Now I've been a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan first and foremost, but back when I was a kid growing up in the 70's I loved Fran Tarkenton. He started as a New York Giants QB and then went to the enemy....lol. The Minnesota Vikings. Now back then I was a kid but the Purple People Eaters were cool to a kid. Chuck Foreman was a beast running back and as Howard Cosell called him, "Sir Francis Tarkenton" he could not be caught easily. His scrambling was EPIC! His running around was amazing to watch, and back then, OMG the Packers were awful...lol. Back then is where I got my enthusiasm for ALL NFL 🏈 games and not just "my team". I learned to love watching football, no matter who was playing. To this day I enjoy the NCAA, CFL, and even the Arena League. In other words back then football was EPIC!
Note at 8:39, the Vikings are using a 5 man defensive line, with Lurtzema added, and Page moved over center. They would stunt quite a bit from this front. They would sometimes drop Eller into coverage while bringing safety Autrea Beamon on a blitz. They had to get creative as the guys were aging and slowing up front.
Larry Brown imo was one of the greatest Redskins and players in NFL history, I remember that '75 opener against New Orleans with the Skins winning 41-3 at old RFK which they just announced a couple of weeks ago that they're planning to tear it down in a couple of years, These great videos are all we have left of the NFL of yesteryear.
I used to watch, " This is the NFL " every week back in the 70's, 1973 -79, but I always wondered why they never had any Monday Night Football highlights, I was 7 when I started watching and I didn't know about broadcast rights, etc. The Raiders dominated the Dolphins 31-21 in the first MNF game of 1975, I was there.
I used to wonder the same thing. Maybe they were not given permission from ABC/the NFL to use the MNF highlights at the time of taping This Is the NFL. It's anybody's guess
Thank you GREAT video. Any dislikes, dislike NFL football. This is absolutely outstanding. What a great time for the NFL. I grew up with these 2 legends & their voice screams 🏈🏈🏈🏈
They were so awesome quoting literary greats , the NFL orchestra-like music, and today they talk about whos wearing dolce gabana and not letting them hit a defenseless receiver isn't that the idea, lol, high strangeness abounds
Speaking of the music, you'll notice that the NFL music is heavily influenced by the World War I era composer Gustav Holst. The piece that closes the show, is basically a twist on Holst's _Second Suite for Military in F_ .
That Steelers chargers game. My dad took me and my two brothers to his brothers house to watch it. San Diego looked like a high school team that day. One of the Steelers more dominant victories of that decade.
11:39 is probably the scariest looking hit I’ve ever seen on NFL Films. How did that dude’s neck and spine not snap??? It must have been scarier at real speed
It's because his real one cracked during the game. You can see he has his real one on when Charley Johnson throws that pick early in the highlights around 17:58. But then he had a "real" one on again at 20:36 in the second half!
I love em all of the 20Century Logos of Helmets. They have this awe inspiring vibe that takes you back of that time. The Oilers, Buccaneers, Patriots, Any time I get that chance to be able to collect them logos.. Even them 25cents mini helmet machines...
@@user619tlsdca5 I collected them as a kid late 60's through mid 70s for a nickel. Then again with my son years later $0.75 to a dollar when lucky enough to find the machines. Naturally you can buy complete sets online but it's not the same. I wish I knew what happened to my original ones
The show changed titles for the second straight year. In 1974 they changed it to “This Week in the NFL” because of the WFL...they changed it again, this time to “This IS the NFL”...
Actually they were orange. They look red due to the 1970's era film stock, and probably some poor color balancing at the lab because of KC's red pants.
@Dog Breath That's Norm Snead. Plunkett was still with the Patriots, in fact, there is a video clip of him in a Patriots' uniform at the very beginning of this program. Even though Wake Forest wasn't exactly known for its football program in the 60s and 70s, both Snead and the late Jack Dolbin of the Denver Broncos (who caught a TD vs. the Chiefs this particular week in '75) were former Demon Deacons who enjoyed respectable NFL careers. Plunkett would join the Niners for the 1976 & 1977 seasons before moving across the bay to Oakland, where he would lead the Raiders to a pair of Super Bowl wins in essentially the twilight of his career.
