Hard to believe Favre never got back to the Super Bowl after this. Everyone thought this was the real Super Bowl but my Broncos showed up 2 weeks later.
Favre was never the same after Holmgren left. All the idiots who said that Holmgren was overrated were quickly proved wrong.
Randy moss showed up and everyone of the stars in GB faded
I am a 69-year-old Packer fan, and it is easy to believe. Come the playoffs, he threw interceptions too often.
RIP Mr. Madden :(
You could tell the Packers game plan was to throw early and attack the 49ers CBs and it worked, it never felt like the 49ers were in this game
Niners couldn't beat the Packers. This game definitely hurt watching a young kid. As good at the 49ers where for nearly two decades they sure lost a lot of games in the playoffs at home.
The Pack's last NFC Title game appearance until 2007. This would be San Fran's last Title game appearance until 2011. This game also marked the beginning of the Niners' decline.
And then the garbage franchise loses ANOTHER NFC Championship game to the Eagles?
@@edwardfights4900 garbage franchise are you talking about New Jersey Giants🤣
@@edwardfights4900 didn’t the Eagles beat the shit out of the Giants in the Divisional playoff🤣
I’d say the decline was after the next year. Garrison Hurst blowing his knee out in the playoffs against the falcons and then Young concussion issue.
And then the Packers decline starting a couple of weeks later against the Broncos. The Packers weren’t dominant anymore. They had some success in the early 2000s but didn’t come close for a while.
NFC was so dominant in the 90’s outside of those 2 Denver runs…
I Miss these Packer teams of the 90s, we seemed unstoppable back then and going into a game as a fan we had confidence knowing the Pack would handle business. This was the last year that we would dominate the 9ers in the playoffs (3yrs in a row). The year after we would face this same team in SF and a last min TO catch for the win, would end our reign in this decade and we were never the same after that. Fast forward to present day and it looks like the 9ers have gotten their Vengeance on us and then some.......how the tables have turned!
Yeah but it doesn't hit the same we could never beat that Packers team. Completely different players and different eras. For whatever reason that niners just could not match up well with the 90s Packers. My lean is towards coaching and just slightly better players in key positions that neutralized any advantage 49ers had. We had throttled the broncos earlier that year and feel we could have beaten them 😂. Sometimes football can be a little bit like boxing styles make fights and they could never figure out the packers. That last game was controversial don't really count it.
@@JoseDiaz-rd9fh Do you think SF would have beaten Denver in SB 32?
In the 90s we were owned by Dallas but destroyed the 49ers. Essentially ending their run at another dynasty. Now it’s flipped, we own Dallas but can’t get passed the 49ers. The good news is, the 49ers or the Cowboys can’t do anything either. So it’s a partial win.
When sf lost its 3rd straight playoff game to gb here they were so weak I never would’ve thought the franchise eventually have the lead in the playoff rivalry 5-4 (after winning @gb in the ‘21 season)
*6-4 now
Green Bay was to San Francisco at this point what San Francisco had been to Dallas in 1995 and what Dallas was to Green Bay in 1996...dominant. That was the triad of power in pro football in the mid 90's.
Yep. The Big 3 of the NFC. Dallas could beat San Fran and Green Bay. San Fran could beat Dallas and Green Bay, but Green Bay could only beat San Fran, and lost to Dallas 3 years in a row. All of them won a Super Bowl after beating one another.
@@justinturley7071 You just tried to say San Fran could beat Green Bay, but only Green Bay could beat San fran. Wtf are you talking about? The only time SF beat GB was the Owens catch. Outside of that GB smashed SF every single time.
This is definitely the best packer team that never one a super bowl and it is not even close . They got real cocky vs Denver who I think were 14 point dogs and Denver deserves all the credit in the world. But for Younger packer fans who think 2014 04 2021 or 2022 were bad this 1997 team makes them all look bad believe me they were as dominant in all three phases as a team could be.
It was a great team. Still baffles me how quickly they fell off after losing to Denver in the Superbowl. I thought that team would be in contention for several more years
We definitely got cocky. We went up 7-0 and I thought we would route the Broncos. Then the wheels came off. Hats off to Terrell Davis and John Elway. They earned it.
The 2011 team was also defending a Super Bowl title and went 15-1, but all things considered I'd still agree this team was better all around.
Holmgren leaving is what killed it. Also at least in 98 the Vikings were ridiculous.
@@drewdrewski4188 enter Ray Sherman 😡
This was one of those "not as close as the score" games - the Packers were dominant. Only some good redzone D by the 49ers kept this from being 31-3 instead of 23-10. There was no point where it felt like San Francisco was actually in it.
I remember being so pissed they got that dirtball touchdown on special teams. Even so, it was an awesome Monday at school. Just wished they took care of business against Denver.
As a 49ers fan we lost so many NFC championship games just imagine if we would’ve won most of them all the superbowls we could’ve won.
What I find interesting is that stylistically, the Packers were a much better matchup for Denver than San Francisco. I honestly think San Francisco whoops Denver in the Super Bowl if they had played. But much like 1995 with Dallas, Green Bay took 'em out before they had their chance.
Awesome editing. Thanks for the memories.
My pleasure!
I’m looking forward to seeing what are the next videos to come, so keep it coming.
Thanks for the upload.
Antonio Freeman came up big in these playoff games
Dear Favre, thank you
- a cowboys fan
P.s sorry for always beating you
As a Niner fan this was another heartbreaker. I thought that ‘97 team was a team of destiny but the Packers were still better as they proved this game.
