This is a pleasure to watch……Real Football! When a team played as a single unit and not the me, me, me mentality of today. Men vs little boys of today.
Freddy Plascencia I agree with you 100%. This giant team would CRUSH the patriots. And I like Brady and what they’ve accomplished. But that Giant Team steamrolled the great 49ers organization and a few years later managed to win another SB against the Bills that nobody had them winning.
My Broncos put up a very respectable fight against these Giants in Super Bowl XXI, but we were definitely outmatched. The '86 Giants were one of the best teams of the decade.
The 2000 Ravens of Brian Billick and Marvin Lewis allowed 188 points in 20 games.Thats 9.4 points a game and it included 2 pick 6es and also 2 kick off return TD that went into that 188 points total.This happened in 2000 where offenses were even better and more protected and generally more points were being scored

Giants out scored dynastic niners 66-6 in seven quarters of playoff football in 85-86, Giants shut it down in forth quarter in 86 game. It forced Walsh, Carmen policy and debartolo to revamp the entire offense, especially the line. It served San Francisco well.
No one was stopping the Giants that year. They were as dominant as any team in NFL history. What they did in the playoffs and the Super Bowl is proof of that.
Except they gave up 50 more points and more than 600 more yards that year than the 1986 Bears. You can't be one of the top defenses in history when you were not even the top defense in the NFL that season.
Isn't it amazing that Phil Simms first played on CBS, then became a game analyst on CBS, first with Greg Gumbel and then with Jim Nantz, and now is on The NFL Today in this 2017 season? (IIRC, he was also at NBC.)
Montana didn't have much luck vs the Giants in the playoff games. This game he gets knocked out with the shoulder injury and then in the 1990 title game he gets knocked out missing next season for an elbow injury. Giants/49ers duals were nasty sometimes.
It was a combination of a shoulder injury and a concussion that knocked Montana out when Jim Burt hit him. And until I watched this game in its entirety, I actually thought it was Charles Haley who hit Simms. Man, I need to get my vision checked.
Seam pass to ole Zeke-beautiful. The Giants backup linebackers-Pepper Johnson, Andy Headen, and Byron Hunt are better than what the Giants have now playing linebacker.
@@danski6694 I know finally a linebacker. Their run defense last year was a disgrace and the pass rush was nothing to write home about either. We got to hope the Beavers kid is healthy and is a player. He's tall like Banks and Reasons were at 6'4" and around 20 pounds heavier at 255 pounds.
@@jacksmith5692 sick of this! Sick of losing! Last year was a pleasant surprise I guess with the first playoff win in over 10 years but not enough for me! What do you think of the Jones contract? I think the Giants got taken for a ride there personally
@@danski6694 Disagree the QB market is what it is and the Jones deal is reasonable and what did he play with last season? Tell me about his OL, his WR room and his amazing TE room? Jones is just scratching the surface and go back and look at the Jalen Hurts number in 2021 even though he had two stud OL players in Kelce and Johnson, a great rookie WR in Smith and an excellent TE in Dallas Goedert and a great running game compared with the Daniel Jones numbers in 2022. They are not close and how many realize that? Jones was saddled with a disaster OL save Thomas at LT, and disaster receivers and tight ends and yet the Jones numbers in 2022 far exceed the Hurts numbers in 2021 with superior talent around him and a dominate running game. Hurts completed 61% of his passes and had a 87.2 QB rating and a 48.5 QBR rating. Jones completed over 67% of his passes with a million drops and had a 92.5 QB rating and a 60.8 QBR rating and only had 5 picks in 472 passes and remember one was a throw away at the end of the first half and the other was against Dallas when the receiver fell down and the ball sailed where he would of been into the hands of Diggs for a gift interception so 3 picks in 470 passes sounds pretty good to me! His best receiver at the end of the year was a scrapheap pickup Isaiah Hodgins in week 9 during the bye week and he played 8 games with the Giants. We're going to compare Hodgins to what Hurts had in Smith in 2021? Daniel