'92 Niners-Falcons: aka the "Jerry Glanville, how's my A$$ Taste?" Serie

I remember that last touchdown toss in '91. Really sucked. I couldn't believe we missed the playoffs. Thought it was a bad dream.

Wow, how things change, huh?

Ahhh, the days of yore. Too bad our fortunes have seemingly reversed.

What I remember about that second game in 91, after the Falcons had won, is one of those dirty birds running around the stadium with some sort of trophy, rubbing in the victory. They also claimed themselves to be the new kings of the West (back when Atlanta was somehow in the West). Not many victories, outside of ALL 5 SUPERBOWL TITLES, were as satisfying as those next two where we rubbed those birds noses in their own s**t.

What I remember is MC Hammer and Travis Trit roaming the Atlanta sideline

I remember that stupid 5 foot tall "California" trophy they had on the sidelines. The Falcons proclaimed themselves the state champions of California after they had beaten every team in CA the year before. They ended up carting that thing from the sidelines with a hand truck before the end of the game. The Niners were up by about 30 points at the time. Ahhh! The good old days!

The good old days I do miss them.

Before the 2002 realignment, did any team have to travel more miles than the 49ers during the regular season?

Not many. We had our share of early starts back then.

But it didn't matter if the Niners played at 10 AM or 1 PM. They were ALWAYS prepared. You could count on this team to come out of the gate FAST.

That began to change somewhat during the Mooch years -- albeit the team was still OK. It wasn't the powerhouse it had been -- but it will still pretty good. But those early road games -- I remember -- became a real struggle for us.

In the past five years? The team is still sleeping at 10 AM. They don't roll out of the sack until halftime. And they're just starting to brush their teeth when they finish at the wrong end of a 41-10 a$$ whuppin.

best 49er arse whooping that I recall was during the 89-90 season when Montana and Rice combined for 5 td's on the dirty birds secondary

Oh the memories. I remember that game in '91, they were running around like they won the super bowl. We owned their asses up until that year but those beatdowns in 1992 were just something else. I miss the days when beating the 49ers meant you had actually accomplished something. As opposed to now when you just show up and win.

oh man i was too young to remember this well but i do vaguely remember putting a drubbing on them. and just in general how we abused the nfl in the 80s and 90s was just soooo much fun. everyone got embarassed. good times indeed. i'd trade my memories of my first girlfriend for my memories of my first time being able to gloat about the 9ers dominance any day of the week. in deed.

Im for real, it doesent seem like that long ago! Unfortunatley it is

Yeah those were good times,didnt we win 18 in a row against the rams?I remember after that 1 game Dana Stubblefield saying same old sorry ass rams,that was some funny crap,ahhh good times.

Nice post, Chris049. I was suprised at how little hatred Atlanta garnered during the "team that jumps out at you on the schedule" thread. Between the '91 season and what they did to Garrison Hearst, I'd rather beat the Falcons than the Cowboys. Despite the heartbreakers in the '70's you were losing to Landry and what was a pretty classy club, losing to a dirtbag like Glanville was something altogether different.
