This game has the been the toughest loss I've ever experienced (worse than the NFC Championship losses in the 90s) because WE WERE THE BETTER TEAM and I can't help but cringe every time I think of the words "forward progress."

The only solace I can find is that the experience created a monster called the 2012 San Francisco 49ers, an entity so dangerous that even your mother feels the hits they deliver. Many of the past 49er championships occurred after a brutal losses in the playoffs the year prior that caused the team to get very serious and very angry. '84 might have never happened if they hadn't lost to a inferior Redskins team in the NFCCG in '83. The '87 loss to the Vikings might have spawned 2 championships as a result, Walsh said that was the worst loss he'd ever experienced and contemplated retirement after it.
The fact that the team knows they should have won it all creates a real pissed off hunger that I believe will amplify what a great team they already are, now they are playing with a purpose, to avenge that awful experience. You think it sucked being a fan, how do you think they feel about it? Trent Baalke even said he refuses to ever watch that game again.

Originally posted by Youngb:Holy s**t dude. That was our freaking game! We should be superbowl champs. We dominated. Eli Manning threw a few up for grabs and we dropped a few interceptions. Kyle Williams fumbles twice. They have that b******t instant forward progress call where Bradshaw really fumbled. Just eliminate one of those things and we win that game and are superbowl champs right now. Giants got so damn lucky, it's pathetic. The second time they robbed us out of a ring! The Roger Craig fumble was b******t too! Why'd I watch this s**t dammit!
If you really want to watch it, I know of a 23 minute highlight vid. I'll link it.
I just watched itI don't recommend anyone else hitting that play button.
Originally posted by WRATHman44:OUCH! One thing is for sure, you NEVER for get that moment, I've had a couple like that too.
My junior year in college, I ran a drag route from TE, and the opposite side OLB took out my knee while I made the catch. Total cheapshot. He went through the knee like a hot knife through butter, tearing the ACL, MCL, PCL (partial), and joint capsule, while damaging the cartilage. The leg caved in so bad that the bones bruised each other on the opposite side and my foot hit me in the side of the hip.
I have watched the replay of that injury dozens of times.
I will not be re-watching this game.![]()

Originally posted by KowboyKiller:^this....Afterwatching this highlight clip, I realized Kyle Williams can be a legitamite return weapon....he is so damn fast after his first cut and looks to me like he has excellent downfield vision. These things combined with the "hunger" from the loss, we could have a really dangerous WR/KR.
