Mike Holmgren was a few years removed from being the offensive coordinator in San Francisco, and Brett Favre was just coming into his own. The 49ers hosted the Green Bay Packers in a Divisional Round Playoff Game. And there were lows, like losing in back-to-back weeks to the New Orleans Saints and expansion Carolina Panthers.īut it's the way the season ended that really didn't sit well with the organization, or its fans. There were highs for the defending Super Bowl Champions, like beating the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium to kick off a 6-game winning streak. The 1995 season was up and down for the 49ers. "They're running our offense better than us" NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, January 6, 1996. Here are my six worst (non-Super Bowl) moments in 49ers' history:Ħ. So I didn't choose postseason losses from the 1970s, even though I hear they were as painful as any.Īlright, let's jump in. As mentioned above, I only selected moments I remember happening.Plus, if I included Super Bowls, I'd have to change my title. I just decided to go in a different direction, and not include the Super Bowl (wins or losses). But make no mistake, the two Super Bowl losses were two of the five worst moments. I didn't include Super Bowl losses, because those would be automatics, and quite frankly, too simple and lazy.For example, I could have chosen the firing of Jim Harbaugh or the hiring of Jim Tomsula, but I'm only including games. Here are the criteria for helping me narrow the list down to the top six, or in this case, the worst six. But I didn't include it because I didn't see it. But, yes, I realize it is the most iconic play in NFL history and number one on the 49ers' greatest list.
I was pretty young, and don't really remember it. That's because my list only included moments I witnessed. I took some heat last week because I didn't include "The Catch" in my top five. This week, I'm flipping the script and going the other way and adding one, to make it my six worst (non-Super Bowl) moments in 49ers history. What are the worst moments in the history of the San Francisco 49ers? Last week, I gave my 5 greatest (non-Super Bowl) moments in 49ers history.
