Gregz0r I love the pre-salary cap and pre-free agency era, when teams had to draft well but were allowed to keep their talent despite the high price. Now it's watered down mediocrity but hey it makes my Patriots win because all the other teams usually suck.
shortstackJMD96 Warren Moon is o ways considered one of the greatest black QB'S in NFL history. He's underrated as a player as a whole, but not as a black player.
Matt Law what about the late 60's and 70's vikings? I agree though, my heart breaks for the bills. They should have at least won one Superbowl. Same with my vikings...
The Bills had the most overrated coach in NFL history-Marv Levy--the Bills won because of the team GM Bill Polian assembled--it had nothing to do with Levy---I have always believed that if Chuck Knox had had the personnel that had been handed to Levy--the Bills would have won many Super Bowls
TreyBear True. The Bills were great, but not the most stout team defensively, which was more of a problem against the physically powerful offensive lines they faced in the Super Bowls than the 49ers.
This was my perfect SB. I love both teams and we came so close. To think, if the 49ers had held up their end during the Bills run, we have had this match up. Oh well, we have this instead.
This was the best regular season game that I ever saw. My college roommate and I had come home from brunch and watched it and we were mesmerized the whole time. Thanks for posting.
I covered this game as a stringer/reporter for the long defunct 1st national radio network 'SportsFinal' out of Boston...I wish that I had my post game interviews still I'd try to find a way to attach it to this coverage...classic game!
I remember watching and hoping we didn’t get blown out. And at the end before the drive started I was thinking hold them to a FG. Neither team could completely stop the other without a turnover.
Now this was one hell of a ballgame. Don't know why these guys took the trouble to upload last year's lame KC-Houston playoff game, but this one was a great battle and I'm happy it's on TH-cam. Two great offenses/QBs duking it out
One would assume that there was absolutely no defense in this game, but both of them were actually quite decent. Lots of big hits and three takeaways each. What an exciting game this was. I remember it vividly.
Well, I said the defenses were decent, not great, which is a statement i stand by. 1100 yards, no punts, and the score was only 34-31. High score, but nowhere near what the outrageous production would indicate. The D's did show up.
Sometimes both defenses play well, but the opposing offenses play even better. Sometimes it happens dot both teams. Sometimes in the same game. All that happened on this one, doing sufficient damage to each’s defensive stats to make both look more mundane after 16 games than they really wear in most of the other 15.
Steve Young's QB rating: 96.8 Ken Stabler's QB rating: 75.3 The highest among QBs who threw over 1,500 passes at the time of his retirement. And he own the 4th QB rating of all time.
Max Heinem except he was the reason they lost a few of them. He had like 6 turnovers in one game against the Cowboys. 5 pro bowlers on defense 3 offensive lineman and 3 pro bowl receiving options. Kelly was overrated but the Bills were a stacked team.
The Bills started their run of SB appearances in 1990 and ended it in 1993. The 49ers played in the SB in 1989 and 1994. They were that close to meeting for the title.

