The SF playoff game in 2011. I was there at Candlestick and I never felt such highs and lows in such a short time. We were getting blown out with 5 turnovers on offense but we jut kept coming. Couldn't believe we came all the way back and basically won the game if it weren't for another playoff implosion.
I like the game because it was one of the best offenses of all time vs one of the best defenses we had seen in awhile. That 49er defense was loaded.
And to make matters worse, Kuechly nelson-ed Gronk a few weeks later on Monday Night Football. The flag was thrown and inexplicably picked up. The Panthers finished ahead of us by one game.I'm still angry about that game. They full nelson-ed Junior Galette on the game-ending TD pass. Too bad the refs were Helen Keller, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Phil McKinnely, and Gary Cavaletto.
I remember that, and one of the more entertaining games that year. Not sure it's in the top 10 all time, though.49ers 28-27 Saints (Nov 11, 2001) Final Score - ESPN
Game summary of the San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints NFL game, final score 28-27, from November 11, 2001 on ESPN.www.espn.com
Saints vs Niners 2001 was a fun one. Brooks 347 yards 2 TDs, Ricky Williams 121 yards, Willie Jackson 11 - 167 yards.
But lost 28-27.
And with that Super Bowl- our offense would be remembered as the best in history imo. That offense (as is) is already in the conversation, but a cherry on top would have done it.Among all the memorable heartbreakers in team history, that loss in the 2011 Divisional Playoff Game against the Niners takes the cake. It’s what was at stake — Drew’s second ring — that still makes it hurt the most.
