I've enhanced the 1980 Wildcard game between the Rams and Cowboys. The original source recording for this project was in pretty nice shape. Probably an over-the-air recording, but picture was pretty stable without much noise at all. I upscaled it to 1080p, doubled the framerate to 59.94, reduced the compression, and sharpened the picture with Topaz. I then got some pretty nice contrast and color adjustment performed using Resolve. See before/after shots here -- imgbox.com/g/7fLAHFKoh2

I remember we had a school assignment to write a few pages about something, so I wrote it about this game, even made a cover sheet for it and used a blue pen to write “Cowboys 34, Rams 13.” It’s really great to see these old games, and you’ve done a great job with the restoration. Very interesting to see the different broadcasters and play callers and how their style contrasts with today’s. Jimmy the Greek looks half in the bag. Love hearing John Madden, grew up on him, even into adulthood with him calling games. I love the players’ jerseys and the bigger shoudler pads too.

I was 12 years old when this game played, born in Pacoima, CA. Mom was a big Cowboys fan, Dad was a Vikings fan, and i was a 49ers fan. Needless to say, there were numerous arguments when it came to football. I'm glad i lived in a time where Football was at its greatest. Today, i'm still a 49ers fan, but the games are not the same. There are too many players getting into some drama which doesn't help the game. Landry was a coach who came prepared for his opponent, never a mediocre game. Too bad Jerry Jones starts to destroy the Cowboys a few years later. Should have had a few more Super Bowls to their credit. R.I.P.

In Super Bowl 14 Vince Ferragamo had a wide open Billy Waddy streaking towards the end zone having beaten his coverage and literally did not see him and the six points. I remember the interviews where he just could not really explain it except just to say he did not see him. No one really thought anything of it at the time and we told ourselves it's a one time freak occurrence. But as some more time went by it was clear that Vince Ferragamo did not have the vision of the field that the top top shelf level quarterbacks have. After they tried to sort out their differences with Vince Ferragamo and his salary following the 1982 season the Rams in the offseason during the first half of 1983 had an unbelievable opportunity because in the April draft Dan Marino was still sitting there with just a few more picks remaining in the first round. Yes it would have been costly and they could probably write off having first and second picks for 1984 but some were not sold on Marino, there was a reason he was there ,so it would not be quite as costly as some think. There was nobody in the 1984 draft more important Dan Marino and the overall roster they already had screamed we need a top level quarterback. With their new pick for 1983 Eric Dickerson and with Dan Marino in the same backfield imagine the possibilities. Eric Dickerson 's numbers would not be as great but I'm pretty confident he would at least have one ring as would Marino. A few games into the 1983 season the Rams hosted the dolphins and Marino completely outclassed Vince Ferragamo on what was only his as I remember 4th or 5th start.

Ferragamo threw an interception on that play also. That was a wide open touchdown to Waddy & the Rams would've led that superbowl late in the game. Marino slipped in the draft bc of his "partying" in his last year with the Pitt Panthers. His hometown Steelers needed at qb & passed on him. The Dolphins didn't need Marino. They had David Woodley who was the youngest ever starting qb in the superbowl & Don Strock who was one of the best backups. The Rams bought the hype of Dieter Brock from the CFL whom they say had a 90 yard arm

@@mongoslade277 after the 1982 strike shortened season ended the Rams had to admit they made a terrible error with Bert Jones and who could have known that at age 31 he had already hit the wall. The hype the Rams truly bought preparing for the 1983 season was that Vince Ferragamo if he returned to the Rams was going to become the 1980 Vince Ferragamo and even better. The fans were all eager for his return and the organisation knew it. It was a popular move to appease the fans and the Rams absolutely ignored completely Vince ferragamo's absolutely mediocre play with the buffalo Bills for 1982. Following the 1984 season is when they bought into the Dieter Brock hype for one season. In a few short years with Dickerson gone they brought in charger assistant Ernie Zampezee to install the Don Coryell offence. Making this bold move for Marino does mean a conflict in which the organisation has to tell John Robinson his USC system is not even remotely coming over. That's what they eventually tell him anyway in a few years. They can pull the quarterback coach for Dan Marino and the offensive coordinator from either the Chargers or Redskins. Giving up draft capital for 1984 probably means no Olympic medallist Ron Brown. They can deal.

