@@comfortat I thought he was great. Later in his broadcasting career he switched from color to play by play. That's when I realized how much he knew about football. Far from a boob.
A few things here: Robert Newhouse was a BEAST.

I feel like he catches a TD every 70s game I watch.
I remember exactly where I watched this game. I was in art school and I'd been home the weekend before and my parents got a new tv and gave me their old one. Sports bars didn't exist like they do today, so I rarely got to see games unless I was home for a holiday.
The Start of an 8-0 run that would carry the defending NFL Champion Cowboys into their 5th Superbowl appearance to defend their title against the great Pittsburg Steelers. The winner of Superbowl XIII would be known as the team of the 1970's.
@@brians7181 I think you’re getting your history mixed up. Dallas dominated Green Bay in the 90’s, winning against them eight times (including three times in the postseason) to the Packers’ one win in 1997. They definitely didn’t stick it to us. It was the other way around. ;)
@@BrendenNichols the 90s ended 21 years and 10 months ago. Yes it feel like yesterday, but when your team sucks and have lost 8 out of the last 9 in head to head, it's good to hold on to the memories.
That same flea flicker the Cowboys try at 9:30 they also botched against the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Landry got cute and spoiled a promising opening drive during which Dorsett was running circles around the Steel Curtain.
The Packers started off fast that year but were sucking wind by the eleventh game. They had a 7 win and 2 loss record at one point. After a total collapse they did not even make the playoffs.
Still looking for the video edit of this game with the radio call for the missing 1st quarter action...I know it exists. Anyone out there, if you have it, let me know!
Some observations and information: Sproul the QB? I don't even remember him and I grew up 25 miles south of Green Bay. Bobby Douglas? I thought he retired, or should have, by 1978. What a couple of bums. The Packers played in Milwaukee until 1994. It was nice to see a coach getting dressed up for a Sunday by wearing a coat and tie. This was actually a nationally televised TV "Game of the Week". What a disappointment.
This wax originally scheduled as an early game, with Chicago at Minnesota as the late “doubleheader” game. But CBS flipped them because the Packers were unexpectedly strong and the Bears shockingly weak. Ironically, Bears-Vikings proved to be a much more competitive game, with Minnesota winning 17-14 for Chicago’s 8th straight defeat.
Brian Dowling from the infamous Harvard beats Yale 29-29 and Carlos Brown who was probably filming "North Dallas Forty" were both gone from 1977. They only had 8th round draft choice David Whitehurst left
After falling behind GB 8-1, Dallas finally reeled off four consecutice victories starring here, including the 1982 playoff win. Then the Packers beat Dallas twice in the same year, 1989, an oddity for non-divisional opponents. Next were seven straight wins for Dallas.
JSYK..the O-line is why the running game was so good..without blocking, none of it would have happened..same with pass-blocking..THEY are the ones deserving the accolades and awards..fact, not opinion..
Sproul must have gotten a broken leg on that high low hit, OUCH! Whitehurst was just terrible on this day, was he the QB that led GB to the 7-3 record coming into the game that the announcer Brookshier mentioned?? Whitehurst if he was lucky had 50 yards passing this game.
Because they were playing a "last place" schedule. They lost to every good team on the schedule that year. They were 2-6 on the road, 6-1-1 at home. Whitehurst sucked, and the only reason he got to play was because Lynn Dickey missed a year and a half with a serious injury.
there 's been criticism over the years about tom brookshier but i liked his work with Pat Summerall, i thought he did a great job, during the course of the game you can hear Pat Summerrall meniton that the Cowboys had only beaten Green Bay once in there existence since 1960, wow, I know the packers were great in the 60's but only once, i guess they didnt play each other that often
@@chrisuncleahmad789 Green Bay lost those games by a combined score of 70-17. Although GB started 7-2, their only two wins over teams that finished over .500 were San Diego and Seattle, both 9-7.
Milwaukee County Stadium was PACKED for this game. The cowboys were great, and the packers looked good. Unfortunately, it wasn't an entertaining game. Dallas crushed them
I cringe when they talk about Jackie Smith. In this game, he's a couple of months away from dropping an easy one in the end zone in the Super Bowl which essentially loses the game for the Cowboys.
That pass was a foot off the ground and slightly behind Smith. He slipped and had to turn to his left as he slid down to the ground. That was not a good pass.
@@humanbeing2420 Are you saying it wasn't catchable? Because I just watched it and it looked like a pass a 15 year veteran tight end could make, regardless of where the ball was thrown. The ball did hit one of his hands, which it looked like he closed too early. In any case, I will bet you Jackie Smith has spent the last 43 years thinking he should have caught that one, no matter where Staubach placed it. I feel sorry for the guy. He's fortunate that most people have forgotten the game, even though it was one of the better Super Bowls.
No it didn't. A Smith catch only TIES SB Xlll in the 3rd quarter. As it was, the score was 17-13 Pittsburgh with an ENTIRE 4th quarter to be played. The only "essentially" here, is that it was still very much either team's ballgame to win or lose. The greater damage was done by the ridiculous Pl call against Benny Barnes, and Coach Landry's foolish oversight in having an injured Randy White on the field to mishandle a Steeler kickoff. 🏈
@@adamthornberry8475 Okay, if you want to flex on me for being a better historian of the NFL, I'll gladly stand aside for you. But the fact is that Jackie Smith, a terrific TE for 15 years, dropped a catchable ball in the end zone in the Super Bowl, and even if it didn't doom the Cowboys, it certainly didn't help, and sadly, that drop is now what Jackie Smith is remembered for. That's not fair, but that's how it is. And that's the context of my original comment, that I'm watching Jackie Smith just two months shy of the dropped pass that led to his ignominious reputation, and I feel retroactive sympathy for the 40+ years of embarrassment Smith has had to deal with. Clear?
It was only a matter of providing factual clarity to those particular moments from the game. Now, don't ask me where l set my keys five minutes ago, but somehow l'm able to recount details like this forry-plus years on..? 🤔🔑🤷♂️🏈😜 Agreed on how as the years pass, the average NFL fan tends to remember Jackie Smith for that dropped TD - and not for his stellar career with St. Louis before playing the 78 season with Dallas. I don't know how bummed (or not) #81 is to this day about that moment? But, as a native St. Louisan - and one who has chatted over drinks with him a couple times - it seems he's doing just fine at 82 years young. 🏈
No question if the league had played with consistent enforcement of late hits and unnecessary roughness and contact downfield, Dallas would have won the Super Bowl more than the twice they did during these years. The so-called “finrsse” (actual strategy and deception) that now *everyone* plays would have truly flourished, since equally talented teams (only 3-4 others at this time) could not have made up for unimaginative play calling by knocking receivers off their routes downfield and picking them up and head hunting and late hits to knock them out of the game or think 5 times (twice being common to all receivers in any era without the concept of a “defenseless” receiver being in force) there before going across the middle
BOTH OF THEM DID, STEVE COX..TOM WAS A PRO BOWL DB WITH THE EAGLES TWO TIMES, MISSED 2 SEASONS IN THE AIR FORCE..PAT WAS A KICKER WITH THE LIONS, OLD CHICAGO CARDINALS AND GIANTS..FRANK GIFFORD WAS AN 8-TIME PRO BOWL RUNNING BACK, WON LEAGUE MVP IN 1956 AND HIS JERSEY WAS RETIRED..HE WAS PART OF THE MNF TEAM, ALSO DID COMMERCIALS..THESE GUYS ALL PLAYED THE GAME, UNLIKE THE IDIOTS NOW..

