I seem to recall that there was only a week between the championship game and Super Bowl that year, but I might be wrong.

And Joe was hurt in the Niners loss to the Giants.


That explains a lot

Somebody should've told the Bills.

Yes, it was only a 7-day gap that year.


Oops. Meant half dozen.

And I don’t blame Joe. I’m sure three decades later he still wakes up some mornings and instinctively tries to brush Candlestick sod off his tongue.


Jim Burt almost killed Joe in that game

Put him out of commission for a long time. Later, Burt became a Niner.

I recall Pat Summerall stating that the report on Montana from the 49ers sideline was that "everything hurts."


No, that was in 1986

by 1990 Jim was on the 49ers.


Yes, I know

I think he broke a bone in his throwing hand in that 1990 game. My thought was the Niners would have won if he was able to finish. When you said Joe was hurt against the Giants, I flashed to the more memorable hit that put him on the shelf for the game and the entire next (1987) season.


Joe played the entire 87 season

(besides the strike games that he missed). he missed the 91 and most of 92 season with an elbow injury. That's when Steve Young got his chance. he sat out half the year in 1986 due to a back issue and Jeff Kemp (son of former Bills qb and famous politician Jack Kemp) started the majority of the other games, along with a guy by the name of Mike Moroski (or something like that; former UC Davis qb).


Ironically...Jim Burt went to Orchard Park High School.

Also home of the Buffalo Bills. I've watched the Norwood kick once. And that play will never grace these eyeballs again...
