NFL Top 100 Teams: Raiders- 1967, 1980, 1983, 1976 

Such a treat to hear the great Bill King again!

I liked the Raiders in 1980 when I was living in N. Cali was a fan, then in 1983 I fell in love with them and bleed silver and black today....remembering that long Marcus run and that intimidating D....it was out of this world.

RIP Daryle Lamonica

The 1983 team is vastly underrated by the experts. Only 3 teams beat them in the regular season, and the Raiders avenged two of those losses in the postseason, destroying the Seahawks and Redskins on the way to becoming world champions. The final scores don't always show it, but consider this: in 3 playoff games, the Raiders held second-half leads of 28 points, 27 points, and 29 points. That is total domination. No one came close to beating them in the postseason.

while maybe the worst of the super teams 1980 raiders were probably my favourite, underdogs renegades and bad asses no one expected to win. Won 4 playoff games 3 on the road.

1976 OAKLAND RAIDERS TEAM IS LOADED WITH NFL HALL OF FAMERS...

2002 Raiders and 1974 Raiders should be in the Top 100 as well.

The Oakland Raiders Just Win Baby!!

Great video - wish it were 40 minutes long! Millen made a great point about the entire 1980 team, especially how many different players on defense made key plays all season and throughout the playoffs.

Just like the Cowboys, the Raiders was one of those teams one either loved or hated.

I WISH I WAS ATLEAST A TEENAGER FROM 1960 TO 1985 WHEN MY BELOVED RAIDERS WAS THE WINNINGEST FRANCHISE IN ALL TIME NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE HISTORY!!!

The 1976 Raiders team is the best one of the three teams to win a championship because that's the year that I was born and the SUPERBOWL took place in Southern California where I grew up.

The '76 RAIDERS were a badass team, with many HoFers, but imo the '83 team is the pinnacle of RAIDERS teams. With the addition of Mike Haynes the defense was complete, from front to back it was a monster... NFL films has them with the #1 CB duo of all time, the #8 LB corp of all time, with Long/Townsend/Alzado/Pickel/Kinlaw on the D-line, and Vann McElroy and Mike Davis at S, this group was rock solid, tight, no weaknesses. On offense it was the aging but savvy vet Plunkett, who had enough left in the tank to lead the offense to victories; Allen, the star RB and all-around great player, doing things no one thought possible; my man Todd Christense, the great TE and a machine when it came to catching the ball; a stout offensive line led by 00 Dave Dalby (one of 3 RAIDERS to start in all 3 RAIDERS SB victories), and the legendary Cliff Branch at WR that didn't just stretch the field but was a threat any time, anywhere (loved his down field block for Marcus on the SB run, dude was so damn fast). How this isn't a top 10 if not a top 5 team is beyond me.

1980 OAKLAND RAIDERS DEFENSE: TED HENDRICKS, MATT MILLEN, ROD MARTIN, LESTER HAYES, &, MORE...

Between The 1976 & 1983 Raiders. are my most favorite for sure. But if you had to pick the one, The LA Raiders of 83 are a reason why the Raiders are so much big in Popular Culture.

The 1983 Raiders is the best team ever, even better than the 1985 Bears.

The 83 Raider team is by far their best team with the most talent and their greatest defensive line and secondary in their history!

those teams were great i remeber the 80 and 83 teams the best

The 1983 Raiders were the last AFC team to win a Super Bowl until the 1997 Broncos. From 1984 to 1996 it was all NFC getting the rings.

I'M A DIE HARD MEMBER OF THE LOS ANGELES RAIDERS NATION 4 LIFE OR NO LIFE EST 1982!!! I'M STILL ALL IN#

The 83’ Raiders were a great team but squandered chances in 84’ BUT SPECIFICALLY 82’.!! What HURT ME THE MOST Was in the 70’s it seemed like instead of focusing on beating the Steelers we focused on fighting.. & what HURT ME THE MOST WAS when we had B. Jackson it was like “Ok whn Bo comes in we’ll turn things around.” INSTEAD OF BEING LIKE “We already have Pro- Bowlers & All-Pros when WE ADD BO WITH MARCUS , TODD CHRISTIAN , T. BROWN with our O-Line we’re going to be UNSTOPPABLE.” See complete different way of thinking.!! I feel like we should definitely have more than 3 SUPER BOWLS.!! But the Greatness of the Raiders is in its Future.!!

Phil valopolooza must answer the phone like this “hello, I will do it”

Lamonica was better than Namath at that time.

Listen to what Matt Millen is saying! Hear those words about team. Listen to what Foo says about team. THAT is what is happening in Vegas right now! They know what it means to be a Raider. They understand the meaning of COMMITMENT to Excellence. The commitment part of that has been missing in parts. The league is gonna learn why they fear the dark.

Grew-up near Pittsburgh and was a Steelers Fan.... 1983 Raiders were scary, but the 1980 Raiders pulled-off the most unlikeliest of Super Bowl Champions ever... Did Lester Hayes have BEST Season ever as a CB???

!980 was the year the Browns should have beaten them but the wind prevented them from going for a game winning FG and had to pass leading to the infamous Red Right 88 interception

Ultimate Raider team would be 76 offense and 83 defense....

TOUCHDOWN RRRRRRRRAIDERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New England had them beaten in 76 until the gutless refs refused to call Holding on Villapiano vs Russ Francis. Grogan's helmet hasn't come back down yet.

What about 2002 raider team?

Where is the 2002 Raiders? That team was loaded.

Super Vowl 18 was the biggest heartbreak of you young life. The 83 Raiders beat the greatest team in the history of the NFL up to that point, and prevented a dynasty. My hats off to them.

Wasn't for Harris Bleier being hurt Steelers would crushed them

'83 > '76

In an 8-year stretch, they lost 5 out of 6 AFC championship games. Their playoff record is full of disappointment. Great regular season team in the 70's but always choked in the playoffs.