Rest in peace Robert Newhouse.
I love listening to Pat Summerall and Tom brookshier, for me it's hard to watch football without them they do a great job
They were relaxed. They weren't trying to generate intensity constantly.
I never heard Brookshier add anything of interest to a broadcast.
I was so glad when they canned him for being a moron.
Amen!!!
These were the best times
This is awesome! I was at this game as 14yr old kid watching my first game in person. A lot of chirping early, empty stands late. ;)

Poor James Lofton was on some crappy Packers teams. Still a legend though!
I remember watching this game in 1978!
It was a pleasure seeing the cowboys stick it to the packers!

I’d like to know if Dallas tried this any other time during the regular season. The Super Bowl is not a time to see if some play will work!
A game where both teams on the same sideline. Wow
the scary part is that this was NOT the first time Green Bay gave up over 300 yards rushing that year (OAK did it week 3)
This was the Cowboys’ first road win over the Packers.
That's right. They had never before beaten the Packers in Wisconsin.
1:58:15 Steve Luke was sooooo underated...great safety!
If Luke went to the Bears, Buddy Ryan would still have the 46 defense because Plank and Luke were interchangeable
My nostalgia meter just blew up

Packers finished 8-7-1. The good old days when tie games could happen in the NFL. Won't see an NFL game end in a tie next 20 years.

They lost to the Dolphins the week before , took that out on the Packers, a good old fashioned rout
