Respect for putting in Antonio Pierce’s tackle vs the Packers in the 2007 NFC Championship game at 3:28. It wasn’t a turnover, no points were scored, but it was such an incredible and significant play that a lot of people forget about. Thanks for putting that in. Go Big Blue!!!
It truly is a team effort. That first down could’ve cost the entire game. It may not be tyree’s catch but whose to say packers would’ve won had they converted the third that play
I agree with you with those words. In 2008 season when Burress left the Giants,the Offense was not the same. Having him in the Lineup always feared the opposing defense's.
@Mike Russo you know who has more INT's than Eli? Peyton, Favre, Marino, Unitas, Tarkenton. All HOF'ers. Are they better? Absolutely. but he'll get in. People will hate it but I rather have Eli in the HOF than Brady w/8 rings.
@@joeysicignano2413 I couldn't watch that play for almost a year because I cried every time. When Plax was in tears after the game while holding his son, I was a wreck.
Manning to Burress gives me chills every time, just the way he says "Touchdown New York!" and the crowd being possibly the loudest its ever been at a superbowl
People forget about the Ingram 3rd down play but it is one of the single best individual efforts to get a first down in a big spot that I have ever seen
Awesome video. Missing the third down catch and run by Steve Smith on the 2007 final drive. One of the most underrated plays in Giants and Superbowl history.
neckisstiff I love the look on mannings. his face is priceless at the end like : " did I just bring my team back with 30 seconds left, did really just do that"
Right before the ball is snapped you see Eli's eyes dart to the left , where he sees Hobbs one on one with Burriss, and he knows right there that's going to be a TD>
I was at that 2000 NFC championship game when they smoked the Randy Moss + Daunte Culpepper Vikings. I was 8 years old. My dad had to hold me up over his head almost the entire game because the crowd couldn't stop standing/cheering. Best memory of my childhood hands down. I love the Giants man.
i was there too and there was this huge brother in our section wearing a purple fur coat and talking shit to everyone before kickoff. by halftime he left the stadium quiet as a churchmouse LOL
I was in vet school that year and I wasn't following football due to my studies. Is that game worth watching on youtube? I don't know of any real NYG-MIN rivalry to get the bad blood flowing, but I have heard some people say that it's an immortal NYG game.
@@Torgo1969 It's a legendary Giant game, I was born in 2002 so I didn't actually see it but I watch the highlights a lot. There's an awesome intro with Summerall narrating it as well. I think many agree that it was the greatest game in the history of Giants Stadium, just a shame we got blown up two weeks later. That Giant team is so underrated. Here's the link the game: ruclips.net/video/Yaih3Bu9pqw/видео.html
@@jameskreisler6083 Thanks for the link! I had the time to watch it a month or so ago and I'm so glad I did. The insane and raucous crowd is really on another level, as so many have stated. And the Giants came out smoking! BTW, have you seen the Jan 1991 Championship game against SF at Candlestick? That one is my fave NYG game of all time.
@@Torgo1969 Yea man, times like these make me sad we can't experience crowds like that right now. 1990 NFC Title game is one of the most old school games ever, 15-13 final all field goals. Nowadays if you don't score like 25 you lose
I used to say if they got by the 49ers. In 1981 they beat Philly and lost to San Fran. In 1984 they beat the Rams and lost to San Fran. In 1985 they finally beat San Fran and lost to Chicago. Then of course they destroyed the 49ers and won the whole thing.
Pat Summeral and Madden , so proud to have lived to hear them call my games! Tremendously grateful that they got to call NY Giants games for all those awesome years!
Nice compilation. Also appreciate the Pierce play which was one of my top three favorite Giant moments. There’s no undervaluing the Helmut Catch which has so many components. Personally, I like Manningham’s catch more than Wide Right simply because Wide Right wasn’t the Giant’s doing. But the rankings aren’t important...great job getting so many of the best moments.
agreed, and I feel like they are making it a little easier to get in the hall of fame nowadays (even more so in basketball), I think there is an argument that Leonard belongs
LM had great speed, and he never gave up on that play, getting up off the ground not once but twice. But that play doesn't happen the way it does unless LT is equally active and stops Montana's roll in its tracks, allowing Marshall to close the distance. LM gets lots of deserved love from us NYG fans, but I was glad to see Taylor get to recover the fumble forced by Eric Howard. LT was giddy, prancing around with the ball. LOL. That whole 4th Quarter is the most dramatic quarter I've ever seen as a Giant fan, even more so than the SB wins. 2 QB injuries, the fake punt by Reasons, the Marshall hit, the fumble forced by Howard, and Bahr's winning FG. Incredible!
