Thank you for posting this!!! I'm a Packer fan and I was at this game. A group of us drove up from Milwaukee and we got tickets outside the Met from scalpers. I was sitting in the first row of the upper level of the left field stands, at about the 40-yard line, right in the sun. After the game we celebrated at the Thunderbird Motel, which was right across the parking lot to the north of the stadium.
you're like the older uncle us younger fans look up to
Look at all that piled up snow, The glory days of Vikings football outdoors.
I wish they would stay outdoors!
@@Longenecker1776 I'm with you, Minnesota Vikings football pre 1982 was football, I know they never won a Super Bowl but man did I love those Vikings teams of the 70s growing up with Tarkenton, Foreman, Page, Marshall, Eller, Gilliam and countless others led by Bud Grant who will always be one of my all time favorite coaches.
@Mr1charlton Yes absolutely!!, And I agree they should have won the NFC championship game both of those years though RFK was tough back in those days but '98 against Atlanta, Heck the Falcons are a dome team and all they had to do was keep it close and they did, I always said if only the Vikings were still outdoors, I was p****d off after that game.
Didn't help them win any Super Bowls, Yeah, I know...AT LEAST THEY GOT THERE!!
I was born in the beginning of this football season lol. I was just a few months old when this game was played. 😁
As a Vikings fan, I remember this game. Vikes were up 14-0 when I had to leave to a job interview (I was in HS at the time), came back home with a new dish washing job and the score was 14-14. IIRC, Harlan Huckleby was playing only because Eddie Lee Ivery was injured, and he scored 3TDs. This was a painful loss for Vikings fans, but thanks for uploading this!
And today you're the wealthiest former dishwasher in U.S. History...Am I right!!
Joe Sensor was my favorite viking during this era. I was just getting into football and still love to watch vikings beat the packers.
With all the NBA work he did after his playing days, I'll wouldn't be surprised if some of the younger folks don't realize Ahmad Rashad played in the NFL.
I had no idea lol
Or that his name was Bobby Moore!!
Was at this game. Thanks. (vendor)
Thanks Richard. Awesome clarity. Love those uniforms!
Thanks for uploading this game I haven't seen in 38 years.

Back when the players were scrappy, not flashy. And home field advantage meant something here in Minnesota.
Back when life was dangerous and that was just the way it was.
When was life ever safe? Lol
My teammate from UCDavis was on that Greenbay team .His favorite WR was Jefferson . Told me how Layfton was real freak , out ran the Dallas Cowboys .
Qb Dickey had such jacked shoulder , couldnt practice . They put DSMO under shoulder pads right before kick off . he would scream of pain, shit burns , enough let him throw
I was at this game and loved every minute of it. GO PACK GO !!!
How was the Stadiun did u like it ?
@@davidlucasmachado2831 Yes, it was the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington MN me and my friend had end zone seats. Seen a few Brewers vs Twins games there too.
@@USA-freedom wow ...the glory days..days gone by :-/
George, I was at the game, too! We drove up from Milwaukee and got tickets outside the stadium. My seats were in the upper level of the left field stands, first row. Great memories and a great win for the Pack!!!
@@mikem9856 how was Minnesota back then ? Was it more rural ? Bloomington is on the outskirts right ?
John Jefferson should have stayed with the Chargers where he had 36 TDs and 3,431 receiving yards in 3 years. Instead he got money gready and ended up getting traded to Green Bay. He was never the same after the trade, his next five seasons he never had another 1,000 yard season and only 11 TD catches. In fact, in three of those five seasons he didn't have a single TD catch. In 1981 the Chargers ended up just one game away from the Super Bowl. Sad ending for money.
So you think he should have played for little money when he had the skills to get paid a lot more? No way, take the money. Chargers barely won the division and their playoff game in 1981. By 1983 they weren't very good.
