1983 AFC Playoff - Seahawks at Dolphins - Enhanced NBC Broadcast - 1080p/60fps 

Now, we get to see a glimpse of what they looked like when they first aired.

Hell yeah

Remarkable restoration. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Another great video sir! Thank you again! I've mentioned before that I'm a lifetime Packers fan, but also a total NFL FAN AS WELL! The Chargers, Seahawks, Chiefs, Broncos, and Raiders, back when they were all part of the AFC West. I also liked the🐬🐬Miami🐬Dolphins🐬🐬 in the AFC as well. Back in 70's the Seahawks had some really great players. Jim Zorn was the QB and a damn good one. Sherman Smith, a decent RB, and the Legendary Steve Largent, one of the BEST all-time WR's in the 🏈🏉NFL🏉🏈! The early 70's 🐬Dolphins🐬 were also epic! Larry Czonka, Bob Griese, Mercury Morris. This will be a great game to watch!

Very Fast! I know 🤔

Now football is a joke

@@davemartino5997It’s a scripted business now. They’ll get Patrick Mahomes to ten Super Bowl wins before it’s all said and done.

This game was played on NYE. I attended the Broncos vs. Seahawks Wild Card playoff game (Seattle's first ever) at the Kingdome on Christmas Eve. A night I'll never forget.

Morton was an underappreciated QB. His stats were better than Namath's, and as good as Stabler's, but they each WON the Super Bowl, so they made the HOF. Morton led two different franchises to their first ever SBs, but was a turnover machine in both games. Career stats: Morton 183 TD, 187 INT, 81-62-1 as a starter, only threw 20 INTs twice his entire career, 73.5 career QBR Stabler 194 TD, 222 INT, 96-49-1 as starter, threw 20, 30, 22 and 28 INTs in consecutive seasons, 75.3 QBR Namath 173 TD, 220 INT. 62-63-4, led the AFL in INTs four times, 65.5 QBR Namath was finished by age 34, Stabler was a terrible QB after he left Oakland, with a 66.1 QBR in Houston and N.O., while Morton had a resurgence in Denver, having 5 good seasons, throwing 74 TD and only 62 INT and a QBR of 79.7 - including a 90.5 at age 38, leading Denver to a 10-5 record. Craig suffered 3 bad years with the Giants, which was just a dreadful team while he was there. If you exclude those seasons, he threw 154 TD and 138 INT for his career, with a QBR over 78. I've always wondered if Craig had won the Big Game, would he be in enshrined in Canton? He was succeeded by arguably the two greatest QBs of all-time, Staubach and Elway, so many people forget that he was the QB who took both of those franchises to their first Super Bowls (and Denver to their first ever playoff run). Take out his NYG seasons, and his record as a starting QB was 73-37-1, a winning pct of 66.4. Stabler never played on a bad team, and his career winning pct was 66.2. Morton was 7-6 in playoff games, 0-2 in the SB Stabler was 6-6 in playoff games and 1-0 in SB (one of his losses was to Morton in 1977) Namath? Made the playoffs only twice, going 1-1 and winning the most famous SB ever. If those two guys are in the Hall of Fame, Morton should be, too. Peace

I couldn't agree more with you and I'm born and raised in Boston and I miss the old stadium and the old teams before Brady

I didn't become a Bronco fan until 86.. so I really never knew any QB other than Elway. That spoiled me. Since then it's been other teams retreads.

That's sad, and surprising, for a playoff game to be blacked out

Yeah typical South Florida at that time, the local news stations usually buys the rest of the tickets so the games could be shown on tv.

I as well

Hi there R. I hope all is well with you-

Thank you, you're right :) Correction made.

As do I! Outstanding!

I’m with you Doc. AFC West rivalry with the Raiders was epic! Those MNF games were awesome. I’d say it was a 50/50 battle, sometime my Hawks won, but Plunkett had our number too.

@@NO_OPEC_NO_PROBLEM yall were the ONLY team that gave me pause back then. I was petrified before this game. Hahahaha

Marino, Brady, Montana…The All-time GOAT starting line-up…

Yeah in my opinion he definitely was one of the greatest to play the game, I really wish he would have won at least one Superbowl. Miss watching him on Sundays.

Thank you :) Unfortunately I've done test uploads of Super Bowl XVI and it gets blocked for viewing worldwide because of copyright

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Ahhhh damnit. Well, thanks for trying.

Yeah I was living in South Florida at that time as well. I remember this game what a tough loss for the Dolphins and they were the favorite to win. But they got even with them eventually.

New Year's 1984 reminds me of Mike Rozier (Nebraska's Heisman winner) complaining about the weather in Miami where it was -50° or worse wind chills in Nebraska. Then they proceeded to get upset by the irritating ass Canes 31-30. We went on vacation from Alabama to Florida and we escaped an ice/snow storm but chilly weather in the Tampa area. Seems like yesterday.

