4 yards short of a Super Bowl if only kaup didn’t over throw moss on first down

Them boys were nasty. Carlos Rogers Dashon Goldson etc.

Plus Goldston and Donte Hitner in the secondary that defense was legit terrifying

I used to want to combine the Seahawks secondary and the Niners front 7 to make the scariest unit possible.

@@tayrohnbrown8586 Along with strong man,Isaac Sopoaga,at DT.

They gonna be missed forever❤❤❤💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥

Yea man they were fun to watch. Even a an eagles fan. I used to watch sea/sf and bal/Pitt and wish we had defenses like those back in those days

Not close at all

@@ttt2690comparable but yea not close

Agreed.

@@Manu907z comparable for a quick thought of “oh na nvm that was dumb” they are not close

San Francisco in 2012 did something that only New England in 2007 and Washington in 1991 have done since the merger: Have nine players voted first or second team all pro by the Associated Press. Willis and Bowman being two of them.

Used to make me mad how good those 49er teams were

Lance briggs and brian urlacher weren't bad either.

U most ain't heard of Sam mills & von Johnson of those 90's saints

@@bayarea_hemi they couldn’t do what Willis and Bowman could do in the passing game

Respect from California brother. True fans of the game like us hate to see any player go down. I'd rather lose a game to a fully healthy squad, than win because a star players season was ended. You're a real one

Respect. That was the moment I hated Seattle officially. I was like what a trash fan base to throw stuff at a warrior like bowman. But hey not all the same I see now 👍.

Respect to you. My hate started that day for Seattle. It’s good to see a fan with class.

Seahawk fans are just trash in general

Respect. No matter how much I hate a team, I never wish injury on any players because these guys have lives and families, too. And when the Seahawks fans did that, I felt worse about it than actually losing the game. Bowman was a phenomenal player whose prime was cut short because of that knee injury. Shoutout to you for the class, respect and admiration you’ve shown not only to Bowman and Willis, but to all the players who lay it all out on the field.

Well the refs decided that wasn't part of the script and gave the ball back to Seattle. And the 49ers get the same treatment still over a decade later. Nfl mad at the franchise over something

L RV 5

49ers still haunting sea hawks fans 3-0 yall ass this year

@@adamjones4632 not this year baby! We coming for dat Ass!

@@adamjones4632 why you gotta be toxic? We couldn’t win a game in Seattle for 8 years and the Seahawks would always destroy us in their home stadium.

@@adamjones4632 still don’t have a Super Bowl this century my boy😂😮

Shii Willis never left his prime in all honesty 😂 retired before he ever truly started diminishing

Don't bring up none of those secondary players. They was hitters but mediocre at what we needed them for. To cover. They couldn't cover jack shh n cost us the dam supervowl

@@TzUuup Chris Culliver could absolutely cover. What are you yammering on about?? So could Rodgers. Having no safety help ever will make nearly any corner look bad.

@@MrDH8 exactly they lost us the superbowl

@@TzUuup Kyle Williams cost the niners one

Along with the smith boys and them 2 hard hittin safeties 💪🏿

@@Dipset415 u remember when donte whitner changed his name to "hitner" 🤣

👍

Urlacher and Briggs

@@cameronmaloney2786 idk how I forgot them

Wagner and Wright and Irvin in Seattle

@@buckbuckboom6241 Irvin was so overrated. You had it right just mentioning Wags and KJ.

Yeah, they are legends forever, but the final drive pains me so much more than Super Bowl LIV. I know people talk about Marshawn not being given the rock for Seahawks, but it was a crime not seeing Frank Gore take the ball in for go ahead TD inside the 5.

Had it not been for that knee injury and willis toe they would be first ballot hofer and in convos for greatest mlb of all time. Such a shame injuries cut both their careers short

@@balln415 Seahawks fans will forever have my hate for throwing trash at him being carted off the feild. Belive he recovered the Fumble after his knee was shattered then got dog piled. Team was special in that Era

I said it first biottchhh !!! Hey bowman your one of the most underrated linebackers take it from me first !

Nothing but facts here

Absolutely. I was saying in 2011 that Bowman looked better than Willis. People called me crazy. Meanwhile, Vic Fangio asked Bowman to stay in the game in dime packages, not Willis, and PFF ranked Bowman as the #1 run defending LB in the NFL. Bowman is the one who covered the WR Roddy White to break up the pass on 4th down vs the Falcons in the NFC Championship game. Willis was amazing, and it took time for people to see that Bowman was even better.

@@PaulGaither he was not better than Willis but definitely underrated

@@Ballinbmac - No, he was better. PFF and other places graded him higher. His own coaches kept him on the field and had more faith in him when they had to choose between the two. Bowman is 1a to Pat's 1b. Elite LB play for three season. Willis just did it since 2011, but bowman had a devastating injury to cut his career short. yes, he came back and kept playing, but was never close to the same after the broken leg, and who would be? Watch the video itself again. Even the coaches said you could swap their numbers and nobody would notice, and that was only after 2011, not 2013 and 2013 where Bowman improved.

@@PaulGaither he was not better than Patrick Willis. Patrick was a top linebacker without him. You honestly think bowman would’ve had that same exact success without playing with Patrick? He was a hell of a player but saying he was better than Willis is just not true idc about none of that analytics crap.

@@PaulGaither you talking about Willis just did since 2011 he was literally first team all pro to start his career for like 5 straight years. He might’ve added more in the pass game I concede that. Most great linebacker duos or trios have players that are better than the other at something. I don’t know everything but I’ve actually sat with a guy named Chris slade former nfl player all time leading sack artist for Virginia for 3 years I sat learning the game of football starting out my coaching career. I’m not saying everything I say is fact because bottomline we both are sharing opinions. But I just find it hard to believe that Patrick Willis at his peak and Navarro bowman at his peak. You are picking bowman like I honestly find that hard to believe especially when Mike Singletary coached ray lewis and Willis and he says that Willis was in his cloth. Like I understand the coaches argument. But you gotta player who is top 10 all time middle linebacker who coached a top 3 middle linebacker of all time and he said Willis is in his cloth it’s all preference but I’m I think I trust Singletary when it comes to judging middle linebackers over even the current dc who allegedly said what you typed

Nah

@@bayarea_hemi yeah. and theres no duo even close

@@darkmikey89 shut up 🤡

Those Saints dome patrol was better

They wasn’t

No one will probably ever top these. Dre and Fred are close but these guys were animals

As a fellow Ravens fan, these are facts. I absolutely loved watching these two and those 49er teams from that era. So yeah, you're not alone

dashon goldson #38 ?

Whitner

Yea I butcher his name sorry

Ray and Justin in the middle, Aldon and Ahmad outside. Goldson and Donte in the back, defense was insane. Remember those Seattle and SF battles 🔥

Yes. You cannot tell me football today is better than the NFL we grew up watching. Im telling you, including NBA, athletes were built different than vs now.

Nah

I wouldn't say way better. The defenses from 2011-2013 were never the #1 defense in the NFL, the 2022 49ers defense was. They also never had a DPOY on their roster, the 2022 defense did. It's a toss up

They wasn't even better than tha bears 2006 defense

@@LaMarcGasoldridge The 2011-2013 defense was far better. They had 6 players make the All Pro team. Their entire LB core were All-Pro. Aldon Smith had more sacks in 2012 than Bosa did this year and he didn’t win DPOY.

I feel like Patrick Willis was a carbon copy of Ray, not an evolution. I feel like Luke and Bobby are the best evolution of MLB. Just my 2 cents but I love em all as a Seahawks fan

@@SteveSaeteurn exactly willis had better long distance speed tho for sure but I always say their exactly the way Jordan and Kobe are, the 2 closest players to one another that we’ve ever seen 💯

@@SteveSaeteurn I think Luke and Bobby are both great but I like Willis over both. They reason I say Willis was the next was because he's the first complete MLB who also had wheels. I think Luke and Bobby would be a next step because yeah they could cover decently, but I don't think Willis was a slouch there.