@@whataboutrob442 Little money? The NFL wasn't making the BIG dollars like they do now. The average NFL salary in 1980 was $78K and the NFL's entire payroll was about $81 Million (today the NFL is worth $15 Billion.) By 1980 JJ was making $100K ($269K in today's money) plus incentives which was a lot more money than most receivers were being paid at that time. By comparison, in 1980 The Steelers' Lynn Swann made $130K ($412k in today's money) but he had four SuperBowl rings and was a Superbowl MVP to show for his worth. As far as JJ's "skills to get paid a lot more", you can equally argue both ways about that. He was either a result of the system (Don Coryell's legendary air offense led by HOF QB Dan Fouts) where he had 36 TD catches and 3,431 yards in 45 games with the Chargers, or he just wasn't as good and consistent as other top receivers. After he went to Green Bay (then Cleveland) he had only 11 TD catches and 2,283 yards in 57 games. I think he should have just stayed with the Chargers. In the 1981 pre-season the Chargers were the favorites to win the SuperBowl. They weren't picked to "barely" win their division. They were the team to beat. And the reason they struggled during the season (starting 4-1, then going 2-4, then finishing 4-1) wasn't because of JJ not being on the team (He was replaced by Wes Chandler who was just as great) but because the Chargers never found a replacement for losing their best defensive lineman Fred Dean (who was also traded.) The offense still scored almost 30 points a game but the defense gave up 24 points a game and never had the same defensive pressure once Dean left. Yet, they still made it to the NFC title game. Not bad. The Packers didn't even make the playoff that year.
@Mr1charlton Exactly. And when he left, the Chargers were never the same. In that '81 season 3 of the Chargers 6 losses were by a combined total of 6 points and the other 3 blow out losses was because they had no pass rusher. They should have lost only two games at worst. I believe that if Fred Dean stayed in SD the Chargers would have won the SuperBowl that year. No doubt. He was difference, not JJ. And even if San Francisco still went on to the SB (without the trade) against the Chargers they had nobody that could've stopped Fred. Trading him was the biggest mistake that Chargers owner Gene Klein ever made. It basically ruined their franchise for years. Some players are worth keeping no matter the price because the outcome is well worth it. But Klein never understood that as a owner. He was too cheap.
Thank you for these games you’ve been posting
13:20 Awesome play!
Love watching the kickers of the time kicking like an old fogey. Miss this era of the NFL, real football. 🏉
Real football hasn't been played since the '20s, '30s, & 40's the game of so-called real football was changed with the advent of the forward pass.
As a Packers fan we had to wait another decade for Brett. 🙄
Sure, but Lynn Dickey was phenomenal
These were my favorite Vikings jersey followed by the ones they had in the 90's to early 2000's.
Definitely the best Viking jerseys of all time
In the 1980's after this game, the packer was able to handle the Skol pretty easy. Then the 1990's came when Minnesota held its own against Brett Farve at home most of the time
In the 80s it seemed the Vikings biggest rivalry game was against Chicago not Green Bay.At least from 1984 when the Bears won their first NFC Central title and first division title of any kind since 1963. And 1992, when Denny Green and Mike Holmgren took over the Vikings and Packers.
Thanks for posting this! SUBBED! The last hurrah for the Ol Met! I was a Senior in HS 81-82.
Thank you for watching and subscribing to my channel.
Neither of these teams made the playoffs in '81, but my Giants did. First time in 18 years. Have no fear, LT was here and just 5 years from a huge Super Bowl win.
I played linebacker in the NFL for 5 seasons. You know what was my favorite part about playing football? PILING ON, DUDE!!!
I played guard-tackle in highschool. I would guard the Gatorade and tackle opposing players who would try to drink from it.
Just wanted to say thanks Rich always putting up classics thanks again bro 🙏
Awesomely awesome! Thanks! Love your channel!!
I believe this was the next to last Vikings game at Metropolitan Stadium
Gotta love Brookshire Staubach
He was so good with Pat Summeral in the 70s. Football was so much fun to watch with guys like Tom Brookshire. RIP Tom Brookshire.
@@deanladue3151 Totally agree Dean. He kept it loose and fun.
