49ers Year-by-Year

49ers' Year-by-Year: 1990

In this week's edition of the 49ers' Year-by-Year, we follow the 49ers through their 1990 season. Coming off of their second consecutive Super Bowl victory, the 49ers were looking to be the first team in NFL history to win three in a row. Their success during the '80s had transformed the team into a dynasty, but how would the '90s treat the franchise? Read on to find out.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1989

This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers 1989 season. 1989 ushered in a new age for both the NFL and the 49ers, but how would it affect the product on the field? How could George Seifert possibly fill the shoes of Bill Walsh? 1989 would end up being one of the most memorable years in 49ers history. Read on to see why.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1988

This is a brief historical summary of the San Francisco 49ers' 1988 season. The 49ers had just been catapulted out of the playoffs by the Vikings, and the health and longevity of Joe Montana was as much as question as ever. How would they deal with the devastating loss? How would they handle the growing controversy surrounding Stave Young, Joe Montana, and the starting job? What can you learn about Kezar Stadium that you didn't already know?

49ers Year-by-Year: 1987

This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers' 1987 season. 1986 hadn't been a disaster, unless you hold yourself to the standards that the 49ers did. They had eeked into the playoffs and eeked out shortly thereafter. Thanks to key injuries, they had been exposed on the offensive side of the ball (of all places) and - worse yet - couldn't be sure how long Joe Montana's somewhat precarious health would hold up. How would they deal with it? Read on and find out.

Also, the Player Profile section has been replaced by the new Historical Profile section. This week I have taken the time to profile a former player. Go figure.

49ers Year-by-Year: 1986

This is a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers' 1986 season. Following the disappointment of the frustrating 1985 season, how would the 49ers respond in 1986? What exactly did Bill Walsh do in the draft that made it stand out even against a history of great drafting? With Joe Montana's career on the line, what would come of the team? And why, exactly, haven't I figured out how to fill the gap left by the now defunct Player Profile?

49ers Year-by-Year: 1984

I would like you to enjoy a brief historical recap of the San Francisco 49ers' historic 1984 season. After 1982 and 1983, the 49ers were still a team without a definite or recognized identity as a true league power. They felt differently in their hearts, however, and this will show you how that determination, fire, and - well - sheer superiority of coaching and talent, played out to establish, once and for all, the dominance that they knew they were capable of.
