Back when 1:00PT games ended at 3:50PM and the network had time to fill afterwards. Nowadays the late games start at 1:25 and a lot of times don't end until around 5PM.
I was thinking I was going to see Jerry Rice & Terrell Owens vs Randy Moss & Cris Carter. That would have been the best 4 receivers ever on the same football field.
@@deanladue3151 And, Garcia was not Young or Montana, because, to me, he was so Owens-centric that the offense suffered because of it. A QB has to PG the football around to be successful and--if he doesn't--the other relevant players will lack focus and usefulness. A QB also has to know who is open on a given play and get that person involved sometimes, even if the star is open, too.
In 98 in the playoffs, it could have happened again, SF finally beats GB, but Hearst gets hurt again in ATL on the 1st play after that GB win(on the 1st play of the game) and ATL beats SF by 1 point. I think the game was rigged and that Hearst faked an injury to fit ATL meeting Elway in the SB...Minn with Cunningham, Moss, Carter, Reed, Robert Smith, a solid D-line(did John Randall fake being injured?!), and a secondary that was playing good--going into that game, also lost to ATL! Had everything worked out--they would have met in 98 in the NFC Championship game with amazingly parallel teams! Moss(1st year) and Owens(2nd year starter) were parallel players, Rice and Carter were parallel players, Reed and Stokes were parallel, Smith and Hearst were parallel, and Cunningham(playing well that season and, when he was playing well, you got HOF play) and Young(HOFer) were parallel! This would have been an AIi VS Frazier 1 caliber PPV event! Still, as is in this one--You had Owens and Carter; Reed and Stokes; and Cunningham and Young. Then, Smith had the advantage in rushing, but SF knows what it is like to win and not get much of anything rushing...REGARDLESS, OF NOT BEING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A YEAR LATER, THIS WAS A DYNAMITE POTENTIAL GAME ON PAPER!
@@pattrell5257 on the last Vikings defensive play against the Cardinals, Randle was a victim of friendly fire from teammate Derrick Alexander who nailed him in the knee as Randle was going for a sack on Jake Plummer. Randle would say on the first play in the NFC Championship, ATL tackle Bob Whitfield chop blocked him on that bad knee. And was basically was playing on one leg after that.
