Watching this on NFLN right now and boy oh boy does it sting. It stings so badly because so much of the focus of this episode is on the 1994 NFC Championship game, and the Week 11 win at Dallas the following year. Watching all these Cowboys pouring it out on TV...convinced that they were finally the inferior team....it stings because we HAD them.
After all those years of back and forth it was going to be San Francisco coming out on top. It was going to be the 49ers who go on to three-peat and become the team of the 90s. Everything had finally fallen into place.
....and then Brett Favre happened. Some way, some how, Dallas could beat him...but we could not. I'm still at a loss, I've got nothing. The 1995 Packers...hell, even the 1996 Packers, and especially the 1997 Packers, were NOT better than the 49ers teams in any of those years. Still, that had that one guy at quarterback, and for some reason he had this spell on us.
It stings so bad knowing that we finally had it all, and that redneck s**thead had to come along and ruin it all. Ruined my afternoon, too.
He also ruined our 2009 season! It all went downhill after that miracle play.
I know it's blasphemy.. But after all those years of having favre kick our ass, and watching the packers fail in the following rounds, when it should have been us winning....
I like watching brett favre play now, I guess he is the last player who was great when i was still youngish.
The only games of farve I enjoyed is when we beat him. GB and NYJ.
