Rams played a game worth being proud of, effort-wise. Steelers were just a great team. Great teams like them, the Packers of the 60s, Cowboys in the 70s, and 1980s 49ers, had this quality of coming back and winning games like this.
McKay doubled as the Bucs GM. According to quarterback Doug Williams, McKay addressed the team for playing poorly: "Some of you guys are playing like you don't want to be here. If you don't want to be here, come see me. I'll trade your ass!" 😮😮😮🤣🤣🤣
That Steelers team was so good, they had 52 turnovers and won the Super Bowl. The team in general and Terry Bradshaw in particular, had trouble concentrating if they weren't up for a game. The ONLY game they had all year without a turnover was against Dallas. The one game all year they were totally up for.
"Waddy was wide open, Ray. Waddy was wide open on the post." The image at 38:00 We almost had an upset of Namath proportions with this one. Rams outplayed the Steelers for three quarters. Unfortunately, it takes four, especially against a super team like the Steelers. As good a Super Bowl as was ever played, even if it is largely forgotten. Also, Stallworth should have been MVP. He completely saved the Steelers bacon in this game.
Funny thing was, the Rams seemed to have the Steelers number in the '70s. They beat the Steelers at the Coliseum 10-3 in '75, and again 10-7 in '78. Needless to say, the Steelers certainly didn't take them lightly.
What could have been…if Vince never int that pass to lambert it’s would have been just like SB 3. Hell this team could have won more than more dare I say they could have more like 3 or 4. But the Steelers was the team of the 70s for a reason.
I liked how the game was in the 80s… not too skewed overall towards either pass or run… there were teams who excelled in one or the other or both. By the 90s the game definitely became pass first instead of balanced like it was in the 80s.
That Chargers team had Pittsburgh's number 78.thru 81, That loss to Houston was as big a playoff upset ad any and SD lost their best chance ever at a Championship
I remember those glory days of the Pittsburgh Steelers. who knows if Terry Bradshaw wouldnt have gotten hurt the one year and Franco Harris another they might have won 6 Super Bowls in a row.
They weren't capable of overcoming barriers in 77 to win 6 consecutive SB's. The monetary gripe by many players and lawsuits scenario in 1977 destroyed team continuity ,they weren't psychologically unified enough to capture anything other then barely winning the AFC Central division that season ,the first round defeat to the eventual conference champ Broncos was inevitable .
They cut a live performance of McFadden and Whitehead singing “Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now” so that some barely legible goomba could sing some tone def garbage for the Steelers?!? Lmao even NFL Films was in the bag for those roided out Steelers.
