The Steelers offense was awful that year. Bradshaw was gone the entire year except for 15 minutes of the 1st quarter against the jets at the end of the year, Stallworth was injured for the entire year, Lynn Swan retired, Jim Smith went to the USFL, Franco Harris started strong but was wore out by the end of the year and was never the same again. Stout was too inexperienced and got sacked a million times and the receiver corps was not very good either. Calvin Sweeney was probably the best one they had. The defense played well and kept the Steelers competitive but by the end of the year they were wore out too.
Dan Marino never won a Superbowl in Miami and Chuck Noll was playing players he favored and not the more talented players like Jim Smith vs Garrity Weggie Thompson Paul Skansi are you Crazy as Chuck Noll ?
@@antonioriversrivers7925 Garrity was a ST player who only played because every other player ahead of him left or got hurt. Smith was in the USFL. Swann retired. Stallworth got hurt. Bell refused to sign and got traded. Sweeney was a bust. What was Noll supposed to do? I'm guessing you just don't like white players. Obviously you are just ignorant.
Early on in this game they incorrectly counted rookie Tim Harris' kickoff return yards as a rush attempt and yards rushing for Franco Harris. They would correct it near the endzone on that drive.
What are you talking about ? Is that all you could see and not Chuck Noll bad decision to play Greg Garrity Paul Skansi and the Steelers letting Jim Smith and Theo Bell go and John Stallworth and Greg Hawthorne Dewayne Capers sitting on the bench. Bad coaching decisions by Chuck Noll.
@@antonioriversrivers7925 Huh? I was commenting about the Network's statistical errors... they were too much in a hurry to report every yard Franco earned on his way to attaining the #2 spot (passing OJ).
Every defense we ran in this game was soft. I’m glad they started running some stunts up front that gave their oline some problems in the 4th. Big win guys
Greg Garrity had no business starting Jim Smith should have been wearing that number #86 this is why Chuck Noll couldn't win another Superbowl playing players he favored over more talented players.
You are an ignoramus. Smith was chasing $$$$$$ in the USFL. Garrity only played because Swann retired prematurely, T Bell forced a trade, Stallworth got hurt and Smith left and Sweeney was a bust. Noll had no control over any of that.
Dick Enberg was such a great announcer. I loved the passion and excitement he brought to every game he called.
steelers still made the playoffs in 1983 and in 1984 they went to the afc championship....Noll was a GREAT coach
Rocky Blier was probably the greatest runner back in Steeler history
Good not the greatest
Hard to watch this game and seeing the promise of Gabe Rivera as he's splitting double teams from a very good and physical Patriots offensive line. 😢
Could have had dan marino
One thing about Grogan...stood very relaxed in the pocket. Quick release. Not a great arm but got the ball there
Kind of like Joe Ferguson a little.

Perfectly said
Franco had 103 yards on 26 carries against the Jets on 2nd to last game of the season.
@@jefflouis3113 That was Franco's last 100 yd game.
Steelers have not reissued #18, Cliff was that good!
Mike tomczak wore 18
Harry newsome 15:51
13:31 If the music going into commercial is “Every Breath You Take” by The Police, you know instantly that this is 1983 in the NFL…..
Stoudt was terrible for Pittsburgh!! It was painful being a Steeler fan in 1983
Franco passes OJ 21:44
Amazing to see John Hannah just pancaking people.
If only the Steelers drafted Marino

@@antonioriversrivers7925 You're nothing but a Chuck Noll hater
Chuck noll would never let Marino throw the ball ,the way Don Shula did plus Shula gave Marino.mark duper and Mark Clayton

1:10:54, 1:17:18 - John Hannah
Cliff Stoudt was a great QB in NFL and USFL. Probbly should be in hall of fame.
To be honest... Franco was better than OJ and had at least one less murder than the juice.
Harris started this game only a few yards and a murdered ex wife behind OJ.
Steelers had some awful QBs in the mid 80s. Stoudt, Woodley, Malone, Campbell. Ouch. Bubby Brister was actually decent by comparison.
Broadcast master?

Jim Smith went to the USFL as did many other players from the NFL.

@@TheTicktockman321 Noll won more games with crap players than anyone in the 80s