Crazy that they didn't meet in the SB with them combining for 11 conference title appearances in a seven year span from 1988-1994. Especially since they were both in those title games in 1988, 1990, 1992, and 1993.
There were no punts in this game if I remember. How many Pro Bowlers are there in this game? They're up and down the rosters. You can't build teams like this in the era of free agency.
Yeah that sucks man I hate this salary cap and free agency era, especially with expansion and players retiring early now because of head injuries. I'd rather see 6 great teams than see 25 bad ones and 6-7 okay ones. Bills 49ers Cowboys Redskins Giants were all stacked. Oilers were really good too with like 9 pro bowlers at one point (Moon, Munchak, Matthews, White, Slaughter, Childress, Fuller to name a few).
I remember not seeing this game. I'm in the Dallas Fort Worth area and remember being really pissed off because they aired the Houston Oilers game or some other wack game and not this one. I knew this was going to be a great game and it was. But guess what... I get to watch it now! Thanks for posting
Sometimes I wonder if I was plopped in the early 90's what team I would have been a fan of without any outside bias. I could easily see the Bills being that team.
My two teams are/ were The Buffalo Bills (my home town) and The S.F. 49ers. Between 1989 and 1996, either The Bills or The 49ers played in 7 Superbowls in a row, but never against each other. The Bills during this period, owned The NFC during The regular season, 17-0! I got a ticket for this game from a friend, and had a good seat, near the field by the 9ers bench. I could see Montana and Young on sidelines, both suited up. Unbelievable game! Only game in football history that neither team punted the ball. This was my Wish Super Bowl. Niners were in field goal range to tie it. Over 1000 yards of offense. Young had 1st down inside the 30 . Plenty of time! 24 to 13 at halftime for 9ers. 1:08 left and 2 times out. 46 yard punt to tie it. Missed it! Wide right! Bills win in San Francisco! During the Bills 4 Superbowls in a row, for two years, they were Wild Card team. Norwood! Should have hit that field goal against The NY Giants. Buffalo,mstill to this day, has never won any World Championship. Talk about Cleveland; talk about The Red Sox, or the Astros. How about NEVER won a World Champ. Never.
Hard being a Bills fan. Remember, the only member of The Bills in the Pro-Football Hall of Fame was……OJSimpson. And to make it to 4 Superbowls in a row, and lose all 4…heartbreaking. I’m still not over it. If only Norwood would have made that 3 pointer against The NY Giants…
Lastly, Bills vs. Niners- only game in football history, still to this day, where neither team punted the ball. Incredible game to be a Bills fan, in SF!
This is amazing, but one complaint. I'm surprised the NFL didn't take care of the video tape for this game. That's why the video quality is poor because they didn't take good care of the video tape.
It was a great game. With two of my favorite Qbs (Steve Young & Jim Kelly) , for a moment I thought it would be a superbowl preview I would have loved to seeing it but unfortunately this was the close enough as it got to a superbowl
Biggest mistake NFL has made on rules: changing them to try and have all games have offence like this. They forgot that this is entertaining only when both offences are this good and play this well.
Although they were relatively weak against the pass, the 49ers nevertheless had a reasonably good defense in '92 -- particularly in terms of points allowed. So for Buffalo to move the ball up and down the field against them virtually at will must have been a huge wake-up call to the 49er coaching staff. Is it safe to assume that the Cowboy coaching staff studied this game in order to learn what *not* to do when defending against the Bills' offense?
These 2 teams really mirrored each other... Kelly: 22/43 403 yards 3TD 1INT Young: 26/37 449 yards 3TD 1 INT Both teams had 2 100 yard receivers. The X-factor in this game was probably Thurman Thomas. 85 yards rushing 1 TD and 94 yards receiving 1 TD. Losing Rice early didnt help the 9ers. Overall a game for the ages! Shame these 2 teams never played each other for a Chip....
49ers also lost Brent Jones very early in the 1st quarter. Backup wide receivers Mike Sherrard and Odessa Turner had to step up, and did. Terrific game.
I think the best part about this matchup was niether one of them (Jim Kelly and Steve Young) were the best players on their teams. The 49ers and Bills were stacked with talent. I'd say Rice was better player than anyone on this field, followed by Bruce Smith, and then Thurman Thomas, the real offensive leader and MVP of Bills offense.
I think Jim K is generally rated and thought of where and how he should be .. a very productive and talented QB, with no rings… ditto for Moon. In the HOF, so … certainly been recognized for his talents
Not sure why Haley and Lott got traded during that off season prior to 92, but they weren't the same contenders after this season. And in 94 they had no long term contracts to build on the franchise legacy. The Niners just completely collapsed and never been the same
What i didn't remember was the irony of them winning that game because the other team's FG kicker missed a 47 yarder, WIDE RIGHT! Good God they were a fun team to watch.
Debió de ser este partido el super bowl no pieles rojas , no contra vaqueros, bills vs san francisco dieron un juegazo, pieles rojas y vaqueros son equipos malísimos
Had San Francisco beat the Cowboys, this would of been the Super Bowl matchup at the end of this season. The 49ers would’ve been the home team, so the same uniforms would have been worn again. The red and gold of SF against the all-whites of Buffalo under the SoCal sun in the Roses Bowl would of been a nice visual.
The Buffalo Bills would have won at least one of those Super Bowls if Walt Corey was NOT their defensive coordinator! His defenses were always way too soft!
MR TnT DYNaMITE no excuse for the offense. The K-GUN is one of the very best along with the Chargers of Dan Fouts, the greatest show on turf of Kurt Warner...
@@CallAnExorcist_1 ironically these Bills teams never played the Chargers in a regular season game during this era but you are right those three teams had the best offenses in nfl history
Montana still played really well for the Chiefs but he was brittle and everyone knew it. The Niners used to let go of famous players past their prime to bring in new talent back then (Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice being other obvious examples).
@@tomd1434 Who told you that? Montana injured his elbow in practice during the 1991 pre-season and had to have elbow surgery and why he missed all of the 91 and 92 season except for the 2nd half of the last reg season game in 92 he played.
Kinda wish this were the Super Bowl that year. '92 49ers may have been one of the top five teams of the '90s that DIDN'T reach the Super Bowl. They might've been just as deserving as the '98 Vikings.
After all of that offense from both teams, how fitting that the Bills win on a field goal missed wide right. I'm looking forward to another decade where both of these clubs are the best in their conferences, but let's hope we finally see them meet in the Superbowl this time around.
I was two years old that season. But this Is Not the Only no punt game In n.f.l history. It Has Happened four times sense the 2005 divisional round. How did anaylists conclude this as a super Bowl preview?
I mean forty niners just came off Joe Montana's dynasty and hopped onto Steve Young's and bills also had a dinasty going on with 4 Superbowls in a row but losing all of them and I know this was week 2 but they were pretty close I mean the bills went to the Superbowl and speed young got his first MVP
First NFL game I ever went to. One of the most memorable. And the incredible thing was all the yards the 49ers piled up w/o Jerry Rice for most of the game because he left in the 1st quarter w a concussion. But back in those days, the Niners could pretty much throw anyone out there as a WR and would still have success
Product Reviews That's because the 49ers thoughout the '80s and '90s had two of the most accurate QBs of all time operating an offense that was custom made for their skill sets. RIP Bill Walsh, the master (but not the inventor) of the short passing offense.
The NFL is WINNING on TH-cam! LOVING these classic games, from an era when I fell in love with the sport.
Gregz0r I love the pre-salary cap and pre-free agency era, when teams had to draft well but were allowed to keep their talent despite the high price.
Now it's watered down mediocrity but hey it makes my Patriots win because all the other teams usually suck.

Up to this and watching my childhood games.. came to the States in 1990 and these heroes made me fall in lUv to the sport
😎💪💯👍
Notice not a peep about political BS back then either.
scat back 4 ever !
I remember watching this game. It's one of the greatest games I've ever seen.
Steve Tasker is one special teamer who belongs in the nfl hall of fame
For Kelly and Young, this game was a rematch of their famous USFL match up, where they put up something like 800 total yards.
That's RIGHT!
I remember watching that game live. It was GREAT!!
The Houston Gamblers vs the LA Express in LA!!! What a game!
Jim Kelly is ARGUABLY the most underrated QB to ever play this game
Def Warren Moon

the first
he also has 0 Super bowl rings
New England Patriots #TomBradyistheGOAT rings don't measure greatness. But what do I expect? All Pats and Brady fans think rings are everything.
The 90's Bills, the greatest team to never win a Super Bowl. Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Steve Tasker etc.
Matt Law what about the late 60's and 70's vikings? I agree though, my heart breaks for the bills. They should have at least won one Superbowl. Same with my vikings...

I was a HUGE fan of this Bills team, one of my favorite games of all-time, so many HOFers in this game
the bills matched up so well with 9ers back then and it makes me wonder what if they met in 1 of those 4 SBs

True. The Bills were great, but not the most stout team defensively, which was more of a problem against the physically powerful offensive lines they faced in the Super Bowls than the 49ers.
The Dream super bowl match up that never happened.

Awesome memories!
This was the first game in NFL history to not have a single punt.
Bills did it again in 22
This might be one of the greatest regular season game in history, I can still remember watching it 28 years later
I remember watching and hoping we didn’t get blown out. And at the end before the drive started I was thinking hold them to a FG. Neither team could completely stop the other without a turnover.
these games being offered for free on the youtube? this is progress, baby
Now this was one hell of a ballgame. Don't know why these guys took the trouble to upload last year's lame KC-Houston playoff game, but this one was a great battle and I'm happy it's on TH-cam. Two great offenses/QBs duking it out

Behold, a good Buffalo Bills team
Must be the 90s
Well you have a good one now 😁
One would assume that there was absolutely no defense in this game, but both of them were actually quite decent. Lots of big hits and three takeaways each. What an exciting game this was. I remember it vividly.
It was a bit of both but watching Kelly throw 7 yard hook routes where the receiver is like 10 yards open kinda says otherwise
Well, I said the defenses were decent, not great, which is a statement i stand by. 1100 yards, no punts, and the score was only 34-31. High score, but nowhere near what the outrageous production would indicate. The D's did show up.

