BTN re-played this game the other night. I remember watching that game in my college apartment with all of my friends. Great day!
What struck me was how many plays I saw in that game that would be deemed as penalties in today's game. The game has completely changed. I saw at least 20 things in that game that would be considered a 15 yard penalty today. None of which were aggregeous, but with today's ticky tack officiating, that game would have been unwatchable with today's rules. The physicality is completely gone.
