NFL's Greatest Games - 1983 NFC Championship - 49ers at Redskins - Enhanced - 1080p

Even though I despised the Redskins, especially when they beat my team in the Super Bowl, I respected them. They had one of the best owners in Jack Kent Cooke and a fantastic coach in Gibbs. When those people were no longer associated with the franchise things have never been the same since. Just shows how much damage Snyder did with his reclessness. In 2024 it still feels weird calling them The Commanders. Just not the same organization that used to be full of pride and tradition.

@@ABrownVB63 I have to object to you saying 9ers "always getting blown out" when they went east. Yes the back to back losses at the NYG in 86 and 87 by a combined score of 66-6 were blowouts, but even the 86 loss was only 3-17, not necessarily a blowout but ok Ill give it to you. However this game here certainly was not a blowout and in walsh's final year (1988) he took the 9ers into chicago and his 9ers opened a can of whoop @ss on the bears 28-3 in the NFC championship game. The bears offense was rendered totally impotent by the SF D.

@@rawn4203 I meant Vikes and Packers not Bears. Read the stats and you'll definitely agree and don't forget the Redskins gm was over at half time just like the gms below. The call vs Lott was a non factor because Riggins had around 130 yards rushing and 2 TDs and would've punched it over anyway. Coming east in the cold in the playoffs is not good for them. It's called west coast offense for a reason.

In the final years of John Riggins' playing for the Redskins, John Madden mentioned in his radio show that Riggins was generally so battered after the games that it would take a day or two of bed rest before Riggins felt up to moving around to prep for the upcoming Sunday game. That five minute radio segment Madden did was on San Francisco's KSFO, San Francisco, in the morning hours with radio host Gene Nelson.

I personally know two of the officials in this game. They were assigned to it because their ratings were so high.

'87 made up for '83. I grew up a Skins fan. Everyone knows how good the 83 team was and what happened vs the Raiders. Raiders had revenge on their mind after losing to Skins earlier that season. The blowout was a hard pill to swallow. Fast forward 4 years. The Skins had all kinds of O probs that year. Not SF. What a lucky break 49ers go down to Vikings in what many still think is the greatest playoff upset ever. The door somehow opens for Skins to host NFC title game - and then of course we all know what happened vs Denver. Talk about stealing one!! '87 was redemption for '83. The '83 team was way better. My guess is had they lost that regular season game to LA instead of winning it their mindset in the SB would have been totally different.

I do wonder if Dwight Clark had played would that have tipped the game in favor of SF. Those defensive penalty calls still sting today. Redskins were 10 point favorites which I find a little over-the-top even when taking into account the 14-2 season, smacking the Rams the previous week, and the 49ers escaping with a win against the Lions.

I wonder what would have happened had the 49ers won and played the Raiders ? No longer a Bay Area Superbowl, but would have been an intriguing matchup.

[@richardmahfouz4392]

They would have won, Montana doesn't lose Super Bowls....

@@GameDog-ql6pv Dude, TT Toliver played arena football at age 46. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl at 45. John Glenn went into space at 65. Buzz Aldrin is 93 and just jogged in a 5K. Rice was the best and age never played a part. In fact, Wilt Chamberlin could have been an All-Star at 50. Jordan could still play and would school half the players in the league. Brady could have played until he 65 years old but the emotional investment for him was no longer there.

The best was 85-86, 86-87 and 90-91 when Giants knocked SF out !!!

[@busydem6161]

The niners when this game if not for that pass interference call at the end on Charlie Brown , which didn’t happen, but after the Raiders kicked that but it should have been SF?? Should have been a Bay Area bowl!!! I lived in Maryland at the time after the skins took they whipped u couldn’t hear a pin drop!!

The NFL simply didn't want the Niners to play the raida in the Super Bowl. They were afraid of dead bodies in the bathroom.

If I was going to start a team. Joe Montana will be my quarterback. My backup would be Staubach or elway.

[@DoubeEdged7]

The niners didn't have Craig Rice or Taylor.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

They had Craig in '83 (rookie), but he was pretty much a non-factor in this game (3 carries for 3 yards, 3 receptions for 15 yards)

[@archangelmusic13]

that guy with the glasses mark may saying that game would have been over at the 49 mark is wrong, redskins would have had to settle for a field goal again and i bet he would have missed it again.