In the Bears Colts game there is no mention (and rightfully so) of the first game of some kid named Walter Payton who if I remember right carried the ball like 5 or 7 times for 0 yards he would get better I think as time went by
@@jstube36 Practically they did: 1973 - Dallas 27, Los Angeles 16 1974 - Minnesota 14, Los Angeles 10 1975 - Dallas 37, Los Angeles 7 1976 - Minnesota 23, Los Angeles 14 1977 - Minnesota 14, Los Angeles 0 1978 - Dallas 28, Los Angeles 0 But in 1976, the Rams did beat the Cowboys at Dallas, 14-12 one week before the Vikings beat them at Minnesota in the NFC Championship. In 1978, the Rams finally crushed the Minnesota Vikings at Home in the Los Angeles Coliseum, 34-10, one week before the Dallas Cowboys literally embarrassed the Rams for the NFC Championship, also at the Los Angeles Coliseum. In 1979, the Rams defeated the Cowboys at Dallas, 21-19, in the Divisional Playoffs before defeating the Buccaneers at Tampa Bay, 9-0, for their first ever NFC Championship. It was a long time coming for the Los Angeles Rams!
That was Walter Payton's very first game as a pro his debut wasn't what you consider an overnight sensation 8 Rushing Attempts for 0 Yards little did anyone know of what was to come
I was very surprised that the Packers opened the '75 regular season in Milwaukee. They did play almost half of their home games at County Stadium for many years, but to open the season outside of Lambeau was extremely rare.....
No hype? No selfish players? Thomas Hollywood Henderson? Billy White Shoes Johnson? Duane Thomas? Conrad Dobler? Joe Namath? Mercury Morris? Jack Tatum? Lyle Alzado? Fred the Hammer Williamson? Randy White? Mel Blount?
People like to pretend that the "good ol' days" were better than today. The "good ol' days" are just slightly different than today and in many cases the "good ol' days" were actually worse. People are people. Prima donnas and the like didn't start in the 1980s or 1990s. They have been around all along. Every era has its share of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco Johnsons. They may not be as blatant as TO or Ocho. But they were stark contrasts in their own times.
@@MGAF688 of course each era has it's darkness, but I think it's well to see positives also. The 40's brought horror and hate the world over. But there was those with the courage to stand up to that menace. It brought the courage of Jackie Robinson and Woody Strode who opened doors that were long closed. The 50's went nuclear. But it also brought the emergence of modern pro football. The 60's had it's insanity. Yet it gave us Muhammed Ali, the AFL, Led Zeppelin, and the Moon. Prima donnas? They bring excitement to the game and make it fun. In the game of Football players with an "edge" are more preferred. It's that type of player and coach that gave America's Team 3 Super Bowls in 4 years. How Bout Them Cowboys.
To give truth to what you said, @12:27 we see eventual Hall-of-Fame WR Charlie Joiner making a great block on a punt return (of all things), just like Cardinals WR Mel Gray did on a punt return by Eric Metcalf in a St.Louis-New England game highlighted on "NFL 1975", an approximate 20-minute version of it, or so, narrated by Harry Kallas.
@@desertdogg9773 I kid you not, @19:40 is the great Otis Taylor throwing a great block right along the sideline, meaning he went out of his way to throw that great block. It was his last ever NFL game, and that is in reality, going out in style.
Mike Curtis #32 Baltimore Colts. I guess that time he clobbered a ball stealing fan during a game still does not sit well with the HOF. Bunch of screwballs!
@@plntntvzn The late Jim Braxton was responsible for more OJ yards than ANY OTHER Bills player, Reggie McKENZIE only had one All-Pro season, 1973, OJ's 2000 yard season, Joe DeLamielleure was a Hall Of Fame Right Guard.

The saints were a hapless bunch in the 70,s. Rebuilt numerous times and accomplished nothing, the coaches were incompetent the drafting was inept . I am a fan I went through the whole dismal decade
The NFL wanted to regain control of what signs people brought into stadiums. For better or worse, the NFL needed to control the messaging. Not all of the messages were football-related. Many of them had nothing to do with the game. To avoid advertising for religions, commercial products/services and offensive slogans/statements, the NFL had to reel it all in and regain control. I don't fault the NFL for taking such measures.
They did some ICONIC WORK back in the 70's and 80's. This week in football, like TWIB, was pure entertainment! When it came on you were GLUED TO YOUR SEAT!
I was at the Patriots Oilers game and remember Willie Germany taking the Mack Herron fumble to the house. Herron always had butterfingers. That return is burned into my brain. I see it in my mind's eye nearly 50 years later.
@Nicky Depaola I turned 12 a few weeks before. This IS awesome !! Reminds me of why I fell in love with the game. All these wonderful names. The guys we were emulating playing football on my front lawn
@@AlmostReady504 I was 11 starting the 6th grade. TWIPF came on in my market (Cols, Ohio) on a late Sat night/Sun morning at 1:30 am. I would set my alarm, roll outta my bed in a dark dingy basement, and watch this in the living room, sitting a foot away from the tv so I could hear it at its lowest volume setting. A mom and 3 sisters never understood my love for football. I concur, I love RUclips and everybody who posts all these great memories!!! THX!!!!!
