41 years ago, the miracle in the meadowlands.....the maras were finally embarrassed enough, and at their wits end with their hapless and hopeless New York giants. How time flies. At least the replay is in color, although in the old 4x3 aspect ratio.... lets hope, for a resurgent 2020 version of george young, so at least as they rebuild once again, they can do so with some exciting defensive players and mindset, because as of now, this team might as well be getting out of a mr. Softie truck as they arrive at the stadium.
I know it ultimately changed everything for the team, but man, that was a tough, tough loss to stomach.

Yes, its The Fumble. It was anything but a miracle.
But I watched that game live and that level of awfulness I knew was something I had to firmly get behind. Loyal ever since.
We all stopped and stood there for a minute in shock, and then proceeded onto the escalators down talking about what a shit-show this team was...
Thanks for scratching open an old wound

In NFL-wide vernacular, The Fumble is Ernest Byner’s fumble in the 1987 playoffs against the Broncos, and the Pisarcik fumble is the Miracle at the Meadowlands. Seems sort odd for one team’s fan base to just give different names to famous plays.
While even Raider fans mock :”The Immaculate Reception” on the belief it was not a legal catch, they don’t pretend that isn’t what the play is known as.

Yup. The fumble. My dad never said a word. Slapped his palms on his thighs, looked at me, got up, shut off the TV, and left the room. I just sat there stunned.
I was in my usual seat... section 131, row 2, seat 12. However, the game was virtually over and we were already walking around the concourse heading towards the exit. We were watching right behind the handicapped section and saw it all happen.

Giants' fans called that play "The Fumble" long before Earnest Byner screwed up in January 1988.
Someone said above that the fumble was the best thing that ever happened for Giants fans and I agree. You know what else was great for Giant fans? 2003. Which turned into a needed coaching change and Eli Manning. If 2-14 this year turns into Chase Young and a much needed coaching change that would be excellent.
As soon as Herman Edwards started galloping towards the end zone I threw my heavy beer mug at the TV and shattered the screen.
My grandfather calls me and says, "Did you see that?" I told him to story and he tells me to come over and pick up his extra TV.
Agree on "the most important play in Giants history" comments
