Stabler (178 of QUARTERBACKS 310 and 57.4 percent completions) and Bob Gnese (152 of 253 and 60.1 percent) present a standoff in coolness and fatherly protection from their linemen. Stabler's superior receivers and a hot summer hand (topping 60 percent of his completions) give tarn the passing edge. Griese has no rival in reading defenses or operating the running game.

But Shula has a way of plugging holes games Agam the Raiders are being touted like Forego in a claiming race.