Nicky Depaola HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉.. I was I was 7 years old.. I recall watching the Cowboys as early as ‘73 when I was 5.. I remember when we lost the SB to the Steelers.. Mark Washington did not pass interfere with Swann/Stallworth.. bad call 😊
@@ramiroperez7180 Awesome story!! I remember watching SB X at my grandmas, we were driving home, I was sitting in the back seat trying to hide the fact that I was crying cuz my favo team lost. My mom turns around "Are you crying over a lost football game"? Me ~ a lost football game? That was the Cowboys and they just lost the biggest game of the season to the team I hate the most (I live in Cols, Ohio) So just let me have my minute" 3 sisters and my mom laughed at me then left me alone. Back to the here and now.... I now have a mother and 3 sisters that are die hard Cowboy fans, I rubbed off on them!
Austin Powers amen I wonder if any of those are still around and what price they would fetch today.. trot it out at the tailgate parties for today’s fans to catch a glimpse of the 70’s
It’s amazing that for 3 straight seasons from 1975-77 no defense ever figured out that slant pass from Bert Jones to Glen Doughty near the goal line. The Colts ran that play like clockwork inside the opponent’s 15 yard line and yet it was always open.
Loved Bert Jones. As a Bear fan, I recall this game as an inauspicious start to the Hall Of Fame career of the greatest football player in NFL history, rookie Walter Payton. 8 carries, ZERO yards, 1 reception, -4 yards.
Now that NFL season is over this is by far the best thing to watch. THANK YOU. This is taking me back to the days of playing football on my lawn with my friends
Glad this brings back those memories. Many including myself have similar stories. 1975 is when I started watching NFL Football. Love at first sight. And that love grows with every season. The best is yet to come
Was having a conversation with my Millennial colleagues today and mentioned how tough guys in the NFL were in the 70's when I was growing up. The hit by Jim Kearney is a classic example. Moses makes the catch and all the ref does is make sure the clock is winding. No taunting, no retaliation, just the price of making the catch.
Week 1 was a harbinger of things to come. The Cowboys defeated the Rams 18-7 in Dallas. The Cowboys would go on to claim the NFC wild card and upset the Vikings ( who started the season 11-0). The Rams would go 12-2 and face the Cowboys in the NFC title game where Dallas would prevail once again 37-7. The Cowboys, Rams and Vikings took turns getting in each others way during the 1970's. Usually it was the underdog who came out on top. The Rams were notorious for losing to Minnesota in the playoffs, losing to them 4 times before finally defeating them in their final try in 1978.
The Rams were the hard luck team. They beat the Cowboys in 1979 Playoffs. Then, since the Vikings were not in it, won the NFC championship. But ran right into Steelers.
Between 1970 and 1980 the rams went 3-8 against the Cowboys and Vikings in the playoffs. They beat the Cowboys in Dallas in 1976, 14-12 and 1979, 21-19. They finally beat Minnesota at home in 1978. They lost the conference championship game twice to both teams, 1974 and 1976 against the Vikings and 1975 and 1978 to the Cowboys. Dallas went 3-1 against Minnesota.
I once loved Fran Tarkenton, and also felt bad he never got paid his proper retirement money and was probably forced to do a few infomercials in retirement.
Broadway Joe had the fastest 7 yard retreat, fastest set-up motion and best classic quick-release of all time (similar to Dan Marino, who said he had idolized Joe (both from eastern PA)...considering the unbelievable hits he took - and 15 knee surgeries! - he's #1 in my book (oh yeah he won the most IMPORTANT Super Bowl of all time)....met him once; most humble guy in the world...love ya BJ!!
Both Joe Namath and Dan Marino were from Western PA. Dan Marino grew up in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, near the campus of the University of Pittsburgh where he of course played in college and Joe Namath was from Beaver Falls which is approximately 30 miles north and west of Pittsburgh.
He is a true gentleman. I was lucky enough to meet him at training camp when I was a kid. I waited until after practice, then had the nerve to ask him to throw me a pass. He probably threw 100+ passes during practice, and here I am asking him to throw me a pass. I said to him, “You think you can throw me a pass ?”, and he answered, in typical Namath fashion, “you think you can catch it ?”, he had that great smile and that twinkle in his eye. He told me to do a down and out, I did, he threw it way over my head. My late Mom, who LOVED Joe Namath always told the story that I dropped it. I always joked Kareem couldn’t have caught it. Thing was, my football was a kid’s ball, he needed to adjust to it. He told me to do it again. IF I had an #88 jersey, that pass would’ve hit between that 8’s, PERFECT pass. What a great guy, so kind and genuine. It’ll always be one of my lifelong memories that I’ll never forget.

