The good old days of professional football when so many players weren't stupid, showboating, tatted-up clowns, defensive players could and would ACTUALLY tackle and the officials didn't make a ton of blown and phantom calls. Sadly, we will never see that era again
Seems like just yesterday that all these guys were playing, but it was long, long ago. I always find that astounding.You instantly recognize players, know their numbers and names that you haven't thought about since that era.Tape quality is great - has that crystal clear, live appearance. Chargers were so much fun to watch. They had the talent to air it out on offense as they did. Chargers look BIG on that defensive line. And those striking, brilliantly-colored Chargers uniforms! Super Bowl Rams, who, for a while, gave the Steelers a good run for the money in that game.
I'm with you on this one. And I am too, are flat-out disgusted with the Rams' new 2020 uniforms. It's a slap in the butt right there. Now Chargers powder blue uniforms,( nowadays) became popular-that is; well...... I'm gonna have to take it into consideration on the account. Really pretty good uniforms. But the Rams' and Chargers' 1979 uniforms (Don Coryell) , you know they're the real deal in this 1979 contest package. Rams and Chargers contest have a WHOLE bunch of English Royal (Blue) and Sunshine Pineapple (Yellow/Gold) uniforms suitable just right for the game. And I hopefully it will merit into the throwback edition uniforms in the near future. Rams' throwback uniforms to Super Bowl 53 (vs. Tom Brady and the Patriots) are the classic signature trademark. Thanks for the upload video 🤠💕🇺🇸🌮🥤
This may have been the first football game I remember watching. I was 6. An image of this game has always lasted in my head. or, was this game featured in a sports illustrated?
About the only solace the Rams would get in relation to this nightmare was that the team they would play in the Super Bowl that season, the Pittsburgh Steelers, didn't fare any better when they faced the Chargers a few weeks later, as they got drubbed 35-7 by this same Chargers team, which was the NFL's best in 1979 (12-4 including destructions of both eventual Super Bowl teams), but their inexperience caught up with them when it counted.
That's the saddest part about these "Air Coryell" teams. Too many poor playoff games (except the "epic in Miami, of course) to get into the Super Bowl. Imagine Fouts, Winslow, Joiner, J.J. or Chandler playing in the big game. Klein definitely got egg on his face when he traded Fred Dean and made him an instant champion with the 'Niners.
The chargers were playing a pretty crippled Rams roster at wide receiver and cornerback positions. Both starting wide receiver is gone both starting cornerrbacks gone. Even the best reserve cornerback behind the starters was gone. In this game you actually see safety Nolan Cromwell forced to actually play cornerback. There were other positions along the roster also missing starters but those are what stand out to me when I remember this. By the time the playoffs started at least the cornerbacks were back. But the Rams played the entire postseason still without both starting wide receivers.
Back when colors were alive and meant something. No new uniforms every 10 minutes-largely because the uniforms were vivid and more than sufficient...and because there was no need to stash cash of a new sort with each blink of the eye. What a gift to have belonged to this era.
The Chargers name and logo was created and originated in Los Angeles it’s a Horse charging into battle with a USC L.A.Memorial Coliseum historical connection and Tommy Walker aka”Tommy Trojan”and then owner Barron Hilton. The Chargers name originated from the USC football games and Tommy Walker aka (Tommy Trojan) famous historical Charge chant he created “Da Dah Dah Da“ Charge! “Da Dah Dah Da Trojans Warriors Charge! Tommy Walker then musician /team kicker helped inspire then owner Barron Hilton “R.I.P.” to name the Chargers football team from the famous Charge chant he created as a USC musician band member /team kicker. When Barron Hilton attended the USC football games the previous years as a football fan at the L.A.Coliseum he would hear the Tommy Walker Charge chant. When Tommy Walker would run out to the football field to attempt the extra point kicks as the team kicker the USC team music band would play Tommy’s Charge chant he created as the team musician and the football fans that attended the games would yell out his Charge chant “Da Dah Dah Dah Da” Charge! “Da Dah Dah Da “Trojan Warriors Charge! to motivate him to score the extra point kicks. So that’s where Barron Hilton got inspired and got the idea to name the Los Angeles Chargers football team. The proof is in the Chargers 1960 original shield logo with the horse charging into battle. The Charger is a horse charging into battle. very similar to the USC Trojan Warrior with shield and sword and horse mascot charging on to the field to battle. Hence the horse in the Chargers 1960 original shield logo. The lightning bolt idea came from Barron Hilton liking the Air Force College football team lightning bolt logo as a College football fan. Till this day that famous Charge chant is heard at the game’s and through out many other sporting game events. The Los Angeles Chargers r the true original L.A. born team now back playing in the original birthplace and not too many team’s can claim that fact. Rams were born in Cleveland 1936 and Raiders were born in Oakland 1960 And that’s a fact these other teams can’t ever claim. And also the Chargers r the true Southern California NFL team because they have never left Southern California unlike the Cleveland/ST.Louis Rams and the Oakland/Las Vegas Nevada Raiders. Let’s Go Los Angeles Chargers The true original L.A. born team now back playing in the original birthplace L.A. Da Da Dah Dah Da Charge!!! ⚡️🐴 🏈 Born in L.A. in 1960 and played their first season ever in Chargers history at the L.A.memorial Coliseum finishing the season with a 10-4 record. Da Da Dah Dah Da Charge!!! …⚡️🐴 🏈
I always find it funny when people say, "tHe ChArGeRs CoLoR rUsH lOoKs LiKe tHe RaMs tHrOwBaCkS." This is what the Chargers color rush looks like. Rams modern throwbacks are a much brighter blue than their traditional look.
Thank you for posting this - I could binge-watch the Air Coryell Chargers. Hopefully there are more complete games to be posted of them. Wim or lose, they were never out of a game and they were never boring.
A whole loaded full of English Royal Blue and Yellow Gold uniforms for both teams that day in 1979! I'm taking about a stack loaded of blue and gold jerseys and helmets!. More than 40 years later ,both clubs share so SoFi Center in Inglewood. Chargers today wearing powder blue jerseys
RIP Fred Dean, who had a monster game against LT Doug France, an all-pro for a few years who was probably dinged up here, as were many of the Rams in '79. Still, Dean was unstoppable. If You told me back then that Dean would pass away 40 years later from a pandemic, I wouldn't believe it. Dude was so strong and never lifted weights.
If, after this game, you had told die-hard football fans (particularly in Dallas) that the Rams would go on to win the NFC championship -- beating the Cowboys along the way -- they would have laughed. Yet that's exactly what happened.
Barron Hilton was the AFL president and merged the AFL NFL Los Angeles Chargers founder and first owner of the Los Angeles Chargers! Da Da Dah Dah Da Charge!!! ⚡️🐴🏈
These games from the past are great, thanks for posting however too much editing on this one. Just put the whole 3-hour game on and let it run thank you
After doing a smart thing and getting rid of John Hadl before he hit the wall, the Rams were hopeless at drafting or trading for quality quarterbacks. When you watch all of their playoff losses for the remainder of the 70s it's the lack of having a top flight quarterback that is their biggest reason for failure. Having Pat Haden out there was laughable. To think they sent Ron Jaworski out of LA for this guy. He may not have been an all world quarterback but at least he can threaten you with the deep ball to Billy Waddy, Drew hill, Ron Smith, and although not as fast Preston Dennard. That is what your team has to have as a constant threat when it's main bread and butter is running the ball to never allow the defense to play close to the line forcing their safeties to always stay back way back .With him gone the Rams should have been putting all of their emphasis on grooming Vince Ferragamo for the 1979 season after that total humiliation they were handed by the Cowboys in the 1978 NFC championship game with that completely overmatched Pat Haden. When the ram organization insisted pat Hayden had to be the starter for 1980 even though he had never sniffed a Super Bowl and they had Ferragamo the Rams fans cheered when he was hurt as usual forcing them to turn to Ferragamo again. When they wouldn't pay Vince Ferragamo which became a reoccurring problem with Dickerson they had the nerve to think Pat Hayden could go right back and they could succeed for 1981. When they obtained Bert Jones and were shocked to see that he had hit the wall after signing the contract the strike shortened 1982 season was a waste. That's when maybe they made their biggest stupid decision of all. Near the very bottom of the first round of the 1983 draft Dan Marino was still there. I don't care that they used up some draft capital to move up in the first round to pick Dickerson. When Marino is still there almost at the bottom of the first round you give up what you have to give up for 1984 to get him. First second and third rounds you do it. Instead the Rams insisted on giving Vince Ferragamo another try. Somewhere in the early part of the 1983 season the dolphins came to Anaheim and we got to watch Marino completely outclass Vince Ferragamo even as a rookie. There was an NFL films video that can be seen on RUclips where they rank all the NFL franchises by their legacy of quarterbacks and Bob Waterfield ,Norm van Brocklin and Kurt Warner do a great deal to help carry the Rams name to a very high position. But God are the mid late 70s and 80s a giant hole or what?
I idolized him back then simply because I was crazy about the Rams, Haden was their primary QB and I was a kid and didn't know any better. I even wrote to him at the Rams office and got back a signed picture in the mail! However, after watching a multitude of the late '70's Rams games on YT I have to admit you are correct. I am amazed by how many open receivers he missed and he was fragile as hell (aka, easy to get down.) The '77 Mud Bowl was a particularly atrocious Haden performance
Al Davis copied the Los Angeles Chargers 1960 original shield logo. Al Davis was part of the Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff 1960 birth season through 1962. Al Davis then left the Chargers coaching staff in 1962 to become the manager of the Oakland Raiders in 1963. Al Davis obviously copied the the 1960 L.A.Chargers original shield logo and added it to the Oakland Raiders pirate logo in 1963 because coincidentally the original 1960-1962 Oakland born Raiders pirate team logo didn’t have the shield logo in their original birth year of 1960-1962 until Al Davis joined the Oakland Raiders in 1963 then added the shield logo to the pirate logo.

As classic as their powder blues are, these Charger unis were beautiful too!
Honestly I wish the Los Angeles Chargers could use these colors as primary uniforms
Da Da Da a Da Charge! ⚡️🐴 🏈
The Blue 💙 and Yellow 💛 game
John Jefferson was making one-handed catches in an era before receivers wore gloves. He was a great target for Air Coryell.
22:19…..Ron Smith would play for San Diego in 1980 and catch the game winning td against Buffalo in the divisional playoff

Both teams here have such great classic uniforms. I'm disappointed with 2020 Rams design while the Chargers have found a balance with new and classic
The Rams new helmets SUCK
Rams went to Best Buy for their new unis.

I hated how the Rams wore their Away whites at home for most of '78 and '79. Bad move
It was always great to listen to the late great Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.😊

That play that Wilbur Young scored on was pretty badass. And Haden took that like he was in a car wreck.
Fred Dean gave Pat Haden a day to forget. Haden was punished all game long!

this game marked the beginning of a great, if one-sided romance between the aggressively-natured Pat Haden and the sweet, docile-natured Fred Dean.

I wanted SD vs. Dallas for the Super Bowl, that year. As good a Steelers-Rams was, San Diego-Dallas would have been one for the ages.
Both of these teams should have kept these uniforms….they were identical too
