NFL ‘94 SB Champs lost 40-8 in game 5 (...WhoDat suicide watch not needed) (1 Viewer)

About 5 years ago, I had a personal conversation with Merton Hanks, CB/Safety for the ‘94 Champions (49ers). He spoke very candidly about their game 5 (40-8) loss to the Eagles. I said: “That was an arse whipping, wasn’t it?” He said “No... that was a SKULL DRAGGING! It was awful! It also left us at 3-2 for the season.

Eagles Run Young, 49ers Ragged, 40-8 : NFC: Rookie Charlie Garner gains 111 yards, scores twice as Philadelphia hands San Francisco its worst defeat in eight years.

Quarterback Randall Cunningham and newcomer Charlie Garner rode roughshod over San Francisco's supposedly stellar defensive cast in a 40-8 beating Sunday that got so bad the 49ers all but conceded the game.

He went on to say that THAT game was their turning point, and they went on to win 10 of their remaining 11 to finish at 13-3. The rest is history. They rolled in the postseason, and won the Super Bowl over the Chargers 49-26.

The season is young... the Saints are a good team, and we’ll recover big time.

WhoDat!!!!!

The difference is they had Steve Young at QB

There was another team who got whipped and went on to win the Super Bowl last season.

And they had Tom Brady

Exactly. So comparing this team to the 94 49ers is a little silly

What if I told you we aren't the (94) 49ers.
