As cool as it is to watch Sweetness and Tony Dorsett go at it, this game certainly wasn't their best day in terms of holding on to the football, especially for Dorsett. Good thing Staubach came in clutch.
Now this is CLASSIC right on down to the broadcast team. The boozy fun of Summerall and Brooksy. You got Sweetness and Dorsett and the great Roger Staubach leading the Cowboys contingent on offense.This is what makes this channel special. Thanks for the upload.
Tony Dorsett Erick Dickerson & Curtis Martin are the most underrated running backs of all time & Sweetness was arguably the G.O.A.T. he literally would put his body on the line for 6 points
Payton would but his body on the line run blocking for his fullback on an ordinary play... there is a reason why I agree with you on GOAT... he did it all.
@@johnliberty3647 Barry Sanders is the greatest running back ever. But Walter Payton is the greatest to ever play running back because of his ability to make receptions and block. But Barry is a better runner.
@@AlexFeri9348I would argue that Dorsett was a better gifted runner than Barry. Dallas didn’t use Dorsett the same way Detroit was forced to use Barry. With that said, Sweetness is above both. Dorsett and Payton did fumble a lot though.
Walter Payton carrying a bunch of bums like he did the majority of his career. Vince Evans...who Chris Berman called "Methuseleh" when he was in his early 40's still playing QB as a backup for the Raiders. Sweetness had NO OTHER PRO BOWLERS ON OFFENSE for the first nine years of his career. No other great running back can say that. Not Sanders, not Smith, not Brown, not Allen, not Dickerson, not Tomlinson, not Faulk, not Dorsett, no one. Payton was a one man offense and still dominated. He's the GOAT at the position and I can't be moved off that.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot Walter Payton barely had 3 runs over 30 yards his whole career. He lacked a 5th gear. He wasn’t even the greatest running back for the Chicago Bears, that honor goes to Gayle Sayers. Who played on worse Bears teams than Walter. Facts. Walter always had a good offensive of line, but Walter was not a dynamic explosive open field runner. He some shiftiness, with some hard running, and a lot of heart, but he was never a homerun hitter; he was almost always brought down within 25 yards. Go check the records.
@@readynowforever3676 Um, what are you smoking? I just looked up PFR. Payton had longest runs of over 30 yards ELEVEN times in his 12 year career. I didn't even go through his game logs as i'm sure that number would go up quite a bit.
SPTO I was being slightly extreme, without actually going back and reviewing the stats. But I followed his career along with many others, just going on memory and the fact that I have always been a running back aficionado a connoisseur. Without checking, or Googling, I’m willing to go on the record and say, he had less 30 yard & 40 touchdowns than any of those explosive backs you named. Walter was more of that first version of Marcus Allen, Emmitt Smith (although Smith had some of the biggest holes in running back history). Payton could not explode like Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, O.J. Simpson, Tony Dorset, Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Berry Sanders, and last Adrian Peterson. In terms of explosive touchdown runs, Walter Payton wasn’t even on the level of LaDainian Tomlinson or Marshall Faulk. Walter Payton was more like a small Jerome Bettis or a Curtis Martin, same kind of break away speed, which was non existent. Don’t get me wrong, if I was a GM I’d be proud to have Walter’s dedication & durability on my team (even though he complained like a bitch for not getting more carries in the Super Bowl so that he could get a touchdown). Whatever you refute that I’ve said, I’d be interested in hearing it.
@@readynowforever3676 Your opinion is laughable! This video, alone, refutes what you are saying- shows Payton exploding through holes! His acceleration was incredible! He’s one the top three greatest RBs in NFL history right there with Brown and Sanders... no question...
1970s, 80s NFL was the best. You had a balanced combination of great defenses and offenses. Games were exciting, defenses actually stopped the offense, its not like todays Madden fantasy football.
Can you guys upload the 2007 Redskins vs Packers game? Sean Taylor had his best game of his career, hauling in 2 interceptions against Brett Favre! It was a great game!
The Bears hadn't beaten the Cowboys since 1971 at Soldier Field. The Bears wouldn't beat the Cowboys until the November 17, 1985 44-0 shutout at Texas Stadium. Mike Ditka was an assistant coach to Tom Landry during this 1979 game. Coach Ditka wrote a letter to Bears founder and owner George Halas admitting he wasn't ready yet but would like to make amends departing the Bears as a player in a bitter way and be the head coach of the Bears someday.
