San Francisco 49ers Tickets
In 1946, the San Francisco 49ers entered professional football as a member of the All-American Football Conference. On the dissolution of the league in 1949, the San Francisco 49ers, along with the Baltimore Colts and the Cleveland Browns were granted to join the National Football League. The 49ers struggled on their first season in the NFL, but after the losing on the opening game of the season, the 49ers won three consecutive games against the Bears, Rams and Packers. 49ers owner Tony Morabito, suffered a heart attack in the middle of the game. The Players knew of the death after the half and dedicated the game for the late owner. The 49ers scored 21-17 and sealed the victory.
After the team posted the league’s worst record of 2-14, the new head coach Bill Walsh and a skilled rookie Joe Montana from Notre Dame led the 49ers to a period of unprecedented success. Bill Walsh won the Coach of the Year title for guiding the San Francisco 49ers to a 13 regular season win and defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XVI. National Football history called it as “The Catch”, when Montana threw a touchdown pass to Dwight Clark that won them the NFC championship.
The San Francisco 49ers finished 5-11 last season, disappointed from the failure to improve the 7-9 record in 2006. Head coach Mike Nolan will try to rebuild the 49ers’ tenacious offense, which they are known for, by bringing Mike Martz on the team. They will face the 2008 season with running back Frank Gore and Vernon Davis on tight end.
It would not be that much of a surprise if the San Francisco 49ers makes it to the playoffs this season. It is hard to put the 49ers down for a long time even though it is almost five seasons since they posted a winning record. Could quarterback Alex Smith carry the Niners and emerge as a star?
