Did we win again?

 

I feel like I'm watching the first football game ever played ,its amazing how long ago this was.This game was played 17 years before I was born I hope I get to see one sometime this decade

 

It can't be normal that I still get nervous they'll lose this thing?

 

So cool to see. I had it on VHS years ago, but lost it.

 

I watched a little, I DVR'd it even though I have a copy on DVD somewhere. Just watching a game from that era is so interesting, seeing how different the game was and the coverage was.

 

Watch the third quarter carefully. The first half was sloppy and the Jets caught a couple of breaks. But the 3rd quarter is a thing of beauty. They completely dominate the Colts on both sides of the ball. Namath's play calling was spot on and the defense had the Colts number. The only negative was the Jets had to settle for field goals. Had they converted another TD the game would have been a blow out.

 

The Jets did in that game what the AFL had to do to beat the NFL, they switched from the wide open offense that the AFL espoused and went to a more NFL oriented short pass and run game (but they did keep a couple of deep passes). It was a thing of beauty.

 

Is it the actual game broadcast or the highlight show that tracks most of the possessions that we've seen before?

 

It was the actual game broadcast. The quality was pretty good too.