Yeah. Really felt that like was going to flourish into a cool cross-country rivalry, but Curt Warner's knee injury and then a series of less-than-stellar drafts sent the Hawks in the wrong direction.

It's really eerie seeing him with a number on his helmet. Of course, next year the Dolphins would honor him.

@@MaestroDawg65 sad stuff for a dude ao young. 😢

Don Criqui

After the enhancement it is :)

After Warner ripped up his ACL in 84 "ground chuck" turned into "air knox" the goog old days at the dome.

Turnovers in key games was a mainstay during the Marino and Shula era.

Not at this time I don't.

Ha, I just made a similar comment. Imagine if he'd done that today?

@steves9964 I think he would have been driven out from relentless fan and media assault. It's unbelievable to fumble back to back touches but to do it in THAT situation? Today he would be gone unless he was a hall of famer.

@@jmbuff1 No doubt. The question you originally posed on whether a player has lost multiple fumbles in the playoffs got me thinking. Kyle Williams had two key fumbles on punt returns for San Francisco in the 2011 NFC Championship game against the Giants. You hate to see it but he was a young kid thrown into the fire because Ted Ginn was out in that game, and Ginn was of course a solid, reliable if not spectacular punt returner. It really turned the game as one set up the Giants' go ahead score midway thru the 4th quarter while the second set up the winning field goal in overtime. An indelible image of that game was San Francisco brutalizing Eli Manning so much so that at one point he called a timeout late with his helmet pulled halfway off of his head with pieces of sod hanging from it. Anyway, not exactly the same thing as Walker because they occurred on punt returns and he did handle a couple of punts in between fumbles, but all the more devastating given it happened in a conference championship game and San Francisco seemed to be in control at that point.

I do have that one to possibly work on at some point.

Was that the official line? 20? I remember it was a HUGE upset but couldn't find info on the line.

@@satorified16128.

Thanks Blazer. Unfortunately that 82 Championship game gets blocked for viewing because of copyright if one attempts to upload it to RU-vid.

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Booooo haha that sucks. I guess that’s why I can never find that game. Oh well. Great games on here tho 👏🏽

Yep, that would be why :) Thanks again.

I was all prepared to work on that actual game the other day, but I did a test upload of it to RU-vid and it gets blocked for viewing because of copyright, which is why no copy is currently posted by anyone.

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 A shame...

If I had it to post I already would have.

We all WISH! At the top of many fan's lists of game we would like to be able to see again..

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 : I noticed on there was a TD by Cliff Branch from that game on your 50 great moments: where did that come from. ??

Wish they kept the old ones.

No, the next year

I don't have a copy, but even if I did I think it would be blocked for viewing by the NFL if I uploaded it, which is why no one on RU-vid has posted it. I tested the two 1982 Jet playoff victories yesterday and they both get blocked as well.

It may have been the first real playoff upset in NFL history. I know we had Houston in '78 & '79 and the '79 Rams over Dallas but a 9-7 WC team beating a 12-4 division champ? It was hard to believe Miami was out.

John Brodie worked the Orange Bowl 2 days later with Don Criqui. Interesting he didn’t work the playoff game given he was in Miami.

I smoke 'em if I got 'em :)

Several months back I got all available Seahawk broadcasts from 78-84 in a trade and I've been working on them here and there amongst all the other games I have. I have another trade in the works to acquire the Seattle games from 85-88 as well. I have over 500 games total to possibly enhance at some point. I try to alternate between Seahawks, 49ers (of which I just got most games from 81-94) and all other games from 1970-84. I'll never live long enough to do them all, but I'm pumping them out like gangbusters as it is.

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 I understand that you can only do what you can do. Just thought I'd mention a few games. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you. I personally want you to know that I appreciate the work that you've done and are doing.

Hey no worries Jimmy, and thanks. I WISH I could do them all for sure :) I've literally been able to enhance about 8-10 games a week for a while now, but I'm sure I'll burn out at some point, or the NFL will step in and shut me down for a second time. I've been trying to do 1 or 2 Seahawk games a week. That Denver playoff game is in great shape, just dark, but I could totally remedy that.

According the football reference boxscore, Dolphins were favored by 8 points -- www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198312310mia.htm

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 TY.

I have over 70 more 80 and 81 games to possibly work on at some point. Lots of Seahawks stuff.

Oh My.....that is a lot of games....sounds like we are going to be entertained for a long time. Looking forward to them....@@davevolskysbackdoor5673

I hope so, but chances are the NFL will shut me down at some point. To be honest, I'm kinda surprised they haven't already.

I pray they leave you alone....you are doing a great service to us all.@@davevolskysbackdoor5673

Same... that Warner knee injury was a heart breaker.

*dreads

That culture hadn’t taken over…by 1993 it had…it became mainstream and worshipped.

Your comment is idiotic for many reasons. Ask someone smarter than you why. Shouldn’t be hard to find.

Gangster rap culture has tainted society!!! Now most players in all sports talk like 16 year olds.

@@0kneelbeforezod0are the comments incorrect, though, or you just don’t like them?
