Then came Troy Aikman & Joe Buck

@@theoutlaw9759 and thankfully Jim Nantz and Tony Romo

Pat was already really good before Madden but he knew he had to step it up because Madden was so much better than Brookshire.

You’re right about that!!!

Ahem, Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola?

And now they're both dead!

The person who is not recognized and has to be somewhat responsible for the 49ers dynasty was the 49ers Director of Player Personel John McVay, the grandfather of L.A. Rams head coach Sean McVay.

On the 49ers goal line stand, the 3rd down pass from Ken Anderson to Charles Alexander that they stopped short of the goal line was designed for Alexander to get into the end zone and make that cut to the right, but made it too early.

Actually, the regular season game they called between the Cowboys and Lions was pretty big. It was their warm up.

Yea 49ers been in a superbowl every decade since 1981 season but 49ers dynasty started in this game but it took 8 yrs for the 49ers to have a dynasty cause it was 1981 to 1989 they won 4 superbowls but they coulda won atleast 2 or 3 more superbowls after the 1989 season but cowboys got in there way in nfc championship games except for 1994 season when 49ers got there 5th superbowl win in 14 yrs from 1981 to 1994.

amen

I know Right!!!!

LOL

same here greebs

Was it on VHS?

@@yeomane No idea if they ever released it on VHS.

They got rid of that stadium quick too. wasnt that old when they moved to Ford Field, which doesnt have the same presence and noise

Cincinnati Had So Many Changes Without Question To Make The Big Plays!

I never thought that Collinsworth caught that ball even with the rules of the day. Had the correct call been made, it would have been 3rd and 9. Who knows what could happen? Huge bad call.

The 49ers had 3 rookies in their starting secondary defense in that super bowl. That is so hard to believe back then as well as today.

And don't forget Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Weird Al.

Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!

And Chuck Norris movies.

Basically the greatest decade ever

We also had The A-Team, Magnum P.I., Family Ties, Night Court, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones movies, and Murder She Wrote.

And in 88 as well.

The Bengals defense played a great game. It was the turnovers by the Bengals offense & special teams that put their defense in a bad position especially near their goal line which the 49ers came away with a then Super Bowl record 4 FG's. The 49ers offense were held to 275 yards for the entire game and in the second half had only around 55 yards of total offense, but built that 20-0 first half lead which was enough to win by 5 points.

@@vinceniederman Do you mean "chance"?

Ha ha go niners

This is something Tom Brady always lacked of.

EXACTLY! I was yelling for Purdy to do the same last Sunday. 😆👍

​@@Trancymindand that means nothing when you get to 10 super bowls

@@markjackson5333Somebody got triggered about Bradys weakness.

@@Trancymind nah just making sure you kids understand you don't need to be like mahomes to win

Bengals actually scored more TD's then the 49ers.

5:55 I don't think that was even a completed pass and should not have been a fumble.

On the 49ers goal line stand, the 3rd down & goal play, the pass from Ken Anderson to RB Charles Alexander that 49ers LB Dan Bunz stopped short of the goal line was designed for Alexander to get into the end zone and then make that cut to the right, but made it too early. The play looked familiar to those who recognized it, the sprint right pass play, like the one the 49ers ran two weeks prior that resulted in Dwight Clark's TD catch that sent the 49ers to SB XVI.

@@conlanding Yup and He Made His Mistake by NOT going To The End Zone on 3rd Down and That Was a Bad Mistake By Charles Alexander!

@DoubleOhTheG Yup and Cincinnati Had So Many Changes To Win!

thats correct, super bowl xvi is still the highest rated at 49.1 , with all the choices of tv shows and stations these days, i dont see it being broken. almost half the country had their tv sets tuned into super bowl xvi ..wow! i'm a niner fan, i was 22 at the time, and the 1st super bowl is always the best! the others are just icing on the cake, there will never be another 1st .. go niners

​​@@tamautulei1492Well Super Bowl VXIII just had the most viewing of not just super bowls but for any TV program ever aired at 123.4 million viewers.

Yes, it was clearly an incompletion. What were the refs looking at?

Agree -don’t like the bengals but that’s not even close. Clearly incomplete. Awful call

At the time it was a fumble but now it would be incomplete

I thought Super Bowl 49 was ?

@@semionjohnson1351 It was the most watched on average.

@@semionjohnson1351 .. more people watched sb 49, however percentage of tv's tuned into a sb still belongs to sb xvi at 49.1 ..wowza

Well the new record for not just super bowls but for ANY TV program just went to Super Bowl VXIII

Totally agree

True!!!!

Ain’t no way

that wasn't a fumble

It really was a shame, everything lined up for it too. Bengals in it, CBS broadcast.

Yup and When They Were Down 23-14 That Pick By Anderson Was The Worst Then The First Pick by Eric Wright in The First Half!

Yeah they really had their chances

Yeah, the Niners were never really in danger of losing or ever trailing( although the Bengals did get to within 20-14 at one point ), but essentially they controlled the tempo of this game once they seized the lead early.

@@ckendall67 Well only because the Bengals committed 4 costly turnovers that led to 20 of the 49ers 26 points.

Yeah I don’t know what the hell he was thinking doing that

Of course! It’s underrated how good this game was!

@@NFLVault Especially in an era when the Super Bowl was often anti-climatic. Of course, this Super Bowl had a lot to live up to, considering the incredible games that were played during that post-season to lead up to it. One of the odd things about the 1981 NFL post-season was what an indicator the regular season meetings between the teams that met in the conference championship games and in the Super Bowl would end up being. The Bengals faced the Chargers in the regular season, as did the 49ers and Cowboys, and the result of the regular season match-up was replicated in the post-season match-ups, and the same was true regarding the teams that met in the Super Bowl, because the 49ers and Bengals had played each other late in the regular season, and again, the result of the regular season match-up was replicated in the Super Bowl.

Agreed and The Bengals Did Shoot Themselves in The Foot in The First Half!

Mahomes has never ever saw hard hitting defenses that were non stop blitzing defenses. Defenses that could actually hit the QB hard and low. Defenses who could hit hard and not let up on a blitz due to the worry of a flag. That kid would be lost if he actually had to read defenses and then on IR if they hit him. Mahomes is the absolute most overrated and overhyped player I’ve ever saw.

the raiders should have played them i wish with lester hayes and mike haynes

@@erics2739 .. raiders won the sb the year before, but you're right, woulda been a great match up

Tony Romo playoff choke as a holder. LOL!!!

Even the year prior 1980, the wild card team won the super bowl. Back to back seasons the cinderella team winning the super bowl.

Yeah the Bengals should have won this super bowl

Remember this, the 49ers had 3 rookies in their starting secondary defensive squad. Truly unheard of to this day.

If they were still living, I wonder if Pat and John would do a Manningcast type of broadcast on like FS1 on FOX or ESPN 2. I would think they would get many viewers.

Of course he did. Like Jon Gruden spanking the Raiders..

Thanks for sharing that fact

What about the Bears vs Patriots in Super Bowl XX ?

LOL 40 years later.

Now here's a guy....