Bert Jones could have been an all time great.
He had all of the markings. Injuries. A weakened roster. Coaching changes. It all worked against him in the end.
Robert Saul I think he was the best pure passer I ever seen. His spirals were tight and he had a great arm even better than Elway I think
@@Agent-xn1hr You're exactly right, Bert Jones threw a nice ball, He had a great arm.

How appropriate that the Dallas Cowboys would both begin and end The 1975 Los Angeles Rams Season with losses.
From 1973-1978, the Cowboys and Vikings took turns knocking the Rams from the playoffs.

Yep. I remember thinking oh my God we're converting to THIS nonsense.
Then... Gone , thankfully
It was the center field area in the strangely configured Met. 131 meters is close to 430ft
Cowboys @ 30:36
Another SF QB wearing #16
God, the Sabols were geniuses! Vintage NFL Films were pure gold!
They truly were!
Wish they would have tried some rock music of the day.
I think it helped having good football in those days too.
They did some ICONIC WORK back in the 70's and 80's. This week in football, like TWIB, was pure entertainment! When it came on you were GLUED TO YOUR SEAT!
This was way before cable TV. I use to watch this program every Saturday at 2oclock.
I was at the Patriots Oilers game and remember Willie Germany taking the Mack Herron fumble to the house. Herron always had butterfingers. That return is burned into my brain. I see it in my mind's eye nearly 50 years later.
The intro is COLD
I was 12 on this day !! I LOVE RUclips for this EXACTLY !!!! Memories of these days are WONDERFUL !!!
@Nicky Depaola
I turned 12 a few weeks before.
This IS awesome !!
Reminds me of why I fell in love with the game. All these wonderful names.
The guys we were emulating playing football on my front lawn
@@AlmostReady504 I was 11 starting the 6th grade. TWIPF came on in my market (Cols, Ohio) on a late Sat night/Sun morning at 1:30 am. I would set my alarm, roll outta my bed in a dark dingy basement, and watch this in the living room, sitting a foot away from the tv so I could hear it at its lowest volume setting. A mom and 3 sisters never understood my love for football. I concur, I love RUclips and everybody who posts all these great memories!!! THX!!!!!
Nicky Depaola HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉.. I was I was 7 years old.. I recall watching the Cowboys as early as ‘73 when I was 5.. I remember when we lost the SB to the Steelers.. Mark Washington did not pass interfere with Swann/Stallworth.. bad call 😊
@@ramiroperez7180 Awesome story!! I remember watching SB X at my grandmas, we were driving home, I was sitting in the back seat trying to hide the fact that I was crying cuz my favo team lost. My mom turns around "Are you crying over a lost football game"? Me ~ a lost football game? That was the Cowboys and they just lost the biggest game of the season to the team I hate the most (I live in Cols, Ohio) So just let me have my minute" 3 sisters and my mom laughed at me then left me alone. Back to the here and now.... I now have a mother and 3 sisters that are die hard Cowboy fans, I rubbed off on them!
Dam them cheifs broke my heart that day I was 14
I wish teams would bring back those large football helmet golf karts. I miss those things. They were so cool in their day.
How about a return of the white football used in the 50's. And maybe bring back some of the crazy formations used in the 30's and 40's.
Austin Powers amen I wonder if any of those are still around and what price they would fetch today.. trot it out at the tailgate parties for today’s fans to catch a glimpse of the 70’s
Cowboys' "Dirty Dozen"; O.J. had the world at his feet (most exciting RB in the NFL at the time)...then, over the years, threw it all away.
O.j Simpson was a great looking black athlete: celebrity: he can still makes 💰 selling his autographs
It’s amazing that for 3 straight seasons from 1975-77 no defense ever figured out that slant pass from Bert Jones to Glen Doughty near the goal line. The Colts ran that play like clockwork inside the opponent’s 15 yard line and yet it was always open.
Loved Bert Jones. As a Bear fan, I recall this game as an inauspicious start to the Hall Of Fame career of the greatest football player in NFL history, rookie Walter Payton. 8 carries, ZERO yards, 1 reception, -4 yards.
Quick Look In
6:00 O it is the redbirds (Cardinals) vs a birdy team with red helmets (Falcons). I still miss those red helmets.
28:10 coach smoking on the sidelines.
Now that NFL season is over this is by far the best thing to watch.
THANK YOU.
This is taking me back to the days of playing football on my lawn with my friends
Glad this brings back those memories. Many including myself have similar stories. 1975 is when I started watching NFL Football. Love at first sight. And that love grows with every season. The best is yet to come
@@jstube36
Awesome you're doing this.
