Those 49ers teams were more hated by Saints back then than the Falcon's Saint hate today.

We could never beat them. I remember a game where Steve Young was literally making fun of I believe Dikta on the sideline. Brees would never do something like that.

The only game I recall winning was a washed up 49ers team with an old Jerry Rice. We shut them down and Billy Joe Tollier played the greatest game of his life. Rest of them we got beat like a dog.

This really gets into it.

Joe Montana and Steve Young BOTH retired with undefeated records at the Superdome.

Young also had a complete undefeated record vs the Rams. The Rams managed to beat them in 1989 before getting waxed in the NFCCG that year. After that, it would be a whole 10 years before they finally beat the Niners again.

They owned the Falcons too, but some how some way, the new franchise Panthers shockingly had some key wins against the Niners and I think they swept them in 1996. Young's numbers never looked that good vs the Panthers for some odd reason while he would boast 100+ QBRs against us, Atlanta and the Rams.

We had some of the most heartbreaking losses to those old Niners teams. I will never forget 1991 when we played them at Candlestick and without Young, they had figured it out with backup Steve Bono. We could've beat them on the final drive, then Steve Walsh stupidly fumbles the snap and just stands there as they scoop it up and I think they returned it for a touchdown to rub it in our faces.

I think it was in 1998 or 1999 we had the game at Candlestick where one of the Billy Joes had a great game, and the game was tied 21-21 with 2 minutes to go and then we threw a pick six. That was a heart breaker cause we had them on the edge and forced them to tie it, but we still had a chance with 2 minutes left and before that pick six, Billy Joe was having a career game.


The only real reason for me that 2011 hurt so bad is because it was the freaking 49ers and I would've much rather lost to another team besides them that year. Losing to them just re-opened those wounds and old scars of the past. I never believed we were going to win it all that year and wasn't confident going into that game. We had a bottom 4 ranked defense and had feasted on blowing out cupcakes all year at home. We were coming off a playoff game where we pretty much struggled and gave up 28 points to Matthew Stafford. We actually struggled on the road that year losing to the Rams, Bucs and then nearly losing to the trash Titans. That 2011 team is the greatest example of how it don't matter how great your offense is, if the defense is garbage, they aren't going to win it all.

Wow, that was even painful for me to read. Ouch. First time I have ever felt sorry for them.

They are just Fans like us for the most part, however if the situation was reversed I doubt we would get much sympathy from the Dirty Bird Flock.

I remember a Saints-49ers game in the Superdome that a wide open Rice caught a deep pass and as he was running into the endzone and holding the ball with one hand and around the 10 yd line he fumbled the ball and it went out the back of the endzone and because the official was so far behind he couldn't tell it was a fumble and awarded them a TD.
