, that had nothing to do with D. I mean, they never even really got that close, so I can’t agree that they’d have won title(s) if the D were only upgraded slightly. I know it was EXTREME weather, but Fouts was really bad in the 1981-82 AFC title game. Yes, it was -34 degrees or whatever, but that’s football. Ken Anderson managed to guide his team to some points... But I also don’t subscribe to the theory that championships are all that matters. The Chargers played an exciting, explosive type of offensive football that was ahead of its time, and they were fun to watch. It’s a spectator sport...what more can we REALLY expect? Only 1 team wins the SB.
@@tuckercarlsonsmicropenis1283 Never got that close? They were in the playoffs four seasons in a row, and played in two consecutive AFC championship games.
This was one of seven games that season in which the Chargers scored 34 or more points. They actually managed to lose three of those games. Had their pathetic Swiss-cheese "defense" not cost them those three games, they would have finished 11-5 and very likely made the playoffs as a wild card (though I'm not certain, since the Jets and Patriots both finished 11-5 as well).
Watching Fouts was like beautiful artwork coming alive! And Never used the Shotgun, never! Watch The Pats and tell me they don't rip off the Chargers offense using screens and passes to multiple running backs to get miss matches against slower linebackers. Same offense!
Actually, that can be said about many of the NFL's high-powered offenses today, which is a tribute to how far ahead of it's time Air Coryell really was. In fact, Hall of Fame TE Kellen Winslow once stated that the 1999 Rams offense that won the Super Bowl used the same terminology that the teams he played on used. But many of the teams use variations of what Don Coryell ran, even now.
Marcus is a top 5 back all time...just bcuz he only had 2 1000 yrd rush seasons don't mean shut..for 6 years of his prime years he was benched bcuz of al Davis and if he started all 16 years he would of had more 1000 yard seasons plus he was as versatile a running back I've ever seen...great catcher great blocker and a great runner...thats what u call an elite all around back
RAIDER NATE Same with Marshall Faulk as well. He & Marcus are the 2 most complete running backs in NFL history & are somewhat underrated nowadays in my opinion.
He had three (83, 84, 85). Should've been 1982 MVP. The Raiders were punchless on offense in 1981...he led the league in TD's in 82. They were dynamic with him being the only real difference. If Al didn't hold a grudge and it was really about 'just winning'...Marcus might have more yards from scrimmage than any RB ever. He lost five years as a starting back. And ironically, it gave him a second life in KC, where he regularly whooped our ass (9-1 vs us from 93 to 97).
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot In the 9 game strike shorten 1982-83 season I feel that Dan Fouts & Marcus Allen should've been CO-MVP'S like Brett Favre & Barry Sanders in the 1997-98 season & The late great Steve McNair & Peyton Manning during the 2003-04 season with Wes Chandler as offensive player of the year. But make no mistake all 3 of those great players were more worthy candidates for the league MVP instead of overrated Washington Redskins kicker Mark Moseley. To this very day 36 years later I'm still flabbergasted & apalled that the Associated Press (AP) who the NFL recognizes as it MVP award giver could make such a dumb & assinine decision & give such a big time award to damn kicker smh.
I really feel like if we had Plunkett all year we could have at least gone to the super bowl in 85, I don't think we would necessarily beat the bears given the beating they gave us the year before but I think we do better the the patriots. although I don't know how many times Plunkett could have taken the punishment the bears put on people. by 85 Plunkett was really beat up.
They would have looked at the film from the monday night game vs the Dolphins and tried to spread them out which was the downfall of the 46 defence. With 2 weeks to prepare they would have scored some points and the raider defence was menacing as well it should have been the super bowl even Ditka said it would have been a war.
In 84 Bears put a physical beating on Raiders in Chicago. Knocked out all 3 Raiders Qbs in one game. Same game the Raiders knocked Jim Mc Mahon out for the year with a lacerated kidney.
Look how small the players are dave krieg qb seattle looks so tiny compared to todays qbs and those smaller players didnt have the safe protection rules like today which i think takes away from the game of football big if xfl could every sign alot of big names with the 1980 rules nfl could be rome thats a big if
not a raiders fan but i remember marc wilson. man he was fucking awful. and to think they couldve had elway but rozelle blocked the trade. it wouldve been interesting to see elway play under davis who loved to air it out.
Man, have the Chargers ever had a bad uniform? Every combination they have ever had just looks great. This one was no exception.
Still the best game I’ve ever seen in person. RIP Little Train.
Two of the greats Bob Trumpy and Don Criqui!
Two of the greats.
Criqui is the best!
Dick enberg and merlin Olson was my favorite carrying miami games miss the 80s as a kid
They were such a underrated announcing duo
Criqui-Trumpy were overshadowed by Madden-Summeral and Enberg-Olsen.
Nowadays though, Criqui-Trumpy would be the best.
The meeting between these teams earlier in the season at the Coliseum was the last blackout of an MNF game at an AFC West venue.
Probably my favorite NFL commentators. Criqui and Trumpy were my favorite doing AFC central games.
That's awesome, those 84-86 AFC West games were insanely exciting. Go Broncos!

Criqui- "Their playbook is as thick as the L.A. Yellow pages." Classic.
Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy called both Raiders-Chargers games that year. This game and the Monday night game earlier in the season on NBC Radio.
Wow I didn't know that.
Gary Anderson - ridiculous talent
God...I miss my SAN DIEGO CHARGERS and the “Q”.....what a finish....LITTLE TRAIN JAMES
Wow. Nice quality video for 1985. Thanks!
I liked how they used that full house backfield that year. - Brian
This was a great game I remember this game live
Wes Chandler with a phenomenal catch in the first quarter. He had a great year in '85
That was a good game. I often remember watching those west coast games after watching my skins win their early games back in the 80s. I didn't watch this though because we played the Cowboys late that week.
Lionel James was like a Darren Sproles in his prime

San Diego is a beautiful city and deserves an NFL team (here in 2019) to accompany my Padres.
Fouts could never beat Raiders when it counted! Always was nice to see Al Davis get a beating.
Even when I randomly choose an old Raiders games ..they lose.
I'm surprised Holohan, Lynden King & Billy Ray Smith aren't in the Bolts Hall of Fame yet.
I was on the raiders' sidelines. I use forearm crutches and if you watch the sidelines you can see me getting out of the way of the plays.
Why were 80's NFL announcers the best? Listen to that raw enthusiasm. Only ones close nowadays are Gus and maybe Ian Eagle.
2:46:47
You are so right. So many all time greats.

You had a good season statistically...why did you only play in the NFL one year?

Fred Dean

Sorry for requesting repeatedly, but do you have Texans at Colts 2015 and/or Browns at Saints 1999?
browns-saints i don't have, texans-colts i do have, can get it to you by tomorrow

Better than boring Al Sanders defensive battles.

I just can't bear to watch a Raider game with Marc friggn Wilson at QB. WON'T do it! (*moving to next video*)

Raiders secondary was horrible, couldn't cover, couldn't tackle...a lot like today's Raiders.
marc wilson is the worst QB of best teams...anti super bowl QB
