I remember that Thanksgiving game as a kid. I just became a Giants fan the previous year after hearing about their 40+ year playoff draught. LT made defense cool. Everyone else in school was jumping on the 49ers bandwagon. In 83 Parcels took over and Big Blue defense became dominate in 85-90. As the late Wellington Mara said... "Once a Giant always a Giant."
They should have a hall of fame included for football commentators too. I think it is fair. They contribute to how the NFL has become the way it is today too. Summeral and Madden would definitely be in there.
Many people tend to forget that 1982 was the first "Strike season" I had just turned 15 when Thanksgiving came around and was just happy NFL football was back after suspending operations (The notorius "Scab games" wouldn't happen until the 1987 strike) I remember how weird it was with such a shortened season and the NFL throwing out the traditional playoff format for a Super Bowl Tournament where teams were seeded in each conference.
2:32:23 was my favorite play as a Lions fan, after seeing LT single handedly win this game. He was impossible to block when he was completely coked out like he was on a day like this
Your channel is awesome happy thanksgiving bro.....thanks for these games now I can still see the lions & cowboys on Turkey day when the nfl was really good unlike the current nfl which is pathetic & unwatchable....as always great job
Anyone know why LT was benched the 1st qtr? Never mind lol it was the 1st half and he was hurt... so he dominated in the 2nd half on a bummed knee... sheesh
Danielson replaced Hipple the first 2 games of the year and again replace him in this game. Hipple would lose his starting job for the remainder of the season and wouldn't start again until the playoffs. Lions had no other quarterbacks
Thanks for the commercials. They bring me back to 10 yrs old
2:25:31 I've never heard Pat Summerall that excited in any broadcast ever #classic #throwback #Madden&Summerall #legends

Pat Summerall had the perfect voice for the NFL.
Many of my Sundays growing up in the 80s were spent with him narrating the game alongside Madden. Classic NFC football on CBS.
It will never be better than Pat Summerall and John Madden

You even got some of the commercials. This is awesome!! 😁

It was certainly a weird but nonetheless memorable season
One of the most dominant performances by a defensive player in a game ever! LT won this game for the Giants....and he came off the bench!
and he did it Single-Handedly too
how many sacks did he get
Best football player I have ever seen at any position. LT

54:25 John Robinson is quitting coaching at USC, Madden is his good friend, and he didn't think he'd "ever" go to Pro Football...
Madden was dead wrong on that one
Yesssurrr 👊 i"ll have vintage Thanksgiving Football to watch thanks for dropping this along with commercials in tact. Keep em coming.
1:46:00 for the 1st LT play of the game
Your channel is awesome happy thanksgiving bro.....thanks for these games now I can still see the lions & cowboys on Turkey day when the nfl was really good unlike the current nfl which is pathetic & unwatchable....as always great job
LT with an iconic play
1:46:16 John madden had a guess who is responsible for Harry Carson's INT
Typical loss by the Lions. Settling for field goals loses you football games.
That Pat Summerall along with Harry Kalas are the greatest narrators in all of football.
2:25:30 LT INT for a TD
LT has it covered .
Lions may have sucked major ass but their uniforms were SWEET SLIVER AND Honolulu blue
ironically on St Valentines Day 1983 John Robinson was named the next coach of the L A Rams
I remwmber this game for the hit on Leon Bright at 2:32:30.
Once again the Lions create a new rule.
This is the first time I can remember when they carted off a player with his helmet on
80’s 🙌🏽
How come the game wasn't aired in Cleveland because W,jw channel 8 did not want to interfere it!
Pat sumerall rip
I'm only detroit lions fan win or lose
1:53:46 give the ball to billy sims.... Bad Idea
R.I.P #39
Now the Silverdome is no longer and is the site a of Amazon warehouse
I miss the days when sports were sports, and not a forum for politics as it is now. It's so disheartening.
That is why we watch the old games instead of the modern crap
@@PRHILL9696 damn lol so true hahaha
You said it!!!!
Aww poor MAGA ❄️s
@@PRHILL9696yesssurrr I with you on that one. 👊
Anyone know why LT was benched the 1st qtr?
Never mind lol it was the 1st half and he was hurt... so he dominated in the 2nd half on a bummed knee... sheesh
he had an INT assist, he forced a fumble, he sacked a QB and a Pick 6 for a GW
It was the 2nd week back from back the strike
That explains a lot I was wondering why the stats were so low and didn’t understand what he said about the Giants 0-3
I'm surprised Danielson didn't get yanked after throwing that 'pick 6'.
Danielson replaced Hipple the first 2 games of the year and again replace him in this game. Hipple would lose his starting job for the remainder of the season and wouldn't start again until the playoffs. Lions had no other quarterbacks
Can we get a previous game Giants vs Redskins, please, want to analyze that one, who has it, just whistle
Sol Solis This is the next one
Washington jumped out to a 21-0 lead. Dexter Manley had an int and a sack. Theismann outplays Brunner
@@howardcosell2022 a game, please))
Let me take the suspense out of it for ya. LT dominates that one too
cruds, i knew i shouldnt have looked at the comments. spoiled :( my bad
Let's go Lions
is pat summerall sober??? didnt know how to stay away from liquor/alcohol if you paid him.
80s NFL mediocrity at its finest.
Yeah Lawrence Taylor is real mediocre...
Yeah. No fantasy stats.
