- I've enhanced the 1980 Week 14 game between the Cowboys and Raiders. This one is definitely not going to win awards for appearance, but it's a lot better than it was. The original recording was very dark and noisy, and I've used Topaz and Resolve to fix both of these problems. You can see before/after screenshots here -- imgbox.com/g/u.... One note - the close-in shots appear somewhat distorted and squished. This must've been something going on with that particular camera lens, since the other angles looks fine to me. My thanks to romelovesdan for providing the DVD files for this project.
When Dallas and Oakland were giants in the football world, it was a big deal when these teams faced off. (This was only the 2nd time ever!)
strange how they never played each other in a Super Bowl...
The 1974 game was meaningless because Oakland had already clinched their division and Dallas was eliminated from the playoffs the week before. The 1980 game was the only meaningful game between Dallas and Oakland during those years.
It was 1 game from Dallas playing them in the superbowl in 1980.
@@nuffsaid783 Very true but still an entertaining game. Elderly George Blanda comes in and throws a TD on his first play from scrimmage
As a LIFELONG COWBOYS FAN (since 1974) I came close to being a Raiders fan.
By the time I learned about the Raiders I was already a Cowboys fan.
But I always thought the Cowboys vs. Raiders would've been the ULTIMATE SUPER BOWL!
I still do.
Super Bowl XII is probably the closest the two came to facing each other in the title contest. It would have been an interesting matchup, because I don't the Cowboys would force 8 turnovers against that Raider offense, like it did with the Broncos. However, Oakland's defense wasn't as good as Denver's, so the Cowboy offense might have had more success. Pure speculation, I know.
Thanks for this one Dave! This was the Cowboys team I grew up with. I got to see the tail end of Roger Staubach's career, then Danny White after that. I wish the Cowboys would go back to this number font on their jerseys, I always liked it better than the more plain font they changed to later.
You are so right about that, friend. And they changed to what they have today during the last couple of years underTex Schramm and Tom Landry. Never understood it.
@@roysorgoThe numbers were changed for 1982 quite a few years before Tex and Tom left in 1989

YESSIRRR!!! The Raiders of my youth... I remebmber watching this game when I was 10 years old... This was the year that I cried with joy when Mike Davis intercepted Brian Sipe to beat the Browns at the end of the AFC Divisional playoff game... What a great time to be a kid... Hahahahahaha!!! Thanks Dave!!!
@doclew28 I was 10 years old as well. But my mom & grandma were the big sports fans in 1980. I joined them a year later when the 49ers began their glorious run as the Team of the 80s💛❤️
@jeffbowen2608 I'm FROM Oakland so I absolutely HATE THE 49ERS... 😡😡🤮🤮🤮
It’s Browns fan that cried the other way.
Brookshire and Summerall were the top CBS team, and they acted like they didn't know WTH was happening. The personal foul that nullified a 4th down for Dallas was a killer, and they barely mentioned it. Then Summerall just couldn't figure out why Charlie Waters stopped the clock by going out of bounds when the change of possession stopped it regardless. He said a couple of good moves toward the middle of the field could've ended the game when there were 16 seconds left. What?? Interesting side note; the Joe Montana legend was beginning simultaneously in the 49ers Saints game.
This is great. I don't even watch NFL football anymore. Not the same.
This game was played at the exact same time as the famous 49er comeback versus the Saints. I never knew that the 49ers and Raiders ever played home games on the same days.
That same day also saw the Bears score 60+ points
Thank you Dave!
Back then, the 49ers rarely sold out home games. Surprising this still was happening then, beginning with 1979 the Jets and Giants almost always (unless both were on the road) had one at 1:00 and the other at 4:00 PM.
I would be curious to see which affiliate broadcast this game. KPIX 5 would have carried the 49ers v Saints, unless the game was blacked out on account of a non-sellout.
KRON 4 usually was the home of the Raiders. They also broadcast Oakland’s victory over Philadelphia in Super Bowl XV.
It's amazing that these two teams haven't met in the Super Bowl. The quality of this game is so great that it's like watching it for the first time.
The 1980 season would have been a great season for it. Dallas would have given Oakland a much better game than Philly did. That is the Super Bowl XV I would rather have seen.
Growing up in Northern California, there are a lot of Raiders and Cowboys fans here. I could only imagine how big this game was back then here. I was only 3 years old, but I could imagine.
@miami8089 I wasn’t yet a sports fan-that would come a year later-but my mom & grandma were big Raider fans and they would have been watching this game.
As a Cowboys fan since mid 70’s. White’s first 3 years as a starter 80,81 & even the strike year of 82, They were right there to win a SB. 3 straight nfc championship game loses. Some fans teams never get that far but to me back then it was just crushing. 83 started 12-2 then 3 straight loses & that era was done. Until 91 & life back for my Cowboys. Thank you for these games sir
It’s a shame these two never met in the Super Bowl.
