Enjoy this spectacular beatdown made even better because at the time I was a 17 year old living in the SF Bay Area.
As always, Summerall and Madden on the call.

over the 1985 WC game and this game, Giants mauled them by a combined 66-6.
That was me. No way the Giants weren't going to kick the crap out of them that day.

I have heard 49er fans go...'If Rice doesn't drop the ball, it's a different game.' Haha. I don't know who said it, but someone said about that, 'Yeah. The final would have been 49-10 instead of 49-3.

I think Bill Walsh said it
Pat: "Good idea."
Yup, as great as LT was, that game was the beginning of an unbelievable playoff run by Banks. He was just dominant
We have reasonably cost them 2 titles.
That’s awesome...looked like a very cold, windy day, perfect for Giants football. Always loved hearing Summerall and Madden comment in those years about how much Giants fans appreciate good defense
my sophomore year at VCU.
GOOD DAMN TIMES!
No doubt the 49ers stiffest competition in that era was us. We ended their season 3 times in the span of 5 seasons. The '90 49ers, in all likelihood, 3-peat if we don't beat them in the NFC title game.
It would have been 49-10.
