2002 NFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF GAME | San Francisco @ Tampa Bay 

This Tampa Defense of 2002 should be in the top 10 of all time.🤔🤔🤔

What a time to be alive for long disappointed Bucs fans. I'd argue that this was a much more special season for us than the TB12 season.

This was the game as a Raiders fan where I was like, "Ummm, the Bucs might be real trouble". I wasn't worried about Philly and even the 49ers, who had beaten us, I didn't think we'd lose to them on a neutral field. But Tampa...this game was ominous because they completely neutered a damn good 49ers offense and T.O.

This Bucs DEF was so nasty man I xan only dream to see these days again...

In a way, it’s fitting that the Niners were the Bucs’ Playoff opponent this day considering that TB’s first win of the Pewter Red era and the beginning of their turnaround which led to their crowning Super moment of glory was against SF in ‘97 which began the turnaround.

they never show our games on the NFL Network so I'm thankful for you posting this game

Fun Fact: Outside the 2003 playoff run the Bucs have been in 12 playoff games scoring a combined 124 Points, just over 10 points a game. In the 3 games of these playoffs the Bucs scored a combined 106 Points, just over 35 points a game.

I am from the future… say hello to Superbowl LV Champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Man the nfl produce back then was wayyyy better quality than it is now..the hitting was sound , the tackling was sound the over physicality of the game was just wayyy better!

One of the worst games in my memory as a niners fan. We came off that incredible win in OT vs the Giants in the wild card game. The bucs absolutely embarrassed us that game. Definitely one of the toughest losses I ever saw in my 35 years of being a niner fan. The Bucs were the best team all year in 02’ and they definitely looked like it in this game

Man I always thought this was the game that finally killed the Bill Walsh west coast offense era for the 49ers. They never made the playoffs again until I think over a decade later

BA is gonna bring us back to the playoffs

nice, I like to go back and look at playoffs from years past!

As a life long Lions fan, the Bucs from until the time they drafted Sapp and Brooks until the time Alstott left was my team.. Great jerseys. Great stadium. Great coaches. Great players. I still have my Keyshawn jersey..

I'm not a niners fan but I love their helmets and uniforms. I wish they would have kept this look.

Monte Kiffins defense was no joke. As a 49er fan I thought we were gonna come in way better after that Giants game/come back.

2 former bucs qb's going head to head the last 2 that got us to the playoffs before the GOAT came to the bay

makes Bears 85 defense look like jr high

You did such a great job on this. The editing was sharp and not jarring. Also good to see the Bucs during their Super Bowl run.

Man this quality is superb!

Thanks for this!

Thank you very much Mike!

Good editing, even if you're a bit quick on the cuts. Good video, thanks for posting!

Brings back memories. I was at this game. What a season.

I remember this day, my seats are section 140 Row A seat #1and #2, we had fun that day

love you posting these videos!!! Man I miss these days!!! Good things coming our way this year! CARRY THAT BIG MOTHER FUCKING STICK!!

Good shit! Fire the cannons! Been watching these all day.

This wasn't even a game. 49ers completely got their asses kicked. Tampa was the better team, but I expected my boys to put up a better fight than that.

I saw this game and although I'm a 49er fan I was pissed. But the Bucs was on fire all year long and deserved to go to the SB and win. My brother is a Bucs fan and thank goodness he didn't throw it in my face.

Mike your my hero kudos man how u keep finding these games

Cool to see how many assistant coaches in these games went on to head coach.

Present-day 49ers General Manager be laying the wood on the 49ers in this game.

Niners practically gave up by halftime

They are presentable at best and the 9 ers are emblematic

2002 Bucs defense is a top 5 defense All-Time and you can’t change my mind.🤷🏻‍♂️ 1. 1985 Chicago Bears 2. 2000 Baltimore Ravens 3. 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers 4. 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5. 2013 Seattle Seahawks 6. 1990 New York Giants 7. 2015 Denver Broncos 8. 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers 9. 1969 Minnesota Vikings 10. 1977 Atlanta Falcons

Idk why the bucs changed their uniforms. The old ones were way better

Steve Mariucci would be fired after this game and the 49ers would not be in the playoffs until 2011.

1:02:45 mariucci T.O. s angry.....the killer instinct ...i remember

Garcia never caught a break. He played like an MVP during the regular season only to get hammered in the playoffs over and over. It's sad. The 49ers simply could not get anywhere in the playoffs during those years. They had the number 2 or 3 offense in the NFL with Garcia at QB and could not catch a break.