Steve = Best left handed QB of all time
true
+CervixSmasher69 Smith was better

The highest among QBs who threw over 1,500 passes at the time of his retirement. And he own the 4th QB rating of all time.
CarsonWentz#HolyGrail#BisonPride#AO1#Eagles#NDSU Steve sucks the only reason why the 49ers win because they still had rice
You can't really compare QB ratings of two different eras. The game was played differently in the 70s
Jim Kelly should have won a super bowl
Max Heinem except he was the reason they lost a few of them. He had like 6 turnovers in one game against the Cowboys. 5 pro bowlers on defense 3 offensive lineman and 3 pro bowl receiving options. Kelly was overrated but the Bills were a stacked team.
+Max Heinem For lack of a kicker he almost did.
Jim Kelly wasn't overrated. For example, he threw career 237 touchdowns to Troy Aikman's 165.
So should Dan Marino, and Dan Fouts.

Just missed it, on screen scoreboards started 2 years later in 1994
No punts all game. Incredible.
Only repeated a handful of times, all of them in the 2010s with the Packers doing it twice against the Bears and the Saints in 2014.
Cofer the choker strikes again. He kept S.F. out of 91 playoffs single handedly.
Crazy that they didn't meet in the SB with them combining for 11 conference title appearances in a seven year span from 1988-1994. Especially since they were both in those title games in 1988, 1990, 1992, and 1993.

Oh this was a dandy. I was 8 then. I remember this game clear as day
Growing up I hated Mike Cofer so much.
Cofer was the 49ers achilles heel
Nfl channel needs to make every single game available. Like week 16 Monday night football 1997 49ers vs Broncos...ect
Appreciate this one guys. This one's an instant classic of its day trust me!
Sometimes I wonder if I was plopped in the early 90's what team I would have been a fan of without any outside bias. I could easily see the Bills being that team.
I was at this game. What a back and forth game. I remember what a great environment this was. It was awesome to see so many other Buffalo fans there.

'92 young had a monster year, capped off by a unanimous mvp. he was the man at that moment.
Just A Black Atheist it's a shame he couldn't hold onto the ball in the superbowls they'd have won them
Thurman is the most underrated RB in NFL history . Even with the gold jacket , he deserves more respect , incredible , once in a decade talent

