Kyle Williams

I have it probably at 4th or 5th. The reason it's not higher is about expectation going in. We were the better team in the other losses and that game going in was at best a coin flip.

No doubt it was disappointing the way it played out, but if I knew beforehand we were only going to score 20, I wouldn't have bothered watching lol.

I saw it coming from a mile away... I actually posted about it on another forum before that game happened.

Ted Ginn was questionable all week and was inactive for the game...and Harbs trusted Kyle (who's always had bobble issues..and try too hard issues) to put in there. As soon as I heard that I was hoping Harbs would tell Kyle to just let the ball fall and stay far behind it so it doesn't go too far back when it drops. Or atleast tell him to do that if it was obvious Kyle was having problems.

Yet in that game Kyle keep looking jittery back there and almost coughed it up before the major ones.

Oh well.

i really should hate that team more than i do.

I was at the Kyle Williams game and it was crushing. 1990 was 10x worse. We were on the cusp of a three peat which has never been done. And Joe broke his back. Devastating on all levels.

absolutely the MOST devastating loss of all time.

excellent point that we hate the cowgirls so much but don't have a higher level of hate for the giants...

Great point. Giants also killed Montana in 1986 playoffs (Jim Burt).

I think it's worse with the Cowboys because of the losses in the 1970's. Those were crushing as well. Plus their whole organization and fan base is so arrogant. "America's Team" BS, etc. Lol

This feels like it's in the wrong forums. I've turned the page on this dude.

Reading and reliving these traumatic memories is not therapeutic at all. Imma go drown my goldfish to release some anger.

"Damn Ginn is not playing.... Kyle Williams and Reggie Smith better not try to do too much like they usually do. >:(
Toucback on kickoffs and don't even touch any balls from punts...let it roll where ever it has to go. "

IT was not K. Williams, it was the ref who blew his whistle so fast on the RB fumble.. the guy fumbled while sittin on top of a defender... that woulda been the game..

all Harbaugh had to do was feed Frank. he tried to make his hand-picked boy Kap the star of that game. i'll never forgive him for that.

That was brutal, Gore was averaging 4-5 yards a carry and we were on the 6 yard line and had Kap throw 3 fades to Crabtree. Did the same in Seattle for the NFCCG. SMH

3rd

To me the three most frustrating events:

1. Roger Craig's fumble that prevented a likely three-peat (NFC Championship)
2. JimmyG overthrown pass (Super Bowl)
3. Harbaugh's calls at the goal line (Super Bowl)

I lost it when the Ravens were intentionally holding on a punt, and the refs took forever to throw the flag. The kick return and offsides they called on us but not them. I want to know how much the refs were paid off that day.

No guarantee we 3peat.........none whatsoever, especially considering we lost to Buffalo in '92 at home with the better Steve Young than would have went out there a week later (instead of two). Buffalo in '90 I think was a different beast than '91-'93, where they nearly beat the Giants and by the time they faced Dallas, weren't quite the same team (or maybe they were figured out better.......the '90 team was a monster offensively....Belichick had to come up with an insanely counterintuitive game plan to beat them, that almost failed - the Bills had almost no time of possession but still scored about 1 point a minute...19 points!).

Trust me, I watched that game and remember crying as an 11 year old. It hurt and for many years left a hole in my heart, but now I look at the big picture a bit better and chalk it up to destiny. Niners inability to really run the ball, and the Giants taking advantage of every single opportunity (except dropping that FB option pass in the end zone.....Maurice Carthon's son was with the Niners until recently before going to Tennessee btw).

The fake punt, the fumble, and hell every play Hostetler seemingly made in that game......it seems like winning it would've been luck in hindsight. Even the field goal at the end was nearly missed (and nearly blocked too).

The Niners were a shocking 8 point favorite in that game, which seemed BS given the 7-3 MNF dogfight several weeks earlier. A healthier Craig very likely wins the game with some level of comfort.

As for the 2011 game, I think for me the big difference in *loss* was that it was a far more underrated/underappreciated squad. Seeing Smith, Gore, Davis, Willis and the defense overlooked despite a 13-3 season and beating the Saints hurt a lot. I remember Brian Baldinger on NFL Network before the Super Bowl expressing sadness we never got to see our defense go against New England.......he felt we would have really shut them down, and given the Giants held them to 17, I think we would've held them to like 10 points.

You could argue we deserved to lose the 2011 game more initially because we seemingly had no answer for Cruz until Fangio figured some stuff out in the second half. At that point, we had to play perfectly to win and we didn't.

Dropped Eli picks......the Bradshaw fumble that wasn't.

It never ends, haha.

No running game in 1990, no QB in 2011.

Hopefully we have both for the next big one....

Yes a lot of history with Dallas...70s, JFK assassination, old oil money, and definitely hate the "America's Team" BS.
