I think the whole lack of real animosity between teams has a lot to do with free agency. Guys naturally (and, I think, smartly) don’t want to make blood feuds with teams when they know they aren’t gonna be on their own team forever. Why would they risk closing off potential avenues when the team they’re playing might be willing to sign them down the line? Whether you think that’s right or not is a different issue, but I think it’s no mystery why teams aren’t as bloodthirsty anymore.
I would counter and say that player movement has actually increased animosity. I think of just what the Panthers have in the last year and the next. Their opening game features their disgruntled quarterback going against their old team.
While there is some merit to this thought its also slightly bone-headed because you're implying that an organization/player would *willingly* not sign to a specific entity because of them being on another team and being competitive. A great example is Dennis Rodman signing with Chicago after playing in Detroit. If you know anything about the Bad boys vs Jordan bulls feud, its that they *hated* each other. Team and players all, and that was *mutual* hatred between the teams and players. HOWEVER Chicago *still* chose to seek Rodman when he was a free agent, and Rodman signed with them despite the fact that Rodman n' co. Were trying to take Jordan's head off each time they played each other. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" fits fairly well in this situation (though obviously its not a perfect fit)
The reason that is, is because they kickoff from the 35 instead of the 30. Closer to the opposite end zone so more touchbacks. Done to cut back on head injuries. More high speed collisions on kickoff returns than the rest of the game.
Well it seems like the new rule changes are trying to bring kickoffs back into the game Yes it will be different, but there’s an incentive now not to just boot it out the end zone We may see kickoff returns reemerge in importance
I miss full backs ,real ones. And I miss the times when players cared if they lost . Nowadays after a loss it’s like they are all buddies laughing and joking around .
Miss John Madden commentary. That is the only thing I miss. Football is better today than ever. Oh wait, I also miss when NFL films did legit Top 10 Lists.
That one thing about angry opponents is interesting. My take has always been respect the opponent, but go in there wanting to beat the crap out of them.
I also miss fare onside kicks. And the big hits. To me that is why players got paid so much to take the hits. Know quarterback can play for 20 years and break all kinds of records.
I miss when quarterbacks were players also and could be tackled. Also miss kickoffs. Loved the era when players stayed with one team their whole career. To me the 70s were a great era
@@MrSnidleywhiplash This is how i can tell the age of Fans. Most of the younger fans have no idea of just how much action their was on the field compared to today back in the 70's and 80's. Like you i miss physical football.
@@davidmiller9485they were also juiced up on drugs and actively cheating with shit such as stickum. But sure, I guess it’s normal to appreciate a time when the players were as sober as the rowdy fans.
I miss the alternate helmets. I think they should replace that with football in LA, because the NFL brought it back with the Rams returning and the Chargers returning there too.
Nfl officials not being turds, the famous raider game, deion, the 49ers Cowboys rivalry, raiders Dolphins rivalry, the toughness of the game, madden and sumerall and playing on both sides
We have Megatron, Beast mode, Legion of boom, Cool Brees, the sheriff, Ironman, Eazy-E, Weapon-X, No fly zone, the bearded pony, and Matty ice who remembers those nicknames
Another I missed about football is super bowl field….from super bowl 31-37 they have the two teams helmet on each 35 yard line. Now from super bowl 39 and present they add the nfl logo on the 50 yard line with the Super Bowls logo on the 35 yard line
23:40 I think the problem now is that the ace package has replaced the pro set. Most teams will line up with 3 wide receivers. It became more efficient to have an additional wide receiver than a full back. At the same time. High school coaches are running spread formations and run and shoot formations. This means there aren’t as many fullbacks who play in college which means there are even less that play in the nfl. I’m stealing this from KTO, but I think fullbacks may return one day. As linebackers get lighter in order effectively cover speedy pass catchers, some coaches may find that it is easier and more efficient to run up the middle with a powerful fullback, or have that fullback block. Personally I think the raiders should use their fullback often this year. Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, and Darren Waller all usually deserve double coverage, so an additional wide receiver may not be as useful as a back who can block when the right side of the line breaks down.
To me unlimited defense was the thing that I always will miss about NFL football. The unlimited defense until the Mel Blount rule being inserted in 1978.
I think individuality and interesting personalities is missing in all sports. When the big money came in that pushed all the interesting personalities out. Everyone is so robotic and worried about image and marketing now we won’t see anything like the 70s and 80s.
I miss when they let them boys play football. These athletes are bigger, stronger and faster than ever. They must be protected. That being said, the equipment is higher quality and the new rules have made it entirely too tough on defenses.
I wish I could have shown this to two classmates back in high school who argued that NFL was better than CFL just because of the location of the goal posts (CFL still has them at the front of the end zone) just to show why the NFL moved them
36:10 the NBA did the same thing too. The coaches have to wear athletic gear because they are sweating the whole game because of how intense all of them are.
Amen to that. I have worn a suit for 17 years in a row despite not being required to. You get treated different, it’s all about business. I’m a very “don’t tell people what to do” type person, but if that’s me on an NFL sideline, coaching my favorite team (Rams), you better believe there’d be a gold tie on me.
@Hate Myself I’m not talking about just points, I’m talking about the fact they can’t hit anymore. Seeing them go full throttle and hit each other is exciting, now they get penalized so easily.
@@EmmaBonn96 No disrespect to you, but Aaron Donald is 4-3 defensive tackle & a 3-4 defensive end all at once if given the appropriate circumstances such as coaching him to be the best football player he can be.
SHOWBOATING look at the 91 Falcons could they even exist today? Deion Sanders would be the most flagged player in history for "unsportsmanlike behavior'
Спорт
I miss stadiums that are not named after corporations.
Arrowhead, Lambeau, Soldier and Paul Brown. I think that's all the NFL stadiums left with real names.
@@bossfan49 Well, you can take out Paul Brown Stadium from that list. Arrowhead technically has a sponsor, too, but the Arrowhead name is still there.
GIANTS stadium
War memorial field
Shea Stadium I think was the jets stadium when they won sb 3 but yeah I can think of a bunch others that used to as well that’s a good one
Creative Super Bowl logos

