Pat Summerall, when he was younger and not boozing, was great. The Summerall and Tom Brookshier team was even better than Summerall and John Madden.

I sometimes forget how good Moss was. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm surprised that even that much is on YouTube. The NFL is usually pretty brutal about not allowing their copyrighted video to appear on public sites.

That has to be one of my all time favorite games.

Something that stood out: none of Cuningham's passes were particularly sharp, but he had an obvious rapport with both CC and Randy. Impeccable timing and trust.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. :lol:

Being that good and wasting it. Oh, and seeing Anderson. :x Bittersweet memories for sure.

Moss and the Vikes made it look too darn easy. I miss those days.

I miss the Madden-Summerall combo almost as much as Cunningham-Moss-Carter. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Really provides a stark contrast in scheme/talent at the QB/WR position from then to now.

I miss that scheme ... I guess you need the right kind of players for it though.

That last video -- what a ridiculously awesome pass from Cunningham. Then Carter stares at the Cowboys secondary like "what".

For some reason, when they are showing the replay of the first one, and Summerall said 'A lightning strike by the Minnesota offense' I got chills. What a great season that was.

I remember on one of those Moss TDs, Randall went to the line and bent over to take the snap smiling ear to ear. They decided to single Moss, he knew right then where the ball was gonna go. Man that was the funnest year ever ever ever.

Not saying that he will ever be another Moss but I see a lot of similarities between Patterson and him. Moss was faster but no where near as strong.
I loved the way Carter (my favorite all time Viking) mentored him and was always downfield blocking on pass and running plays.
Let's hope that CP is half the receiver Moss was :thumbsup:
