MustangSteve Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It was a pure miricle the 49ers were even in the game. They took free piggy back rides on our recievers all day and only got called once for it, and 3 missed field goals by Mosely. That was a game where by all means could and should have been another blow out by the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So funny. On my way home today my mother calls me and tells me she's watching it, but didn't remember what even happened in the game, not to mention who even won! I told her about how I had to go to work at halftime, checked what the score was on one of those call-in numbers when it was 21-0, and then checked back and it was 21-21, in a full-blown panic, and called my mom just as Moseley was lining up for the GWFG. She's like "How do you remember all this stuff?" How do you NOT remember it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Q: How is ['83 49ers] formed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It was a pretty sloppy game as I recall. Niners could have won it but it would have been because we gave it away. Refs were bad and Moseley was downright scary. I didn't have a real good feeling about Super Bowl XVIII after we won simply because we didn't win convincingly.

Pimpey42000 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 A 49ers friend of mine continuing on about who he used to be a Redskins fan but since he didn't have the support of the Redskins he is stilla 9ers fan, the only thing I contend to is that 49ers were manufactured by the result of a great QB, Coach, and WR. How lucky is that? Otherwise, not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCMONEY Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The interference call towards the end I probably wouldn't have made the call but it was a correct call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanhillbilly Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Lets not forget that the 49rs played in a pretty crappy/weak division at the time. The NFC east was beating the crap out of each other week in and week out. The 49rs were able to come into the playoffs healthy where the giants, cowboys, redskins, and eagles were limping.

mcarey032 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have to give props to Joe Montana. He is probably the greatest QB I have ever seen play the game. He is an outstanding player and I don't think that their comeback was necessarily flukie. We had numerous penalties, especially on special teams. That one penalty on the return by Darrell Green for a touchdown that was called back was a heartbreaker for sure. The 49ers were a good team and they showed it the next year by waxing the Dolphins in the Super Bowl. I thought that we were going to win the Super Bowl by virtue of having beaten LA in the regular season, although we did have to comeback to beat them in that game. The Raiders just had our number and I feel that complacency set in and the Redskins were not ready for Super Bowl 18 like they should have been. I agree that if they had won that Super Bowl, that 83 team would certainly be in the top 5 Super Bowl teams of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Consigliere Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Who cries more, the '83 49ers, or a newborn baby? Keena Turner I think two issues are equally important. #1, it took Mosely having the worst game by a kicker in playoff history, and an unbelievable example of horrific officiating (you saw Art Monk get mad, in response, what does that tell you?) with the score at i think 21-14 in the 4th for the niners to even be in it. #2 If we clawed our way back, as the niners did, and then got hosed, as the niners did on those calls, we would have been incredibly pissed too. Part of me almost wishes we'd lost that game so I didnt have to suffer through XVIII, still the worst redskin experience of my life, particularly since i was born and raised in the bay even if the raiders had just moved.

The Consigliere Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Lets not forget that the 49rs played in a pretty crappy/weak division at the time. The NFC east was beating the crap out of each other week in and week out. The 49rs were able to come into the playoffs healthy where the giants, cowboys, redskins, and eagles were limping. I group in the bay, so i had more reason to hate the niners and there fans more than anyone on the planet back in the day and I have to call b.s. on this. I agree that the niners division was a joke. No doubt, depending upon what year it was, generally only one other team in their division at any given time was ever worth a damn, and usually they were wild card arse kicking fodder for any NFC East foe or Chicago come playoff time if by some miracle they made the playoffs. That being said. Back in those days the niners set the record for most consecutive road wins, consistently won at home and on the road against NFC East foes as well as the bears too. Indeed, their trips to the playoffs back in those included many an NFC East scalp. They beat up the Cowboys, and the redskins, and the bears in the playoffs, and the only team they struggled against were the giants (as much because of injuries to Montana, as anything else). Lastly those Niner teams (1981-1990) not only had the best coach, best QB, and best WR (for part of that run), they also had an extraordinarily good defense from 1981-1985, and from 1987-1994. Their '81, '83, and '84 defenses were terrifying, and they were absolutely crushing in 1989 and 1990 in terms of defense, and if not for an injury to Montana, and a Roger Craig fumble when they were running out the clock they would have threepeated. They get severely underrated by people because they and their bandwagon fans were annoying as hell, their coach was snarky and smart as hell, and they played in a crap division. Let there be no doubt though, that was if not the greatest team ever, damn close to it, particularly in 1984 (missed out on a perfect record by a flukey play/call in a 1 point loss), and 1989.

RFKFedEx Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 This is what happens when you try to block Albert Haynesworth. Your sig is very large. Also, Sloth would have played on the same side of the ball as Albert. His real name was John Matuszak and he was a star w/ the Oakland Raiders. :gap: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0560596/bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the Niner fanbase never grew to the national presence of the Cowboys, Steelers, or Packers, despite enjoying their dynasty in the color tv era. Of course the Niners have sucked for years and their fans are now in hiding like the Raiders, but they still didn't have nearly the numbers of those other four teams when they were winning. I've known Niner STHs and I tailgated at the Stick before the Skins game in 2004. I'd say the Niner faithful are probably the closest comparison to the Skins fanbase of anyone else in the league.

I agree that if they had won that Super Bowl, that 83 team would certainly be in the top 5 Super Bowl teams of all time. I forgot about the TD Green had, it was a legit TD too, really frustratring. The Niners went 15-1 in '84, and had the game in the bag except for a flukey late TD the steelers got. Forgot the particulars but i know there was something hinkey about it. The niners that year were 2nd in team offense (remember marino was insane that year), 1st in team defense, and 1st in fewest points allowed. And clowned their opponents in the playoffs. A really, really good team, and that was pre-Rice. The win against the Raiders in '83 was a bit hocus pocus, it took a rally to win it, and some great work from Joe Washington, and we were helped greatly by Marcus Allen being out for that game (considering he absolutely destroyed us in the bowl). 37-35 if i remember. Absolutely crushing, as that '83 redskins team was one of the best ever, just some fatal flaws on d, and they picked the absolute worst day to play their worst game of the year, and have their worst flukes of the year (blown extra point, blocked punt, flukey squirek td at end of first half, ridiculous miracle run for TD because Green fell down or was knocked out of the play, and several players didnt wrap and got worked), while the Raiders had their best game of the year.

I am not familiar with the presence of the Steelers. THere is no presence on the west coast. Do they really have a fan base outside PA? The Cowboys definitely do, band wagoners extraordinaire, as did the raiders until their inherent horridness ruined their marketability, the packers im not sold on either. There were favre fans, but i always thought the teams that really expanded outside their home base in the eighties and 90's (and maybe seventies) were the Cowboys, Raiders (until this decade), Niners, and Bears. I was at that Niner game in '94 too. The current niner fanbase is diehard. Horrible ownership and suck for a decade (nearly our own story), and the only fans left are diehards, but in the eighties there were an absolute ton of bandwagon fans, the team had no fanbase when the miracle run started because the embarrasing 70's (from about '73-'80) just destroyed it.

redshirtguy#45 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 in ny in the 80/90s there were lots of bear and 49r fans roaming about. some of them stuck with the 49rs to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 49er teams were much more then one or two players. They were very solid and well coached all the way around. That said, it was a mess of a game and the officials did not have a good day. We won but it could have gone either way. Why are we looking back at this particular game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFKFedEx Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Why are we looking back at this particular game? Because it airs on the NFLN almost as often as the 1992 NFCCG which was Dallas at the Niners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