TOM LAURDY THE COACH OF THE CENTURY THE BEST OF THE BEST AND BETTER THAN THE REST BROTHER TOM LAURDY MAY YOU REST IN PEACE I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER TOM LAUNDRY
Vince Evans sure stayed in the league a long time. He was not that good but found a way to hang around. I believe he was the last 70s NFL QB in the league in 1995, before Steve DeBerg came out of retirement! Warren Moon was still in Canada in the 70s.
Walter Payton carrying the load for the Bears of that era. If it wasn't for the two touchdown passes, Vince Evans would've gone just three of 14 for 39 yards. 70s football at its finest.
I always felt in the right system, like the west coast offense, Golden Richards could have been a star. A possession receiver, with great speed. He would have been a slot receivers dream.
My issue with highlights from 25+ years ago is that not having any visual indication of what the score, downage, quarter and clock are leaves you with a rapid cut of plays with very little context. Only sparingly will that info flash on screen or the announcer will mention it in the clip. I wish NFL Throwback would edit in a little ticker to let you know that general info.
Coming from that era, I find all of those extra graphics on the screen seen today distracting. Without them, you got fully caught up in the purity of the game.
Your youth is betraying you. Summerall and Brookshier were the first SUPERSTAR broadcast team. They were head and shoulders above every other team on the air. Brookshier was an excellent color man.. He and Summerall were best friends, like brothers, and had a marvelous on air chemistry. Their penchant for drinking and carousing after the games caused CBS to break them up. If it wasn't for that, you may have never heard Madden behind the mic.
100% correct that Pat and Tom were the first SuperStar broadcast team. Check out the work they did on This Week In Pro Football. It was pre ESPN days and usually the only chance to see highlights besides very brief ones on MNF.
I lived through this era...watched it.......I love everything about it, including Summeralls dulcet tones.......BUT Tom Brookshires sexual oohs and ahhs are so off putting. He was exactly as I remembered....TERRIBLE!!!
More 70s and 80s games please NFL Throwback. Thanks!!
Hell ya , hope they have more of these
as a Gen Z baby I love this older style video it's like watching vhs tapes from when I was a kid at Grandma's house.
I love how the speed of the nfl seems like it hasn’t changed much. Just athletes being athletes, just a different era.
That announcer sounds like he's enjoying those Walter Payton runs a little too much lmao.
Summerall or Brooksy
@@brysonhall3082 Brookshier lol. You hear him grunting while Summerall is calling the action.
Watch/listen to it at half or quarter speed for a really good laugh.
They were probably drunk.
cbehr91 2.0 remove the “probably” part of your comment and you’re dead on lol. That was not out of the norm back then.
Love how half the field is light up by the sun and there is a dark side on the other half of the stadium
4:18...it's not a Cowboys throwback game without a Crazy Ray sighting. Probably the original 'superfan'. RIP to one of the pioneers of fandom.
As NFL fan from Europe, it is great to see some historic players and games. Thanks for this video!
As cool as it is to watch Sweetness and Tony Dorsett go at it, this game certainly wasn't their best day in terms of holding on to the football, especially for Dorsett. Good thing Staubach came in clutch.
This era of the game seems so uninhibited, so fun! Too many flags and rules nowadays, it's sucking the life out of the sport.
I agree 100% but this film has been edited
Roger was just a level above Danny white. Maybe roger got out at the right time , but I selfishly wished for more years from him
Two of the Great Running backs: Tony Dorsett & Walter Payton
I'm surprised there isn't 18 replies screaming BARRY
@@aidanhansen868 it just says 2 of the great. No need for other fans of other backs to speak on it.
@@aidanhansen868 payton is better then sanders!
Dan Hampton was a rookie in 79?! Damn I’m old.
Yup, and he played all the way until 1990, the year I was born.
Now this is CLASSIC right on down to the broadcast team. The boozy fun of Summerall and Brooksy. You got Sweetness and Dorsett and the great Roger Staubach leading the Cowboys contingent on offense.This is what makes this channel special.
Thanks for the upload.
A true classic game!
@Clinton Outten No offense meant, I was going off the top of my head. Drew Pearson was a damn good receiver in his time.
@@NFLVault war eagle and thanks
"Boozy" . I'm ROFL man.
BTW that Tony Hill was frigging awesome. Today's football doesn't compare. There's no passion like in the 70"s
The 70s by far my favourite decade of the NFL.
I am a Cowboy fan and I love this era even more than the 90s.