@@EmmaBonn96 Yeah before Free Agency the best chance of revege against your old team was trying to place a curse on them or something

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" fits fairly well in this situation (though obviously its not a perfect fit)
yep, and all the guys in the video were talking to former teammates as well, that's another reason
I do miss rivalries. Teams that just hate each other's guts and would fight before the game even started.
One thing I miss about football is the returns on every kickoff because it seems like 95% of kickoffs end in touchbacks these days!
That’s a really good one that I had forgotten about!
The reason that is, is because they kickoff from the 35 instead of the 30. Closer to the opposite end zone so more touchbacks. Done to cut back on head injuries. More high speed collisions on kickoff returns than the rest of the game.
Built buff receivers are things we hardly see. Now today's receivers look skinny with their skinny arms.
Well it seems like the new rule changes are trying to bring kickoffs back into the game
Yes it will be different, but there’s an incentive now not to just boot it out the end zone
We may see kickoff returns reemerge in importance
Defenses being on an even playing ability and Special Teams being special. Nothing else to miss
I swear every fight clip in nfl history involves the raiders lol
They were a mean team back in the day.
I miss full backs ,real ones. And I miss the times when players cared if they lost . Nowadays after a loss it’s like they are all buddies laughing and joking around .
Miss the Manning vs Brady games. Those were fun to watch and usually a big playoff game.
Truly Enjoyed Filming and Narrating part of this...Thank you NFL Films.
They called me Foo. If that segment was viewed by the wrong person today, they’d have to shut down the NFL.
He also probably doesn’t give a F’ and still says it today lol
Miss John Madden commentary. That is the only thing I miss. Football is better today than ever. Oh wait, I also miss when NFL films did legit Top 10 Lists.
What qualifies as a "legit top 10 list"? Because that's subjective
I miss the power running game. Riggins...40Gut. Right off the guard.
A defender being able to sack a QB without getting a roughing the passer penalty for landing on top of him with all of or most of his body weight
That one thing about angry opponents is interesting. My take has always been respect the opponent, but go in there wanting to beat the crap out of them.
Yeah none of this pusiness nowadays. Football is supposed to be about hard hitting, smash mouth, and old school type.
Real grass and fullbacks. Used to be that you could tell which team was winning just based on how dirty a fullback was compared to his halfback,
Just want to give you a big thank you Isaac for uploading these videos. It brings a whole sense of nostalgia for me, I absolutely love them!
Thanks for watching.
@@isaacgreen3273 can you upload the top 10 innovations?

