- Few remember this, but the Atlanta Falcons of the late 1970s and early 1980s were good. As in, “greatest defense in NFL history” good. They were thinking Super Bowl, and you couldn’t blame them, either. Grab your miniature pretzels and lemon drink. We’re about to know God personally.
This is part two of a seven-part series.
Written and hosted by Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein
Directed by Jon Bois
Produced by Alex Rubenstein
Rights specialist Lindley Sico
Secret Base executive producer Will Buikema
Secret Base managing editor Ryan Nanni
Corrections:
9:00 - Two other teams should be highlighted in green as playoff teams: PHI and HOU.
12:05 - The title of this chart should read “Adjusted net yards” and not “Average net yards.”

“Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth” has me fucking crying
The scouts agreed that nothing good ever came out of Nazareth.
I dropped my phone hearing that😭
Almost choked on my lunch
That's odd, lots of players and coaches depended on him.
His game had a lot of holes in it
"Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth, Jesus Christ has been credited with many Super Bowl victories" is a sentence I never thought was audible. But here we are.
I'm gonna steal this the next time someone comes from behind to win the Super Bowl.
According to some accounts, he is the only player with 55 Super Bowl rings.

@@SimuLord 3-7 after super bowl LV
Fantastic line 😂
"Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth..."
I swear to God, Jon will have one line in each video that is just perfection.
He nails it, every time
Might not wanna get nails too near Christ... just saying...
12:45
Completely agree.
Yea, the richard nixon was the good one in part 1
A football team allowing comparable amounts of points as a baseball team on the same field in the same year is the exact kind of ridiculous stats I watch Dorktown for.
And then not even making the playoffs with said defense
@@MrAtlfan21 "The Falcons and pain are binded at the core."
-UrinatingTree
As a dorky sports enthusiast those stats were soooo satisfying
I’m sorry, did you just describe Jesus Christ as ‘undrafted out of Nazereth’?
I love this channel
This is, as I read on tumblr, that spicy kind of Christian that gets you burned for heresy.
This literally made me shoot soda out of my nose
Absolutely brilliant.
I came here to say this Lmao.
He was a walk-on. Some see him as a miracle worker.
"He was now both general manager and head coach"
I just felt a thousand Houston Texans fan scream.
Bill O'Brien is a Hack
No one will ever convince me that Bill o Brian didn't have naked photos of the owner I swear
And it gets even worse than that. During that 1976 season with Peppler in charge, the Falcons played the Seahawks, a team that was 1-7, with the lone win coming against the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks hadn't scored more than 24 points in any game that season. They scored 30 through three quarters and won in a blowout, with the game being so bad that Tommy Nobis briefly quit the team
Ah Bill O Brien.
Hundreds of Texans fans are dealing with PTSD from that.
Everyone: “Defense wins championships.”
Jon Bois: “The best defense in the last 50 years by points allowed went 7-7.”
That's fair, defense is half the game. If the other half sucks, you'll only be able to win half the games with the greatest defense of all time.
When your offense and special teams aren't the least bit reliable, it's hard to win even with that D.
Defense only wins chanpionships if the offense isn’t ranked in the bottom 5.
says a lot though that a team could go 7-7 with one of the worst offenses of all time
Gritz Blitz was better than the steel curtain. But, since it’s Atlanta , at the same time you had an offense that was living under a steel curtain…
absolutely loving how that sax theme just keeps kicking in whenever the saints come up, it’s such a great touch
A motif, if you will.
I love it. The cue is "Urban Saxman," for anyone going nuts scrolling back and forth from the music credits at the end: czcams.com/video/J5nhX7cyvFs/video.html
This channel uses music with a transcendent degree of precision.
what a killer ending
Truly a prime example of excellence.
Thank you for the insight, Connor
Hey
With the way they introduced Griffey and Ichiro in the last series, I'm not surprised
@@gabdex83 That Ichiro introduction still gives me goosebumps.
First summoning salt and now the Bois, what a wonderful day to have eyes!
Hahaha legit tho. SB&SS 👀

