San Diego Chargers vs Oakland Raiders 1979 TNF Week 9
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2019
- This is a special TNF game on ABC Sports, as the (6-2) Chargers take on the (4-4) Raiders. Oakland can come within one game of San Diego in the AFC Western Division. If it turns out the other way, then the Chargers would take a 3 game lead over the Raiders, which could make it tough for them to make the playoffs.

A RARE Thursday game back when Thursday Night Football was a rare treat rather than the eyesore it is today
I enjoy them because I love football.
I agree.
True, The days when Thursday night and Sunday night were part of ABC's package.
Back when players were allowed to play the only flags flying were on the stadium.
R.I.P. Cliff Branch. :(
Mark Van Eeghen will always be one of my all time favorite Raider greats.
Thanks for this rare upload! Great to see the 1979 Raiders clicking on all phases. With the emergence of Lester Hayes, Willie Jones and Mike Davis in this game we got a little preview of how awesome the following year would be.
The Raiders secondary was a great example of what a fine Defensive Backs coach Willie Brown was! R. I. P. Original #24!
@@davidcobb2693 Never thought of that. Boy that's the truth.
@@shanetrimble9265 I was fortunate enough to see Willie Brown play in person in 1975 and he was always communicating with and pointing to where he wanted his fellow DB's to line up before each play, it was like having a coach on the field in the middle of every play and of course, Willie Brown intercepted a pass in that game.
Remember this game like it was yesterday. 40 years ago? I am old.
Nah
Dom Coryell loved popsickles. Mark Van Egghan should be hall fame.
Tom Flores, the 1st Mexican american to be a head coach in the NFL, The 1st Mexican american to win a Super bowl as a Head coach in the NFL. Super bowl 15 saw Jim Plunkett, the 1st mexican american as a quarterback to lead his team to victory in Super bowl 15. Raiders 27, Eagels 10. Rod Martin had 3 interceptions.
Alot of people do not know that TOM FLORES has 3 super bowl rings. 2 as the raiders head coach, 1 as a player. He was on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Super bowl 4 team as a back-up QB.
1:21:03 - The Chargers were still in the game after this touchdown. They just couldn't get it done in the final quarter of play. The Raiders were in a zone that night.
GREAT game. Thank
you so much
This was a great game. I swear to God if Coryell isn't inducted next year when they could have up to 20 enshrinees at Canton then he will never get in :(
Coryell's regular season coaching record of 111-83-1, a .572 winning percentage should merit induction, but 3-6 in playoff games hurts and his 22-34 record in his final 4 seasons doesn't help his cause. His 1974-1976 record with the Cardinals was 31-11 and with the Chargers from 1979-1982 he was 39-18, 47-22 if you add his 1978 record after he took over in Week 5.
Except for 1981, the Raiders *owned* Coryell's Chargers. No game demonstrated this more than the Monday Night game those teams played in 1982.
Not to offend you, because you are clearly a Coryell fan. But no way does Coryell belong in the HOF. Without a doubt, Coryell was an offensive genius. But a Hall of Fame head coach has to instill discipline, and Coryell - whether in St. Louis or San Diego, coached the most turnover-prone, penalized teams year in and year out. He was the antithesis of Bill Belichick, whose teams made few mistakes and finished every block and tackle.
@@joeleicht5764 I can certainly see that argument however the offense that he created was one of the most forward thinking offenses of all time and the concepts of said offense has been a key part of the football playbook since then.
That said i'm glad that Coryell finally got into the Hall as he was deserving of it IMO.
Opening line: "Mike Wood pounds it".😂
Booker Russell: 3 carries, 3 yards, 3 touchdowns.
I went to High School with Ira Mathews. Rockford East High. Our football team was undefeated since Jr high at Lincoln . Ira and Russel Pope went on to play pro. Also Cheap Trick was our band. Yeah US! Hahaha.
Awesome thanks
They cut off the intro? WHY WHY WHY would they cut the intro short? That has so much nostalgia value!
Whoever recorded this game should have kept the MNF intro. The value of it is priceless to football fans everywhere.
True, but whoever taped this in 1979 probably took the intro for granted, since they probably saw it every week.
@@survivor5044 we're happy for anything we can get.
grate game , tanks
I was wondering if #26 Clarence Hawkins, and #27 Frank Hawkins who played for the Raiders a couple of years later are related. They are built the same, and had the same style of walk. Frank Hawkins got his Super Bowl ring in SBXVIII.
30 interceptions last year, 5 last week ...💡 let's put him in the hall of fame 😫
1:10:40 WOW!
In typical Howard Cosell style, he gave Don Coryell’s name unique elocutionary flair. Either that, or Cosell simply mispronounced it.
09/30/1979 Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders, PLEASE
According to Dan Moldea in his book "Interference", this game was rigged for the Raiders to cover the point spread. The referee in this game was implicated for fixing games, although the NFL never made this public information.
Wow makes you wonder about that kick return
Snake picked them apart
THIS WAS FOOTBALL....70s 80s and into the 90s were the Golden Ages IMO....so fun to watch..soft now....D Spanos ruined the Chargers franchise esp. for the fans
Deep. My earthly mom passed away this date
I'm sorry. May she rest in peace.
Please, upload Giants vs Rams ‘81 week 14. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We never got to see cowboys v chargers Super Bowl in these years..the game that never was.
The Super Bowls that never were, Cowboys versus Raiders, Super Bowls X, XII and XV ALL had the possibility of a Dallas v. Oakland matchup.
Back when the Raiders were relevant. Las Vegas will be waiting years just to win the AFC west. Overrated coach with mediocre players.
NFL is mediocre now IMO
The year San Diego got shut out by the innefective Denver Broncos 7-0 at Denver because of lack of kicker. San Diego missed 3 field goals. Using that has been, Roy Gerala. Seattle would knock the Raiders out of the playoffs 29-24 last game of the season. Chargers as usual would flop in the playoffs to a quarterback named Gifford Neilson. They had homefield advantage throughout the playoffs with a 12-4 record.
1979 Cowboys “Hold my beer”
@@mjwatts1983 Roy Gerala should be hall fame.
The Oilers had their signals.
Thors day 🌃 ⚡💀👀🎃👻🎅🎄🔨💣💰🇺🇸
They could never beat the Raiders lost twice a year to them every year
Chargers beat the Raiders with a 13-game streak from 2003-2009