Thanks for these memories. I am partial to the magic carpet rides of 1990 and 2007, as I did not expect victory in those years. They did not have the best team in either year, but made some exceptional plays.
I watched every game post 1984 and the best for me was beating the 49ers in the 1990 NFC championship game. They were going for a 3peat and we're unstoppable. The Marshall hit on Montana was the best.
Yes. It was 1 against 4 and he won the battle! EDIT: That game was memorable for the drama and the brutal conditions. I've lived in the North all my life, but looking at the field and the red cheeks of everyone, one could tell that the ball and the field were hard as rocks. I would find it hard to be a fan in the stands in those conditions, much less a player getting knocked around on that frozen tundra.
Totally agree with Antonio Pierce's tackle dude. That tackle was career defining. Should have been ranked higher than 20. Also left out was Chase Blackburn's snatched interception from Gronk. Blackburn wasn't even on a team when the season began. He was a real overachiever.
leogerling YOu have to put Eli in tha Hall Simply because of his Brother and BRADY. Brady couldnt beat Eli. And Eli has more superbowls than his brother.!!! LET HIM in lol hahah ;D
Watching montana writhe in physical pain after those hits was almost.... ***ALMOST*** as delightful as watching jerry jones writhe in his emotional pain! NYG FOREVER!!!!
#6 is probably my favorite on this list. Beating that GREAT Niners team, In San Fran, when they were looking for a 3 peat was unforgettable. "There will be no 3-peat" I loved the hell out of that 1990 Giants team
You and me both. For me, the 1990 team is the greatest in Giants history. The majority dont agree with me, but the numbers and quality of opponents dont lie.
Giants come into Candlestick and beat the invincible 49ers team with a backup QB and scoring no touchdowns (5 field goals). Most stunning playoff game in my lifetime.
@@davidorocks62 Unfortunately, we have 2 chances of seeing a great defensive battle like that in a championship game these days: slim & none. I desperately miss that brand of football.
Play #5 should be higher; Ingram gave an incredible effort to get that first down. The tackle by Pierce is in the same boat, incredible individual effort.
I will never forget Super Bowl 42. It was the first Super Bowl win I got to watch with my dad since I was 5 in 1990 and didnt get to stay up for the whole thing and they lost to the damn ravens in 2000. I remember everyone going nuts in our living room once Burress caught the pass.
@@RobertoGonzalez-iw2ee sorry, it wasnt Eli that won those 2 SBs, despite the bogus MVPs. It was the NY Giants, and specically the D line, that won. Eli was along for the ride.
Amazing moments. Some stuff you probably could've added: - Hakeen Nicks's 1st touchdown against the Packers where he bounced off a tackle and ran to the endzone. - Ryan Grant fumble recovered by Chase Blackburn. - Phil Simms flea flicker to McConkey. -
That 2007 Dallas team was freakin stacked, and the 2011 Niners were real good too. #2 seed over New Orleans since they played in SF though I'm pretty sure record-wise they were even. Both like 13-3 I think, something like that.
Congratulations. . .You made a perfect video. As a Giants fan this makes me really happy. You didn't miss anything and you prioritized the right ones. The Plaxico touchdown makes me even happier than the Tyree catch which I doubt most people think.
@@johnsmith3091 just floated through and watched this video, since the conference title games for the 2021 season are tomorrow. What a great job by you.
A great run in 91. If Eddie Murray hits the 42-yarder in 83, that would be way up there. Obviously a superior Washington team in both of those seasons. Many great players- Sanders and Johnson deserve 10 rings apiece- but seldom the right combination on both sides of the ball. Keep believing, because Aaron Rodgers isn't going to live forever.
Manningham catch shoulda been number one....on first down...absolutely perfect ball thrown with unbelievable over the shoulder catch on the sideline with both feet in!
My absolute favorite part of the 90 championship was Madden continuously saying the Giants need a touchdown now if they want to win this game. Nope, sorry Johnny, 5 field goals is plenty enough points for our D
@@richspeck8932 LOL. I rewatched it in its entirety the other day and the memories flooded back. Climbing the damn walls with anxiety and tension and pessimism until that unbelievable 4th Quarter gave us those immortal memories. And it was good to hear Madden giving credit to Howard for forcing that Craig fumble. He always praised the tough guys who don't stand out but who epitomize hardnosed football.
Awesome video. Especially the pre-'86 highlights, don't see those too much. Some really good choices like Antonio Pierce's stop, the Manningham TD vs the Niners, and the Reasons fake punt. Someday I'll make plays 31-50 video. It will have Boss's 45 yard catch in SB XLVI, Stephen Baker's TD before halftime in SB XXV, Nicks' 60+ yard TD in the first quarter vs the Packers in 11, Toomer's 50ish yard TD in the first Q vs the Cowboys in 07, maybe the Hostetler rollout and throw to Bavaro to set up the FG vs the Niners, Eli throw to Bradshaw down the left sideline vs the niners on their last drive in regulation when he got clobbered, jay alford sack of brady, pass defenses at the end by Webster (third down especially) vs Moss, 4th down stops vs Falcons, Jacobs 4th and 1 vs Patriots, steve smith 3rd and 11 vs patriots. Maybe the fake punt in SB XXI, the tackle by everson walls when Thurman looked to get another 20+ yards in SB XXV, the crazy punt return fumble recovery in nfc championship vs packers near the end of regulation. Or how about a fumble recovery montage vs patriots, you could include the one bradshaw stole away from them in xlii, that weird illegal bat play in xlii, and then three fumbles in XLVI- two recovered by giants (one semi-miraculously) and the other recovered by patriots but called back by too many men on the field. Yep that would be sweet.
Thank you so much for this. As a 34 year old NYG fan, I love seeing the old plays and then having the more recent playoff games intertwined. Man I loved that LT era defense. That must have been so amazing to watch, they look absolutely vicious.
Simms was so amazing in that first super bowl. Definitely forgotten how great he was that game. I miss the old Giants helmets. Like the old design a lot more than the current one. Edit: and my god did Montana get ruined against the Giants. Great countdown!
Great list! Was hoping to see the Chase Blackburn interception at 2011-2012 superbowl though, just because he wasn't supposed to be all the way down field covering Gronk. He went up ans snatched it from Gronk, it was one of my favorite plays of the game
Thank you for bringing back some giant GIANT memories. After seeing the Ingram catch again and hm breaking all those tackles, I would have to say it's a toss-up between that and the Tyree catch. Both were game changing events. Great selection! Thank you!
Yeah it was their first playoff victory in the Super Bowl era so I'm glad they included that play. I remember where I was watching the game at my brother's house on Long Island (though I lived in Brooklyn with my sister at the time)
Thanks for posting! #29, #24, #23, #15, #5 and #4 are some of my favorite Giants moments ever. I always remembered Dixon ripping apart the stadium @ 2:55 lmao. What Eli/Tyree did was amazing...but that Manningham catch will always be special to me. A crispy pass, amazing catch and even better footwork proved it was no fluke. Looking forward to Cruz (and possibly Jernigan) getting to 100%. I feel that with OBJ, Cruz, Randle, JJ if healthy and resigned, Parker and a mid to low round draft pick, we're all in for a helluva show next year. BIG BLUE!
From a Cowboy fan - GREAT video! Each moment captured, concise, no bloating, just a bunch of GREAT moments from your team's history w/out a bunch of crap in between. Great video!
The 49ers may have been the Team of the 80s but the Giants beat them 3x in the playoffs-85,86 & 90. Did you see Bill after Bahr’s kick-that was the biggest smile he ever had. Even with the 2 Super Bowls, if you gave him truth serum, Bill would tell you that the win over the 49ers in 90 was his favorite game.
From SB 46: Chase Blackburn's int, Justin Tuck recording the 1st ever SB safety, Victor Cruz's td and Ahmad Bradshaw's td. Note from SB 46, but Pierre Paul blocked field goal was good too!
jeremy brown super bowl 43 had a safety. Also this was PLAYOFF plays, so the blocked field goal couldn't be on here. And the other plays, at least I don't think, are as good as the ones here besides maybe the Blackburn pick.
I would have had #1 as #2, and vice versa. You can't have the greatest play in Super Bowl history as the #2 play in Giants postseason history (SB era). You had, as Steve Sabol said, two miracles on the same play...and you don't HAVE the Plaxico game winner, if not for Catch 42.
This says 30 Top Moments, not 30 best plays. That Tyree catch means nothing if they don't win. If Tyree doesn't catch it, it's 4th and 5.It would have been very hard but certainly not hopeless to end up with a TD on that drive.
Rodney Hampton going 51 yards for a TD in the 93 Wild Card Game vs the Vikings (which also turned out to be Simms and Taylor's last game at Giants Stadium) should be in here.
I love the way you put 8 and 7 next to each other. Two incredible turnovers caused by the Giants against SF to allow the Giants to go to the Superbowl in '90 and '11.
Its sad that almost 2 years later this is still up to date but hopefully not after this year... great video. This is probably my tenth time watching it
i swear my dude Eli manning wins another sb hes gonna be in the conversation of greatest QB's of all time when it comes to being clutch that man had it in his veins 2007 and 2011 Mr fucking 4th quarter both superbowl lucky my ass you don't win 2 SB against supposably the greatest QB ever tom brady by being lucky he took and owned brady and bellichick both years if for some crazy reason the pats and giants meet again in SB 51 and Eli wins its he will literally be a GIANT amongst the great BIG BLUE ALLLLLLLLLLL DAY
eli isnt even that great a qb, just on great teams and made the most of it. romo is a better qb then eli just nvr had the great teams around him to go deep in the playoffs. you cant judge a qb on playoff wins and super bowls. eli hasnt even made the playoffs in 5 years guess he sucks? no but his teams have.
+TheJMSESQ Romo has the most comeback victories since 06 and the highest passer rating in the 4th qtr IN NFL HISTORY. Eli sure was clutch vs the eagles last week throwing a game losing pick.

John Smith, you've done a fantastic job of putting these moments together. Thank you. I would have made Antonio Pierces incredible tackle a bit higher than number 20 however. It was certainly his career defining moment. Well done John.
That you have so many plays to pick from and that you've got 30 is testament to all the great Giant teams over the years. As fans we may bitch and moan, but we've been blessed to have so many great Giants seasons. God bless and Merry Christmas. Happy 2021
Really great to see that Mark Ingram 3rd-down catch in there. Would love an honorable mention of Captain Harry Carson in disguise giving Coach Parcells a Gatorade dunk in the closing moments of SB XXI, or the one that nearly froze in midair in the Conference Championship, but a great list and great memories. Thanks so much.
Growing up as a little kid in the 70's, I would of been happy to see the Giants have a record of 7-9. I thought back then super bowls were only meant for the Steelers and Cowboys. If you would of told me 32 years later that the Giants made it to 5 Super bowls and won 4 I would never believed it!
wow just fantastic memories thanks for posting this The Tyree catch the field goals in overtime against Green Bay just fantastic memories 😃😃😃 oh yes that great Giant defense of the eighties can't forget that😠😠
I still can’t believe that David Tyree catch or how Eli Manning escaped a sure sack to find him. One of the greatest playoff offensive passes I’ve ever seen.

Cowboys would have won that game if they actually studied film the week before and not gone to Cabo and played this game hungover and unprepared.
Awesome video. Missing the third down catch and run by Steve Smith on the 2007 final drive. One of the most underrated plays in Giants and Superbowl history.
Couple that with the big catch early in the forth quarter by Kevin Boss
He was a rookie and went out of bounds to get the 1st down and stop the clock
That first down by Ingram was so clutch... incredible effort...

The new stadium sucks so hard. I miss Madden and Summerall too
I'll never forget the feeling of seeing the N.Y. Giants win there first super bowl!
Amazing moments. Some stuff you probably could've added:
- Hakeen Nicks's 1st touchdown against the Packers where he bounced off a tackle and ran to the endzone.
- Ryan Grant fumble recovered by Chase Blackburn.
- Phil Simms flea flicker to McConkey.
-
A Hell of alot of great teams the Giants beat right there.
Montana, Farve, Aaron Rodgers, Jim Kelly and the immortal Tom Brady (twice!!)
That 2007 Dallas team was freakin stacked, and the 2011 Niners were real good too. #2 seed over New Orleans since they played in SF though I'm pretty sure record-wise they were even. Both like 13-3 I think, something like that.
God I love the Giants !!! Classiest team in the NFL
Eli's throw to Manningham was probably the greatest throw in SB history
SageRobLucci n greatest throw period
It's at least among the greatest throws ever.
Yes. Nothing short of phenomenal.
One of Eli's best throws.
no question about it!
Congratulations. . .You made a perfect video. As a Giants fan this makes me really happy. You didn't miss anything and you prioritized the right ones. The Plaxico touchdown makes me even happier than the Tyree catch which I doubt most people think.
I never comment on videos, but this was amazing. Thank you so much for posting it and editing it
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
yeah man im the same way, never comment on anything ever but this was awesome. great job man
tmbgnicu sry didn't mean to dislike
Thank you so much, that was awesome!
@@johnsmith3091 just floated through and watched this video, since the conference title games for the 2021 season are tomorrow. What a great job by you.
I wish the Lions had even 5 post season moments.
Damn :(
A great run in 91. If Eddie Murray hits the 42-yarder in 83, that would be way up there. Obviously a superior Washington team in both of those seasons. Many great players- Sanders and Johnson deserve 10 rings apiece- but seldom the right combination on both sides of the ball. Keep believing, because Aaron Rodgers isn't going to live forever.
JOHN SMITH!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS COLLECTION OF PRICELESS, GREATNESS AT ITS BEST!! I SALUTE YOU! NEW YORK GIANTS 4 LIFE!!
Manningham catch shoulda been number one....on first down...absolutely perfect ball thrown with unbelievable over the shoulder catch on the sideline with both feet in!
Outstanding! Still get chills seeing these great plays !
Never forget the sehorn int. Sitting in front row of end zone where he ran it in.
Great list! Though I would have tried to fit McConkey's TD off a Bavaro deflection in SB 21 in there somewhere...
Giants fan till the day I die !
and beyond!
Nice job brother . Those Summerall Madden calls , priceless...
Patrick O'LAUGHLIN Appreciate it. Thanks for watching
My absolute favorite part of the 90 championship was Madden continuously saying the Giants need a touchdown now if they want to win this game. Nope, sorry Johnny, 5 field goals is plenty enough points for our D
@@richspeck8932 LOL. I rewatched it in its entirety the other day and the memories flooded back. Climbing the damn walls with anxiety and tension and pessimism until that unbelievable 4th Quarter gave us those immortal memories. And it was good to hear Madden giving credit to Howard for forcing that Craig fumble. He always praised the tough guys who don't stand out but who epitomize hardnosed football.
Awesome video. Especially the pre-'86 highlights, don't see those too much. Some really good choices like Antonio Pierce's stop, the Manningham TD vs the Niners, and the Reasons fake punt.
Someday I'll make plays 31-50 video. It will have Boss's 45 yard catch in SB XLVI, Stephen Baker's TD before halftime in SB XXV, Nicks' 60+ yard TD in the first quarter vs the Packers in 11, Toomer's 50ish yard TD in the first Q vs the Cowboys in 07, maybe the Hostetler rollout and throw to Bavaro to set up the FG vs the Niners, Eli throw to Bradshaw down the left sideline vs the niners on their last drive in regulation when he got clobbered, jay alford sack of brady, pass defenses at the end by Webster (third down especially) vs Moss, 4th down stops vs Falcons, Jacobs 4th and 1 vs Patriots, steve smith 3rd and 11 vs patriots. Maybe the fake punt in SB XXI, the tackle by everson walls when Thurman looked to get another 20+ yards in SB XXV, the crazy punt return fumble recovery in nfc championship vs packers near the end of regulation. Or how about a fumble recovery montage vs patriots, you could include the one bradshaw stole away from them in xlii, that weird illegal bat play in xlii, and then three fumbles in XLVI- two recovered by giants (one semi-miraculously) and the other recovered by patriots but called back by too many men on the field. Yep that would be sweet.
Thank you so much for this. As a 34 year old NYG fan, I love seeing the old plays and then having the more recent playoff games intertwined. Man I loved that LT era defense. That must have been so amazing to watch, they look absolutely vicious.
Simms was so amazing in that first super bowl. Definitely forgotten how great he was that game. I miss the old Giants helmets. Like the old design a lot more than the current one.
Edit: and my god did Montana get ruined against the Giants. Great countdown!
Simms was 22-25, 88%.
Great list! Was hoping to see the Chase Blackburn interception at 2011-2012 superbowl though, just because he wasn't supposed to be all the way down field covering Gronk. He went up ans snatched it from Gronk, it was one of my favorite plays of the game
Thank you for bringing back some giant GIANT memories. After seeing the Ingram catch again and hm breaking all those tackles, I would have to say it's a toss-up between that and the Tyree catch. Both were game changing events. Great selection! Thank you!
Plaxico played the whole season with an almost broken/super-strained ankle. That last catch was a fitting end for what was a hard fought season.
#1 Eli had the same face he had when Peyton scored his touchdown
Beautifully done. I'm shedding a few tears the first one is actually my favorite beating those damn Eagles was big back then.
Merci Wally Henry...
Yeah it was their first playoff victory in the Super Bowl era so I'm glad they included that play. I remember where I was watching the game at my brother's house on Long Island (though I lived in Brooklyn with my sister at the time)
I just love the Giants always and forever
Thanks for posting! #29, #24, #23, #15, #5 and #4 are some of my favorite Giants moments ever. I always remembered Dixon ripping apart the stadium @ 2:55 lmao. What Eli/Tyree did was amazing...but that Manningham catch will always be special to me. A crispy pass, amazing catch and even better footwork proved it was no fluke.
Looking forward to Cruz (and possibly Jernigan) getting to 100%. I feel that with OBJ, Cruz, Randle, JJ if healthy and resigned, Parker and a mid to low round draft pick, we're all in for a helluva show next year. BIG BLUE!
Great work! Including plays like 13 and especially 21 show the sophistication of Giants fans--makes me proud to be a long-time fan. Thank you!
The Giants and Niners have had a great rivalry, one that doesn't get talked about often.
shivers down my spine. love my GIANTS
From a Cowboy fan - GREAT video! Each moment captured, concise, no bloating, just a bunch of GREAT moments from your team's history w/out a bunch of crap in between. Great video!
Thanks! Lots of great memories here. I remember when the Giants stunk in the 1970's, and I'm old enough to remember the "Fumble" in 1978. I was 11.
I understand everyone who vote Pats I, but that 1990 NFC title is my all-time favorite game.
Quoting Madden: that was football.
The 49ers may have been the Team of the 80s but the Giants beat them 3x in the playoffs-85,86 & 90. Did you see Bill after Bahr’s kick-that was the biggest smile he ever had. Even with the 2 Super Bowls, if you gave him truth serum, Bill would tell you that the win over the 49ers in 90 was his favorite game.
From SB 46: Chase Blackburn's int, Justin Tuck recording the 1st ever SB safety, Victor Cruz's td and Ahmad Bradshaw's td. Note from SB 46, but Pierre Paul blocked field goal was good too!
***** Might've been the 1st in a long time. I'll double check it then!
jeremy brown super bowl 43 had a safety. Also this was PLAYOFF plays, so the blocked field goal couldn't be on here. And the other plays, at least I don't think, are as good as the ones here besides maybe the Blackburn pick.
there's been a shit-ton of safeties in SB history (for some weird reason). In fact, ti's a good side bet to make.
@@TheJMSESQ The Gmen got Elway in '86
That 2011-12 NYG Team balled out in the postseason! Good times
I would have had #1 as #2, and vice versa. You can't have the greatest play in Super Bowl history as the #2 play in Giants postseason history (SB era). You had, as Steve Sabol said, two miracles on the same play...and you don't HAVE the Plaxico game winner, if not for Catch 42.
You sir wrote the most authentic paragraph ever written!
This says 30 Top Moments, not 30 best plays. That Tyree catch means nothing if they don't win. If Tyree doesn't catch it, it's 4th and 5.It would have been very hard but certainly not hopeless to end up with a TD on that drive.
I can't tell you how many times I've come back to this to watch it. Probably my favorite video on RUclips. I just love this so much haha.
That catch on the sideline by Super Mario was absolute perfection. It couldn't have been thrown any better and Manningham staying inbounds. Priceless.
Amazing list. Makes me proud to be a fan.
Rodney Hampton going 51 yards for a TD in the 93 Wild Card Game vs the Vikings (which also turned out to be Simms and Taylor's last game at Giants Stadium) should be in here.
I love the way you put 8 and 7 next to each other. Two incredible turnovers caused by the Giants against SF to allow the Giants to go to the Superbowl in '90 and '11.
Its sad that almost 2 years later this is still up to date but hopefully not after this year... great video. This is probably my tenth time watching it
The Kevin Boss catch and run to start the 4th quarter in 2007 is what really got the Giants going.
i swear my dude Eli manning wins another sb hes gonna be in the conversation of greatest QB's of all time when it comes to being clutch that man had it in his veins 2007 and 2011 Mr fucking 4th quarter both superbowl lucky my ass you don't win 2 SB against supposably the greatest QB ever tom brady by being lucky he took and owned brady and bellichick both years if for some crazy reason the pats and giants meet again in SB 51 and Eli wins its he will literally be a GIANT amongst the great BIG BLUE ALLLLLLLLLLL DAY
eli isnt even that great a qb, just on great teams and made the most of it. romo is a better qb then eli just nvr had the great teams around him to go deep in the playoffs. you cant judge a qb on playoff wins and super bowls. eli hasnt even made the playoffs in 5 years guess he sucks? no but his teams have.
MrFALLENHER0 lol Seattle fumble...pick in the redzone by the giants. He wish he could be clutch like Eli..oh and he lost his job to a rookie lol
First 3 quarters of a game: Romo > Eli.
Winning time Eli > Romo and its not even close.
+TheJMSESQ Romo has the most comeback victories since 06 and the highest passer rating in the 4th qtr IN NFL HISTORY. Eli sure was clutch vs the eagles last week throwing a game losing pick.

John Smith, you've done a fantastic job of putting these moments together. Thank you. I would have made Antonio Pierces incredible tackle a bit higher than number 20 however. It was certainly his career defining moment. Well done John.
That you have so many plays to pick from and that you've got 30 is testament to all the great Giant teams over the years. As fans we may bitch and moan, but we've been blessed to have so many great Giants seasons. God bless and Merry Christmas. Happy 2021
Thank you, sir. Brought tears to my eyes.
From 1990 till now i remember all those great plays and memories
Boy I miss those days of the giants having heart.
John, you've put together some awesome videos! Thank you for uploading these!
After watching this, I'm now in a New York state of mind!
+Allan De The city that don't sleep better slip you an ambien!
Awesome job! That was incredible.....brought back some great memories.
Really great to see that Mark Ingram 3rd-down catch in there. Would love an honorable mention of Captain Harry Carson in disguise giving Coach Parcells a Gatorade dunk in the closing moments of SB XXI, or the one that nearly froze in midair in the Conference Championship, but a great list and great memories. Thanks so much.
You have enhanced this Giant's win today, sir. I thank you. I have NO quarrels with your order. Well done.
My family has had Giant's season tickets since 1976, I was at all these home games.
Growing up as a little kid in the 70's, I would of been happy to see the Giants have a record of 7-9. I thought back then super bowls were only meant for the Steelers and Cowboys. If you would of told me 32 years later that the Giants made it to 5 Super bowls and won 4 I would never believed it!
John: Thank you for a wonderful compilation. I loved it.
J Rodriguez You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate this, though I believe that number 2 & number 1 need to be reverse
Corey Veasey In hindsight, probably right
***** do you happen to have the giants-eagles 1981 wild card game?
larry falter I do... but I can't upload a full game to youtube. I'll get a copyright strike.
Number 2 was pure luck. Number one is the what sealed the deal. They executed that fade route flawlessly. Eli by came top 10 after that performance.
MUCTARU KAMARA The fact that number 2 was pure luck, is what made it the number 1 play.
Simms to Bavaro......Touchdown! I still get chills when I hear that.
3:40 I got AP's autograph last week!
wow just fantastic memories thanks for posting this The Tyree catch the field goals in overtime against Green Bay just fantastic memories 😃😃😃 oh yes that great Giant defense of the eighties can't forget that😠😠
Awesome compilation. I live that you began with the 1981 Wild Card game. I remember watching that game as a 10-year-old.
I still can’t believe that David Tyree catch or how Eli Manning escaped a sure sack to find him. One of the greatest playoff offensive passes I’ve ever seen.
