Chris Doleman too

1997 was the first year that they started using the score/time graphic constantly on the screen.

Merton Hanks had the best celebration dance

Only Everson Walls has more career interceptions on Monday Night Football

Man thank you for posting this game! I love the 49ers of old days and the MNF crew is the one I loved the best! It's great to watch real football

Damn these commercials make me feel old. Now know how my dad felt when he saw things from the 60’s when I was a kid.

These old cell phone commercials really show how far technology has come

I know 1997 feels like the dark ages now, totally different compared to now

those 49ers teams from the 90s…so many memories, seems like every single year they were always in the conversation to come out of the NFC, even in those years when they were battling with either Dallas or Green Bay; that slow, surgical ten-minute drive in the 4th quarter to kill the Panthers’ momentum and seal the game was impressive

Thanks for the game

The Panthers defensive coordinator in 1997 was Vic Fangio. Who would've thought over 25 years later that NFL defenses of today are trying to emulate a defensive scheme that is designed to stop the high powered passing offenses of today using a cover shell defense scheme designed by Vic Fangio. It was kind of a shame that it took Vic Fangio over 20 years after this game was played for him to eventually become an NFL head coach. IMO, he kind of got a raw deal in Denver, not having enough time to turn this around despite having 3 seasons as Broncos head coach finishing with a 19-30 record.

This was revenge for 1996, the 49ers self destructed in that Dec game at Candlestick the yr before against the Panthers

Thanks for sharing this one. Garrison Hearst and the 49ers went off on the Panthers this night, and took back the division in 1997 with a 13-3 vengeance.

This team should have gone to the Super Bowl.

Yep it still just doesn't seem right. So many stars and hall of famers all over the field for them that year. I believe there's an argument to be made that 97 was the best team they ever had. And all the recent wins against Green Bay don't come close to making up for all those years during my childhood when the Niners just could not beat them. Even the year after this when they finally "won" against them I couldn't enjoy it because it only happened when they blew the call on the Rice fumble. I still can't stand the fudge packers.

@@bobross1550 It was just hard to see how this 49ers team could beat the Packers with Rice re-injured and Hearst also out. Not enough offense. (Similar to the previous year when they had to face the Packers with Steve Young injured.)

​​@@bobross1550Good team, but not the best team they ever had regardless of the name talent around. Rice was basically out the entire season. Hearst later got hurt. 49ers also got blown out at KC, and SEA. Most of their SB teams make '97 an afterthought.

Thanks, Jamie. I have been looking for 1997 49ers games, especially this one, for a while!!

thank you JJ!!

That Lucent commercial is wild. I keep forgetting the internet got popular in the 90s

It became popular in the 90’s, and the past decade or so, it’s become seemingly everything.

RIP Kevin Greene, Chris Doleman & Frank Gifford 🙏 🙏

What a time.... obviously you have Steve and T.O., but Merton Hanks and Bryant Young man. Just jumping off the screen in every one of your videos.

I actually like when uploaders leave commercials in these old games. Normally because I think it's interesting how you can see or hear a few seconds of a commercial you haven't seen in 30 years and it instantly comes back to you. But the Sprint commercial at 2:25:08 is one I had never seen before and even though it might as well be ancient history now, it just does me some good to see George Seifert, who'd just been fired after leading the Niners to the super bowl 2 years earlier, appear in a good-natured commercial with Mariucci who had just replaced him. That shows a quality in George I'm not sure I would have had if I had been in his situation. Also insinuating that he was still calling the shots for the 49ers while relaxing at the beach was kind of funny. I always thought Seifert got pushed out a little unfairly, and felt the same way about Mooch when his time came. Jim Harbaugh too many years later. Anyways thanks for the upload, I watch these old games like movies. Just never had seen that commercial before and thought it showed a really nice moment between two coaches who could understandably have some hard feelings towards each other.

Kevin Greene debut with the 49ers against his former team the Panthers.

before Carolina joined the league there were 14 teams in each conference, so the divisions were 5-5-4. instead of moving teams around they put them in the West which had been the one with 4 teams

if you have any 1996 carolina panthers game , really looking for that 1996 Week 1 Falcons @ Panthers , 1996 Week 4 49ers At Panthers and 1996 Week 11 N.Y. Giants @ Panthers .. also been looking for 2003 Week 10 Buccaneers @ Panthers , If you have any of these games please upload them Thanks! :)

College Football is now in need of a similar geography lesson. Mostly for California and Stanford in the ATLANTIC Coast Conference.

Ah yes, Carolina was supposed to take over the division that night. That didn't happen.

Carolina lost this one, but weeks later won in Dallas
