when the ref collided with Roy Williams in the end zone. Not a historically significant play but the throw and catch was beautiful. Eli escaping to his left and unleashing a BOMB.
Giants up big. They blow the lead. Dallas scores a TD on last play to win on a great catch. Giants challenge. TOs finger touched the line as he came down. Out of bounds. Time expires. Giants win. Could have heard a pin drop in that shit hole stadium. Pure bliss.
I know Eric said a game would be too easy, but I loved the Week 17 game that same year. Flexed to primetime because winner takes NFC East and loser misses the playoffs. It was like Dallas completely forgot that they had to play that day.
On the first down of that last series of downs, Cowboys had a false start that tipped the pattern they ran on the fourth down. RW was ready.
Another note on that play: Terry Glenn, Romo's intended receiver, hadn't caught a pass that entire 2007 regular season (because of knee surgery) and would never play in the NFL again.

There used to be a video somewhere of Jacobs telling the Giants before they leave the tunnel “The Palace in Dallas is about to get knocked the F*$k down”. It was awesome. I think you hear Diehl say “damn straight”
OBJ catch was against the Cowboys. So was the Domenik Hixon punt return for a TD.
But my favorite was the R.W. McQuarters interception of Romo in the 2008 playoff game. I admit that my decision is somewhat personal. That game was the last time I spent with my late father. We watched it together at his assisted living facility. He died the next morning.
Your post almost makes me feel guilty for where I was during that play. Just having finished four days in Vegas with about twenty friends gambling on the divisional round of the playoffs and just general debauchery. Last call for boarding of my flight was called and I was at the bar watching that play with one eye on my gate to make sure they didn’t close the door.
Knowing how your time was spent makes me feel like my time was a waste.
Condolences to you. And I’m glad you guys got to spend such a special moment prior to the last.

Quite a historically significant play in hindsight, I would say even moreso than the attempted murder of Joe Montana by Leonard Marshall in 1991. Dallas was 6-2 and locked in a three-way tie with the Giants and Washington, and it was, in theory, anyone's division at that point.
Banks comes free on a blitz and obliterates White, ending his season. Dallas finishes the year at 7-9, their first losing season since their 1964 campaign. In '87 (the strike year), they're 7-8. In 1988, they go 3-13. Fed up with Tom Landry and hemorrhaging personal capital, then owner H.R. Bright sells the team to You Know Who, and we know the rest.
Rodney Hampton nearly carrying 1993 &. 1995 Giants to victories
Second play of the third quarter, after Dallas fumbled the kickoff. Simms seals the rout with a strike to Mowatt in traffic, on a play where the receivers were probably closer than intended. Andy Headen’s TD around 5:10 is fun too.
The Giants had eked out narrow, unlikely wins against Dallas in 1980 and 1981, but this was the first time I believed we actually had the better team. Mowatt’s TD allowed me to finally relax against the Cowboys. (I know - Gary Hogeboom, but still…) Simms to Mowatt at the 9-minute mark of the highlights - ( New Window )
This ^ and the JPP field goal block. Both SB seasons baby!
Yup. That’s mine.
That win felt so improbable at the time.
I still get depressed thinking about how we wasted a first rounder on a quarterback from Duke!
...
The Kevin Boss catch before the half might be the biggest.
...
I was thinking that one too.
Amd JPP blocked FG.
Here's the play. Definitely the farthest ball Eli ever threw in a game.

Thats my video/channel :)
That was 2012 and Dez Bryant
And then Cruz's long td in the season finale.
JPP's blocked field goal to end the game.

Not even a play!

Thank you.
That one play led to the Giant playoff victory and propelled them into relevance for the first time in 18 years.

That was the game, but if I had to pick a play, it was the Byron Hunt interception in OT that set up the Danelo kick.
Runner up play was LT blocking pass, catching it, and running it in for a TD in Texas Stadium.
Yup. Probably my favorite Papa call of all time.