Ikr
Why? one team or the other would win , just like always
Dave, just a superb restoration. I echo the comments below. It look like I'm watching this game live again, like I did all those years ago
As a lifelong Cowboys fan what a pleasure to revisit this game. My father was an Oakland Raiders fan. Though I was only 6 years old at the time, we probably watched the game together. The golden age of football. Danny White had some big shoes to fill, and though he never made it to the Superbowl, he was one of the better quarterbacks in the first half of the 80's.
Two iconic franchises at the peak of their powers!!!
The Raiders were on their way to winning a Super Bowl and were also trying to move to Los Angeles
Another Classic Raiders Cowboys 1980 you have to love this if your a fan of great football. No penalties for hitting QB this where the best and most brutal games. Thanks again Dave!
Especially since before this matchup, they last played in 1974!. Many longed for a Dallas Oakland match up in the Super Bowl. Incredible feat of defying the odds Considering that the Cowboys were in the NFL/NFC Championship 12 of the first 18 Super Bowl years. Oakland was also in 12 of the 18 AFL/AFC Championships in that same period.
@romelovesdan loved Roger Staubach and Kenny Stabler those pesky vikings with "Fran the man" kept knocking out that super bowl meet up. The games where just better regardless of the matchups. The rules where looser you got away with heavy hits even into the late 80s. I loved 70s football games. This match up is just nice to see again! Neither tram was the team of the 70s still great coaches great players just a good time to be watching a game of football!
@@timteeple5667 We are on the same page.....and yes, those Steelers got in the way and claimed Team of the 1970's title from both Dallas and Oakland.
Dave what a masterful job! Thank you for giving us these great stars and games in watchable quality!!!
They almost faced each other in the Super Bowl 4 times…1973, 1975, 1977, and 1980 having reached the conference championships those years. 1977 was the best chance as Dallas advanced to the SB while Oakland was denied due to a referee blowing a play dead when Oakland had obviously recovered a Denver fumble near the goal line!
you left out 1967 and 1970
Awe the dam Rob Lytle fumble! that was clearly a fumble . Had der been instant replay in 77, no way the dinks make it to the SB. The raiders would of given the Boyz better game with that great raider O line no way Dallas sacks the the snake 8 time like dey did Morton. Also no way in hell was Craig Morton on the same level as the snake Morton was average at best . The orange crush defense was a very good D I'll give Denver that
Yes it was stunning that the Eagles upset the Cowboys in the NFC championship in 1980. Otherwise we would have had an Oakland-Dallas Super Bowl.
Excellent audio patch repair job on this one! Great music selection....Ah!- The "What Could Have Been Super Bowl XV", if the Cowboys did not allow some late 4th Qtr scores by Philadelphia in week 16.
Hell of a game by Danny White all around kicking in quarterbacking
It was rare these two teams played each other. Check out the Dec 14, 1974 game between these two teams. Too bad they never played in a Super Bowl against each other.
The Raiders would win the Super Bowl this season and this was the Cowboys first season without Roger Staubach as he retired earlier in the year. I believe this was Charlie Waters final season.
This was one hard hitting game as expected.
So beautiful, I watched this live as an 8th grader.
Might have been the last time the Cowboys and Raiders played before the Raiders' move to LA.
They only played 2 times before the move to LA , 1974 and 1980
What rousing music for what must've been a great game! Great choice with the music before the broadcast audio kicks in.
This was the second half of the "NFL ON CBS" doubleheader the early games featured Atlanta vs Philadelphia
and Los Angeles vs Buffalo.
All playoff teams that year
💡Lights,📽 Camera 🎬Action. ⭐️DaveVolsky🏈 with another gem 💎 from the archives 🏛Cowboys at Raiders 1980..🏟
Thank you for this game. Any improvement is a plus 👍
I have a copy of this and it’s one of my worst copies and I have a decent size library. Initial kickoff alone lions far better than what I have! Nice work again!
Good to hear that! Making these games look much better is my goal :)
Dave V delivering the goods as always
Watching the quarterback drop back for punting duties is pretty rare
Only Danny White and Dan Pastorini ( when he was with the Oilers) that I know of.
You misses the most obvious one, Randall Cunningham
The channel 4 News commercial had such an "Anchorman" feel to it!
The Super Bowl we wanted but never got. I don't understand how they had only met twice since the merger, the first time in 1974 (actually a meaningless game because Dallas was out of the playoff picture and Oakland as usual that decade was way in front of the AFC west). Six years between meetings? Should've met in 1977 with the usual rotation.
Didn't know the Raiders got Chandler from Buffalo.
Wow, the graphics include HELMETS this year! 😂😂😂
Was the rotation disrupted by expansion (Seattle and Tampa Bay)?
@@Kerr82 that does look like it. I forgot that Seattle and Tampa swapped conferences, and played all the other teams for 13 games in their new conference, then played each other for their 14th game.
The Cowboys weren’t physical?? Bodies flying everywhere, the sounds of helmets and pads crashing together, I beg to differ lol
Wonderful match up!
This game is very hard hitting. I don't think they liked each other !
Thank you, Dave! Great upload!
Perhaps the biggest regular season game of the 1980 season. Would be the last loss for Oakland. They would go on to win the Super Bowl.
