1. Steve Smith 3rd and 11.
2. Mark Ingram 3rd and 13.
3. Phil McConkey flea flicker to the 1 yard line.
4. Eli to Manningham on the sideline.
5. Taylor recovers fumble against SF.
running through two blockers to tackle the Packers RB on a screen. It's likely the Packers score on that drive and the Giants lose.
The Tackle - ( New Window )
Obviously, for me, Tyree is number 1 but this play was on my mind as well as Jacobs trucking Woodson right from the get go setting the tone of that game.
Tyree or manningham but the Antonio pierce play was amazing. Also, one I haven’t seen mentioned, is osi stripping Rodgers just as he was about to throw it to jennings who was wide open
Mark Ingram fighting for first down on 3rd and 13
OJ uppercut
Antonio Pierce basically tackling an OL and RB
Jacobs smashing Woodson - setting tone for game.
Hoss holding onto the ball for safety vs. Bills TD
Eli to Manningham
Re., the Eli to Tyree's helmet, the catch itself isn't among my favorites. My favorite part of that play was Eli staying upright so long in the middle of the pass rush; long enough to be able to make the pass.
was the Gary Reasons fake punt in the 90 NFC title game.
Another one was not a play, but the goal line stand against Denver. Denver was winning at that point 10-7 and were really having their way with us, that stop (and the missed fg on the next series was huge).
Also, Mark Collins smashing Andre Reed in the first quarter of xxv, which set the tone of that game.
the Jeff Rutedlege fake punt was not such a great play, but it was a great call in an era when many coaches did not go for that type of stuff
Even when Tyree caught the helmet ball and plax scored a few plays later I couldn’t allow myself to believe that the giants were going to win and complete the dream run. Only when Alford sacked Brady did I actually think and say aloud holy shit they are going to win this game. Of course we still had to hold our breath with those two hail Mary’s, but the giants did in fact hold on.
It’s highly possible that the Alford sack was the 3rd or 4th biggest play of super bowl 42. Who knows what happens without that play. The pats only needed a fg to tie.
Marshall destroying Montana as well.

Yes, pick 6. But I think it was Burt who hit Montana.

Antonio?
Eli to Tyree was just like....what did I just see jawdropping.
BJ setting tone on Woodson in NFC Champ game.......BOOM.

oppps, sorry NON playoff.
Mark Bavaro is my all time favorite Giants player so the plays mentioned above are all favorites.

The Tackle - ( New Window )
Surprised this wasn’t mentioned sooner. Such an amazing game saving play.
Happened so fast, like third offensive play of game?
Slant to Toomer.
Tiki run.
Then Hilliard...............
technically I think that's a scoring play. Better than it could have been for the Giants, but still disqualified by conditions of the OP.
That play "got em going"...
Bill Parcells the biggest gambler on 4th down - ( New Window )
The determination there was unreal.....
Pierce against the Packers in Lambeau.

4th and 17 vs. the Vikings 1986 - ( New Window )
Anderson's was up there for me -- but Pierce's was spectacular
Lots of great plays mentioned, but this is by far the best
The Hit - ( New Window )
Because we are talking postseason here :)

Postseason :)

+1
Woodson can still feel that one. He’s admitteded after the fact it affected him the rest of that game
Ingram 3rd and 13, Pierce’s screen pass tackle, and obviously the helmet catch are great calls too, along with several others

I guess that is kind of ironic, but did you mean the LT recovering the Craig fumble in 1990 or the Devin Taylor recovery in 2012?
