I'm not sure this question has an answer. In 85 when the Raiders and Niners played in the preseason the 49ers beat the Raiders 28-21. They had a 28-7 lead entering the 4th quarter and the Raiders were able to recover two onside kicks to bring it to a 28-21 lead before fumbling on their final possession to lose the game. Montana played the first half and was replaced by Cavanaugh who was hurt in the game and replaced by Scott Barry. Montana never came back in the game, as far as I can tell, and the only time Walsh brought him back into a preseason game in the 4th quarter was against the Bears in 87.
There's very limited information available about old preseason games in general.
See, that's what I'm saying. How the world can we answer a question about a long ago preseason game?
But hey, 9moon, if you're out there right now and not having to create high tides off the southern coast of Morocco or anything (j/k
),I still want to commend you. I mean, look at the discussion you wrought with that unanswerable question. You even got SmokeyJoe digging
up some 49er game history.
So don't feel bad or anything man.
And stay connected!