I lost brain cells reading this. The 70's were a great era? Really?
I guess you had to see the game in the seventies to truly appreciate how tuff it was when the receivers n quarterbacks could be blown up on a play

There are a few nicknames in KC.

"The Jet" Mecole Hardman
Patrick "Showtime" Mahomes
"The Honey Badger" Tyrann Mathieu

Harry hitman
Bam bam kam
The sheriff
These aren't bad either
this video was made around 2011 I was thinking beast mode and megaton.
Patrick “Magic” Mahomes.
The Condor Mad Maxx Crosby
I miss Howard Cosell, and Frank, and Dandy Don, on Monday night football which was on regular, free tv.
Howie and Frank are dead RIP
I miss no jumping around bringing attention to yourself after a routine tackle.
I know Allegiant Stadium has a roof but I love that it has real grass
REAL FULLBACKS!
When Chris collinsworth was paid to play and not talk.
4:21 Rest In Peace Tony Siragusa. #Goose.
Anybody else get nostalgic af reading the ticker at the bottom and seeing old players names/ game scores. Why’d they quit doing this show
I miss the alternate helmets. I think they should replace that with football in LA, because the NFL brought it back with the Rams returning and the Chargers returning there too.
They’re going to bring that back as well 😍
Nfl officials not being turds, the famous raider game, deion, the 49ers Cowboys rivalry, raiders Dolphins rivalry, the toughness of the game, madden and sumerall and playing on both sides
Ahhh gotta love these top 10 videos
I know this is Unrelated to this video, but I wonder if/when they’ll do a top 10 QBs of the 2010s, top 10 WRs of the 2010s, etc
@Harry Engel dammit smh
Who would you say that is?
Brady
Rodgers
Brees
Wilson
P. Manning
Luck
Rivers
E. Manning
Stafford
This was just off the cuff I may be wayyyy off.
I miss some of the old stadiums of the past like Cleveland Stadium.
Yap, also the Memorial Stadium 🏟 .
Friendly opponents just feels like good sportsmanship to me
33:07
Imagine going back in time just a little over a decade, and telling these guys the LA Rams would win a super bowl again. 😎
I miss affordable ticket prices...
I miss bad weather games.
One thing I miss about the game is actually being able to afford going to one. It's just gotten so expensive now.
MUD! It expect to see wallow and slide. Grass in the grill is the perfect garnish for a proper sack.
Individuality is was what the games is missing unique personalities
Miss when Football was Football.
Corporate tends to ruin fun things
Corporate and politics

The raiders being in Oakland, actual defense, actual grass, real tough sons of bitches playing football knocking each other out!
Another I missed about football is super bowl field….from super bowl 31-37 they have the two teams helmet on each 35 yard line. Now from super bowl 39 and present they add the nfl logo on the 50 yard line with the Super Bowls logo on the 35 yard line
And they got rid of the conference logos in the end zones
NFL Films should update these lists.
Playing on grass was so much fun pop warner-high school.
Crowds, and a personality that isnt such a professional. I mean its A GAME PPL, HAVE FUN DOING IT.
I miss the 16 game seasons.

