Las Vegas raiders can't find quarterback like Jim Plunkett raiders though they could win a quarterback from Fresno st. now they got nothing can't find a clutch player committed to excellence
Exceptionally accurate? The guy had a 51% completion percentage in 1980. He was far from accurate. Even Kenny Stabler, known as a great QB in his day, had 13 TDs and an astounding 28 INTS in 1980! Horrendous numbers for both QBs.
Rules for football were different at this time. Defensive backs had a huge advantage over receivers. Head slaps, holding down the field, bump and run, stickum, etc. were all legal Completing passes were much more challenging at that time. QBs going 40 att/22comp for 230 yards and one TD pass was a pretty productive game.
I remember this game I was working at KFC in Fremont CA a senior in high school and a lifelong Raider fan. It was weird to see Stabler, Casper and Tatum playing for the other side (my Daughter is named Tatum) I got off work at 2 pm and was in an insane hurry to get home before the second half started
yeah that was bizarre to see three of the Raiders best players on the previous Super Bowl team get traded and then happen to play their first game as opponents vs. their old team in Oakland during a crucial playoff game. And all three were no factor at all except for Stabler who had a horrible game getting sacked 6 times and throwing a pick 6 to Lester Hayes.
yeah it was sad to see those Raider greats get beat so bad by their former team. But they were all near the end of their careers, so AL Davis knew what he was doing by trading them at the right time.
Wow! I watched this game. The Snake Stabler, Assassin Jack Tatum and Ghost Casper on Oilers did not sit well with me. Legends. I did respect the Bum as Coach though so I understood why these 3 played for him.
So ended the Oilers' mini-dynasty (1978-1980) prematurely. In 1978 and 1979 it looked like the Raider dynasty was over and the Oilers were beginning one. But convention brought the Old Guard back and the latter stubbed its toe here. Houston faded as Earl Campbell's body broke down, only reloading by 1987, the beginning of seven straight one and done playoff exits for the Oilers. The Chargers also had a dynasty that barely happened, 1979-1982 although two visits to the AFC Title Game were better than many franchises could dream of. Finally the Eagles would-be dynasty was short-circuited by Dick Vermeil's burnout, 1978-1981. Not good to be sleeping in your office as an NFL coach.
Stabler's problem was, the Raiders knew him too well. They knew he couldn't run and in a passing situation he held the ball a long time, giving the defenders time to get to him. Campbell and Carpenter couldn't pick up a blitz to save their lives. Raiders' defense owned Stabler in the 2nd half. Poor Bum's offense was too predictable. It was Earl or nothing...even though he had speed in White Shoes Johnson and Kenny Bourough.
I was always a fan of “the snake” and was so excited when he came to the oilers but never was able to lead Houston to a Super Bowl, Meanwhile Plunkett who replaced Pastorini was able to lead the raiders to two super bowls and didn’t just get there won them both, who would of thought that going into that trade, between the oilers and raiders, I was a die hard oilers fan and was very disappointed
@@MatthewBaumgarten Stabler was way past his prime when he got to Houston. And as he said, not on a team that was as good as the Raider teams he played for.
Houston had Dan pasterini and he went to the RAIDERS and he lost his job to Jim Plunkett and won the NFL super bowl 🏈 it really was LOS ANGELES not oakland.

Charlie Jones, Snake, Earl Campbell, Dave Casper, Van Eeghen. Dont get any better than this.
Jim Plunkett bombs away, two time Super Bowl winner, should be in the Hall of Fame-

Absolutely
Lester hayes was phenomenal that year.
Dam I'm a Raiders fan but it was hard to watch the snake get hammered like that and he sure look out of place with out the black and silver.
He got sacked seven times in that game and threw two picks 😔 including a pick six to Lester Hayes.
Ray Guy's greatest game as a punter. He was the MVP of this game.
How many ex-Raiders were on that Houston team? Stabler, Tatum, Casper...
That blew my mind I was kid then wow what a flash back of thoughts😊
I'm a raiders fan seeing ex raiders playing for the oilers blew my mind😮 I was a kid then 😊
Those 3 playing for the Outlaw, Bum Phillips was a good match. Looking back in time.

Wow this is a beautiful recording
Jim Plunkett was an exceptionally accurate passer. He and Cliff Branch were fun to watch.

Great example of Plunket's ability to throw against the grain.
Looked like A Raider intra squad game . What a difference in O lines . ! Sure Casper , Tatum and the Snake wished they were on the other side

I was at that game.

Jim Plunkett vs Kenny Stabler
I love the Oakland raiders best player to me was Lester Hayes a great cornerback he is in my top 10

how weird is this, two Hall of Fame Raiders in the wrong uniforms at 7:50
25:45
Angelo Fields -- He is a regular sized O-line in 2023 -- I forgot about him -- He was not that fat either.
in 2023 he would be a WR

Huh? Cliff Branch 6'2"? NBC f'd up!
5’10” at best
😢bum. Phillip's. Shouldnt. Have. Been. Fired. The. Next. Day
Stabler was horrible that year. 13 TD 28 int. Yikes
true but judging from what happened in this game, looks like the offensive line was really bad, sacked 7 times and rushing his throws all day.
Yeah but he Won. Just Win Baby!

@@MatthewBaumgarten How Was You Excited When They Got The Snake??? You Didn't Know He Was WEAK And Sorry As HELL!!!! REAL TALK!!!!
The last game the Oilers used gray facemasks
The Oilers lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champions 3 years in a row
Bum Phillips would be fired 3 days later
If only houston had a qb in 1980. Maybe they'd win the Super Bowl
REAL TALK!!!!
Houston had Dan pasterini and he went to the RAIDERS and he lost his job to Jim Plunkett and won the NFL super bowl 🏈 it really was LOS ANGELES not oakland.
Glory!!!!!!
