Surprised to find you here commenting in a Browns video. I still remember Metcalf making that zig zag hop into the end zone against the Bengals on Monday Night Football. Or his two TD returns against the Steelers for the win in a night game. Even so, Belichick utilized him poorly. Metcalf up the middle was one of the worst designed plays of that era.
@@ClevRocker are you talking about the '94 game in Cleveland? If so, that game just finished during the evening. I think it started in the afternoon late slot
That dawg pound roar is unforgettable...and I love how Charlie and the announcers of the past let you live in and relish the moment. Today's announcers love to talk over these big moments and beat it to death...
I was at this game. I was 13 years old and it was my first Browns game. Incredible game. Some amazing sights in and outside the stadium that day. I'll never forget it.
What a thrill to watch, Great game!! The dirt, the puff dusk, the old Brown's uniforms, the throwback to the late 80's!! The Dawg pound-what a noise!! A great game with all the conditions, great end to the game. Charlie Jones, I love his commentary..just his voice alone sets the tone. Jim Kelly, Andre Reed, Kosar, Matthews, Smith, Thomas, Metclaf a All star line up. GREAT GAME, Pleasure to watch it!!
@@ll-SNARL-ll The Broncos were up at the half. They didn’t really romp them despite the score. The Redskins had one blowout quarter but the other three quarters were pretty close. The 9ner’s game none of the Broncos showed up that game. Denver had played San Fran earlier in the year and it was close like 16-13 or 19-16, something like that. Despite Elway later saying they didn’t even belong on the field with San Fran, I think they at least could have been competitive if they actually showed up. It was like the Manning/Seahawks blowout.
The last year of the Browns 5 year run. The 2nd year of the Bills 6 year playoff run. 3 thru 6 were to the SB. Both of these teams should of had at least one SB win each during their runs. Love watching these old games
Call me crazy but I love the Cleveland Browns colors and uniforms. They are so classic, so simple, so football perfect. I love that they have only made moderate changes, if any, through the years. I see very good things coming Cleveland’s way, all that suffering is not going to be in vain. I’m stuck here in Seattle with arguably the most hideous uniforms ever. I grew up in Connecticut and did like the Patriots as a kid, especially their old uniforms. Really wish they’d go back to them. But the Browns have always had a place in my heart. Great city, great fans. I’d love to see a game there someday.
This was my first live football game, I moved to Madison Ohio from Buffalo. I was in third grad and still remember this game, very underrated game in NFL history!
Bernie Kosar looked like he clanked when he ran. And yet, he was one of the top 2-3 QB's of his era, just an amazing player. Disappointing that the Browns couldn't quite get to the SB, but watching him run that offense was a joy and a thing of beauty forever.
@@jeremykrause4665 Moon was the better overall player. he just played in a gimmick offense and only had a few good defenses in his career. his numbers are way better too.
Y'all really do.....loyal as hell too!! Im.a seahawk fan for life, but one if my favorite memories back when the Brownies were good was watching the dawg pound crazies get into it for their team. Exhillerating.
Steve Tasker or Kent Hull will be the next Bills player from that era to make it to the HOF. Cornelius Bennett and Darryl Talley may end up in Canton someday too. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Bruce Smith, Marv Levy, and GM Bill Polian are already in and more will likely follow
@Dave Wesley Wolford was really good. But Kent Hull is one of the better centers who have ever played in my opinion. Howard Ballard and Joe Devlin were good tackles too. The Bills just had a really solid team all across the board. Their only disadvantage was their D-Line was a little undersized besides Bruce Smith. Jeff Wright, Leon Seals, and Phil Hansen would get pushed around by bigger offensive lines like Washington and Dallas did in the Super Bowls
@@jeremythompson9122 Their misfortune was in all SBs that undersized D was over hugely matched by huge and talented NFC East O-Lines. They would have beat any other NFC Conference team like SF.
@@54GARYBOY That's a fact many have forgotten with time. The entire AFC was like that though. The Browns lost to the same Bills team the following year, 42-0. But our roster was much worse.