@@riggodrill Excuse me? He took the Cowboys to 3 straight NFC championship games. That means he won playoff games. He led comeback victories in two different playoff games, and only Joe Montana's heroics (the Catch) kept them out of the 1981 SB. One of the comebacks, in 1978, was when Staubach got hurt and knocked out of the game against Atlanta, and Danny played brilliantly in the 2nd half. The 2nd one was the week after this game, when he threw a game winning TD to Drew Pearson with less than 2 minutes to go. Staubach didn't win every playoff game, either, and got his hat handed to him a few times, as well. Danny White was a damn fine QB, a great punter, and a fine man. Ferragamo isn't in his class as far as their careers in the NFL. White - 62-30 as a starter, 155 TDs and 132 INTs, 59.7 comp %, and almost 22,000 yards Ferragamo - 27-26, 76 TDs 91 INTs, 55.9%, just over 11,000 yards... and he couldn't punt Peace

@@comfortat All valid points. And no doubt... Danny White was a superior NFL starting QB compared to Vince Ferragamo, over the long run. And I don't besmirch Danny White's character one bit. That was a tough task taking over for America's QB and being coached by Tom Landry (remember alternating Morton and Staubach?!?!?!) I do think Danny White underperformed in some key games (vs. Rams late season 80, Redskins late season 83, 84 - Rams 85 playoffs), though he didn't ALWAYS underperform. And that is why I was drawing a comparison to Ferragamo. He had all the tools. But didn't get to the SB whereas Ferragamo did. Perhaps I should have edited my comment to say "... especially in big games" rather than single out playoffs. He did get it done in the games you mentioned. The dividing line with QBs is certainly getting to the Super Bowl (NFL and AFL Championship games, pre-merger). Dallas still had overwhelming talent in the 1980 - 1984 time frame but failed to return to the SB. Was it because of Danny White? Not solely. But, his play in some games was a factor. Donovan McNabb went to 4 straight NFC Championship games and even managed to get to the SB. I'd still rate McNabb below top level of his contemporaries and I'd rate Danny White, though a great athlete, really solid NFL QB and fine man, too... I'd rate him below the top level of his contemporaries. As a Redskin fan (born in DC in 65), I was socialized to hate Dallas. While I did strongly dislike them, I had a lot of respect and admiration for them. Including Danny White.

Glad I found your channel I checked out your videos I was hoping you would have the 1980s playoff games- 1980-85 years I missed those games due to going to college and military any chance you could add them?

People are quick to point out the low competition percentages in the 1980’s. The defenses had it entirely their way in those days. You could bump, interfere, make contact after five yards, lead with the helmet..you name it. It’s a more entertaining game now due to rules changes.

20:18, CBS Sports needs to bring back the original NFL Today theme. It's GOLD! and a classic. The 1993 version of the theme would be perfect. That's the last time my favorite team, the Buffalo Bills were in the Super Bowl. Their 4th straight SB and they should have won too. Now win it, on CBS in 2023💯with the great Jim Nantz on the call. How about that? I like that💯

Thanks very much Lance. Actually I was mistaken. I DO actually have the 1980 game that I can work on at some point. It was the 1978 Falcon playoff I have which is incomplete, but I think I have a line on it now via another source.

Man this brings back memories. As a ten year old I cried when Staubach retired. Danny was right, he couldn’t get them to the Super Bowl. But unlike Romo or Dak, he got them to some NFC Championship games.

Pearson let loose with a powerful and gracious heave of the ball into seats upon his making a late touchdown reception. Such exhibitions of generous enthusiasm ought to be encouraged by the league. Do you have any idea of the cost of time, money, and logistics fans endure to get to these games?

Dallas went in there that guy thinking last year's playoff loss was a fluke and just crushed the Rams this game. The Rams were the underdogs in 1983 with their 9-7 record and stole a playoff win against the struggling 12-4 Cowboys who had been crushed in the last two games of the regular season.
