With the Giants vs. Tampa game coming up this weekend, why not go back to a previous game when the Giants had a very meaningful contest against the Bucs in Tampa.
This was the game in which we saw the Simms vs. Hostetler argument play out in front of us. Ray Handley made the decision to start Hoss in the 1991 season and sat Simms on the bench. To Simms' credit, he didn't make waves and was supportive, if not happy.
The Giants struggled under Handley, but for a stretch in 1991, with the Redskins running away with the division, the Giants got back in the playoff hunt and needed to win against a bad Bucs team. But Tampa gave the Giants all they could handle, and in the process a hit on Hoss ended up fracturing a bone in his back and brought Simms off the bench. In this case, Simms, showing little rust would lead a dramatic late win, passing up the field goal and going to Baker for the winning TD.
As always, any other requests, send them my way.
Enjoy!

I have erased these two seasons from my mind.
I enjoyed some of your quick notes next to the games you have, for example Giants vs Philly 2010 " Matt Dodge..ugh" lol.
Question, have you ever presented a loss? I know, it's way more fun to remember the good times but just curious. I was thinking of the 2002 Titans game but I don't think you have it anyway.
The 2007 Eagles/Osi game would be fun next week if you had the time.
Thanks for these.
Also, that’s where I met a fan who turned me on to ‘Inside Football’.

Ha, thanks, yeah, I threw those little reminders in there.
I have thought about reviewing a loss, haven't done it yet, but might do it in the offseason. And I can look to do the 7 sack Osi game. I have another one in the works now that should be done in a few days.

Why didn't you come over and say hi?

I remember telling some Bucs’ fans that their fortunes were about to change with Parcells coming there to coach. Then he left Culverhouse at the Altar.
