2011: Week 1
49ers 33 - SEA 17

Something that would never happen again in the Harbaugh era happened in this game.

A kickoff return for a touchdown as Ted Ginn takes it 102 yards to the house.

49ers 33 - SEA 17

Something else that would never happen again in the Harbaugh era also happened in this game.

A punt return for a touchdown, as Ted Ginn takes it 55 yards to the house.


This is gonna be an awesome thread. I can't wait to "relive" the 2011 season, it will always be my favorite Harbs season. Just a note, be sure to show if available the would be missed 70 yard td in the baltimore game(Not the Ginn one called back on a bull s**t Chop Block). It was early in the game, we came out in a Split form and ran a PA Slide, Alex didn't see Delanie busting free and dumbed it off (note: this is not a knock on alex, I always liked him and I'm also very pro-Kap). It would have been a pretty big play if memory serves me.

I just realized if you take away those two returns by Ginn, Harbaugh's offense was held under 20 points 9 TIMES IN A ROW against the Seahawks. Wow.
I don't think this game is recognized in seattle, because they hadn't gone full retard with their clown outfit uniforms and don't have mini-me yet at QB so this game doesn't count Who am I kidding, this is 2011 half of seattle fans today didn't even know they had a team in the northwest.

Yeah that's the one you could Roman scream Delanie! On the NFL sound effects show...it was a one hour show.

That's when we first had confirmation that the play can go somewhere else....and it was not by design that we were hitting underneath stuff.

I loved the 2011 season...but i just hated that we were historically horrible at converting 3rd downs....or it seemed like it week after week.

I was a little harsh, I know it's a huge "Sounders" territory.

2011: Week 2
DAL 27 - 49ers 24 (OT)

The first TD pass in the Harbaugh offense.
DAL: cover 0 (7 man pressure)


With high pressure coming, Smith completes his dropback and targets Kyle Williams fade route on the backside.

I just looked that play up and DWalker would have had an easy TD. That's in week 12 so it'll be a few days till then.

Thats cool....What's funny is I have a pretty good eye and memory of the "Old School plays" we ran that year and that PA Slide always sticks out. Another one remember is I believe early second half of the Dallas game, we come out in a split and run a double screen but I think Ware blows it up. I also remember a "Scissors" type play out of either a Far/Near Twins set in the Detroit game. Just reminiscing about 2011, is putting me in a good mood.

2011 in my mind is all about the Philly comeback(That 30 yard td to Josh Morgan on a little Slant-Flat action and Justin saving the game with a strip) and the Divisional game vs NO. That 4th quarter was epic.

I saw the thread title and thought "oh s**t". Great idea and cant wait for it to unfold.

I have 1 request. Can the OP please post a breakdown w pics of the play from the playoff game against NO in '11, where Whitner blew up Pierre Thomas? A very standout moment in the harbaugh era imho. It would be greatly appreciated.

2011: Week 2
DAL 27 - 49ers 24 (OT)

Trailing by 3 points with two minutes left in the game, DAL would drive down the field and into FG range. With 50 seconds left, they would run a pitch play to WR Miles Austin who fumbles the ball.


Brock was unaware that Justin had forced a fumble. Had Brock been aware of the loose ball, it's game over. DAL would kick the game tying FG on the next play.