Field turf sucks too, turf burn sucks and the pellets are pretty annoying
Miss great defenses, being aloud to hit everyone including the qb, Howard Cosell, Summerall and Madden, balanced offenses, ...for openers anyway🤷🏽♂️
Rivalries and fullbacks definitely should’ve been the top two, now in 2024 I also miss when there was tackling in the nfl 😂😂💀💀
#8 I hate that players now have class and sportsmanship...🤣
NFL Films needs to do a Top 10 list of John Mckay Quotes
Thank you.
To me unlimited defense was the thing that I always will miss about NFL football. The unlimited defense until the Mel Blount rule being inserted in 1978.
I think individuality and interesting personalities is missing in all sports. When the big money came in that pushed all the interesting personalities out. Everyone is so robotic and worried about image and marketing now we won’t see anything like the 70s and 80s.
I miss having packed out stadiums.
I miss when they let them boys play football. These athletes are bigger, stronger and faster than ever. They must be protected. That being said, the equipment is higher quality and the new rules have made it entirely too tough on defenses.
I wish I could have shown this to two classmates back in high school who argued that NFL was better than CFL just because of the location of the goal posts (CFL still has them at the front of the end zone) just to show why the NFL moved them
I miss fans bieng able to bring whatever they want into the stadium
I don’t miss the one bar helmets one bit.
The NFL simply isn't the same league as it was.
36:10 the NBA did the same thing too. The coaches have to wear athletic gear because they are sweating the whole game because of how intense all of them are.
If you want goalposts on the goal line and all the fun that goes with it, look no further than north of the border in the CFL.
I really like the number one
I miss kickoff returns, john madden and pat, and sloppy wet fields.
Now that I think of it there really aren’t that many nicknames now a days. Megatron, Beastmode, King Henry, The GOAT are really all I can think of.
The ironic part is that all of the people that crap on Belichick for wearing a hoodie when he wants to wear a suit.
I miss the NFL not being in LA.
Re #10. Look at those 13 intercepts. Not one looks like he would not have caught it without the Stickum.
Another classic and I agreed with number 1 coaches should wear suits in the sideline it looks classy, look at basketball coaches.
Amen to that. I have worn a suit for 17 years in a row despite not being required to. You get treated different, it’s all about business. I’m a very “don’t tell people what to do” type person, but if that’s me on an NFL sideline, coaching my favorite team (Rams), you better believe there’d be a gold tie on me.
NHL coaches too
Good Madden games
yea the friendship crap is over the top now days lol
1920-26 Goal Posts on the Goal Line
1927-32 Goal Posts on the End Line
1933-73 Goal Posts on the Goal Line
1974-Present Goal Posts on the End Line
I miss the true Autumn Wind.
This list would be A LOT easier and longer if done now when tackling is barely legal.
Interesting at number 6 they have someone speak who was/is a coach/analyst at different times in his career that had his own nickname-"Chucky".
PS-number 2 did not age well.
Brady called his own plays in 2005....along with McDaniels and Belichick...
Please add greatest draft steals
Beastmode
Pac Man, Megatron
The Bus.
I miss the defense being able to play
@Hate Myself I’m not talking about just points, I’m talking about the fact they can’t hit anymore. Seeing them go full throttle and hit each other is exciting, now they get penalized so easily.
Me too. So many penalties these days for what used to just be defense .
I miss Raiders being in Oakland and Chargers being in San Diego
I miss big bruising fullbacks.
They're taking a shot at Bill Belichick and the hoodie
Hitting. Extreme violence. Fear over the middle. I miss it, and I shan't apologize.
6:55 Barefoot kicking was about accuracy not power
It WASN'T CHEATING back then!
John Madden and Pat Summerall calling games
yup aggree on the nicknames LT should be lawrence taylor forever. maybe call Tomlinson LDT?
Roger Goodell has pretty much killed the game of football
Isaac, your cable company SUCKS with that big graphic on the bottom right! 😂😂
I miss the Redskins logo
