Dwight Clark / Raymond Berry / 1986 / Steve Young

If you haven't already be sure to check out the two post I've made on Clark and Berry

http://wokestool.blogspot.com/2018/03/raymond-berry-sb53-sacrifice.html

On 6/4 Dwight Clark passed away @ 61 years old

In my post about Raymond Berry, I thought he may be sacrificed for the upcoming season, so I wanted to see if there were any connections between these two

For those who don't know Berry was a wide receiver for the Colts and...
Coached the Patriots

From what I found there was only 1 game that Clark played in and Berry was the HC.

This was Week 15 of the 1986 Season
-1986 was the 67th NFL Season
--67 = 19th prime
SB53 will be played in 20(19)

The game was played on 12/14/86
The 49ers won vs the Patriots 29-24 (53)
The 53 total points jump out because SB53

Clark had had 21 receiving yards in the game
From Clark's bday (1/8) to the day he died was 21 weeks
The day he died left 210 days left in the year
21st prime = 73
2018 will be the 49ers 73rd season
In 1973 Berry was inducted in the Hall of Fame

The game was played 290 days after Berry's 53rd bday & 340 days after Clarks 29th bday
Berry was 34 years old his last season as an NFL WR (1967)
SB53 will be played on the 34th day of the year (2019)

Clark also had 61 catches during the 86' regular season
61 = 18th prime

Both teams would lose on the road in the Divisional Round of the playoffs
-Patriots lost to Denver: 22-17 (39)
-49ers lost to NYG: 49-3 (52)
(FYI:SB 39 & 52 Teams were Patriots vs Eagles)
Giants would go on to beat the Broncos in SB21, 39-20 (59)

Their final records in 86'
-Patriots: 11-6
-49ers: 10-6-1
49ers tie was with ATL Falcons that year...
-ATL is hosting SB53

Berry coached 87 regular season games
-Clark wore # 87
Clark most catches in the regular season was 82
-Berry wore # 82

Berry's last season as a player...
-Colts finished 11-1-2

On 11/12 there is only 1 NFL game
Giants play @ SF in Week 10
This date leaves 49 days left in the year
The game is also 11 weeks 6 days before SB53

Another thing that sticks out if both teams next game is against the Bucs
-SF- (10) Giants,(11) BYE, (12) Bucs
-NYG- (9) BYE, (10) SF, (11) Bucs

These teams BYE weeks being 9 & 11 sticks out
The Twin Towers Collasping got a obvious reasons but also...
From the Date of Clark 10th bday (1/8/67) to Berry last game (12/17/67) was 11 months 9 days & also 49weeks

Both teams next game against the Bucs stood out to me but I found it strange so I looked into it

Shortly after the 86'season ended the
49ers traded with the Bucs to get Steve Young
-Young would not become the full time starter until 1991
--He was 29 years old
-His first start that year was vs the Giants

The first playoff game Young appeared in was Clark's last game ever in the 87-88 season
-49ers lost to the Vikings 36-24

In 94' Young lead the 49ers to a win in SB29
Clark died 94 days before the 2018 started

Young last playoff game was played in 1999
-Clark was the 49ers General Manager this year
-49ers lost to ATL 20-18
-2018 is the NFL 99th season
—ATL is hosting SB53
Young's Final Playoff record: 8-6

In 1984 the followings events happened;
-Steve Young was drafted by the Bucs
-Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis
-49ers would win Superbowl 19
--They scored 82 points in the postseason
-Patriots started 5-3 fired their HC (Ron Meyer)
—Then Hired Berry and finished 3-5

Berry also has history with the Giants
He beat them in the 1958 Championship game...
Known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played"

Well see what happens, I don't want Berry to pass but to me it's not looking good for him

He will turn 86, 24 days after SB53
He turned 24 years old the year Clark was born
Since they have connections to the 86' season so maybe it won't happen until after SB53

A day it might happen is March 23
This date is 24 days after his 86th birthday
-The 82nd day of the year and 283 remaining
283 = 61st prime

That's making me think of the Patriots who have history with 28-3 & Atlanta
49ers lead the series vs the Patriots 8-5

Hmmmm possible SB53 matchup???


UPDATE: 6/15/18
I'm finding some parrells that connect Clark and Berry to former Dolphins & Colts HC, Don Shula.
Shula coached Berry on the Colts and coached The Dolphins against Clark/49ers in SB19
This was the last SB appearance for both Shula & Clark
One year later in SB20, Berry made his only SB (20/19)

In 84' Season Shula/Dolphins beat the Patriots
-Score: 44-24 (68/86)
The next week, Patriots fired Rob Meyer as HC then hired Berry

In 86’ Shula coached vs Berry 2X and Clark 1X
WEEK 4: 49ers defeated Dolphins 31-16
WEEK 5: Patriots defeated Dolphins 34-7
WEEK 16 Patriots defeated Dolphins 34-27

34's jump out at me but also..
Shula was outscored 99-50 in those games (149)
-149 = 35th prime (35 mirrors 53)

2018 will be the 99th Season and 53rd SB
SB53 will be played on the 34th day of the year

If you keeping score the 49ers out scored the Patriots & Dolphins 60-40 (6/4) in 1986
-6/4, the date Clark died on

The 86' Dolphins went 8-8
-Shula is currently 88 years old
Might have to keep an eye on him too

Another connection I found with these three men was the LA/St Louis Rams

12/17/67
The Rams defeated the Colts 34-10
-This was his last game in NFL as a player

12/24/89
The Rams defeated the Patriots 24-20
-Berry’s last game as an Head Coach

12/21/69
Colts defeat Rams 13-7
-Don Shula last game as the HC of the Colts

12/24/95
Dolphins defeat Rams 41-22
-Shula's last game regular season game as HC of the Dolphins

12/27/87
49ers defeat Rams 48-0
-Dwight Clark last regular season game as a TE for the 49ers

12/27/98
49ers defeat Rams 38-19
Dwight Clark was an a GM for the 49ers during the 1998 Season

All these games were the last week of the regula season

What a COINCIDENCE!!

I need to look into this more but wanted to document for now