Two awesome men as head coaches. Bud Grant worked well with all his players. Carl Ellen who Bud tried to convince every year that he needed to put on 15 to 20 ils but always refused has like his teammates only said the very best of Bud as a person and a coach.
This would be the last year of the ol Met stop with the wild throws, Dickey
Only in Green Bay could Bart Starr have been a coach for nine seasons. During this time, the Packers only had two winning seasons (one was during the strike year of 1982), only made the playoffs once (again in 1982 when 16 teams made the playoffs) and only won one playoff game (again in 1982). If this had been any other team, Starr would probably not have made it past the third season but because he was very popular in Green Bay, he managed to last as long as he did. He is a perfect example of what can happen when coaches are hired more out of sentiment than ability.
Yeah the packers had an amazing run of fertility. I believe they only made the playoffs once in a twenty year span. Absolutely pathetic
Green bay didn't have a general manager until ron wolf came.
The reason why the Packers didn't have a lot of money, so the head coach was really team President g m and head coach
Back in the 70's whoever played at the Met was a very difficult place for the opponent to win. For Minnesota this was a disappointing season when they ended up have a 5 game losing streak to finish out the year.
Lofton was awesome.
@Richard Waldrup...not sure where you find these, but thank you. It’s nice to reminisce. I’m hoping you can upload more Viking games.
RIP to Tom Brookshier 01/29/2010. He drives me a little nuts with his repeating of the terms “safety man” and “play pass action.”
@Mr1charlton Brookshier was very knowleable. He was a better analyst than at play by play.
@@tommyparkerparkerTom is a legend.
The new Super Bowl champions - albeit uncrowned - are the Green Bay Packers.
I remember John Jefferson had a circus catch in this game and Tommy Kramer threw an interception in the end zone.
Even though I grew up watching this stuff, it seems so odd seeing *everyone* on offense except the QB get into a full three-point stance.
Both benches on the same side of the field. That was so weird. We did that in Youth football.
When the Pack played half there games in Milwaukee both teams were also on the same side of the field. Barely enough room to get a Football field in County stadium. A stretch of terrible players at that time.
@@garyfuiten5126 it must be a northerner thing 🤣
Different #12 today. Wow football is so much faster now. 😳
no its not
@@billcephus ... Yes... it is! The players are faster and stronger now days. The strength and conditioning programs that teams in the NFL have in today's world are far superior as to what they had back in the day.
@@MJScoutArchMar And they all a bunch of wokens that support criminals. I don't care how fast players are now. I rather watch this type of football over the sports entertainment /political nonsense today.
1981: Those white facemasks are awesome.
2021: Those white facemasks are racist.
Those white facemasks the Vikings wore were great looking. Not sure why they only wore them for 5 years though.
Go pack Go!
Much appreciated...thanks
If I'm not mistaken, my Skol took a 14-0 lead but the packer took the game from there easy. I haven't seen this game since 1981 while I was in HS playing for my team
Thanks for the upload, Richard. Keep with the great work 👍. Do you have any of these 1983 Packers games: Week 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10?
Tommy Kramer was one of my favorite Vikings
As my father would say, "at least they won't get shut out'.
Bart Starr my favorite Packer COACH.
Why?
Vikes never should’ve went indoors.
At the 29:25 mark. The Los Angeles Rams had a rough season and that game was the beginning of the end for inconsistent injured prone Pat Haden.
Back when it was a man's game!
So I guess you never played huh!!
Why are there 2 running backs in the backfield? Is this legal?...
Lol
Would love it if you could get your hands on a copy of 1981 MNF Minnesota at Atlanta.
I heard it was a good game.
@@survivor5044 Remember staying up late on a school night to watch it when I was a kid living in Atlanta back in the early eighties.
Staubach reminds me of Aikman in his commentary
Go Pack Go👍😀🧀
good tough mems. wicon '81, SD tv's with rabbit ears, cold as H, packers struggling. are any of these late 70's early 80's lost names like the punter ray stachowicz invited to packer pre season reunion games?
