1985 - Seahawks at Bengals (Week 1) - Enhanced NBC Broadcast - 1080p 

Criqui & Trumpy were always a solid duo for NBC. Thanks Dave 👍

Yet another great enhancement here. SO much garbage was cleared out of the original picture by Topaz. VERY clear and sharp now. Resolve did a nice job of brightening a very dark picture and returning color back to it. You can see before/after shots here -- imgbox.com/g/tdLd2tQKsQ

Tremendous job with this, Dave. The sharpness and clarity from a game from almost 40 years ago is amazing. Schonert almost duplicated his heroics from the '81 opener vs Seattle. It's a shame that both he and Sam have since passed away. Turk was only 62. Also, love those original Seahawks helmets!

Once again, top notch quality strikes back! I remember as a 13 yr old watching this, esp collinsworth’s 71 yrd reception and run like it was yesterday! Love the ads at the time as well(thanks for including them!!!)

1:23:17 _Miami Vice_ theme used as highlight music. Nice!

Thanks again Dave for another Seattle Seahawks game! I love my Seahawks! The baseball and basketball games are much appreciated to,

I also believed that we would see the Seattle Seahawks meet the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl.

Was wondering where Esiason was... he takes over in week two against St Louis.

Thank you Dave. Much appreciated.

Hey, I'm glad you extended the cutoff a bit for non-49er Games. If you have any Giants games from the 80s, no matter the year, especially any games with LT, I'd love to see them! Especially 85, 86, 87, and 89. I very much appreciate all that you do. Thank you :)

Cris Collinsworth was a much better receiver than commentator

those 1985 and 1986 Seahawks were such hard luck teams. People talk about 86 as one of the better teams to miss the playoffs entirely, but 1985 they had three 3 pt losses (one in OT) an above average offense and a top 10 D

There was once a Curt Warner and a Kurt Warner who played in the NFL and I am lucky to have seen them both play.

Vintage NFL

Looks great

Sunday night past 7pm est...Mile High Stadium...camera shaking...Criqui and Trumpy

lol my dad still says 'oh, I must be in the front row' whenever the situation presents itself.

I think Criqui was the best back then. Trumpy was a good side kick, and he was smart enough not to talk incessantly like that wide receiver on the field for Cincinnati who now just won't shut up on the NBC Sunday night games. I frequently have to mute Collinsworth because he has to weigh in on everything like he knows it all. Trumpy, Len Dawson, Hank Stram and George Allen were all knowledgeable analysts, but they weren't in love with the sound of their own voices. The color analysts now think they are the show and they constantly talk when they should pick their spots. As soon as Tirico stops for a breath of air, Collinsworth launches on his annoying diatribes.

It's funny that these 2 teams played in sweltering heat in this game, but a year earlier, they played in snow, which was also in Cincinnati. Seattle won that game as well 26-6

5:44 , 1:57:27 , 2:31:52 , 2:42:46 Brutal Hits

Rams and Raiders were in the same TV market at that time. I don't know how that worked.

NFL !!!!

This was an odd Seahawks team. They went 8-8, winning two in a row and then losing two in a row throughout the season.

Well done Dave.

Love the 1985 theme.

Hall of Famer Steve Largent has a solid game 5-81 (16.2avg.) Largent had a better career avg. (16.0) than Rice(14.8),Moss(15.6),Owens(14.8)

Opening drive and there’s a terrible call by the officials. Turns out people have been complaining about poor officiating for decades.

A non-49ers game past the 1984 cutoff? Talk about a pleasant surprise (for this Seahawks fan that was born during the '84 season). But all kidding aside, there were a lot of expectations for the Seahawks in '85 but they were a disappointment, because of an annoying trend of winning two in a row, then losing two in a row (on repeat all season long 😳) to end the season 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

Go Seahawks.

Why is Ken Anderson not in the HOF?

I'd like to donate some games from early 80s that are master for Dave to clean up and preserve....anyone know how i get a hold of him?!

"(The Seattle Seahawks are) rated by many as the club in the AFC that'll go the Super Bowl in January..." They went .500 and missed the playoffs.

Dave Krieg for HOF

I love the limited advertisements. Two simple commercials then back to the game ✅
