What is your favorite Giants/Eagles game?

The comeback in 2006 Plaxico yelling

"get that shit outta here!" In OT

game

at philly..

also first game of 1990

also first game of 97

Sehorn INT.

I'd like to add the dozen sack game of McNabb. The offense didn't make it pretty but damn, that was so fun to watch. Watched with my brother, who lives the Eagles as much as I love the Giants, and I was just laughing my ass off while Winston Justice nearly gave him a stroke at 22.

and Osi had six of them

He owned them.
But if I had to pick one it'd be the playoff game where Dixon ran back the kickoff. I was lucky enough to be there for that one.

the 2006 game because everyone made such a big deal about that 2010 comeback for the Eagles and it still gets brought up as if it's something relevant. It feels like the 06 comeback-er against the Eagles was forgotten about the very next day. Always rub Eagles fan's noses in the dirt about that one.

....1981 Wild Card Playoff Game.

Any game the Giants play and beat them..

Concur.

Probably the '00 divisional game.

Also, the Halloween game in '99 where Strahan took the INT back to the house in OT for the win.

These youngsters just don t get it.

Yup!!! First time in the playoffs in eons...
Big win follwed by a respectable but disappointing loss to the then powerfull 9'ers

guys for not putting the 1981 game on their list. I put The Fumble game at #2 for me. Without that unmitigated disaster, I firmly believe we don't get to where we are today. Hell, maybe it should be my #1.

1972

was a fun game to watch in the end and loved how the guys put it all out there. I remember Toomer having to be carried off hte field at the end.

in 2006...best one.

2006 comeback in Philly
2007 12 sack game
2000 playoff game (Dixon's opening kickoff TD was an awesome moment)
1990, opening night, when we hadn't beaten the Eagles in years. Those goddamned Buddy Ryan teams, so scummy, who always seemed to have the Giants' number. Meggett took a punt return to the house to take the lead, and they hung on for a tough win.
1986's 35-3 asskicking. Held the Eagles to about 100 yards total offense and LT damned near killed Jaworski.

Eli's comeback in philly with that throw to plax in overtime comes to mind too.

The night after my wedding. Put an exclamation point on a great weekend.

back in 1981 season after about a decade or so of incompetence. Big win with Rob Carpenter going off running the ball.


HOME GAME - The playoff game from 2000 season. Ron Dixon and Sehorn steal the show.

We had just moved back to Pensacola and didn't even have our cable set up yet, so I went to a sports bar to watch. Think I was the only Giants fan in the place, and the table across from me was loaded with drunken, obnoxious Eagles fans (but I repeat myself). They started off loud and just got louder and louder as the first half progressed, taunting me the entire time. Couldn't do anything but sit there with steam coming outta my ears. The comeback, and their subsequent reactions to it, was just absolutely priceless after that.

it has to be the wild card game in 1981 after 18 years of lousy football finally a playoff game and a win to boot.

.

With Barber's 4 fumbles, Shockey's catch, Akers missing a game-sealing chip shot and Bryant's OT field goal to send the Giants to the playoffs.

But it was also like week 3 or 4 if I remember correctly, where as the 02 game was week 17.

My favorite is the 2001 playoff game. I had just moved into the Philly area. The Giants' owned the Eagles that year and the years prior. For that playoff game, McNabb was on the rise so all week the talk in Philly was, the Eagles are better than the Giants and are going to win. Heard it at work, on the radio, anywhere I went. Ron Dixon, opening kickoff of the game, see you later.

game from November of 1981 ,That got the ball rolling for that team because i don't think we beat them there since 1975 .And that game gave that team alot of confidence for the rest of the 1981 season .

when the Giants destroy their psyche & their season.

I've only been to 4 Giants games, and that was one of them. After 3 quarters, I wanted to be just about any place other than at the game seeing all the Eagle fans celebrating. I couldn't believe it when they came back.

where Shockey ripped the ball right out of Dawkins hands in the end zone.

What year was that? 2002?

Yup. This one. Remember they came our jumped on the eagles something like 21-0 but held on to something like 27-20 win.

what a fuckin game

Wildcard, December 27, 1981, at Philadelphia Eagles, W 27–21

The first Giants playoff appearance in close to 20 years. Beating the Eagles was sweet!

But I do like the "Pickle Juice" game, just to keep the media quiet.

coming out of the desert and entering the promised land of competitive football.

!

most memorbale for me was a game at the old stadium mid 80s attempting to TG. It was so cold that my mustard froze before I could spread it on my sammy. We had to eat in the car. I was also at the Banks - Randall C missed tackle game, perhaps that was it?

97 Opener, Sam Garnes 95yrd INT return to seal it.

2000 playoff game, Dixon, Sehorn, GREAT defense from Strahan and Jesse

is probably the loudest I have ever heard Giants Stadium though

but most Memorable, The "Bednarik" game...I thought Gifford was dead

I forgot to mention that game. I completely forgot even though it occurred 6 years before I was born. Silly me!

Two reasons. First, because that was the day my little boy was born. Second, because they won big due to the amazing emergence of Mr. Cruz. Just a truly memorable and magical day.


As for the best games I ever watched, it would be tie between the 1981 and 2000 playoff games. Just awesome for many reasons.

At the time, that was a huge win. The Eagles were such a damned thorn in the Giants' side in those days, and indeed were again later in the year when they were the only team that took the 1990 Giants to the woodshed, 31-13. The other two losses that year, to the Niners and Bills, were 7-3 and 17-13.

Edge goes to 2001. The Sehorn interception was right below where I was sitting.

Are all of the ones that we won! I hate losing to those f******

...is that Simms didn't play, which made the win a little bittersweet for his most devoted fans.

I'll go with a more obscure one: the 1985 opener, a 21-0 win in which Marshall and Taylor combined for six sacks and the Giants ran all over the Eagle defense. I think Jaworski was hospitalized afterward, though I might have the wrong game.

This has to be it. Underdogs, new comers to the post season, Brunner playing for an injured Simms, no one gives us a chance, and Carpenter just demolishes them for 160 yards. We get ahead 20-0 and held on. My happiest day as a Giants fan until the 1986 Super bowl.

LT also made some big plays on special teams...

Eli, Plax, and Toomer were incredible. What a comeback

Giants 56 Eagles 0 at the Polo Grounds.

The first time is always the best

A first Q pass to Harry Newman from Hap Moran and the Jints never looked back.

The boys really put it to em that day.

Now get off my lawn!!

i was actually there. I sat with my buddy "Concrete Mark" who laid down the whole Camden aquarium. He's a strong build. 5 foot 6 tall. We went with his girlfriends friend's 8 sons and it was his 18th birthday and we found out he was such a lightweight that day and he tried to take 18 shots and then 18 hits of weed. couldn't do it...no no no @ the Wildflowers LOl. They're open! bag it.

Game was so great. All the Eagle fans did was taunt us when they were winning and then he turned around and called them "The Beagles" and they started making fun of him and then he put on his "hunting hat" backward and nobody fucked with him.

We all took a picture for the to send to his grandma. The kid put up the middle finger. He's not allowed back into my house, because I don't go to your house and go in your cabinets.