Jones needs to continue to stay healthy that he finally did and keep improving and I think he will. The physical skills are there, he's a hard worker, a good person, and went to Duke so he's not a dope! Remember what the late Vince Lombardi told another Duke QB in 1970. Jurgensen had completed 62% with over 3,100 yards to lead the NFL in 1969 and Lombardi said in 1970 Sonny you will complete 70% of your passes because it's year 2 in my offense and you know it now! Sonny said 70% wow Coach and Lombardi said yes Sonny, yes! It never happened because Lombardi died from cancer but the point was obvious. He now knows the offense. Well Daniel Jones is finally in a real offense in year 2 of the Brian Daboll offense and as long as he stays healthy and his weapons stay healthy I see continuous improvement like Jalen Hurts showed in 2022! There is no doubt in my mind and if the Giants run defense and pass rush improve in 2023 that will be more help! BTW, despite all the void of talent around Jones, his last 3 seasons he has throw 22 picks in 1,281 passes or a 1.7% interception rate. That would put him tied for 4th all time at 1.7% and overall his 2.0% interception rate is the 9th best in the history of the NFL. We post and all can see and later we'll see if I was wrong or right? An example was I killed the Javy Baez deal by the Mets when we gave up Pete Crow Armstrong for a stiff in Baez and was killed that Javy Baez is an amazing player. I wrote yeah his 28 walks and 179 strikeouts and .954% fielding at SS is amazing. Amazingly crappy. I was killed and put my thoughts out there and it is what it is! I was proven 100% right and see Jones just scratching the surface and his contract will be a bargain in 2 years and 160 million is nonsense! He has 81 to 82 million in guaranteed money, forget that 160 million nonsense!
@@jacksmith5692 wow! What a post! Thanks brother! Lol I hope you’re right! Maybe if Gettleman wasnt behind it all we would like Jones more? I just see too many flaws in his game to be too exited. Locks on to receivers, absolutely rifles the ball at guys without a soft touch, doesn’t step up in the pocket as well as Id like to see. But hopefully we are seeing the tip of the iceberg!
Cant tell you how much I enjoyed watching this as a long suffering Giants fan! And thanks especially for leaving in the commercials, when they used to be actually funny! And Pat and John , what more can you ask for?
The Giants kicked Montana/Rice's asses in 85, 86, and 90 outscoring them 81 to 19 and Eli beat Brady twice! Montana knocked out by Jim Burt and Leonard Marshall and Tom Brady a 2 time loser to Eli Manning.
"oh he's probably got a concussion, but he'll be back for the second half" - sheezus! But man, I watched this again to remind myself what real Giants D looks like. They had pride in those days. Giving up so much as a first down was unacceptable. Didn't matter when in the game it was or how close the score.
Agreed. Parcells’ Giants had an identity. The years they won the Super Bowl the teams were disciplined and consistent. Not so with the 2097 and 2011 championship teams. Coughlin’s teams ran the table as Wild Cards. In the 1990 Super Bowl, Buffalo had the more talented roster yet the Giants dominated time of possession and clubbed the Bills with smash mouth play on offense all game long.
In the 1985 and 1986 playoffs when the Niners scored 6 total points, Joe Morris gained 300 yards on 52 carries! Parcells 66 points, Walsh 6 points! The genius Bill Walsh!
Some of the legendary men associated with this game: Coaches: Walsh, Belechik, Parcells, Seifert, Holmgren, Green Players: Taylor, Rice, Lott, Montana, Haley, Clark, Carson, Banks, not to mention; Bavaro, Craig, John Taylor, Morris, Landeta, Simms, Carter, Kinard Called by the 2 greatest commentators in NFL history.
at 1:14:23 Simms gets hit in the head by the 49ers Dwaine Board. Jim Burt greets Simms as he struggles to leave the field. Soon after at 1:17:00 Burt retaliates with the knock out blast to Montana's head and the Taylor pick six.
10:44: I still can't believe what I am seeing here. You young folks out there have no idea what Jerry Rice making a run and catch like this meant. It's like Michael Jordan missing a dunk undefended.
Jesus Jerry Rice was running for a touchdown on that first drive on that slant! Would have been a completely different game and quite possibly history if he didn’t fumble that!
In the 1985 and 86 playoffs, Phil Simms threw 6 total touchdown passes against the 49ers. Joe Montana in those games threw no touchdown passes and 3 interceptions leading his team to 6 total points. The genius Bill Walsh!
I know the Marshall hit in 1990 NFC Championship is the one many remember, but Burt knocking Montana out here is just as or is more brutal. It's funny that the hit on Simms (that gnarly helmet to his mouth/chin on the prior TD pass) perhaps catalyzed Burt into nearly nearly killing Joe Montana here, while it was Burt himself that made Marshall do the same 4 years later.
Giants/ 49ers games in the 80s were absolute wars. It was when football was football. The Giants defense in the era of the Two Bills was positively ferocious. They were the only team during that time that could contain Montana and as you note, they knocked him out of those two playoff games.
At 10:40 when Rice fumbled that ball that should have been a TD, that set the tone for the ass kicking the 49ers were going get . That should have been a closer game, but when Jerry Rice fumbled that ball it gave ALL the momentum to the Giants.
After watching the 1981 Giants beat Philly and lose to San Fran and the 1984 team beat the Rams and lose to San Fran, I hated the 49ers. Even after beating them in 1985 I still felt like they had our number. When this game happened, I was totally stunned.
madrecka I would have rather seen them play the Bears in the nfc title game then the Redskins. you would've had had to 14-2 teams in the NFC Championship Game, even though the Bears didn't have their quarterback because Jim McMahon got cheap shot it by that Packers defensive lineman so the Giants probably would have won, but if Jim McMahon was healthy I can see the Bears going into New York and beating the Giants. I think the Giants would have had the home-field advantage on a tiebreaker even though both teams were 14-2.
I don't what hit was worse, Jim Burts in this game on Montana, or Leonard Marshalls in the 1990 champ game, out in S.F., when he rolled out to his right, and got hit in the back; those were two vicious hits
Do you guys remember the crowd chanting near the end of the game, "we want the Bears! We want the Bears!" We assumed Chicago was going to win later that afternoon. Some of the greatest memories I've ever had in my 43 years on earth
I actually remember that Bears chant the year before at the 1985 Wild Card game vs. SF. At this game I remember "we want the Skins" chants, since WASH had won the day before over the Bears and that was our next opponent in the NFC Championship Game.
This was the worst beat down the 49ers suffered in the Montana era. To put things in perspective Brady in all his playoff games has never lost by more than 18 points in his 20 years in the league.
Right after herb Welch's interception, first play from scrimmage, I love the moment. Pat Summeral says, "Morris is gone." And the crowd goes insane the second Joe hits the hole. Game over. You could tell in real time. Not today Niners. It's going to get bad for you today. I haven't been to the new stadium, so I can't compare, but there was something about the old Giants Stadium. Not saying it was louder than other stadia, but the noise was different. The fans knew the game. And you could tell on this play, the second Morris hit that hole, that the fans knew there was going to be slaughter.
two of the greatest minds in football history offense /Walsh vs defense/parcells each time these two teams meet u have slug fest not to many average and beat a very talented st qb relay didnt belong on this list parcels a genius he pick a small fast runningback
I was in upper deck 15yrs old my cousin and I walked in late, heard a sigh from crowd, ran to nearest tunnel and saw Rice gone I was sick then the fumble then I just remember killing them. My cousin passed away in 2000 at age 42 this game and then we went again next week to championship game will always be my memories with him
Nice. Thanks for sharing that memory, Geoffrey and may your cousin rest in peace. The '86 season and especially the playoffs are my very favorite Giants memories. Being in the stadium for the playoff games was the ultimate for me as a lifelong Giants fan. Incredible and you had to be there to fully appreciate it. Go Giants!
Are you able to bless us with the championship game as well? Thanks for posting i was 14 and a giants fan growing up in ny. Everything finally came to together this year, simms stayed healthy and the rest is history.
Funny enough, I've tried posting the NFC Championship Game vs. Wash. 5 times and UA-cam took it down every time. I guess I have the commercials from the broadcast so it got flagged. Not sure why this one got through.
These teams met 5 times in the post season between 1981 and 1990. The winner went on to win the super bowl in 4 of those 5 occasions. Giants won 3 out of those 5 meetings.
My favorite game of this era. Not a great game or anything like that. But a fun game for a Giant fan. After never winning anything it looked like the Giants were on their way.
These two teams played twice during the 1986 season. The first 2 quarters the 49ers outscored the Giants 17-0…….But over the next 5 quarters the Giants put a serious beatdown on the 49ers outscoring them 70-3 leaving no doubt who the superior team was that year!
was so good before they started rigging it , and players seemed to play for their team and the fans, not for themselves,..I remember they used to say Jimmy Hoffa was buried under the 50 yard line
After the hit he took, I remember that Montana had to stay in New York for a week because the doctors didn’t want him flying because he was so seriously hurt.
Time now for NFL History Quiz. Jerry Rice's fumble on a sure TD at 10:50 was caused by: a) Artificial turf b) "Gamesmanship" (a nod to Bill Walsh's explanation to Bill Parcells' allegation that the 49ers were cheating with the phones-off rule in prior matches) c) Divine İntervention d) None of the Above. You make the call!
The Giants were notorious for playing with doors @ the Meadowlands to create wind drafts so don't discount cheating. Don't forget, Bellicheat was the Giants DC.
Between Jim Burts hit on Montana, and Leonard Marshalls hit on Montana a few years later in San Fran, don't know which one was worse; Giants really gave him a beating in those years

Seems like such an obvious thing to do, but I guess it's too much to ask for most announcers today.
And Derek still has Bob Sheppard introducing him at Yankee Stadium for Old-Timers Day a few weeks ago. That’s the respect that only Derek has for being a Yankee!
Giants out scored dynastic niners 66-6 in seven quarters of playoff football in 85-86, Giants shut it down in forth quarter in 86 game. It forced Walsh, Carmen policy and debartolo to revamp the entire offense, especially the line. It served San Francisco well.
No one was stopping the Giants that year. They were as dominant as any team in NFL history. What they did in the playoffs and the Super Bowl is proof of that.
1986 Giants defense were one of the best defenses in NFL History. Up there with the 2000 Ravens defense.
Except they gave up 50 more points and more than 600 more yards that year than the 1986 Bears. You can't be one of the top defenses in history when you were not even the top defense in the NFL that season.
@@thomascourt4935 You do have a point. But I think if you are in the TOP 3 it’s considered one of the best.
He's gotta get some stuff under some stuff gotta love Madden plus Summeral setting it up just classic
I loved seeing them beat the 49ers, especially this good old fashioned beat down
Me too Gary!
Defense! Defense!
I get chills watching this awesome promo footage prior to the ballgame!
Isn't it amazing that Phil Simms first played on CBS, then became a game analyst on CBS, first with Greg Gumbel and then with Jim Nantz, and now is on The NFL Today in this 2017 season? (IIRC, he was also at NBC.)
He was a pre game studio analyst for ESPN in 1994
Montana didn't have much luck vs the Giants in the playoff games. This game he gets knocked out with the shoulder injury and then in the 1990 title game he gets knocked out missing next season for an elbow injury. Giants/49ers duals were nasty sometimes.
Blaqnostic wow I thought it was a concussion
2 vicious hits by Leonard. That elbow injury is what opened the door for Steve Young and sent Montana to KC.
well, it WAS also a concussion. but it was the elbow getting broken that cost him his 1991 season.
CMartin6688 It cost him TWO seasons, he missed al of 1991 and 1992.
It was a combination of a shoulder injury and a concussion that knocked Montana out when Jim Burt hit him. And until I watched this game in its entirety, I actually thought it was Charles Haley who hit Simms. Man, I need to get my vision checked.
Seam pass to ole Zeke-beautiful. The Giants backup linebackers-Pepper Johnson, Andy Headen, and Byron Hunt are better than what the Giants have now playing linebacker.
2023 still holds true! Although they signed a decent guy from the Colts
@@danski6694 I know finally a linebacker. Their run defense last year was a disgrace and the pass rush was nothing to write home about either.
We got to hope the Beavers kid is healthy and is a player. He's tall like Banks and Reasons were at 6'4" and around 20 pounds heavier at 255 pounds.
@@jacksmith5692 sick of this! Sick of losing! Last year was a pleasant surprise I guess with the first playoff win in over 10 years but not enough for me!
What do you think of the Jones contract? I think the Giants got taken for a ride there personally
@@danski6694 Disagree the QB market is what it is and the Jones deal is reasonable and what did he play with last season? Tell me about his OL, his WR room and his amazing TE room?
Jones is just scratching the surface and go back and look at the Jalen Hurts number in 2021 even though he had two stud OL players in Kelce and Johnson, a great rookie WR in Smith and an excellent TE in Dallas Goedert and a great running game compared with the Daniel Jones numbers in 2022.
They are not close and how many realize that? Jones was saddled with a disaster OL save Thomas at LT, and disaster receivers and tight ends and yet the Jones numbers in 2022 far exceed the Hurts numbers in 2021 with superior talent around him and a dominate running game.
Hurts completed 61% of his passes and had a 87.2 QB rating and a 48.5 QBR rating.
Jones completed over 67% of his passes with a million drops and had a 92.5 QB rating and a 60.8 QBR rating and only had 5 picks in 472 passes and remember one was a throw away at the end of the first half and the other was against Dallas when the receiver fell down and the ball sailed where he would of been into the hands of Diggs for a gift interception so 3 picks in 470 passes sounds pretty good to me!
His best receiver at the end of the year was a scrapheap pickup Isaiah Hodgins in week 9 during the bye week and he played 8 games with the Giants.
We're going to compare Hodgins to what Hurts had in Smith in 2021?
Daniel Jones needs to continue to stay healthy that he finally did and keep improving and I think he will. The physical skills are there, he's a hard worker, a good person, and went to Duke so he's not a dope!
Remember what the late Vince Lombardi told another Duke QB in 1970. Jurgensen had completed 62% with over 3,100 yards to lead the NFL in 1969 and Lombardi said in 1970 Sonny you will complete 70% of your passes because it's year 2 in my offense and you know it now!
Sonny said 70% wow Coach and Lombardi said yes Sonny, yes!
It never happened because Lombardi died from cancer but the point was obvious. He now knows the offense.
Well Daniel Jones is finally in a real offense in year 2 of the Brian Daboll offense and as long as he stays healthy and his weapons stay healthy I see continuous improvement like Jalen Hurts showed in 2022!
There is no doubt in my mind and if the Giants run defense and pass rush improve in 2023 that will be more help!
BTW, despite all the void of talent around Jones, his last 3 seasons he has throw 22 picks in 1,281 passes or a 1.7% interception rate.
That would put him tied for 4th all time at 1.7% and overall his 2.0% interception rate is the 9th best in the history of the NFL.
We post and all can see and later we'll see if I was wrong or right?
An example was I killed the Javy Baez deal by the Mets when we gave up Pete Crow Armstrong for a stiff in Baez and was killed that Javy Baez is an amazing player.
I wrote yeah his 28 walks and 179 strikeouts and .954% fielding at SS is amazing. Amazingly crappy.
I was killed and put my thoughts out there and it is what it is!
I was proven 100% right and see Jones just scratching the surface and his contract will be a bargain in 2 years and 160 million is nonsense! He has 81 to 82 million in guaranteed money, forget that 160 million nonsense!
@@jacksmith5692 wow! What a post! Thanks brother! Lol
I hope you’re right! Maybe if Gettleman wasnt behind it all we would like Jones more? I just see too many flaws in his game to be too exited. Locks on to receivers, absolutely rifles the ball at guys without a soft touch, doesn’t step up in the pocket as well as Id like to see. But hopefully we are seeing the tip of the iceberg!
Best Giant Game ever! Domination.
Man the giants were nightmares for montana and brady
G-men ragdolled Montana without mercy.
The Giants playing at home were not going to be denied . Simms played great with just the great Bavaro Bavaro without an all -pro receiver.
Cant tell you how much I enjoyed watching this as a long suffering Giants fan! And thanks especially for leaving in the commercials, when they used to be actually funny! And Pat and John , what more can you ask for?
Just imagine what they would say about the 49ers (Montana) & the Patriots (Brady) if it wasn't for the big blue wrecking crew.
For Real !!! We demolish The Greats !!!
The Giants kicked Montana/Rice's asses in 85, 86, and 90 outscoring them 81 to 19 and Eli beat Brady twice! Montana knocked out by Jim Burt and Leonard Marshall and Tom Brady a 2 time loser to Eli Manning.
Yes you must be so proud 😂
"oh he's probably got a concussion, but he'll be back for the second half" - sheezus! But man, I watched this again to remind myself what real Giants D looks like. They had pride in those days. Giving up so much as a first down was unacceptable. Didn't matter when in the game it was or how close the score.
Agreed. Parcells’ Giants had an identity. The years they won the Super Bowl the teams were disciplined and consistent. Not so with the 2097 and 2011 championship teams. Coughlin’s teams ran the table as Wild Cards. In the 1990 Super Bowl, Buffalo had the more talented roster yet the Giants dominated time of possession and clubbed the Bills with smash mouth play on offense all game long.
In the 1985 and 1986 playoffs when the Niners scored 6 total points, Joe Morris gained 300 yards on 52 carries!
Parcells 66 points, Walsh 6 points!
The genius Bill Walsh!
And the ‘87 playoff loss nearly cost Walsh his job
The Giants had the 49ers number, at times. Knocked Montana out twice
Good game.Although NOT a Giants fan, nonetheless, I'm glad that they won.
The Giants always tuff on the S.F.
Beat Montana on 3 Different occasions (85 Wildcard, 86 Divisional Round and the 1990 NFC Championship)
Some of the legendary men associated with this game:
Coaches: Walsh, Belechik, Parcells, Seifert, Holmgren, Green
Players: Taylor, Rice, Lott, Montana, Haley, Clark, Carson, Banks, not to mention; Bavaro, Craig, John Taylor, Morris, Landeta, Simms, Carter, Kinard
Called by the 2 greatest commentators in NFL history.
at 1:14:23 Simms gets hit in the head by the 49ers Dwaine Board. Jim Burt greets Simms as he struggles to leave the field. Soon after at 1:17:00 Burt retaliates with the knock out blast to Montana's head and the Taylor pick six.
John Mongani Thats old time football! You hit us we hit you back...harder!
Payback time.... Burt leveled him ...knocked him silly ! Best Giant team of all time .
John Mongani that was one heck of a throw by simms
TL2354 probably took the breath out of him big time
“Morris is gone.” Simple yet powerful. And the niners were done
Barkley needs to watch clips of Joe.
10:44: I still can't believe what I am seeing here. You young folks out there have no idea what Jerry Rice making a run and catch like this meant. It's like Michael Jordan missing a dunk undefended.
As a 49ers fan, this was a terrible loss, 2nd only to next year's loss to the Vikings, IMHO. Thanks for posting.
Jesus Jerry Rice was running for a touchdown on that first drive on that slant!
Would have been a completely different game and quite possibly history if he didn’t fumble that!
Or the score could have been 49-10. They had Rice locked down pretty well after that. Belechick was already making adjustments on the sideline.
Good ol Giants Stadium
In the 1985 and 86 playoffs, Phil Simms threw 6 total touchdown passes against the 49ers.
Joe Montana in those games threw no touchdown passes and 3 interceptions leading his team to 6 total points.
The genius Bill Walsh!
I know the Marshall hit in 1990 NFC Championship is the one many remember, but Burt knocking Montana out here is just as or is more brutal. It's funny that the hit on Simms (that gnarly helmet to his mouth/chin on the prior TD pass) perhaps catalyzed Burt into nearly nearly killing Joe Montana here, while it was Burt himself that made Marshall do the same 4 years later.
100% right and agree with everything you said. Go Giants!
Giants/ 49ers games in the 80s were absolute wars. It was when football was football. The Giants defense in the era of the Two Bills was positively ferocious. They were the only team during that time that could contain Montana and as you note, they knocked him out of those two playoff games.
At 10:40 when Rice fumbled that ball that should have been a TD, that set the tone for the ass kicking the 49ers were going get . That should have been a closer game, but when Jerry Rice fumbled that ball it gave ALL the momentum to the Giants.
it's pretty cool to see games from two successful home field advantage runs by the Giants in the same stadium in two separate eras.
49ers fan here. I picked the Giants to win the SB after this game. It didn't matter if they played the Redskins or Bears.
That was the best Giants team of my lifetime. 1986 was a special team.
After watching the 1981 Giants beat Philly and lose to San Fran and the 1984 team beat the Rams and lose to San Fran, I hated the 49ers. Even after beating them in 1985 I still felt like they had our number. When this game happened, I was totally stunned.
madrecka I would have rather seen them play the Bears in the nfc title game then the Redskins. you would've had had to 14-2 teams in the NFC Championship Game, even though the Bears didn't have their quarterback because Jim McMahon got cheap shot it by that Packers defensive lineman so the Giants probably would have won, but if Jim McMahon was healthy I can see the Bears going into New York and beating the Giants. I think the Giants would have had the home-field advantage on a tiebreaker even though both teams were 14-2.
TL2354 Yep the day before the Redskins beat the Bears in Chicago.
I don't what hit was worse, Jim Burts in this game on Montana, or Leonard Marshalls in the 1990 champ game, out in S.F., when he rolled out to his right, and got hit in the back; those were two vicious hits
After this game I was calling Big Blue the New York Forty-Niners--one of my favorite games ever.
Mine too, Rob. I thought the stadium was going to crumble, we were so loud. Great day, great memories.
"that is an artificial turf turn over". John Madden was the best.
Do you guys remember the crowd chanting near the end of the game, "we want the Bears! We want the Bears!" We assumed Chicago was going to win later that afternoon. Some of the greatest memories I've ever had in my 43 years on earth
I actually remember that Bears chant the year before at the 1985 Wild Card game vs. SF. At this game I remember "we want the Skins" chants, since WASH had won the day before over the Bears and that was our next opponent in the NFC Championship Game.
The Bears game was the previous day. The fans were chanting "We Want Washington."
One of the most devastated an frightening defense the giants
Needless to say.....that was probably the only time the legend Jerry Rice fumbled a ball away throughout his illustrious career...
1:26:05 "He has a concussion...he'll probably play in the 2nd half"
That would never fly nowadays. Fast-forward for years later and the Giants would knock out Montana even worse as in this game.
That was the NFL. Concussions were not sufficient to keep players off the field. Shake it off and get back out there.
There are different degrees of a concussion a real bad one sends you to the hospital not playing in the second half even back then.
Luke Enno people didn't know that concussions could lead to CTE
I’m surprised he didn’t play next series
This was the worst beat down the 49ers suffered in the Montana era. To put things in perspective Brady in all his playoff games has never lost by more than 18 points in his 20 years in the league.
Brady never faced anything like this Giants team. Ever.
@@TheWakeup011 the LOB Seahawks were just as good as these Giants and the 2004 Steelers and 2015 Broncos were not rhat far off.
Phil Simms was brilliant in this game and even better in the superbowl
who remembers the '81 divisional playoff game at the Stick? the underdog Scott Brunner/Rob Carpenter team sure gave the 49ers a run for their money..
Hopefully we get back to these days soon💙😁
"Who's the genius now?" Love it! Forget Belichick. He can't hold Parcell's jock.
These 2 teams went at it for a decade back and forth
And the Redskins you left them out
Right after herb Welch's interception, first play from scrimmage, I love the moment. Pat Summeral says, "Morris is gone." And the crowd goes insane the second Joe hits the hole. Game over. You could tell in real time. Not today Niners. It's going to get bad for you today. I haven't been to the new stadium, so I can't compare, but there was something about the old Giants Stadium. Not saying it was louder than other stadia, but the noise was different. The fans knew the game. And you could tell on this play, the second Morris hit that hole, that the fans knew there was going to be slaughter.
Belichik, has had the good fortune, of coaching the greatest individual defensive, and offensive players ever in the league
I attended this game!
