My goodness seeing those old uniforms brings a tear to my eye. If I were owner I would immediately bring them back. This is the team I fell in love with back in 1978. I grew up in NY, but wanted no part of those teams. First time I saw the Patriots on national TV during a Monday night game I was instantly in love...lol.
Love this broadcast! (I was living in my hometown of Boston at the time, so I might have watched it!) Broadcasters play off each other well. Screen is clean, not littered with all kinds of network ads, useless information, endless stats, or pictures of guys -- just a football game with good commentary. Miss that!
A pleasure to hear Jim Hill as the main announcer on this game, thought he was a stellar sportscaster for decades on the local CBS station in Los Angeles, KCBS
What a season for the Patriots. Looking back on it, nobody thought New England could make the run that they did. The Patriots back then were notorious for teasing their fans. Since 1974 til 85 the Patriots had as good a roster as any team, and always...and I mean ALWAYS found a way to disappoint. But 1985 changed everything. Even though the Pats hot their red coats blown off by Chicago the fans got a taste of big time football. It was short lived though, but then, a coach and QB ran off (and still going) a impressive streak of success not seen since the Green Bay Packers of the 60's. The NFL hasn't been the same, but it really all began with this 1985 version. Nothing like having Championship football shine down on your team and town. When it gets cookin', and your going back to back, 3 out of 4, and 9 times in 18 years its a redundancy that no one in New England will never complain about.
FIRST of 7 Patriots football 🏈 games I attended in person in 1985! 6 at Sullivan Stadium; 1 at Orchard Park NY. (Rich Stadium) PATRIOTS were 7-0 when I attended the football 🏈 games LIVE! The NEXT year, I bought season tickets (section 211, row 9, seat 33/next to the aisle!). I still remember yelling: "GO CRAIG! RUN CRAIG! RUN CRAIG"! (as he took off on a 65 yard TD run! It ultimately won the game! 26 to 20)
The snow bowl game, had to be over a foot of snow already fallen when game started and think another 6-8 inches fell by games end. A very green Steve Young was the Bucs QB that day, also in 1985
@@rickpeuser233 i remember wen gregg did this, it was ooo la la look at the fancy new packer jerseys, i believe they put a g on the pants too, they put g's all over the place and called them new uni's, after he got canned they got rid of all the extra g's, he redesigned bengals stuff as coach there too