Now all we need is a crossover episode

Eyeless lives matter
"Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth, Jesus Christ has been credited as the driving force behind many Super Bowl victories."
😂 Never change, Jon
“They named him Peachtree Bart, named after the street he was seen partying.”
Anyone in Atlanta: Do you know how little that narrows it down!?
And, not a damned peach tree to be found. They once planted some downtown, but they all croaked.
Exactly
I think no better game exemplifies how bad the 77 Falcons defense had it than their 3-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The defense played lights out, and yet, still lost to a Buffalo team that had dropped 14 straight games. And that's because the Falcons offense did the following:
- Went 9-for-20 through the air
- Averaged just 2.9 yards per carry
- Had starting quarterback Scott Hunter finish with a passer rating of 12.9
- Went for it on 4th and 1 with three minutes left and didn't get it because nobody could pick up their blocking assignment
The Gritz Blitz deserved so much better
That ‘77 Falcons defense is possibly the greatest in NFL history, but it's largely forgotten because of the horrible offense that year and that they didn’t even make the playoffs.
The performance of that defense was wasted so many times throughout that season!
A passer rating of 12.9? That's worse than if you just spiked the ball into the ground on every single play!
@@JWex-jy7sk so a very falcons season
I wanna like this more times. They don't get their praise as an all time unit, and that is not good for them or the fans.
We either have a great offense and shit defense, or an amazing defense and a shit offense. For some reason it can never be both
I went from never having heard of Steve Bartkowski to believing he should be a Hall of Famer in 45 minutes.
crazy arm
If he had a offensive line, there’s no doubt he would’ve been a hall of famer. His career was plagued with injuries.
Bart had a great arm, but because of his injuries, he was not very mobile. Which, of course, means he was always in danger of being sacked. Even though Ryan is today not what he used to be, he is still able to get out of trouble with his feet. Bart really never had that ability.
@@davidcarlton7191 Ryan’s otherwise HoF-worthy legacy is forever marred by owning those two dang records. Fans will forever remember him for that, but if the it keeps him outta Canton that will be a shame.
@@jluchette Sorry what records?
jesus christ is canonically in the secret base cinematic universe
¡Hallelujah!
That introduction they gave to Deion at the end was masterful
The Falcons and Mariners have one thing in common: Shit teams, epic players.
@@Ishkur23 Home cities with a seething hatred for the Patriots
NFL: “Kurt Warner was maybe the greatest undrafted player in NFL history.”
Jon Bois: “Actually that was Jesus out of Nazareth.”
Never in my life, even as a student at a Christian college, did I ever think I would hear “Jesus Christ may have went undrafted out of Nazareth” this series and this channel are awesome
Not religious but when Greg Brezina went to Michel to comfort him after the missed kick I broke down and cried. Forever will love this series and dorktown.
Jon: Wanna see the Falcons defense in 1977?
KTO fans: *my time has come*
I have watched so many sports videos from SB, KTO, UTree, and a bunch of other people on this platform over the past few years that I knew going into this series how weird the Falcons were gonna be lol
@@bmac4 SB, KTO, U-Tree, FivePoints, Flemlo, Stark Raving Sports, Brett Kollmann, Set The Edge, and others.
I seen that KTO video back in the day and never knew i needed this after but god we did lol
“As offensive linemen who never scored a touchdown, these two have no highlight reels. Just like how you never tell a bridge good job when you go across it.”
I always dig your similes and metaphors
Mr. Bois. Thank you for your hard work and determination.
That tease for Deion Sanders was amazing.
Hell this whole video was amazing. I can't wait for the next part!
@Fries the best of all time
@Fries my opinion I suppose
No. Kk
As a Falcons fan who started watching them in 1973 when my Dad had season tickets, this series has so far been wonderful and nostalgic, as well as sad at times, thinking what could have been. I just wanted to add a few notes of things I didn't see mentioned. This is not a criticism, I know if you included every tidbit, it would be 4 hours long! But I do think when discussing the 1980 season, while Bart's rocket arm was the biggest part, I'm surprised you did not mention the ground team of William Andrews and Lynn Cain. Andrews especially, was a beast. Before his career-ending injury, he simply could not be brought down. I remember in particular the Redskins game where he dragged four tacklers about 15 yards before they could get him down. It was said that trying to tackle him was like tackling a bowling ball, all you got was helmet, knees and elbows. He did not have blazing speed, but if he got into the open with a head of steam, he was almost unstoppable. There were a lot of tough yards on the ground that set Bart up for his bombing attacks. I remember how many times Andrews would get them a tough first down at mid field, and you just KNEW the next play was a bomb to Jenkins or Francis. When he was healthy and had protection (he was no scrambler) he was basically Dan Marino before Marino. Nobody could throw it farther with greater accuracy than him.
Also, regarding the 1978 last second tip-ball play at NO, one thing you didn't mention, was that during the game everyone assumed it was a Hail Mary, and what happened was a fluke. But after the game, Bartkowski claimed it was a designed play called Big-Ben that they actually practiced, and they used it more than once. Nowadays, that's pretty standard, a tip-drill play is in every teams playbook. But this may be the first instance of it being a planned play, rather than just a desperation fluke.
Lastly, regarding the 1977 defense, and the drop-off in 1978, while Coryell's "figuring it out" may have played a role, I would add something else, more fundamental. The defensive rule changes. Prior to 1978, defenders could hit and maul receivers almost with impunity. This was what made the Falcons' corners so effective in 1977, Rolland Lawrence was a very physical player. This is why they could risk the all-out blitzes, because the receivers rarely got into the open. However, once the rules changed and you had to keep hands-off the receivers most the time, Lawrence simply did not have the speed to stay with the receivers. He was a physical tormentor, not a speedster. So once freed by the rules changes, the receivers ran all over the Falcons secondary, and scored big when they blitzed. However, even into 1980 they still blitzed A LOT. They got burned a lot, but they also got a lot of sacks and knocked out a lot of QBs (like Staubach in 1978, who was never the same after that game.) And you still could not run against them. Very few RBs ever got near 100 yards against them. They were also very opportunistic and picked off a lot of interceptions. So I think it's unfair to say that they became bad in 1978, they just became a different kind of threat than in 1977.
