I was at that game and Mark Van Egan ran all over us that day. The Raiders were hot stuff back in the 1970s whereas it was a very dismal decade for the Packers. But the Packers have now beaten the Raiders 8 straight times by an average of 21 points.
1978 was the year that the Raiders receivers kept tipping passes to the other team. If everyone wore gloves, like today, maybe things could have turned out differently. Great ground game though!
It was mostly Morris Bradshaw who kept dropping passes and deflecting the balls into the arms of defenders. 78 was a really weird 9-7 season for the Raiders. Unlike previous seasons where the Raiders would overcome their own errors and find ways to win, 1978 was a season where the Raiders just couldn’t overcome the refs along with their own self inflicted wounds. Stabler’s ability to throw the deep was slowly starting to decline. On Defense, the secondary was in a rebuild mode. Skip Thomas was injured for most of the season. George Atkinson & Willie Brown were both passed their prime and spent most of the season in back up roles. The 78 Raiders were an aging team. However, thanks to the 77 draft, the Raiders were able to rebuild very quickly. The 77 Draft for the Raiders brought in players such as Mickey Marvin, Mike Davis, Lester Hayes, Reggie Kinlaw,, Jeff Barnes, and Rod Martin. That’s 6 players that each have 2 Super Bowl Rings.
@@randyhanson4973 That he did. But I can also remember Cliff Branch and Even Fred Belitnekoff serving up a few well-thrown balls into the clutches of the opponents. The receiving corps was so uncommonly butterfingered that year that I can remember Dave Casper exasperatedly telling a reporter that he was "tired of having to make excuses for Ken Stabler because his receivers couldn't hold on to the ball." In Southern California, we got to see every Raiders game televised unless they were playing The Rams or The Chargers on the road. It was mortifying to see Kenny Stabler end up being charged with 30 interceptions when over half (I think I counted about 20) of them should have been either completions or Raider touchdowns.
Sam Nover gets excited he was the Kevin Harlan from way back.He was a Pittsburgh sports anchor who also called NFL games for NBC.Was as much a Pittsburgh sports personality as Myron Cope and Jack Fleming.
The Raiders won the first 5 regular season meetings between these teams after GB beat Oakland in SB II. GB has won the last 7 meetings; they next play on October 20, 2019 at Lambeau.
Bart Starr was the packers head coach and was fined by the NFL for crying to the media about Jack Tatum AKA the Assassin knocking the shit outta Middletown 😆 🤣
What a pathetic football game, if the raiders were playing the way they were supposed to be playing it would have 50-0 m. Stabler played extremely bad. This game is a eye sore , the packers were pathetic.
I love these vintage Raiders games!👍🏻🇺🇸
Oakland raiders had great left side offensive line art Shell: gene Upshaw ; Jim otto
Oakland raiders vs Pittsburgh steelers ultimate rivalry in the 1970s
Just win baby!!
Great to step back in time. I’d rather watch this than the crap game that’s on the field nowadays. Oakland forever!
Packers 'Toothpasted' by Mark Van Eeghen out of Colgate...Last of the great attack fullbacks...His best day ever!
Sure don't make em like MVE anymore. Different game today. Hell, RBs aren't even valued today

Stabler didn't have Biletnikoff anymore to bail him out
absolutely love your channel... keep up the 1970s games especially

Brett Favre was 9-years-old when this game was played and Aaron Rodgers was not yet born or even thought of!

Has anyone seen Mike Hunt
Love Madden Raiders stuff! Thanks again!
James Lofton playing against his future team
Long time between championships for the raiders. GreenBay has won 2 since the Raiders last won a championship
Raiders #83 Ted Hendricks "The Mad Stork," from Baltimore.
If possible, for the Raiders games can you get the announcing of Bill King? He was the greatest!
HOLLY TOLEDO AND HIS MENTOR GREG PAPA. TOUCHHHHHHHDOWN RAAAAAIDERRRRRS
David Whitehurst? Now there is a trivia answer!
As gr8 as the Raiders were in 70's, they only went to 1 superbowl.

Tatum..Buckeye 🤘
Packers defeated Raiders when it counted 33-14 10 years earlier
Wow, 3 interceptions on 3 consecutive plays - wonder how often that's happened. I bet it hasn't happened since the 70s or 80s.
I. Think. Bart. Starr. Was a. Better Coach than record. Showed. Packers were. Cheap. When he. Coached
If you played like that in today's pus league you would be fined and suspended.
Errol Mann...worst kicker in Raiders History
THE RAIDERS ABSOLUTELY STUNK UP THE FIELD. EMBARRASSING
What a pathetic football game, if the raiders were playing the way they were supposed to be playing it would have 50-0 m. Stabler played extremely bad. This game is a eye sore , the packers were pathetic.
RIP Madden...
Maddens name on a game that makes grown ass men act like kids....lol. and that's a good thing 👍
