The thing that caught my attention with the '99 Rams was they were very fast! In all phases. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. They had terrific team speed on all levels.
@@edwardwhite221 liar, Rams were fourth in the NFL in points allowed per game (15.1), first in run defense (74.3 yards per game) and tied for the league lead with 57 sacks. They also finished sixth in takeaways with 36 and scored eight defensive touchdowns.
So issac Bruce had a 1995 season where he had 1781 yards, that would have led the league any other year except for the fact jerry rice had 1815 which was the record until megatron broke it.
I'm a Rams fan and miss Candlestick park! It was so fun watching the games on FOX cuz they always had the aerial view of the ocean, stadium, bridge and the city of SF. It felt like you were there now it's in soulless corporate stadium in the middle of Santa Clara, completely different vibe.
Not to mention SF's defense was Swiss cheese in '99. Their offense wasn't too bad. Heck, Jeff Garcia even had a couple good seasons with the 49ers tossing it to T.O., but Garcia definitely isn't Steve Young. Garcia's wife is still in her prime tho... ;)
This game was the marking of the changing of the guard where the 49ers after starting 3-1 would lose 11 of their final 12 games to finish the 1999 campaign 4-12 for their first losing season since the strike-shorten season back in 1982 and their 12 losses were the most losses by a Niners team since 1979.
Amazingly this was the only time that regular season that the Rams ever played in the 4ET time slot (and it was only because it was on the West coast) and the only time that a network's top announcers did one of their games. Didn't have any appearances on Sunday or Monday nights. People who didn't have Sunday Ticket only really ever saw them on the highlight shows.
What a missed opportunity for the NFL. Man I miss real football. With all the great things the Rams are doing in offense, the thing that jumps out more to me is just hitting is aloud. It's both ways, you catch the ball your gonna take a shot. Half the guys on the ground are still at least taking contact because the whistle hasn't blown. Faulk or the Niners back are getting a few decent runs but either finishing the run or getting hard by a guy or two. It's football no constant flags for hitting receivers or bumping the Quarterbacks. We all know dirty hits, no one wants them, but you can't destroy the game. Bug hits or hard hits don't mean dirty hits.
Because of the historical 15-1 season the Vikings had in '98, they were on a ton of primetime games in '99. Besides the Rams, i didn't even see the defending NFC Champion Falcons in primetime either.
Just like in 01 when it was Favre Vs Warner in the disvsional round the shoot out was on. The Rams defense felt so disrespected so they went out and picked him 6 times and returned 3 of those picks for TD,s
@@c.j.9072 That game would've been pretty sweet if it were in Green Bay because the Packers had not lost a playoff game at Lambeau yet. Also that game is why I was worried about the Pats chances in Super Bowl 36. Everyone forgets the Rams defense was on fire. I was sure the Pats could make it close like the regular season game but not THAT :o
McCleon shouldn't have been whistled down on contact after that last pick...he had gotten up knees and all when that Niner grabbed his jersey...that was a pick six he got screwed out of lol
Which is very surprising considering the Rams played at Tennessee on Halloween when both were undefeated. Instead Pat and John did the Cowboys/Colts game at Indy
No one thought the Rams would be good before the season started. Pat and John were the #1 broadcast pair for Fox. The broadcast schedule is completed before the start of the season. Plus, considering the Rams-49ers being long-time rivals, Pat and John regularly called a lot of these match-ups regardless of their records.
The Rams-Titans game was probably Fox's main early game as their number 2 team of Dick Stockton and Matt Millen called it. Normally in a doubleheader week the number one crew will call one of the late games.
Pat and John did a lot of Viking games that season, being that the Vikings went 15-1 in '98 and tore up the league with a historically explosive offense.
I believe Garcia's arm had stopped moving when the ball was knocked out of his hand. Either way, the tuck rule was the biggest bullshit rule I've ever seen. Both Garcia and bitch Brady fumbled the god damn ball!
Az Zahir Hakim was fun to watch he was either gonna do something mind blowing good or mind blowing bad it hurt so bad when he muffed that punt in New Orleans in 2000 there was no doubt he holds on to the ball We go down and win that game. I wanted it to be the Rams Vs Ravens that year in the Superbowl Rams best offense ever against that Ravens D.woukda been a good one
He was 4th on the depth chart. Favre, Brunell & Ty Detmer (Detmer won the heisman & was ahead of Brunell on the depth chart, they kept Ty frickin detmer instead of Brunell...). Kurt was only okay in NFL Europe, but he learned how to think fast in the arena league.
"Wait until we get you at home" cried the 9er fans after seeing their beloved team get destroyed earlier in STL. This is the result LOL. The Ram's Kurt Warner (the 9er killer) went undefeated (5-0) when he started vs the 9ers. Not even the great Montana could say that vs the Rams.
First off...Montana played more games vs the Rams then Warner did vs the 49ers as a Ram...and we beat him when he played for the Cardinals...so good job beating a team with No Steve Young, Garrison Hearst and a rookie starting quarterback...would u like a medal for this win? You beat a 4-12 team...good for you lmao
@@keith3819 again...good job...lmao...I guess I should boast about all those times we beat the shit out of you guys when we won 17 games straight against you...one game was a certain NFC championship where we kicked you tails in 33-3....3 points is all your pathetic rams could score....Lmao
@@The49ers82 Wow, man. I didn't mean to trigger you so badly. But we were specifically speaking about this one game, no? I mean, we can go back and forth about who beat up who back in the past. But, try to stay on topic, if you can. You just tried to rationalize this loss by citing injuries, your team's crappy record, etc. Well, I could easily do the same thing for that ancient 17-0 run you had back in the stone age. Look, just face the facts that the Niners got their asses handed to them in this game, excuses are for knuckleheads. If you want to go off topic, feel free to bring up other years when the Niners beat the Rams, but that's just being a poor sport. Go ahead and make a video of a game where the Niners beat up the Rams, and I will gladly admit the Rams got thumped, without giving paltry excuses.
@@keith3819 yes we had a rookie quarterback and no solid running attack because our main runner was injured...imagine if Faulk wasn't playing and you had a rookie qb...I guarantee you that excuses would come
1999 what a sad year for the 2 sf sports teams beginning first with the retirement of steve young of the 49ers😥😥 and then the departure of the sf Giants from candlestick what a very sad but memorable year for the Bay Area ! 😥😥
It was pretty much an end of an era to the once dominant 49ers team in 1999 with Young retiring at the end of the season, and Rice past his prime. As for the Rams, with that high powered GSOT offense, they could have been a dynasty after winning their Super Bowl later that season, had they not lost to a young Tom Brady and the New England Patriots two years later, along with Warner and Faulk getting injured in their later careers.
Did you watch that SB? How many times did the Pats ride Ike, Holt & Az 15 yards downfield? How many times did they tackle Marshall behind the line, before the ball got there? The refs beat them, easily, with help from Martz not even trying to run the ball against a 3 man front!
St. Louis didn't deserve this team. Georgia Frontiere tried to milk money out of this team as much as possible which is why they ended up in St. Louis.
The thing that caught my attention with the '99 Rams was they were very fast! In all phases. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. They had terrific team speed on all levels.
Yes, they introduced the speed element in every area
Weak schedule
Defense was so fast it only gave up 40 points a game. They outran the plays
@@edwardwhite221 liar, Rams were fourth in the NFL in points allowed per game (15.1), first in run defense (74.3 yards per game) and tied for the league lead with 57 sacks. They also finished sixth in takeaways with 36 and scored eight defensive touchdowns.
Man rams defensive was as good as their offense back then
Isaac Bruce was an underrated version of Jerry Rice.
Tbh i cant lie not cause of the same number but damm he ran similar routes
He was a great wide receiver...but he is no Rice.
Don’t ever put those two names in the same sentence again. Thank you
So issac Bruce had a 1995 season where he had 1781 yards, that would have led the league any other year except for the fact jerry rice had 1815 which was the record until megatron broke it.
@@anthonycristofani6856 DITTO !
I believe this was the only game in the regular season where most of the country got to see the Rams that year.
Rams fan. My first game in person. Got spoiled with that offense.
Yet another great defensive display by the Rams in this game. Thanks Daniel , saludos from Mexico
Raul Fernando Castillo this was the 1st in win SF for the Rams since the 1990 season.
For the first time since 1980, the Rams defeated the 49ers twice in on season.
I was at this game! Scalped 40 yardline tickets 12 Rows up from the field! One the the greatest moments of my life! I was 16 at the time!
Do you remember how much?
@@johnphilpot5205$80 a ticket

