Your Favorite MNF Game

Grey Pilgrim : 8/17/2022 9:16 am
I was at this game!

Monday Night Miracle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday_Night_Miracle_(American_football) - ( New Window )
My favorite in terms of anticipation was the 1990 game against SF  
BLUATHRT : 8/17/2022 9:26 am : link
Both teams were undefeated at the time and playing great football. Was a D battle NYG lost but set up the toughness I think that propelled them to the SB XXV title.

Any Giants fan knows a MNF game will be disastrous
If we're going to pick a Jets' MNF game,  
Section331 : 8/17/2022 9:35 am : link
I'll go to the one I was at, when the Jets gave out hats and some numbskulls lit them on fire and tossed them from the upper deck.

That led to the "no alcohol after the 3rd qtr" rule. Thanks Jets.

That was the most intense MNF game I can recall watching.

I believe the final score was reached in the first half.

Yes, late in the 1986 season.

My favorite non Giants Monday night games:

Bears vs Dolphins 1985 ( phins win) and Miami vs Houston (Earl Campbell's big game).

Speaking of the Jets anyone remember when the Jets lost on a FG to the Lions at the end of the year? It cost them the playoffs and the Jets PK missed the FG by about 7 miles lol maybe 2000?

I always thought that was funny and remember it
The Bavaro game was my favorite

I think my favorite non-Giants game was the night Brett Favre's dad died and Brett still played an insane game.

At least that's one that stands out.

The one with the big flag -- I don't remember either. There are big flags at many games. Some stretch across the whole field.

is kind of random, but Wash at GB in 1983(?). Played in a snowstorm, and Theisman and Lynn Dickey had a duel, both throwing for nearly 400 yards when that was not a regular occurrence. I don't remember the final score, and don't care enough to look it up, but both teams were in the 40's, IIRC.

at Candlestick against the 9ers was as good a hitting game as I've ever seen. It was a defensive masterpiece by both sides.

And I believe this game was instrumental in giving NYG the confidence to march into Candlestick six weeks later and end the three-peat quest by that great, great 49ers team.

My friend is a Jet fan I remember watching that at his house. That was Parcells first season as Jet coach in 1997. There was also a major injury in that game somebody on the Lions got paralyzed I believe

... the Giants won a much more important Monday Night game at home against the Redskins. They were coming off an ugly loss to Seattle, and came in already a game behind Washington. It was a rough night for both defenses. The Giants couldn't stop Gary Clark and the Redskins couldn't stop, well, anyone - especially Joe Morris. But Parcells figured a 20-3 lead was safe, and almost let the division slip away by taking his foot off the gas.

Turned out to be a good gut check for a team that was still learning how to seal the deal. First of twelve straight wins en route to the SB XXI trophy.

Some may recall that night more for a baseball game. I vaguely remember a ball going through somebody's legs. Whatever.

LT had 3 sacks that night and Jacoby was fighting PTSD most of the evening. Ray Knight hit his Series Game 7 homer during the cadence on a Washington 3rd down. When the crowd erupted, Jacoby stood up and the flags flew. The sound was as loud as any post-season etc. I've experienced. Good times.

I was at the game, and the intensity in the stadium was immense. The game played out almost exactly like the NFCCG in Candlestick Park the previous January. The winners of the three previous Super Bowl going at one another for the full 60 minutes.

Regardless of how the rest of the season played out - shockingly, neither team qualified for the playoffs that year - this game was awesome and remains a tremendous memory for me.

Jimmy Googs : 8/17/2022 3:14 pm : link
Although later during the Eli-era it seemed like even the decent Giant teams didn't do very well on Sunday/Monday Night.

Then it just turned into being bad both during the day and night. SNF/MNF became comical whippings at the hands of the Eagles and Cowboys.

The 1986 game versus Redskins when the Mets were also in the World Series was probably the most memorable. The epic Niner game in 1990 was also a good one when it became clear that the NYG offense needed a different kind of spark to get past these guys (Hoss was that spark).

I hope they've made up by now.

Word on the street is Burt fed Lott a bunch of supposed NYG trash talk that the Niners weren't physical or tough or whatever, and I guess he might've put Simms on the forefront of that.

