Holy. Fucking. Shit.
Jan. 6th, 2003 10:43 amSo. Wild-card opener. NY Giants, SF 49ers. Giants were sweeping the field. With 19 minutes remaining, the 49ers were down 24 points. And they're the worst fourth-quarter team in football, so everyone's going "no chance."
But then: Second greatest postseason comeback in the history of the NFL. No-huddle offense like unto the great 49ers games. And they took it, 39-38.
Wowzers. People may start thinking of Jeff Garcia as a real 49ers quarterback, even if he hasn't beaten the Packers yet. One of the best postseason games for a quarterback in 49ers history; people may have to start taking him seriously.
