RIP RUSS FRANCIS 🙏🏼🤍

Most underrated team of all time imo, literally a bad call away from perfection.

Trust me I have no love lost on the 49ers as a Dallas fan since 1977 lol,but that team takes a backseat to no one

As a Giants fan, I'd agree with that. Was a sensational team; Their defense that year didn't get all the credit they deserved.

RIP Russ Francis 😢

A skinny 3 point loss to the Steelers (who went to the AFC Title Game) is all the separated the 49ers from 19-0 It's amazing going into that Super Bowl everyone was saying "this will be the first of many for Marino" he never returned Bill Walsh really should've finished his career with 5 Lombardi's

"Hey Joe, next year I'm buying". Always felt sorry for Dan, that he never was able to get back there. Such a great passer

13:08. Oh jeez. That owner probably didn’t expect to have to do that FIFTEEN DAMN TIMES during the regular season! 😂😂😂

I remember visiting training camp in Rocklin that summer. I met Ronnie Lott, Russ Francis, Dwight Hicks and saw so many others. It was a great core memory traveling from the Sunset District in SF to Rocklin. It felt like we were driving across the country. Ironically, I now live just a few miles from that old training camp in Rocklin.

RIP Russ. I hope they found your watch.

It's ironic that Russ Francis died doing the thing he loved which was flying. RIP my friend.

Matt Cavanaugh was possibly the best backup qb Prior to Steve Young’s arrival

1984 49ers were unreal. One loss was very questionable. Montana was magic.

Best undefeated team in history.

They lost that Steeler game because of a bad call by the zebras.

Sometimes need a little luck to go undefeated; in '72, Dolphins got a break in a game at Minn. early in the year, on a questionable late hit penalty that lead to a score. It a shame a bad call could cost a team that.

That team was on a mission given what happened the year before in DC in that NFCCG v Washington and how they lost

I remember when they use to call Mr Francis All World Tight End.

Rest in peace Russ Francis

R.I.P. Russ Francis 🙏 ❤️

Remembering Russ Francis...A-L-O-H-A no, Russell!

This team was the best of all of them would have gone undefeated if it wasn’t for a back judge’s hilariously ridiculous bad call

The comment: In your search for perfection the problem is you never get there!

Wow. The Narrator is Gene Hackman

Think about the complete domination they had this season and it ridiculous they aren’t #1 all time. They didn’t lose the SB and didn’t need a massive trade to make ppl think they were dominant. Beat offense AND defense.

Weird hearing Francis talking about dying in a plane crash knowing that's how he went...RIP

best team ever. 85 bears? a pretty close 2nd.

18:10 Sean McVay's grandfather.

@15:19 And that's why you should never listen to the "draft experts". Montana (3rd round), Brady (6th round), Purdy (last pick in the draft). Being a great athlete and being a great football player are too entirely different things.

is steve from beverly hills 90210 the dude at 3.11 ?

Francis is dead? When and what of? He was the’84 version of Kittle

Russ Francis died on October 1, 2023 in a plane crash 😢.

25:14 Is he talking to Paul Hackett...?

This team would have beaten the 85 bears

Redskins fans always whine when reminded of the blatant bad calls that gave them the win in the 83 NFC Championship Game.

Probably the best 49er team of all time.

When anyone says the no San Francisco team has won a championship at home, it's BS. For all practical purposes, Stanford Stadium was the home field for the 49ers for that SB game, and it was in the Bay Area, just some 30 miles south of Candlestick Park. It's not unlike the 1975 Warriors having played two of the 1975 NBA Finals games at the Cow Palace instead of the Oakland Arena. That alone gave the NBA Championship of that year to San Francisco, not Oakland. No, it would be nice if the Giants could win a final WS game at home!