This game should of been a preview of Super Bowl XV. A very intense hard hitting game.
Rick Barry wearing a mink coat lol 1:25:20
John Lennon would be tragically assassinated the next day.
Howard Cosell would announce it on Monday Night Football with the game between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins
The Philadelphia Eagles had something to say about that Super Bowl match up
Even though these two teams played each other in 1980 and 1983, both times the Raiders went on to win the Super Bowl.
I've run into Cowboys fans who use the outcome of this game to argue that Dallas would have won the Super Bowl over Oakland in '80 if they'd faced each other, which (their argument goes ) would have happened had the NFC Championship been a home game in Dallas instead of frigid Philadelphia...which would have occurred, had Dallas held onto their lead in the final game of the season against the Eagles (and won the NFC East instead of Philly).
Its all hypothetical - my own opinion is that Oakland was by far the hottest team in the playoffs that year, and probably would have defeated any team they faced in the postseason. They knocked out the '80 Chargers in the AFC Championship, which was likely Coryell's strongest overall SD team (prime Air Coryell + strong DL), and came up with a clutch last-second INT to hold on and beat the "Cardiac Kids" Browns.
It would have been a competitive Super Bowl, but even myself as a Cowboys fan since the age of 7 in 1970, I wouldn't say Dallas was a lock. The Dallas defense was just OK. It would have been the Super Bowl everyone was hoping for in the 1970s.
Before SB 15 started people like that tried a similar argument that the Eagles beat the Raiders in the 1980 regular season game so they would win the Super Bowl. Things did not go their way to support that argument.
Actually that year the Browns v Cowboys would have been epic.
It's strange that they didn't help each other up especially Dorsett, he runs, gets hammered and team mates walk right by while he gets up.
The Raiders beat the Eagles in the Superbowl this season and Dallas got beat by the Eagles in the NFC championship
as a kid, i had been a dallas fan since '77, while a friend of mine ditched the eagles to become a raiders fan after this year. both franchises have 1 super bowl win since, so it's a wash for him.
@@toddinthemiddle My first game my dad took me to was Raiders at Eagles November 21st , 1976. I asked my dad who is that quarterback for the Raiders? And he said That’s the Snake.
👍 as a cowboys fan I remember watching this game. Good hard fought game. Raiders were the Cinderella Team that year. Glad they beat down the eagles. Waiting on SB 15. Plunkett for HOF
Unfortunately I cannot work on SB XV because it gets blocked for viewing because of copyright if one attempts to upload it.
What song is that at 1:40:30?
These two came close to meeting in the Super Bowl a few times but never did. That was a shame. Raiders lost to the Steelers a couple times and the Cowboys lost to the Vikings once. And there’s the time the Eagles beat the Cowboys. They would’ve made for a great Super Bowl.
What an outstanding, outstanding ballgame.
Thanks
Cowboys went on to lose in the NFC Championship, Raiders ended up winning the Super Bowl. This was the start of 3 straight NFC Championship loses for the Cowboys and the start of a power house for the Raiders. They went on to beat the Redskins a couple years later in the Super Bowl
Long time Cowboys fan here. I've been watching a number of Dallas games from The 1980 season. Aaron Mitchell played very well, had a number of big time interceptions that year. However he got traded to Tampa in 1981. What happened? His career eventually sputtered due to injuries shortly afterwards.
I'd love to know what happened between the end of 1980 and the beginning of the 1981 season.
I tried looking up info about the trade (as I'm sure you did), but didn't find much. All it says is that Dennis Thurman passed him on the depth chart, making Mitchell expendable. I see also that Dallas signed Michael Downs in the 81 offseason after he went undrafted. Downs became a starter immediately. I don't know if the Mitchell trade occurred before or after the Downs signing.
@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 That 81 season was the 1st season I followed Dallas (I was 9 years old...grew up in Arkansas...Dallas was the team the local CBS market showed on Sundays where I lived). I did not know anything about Mitchell until watching a number of the 1980 games on youtube..and saw him make a number of interceptions/big plays in those games. When I googled him...I read what you read. To go from how well he played in 1980...to getting traded despite starting 2 rookies (Everson Walls..and Michael Downs) to start the 1981 season...was risky for Dallas. And to only get an 11th round pick for Mitchell.....dont quite understand why such a low return from Tampa for Mitchell..given his play in The 1980 season.
The Cowboys' first-ever win over the Raiders.
It was only their 2nd meeting since the merger
44 years ago.
These two teams missed each other in the Superbowl twice
1970 Super Bowl V 1980 Super Bowl XV
love to see it. 40 years and counting for the garbage fan base.
Everyone seemed pissed at Charlie Waters for going out of bounds? (on the interception on the 2nd to last play). Landry looked pissed, although it could be about something else I suppose. Then the announcers went in on him for whatever reason. It was the smart play, maybe he fumbles and the Raiders take it back for a touchdown. If he was a younger player I'd say return it for all your worth. When it comes contract time they will have forgotten the play and only see the statistic of a big return and possible touchdown.