I was at this game and the next one and the one after that 😎
Carl Banks was incredible in the SB as well as
I was at this game, was lucky to go to several games in 1986.
two of the greatest minds in football history offense /Walsh vs defense/parcells each time these two teams meet u have slug fest not to many average and beat a very talented st qb relay didnt belong on this list parcels a genius he pick a small fast runningback
San Francisco ran into a very big buzz saw
a very "Big Blue" buzzsaw
That defense was underrated as far as I’m concerned. Every bit as good as the Bears.
@@ephraimfink9010 true and I'm a Redskins fan
The Hall of Famers in this single game is unreal...

This game was over before halftime but the Giants didnt lose the lead nor game
I was in upper deck 15yrs old my cousin and I walked in late, heard a sigh from crowd, ran to nearest tunnel and saw Rice gone I was sick then the fumble then I just remember killing them. My cousin passed away in 2000 at age 42 this game and then we went again next week to championship game will always be my memories with him
Nice. Thanks for sharing that memory, Geoffrey and may your cousin rest in peace. The '86 season and especially the playoffs are my very favorite Giants memories. Being in the stadium for the playoff games was the ultimate for me as a lifelong Giants fan. Incredible and you had to be there to fully appreciate it. Go Giants!
The Giants showed the 49ers 49 alright.. I miss the Giants being this good.. 49-3
The Giants D is beautiful to watch.
i asked Jerry about that fumble and he said he learned how to hold the ball better in cold weather. true pro, learned from his mistake.
Decade of the 80s was the decade of the NFC East. Except for St Louis Cardinal (yes, they were in the NFC East), all East teams were good.
Are you able to bless us with the championship game as well?
Thanks for posting i was 14 and a giants fan growing up in ny. Everything finally came to together this year, simms stayed healthy and the rest is history.
Funny enough, I've tried posting the NFC Championship Game vs. Wash. 5 times and UA-cam took it down every time. I guess I have the commercials from the broadcast so it got flagged. Not sure why this one got through.
These teams met 5 times in the post season between 1981 and 1990.
The winner went on to win the super bowl in 4 of those 5 occasions.
Giants won 3 out of those 5 meetings.
When the NFC East owned the Super Bowl trophy....
Mark rambo bavaro
My favorite game of this era. Not a great game or anything like that. But a fun game for a Giant fan. After never winning anything it looked like the Giants were on their way.
It's mine too. It was a breakthrough game after so many years of coming close and building to something. This is the game when the dam finally broke.
These two teams played twice during the 1986 season. The first 2 quarters the 49ers outscored the Giants 17-0…….But over the next 5 quarters the Giants put a serious beatdown on the 49ers outscoring them 70-3 leaving no doubt who the superior team was that year!
was so good before they started rigging it , and players seemed to play for their team and the fans, not for themselves,..I remember they used to say Jimmy Hoffa was buried under the 50 yard line
After the hit he took, I remember that Montana had to stay in New York for a week because the doctors didn’t want him flying because he was so seriously hurt.
Jim Burt for PRESIDENT
Larry Curry love Jim Burt no64
Bring back these Giants jerseys
QB’s don’t take hits like Montana and Simms took in this game anymore. That’s why guys like Brady and Rodgers can play into their 40’s.
The hits were clean. Go away
The Giants are ready to rev up their DEFENSE again in 2017!!
I hope you're right
Time now for NFL History Quiz. Jerry Rice's fumble on a sure TD at 10:50 was caused by:
a) Artificial turf
b) "Gamesmanship" (a nod to Bill Walsh's explanation to Bill Parcells' allegation that the 49ers were cheating with the phones-off rule in prior matches)
c) Divine İntervention
d) None of the Above.
You make the call!
James Tressler or other: buttery fingers
e) No stickum
The Giants were notorious for playing with doors @ the Meadowlands to create wind drafts so don't discount cheating. Don't forget, Bellicheat was the Giants DC.
riiiiiight.
C
Burt visited Montana in the hospital to check on him fwiw.
Between Jim Burts hit on Montana, and Leonard Marshalls hit on Montana a few years later in San Fran, don't know which one was worse; Giants really gave him a beating in those years
