re: Why do Saints fans hate the 49ers?

basically what the Saints are doing to the Falcons now (ATL has a good, consistently playoff-bound team... the Saints are just better and beat them regularly)... that's what the 9ers did to the Saints in late-80s, early-90s... it was the 1st time the Saints had a darn good team (esp. the Dome Patrol D)... but SF was always just better w/ Montana, Rice et al... a lot of Saints fans still harbor that resentment... and will until their dying day... or at least until the Saints beat the 49ers in the playoffs

also as someone said above... the playoff loss in the 2011 season still stings heavily
