I remember the 49ers owning us all time. Our Dome Patrol was all we had back then to try to battle back. Man....I miss that defense. I still remember the Dome Patrol on the cover of Sports Illustrated. It said "4D" and had Mills, Jackson, Johnson and Swilling on it. Awesome.

I remember 1988, the year I married my lovely wife and turned her into a Saints fan. The Saints went 10-6, was tied for the 4th best record in the NFL, and didn't make the playoffs out of ten playoff teams. Five NFC teams tied with 10-6 records and both SF and the Rams had the tiebreakers against us.