FOR GOD SAKES.... post the GOD DAMN 1994 NFC Championship between the 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys
I think Jim K is generally rated and thought of where and how he should be .. a very productive and talented QB, with no rings… ditto for Moon.
In the HOF, so … certainly been recognized for his talents
I remember watching this - great game. They played that song "Unbelievable" in NBC's intro to it. And it was.
Member candlestick park?
I member!
need more member berries to member
Please show 49ers vs Cowboys NFC Championship matchups from the 90s. I believe they met three times
Member Montana to Rice........I Member!
what a shtt hole
Not sure why Haley and Lott got traded during that off season prior to 92, but they weren't the same contenders after this season. And in 94 they had no long term contracts to build on the franchise legacy. The Niners just completely collapsed and never been the same
What i didn't remember was the irony of them winning that game because the other team's FG kicker missed a 47 yarder, WIDE RIGHT! Good God they were a fun team to watch.
Debió de ser este partido el super bowl no pieles rojas , no contra vaqueros, bills vs san francisco dieron un juegazo, pieles rojas y vaqueros son equipos malísimos
Early season games in multipurpose stadiums: guys must have hated playing on those infields.
Some people love to watch old movies.
I love watching old football games. 👍
Hey NFL how about you show the Marv Levy Bills some more love and upload all they're classic games and AFC championship wins
Had San Francisco beat the Cowboys, this would of been the Super Bowl matchup at the end of this season. The 49ers would’ve been the home team, so the same uniforms would have been worn again. The red and gold of SF against the all-whites of Buffalo under the SoCal sun in the Roses Bowl would of been a nice visual.
This should have been a Superbowl!!
Why? SF allowed Buffalo to score 34. Dallas in the Super Bowl allowed 17.
Awesome double upload! Much better game than the initial one!!!
(Still want Super Bowl 32 next Tuesday please!)
Corey sucked as DC... The second superbowl ..dude didnt make any adjustment
Great post!!!!!!!
The Buffalo Bills would have won at least one of those Super Bowls if Walt Corey was NOT their defensive coordinator! His defenses were always way too soft!
And the excuse for the offensive failure is...
MR TnT DYNaMITE no excuse for the offense. The K-GUN is one of the very best along with the Chargers of Dan Fouts, the greatest show on turf of Kurt Warner...
@@CallAnExorcist_1 ironically these Bills teams never played the Chargers in a regular season game during this era but you are right those three teams had the best offenses in nfl history
i see why montana never got his job back
That hit by Leanord marshal took a couple years to heal.
Montana still played really well for the Chiefs but he was brittle and everyone knew it. The Niners used to let go of famous players past their prime to bring in new talent back then (Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice being other obvious examples).
@@tomd1434
Who told you that? Montana injured his elbow in practice during the 1991 pre-season and had to have elbow surgery and why he missed all of the 91 and 92 season except for the 2nd half of the last reg season game in 92 he played.
jim Kelly tough
2:06:12 Bengals @ Packers. The start of the Brett Favre era
If Tecmo Bowl had lifelike graphics... it'd look like this game.
Lmao and this is the sharp definition version ,can only imagine how bad it was then
Kinda wish this were the Super Bowl that year. '92 49ers may have been one of the top five teams of the '90s that DIDN'T reach the Super Bowl. They might've been just as deserving as the '98 Vikings.
After all of that offense from both teams, how fitting that the Bills win on a field goal missed wide right.
I'm looking forward to another decade where both of these clubs are the best in their conferences, but let's hope we finally see them meet in the Superbowl this time around.
what a great game this was
i have a question do you like the cowboys.
I know it didn't happen but I would of enjoyed a Superbowl between these 2 teams
best qb ever
Tom Brady
+Beast agreed
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kelly
Forever Young !
I miss the old announcers. No political stunts from the players. Just football. Great Sunday memories.
I was two years old that season. But this Is Not the Only no punt game In n.f.l history. It Has Happened four times sense the 2005 divisional round. How did anaylists conclude this as a super Bowl preview?
I mean forty niners just came off Joe Montana's dynasty and hopped onto Steve Young's and bills also had a dinasty going on with 4 Superbowls in a row but losing all of them and I know this was week 2 but they were pretty close I mean the bills went to the Superbowl and speed young got his first MVP
@@runt6532 the week two point Is what throws Me Off.
i have a feeling that young is the most hit qb in nfl history, even without the ball he still takes hits, he had a lot of concussion anyway.
Two of my favorite qbs
My mvp Steve young n bad ass jim kelly
Agreed ronbos..kelly and young my faves along with moon
Two rare occurrences a regular season game between the Buffalo Bills and the 49ers and a Jerry Rice concussion wow this a treat.
Watching this game I feel like some french fries 🍟 and some beer batter chicken nuggets!
I was at this game...thanks for the upload
Ed Sandoval we also attended that game one weird thing about our tickets was that they read game 3 and it was only the second game of that season.
What a great game! I wish it was the Super Bowl back then!
These Bills away uniforms really popped under some sunshine.
Mate odoms was the most underrated cb ever
Clowers Hiball and Chris Dishman.
Thats Nate
At 1:31:01 - Forced fumble at the 2 yard line. Not a touchdown.
That was a great game I remember that game like yesterday Big Time shootout
Thomas was a beast ,very underrated
First NFL game I ever went to. One of the most memorable. And the incredible thing was all the yards the 49ers piled up w/o Jerry Rice for most of the game because he left in the 1st quarter w a concussion. But back in those days, the Niners could pretty much throw anyone out there as a WR and would still have success
Product Reviews That's because the 49ers thoughout the '80s and '90s had two of the most accurate QBs of all time operating an offense that was custom made for their skill sets. RIP Bill Walsh, the master (but not the inventor) of the short passing offense.
Classic game