Again, not criticizing, I know you can't cover EVERYTHING! Really enjoying this.
@Fries I appreciate the extra information and context provided by both of you!
@Chuck Poore @Fries - good read guys, thanks for providing those smaller stories and stats that didn’t find their way into the video
@Fries Honestly I couldn’t tell you! 😄
Never been much of a football person really. I’ve definitely watched enough football (mostly college level I think) on TV with the family (and in high school, I was in the band) that I know enough about the game and its rules to generally understand and appreciate it. Never been very drawn into particular teams or players or fandom though. If asked to name any five NFL players on the spot, I probably couldn’t do it. (The NBA on the other hand… now *that* was my jam [pun intended?] for a looooong time.)
In any case, I still find videos and comments like these, about sports I’m not personally deeply into, to be endlessly fascinating. I know enough about the basic rules of the game, and the very general context, for all the little details and the stories to be super interesting. 😛
@Fries Mine is William Andrews who was a blocking FB at Auburn for Joe Cribbs and James Brooks. Turns out, he was a better RB than both of them, but the imbecile coaching at Auburn wouldn't let him carry it.
Still amazes me how y'all manage to make watching a GameCast from 1979 exciting.
I had to pause for a solid 10 minutes to laugh after that jesus christ bit.
The one thing I look forward to in these series is the music. The song from 16:02 to 21:31 is a BANGER.
francis monkman contrapunkt
@@kamonbr1 Original song: czcams.com/video/HLYnVuanZAk/video.html
Also I now realize I heard this when I was little...what a good song.
The choice in tracks has been so perfect for this series.
Would sound right at home in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Does anyone else get a NFL Films vibe from this song? 😊
“Get yo popcorn ready”-Terrell Owens
“That’s my quarterback!”
The NFL should pay these guys millions of dollars to do these for every team, so people can learn the history of their team and others. These are so great.
I hope they stay right here and never change.
Bengals documentary when? I’d love to hear the tale of a team created by and fueled by spite of the league and the Browns
The NFL is currently looking to hire ppl to dig through statistics as they happen in order to build storylines, I saw it while looking at job postings the other day
"Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth"
Had to pause for a good 2 minutes there to stop laughing
As a 64 year old life long Falcons/Braves/Hawks fan this series is like doubling down on the PTSD. Perhaps it will be good for me though. Professional therapy is a lot more expensive and not nearly as entertaining.
As a Falcon fan since 1966 I share your PTSD
“Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth” is a statement that I never knew I needed to hear spoken
He is risen
hi
He is risen indeed.
crazy that jesus went undrafted after hearing how much he influences some of the all time greats
@@SimuLord he also had serious anger issues. I mean Ryan Leaf shouting a reporter is one thing, but this Jesus guy supposedly walked into a temple and totally flipped out. Not a good image.
@@SimuLord Also tax collectors and ordinary fishermen. He was also potentially responsible for getting people drunk at a wedding by turning the water into wine. One too many character concerns are what hurt his draft stock, I mean, have you ever seen him on Mel Kiper's draft board? 😂
@@SimuLord Don't forget, he was a /really/ wacky character. Not that football hasn't had nore than it's fair share of wacky characters. But when you start claiming you're the savior of mankind and the son of God ... yeah, the only list you're getting put on is a government watchlist.
Did not expect Secret Base to convince me God exists today but here we are
14:06 are we gonna talk about the fact that Steve Bartowskis stats make out an “LI” for super bowl LI?!?
“Although he went undrafted out of Nazereth…”
“Relying on a punter to make an emergency pass is like handing a paintbrush to an elephant: it’s just interesting to see what they will create.”
This is why Jon is the best sports writer, period.
24:14 Now that's a man of God right there! What a awesome scene I'm glad you all brought light to
I can't stop rewatching the wild card round vs the eagles section. Contrapunkt is such a great backing track to this insanity. Is it insane? I don't know. I don't watch enough football. But Jon and Alex could present tablesetting in a way that has me at the edge of my seat.
Gotta say I appreciate this series for sharing that story about Brezina going over to help Michel. I'm not religious, but we need more folks to interpret the word of God in this way and not use it to shit on other people and to make people feel superior.
What a great guy. That's the definition of sportsmanship and the understanding that after everything it's still just a game and there are bigger things going on.
I love those stories. Kinda like Bartolo Colon giving Dee Gordon a total meatball in his first AB after Jose Fernandez passed
I'd never even heard Claude Humphrey's name before, it's part of why I love these documentaries. Lost his mentor, his wingman, and had knee surgery just to crank out 18 sacks the following season. That's why I love football. That's superhero stuff.
Claude was a master of the "head slap" which was outlawed in the 70s.
@Fries Do you remember Frank Nunley of the 49ers? The "Fudge Hammer" could head-slap with anybody.
@Fries Yes...wore the single-car facemask into the 70s. He was among the last of his kind...a throwback to earlier times.
Single-bar
That Falcons player comforting the Eagles punter who wasn't a kicker while even the crowd was on the field celebrating was such a great little moment.
And here I swore I wouldn't cry...
Hearing that ending music, which was last used to introduce Ichiro, made me very excited to meet someone special.
It’s the meeting someone special music
I mean its Deion Sanders so... "someone special" is if anything an understatement.
Jesus Christ went undrafted out of Nazareth. Goddamnit you did it again
As a saints fan I can't believe you had me rooting for the falcons there for a second lmao
I felt similarly as a Panthers fan honestly
Now you know how it feels to be a Falcons' fan.
12:43 is simply flawless. Perfect sports storytelling.
Jon really knows how to introduce star players. I don't even know who Deion Sanders is but I got full body goosebumps.
How do you not know PrimeTime?
@@Eidenhoek i know it seems odd to anyone who knows anything about football but jon and alex have a huge following of viewers who literally don't know sports, don't follow sports, weren't exposed to them. It's an incredible thing. You'll see many comments under their productions from people saying just that but they watch these things over and over.

