1966 Falcons First Campaign - AtlantaFalconPokerPro - 12-10-2010 11:55 AM

I uploaded a video you those of you that aren't old enough to know about the Falcons first year in professional football. It's a NFL Films documentary that is about thirty minutes long and covers the the whole season, including our first draft. It's just like the current NFL Film Yearbooks, just the 1966 version. Big Grin


Enjoy!

In case you missed the Roddy and TG video, here is the link. Due to storage limitations with Vimeo, I had to upload the video to Metcafe.

Man, thanks so much for posting that. Never seen that 66 Falcons video. Look how much more physical the defense's were allowed to be in those days!

I have about 15 different "Yearbook" episodes. I'm just having a hard time finding a place to upload them. Most sites like Vimeo have a 500mb per week limit. If they don't limit the size then they limit the length.

I don't mind uploading other Falcon related videos if anyone knows a good place to upload.

People old enough to remember probably don't because of memory loss due to old age. Tongue

j/k, I'm only 29 so they were before my time.