Reminds me why I fell in love with the game that has changed so much.
We all need that reminder
Preach!!
20:19 His face mask explodes
Must have been made out of some type of plastic. If it were metal, that never would have happened.
Yep. All he had was a swollen lip
Never saw that before of since. I had to rewind it to make sure of what I was seeing.
Was having a conversation with my Millennial colleagues today and mentioned how tough guys in the NFL were in the 70's when I was growing up. The hit by Jim Kearney is a classic example. Moses makes the catch and all the ref does is make sure the clock is winding. No taunting, no retaliation, just the price of making the catch.
If a wide receiver got hit like that today the defensive back would be ejected, suspended, fined and vilianized!
Week 1 was a harbinger of things to come. The Cowboys defeated the Rams 18-7 in Dallas. The Cowboys would go on to claim the NFC wild card and upset the Vikings ( who started the season 11-0). The Rams would go 12-2 and face the Cowboys in the NFC title game where Dallas would prevail once again 37-7. The Cowboys, Rams and Vikings took turns getting in each others way during the 1970's. Usually it was the underdog who came out on top. The Rams were notorious for losing to Minnesota in the playoffs, losing to them 4 times before finally defeating them in their final try in 1978.
The Rams were the hard luck team. They beat the Cowboys in 1979 Playoffs. Then, since the Vikings were not in it, won the NFC championship. But ran right into Steelers.
Between 1970 and 1980 the rams went 3-8 against the Cowboys and Vikings in the playoffs. They beat the Cowboys in Dallas in 1976, 14-12 and 1979, 21-19. They finally beat Minnesota at home in 1978. They lost the conference championship game twice to both teams, 1974 and 1976 against the Vikings and 1975 and 1978 to the Cowboys. Dallas went 3-1 against Minnesota.
I normally don't comment on videos on this but the NY Giants Helmets back in '75 were blech!
That's why the outlined "NY" lasted for only the '75 season. "GIANTS" came in the following year.
the football music sure stinks compared to late 60's early 70's
Gotta dig Lamar Parrish's running style.
Bartkowski turned out to be a good QB
Good quarterback on some brutally bad Atlanta teams. He's gone down in history as the guy picked first before Randy White and Walter Payton.
@@pbcoop62 well, at least Bartkowski won a division title ('80) while in ATL.
Remember 'Big Ben Right' ???
Bartkowski would 8)
Colts wiped their ass with the bears
I once loved Fran Tarkenton, and also felt bad he never got paid his proper retirement money and was probably forced to do a few infomercials in retirement.
He supposedly only made 1.25M over his entire 18 year career. Even expanded (1970 to today) that's still less than $9M for 18 years.
Poor Brousard😂
poor don hardaman- he has no idea his days in houston are numbered....
Broadway Joe had the fastest 7 yard retreat, fastest set-up motion and best classic quick-release of all time (similar to Dan Marino, who said he had idolized Joe (both from eastern PA)...considering the unbelievable hits he took - and 15 knee surgeries! - he's #1 in my book (oh yeah he won the most IMPORTANT Super Bowl of all time)....met him once; most humble guy in the world...love ya BJ!!
Most overrated QB..... ever!
Both Joe Namath and Dan Marino were from Western PA. Dan Marino grew up in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, near the campus of the University of Pittsburgh where he of course played in college and Joe Namath was from Beaver Falls which is approximately 30 miles north and west of Pittsburgh.
He is a true gentleman. I was lucky enough to meet him at training camp when I was a kid. I waited until after practice, then had the nerve to ask him to throw me a pass. He probably threw 100+ passes during practice, and here I am asking him to throw me a pass.
I said to him, “You think you can throw me a pass ?”, and he answered, in typical Namath fashion, “you think you can catch it ?”, he had that great smile and that twinkle in his eye.
He told me to do a down and out, I did, he threw it way over my head. My late Mom, who LOVED Joe Namath always told the story that I dropped it. I always joked Kareem couldn’t have caught it. Thing was, my football was a kid’s ball, he needed to adjust to it. He told me to do it again. IF I had an #88 jersey, that pass would’ve hit between that 8’s, PERFECT pass. What a great guy, so kind and genuine. It’ll always be one of my lifelong memories that I’ll never forget.
Did Willie Germany ever hang out with Doug France??
Lol
Purple Sword 5 There was a bit of resistance from France towards Germany I think 😋
My Vikes in 75 may have had their best team of that 68 to 77 10 year run. Until the HAIL PUSHOFF PLAY BY THE COWGIRLS.
