Summary:
"The
San
Francisco
49ers
entered the
1984
season
determined to erase the memory of their three point loss to the Washington Redskins in the NFC Championship Game the year before. Nineteen games later, they had not only won the Super Bowl, they had redefined NFL history by becoming the first team to win 18 games in a single
season
. Led by Hall of Fame head coach Bill Walsh and future Hall of Fame players Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, and Fred Dean, the
1984
San
Francisco
49ers
finished the
season
with just one defeat. A
Nearly
Perfect
Season
: The
Inside
Story
of the
1984
San
Francisco
49ers
chronicles the
story
of one of the greatest teams in NFL history. Through in-depth research and extensive interviews, Chris Willis details every aspect of this memorable
season
, from the preseason training camp through Super Bowl XIX.
Inside
stories from the
49ers
are brought to life in colorful detail, including Joe Montana s penchant for stealing teammates bikes during camp, the players pre-game superstitions, and what went on in the
49ers
locker room before Super Bowl XIX. In addition, Chris Willis had complete access to Bill Walsh s game plans and meeting tapes, revealing the intense preparation the coach and his staff went through to give their team the greatest chance for success on the field. Featuring original interviews with more than 30 players from the team including Dwaine Board, Roger Craig, Fred Dean, Keith Fahnhorst, Riki Ellison, Guy McIntyre, and Keena Turner and interviews with the coaches and the general manager, this book provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes account of a
season
to remember."--From publisher.