Who is Tom Brookshier's color man?
Of the 44 starters, I only recognized 3 names. Ahmad Rashad, Tommy Kramer and James Lofton. Smh
You must be young. I remember about 70% of them.
Cool game before the Vikings turned wussy and moved indoors.
John Jefferson could have had a HOF career if he’d stayed with the Chargers and Air Coryell.
I thought he was in. They let about 52 players a year in, unlike baseball that may not have any.
@@dskyyksd - He only played for 7 years and had a total of 5,714 yards receiving. Sadly, not nearly enough stats to make it.
Run, run, incomplete. Typical 70s 80s packers 😂
The audio is slightly ahead of the video
For whatever reason,…the world just seems to be in a better place when the Vikings lose.
Even in reruns.
The packers had a twenty year stretch where they made the playoffs once lol
The player's weren't full of roids
Or taking a knee for violent criminals
Bud Grant was known to run a clean program with no drugs.
That could be a contributing factor
to why they got so physically dominated playing Miami
Pittsburgh and Oakland.
The Vikings were considered undersized even in the 70s.
Being lighter on their feet may
have helped on a frozen home field in the playoffs.But on neutral
fields in good weather they got steamrolled.
My brother was at that game
have to say...the calls back then are as bad as they are now.
Hi Richard. I could have swore you had 1983 Week 12 Redskins at L.A Rams at one time?
I had it posted about 5 years ago before the NFL blocked it. This is the link to the game from Google Drive.

@@survivor5044 Awesome!! You're the man!
Any chance of having the vikings packers game Tommy Kramer throws 6 TDs
What year was it? I'll try to find it or get the game from a private collector.
nice, thanks as always Richard! been meaning to ask, do you know of any sites where people sell games? the only one i know is myfootballdvds, now that sell.com is gone
www.aaaclassicsports.com/ Please use this seller at your own risk. He sent me one dvd to a game that was un-readable. Sent me a game to replace another one he claimed to have on his list. Luckily for me, he did send me the game I asked for.
@@survivor5044 ah okay, thanks for the warning. i'll be sure to check them out!
whi is doing the color commentary?
Roger Staubach.
How come Packer fans never bring up this era?
Why don’t Vikings fans bring up any era?
You must not be talking to any Vikings fans because older fans will talk about the 70s all the time.
We Vikings fans love to talk about
Super Bowl seasons or NFC Championship Game seasons.
We just don’t have much to say about how those seasons ended
he called an Abba cus an Abock us
Dickey really misses some throws including throwing into coverage,... can really appreciate Rodgers now.
5 Interceptions for Tommy Kramer. I love it. Even 100 years later. Rodgers had 5 interceptions the entire season in 2020. Hahahah. The Vikings have always sucked.
Guys named Lynn do not make good quarterbacks.
Lynn Dickey was a great deep ball thrower. He had some great years, but the Packers never had a Defense or OLine. Dickey was severely injured in a car accident and came back to be a damn good pocket QB.
Always liked Lynn as a kid. But watching these games now, he had his problems. Give him credit, he was beat up with no protection
Thanks for the upload Richard Waldrup!
Jan Stenerud ! Wow. Memories lol
My favorite Packer era, Dickey at qb!
My favorite Viking player of all time, Tommy Kramer! Amazing how the Packers have only had a few primary qb's since 1980, Lynn Dickey, Brett Favre and Aaron Rogers.
Does the magic man count?
@@MJScoutArchMar Lol, I suppose he had enough starts to get mentioned. But I couldn't remember his name.
@@scottyb83 .. Don Majkowski. I remember when he got hurt Brett Favre came in and never looked back.
Might be able to add Love
What!! No dancing in the end zone? No pointing for a first down? This can’t be football.
Certain teams such as Dallas and Atlanta pioneered players showboating in the 70s and early
80s so it’s not like nobody was doing those things. They just didn’t really happen on a Bud Grant or Bart Starr coached team
@TheLAGopher I agree. Also now every team does it
