They had our number in the 90s (95 NFC Div, 96 NFC Div, 97 NFCCG) but we've gotten a lot of revenge in the past 4 matchups vs Rodgers (The 2 Kaepernick/Harbaugh wins and now the 2 Kyle Shanahan wins). We also had that playoff loss in 2001-2002 @ GB with Jeff Garcia. That's the one that got away, we were driving for the winning TD and Garcia threw a pick on a deep pass to TO when he was open...just left it short.
If this last game in 2021-22 had propelled us to a SB win or even appearance, I would rank it above 2019 because there was more drama.
I actually find the 2019 Week 17 win @ Seattle as one of my favorite all time wins. Last game of the season, last play of the game, down to the 1 inch line. Just a fantastic end. It wasn't a playoff game but really it meant the 1st round bye and #1 seed.
I posted this in the veteran forum:
I could rattle off about 10 heartbreaking losses in my life as a 49er fan...
1. 2019 SB loss vs KC
2. 2012 SB loss vs BAL
3. 1992 NFCCG vs Dallas
4. 1993 NFCCG @ Dallas
5. 1995 NFC Div vs GB
6. 1996 NFC Div @ GB
7. 1997 NFCCG vs GB
8. 2011 NFCCG vs NYG
9. 2013 NFCCG @ SEA
10. 2021 NFCCG @ LAR
We've lost so many NFC Championship games, it's crazy.
