Watching Myles Garrett destroy his career and his team's season, evoked some distant memories to this 49er Faithful:

Myles should be in jail, that is assault and he could have split Mason's head open. I believe he should be done, kicked out of the NFL, jailed, no pension, CYA. There is no place for that type of thuggery in the League

One of them wrote an article about it, so there's at least one that still remembers.

Were gonna lock you up, youngin. Know your history, know the Niners roots. I didn't know about this but learning isn't a bad thing, no?

I was just having fun with how far back we had to go to get to the next level of insane. Yeah this definitely sounds like a full on riot. Crazy!

With teams exchanging vicious hits throughout the first half, in the third quarter, Eagles WR Bobby Walston made the mistake of exchanging blows with Charlie Powell, who quickly subdued him. At the same time, two Eagle players took off their helmets and attacked beloved 49er HOF RB Hugh McElhenny.

Enraged 49er fans stormed the field, and what followed was a 15-minute melee that could easily be called a riot. Officials were overwhelmed and unable to stop the brawl until the 49er band played the "National Anthem," and everyone finally stopped swinging and came to attention.