Surprised you didn't mark the Don Beebe "pogo stick" play where he bounces on his head. Probably the single-most notable play from this game. (1:14:22)
@@budx55 hahaha don't know if this is a joke but NOT winning is never better than winning. Brady has more rings than your entire franchise history ever will.
I was at this game when I was 10. It was frigid and wild. Don Beebe being knocked on his head. The stadium shook that day. I've never been to a game like it in my life. I miss Municipal Stadium.
This is my favorite game from my childhood, I'm from Cleveland so biased, but what a great game, Bills would never lose to another AFC team in the playoffs after this game, 4 straight Super Bowls, amazing
And this was actually the game that prompted the Bills to go no huddle as their base offense. Saw this game up on RU-vid and figured I'd watch it again. As a Bills fan it was a fun run, but this was the catalyst game that pushed them over the top, even with the loss.
This turned out to be the last stand for the mid to late 1980's era Browns, as contract discord, age, and further deterioration of the offensive line led to a complete rebuild after that awful 1990 season.
So true. There’s a book called “Sundays in the Pound” and it talks about all of that stuff you mentioned. The author believes the Decline of the late 80’s Browns began when they traded away Center Mike Baab. He said that effected Kosar tremendously because Baab was superb at calling out blocking assignments and thought exactly like Kosar offensively. So, they would often see the same things and when Kosar would audible Baab always got his other linemen on point. PS- Marty Schottenheimer insisted on trading Baab away because he was infatuated with Greg Rakoczy, an inferior center that the Browns had drafted early in the second round-32nd overall.
@@robkeel100 Wow, I have to check that book out; I'm fond of the Browns anyway (old Browns, Ravens, New Browns, Einhorn is Finkle, Finkle is Einhorn), but I know Kosar also had to plant his foot a certain way to have an effective drop back (I loved the unique way Kosar did things, and so intelligent). Centers are also very smart, and Baab was a good one. But yeah, Gregg Rakoczy had journeyman ability, and ended his career with those bad early-1990's Patriots. Marty Schottenheimer though Rakoczy was an upgrade over Baab, but not even a little that was.
Desmond Anderson The Bills last made the playoffs in 1999-losing the music city miracle to the Titans while the Browns last appearance was in 2002-losing a heartbreaker to the Steelers in the 3rd biggest comeback in playoff history.
This was such an under rated playoff game, and some how got lost in time. I guess bc neither team made the super bowl, but it's a shame, bc it's a classic. There are other great games people forget about, like the Jets and browns in 86. I love reliving these games from the 80's. Some truly compelling games that today's youth doesn't even know happened.
It was underrated because of the teams and cities in the game. The major networks hated both cities with their dreary weather and small local fan bases. If this were Pittsburgh-Oakland? Instant classic would have been bestowed upon this game.
Desmond Anderson I think it was a more exciting game overall. The best part of the Jets game was last few minutes. The bills 89 game was good all the way through. Just my opinion.
Thanks for this classic. Watched entire game here again and still got the chills and disappointment (Bills fan). Look how simple on the graphics- Listen to the crowd noise WITHOUT electronic music and screens encouragement! Great game in great stadium -weather and fans- OLD SCHOOL tough football. That old place really could rock and Browns have NO home field crowd advantage after leaving it. We got the best of Charlie Jones and his old AFL voice with Merlin Olsen- guys who called the game and let you enjoy it! But damn Harmon !
F*cking awesome! One of the few times I'm glad that I'm 40 and was able to see this team when they weren't an f'n joke! Swear one of the reasons I started liking the Browns was the atmosphere at Muni. It was insane.
Billy I'm someone who hates Hillary and trump but can we not talk about politics on a football video people like you ruin these normal non political videos.
Amazing, the video quality of this nearly 30-year old recording to tape is better than what I get from my Direct TV 90% of the time. If it's raining, 100% of the time.
I loved winter games in the old cleveland stadium. Everyone would be covered in dirt and mud by halftime. They've taken mud out of the modern game, and that's one thing I hate about it.
