That music. Those memories of that day. Driving to Chico to watch the blacked out 49ers game on TV. I saw both games in a motel room TV sitting at a desk. Giants losing game 6 of the 2002 World Series right up there too.

Yes but the hope started in '79 if you were paying attention, which unfortunately many 49er fans were not.

@@plantfeeder6677 Agreed. Walsh arrived in '79. But they logged a miserable 2-14 behind an injury plagued OJ and a terrible defense. Some of the pieces were there (Clark, Solomon, Joe, Hofer). But we weren't paying much attention. Walsh said at the end of '79 "We are two drafts away from being a contender" A slight improvement in '80 to 6-10 (with an incredible comeback over the winless Saints) At the beginning of '81, the sportswriters said "Don't expect much". Then they lost two of their first three to start off '811 and we said "Ho-hum, another 6-10 season." Nobody expected what was to come

@@nealbfinn ahhhhmm! I DID! But oh that magic feeling...so far away, so far away

By the Way Dick Nolan The coach of SF Niners went Dallas To be assistant coordinator on Defense for Dallas Cowboys that then Bill Walsh beat Dallas on The famous play Call "The Catch".!...

John Brodie said, in an episode of NFL Films' "The Lost Treasures", that when the DeBartolo family bought the 49ers and hired Joe Thomas to run the team in 1977, Thomas ordered virtually all film archives be disposed of. In his mind, apparently, the 49ers had no past; only a present and future. Brodie himself had not seen a lot of what NFL Films had managed to salvage until he sat down with them to film his interview.

I saw it on KZfaq only last year then all the sudden it's gone same thing with 1970 Lions maybe it's something with the 1970 team highlights I'm not sure

It's here on You Tube.

@@ldfreitas9437 tell me where to view 1970 Lions and 1970 Rams 30 minute NFL films version what person is showing those on KZfaq for free

Yes, 31-10 over Morton and Dallas, but losing 30-28 to Captain Comeback in the playoffs had to sting.

Yeah, and I blame the fake turf at Candlestick for that to a degree.

In Washington

49er organization butchered his knees with bad surgeries, taking pain meds and other lies coupled with his unbreakable work ethic to play with pain. He was forced to sue the 49ers and he won $2.38 million from them in 1988. That was unprecedented back then and still is. Kruger missed half the season in 1963 and one game in 1967. Other than that, he played in all the other 191 games.

But no SB for many more years, and finally, in St. Louis!😂!

​@@ldfreitas9437 and 2021 back in LA

Yep and it took all your talented players to come to SF to get a ring.

Actually 1965-72

Same year Dave Wilcox came in. But the one that isn't there that played earlier was Matt Hazeltine. #55 played lb for the 49ers for 14 seasons from 1955-1968 when they drafted Skip Vanderbundt who took his place