Everyone talking about the jesus joke but that PHI - ATL playoff music was FIRE
The music during the Falcons Eagles play-off match is epic.
The 24:00 min mark is why to this day Greg Brezina is one of my favorite Falcons. Very solid LB for Atlanta for a long time, but a truly great man.
The anime fight music for the Falcons first playoff game was awesome.
Lol it’s anime music? 😂😂
Sounded more like a Monday Night Football theme ripoff.

Thank you for making this series and the Mariners one I love learning about the history behind teams especially my Ms.
Having Internet helps
I’m hoping for a miniseries on the recent history of my Pirates. They’ve generally sucked for longer than I’ve been alive.
@Fries Oh yeah, I’ve heard about that game. Down 6 runs in the 9th and coming back to win 9-8 on a Brian Giles grand slam. I was only a few months old at the time, so I obviously wouldn’t remember it lol, but I know of it.
The sequence with Cloud Traveler starting with the final Eagles kick is honestly one of the best pieces of multi-media story telling Jon and SB have ever done. Great parallels with the background story with Neil Diamond, great payoffs on the segments themes of kickers, the creativity and eye to notice Brezina's act of faith caught on camera, and Atlanta's final elation at this first ever playoff win. An early peak in the series, which still also had fantastic insight on Mike Vick, the idea to compare Lisa Lopes to the 2 Legit teams and with all the Matt Ryan/Dan Quinn episodes to go.
Great work so far on this series. Yall are already getting to the heart of what makes it so tough to be a Falcons fan, hell to be an Atlanta sports fan in general. They can't just lose normally, they can't just be bad, they have to give you hope first before dashing said hope spectacularly.
The Mariners sail a boat through choppy waters, the Falcons drive a train that has one stop: Pain.
Even though i was born in the 2000s, i will never forget the years 1995 or 1958