I know people all over Buffalo, and fans of the Bills were pissed when Ronnie Harmon dropped the potential game winning TD pass in the end zone & I get why they felt the way they did towards him. But me, being a Chargers fan, I was glad to see him in San Diego for the next 5 or 6 years of his career. All I can say is dude was money in a Bolts uniform when the Chargers needed big plays in crucial moments of a game. The team improved every year he was there, and they eventually went to the super bowl in 1994, following Buffalo’s 4 year run. And Harmon was a big factor in San Diego’s success, and helping them get to their only super bowl. Sorry all you bills fans felt that way about him but a lot of people in San Diego, including myself loved watching him play in lightning bolts ⚡️
Forgotten classic. The Harmon dropped TD felt like the Mandela Effect in my head for a while...like I imagined it. but there it is, at 2:49:44 all over again.
Both QBs tore the crap out of these defenses: Jim Kelly: 28/54, 405 Passing Yards, 4TD, 2INT, 85.8QB Rating Bernie Kosar: 20/29 251 Passing Yards, 3TD, 0INT, 130.1QB Rating
Charlie Jone and Merlin Olsen was a awesome combo commentating. This has to be one of my favorite NFL playoff games ever. The call charlie JONES makes when metcalf returns that kickoff was amazing. He himself almost went nuts with excitement lol P.S. FOX please fire Joe Buck
...... chiefs gave them every reason to win the game ! That spearing head to head on the touchback fumble was too sad maybe cost the game Oh well GO PACK GO ALL ABOARD THE D TRAIN powered by z & p Smith Darnell the savage Jaire pit bull tough Alexander Kenny Clark Kevin the king Dean lowry Snacks We coming for tom Brady
@@JakeWilsonMMA It was so sad, man! ;w; Here's to hoping they continue their good fortunes going forward! Now I'm rooting for Buffalo all the way there, no questions asked!
Cleveland made the mistake of not using Metcalf as a flanker, the second wide receiver who must be positioned behind the lineman before the snap because a flanker is a running back used as another wide reciever . When Metcalf went to the Falcons they made him a flanker and he was an amazing receiver , great moves, quickness to get open , and of course his stellar moves, acceleration and blazing speed after he caught the ball .
at 2:50:32 you can see Donald Trump congratulating Modell in his private box-Trump had owned a USFL team (NJ Generals) but never achieved his own ambition of owning an NFL team
These were the Freaking Days!!! I miss this type of broadcasting! they talk about how this natural grass field is the worst in the league ( now that talk is a Big NO NO. no negativity or u get slapped), how the Bills play on artificial turf, and how the weather will be an advantage for one team over the other!! We never get straight football talk nowadays. Some Hollywood guy has to come in to Finesse us to make it more interesting. There's where they get it wrong! The game is Great no need to try and improve on it! Go Bills
I was almost 11 years old when I watched this game, and I just knew Don Bebe had a broken neck on that play, and thought he died! Funny what we think as children sometimes. I will always remember that play.
Browns had over 12:00 TOP in the first quarter alone, scored three points... Browns had around 13:00 TOP total in the second and third quarters combined, scored 28 points...
The field at the old Browns stadium was crappy, but the atmosphere and passion of the Dawg Pound make you realize the old Browns had the talent and support to win the Super Bowl. The fact they won it in Baltimore instead of Cleveland is hard to believe at times.
A forgotten great playoff game this was. Kosar and Kelly at their peak, and Thomas starting to show the talents that landed him in the HOF. And if my memory holds, this was the last playoff game the Browns have won up to now.
The old Cleveland Browns were great, but I think the new Cleveland Browns will be just as great, all in due time. Forget the 1-15 2016 season, They can only get better.
Four of us Bills fans drove to this game, what a heartbreaker! A great game start to finish, we were proud of our team, GREAT effort. Harmon should have been made to walk home after that drop in the end zone. Sports illustrated showed it frame by frame, he had it in his hands. D'oh!! The Browns fans were unrelenting in their harassment, was very unsafe in the parking lots and the stadium. (A Bills fan "fell" from the upper deck?) There were fights on the way out, I was in one I didn't start. dam, they won, so why?
