Oh no doubt. It was a less technological era and more of "it is what it is" type of mentality. I dig that. All the modern flashy scoreboards and crazy digital stuff distract from the game itself.
This was a classical feud! John Riggins was a BRUISING running back! He could pull 5 or 6 guys for 5 yards! LT was fast, elusive, and extremely talented! You couldn't stop him, just pray you could contain him.
1:32:30 The Diesel! #44 Rumbles for 44 yards with #39 Otis Wonsley throwing a great block similar to Super Bowl 17. Wonsley's block for Riggins in SB17 is a forgotten part of that play.
@@archangelmusic13 I don’t think so. People forget Mosley missed FOUR field goals earlier in the game. So they should have been up 33-0 if not more when the 49ers started clicking. Watch that game again and that shows you the Skins were moving the ball all day and just didn’t finish and the defense was stopping the 49ers all day until the fourth quarter.
This game is Parcells greatest coaching job ever. The performance by the giants as a team doesn't happen in this day and age. Lawrence Taylor is the best linebacker to ever play and this game is one of his best if not thee best. There are several players who could be single out for their performance in this game, Joe Morris, Jeff Rutledge were great but this day belonged to Taylor and number 44, the diesel, John Riggins. This game was also Pat Summeral and John Madden showing why they're the best. When Summeral says "Joe Morris bangs down inside the five" Or Madden saying. "You can call it whatever you want but where I come from that's a fumble" I could write a book about this game. Thank you very much for posting.
Really? I hope Parcells would be known for more than this. Hell, Theismann tried to throw them the game and they wouldn't take it. Glad WR got the win and knocked Dallas down officially to wild card. The 9ers nailed them two days later, and the Rams sent them packing the following week. We didn't know then that Tom Landry would never win another playoff game.
@tracyisbest really? Are you a female? I'm referring to the fact that the giants fought their asses off the entire 60 minutes despite this game have no significance to them. You're babbling on about the rams & 49ers to which I have no clue what you are trying to say.... In other words talking in circles like some woman.
1:42:05 Madden breaks down the play. Fake "Counter Tre" Bootleg Pass with #73 Mark May pulling out to left and passing to Don Warren. The Giants really bit on the fake to Riggins. Those were great times listening to Madden and Summerall.
@@tommyparkerparker I've been binging on these old games and my appreciation of how awesome these two keeps growing. If it isn't MNF with Cosell or Summeral and Madden I but next. Oh yes, the worst goes to Musberger and Bradshaw....
For me its.. 1. Summeral & Madden 2. Gifford, Meredith & Cosell 3. Buck & Stram Bantering between Cosell and Meredith is the one thing that really made them almost as good as Summeral & Madden
Saturday game December 17 1983 the last game of what could have been could have been the greatest team of all time 1983 Redskins then came Super Bowl XVIII
You guys really need to bail on your so-called "greatest of all time" teams. 1983 Cornhuskers (and Auburn Tigers while we're at it), 1983 Redskins, 2007 Patriots, 1986 Miami Hurricanes, 2011 LSU. Guys....you had your shot. It's DONE, get over it.
This game is often overlooked being sandwiched between the Dallas game and the playoffs but it was one of the best games of the season, final score was misleading, rewatching as many of the 83 season Redskins games as I could find and I noticed how quickly Darryl Greene came along and how much they missed Joe Washington when he was not available but the thing I liked best about this one was when the Giants scored to open the second half and threatened to take control of the game Gibbs didn't go into the catch up mode and air it out, he took control back by pounding Riggins truly great coach, PS I am sure Giants fans are universally glad they didn't fire Parcels after the season
I think this was Parcells best coaching job of his career... to get his team to put out the effort the giants do is incredible, it doesn't happen this day and age. I'm surprised several player on both sides didn't need to be carried off at the end.
@@DanDan-xj8ox Parcels and Gibbs for that matter, had no tolerance for lack of effort even if the backups were in they better be playing hard regardless of the score
Gibbs came from the 'Air Coryell' system but he coached more like Lombardi in that he ran a basic offense centered around running the football and believed that if you executed the plays correctly, it didn't matter that the defense knew what was coming.
Didn't realize that the Redskins were the first NFC team to win 14 games in a 16 game season. Of course, the 49ers and the Bears improved on that in successive seasons.
I love your thumbnail Profile picture. The 1975 NY Giants logo is my FAVORITE! IT NEEDS TO COME BACK! I had to subscribe! Great game, thank you! I know whenever the Packers play a division rival records are irrelevant. I've seen a 3-9 team come in and beat a 10-2 team, or I've seen them play to the wire! Either way great NFL Feuds are the BEST games to watch! I've been a Packers fan my whole life, but I am also a NFL Fan as well and NOTHING beats a great rivalry game!
10:40 not a memorable play for most but plays like this is what elevates Darrell Green from great cover guy to great all around corner. Green would lay a hit if he had to and do a good job of it.
i watched this game in Tulsa Ok....remember thinking...poor Giants....another hapless coach...Bil Parcells....The giants had stunk for 13 years in a row.
Joe Theismann should've never had any passing plays involving 7 step dropbacks. His arm was not strong enough to throw from back there. He should've only had 3 step dropbacks. Would have had a ton more career passing yards.
It was always a treat to have Pat Summerall and John Madden announcing Redskins game!! I miss that..............
the best days of watching the NFL on CBS
No doubt. THE BEST!!!!
The absolute best!! 💯
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY TIME GOES FAST, IM HOME SICK FOR THESE DAYS OF FOOTBALL
Exactly. I dont even care what matchup I watch. I was a Cowboys fan but I'll watch a match up like this any day.
I think the 80’s was the best decade for the NFL
Oh no doubt. It was a less technological era and more of "it is what it is" type of mentality. I dig that. All the modern flashy scoreboards and crazy digital stuff distract from the game itself.
Pat Summerall was put on this planet specifically to do football play-by-play.
He was the voice of god for the NFL !!!! Jmo. HTTR
Riggins vs LT
Parcells vs Gibbs
This stuff is like Patton vs Romel
Legendary times.
Don’t forget legendary broadcast duo John Madden and Pat Summerall are calling the game
This was a classical feud! John Riggins was a BRUISING running back! He could pull 5 or 6 guys for 5 yards! LT was fast, elusive, and extremely talented! You couldn't stop him, just pray you could contain him.
@@cmoney_5045 Well said! Those two were the iconic announcers of the 80's and 90's!
@@EdsterIII Commanders have no one like Riggins… haven’t for ~40 years
@cmoney_5045 they were always the soundtrack wene the two clashed HTTR
The good old days it's too bad the nfl isnt like this today
GAWD I MISS THE REDSKINS..the hell with The Commanders....Give me the Old Redskins anyday over any team they field today!!!!
Good news. The logo is coming back. Presumably the Redskin name will as well.
@ says who?
@@DS49er1 hey, if only the logo comes back I’d be thrilled… of course I wouldn’t object if they were the Redskins again too!😛
I'm not a Giants or Redskins fan I just love great games and this game is amazing. Thank you for posting.
It sure is.
Wow. A wonderful time in my life.
Yep me too old school
@@oliverferreirajr3616 The Golden Age of Sports.
Well alot there's no passion no more
These late season 1:00 games look so good. Low sun angle, long shadows, bright colors, cool weather, real football
The 1980's! The glory days of both the NFL and the USA!
1:32:30 The Diesel! #44 Rumbles for 44 yards with #39 Otis Wonsley throwing a great block similar to Super Bowl 17. Wonsley's block for Riggins in SB17 is a forgotten part of that play.
Great NFC East match up. Great rivals, great coaches and players
In 1983 the Redskins lost 2 games in the regular season, by a TOTAL of 2 points.
But that one shitty game they had all year though….🤦♂️
@@brianjungen4059 i dont think they played well vs the niners either, i think if the niners had dwight clark they would have won that game.
@@archangelmusic13 I don’t think so. People forget Mosley missed FOUR field goals earlier in the game. So they should have been up 33-0 if not more when the 49ers started clicking.

@@brianjungen4059 like i said the 49ers would have scored and moved the ball with dwight clark in the game.he was a big part of their offense

1. Summeral & Madden
2. Gifford, Meredith & Cosell

Back then when you tuned into a game and heard Summerall and Madden start talking you knew shit was about to get real.
Saturday game December 17 1983 the last game of what could have been could have been the greatest team of all time 1983 Redskins then came Super Bowl XVIII
no it wouldnt have been considered the greatest team even if they had won the sb, because they lost 2 games during the season

That Darrell Green is gonna be a star. Indeed he was. 20 years and then the Pro Football HOF.

This game has a version of the “tuck rule” near the end
Didn't realize that the Redskins were the first NFC team to win 14 games in a 16 game season. Of course, the 49ers and the Bears improved on that in successive seasons.

Great to see these games again can you see if you could get both of the cowboys vs redskins games of the 83 season that will be great.
1. This game was so exciting, I lactated
2. Joe Theismann is endlessly fascinating
3. John Madden’ll tell ya.
The Giants wouldn't win another game at RFK until 1986
And that win won the NFC East for the Giants in 1986 their first division title of any kind since 1963
10:40 not a memorable play for most but plays like this is what elevates Darrell Green from great cover guy to great all around corner. Green would lay a hit if he had to and do a good job of it.
Yes he was a steal as the 28th pick in the 83 draft.
Darrell Green was a warrior in this game and throughout his career.
Riggins and LT in there prime.
Redskins survived a really really bad call on the Rutledge fumble.
When ever i watch these games from the past it makes me both nostalgic,happy and with a sense of f--k you DS.
Redskins first 14 game winning season.
Isn't ironic that Rutledge would become a Redskin as a backup QB and win a Superbowl Ring in 1991
So you have Redskins at Giants 1983?
Not on vhs, I gotta look for my dvd of it
@@giants6025 That would be awesome to see.
What happend to this game on this device what device can we go to to get this game.
Not sure, The NFL flagged it a month ago
2:04:20 - see Parcells chewing out a young Bill Belichik because the Giants gave up a critical 3rd and short to Riggins
The original tuck rule....
i watched this game in Tulsa Ok....remember thinking...poor Giants....another hapless coach...Bil Parcells....The giants had stunk for 13 years in a row.
Last games as Giants for Van Pelt and Kelley
Joe Theismann should've never had any passing plays involving 7 step dropbacks. His arm was not strong enough to throw from back there. He should've only had 3 step dropbacks. Would have had a ton more career passing yards.
Tuck Rule at 1:56:50...
Van Pelt's and Kelley's last year with the Giants.
Giants all time linebackers: Sam Huff, Brad Van Pelt, and LT.
Brad Van Pelt overrated. What was Bill Currier doing on an NFL roster?
@@HowieMraz starting safety. Harry Carson was the one way overrated.
Do you have the Giants/Redskins 2005 game when Tiki ran wild?
I do, I gotta find it
Looked like Tuck Rule 1.0 at 1:57:01
Giants receivers were awful liabilities
They were for a long time. Turrible
When it was football. Not the fixed garbage we see today
Commanders name really ucks. Need to change that.