The greatest show on grass
No Steve Young no Garrison Hearst and Jerry Rice past his prime. The 49ers were never same after the 1998 season.
Not to mention SF's defense was Swiss cheese in '99. Their offense wasn't too bad. Heck, Jeff Garcia even had a couple good seasons with the 49ers tossing it to T.O., but Garcia definitely isn't Steve Young.
Garcia's wife is still in her prime tho... ;)
49ers were known cheaters. Had the San Francisco mob paying off the refs.
They were up against what was perhaps the greatest offense in history - the greatest show on turf.
@@donaldbarrett4454 - But it was the Rams defense that dominated this game.
And even if Steve Young was healthy all year this was probably a 8-8 or 9-7 team at best because of the bad defense as someone else pointed out.
This game was the marking of the changing of the guard where the 49ers after starting 3-1 would lose 11 of their final 12 games to finish the 1999 campaign 4-12 for their first losing season since the strike-shorten season back in 1982 and their 12 losses were the most losses by a Niners team since 1979.
Will never forget this amazing season!
But the best are more to come! Go Rams
.I was at this game, a long time Ram fan, Great Season and Super Bowl win.
I miss theses guys both sides of the ball,warner,bruce,holt,faulk,terrell,young,rice,gracia... 99 rams best offense ever

yup
I didn't even notice it until I read your comment. You're right though
The only time in the regular season the '99 Rams got Pat & John...
Which is very surprising considering the Rams played at Tennessee on Halloween when both were undefeated. Instead Pat and John did the Cowboys/Colts game at Indy
But Madden and Summerall did NFC division game vs Vikings and NFC Champ game vs Bucs

Fun fact at the beginning of this video- “All NFL games this week will be payed outdoors.”

Did anyone see the tuck rule when Garcia fumbled.

That only applies to Tom Brady. Besides, the Brady tuck hadn’t happened yet.

What the heck is a Steve Stenstrom?
Steve Stenstrom is a quarterback who played for Stanford University.
11:30 That was a good play by Mike Jones there probably the only memorable play from him in his entire career.

Nope.
The answer is possibly. It is possible that another person can name a more conceited/selfish/immature player. Good question.
He actually works very hard. Yeah he's a loud mouth, but never forget his performance in super bowl 39. He played his ass off on a crap ankle.
