'92 Niners-Falcons: aka the "Jerry Glanville, how's my A$$ Taste?" Serie | Page 2

For all the newer 49er fans who don't remember the good ole days of the NFC West, here's a little history lesson that I always remember whenever we play Atlanta. Chapter 37 of 49ers History: Don't **** with Steve Young Background info: In the 1991 Season, the Falcons and the 49ers both finished 10-6, however Atlanta ended up winning the division as they swept the 49ers in the season series (by a combined 5 points). As a result the Niners missed the playoffs for the first time since 1983. Just three weeks after losing 39-34 in SF, the 49ers had the lead on the Falcons 14-10. That's when Billy Joe Toliver (everyone should remember and hate him) threw this prayer of a ball 44 yards that somehow landed in Michael Haynes arms for the winning touchdown. Standard crushing defeat for today's 49ers, but that wasn't something we were used to back then. (Note: here's the 1991 Atlanta season rewind, which I'm sure shows both BS wins over the Niners, however I'm not sitting through 22 minutes of that garbage to find out where it is. It'll just make me angry) The Niners lost the following week to the Saints (no Steve Young?), and even though they went on to win out, they were left out of the playoffs. On the final week of the season, they took it out on the Bears, whooping them 52-14. The Bears were a playoff team. It was just a look at what was to come for Atlanta the next time these two teams played. 1992: There are very few acts of revenge in sports or movies that measure up to what the 49ers did to the Falcons in '92. This was payback of Keyser Soze proportions. Absolute annihilation. Meeting 1 took place during week seven at SF. The 49ers blitzed those dirty bird ******* and took a 42-10 LEAD AT HALFTIME. Think they were done? LOL at you. In the 3rd Quarter with the game well out of reach, the Niners (who still had all their starters in) ran a reverse to Jerry Rice - AND STEVE YOUNG WAS THE FIRST PLAYER OUT THERE TO BLOCK FOR HIM! The team is up by 32 points, and the starting QB is downfield putting a hit on the linebacker?! Yo are you serious?!!?! Oh and Apparently, 39 points wasn't enough, so Steve Young hit Brent Jones for a 4th quarter touchdown pass to make the score 56-10. Falcons got a late game score (final 56-17: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199210180sfo.htm) that apparently pissed SF off so much that they vowed NOT to let them in the endzone for round 2. Round 2 in the newly minted Georgia Dome. SF takes a more systematic path to destruction this time, deciding to spread the punishment out over four quarters. Nothing too noteworthy except the final 41-3 (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199211090atl.htm). Two games final: 97-20. Hey Jerry Glanville - HOW'S MY *** TASTE?! Highlights are in here somewhere: http://www.hulu.com/watch/124117/team-highlights-1992-san-francisco-49ers?team=san-francisco-49ers&show=3824#x-4,v,1,0 In conclusion, this is hilarious and is going to make me feel better before and after this Sunday which I'm sure will get ugly. Good for you if you read this far.

Never took the Falcons seriously, actually. If anything, I was kind of glad that we were getting at least some competition in the NFC West. Didnt we break the record (or close to it) for most consecutive wins against a team (Rams) ?

For what its worth, we did a number on them the year we got Deion. Who can forget the epic Deion-Andre Rison girl fight, followed by Deion's 93 yard INT return for a TD while mocking the ATL coaching staff on the sidelines.

PS - I loved those white outfits the Niners wore that season.