But at least we got big payback demolishing cheese heads in 2020 nfc title game
Not having Garrison Hearst at full strength made Young have to throw too much in this game. Not having Jerry Rice was also problematic from an offensive standpoint. No one could cover or tackle Antonio Freeman (who not so elegantly labeled the 49ers “The Sunshine Boys”), making a dig at them as being a soft team. The ‘97 Niners team overachieved on defense, but just like the two years prior, faltered down the stretch.
Crazy how Brett Favre never made it back to another SB after 97
Not crazy at all. I am a 69-year-old Packer fan. Favre threw too many interceptions in the playoffs.
Man it seems to me sanfran never goes threw a rebuild period yeah they may have some off years but they never have really finished horribly. They seem to always be in the playoff superbowl hunt that's how you run a organization
Green bay was a great team who would come up short in their bid to repeat in what was a fantastic superbowl that seemed shocking. Denver was door matted in every sb they ever played in and that game seemed like a foregone conclusion. Terrell Davis and Denvers great oline manhandled the pack and made the GB defense literally quit.
Never understood why the packers were such a huge favorite. Denver matched up very well, and had a MUCH better running back. The result shouldnt have surprised anyone.
Not too many teams if any better than this Packer team to not win SB.
Miss this type of football look how dirty the uniforms are lol wish was that way now a days you never see that
I remember watching this as a die hard Niners fan back in the day. I was so depressed that the Niners just could not beat the Packers (even in the regular season too).
Fast forward to Harbaugh. The Packers could never beat Kaepernick and Harbaugh.
Fast forward to Shanahan and Jimmy G. The Packers could not beat Shanahan (they did in the regular season game at Levi’s, but not in the postseason).
It’s interesting how sports ebbs and flows throughout the years. I expect the Packers to have the Niners number in the future (we don’t know when though lol).
Yeah, it was weird. 49ers could beat the Cowboys, Cowboys could beat the Packers, Packers could beat the 49ers. 1990s rock-paper-scissors of the NFC.
The 2022 49ers got the same problem they 96 49ers had some weak db's and o line
Do you have footage of Toby Keith's national anthem performance from this game?
The Favre was so annoying to lose to always hopping around in celebration lol. The Niners as a franchise have definitely gotten there revenge now GB can’t beat them
Back in the 90s we couldn’t beat the Packers at all. Then 2012 came & well it’s been a different story since
John Williams REALLY???? WOOOOOW
Dorsey Levens 1st packer to score 100 yards on the 49ers 1997. flash forward 2024 Aaron Jones on schedule two head monster with quadzilla on deck 🇲🇽
Painful to watch. Not a Bill Walsh coached team when "Beating to the Punch" was emphasized.
I like that last touchdown by the Packers, you could see on that play that they had broken the 49ers' will that day. Then everyone celebrates while their white jerseys are covered in mud and you can hear someone shouting HELL YEAH BABY. Lombardi himself would shed a tear at how beautiful it was.
Aaron Rodgers himself is shedding lots and lots of tears.
Yeah Lombardi would shed a tear…until a couple weeks later when they choked the Super Bowl away. Then he’d just be upset.
This season the 49ers would probably beat everyone except this Packers team. They were our kryptonite for a few years there. Although that year felt like the 94 season again it was a little damping with the teams the Niners played that year. Also Jerry Rice was hurt so to win the championship that year would be bitter sweet. What I can say is that 49ers team was a bit overrated and the Packers showed that.
Man other than 94, Young did not come up big in the playoffs.
Troy Aikman & the Cowboys in 1992, 1993.
Brett Favre & the Packers in 1995, 1996, 1997.
The Dirty Birds (Atlanta Falcons) in 1998.
They prevented Steve Young and the 49ers from winning more Super Bowls.
Young crumbled in the Playoff losses. He look absolutely horrid in those games.
@@theicchamp06 Facts
@@MiguelJimenez-uc3yz It also didn't help that his o-line and defense were old and past there prime in '96, '97, and '98
So true. A-Rod today is in the same boat as Steve Young...had the one strong postseason but came up short in other postseasons.
If only Green Bay finished the job two weeks later.
Young blew a lot of big games
3com lol
The talent was equal the difference was always the coaching and The game plan. Brett favre with all his faults was way more of a gamer as well had way more functional mobility in the pocket.
Mike holmgren was a MUCH better coach than Mariucci.
10:00 look at that clown celebrating his TD in a losing game...and wasting time doing it
Just another game proving Steve Young was mediocre at best. Joe Montana's back up was really not that good.
The Forty Whiners lost a lot of NFC championship games.
They also won alot, and beat you to end the feud with the COWGIRLS in 94 👌🤡
@@skandalmkdaniel3029 Cause the Forty Whiners cheated.
Cheated the salary cap and got favorable calls from the referees. The no call on Deion helped the Whiners.
@@josecarranza7555 sounds like you're the whiner. And Just because the COWGIRLS weren't relevant since 1995 (the debut of Ps1) ain't my problem. And nah, didn't cheat a salary cap, otherwise would have been stopped. Deion took the minimum for a year, and loopholes don't mean cheating. Gotta study up on your laws bud.
@@skandalmkdaniel3029 Stay in denial.
@@josecarranza7555 that's all you got ????🤣🤣🤣 Thinking the Cowboys will ever win again. Now that's staying in denial 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This game should have made it obvious what an incompetent fraud Mariucci was.
Should have hired Sam Wyche.
