Yup. That was the ” fail Mary” of that era….

Ironically, the 49ers in the 90s were known as the “finesse” team. The Packer largely owned them by playing physical. It was quickly figured out that Brent Jones could not go out for a pass while laying flat on his back.

In 2013, I would say the situation is much reversed. The 49ers largely took it to us in the opener by playing physical. It helped that the replacement refs allowed WRs to be pretty much raped on the field.

The Packers will need to play a physical game to beat the 49ers.

we seemed to “match up” real well with the 9ers in the 90′s.

You’re not the only one. Along with Favre’s last pass.

That last second score and the 4th and 26 at Philly are the two plays that still make me sick to my stomach when I think about them. No way in hell either should have had a chance of happening.