Do you have the Bucs Falcons 2004 or Bucs Lions 2005

Great game man was the nfl a tough place once ago

The pro bowl helmet of Garcia was so raw my dude

Do you have the 89 game where they beat Chicago

Look at rumph 24 looked so clean on that player

Re watching this 1:48:10 reminds me of how damn smart Simeon is. When is the last time you have seen a defensive end be around so many ball carriers. He's recognizing plays so quickly. Awesome awesome amazing player. UNDERRATED * Ronde is still pissed about his INT being brought back because he had that facemask penalty though.

What was the final 49 to 31

Keenan mccardell was huge!

Mariucci's last game in San Fran

We need this uni back..

Laura mentz please call home😂😂I heard that in the background

Do you have 99-2000 conference championship game (STL Rams vs Bucs) ?

Y'all see all them fans, it's not like that anymore but when Tom Brady takes the field for the first time as a Buccaneer it is gonna be crazy like that. TAMPA....

Last 49ers playoff game until the 2011 NFL postseason

How many times could Chris Collinsworth be wrong about our Bucs?

Mariucci coaches his last Niner game

Garcia had the most heart!

Living in Northern California all the 9er fans would talk about is Garcia and T.O, after this game there wasnt any 9er fans for about 10 years.

JEFF GARCIA is one of the most underrated QB1's & QB2's of all time, BOTH ROLES, he is so very UNDERRATED for his ability & skill. ( this game was not a good representation of his actual ability).

What’s the score 49 to pirate

What’s the score 49 to 31

We kid y’all every time

Bucs for life!

The way Garcia bailed out of the pocket at 23:00 ish is telling of how afraid of the Bucs d he was or his limitations as a qb. His o-line did a good job on that 3rd and goal. He didn't even try to stay in the pocket..

Last playoff win at the new sombrero for the Bucs. 17 years and counting.

Gruden was a mastermind left the raiders went to the team with a great D knowing everything about the raiders, this planned out so perfect lol.

Joe Buck sounds like a Polish wise-guy if you change the speed to 0.75

San Fran completely blew their load the week before coming back against the Giants! I don't know if they were completely spent physically and emotionally this game but they were complete non factors and this was nothing more than a glorified warmup game for Tampa Bay before their next playoff game.

Dang I didn’t know Steve Mariucci could of had a job in Tampa but he cat out 😢

Funny seeing us have good defense....

This would have been a better game if 7 CBs werent injured for the 9ers

They couldn’t even Kidd us in our away uniform!

This whole 49 ers team played there heart out ala Manny pacuiao

Did u see Andre carter he looked exhausted

How do they expect to get back to this level of game ??

22:33 Biggest play of the game IMO. That ended up leading to a big stand when the score was what it was and the 2nd quarter ended up being all Bucs. From that play by Barber until halftime, the Bucs put this game out of reach and then some.

There was so much time the forty miners could have come back

No way Alstott has ever taken steroids because he would have told me

GO BUCS

I remember this game: If memory serves correctly, this was a 1pm on a Sunday which is an early game for a west coast team like the Niners. The Niners were already beat up from their slug fest with the Giants the week before. The Bucs were well-rested, hungrier, and nastier. The Niners stood no chance this game.

Niners were completely drained after thar barnburner vs the giants. They had nothing left for tampa.

The Bucs were just too good that year. It would’ve been really interesting if the Patriots had made the playoffs and made it back to the super bowl. With those 2 defenses, the game would’ve ended like 6-3 or something haha

Sf > tb

Those shadow numbers made the 49ers more nfc then warren sapp!

34:45 Joe Jurevicius TD

I was there, was that ever a loud afternoon in RayJay

How do the 9 ers ever except to face this caliber of team when they go back to the expensive one

A Raider 49er Superbowl almost happened

Lifelong bucs fan. I forgot how cringe it was to see brad johnson throw a football.

49ers super bowl chefs buccaneers home chefs visitors

ronde barber

Peterson was just a light weight compared to peppers he wasn’t the worst outside linebacker but he wasn’t a Michael Vick dominant ass player.

The original creamsicle Buccaneer uniform looked the best. I think they changed from it because they had this superstitious belief that the color orange cursed them and made them weak. That definitely isn't the reason why the Buccaneers have the worst won/loss record of all NFL teams. They've been wearing variations of these pewter uniforms for many years now, and they have mostly sucked throughout.

Big cus rickey dudley superbowl champ!

Fire dem cannons! 16:51

Should have been Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New York Giants who threw away big lead v 49ers week earlier.

Bucs return to the divisional round next in 2020

2023

this is when all of the first down posing started. It's really lame.

Owens is the biggest player on the field him and sapp
