Title: Video: Giants beat 49ers in 1987 Divisional Playoff
Post by: Mr. Matt on December 24, 2015, 06:06:46 PM
I have not watched this game since I saw it live when I was six years old. What a total domination of a very, very good team by the Giants.

Take your chance to watch legends like Carson, Banks, and Burt rough up Bill Walsh's west coast offense before they take this down for copyright issues...enjoy!

Is it hard for anyone else to watch a Giant team with real linebackers ???

So cool Ed. I never got to see those childhood heroes in person. I finally got to the old stadium in 1996 and then saw them loose one game every season for the next five. Broke the streak when I ponied up to get tickets to the 2001 NFC Championship Game my junior year of college. What a way to break through.

I try not to compare.

But how about Banks in this game? Not sure I have ever seen an LB sacrifice his body that way to blow up running plays.

THANKS for putting it on, Matt!  I have it on DVD & watch every once in a while.  In the after game interview, Walsh was asked, "What would have happened if Rice didn't drop the ball and gone in for the touchdown?"  He answered, "It would've been 49 - 10."

Graet game to watch after tonight's game. :yes:
