RIP Pat Summerall, John Madden, Bill Walsh & Sam Mills 🙏

Part of the great 49ers late-season surge of '88. Thanks for posting. :)

[@astrostar49]

Thanks, I was missing this from my 1988 49ers season. The quality looks good too :D

[@chrisorr4902]

49ers in 1988 started the season 5-5 and the season 10-6 and SUPER BOWL champions. It's not how you start, it's how you finish.

[@madrecka]

No they started 6-5 as they were 6-4 before losing to the Raiders 9-3 in week 11.

[@SuperFuck]

@@madreckaYep, Rice was PI on the last drive vs the Raiders, and was a no call. This team was up and down with too many close losses. They were 6-5 heading into that MNF game against the defending Super Bowl Champion Washington Redskins. The rest is history as they dominated pro football from that point on until the NFC Championship (1990 season) game against the NY Giants.

[@madrecka]

@@SuperFuck Yes sir. You're correct. That 1990 NFC Title game was painful at the end with Montana being knocked out and Craig fumbling

[@SuperFuck]

@@madrecka Very painful, and not even the first time either. Bill Belichick defenses almost ended Joe Montana’s career twice. The last 14 quarters of playoff ball, Joe Montana vs Bill Belichick NY Giants defenses, Montana was only able to get one TD and that’s when Everson Walls gambled. It went like this (as you already know), 1984 second half was zero points in a 21-10 win, 1985 was a 17-3 loss, 1986 was a 49-3 loss, and 1990 was a 15-13 loss. The main reason Tom Brady was great is he practiced everyday vs Bill Belichick defenses. No Belichick and the 49ers have another ring or two.

[@madrecka]

@@SuperFuck Yea you could say that Belichick figured out the West Coast offense by 1985 against SF in the NFC Wild Card. Yea that 1986 NFC Divisional Burt almost killed Montana on their way to win 49-3. I do remember the 1988 & 1989 Regular Seasons where Montana burned the Giants D.

[@stangman-mw4fl]

Saints fan since 1988 here... I can remember watching some of those older games thinking, damn we had an awesome defense. And our offense wasn’t bad, we just didn’t have an O.C. that was worth a damn. I still love my Saints though... Who Dat! ⚜️

[@brianshaughnessy4020]

The Saints' starting four linebackers in 1988 were as good as any LB corps in NFL history.

[@anakin.2956]

I'm ah Niners faithful all da way.... But the Dome Patrol, dayum!!

[@ramsareit]

Thanks so much...filling in my Saints collection.

[@NewOrleansGuy837]

same here... loving seeing my Saints from back in the day, even if they weren't always any good

[@madrecka]

Thank you posting this SF win over the Aints back in Week 15 in 1988....

Morten Andersen was not a grass kicker...showed up here, showed in Jacksonville in 1995, showed up in the Super Bowl.

I'm a true diehard saints fan back in the day I hate it playing againts roger Craig and jerry rice J Montana

[@NewOrleansGuy837]

we played those great teams so close, so many times... broke my heart every time we were on the brink of beating them, but found a way to lose... glad those days are over

[@madrecka]

@@NewOrleansGuy837 Those days are here now

[@NewOrleansGuy837]

not really.. Saints are just as good as the Niners... not like back then when there was a noticeable gap in talent between the two teams. This isn't a great Niners dynasty we are witnessing

[@madrecka]

@@NewOrleansGuy837 SF are defending NFC Champions heading into 2020.

[@madrecka]

Great post my 49ers stomped the Aints 30-17 on their way to NFC West Title, NFC Conference Title and their 3rd Super Bowl of the '80s......

[@judelloyd7907]

The Aints sucked back then, but the Saints are better than the 49ers this century.

[@kendallbossier5797]

Saints went 10-6 that season and finished in a three way tie for the division with the 49ers and Rams. Tiebreaker left them out of the playoffs.

[@joewanke6000]

@@kendallbossier5797 do you have anymore old saints games am interested in some of you do the saints played some youth teams in 2nd half like Giants like Vikings 49ers but they beat Rams and bronocs and lost to Redskins they started frist have 7 and 1 that season

@@judelloyd7907 49ers beat the Aints in the Dome in 2019.

[@Unkle_Mike]

did anyone figure out where that explosion came from?

[@peterbland7227]

Explain to me again why Roger Craig is not in the football HOF?

[@madrecka]

Craig should be in the HOF.

[@FromSouthforkTexas]

No doubt. Craig and Watters

[@thomasoaxaca3379]

He fumbled away 3-peat.

[@veritas1007]

To this day Roger Craig is The Best running back the 49ers ever had

[@tflo75]

no..i'd take Gore or Wendell Tyler ahead of Craig..i'd put Craig 3rd ahead of Watters only because he left the 49ERS after just 3 seasons.

[@madrecka]

@@tflo75 Craig and Wendell Tyler were on the same 84 49ers team that won Super Bowl 19 over the Dolphins in January 1985.

[@bw1190]

vertias1007. would say he the best pure back or all- purpose back or both.

[@markbrenes5189]

Craig should be in the Hall Of Fame .

[@wq113ca]

Not after that fumble against the Giants unforgivable

[@Atyler16]

Put Roger Craig in the HOF.

Describe your title better - that is just lazy what you wrote

[@kidmack3556]

I can't stand listening to Summeral and Madden (Aka Doom & Gloom) calling a Niner's game.

[@thomasoaxaca3379]

You're nuts. They are the best announcing team ever. They did a great job during the Niners-Broncos super bowl.

[@kidmack3556]

@Thomas Oaxaca Wrong! Lon Simmons & his microphone were the best announcing "team" ever. And that's for both Forty Niner and Giant's games. He was so great he didn't need some Has Been sitting next chair over incessantly running his gob about things like how much turkey the offensive linemen ate.

[@thomasoaxaca3379]

@@kidmack3556 I won't disagree with you regarding Lon Simmons. Now, can you tell me his favorite saying when McCovey would hit one out of the park???

[@kidmack3556]

@thomasoaxaca3379 Of course, I recognize Simmons' signature call without even thinking, but until looking it up just now, I always associated it with Mays' career. Thanks for providing the impetus for the research. I learned that McCovey was evidently one of Lon's favorite people. I also didn't remember that in 1989, Lon called games for both the Champion Forty Niners (of course!) but the Champion Oakland A's too. That was Lon for me, having a transistor/earphone at Candlestick and listening to him at home on my stereo and turning my television's volume knob completely off, same as a lot of the Faithful did.
