Game #1 – 90’ San
Francisco 49ers vs. 80 Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers
(1980-1990 HC: Chuck Knoll, SB: 0, SBW: 0, DT: 2, REC: 86-82): During the ‘80’s
the Steelers were coming off a decade in the 70’s where they were a perennial
powerhouse. They won a couple of Super Bowls during that time and found their
head coach in Chuck Knoll. But during the 80’s they had a small fall from
grace. They didn’t win any Super Bowls in the 80’s heck didn’t even advance
beyond the Conference championship round (’84). But the Steelers were still a
power house in the ‘80’s with names like Lynn Swan and “Mean” Joe Green, Terry
Bradshaw and Jack Lambert. They were still a team to be feared in the AFC .
Even though we never got to see the proverbial passing of the torch from the
Steelers the team of the 70’s to the 49ers who were the team of the 80’s but we
almost got the matchup in the ’84 Super Bowl but the Steelers lost to the
Dolphins in the AFC championship game. But for tonight we are going to talk
about what if???...
San Francisco 49ers (1990-2000
HC: George Seifert/Steve Mariucci, SB: 1,SBW: 1, DT: 6, REC: 119-57): The
49ers had a pretty great decade in the 80’s and were looking to top it in the
90’s. Now Bill Walsh had already left the 49ers sidelines by the time the 90’s
came around. The 49ers had moved on to George Seifert (1989-1996) who led them
to their final Super Bowl in 1995 before departing in 1996. The 49ers the
proceeded to hire Steve Mariucci (1997-2002) who was a head coach at cal before
taking over the potent 49ers squad. He was able to lead them to the playoffs a
couple of times but never got them to the promise land. Seifert on the other hand
had a pretty successful career as a Niner Head Coach as he won over 75% of his games and won a
Super Bowl. He also successfully saw the transition from Joe Montana to Steve
Young and still keeping the standard high in 49er came. I think this would have
been an amazing matchup as the Steelers were made as a amazing defense and the
49ers a very potent offense only the
dreams know what should have happened in this game…
