Not that this is a game that I want to re-live (nor will I do a review of it), but someone posted the full game of the 2001 Giants @ Eagles game. It was a back and forth game as the Giants were fighting to make the playoffs at 7-7. After Aikers hit the FG to take the lead 24-21, and the Giants on the 20 yard line with :07 and no timeouts, you'd figure to get a hail mary, or a Cal-Stanford type thing.
We got the Jim Fassel inspired "Lambuth Special", a pass over the middle to Tiki Barber, who flipped the ball back to Ron Dixon, the fastest guy on the team. In a variation of the hook and ladder, Dixon got the ball and raced up the sidelines with blockers in front. Bobby Taylor was the only guy in front to slow it up at all, as Jurevicius got out to block him. Toomer also out in front, had a tough job trying to block Mickell coming over as well. Dixon was downed at the 4 yard line and I can say I've never seen a play like this before and couldn't believe it as it happened.
Someone posted the full game (Eagles fan apparently). So if you want to go back and see the Lambuth Special again, here is your chance.

So I kept my mouth shut and just watched. F#ck, they almost did it.
Man now I'm going to have to watch it and relive the agony. Fuck!
wish nfl rewind doesn't only go back to the 2009 season. just put all the damn games up for sale, or at least the classics from each year. they would make a lot of money
That was the point in that season where our offense really came alive and I think a lot of us were like.. "whoa.. I've never seen a dynamic Giant offense like this".. but with Barber, Toomer at his best, Shockey.. we had some weapons... and Collins played really well.

I'm angry all over again. Dammit we were so close!
That game was awesome.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't we still have needed TB to beat Philly the next week and for us to beat GB the next week in order to get in? Still would have been an awesome win though.
Armstead, Hamilton, etc took no shit from anyone.