@@AQUAPHREESH193 They haven't done anything either in the last 25 years
That Pearson “catch” against the Vikings is so clearly out of bounds - poor vikes can’t catch a break!
They might've ruled he was forced out, which refs were allowed to do until like 2007
At that time, if the defender pushed the receiver out, the refs called it a catch. Only recently did the NFL change that rule
Don't forget the push off on the defender for the hailmary catch
@@michaelsvoboda8380 Watched an NFL films highlight reel when I was 6. I excitedly showed my dad the catch when he came home, to which he only commented that was the point that he realized the NFL is rigged.
Jon and Alex (and Kofie, and everyone else involved) please keep doing your thing. It is entirely unique and brilliant. I can’t get enough of this content
@Fries I'd just stop at anyone
If this is going to be a 6 hour documentary on one of the most okay teams in any sport, I'm all in.
I had a tear in my eye at the 24 minute mark. Thank you for sharing this part of the story.
I can’t believe that some simple music at 16:03 turned bars moving across the screen into a heart pumping battle of the ages
The 80s background music is the best part of the video
ok the part about the eagles using a punter as a kicker even after he sucked for 4 weeks has me rolling lmao
This has already been said, but the "undrafted out of Nazareth" line may be the best Bois line yet, and that is saying a lot.
LETS GOOO ive been waiting on this and I’m not even a falcons fan. Anything with multiple parts from Jon is like waiting for christmas
"The Falcons defence applying as much pressure as the atmosphere atop Mount Everest" Lol.
when that playoff music kicked in bro
The music at 16:02 reminds me of late 80s/early 90s NFL Films productions. Awesome.
The falcons are a team I’ve never really cared about yet here I am extremely invested into this series and the entire history of the team. Cant wait for part 3
As a former O lineman thank you for the fantastic bridge metaphor!
Coming back to watch this after already having seen it multiple times. All I can say is a sincere thankyou to Jon, Alex and all of Secret Base for being the single best story tellers on CZcams. You guys have given me countless hours of enjoyment. You’re amazing.

That segment with the wildcard matchup between the Falcons and Eagles was so fucking good. It seemed so damn important...I think the music had a large role to play in that. The Falcons were made to be the main character in this series, and after all the trials and tribulations and failure in the first part and early parts of this video, everything in the team's history had amounted to that one game, which was their biggest and most important to that point. The production quality on these Dorktown series has me questioning if I deserve to be watching this for free
Watching you recap the second half of that 1978 Falcon wild card game, I feel like your planting a seed for future reference to SB LI. The Eagles on the verge of clinching until a turnover. A 3rd and long leading to a fingertip Falcon catch. 19:50
I'm getting flash forward images of Matt Ryan and Julian Edelman.
Jon is using his opening monologue to attack everyone who has ever attempted building the IKEA MALM chest of drawers.
The guy who wrote the music for the playoff game against the Eagles went so much harder than a music-library composer ever needs to do. Incredible

the timing of the Jesus Christ frame absolutely killed me. great work as usual, guys.
I do not care how many years ago this was, “undrafted out of Nazareth” is my favorite line from any Secret Base video ever 😂
Dude does have a cannon even without amazing footwork. Dude would have top 5 arm talent in the nfl today.
"although he went undrafted out of Nazareth" lmaoooo that one got me good
I only know of Deion Sanders because of the noise he’s making at the University of Colorado but that is honestly really funny to see him be revealed at the end like that.
Honestly, my favorite part is the end of that Falcons-Eagles game with Brezina and Michel. I'm not even particularly religious, but the way Brezina took time while his entire team and city were celebrating, and Michel was in the depths of the worst moment of his life (for something he couldn't even really be blamed for), to give an uplifting and kind word to Michele and raise his spirits, and the way you captured and described it, was perfection.
Loved 16:02 to 21:30. I wish I could watch more recaps of ANY game like that.
Man I love seeing and hearing about those beautiful little sports moments you guys highlight in the middle of these traumatic histories.
Dear Jon, Alex, and Lindley,
I stopped in the middle of Steve Bartkowski's rebound while I was watching on my back porch at 3 am. I was smoking fat rips to this video when a fox came up to me in the rain storm, probably for my medical flower. I drove it off by taking a picture, though it didn't turn out great. If you'd like, I can personally email you this picture if desired. Anyway, I feel like this is a sign of good fortune for you and the video series. I really love your work.
Yes.
That ATL-Phi segment was pure magic
23:48 my favorite part of the series hands down
That was insane! (sorry... 1 year too little too late)
"The two emotions of football are sad and mad."
As someone who does not know anything about football people, the amount of suspense you have put in me for the next episode by using the same song for this guy as you did for introducing Ichiro Suzuki in the Mariners series is incredible
Well sanders is the only player to play in a super bowl and a world series
I will elways LOVE those Red Falcons jerseys.
12:48
"Although he went undrafted out of Nazareth" had me rolling 🤣
I can’t tell if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that I know the best part of my day will be when these videos come out
That commentary of the playoff game against the eagles is something of pure bliss
I come back to this series around once a month… It’s so fire