Yes. Montana and Young missed games. Steve Bono stepped in and actually won 5-6 games in a row.

That team/organization was the gold standard from 1981 to 1995. Incredible players, coaching, management/ownership.

Thanks. I know Montana was out the entire '91 season. I guess I forgot about Young missing time.

Ah, the immortal Steve Bono. To be fair to Bono, he led the Chiefs to the #1 overall seed in '95 only for Lin Elliott to miss like 342884284248 FGs in their loss to the Harbaugh led Colts. Those Chiefs teams were snakebit.

The Curse of Marty for sure. Marty Schottenheimer was a great HC. He won 200 football games in the regular season. That's a lot of games; and I think he averaged 10 wins per season over his career.

But the playoffs were his kryptonite. Personally, I think he's a HoF coach, but I don't think he'll ever get in...

They didn't need the confidence. They knew they were better and could beat them. They were still kicking themselves for 1989 and 1988.

On D, Parcells and BB had to feel super-confident coming into the game based on past performances against the 49ers.

I don't know how they felt about Hoss since he was never in a game that big. Hell, I felt similarly. I was hoping we could just keep it close and at least be in a position to win it in the 4th.

Yep absolutely the gold standard. In many ways I still feel more proud of nyg in them beating or even hanging with those niners 80s teams than than in them beating the pats teams under belichick.

That game was ridiculously uplifting and big at the time. Remember being so pumped and then to see the giants win the easier games they needed to get, chiefs and some other slub at the time, line themselves up for a fucking bye week eastern crown if they can beat the jets… I was at that fiasco… what a fucked up season 88 was. Very similar to 2010. Both 10 win wasted seasons.

Obviously the Bavaro game vs the Niners was great but my favorite has to be the '89 opener vs the skins in DC because I was there. The Raul Allegre 52 yd fg to win it at the gun. Great back and forth game. That stadium was so loud all night and then became instantly silent once Allegre nailed that kick. It was music to a Giants fan's ears.

If you were old enough to endure the 80s era niners the 90 win at the stick will forever hold a special place in ny giants lore. The niners were the pats before the pats were fuck all. Pre cap. Going for a three peat. In their house.

Of course. That 90 game is one of my favorite games.

I'll take beating a team who never lost a single game, thank you very much. Tom Brady has 7 Super Bowl rings. Could've had more if it wasn't for the Giants. Of course we have to mention BBI's favorite (The Eagles) but Super Bowl 42 was one Bill was actually trying to win, unlike 52.

that 15-13 win over the 49ers is the greatest game and win I have seen by NYG.

Beating the undefeated Pats was tremendous, but beating that 49ers team, who was going for an incomparable three-peat, in San Francisco with a back-up QB was absolutely brilliant.

I was a teenager at the time and thought we had won the SB.

Didn't SF go 10-6 in '91 & still missed the postseason?

I don't remember much of that MNF opener vs. SF outside of RH's hideous shirt.



Yes. Montana and Young missed games. Steve Bono stepped in and actually won 5-6 games in a row.

That team/organization was the gold standard from 1981 to 1995. Incredible players, coaching, management/ownership.



Yep absolutely the gold standard. In many ways I still feel more proud of nyg in them beating or even hanging with those niners 80s teams than than in them beating the pats teams under belichick. I know the pats won more titles, but those niners teams just had so much pure star power and glitz to me.


Same here. That was such a great, great rivalry despite the 9ers being in the NFCW.

Should have been able to punch a TD in that game but SF was a tough nut.

Still remember that fake punt snap to Reasons. Hoss taking big hits but kept plugging along.

Epic game...

The dumbest word in here was "but"

Literally nothing will top Super Bowl 42. I don't care how much Stranger Things has impacted our democracy in the past 6 years. Let's face it, there's a certain line with older BBIers that nothing will be better than their timeline and are guilty of serving the inaccuracies to everyone how only their timeline matters.

Tom Brady is the greatest fucking QB of all time. End of discussion.

I am ambassador to the future and reality. I made a few calls and we're replacing the Glennon/Fromm games with anything worse than the boring lecture about the 60s/70s.

Try again.
