@@Ruribitz You should check out some footage of brain injuries before concussion protocol. Especially the recurring brain injuries which nobody realized were actually just the same unhealed injury getting re-injured worse and worse. And while you’re watching that footage, remember, those guys got paid so little that they needed to work side jobs in the off-season to pay the bills, and couldn’t financially afford to risk their job on the team by sitting out for any length of time to heal a booboo which is so tiny that nobody can even see it.
Incredible vid. I was a kid in Cleveland during the ‘86 season. My dad took me to just about every game that year - including the double ot divisional playoff against the Jets and a week later”the drive”. I know that he didn’t take me to the game shown here but it’s so cool to get a glimpse of our old season ticket section, thinking about all the great memories from that season. Thank You So Much for uploading this vid.
Awesome post!!! Thank you!!! Great memories!! I lived 1.5 miles from the stadium, and used to see Boomer and the boys out around town and at the Central YMCA in cincinnati. Boomer and the boys rented the court out one day. I was shooting hoops in a smaller court next to it. There was this nondiscript black guy just shooting baskets with me. Not much bigger than I was.. it was James Brooks, JB., and about a week after hebran through 4 tackles and Sam Whiche came out on the field and shook his hand. Fantastic memories.
@@turtle19dad I was just talking about him to a buddy. Chargers traded him for Pete Johnson. It was a terrible trade for the Chargers. They wanted to find a back like Chuck Muncie and Johnson was a huge body but the Bengals won that trade in a landslide.
James Brooks not Corey Dillon imo is the best back in Bengals history. Dillon has more rushing yards but Brooks was an excellent reciever as well. Brooks played on winning teams as well.
The bengals from this era were something to see. There has never been another team like it, probably never will be. Plus they’re actually playing this game on a baseball field! Should be a fun watch! 😁👍
Lots of very experimental stuff on offense and defense that would eventually change the game.....early versions of it on display here. Announcers made fun of Wyche/Bengals experimenting with huddles.
Easy to see watching this game how the rules have changed in certain areas..one thing i noticed was tackling and when they go out of bounds and they don't let up..
Damn , I was 6 years old back when this game was played. I do remember the Super Bowl in 89 though. I remember the Who Dey beer and all that. It was a good time. I remember that we had to move to Fresno California right after the bowl as well. That’s what sucked lol
When the Dawg Pound was growing organically. The fans were real, rabid, and working class. The Browns wore their beautifully understated home all-whites (should be their home unis for all time!). Nothing makes me want to puke more than when the current team wears all-brown or other clown crap.
Back in the days when Sam Wynch the Bengals coach was hated by Cleveland Fans because he called them out and cried during a football game once and said..Settle down your not in Cleveland during a game when fans were throwing stuff from the stands...not sure who they were playing during that game ..But after that from then on he was hated in Cleveland and they never let him forget it..
Yes. Back when watching a football game didn’t look like they were trying to make it look like a video game. Today’s Bills/Cowboys with all the circles/graphics when they were lined up looked like they were trying to make it Madden. Fox sucks. Go back to CBS (NFC) NBC (AFC).
That's the first thing I noticed from kickoff! I liked the road/home uniform switches then and still do. If I am not mistaken, doesn't that depend on whether the home team chooses its own home uniform or white? I'm no Cowboys fan, but I like their road blue. The best was their road/away royal blue uniform decades ago. Cheers to you, my friend!
It’s funny. BERNIE KOSAR would be riding the bench or on the practice squad these days. Those numbers are not impressive. It just shows how much the league has changed.
@meminustherandomgooglenumbers lol yeah I wasnt an NFL QB so as a QB sure... but compare him to the best QBs of his Era. He was nothing special. Sorry I BUTTHURT you man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@audiofreak8888 being “nothing special” compared to guys like Joe Montana and Dan Marino, is still pretty darned good. I never heard anyone put him on a higher level than that, which by your own admission is exactly where they’d have to rank him in order to call him overrated.
