Thanks for posting.
One thing that strikes me is how the on-field emotion of NFL players has changed in 45 years.
At the time, THIS was an All-time great Rams' victory for several reasons.
If you watch the 1979 Rams' players celebrate, THAT was Extreme Emotion for that time.
Now, it looks subdued compared to how players celebrate on the field in the current version of the NFL.
Sometimes I prefer a little more calmness in demeanor. Professionalism. Act like you have been there before. However, that's a reflection of my age, experience and the time period I grew-up in.
I think it's mostly a good and positive change.
Young men, exceptional athletes, playing and competing at the highest-level in the most popular (U.S.) sport. They should enjoy themselves and show their emotions.

A fake field goal with a few seconds while leading? McVay would have fired the ST coach on the sideline

Those Rams' teams often struggled with punts and field goals, especially in the playoffs.A fake field goal with a few seconds while leading? McVay would have fired the ST coach on the sideline
In the 1973 Divisional Round (in Dallas), place-kicker David Ray missed three FGAs.
In the 1976 Divisional Round (again, in Dallas), the Cowboys blocked two Rams' punts. Rather than punt at the end of the game, and leading by four points, the Rams took a safety.
In the 1976 NFC Championship, a short-FGA was blocked and returned 90+ yards for a Vikings' TD.
In this 1979 game, the last thing Rams' fans wanted to see was a kick attempt of any type. Leading by just two points, the Rams did not want to give Roger Staubach and the Cowboys two more plays; and figured a fake FGA would eat-up enough time to limit Dallas to just one play. Even a long Staubach completion would not allow time for a long, game-winning-FGA. Since the fake netted a first down, Dallas did not get even one snap.

I much prefer this celebration style to today's clowns all running to the endzone mimicking a photo op. And it isn't about "not letting them have fun."
To me this ending was big time fun knocking the Cowgirls off in Revenge for the shutout they handed us the year before and the follow up SNF big loss they gave us in the reg season.
(cough*Haden games* cough* trending down*cough).
Don't get me started on Gastineau's sack dances back in the day. Though I like Kolby's conductor routine.
BTW pretty sure this was swiped from my YT channel because I uploaded the very same sequence. It was a small piece of a VOD from the full game that I got in a digital game trade 7 years ago. Color is a little overkill on the contrast from maybe a 2nd or 3rd gen copy but decent clarity for that time. Could use a color enhancement from Volsky if he hasn't already done that.

I agree up to a point but I am 64; and I think my age/experience is a factor in that feeling and preference.I much prefer this celebration style to today's clowns all running to the endzone mimicking a photo op. And it isn't about "not letting them have fun."
May I ask how old you are? Just think it's relevant.
Agree 100% here.
Do you remember who the first (maybe only) player and opponent to physically take exception to a Gastineau sack-dance with a shove that resulted in an on-field-fight?

They were not going to risk a block on the FG attempt... they had been having trouble with that in recent games. Big Ray played it smart.
And... I fucking loved watching my man Nolan Cromwell almost single handedly convert on that fake FG.
I was at the game in Tampon the next week. My Grandfather surprised me.

Ugh, I remember the first time I saw him do that stupid sack dance and thinking Gastineau was a douche canoe. I'm 52, and yeah....I don't love over the top cellys...... Because as I just stated... Old.

Handing the ball to the ref after scoring like Barry Sanders and Cooper Kupp rather than showboating is the cooler and more unique celebration.
Like tatoos for young people:
i have nothing against them, think some look really cool and may get one myself at some point but Not having one is more unique than having them.

I just think they are supposed to make plays. Celebrating or flexing or taunting every time is done just so everyone knows it was you. Maybe I would have gotten paid more if I celebrated every time I accomplished the task I was being paid to do.
