This is my favorite America’s game. Just listening to Ronnie Lott talk about this game we all love is amazing. I’m sure for the 49er fans that were around in 1981, this team will always be the most special. Because like Ronnie Lott said, this was before Joe Montana was Joe Montana and before the 49ers became a dynasty and the team of the 80’s. It was just a bunch of underdogs who defied the odds and went from worst to first. I’m a Tennessee football fan as well so hearing about Jack Reynolds, who was an amazing linebacker for Tennessee, was awesome lol. And yeah, he did cut a car in half after Tennessee lost to Archie Manning and Ole Miss 38-0 in 1969.
I became a 49er fan and 11 years old.The nineteen eighty one n f c championship game in super bowl sixteen started my journey as a forty nine fan for life
That Bill Walsh San Francisco 49ers offense - executed by Joe Montana is something 49ers fans will never forget. The Golden State Warriors 2015 NBA champions had similar mountainous obstacles to overcome. It was a pleasure to watch that GSW offense. I still remember Charles Barkley saying that a 'jump shooting team' can't win the Larry O'Brien trophy.
I was there, on January 10th, 1982. And I was dressed from head to toe in Cowboys merchandise.... On the way out of Candlestick Park, a jubilant 49ers fan pointed at me and said: "You'd better take that off, man!" Being only ten years old at the time, I was scared out of my mind. I thought we were gonna get lynched...
During Super Bowl 19 Frank Gifford kept referring to winning Super Bowl 16 without any running game at all I believe that Messrs. Patton, Cooper, HOFer and Elliott would take great issue with that statement.
The disrespect for Seifert is maddening to me. Even today, nobody talks about what a great coach he was. He crafted the #1 defense in league by 1984 and they were THE difference in this SB XVI win. They were #2 in 1982. 5 rings for Seifert. Most by anyone in SF history and anyone who says that the 1989 team wasn’t his doesn’t realize that that’s not true. They were.. Half of the team was under his direct control for literally a decade. All the love in the world for Bill but he wasn’t alone in rebuilding this team.
1981 that Week 5 Redskins loss to the 49ers was the turning point for Washington as well. They were 0-5...but went 20-4 in their next 24 games counting playoffs and won the following years Super Bowl!
I remember that team. They were winners. Joe Montana was a winner. All great players. There was one player that I kept noticing was punishing the opposing players. I started wondering, what is up with 42? I pitied the receivers that caught passes in his proximity. And it never stopped. If I felt apprehension viewing him from my couch, what did opposing players feel on the field. Those hits were massive, one after another and they never stopped.
Without that defense that was crafted by Seifert, they win exactly no SB’s in the 1980’s. Seifert really made their defense one to be feared for a decade.
“Just think about what that game is like if you take those six turnovers away”. It would’ve been more like the 45-14 win and ultimately more forgettable.
Um, there was nearly 5 minutes left with DAL leading by 5 points. Things have definitely changed but 5 minutes is not ever enough to feel safe with a 1-pint lead….and they were up by 5, so …..
24:07 Randy Cross: "You hear the analogy, oh, all the time...is given about a...you know, sort of a quiet killer or a quiet assassin..." Why does this sound so familiar? 😉
You could see that the 49ers were for real when they destroyed the Cowboys in the regular season. It sure as hell got the rest of the league to perk their ears up. After being the pushover in the division for almost 10 years and now the 49ers rise like the Phoenix. That season plus the NFC Championship changed the course for two teams. The 49ers who became the team of the 80's and the Cowboys that would decline hitting rock bottom in 1989 going 1-15.
I still can't believe the Bengals couldn't bust that one in. The had the biggest OL in the league, featuring Anthony Munoz. They were handing the ball to the gigantic Pete Johnson. And it's not like SF was known for its huge DL with 340 lbs. Somoans like you see now.
Nobody loves Randy Cross as much as Randy Cross . I’m his announcer career he couldn’t complete a game without referencing himself or the forty whiners several times.
This would be so much better without Ronnie Lott. He's trying too hard to be entertaining and profound with his comments, but he comes off as inauthentic. Dwight Clark on the other hand is very genuine and honest in describing his experiences with the 1981 team. RIP Dwight.
The 49ers Dynasty was the best in the SB years. It was an open secret the 70s steelers were on PEDs. No teams could match the 49ers until belicheat and the cheatriots won many SBs in the 21st century. But belicheat and his cheatriots were caught cheating many times. God knows what else the New England cheatriots did without being caught. Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Eric Wright, Dwight Hicks, etc. were the people behind the success of the 49ers. However, they were not the one major factor why the 49ers became the greatest football team in the Super Bowl Era. That one major factor belongs to the one and only one man, Eddie Debartolo.
@@markjackson5333 Bimbo named Sean. They dated four years until Dwight won the Superbowl so that she could leech off his glory, and tossed him to the side after..
Randy Cross was a great player, but his opinions of the NFC east are way off the mark. The Landry cowboys won 2 championships in 28 years. America's team was offered to the Steelers before the cowboys lapped it up.

Definitely the best America’s Game. Ronnie Lott sure makes this documentary awesome. A winner on & off the field.
Awesome memories Awesome decade for 49ers
As well as Mr. Davis who was traded to Detroit after SB16 but he was a beast and a load
I became a 49er fan and 11 years old.The nineteen eighty one n f c championship game in super bowl sixteen started my journey as a forty nine fan for life
RIP Dwight Clark! That team was special. It truly was a Cinderella team that became a dynasty!
This one never gets old. For us in SF at the time, it was a dream season we had never experienced before.
RIP DWIGHT ❤😢🎉
This Is It. I played that song in my car right before i took my boards in grad school, wearing a NY Giants shirt. Bte i passed. 😊😊😊 GOD bless. 🙏❤️🙏

That is unheard of in today's NFL drafting 3 consecutive DB's in one draft! My man calls Walsh the genius rightfully so.

Ronnie Lott is a true man, purified.
Thanks for posting this. NINERS!!!

The Niners defense gave up only 250 points in 1981. The previous season they allowed 415! Defense wins championships.

Niners were moving that ball all day.
cowboys were robbed!!! DREW PEARSON WAS HORSE COLLARD!!!!
Imagine thinking a game is over with a 1pt lead & a minute left. Boy times have really changed.
Um, there was nearly 5 minutes left with DAL leading by 5 points.
Things have definitely changed but 5 minutes is not ever enough to feel safe with a 1-pint lead….and they were up by 5, so …..
Bill Walsh said ten years is the maximum length a coach should stay. Sure enough, he retired after their third Super Bowl.
That’s wild. Imagine what he’d have done with just five more years.
It's called Sprint Right Option
The 49ers hadn’t won much of anything in their 36 year history but now said a fan San Francisco is number 1 in two things being weird and football
If Bill Walsh had stayed a few more years,probably 2 more Super Bowl Championships.Just my opinion.
They literally won 2 more after Walsh.
24:07 Randy Cross: "You hear the analogy, oh, all the time...is given about a...you know, sort of a quiet killer or a quiet assassin..."
Why does this sound so familiar? 😉
God help any man who incurred the wrath of Ronnie Lott

Good to see football when it was good now its more like WWE football league
Wow they came out of nowhere into a dynasty.
