@@danielsoto8601 I was shocked when I heard that Rice was a Raider I thought he was going to be a Niner for life (at least until he retired in 06 or 07) C’est La Vie. Things happen. 🤷♂️
1:18:49 That's why I miss Matt Millen as an announcer. I miss people like him who was not afraid to get nasty on bad plays or bad officiating and tell it like it is. He and Dan Dierdorf. 49ers got two gifts, one the previous week and one this week. Not surprising that replay was brought back the following year.

RW MCquarters was one of the stupidest players in history..lost the regular season meeting against ATL and contributed to the loss here w/ that moronic backwards kickoff return.
To this day I don’t think Steve Young gets enough credit for carrying some of these late 90s 49er teams. There was a massive discrepancy in talent from their late 80s - early 90s teams. No Ronnie Lott, Charles Haley, Eric Wright, Roger Craig, John Taylor. Rice was on the downside of his career, T.O. Wasn’t T.O. yet and they had no running game outside of Garrison Hearst to go along with a painfully slow defense of aging players. They literally looked like an expansion team after Young retired
Disappointing 49ers team for that era. They played mediocre in the second half of the year and “only” made it to the divisional round. As a Niner fan we would give almost anything to have a team like this now.
The '98 Vikes were far better but they had a bad fumble before half time and bad missed FG at the tail end of the 4th quarter when they played Atlanta in the NFC title game.... Otherwise the Vikes win.
Good running game from J. Anderson and some playmakers on defense. Would be a 10-6 team in a normal year, but had some really bad Panthers, Saints, and Rams teams to feast on. Only tough matchups all year were SF (1-1) and NYJ (L) until the playoffs, one of the easiest schedules you'll ever see.
@@jackjohnson5714 what you just said reminds me of the 00 ravens defense. For the most part of that season they played some bad QBs but i do believe they're the best run defense of all time
I'm diehard niner fan but tht should have been Minnesota yr..Hated seeing the falcons get in there...We didn't lose Hearst we would have won..Took Hearst two full yrs to get back on the field...
1:14:36 the blown call that cost the Falcons a TD. Even Matt Millen was heated over that blown call at the 1:18:25 mark. The refs did everything in their power to give that game to the 49ers.
Of course Chris Collinsworth was the only one saying the call was good. Not sure what he had against the Falcons but he always trashed then no matter what.
Nah, I think the 2016 team was better. They should have won that SB. They were never in the SB game with Denver. The 2016 dominated in the playoff games especially the NFC Championship against the Packers.
This Niner team was all steve young. They would have been 4-12 without him that year. Hearst was amazing that year 2 but other than that the team was mediocre with a declining rice. Their defense and special teams were complete trash.
I'll never forget watching this one in Athens, GA on a Saturday afternoon. My roommate was at work so I was watching alone. At that time, the Falcons were the 49ers bitch LoL. But we exorcised the demons that day on our incredible march to the Super Bowl, which we lost to Denver😭
I live in Chicago and I flew down for it Friday night. There was a huge snowstorm in Chicago and our DC-10 plane was delayed for hours. I think I arrived at the ATL hotel at like 4a ET. The win made it all worth it. :)
I remember being in 6th grade living in Germany at the time and I was just crushed as a 9ers fan watching this game. Only to be more crushed when Young retired the next year after that Aeneas Williams hit
niners deserved to win this game. they were the better team. garrison Hearst just injured himself and they had no running game besides young. I hated the falcons this year and still do..
@@nickdobson1959 falcons were a fluke ass team. vikings were born losers come playoff time. niners should have beat atl & could have beat the vikes in a shootout
Steve Young's final playoff game with the 49ers as he would retire after `the 1999 season. R.I.P Dan Reeves and Chris Doleman.
Steve Young should've of stayed with the 49ers till at least 2010!

Who's here because Jon and Alex wouldn't show the clip in the Falcons' Dorktown series?
Me. I can't blame them. It is pretty gruesome.

Steve Young was the Aaron Rodgers of the 90's and vice versa. Great stats, multi MVPs, but only one Super Bowl win.
RIP Dan Reeves

Yikes
Niners Vs Vikings would have been an interesting game...Sad this was the real end of Youngs HOF career...he had an amazing year!
That lateral pass called down by contact was one of the most pathetic calls I’ve ever seen

This team was actually pretty talented
What do you mean? This was a fantastic team
Wendy's chili was 99 cents now its $4.00
I completely forgot how Matt Millen, before he ruined the Lions, was a ripoff of John Madden.
Astroturf… carpet over concrete.
The astroturf back then should've been outlawed

Atlanta should have that fumble
Of course Chris Collinsworth was the only one saying the call was good. Not sure what he had against the Falcons but he always trashed then no matter what.
JEFF GARCIA was an outstanding QB who bounced around far too much after he left the 49ers.
He should've never left the team.
God bless you for uploading this. Garrison Hearst goes down on the very first play. If he plays, Niners win.
Should've been 49ers-Vikings NFCCG
"You know why I'm here."
Garrison Hearst's injury would keep him out the following two seasons. Hearst didn't return until 2001.
I was two years when this game happen
mooch's offense was run,run, short pass i could ever understand his hype
Back to back 49ers didn't have Hearst smh
ahhhhh i remains football used to be football
The. Best. Atlanta. Falcon. Team. Every. Great. Memory
Nah, I think the 2016 team was better. They should have won that SB. They were never in the SB game with Denver. The 2016 dominated in the playoff games especially the NFC Championship against the Packers.
I'm surprise Pat Summerall & John Madden didn't color commentary this game.
This Niner team was all steve young. They would have been 4-12 without him that year. Hearst was amazing that year 2 but other than that the team was mediocre with a declining rice. Their defense and special teams were complete trash.
It's been a long time but this was a great team and a great game. Atlanta had a good defense and Jammal Anderson was a great Running back
As a packers fan it makes me mad we weren't in this game, would of had a chance of pulling off the upset...

Hearst, Purdy, 49ers cursed
Without Steve Young, this 49er team goes 4-12, which they were the following year when he went down for good. Last great 49er QB
Steve Young had no time to do anything. Just one of those games where you can never get comfortable in the pocket from snap 1
I remember being in 6th grade living in Germany at the time and I was just crushed as a 9ers fan watching this game. Only to be more crushed when Young retired the next year after that Aeneas Williams hit

Nah. That Falcons team was just better that year. 14 wins. Beat the Niners. Then upset the Vikings on the road.
As a vikings fan credit to the falcons they showed alot of.guts in the nfc championship.game
@@thedailytalon9259 nope. they split the series & ATL barely won the 2nd reg season game. had garrison stayed in the game they win.
niners would have won just a game less than ATL but barely lost a meaningless late season game to the pats.

i cant believe atl beat the 49ers and vikings. i remember them and even then i said they were nobody's just getting lucky
I was at this game. I was at all the Falcons home games that season. Didn't see them lose once in the dome. Too bad they eventually choked in the SB
