2. Why didn't head coach Forrest Gregg or the offensive coordinatior get Ken Anderson to use a play-action pass or a fade-out to his tight end Dan Ross, who was burning the 49er defense at the time with what would be eleven receptions, 104 yards, and two touchdowns in Super Bowl XVI. I would think that if you have a player who is doing well against the defense, you go to that guy for a big play.

When I watch the 49ers goal-line stand, there are some questions that boggle me about the Bengals offensive decisions in that series (other than the bad blocks):
1. Why is David Verser (a wide receiver) in the goal-line offense? The Bengals had three tight ends on their team (Ross, Harris, and Bass). Why wasn't Don Bass there in that situation as a third tight end? With a third tight end, the Bengals would of had more muscle and power in getting their backs in the end zone.

Best, most exciting game in SB history. Bengals made critical mistake at opening and seemed to invite a route. Then an incredible Anderson-led comeback that "should" have won it, except for 2 missed blocks and Pete Johnson not carrying his load. Most memorable moments: 1. late Collinsworth long-ball reception amidst the fog (sheer beauty); 1. Anderson walking off the field with his son on his shoulders, gracious as always, a winner even in defeat.

Montana was a relatively minor factor, his statistics dwarfed by those of Ken Anderson. At this stage Montana was a dink and dunk quarterback in the Wash system, while Anderson was launching perfectly thrown spirals with pin-point accuracy against an admittedly superior defense. Look at Anderson's grit under fire and a 20-0 score deficit, and then the score at the end of the game in spite of the goal-line stand above. Anderson's career #s are better than most HOF qtrbks! And he could run.

Both SB's between the Niners n Bengals were Great. Cincy gave it their all in both games, but SF simply would not be denied. Easily the Greatest goal line stand in SB history. Niners always seemed to be the team coming through in the clutch wether it be on offense or defense,- simply the Greatest. Much respect to the Bengals.
