Mark Vader Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 He lead the Vikings in that huge upset over the 49'ers in the 1987 divisional playoffs. That was probably the biggest upset that the Bill Walsh era 49'ers ever suffered. RIP Wade Wilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Wade Wilson The biggest upset was the Niners losing to the Giants in the 1990 NFC title game, Joe got taken out by Marshall and Young couldn’t hold on to the lead. Then the Gs beat the Bills in a bigger upset. Edited February 2, 2019 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityRoller Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 always considered Wilson and Gannon in the same class in the late 80's and 90's. Good journeymen QBs that can make a run if the rest of the team is good. Keenum and Foles remind me of them a bit. Either way 60 is young. RIP Wilson family.

The Vikings upset in '87 came out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