Tony Dorsett had a serious burst of speed, like he could switch gears in a millisecond. I'd forgotten that about him.
Payton I believe had only like 4.7 speed, amazing he could get it done without that kind of burst.
That was Dorsett's most defining quality, how could you forget that about him?

If Payton had a surrounding cast that was at least LEAGUE AVERAGE on offense he would've gone to/won another SB or two in his career.

This is gold right here. Thanks bro.
No problem!

@@thomascrowley9122 did you trick their ride ?
Chicago Bears was member NFC Central Division from 1970 through 1993 and Dallas Cowboys was member NFC East Division from 1970 through 1993 era
Walter Payton wuz such a nasty RB definitely one ov tha GOATS💯🐐
This is the best way to watch vintage football. Thanks!!!

1970s Football who ever is playing doesn't get much better
That’s a great video... Really captures the essence of Walter Payton. He was extraordinary to watch! Explosive!

Yes! Favre's last year I remember the game it was joe Gibbs last year in Washington also

That is a lot of sun coming the old Texas stadium roof. I guess that was before retractable roofs? I ask because this game was before i born 😁
First NFL stadium with a retractable roof was Reliant stadium built for the Texans for their 2002 season opener.
Wow, Mitch Tribusky went off!
Blind squirrels find nuts once and awhile lmao
1:46 - what a block by TD!
So many years fullbacks were important the lorenzo neal and tony Richardson types
Woah Nice NFL Throwback
RIP Mr Sweetness
great stuff...was a big fan of football and the cowboys from mid sixties to the mid eighties....the golden years
This game would be better if everyone in the crowd was taking selfies and filming for snapchat
Is it crazy that I’ve never seen Payton run in any game but only seen pictures of him running and I’m a bears fan
Not the usual slow motion nfl films highlight style lmao
I wish i couldve been alive during this era, when football was violent and tickets were cheap
man the dallas offense was so good
4:20 poor bear
Walter Payton carrying the load for the Bears of that era. If it wasn't for the two touchdown passes, Vince Evans would've gone just three of 14 for 39 yards. 70s football at its finest.
Dorsett was just smoother than sweetness
Old School Football.
When you had real running backs.
How bout them QBs? Running like men AND taking direct contact without the defense literally or figuratively paying for it!!
Goldie Richards getting a touchdown against his former team.
I love the videos
Bears WR were great blockers, so so receivers. With Walter and Evans maybe that was a good thing.
I always felt in the right system, like the west coast offense, Golden Richards could have been a star. A possession receiver, with great speed. He would have been a slot receivers dream.
Wht yr was this game played in.
Stalls was a really good defensive lineman. Dallas should’ve kept him. Rotate him in and out for the guys who were getting long in the tooth.

Until the NFL allows full games that's probably the best way to do that with the pre "score bug" era games.
Coming from that era, I find all of those extra graphics on the screen seen today distracting. Without them, you got fully caught up in the purity of the game.
@@galesayersAgree with you completely.
All they needed was some to clap on the sidelines.
Hopeful one day zeke and cohen will be that good actually not cohen I don't need him doing Walter Peyton thing to the vikings

Poor Walter Payton, he was on some awful teams 😢
Hearing Pat Summerall w/o John Madden feels wrong.

@@galesayers I was born in early 1979, give me a break, LoL
This video came out the year you were born. You were two years old when Summerall and Madden got together. You just proved my point.
100% correct that Pat and Tom were the first SuperStar broadcast team. Check out the work they did on This Week In Pro Football. It was pre ESPN days and usually the only chance to see highlights besides very brief ones on MNF.
Lets go Bears...
Walter Payton fumbled?!😮
Evans 60 yrds passing 4 yrds rushing. Suhey had about 60 yrds on ground. Payton 178yds plus the greatest 4 yard catch ever.
Where you getting that information? Matt Suhey wasn't even _in the NFL_ in 1979! Unbelievable.
