1981 Week 12 Giants at Eagles

A big regular season game that would see the Giants begin their 4-1 stretch run to the 1981 Playoffs.

[@bxfdny]

Over 13 minutes without a commercial to start the game! Those days are long gone!

[@shanetrimble9265]

You can say that again

[@gregpettis1113]

And the commercials had white people

[@chriscalvert8023]

Love it whenever I find a game called by Pat Summerall and John Madden.

The original "Crunch Bunch" Linebacking crew - Carson, Van Pelt, Kelley, LT!

[@radarrob1443]

Great vid, thanks. Madden called it, “some team will win 3 of last 5 and be the 5th wildcard team.” Giants won 3 of last 5 and were 5th wildcard team. Even won the wildcard rd game at Eagles before losing to eventual SB champ 49ers

[@juliansmith4352]

1981 was the first season that CBS replace Tom Brookshier with John Madden as he and Pat Summerall became the greatest pro football broadcasting partnership of all time

[@shanetrimble9265]

Yes but Summerall Brookshire was a tad better in my opinion

[@brianb7423]

@@shanetrimble9265 with all due respect, are you kidding me?

[@gregpettis1113]

Why did they replace Brookshire

Great game! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!!

thanks so much for this. i'll be watching this sunday with beer and wings

I watch old games on YT on Sunday instead of modern games. So much better and like a time machine.

Hey thanks again Ken! Always thrilled to see you've posted again!!!

Best uniforms ever for both these teams.

Thanks so much. Keep'em coming

Never watched a giants game before 84 when I became a fan, shall look forward to this not knowing or checking wiki for the result

[@BlazeOfGlory742]

Ironically Beasley Reese who was a safety for the Giants became a longtime Sports Broadcaster in Philadelphia who retired about 4 years ago.

[@Henry-jr1lj]

I remember this game like yesterday! This 1981 loss to the G-Men sent my Eagles on a downward spiral that we never recovered from. Our season came to an abrupt end to these same Giants; a 28-21 home loss in the NFC Wildcard game.

Love watching Vincent parpalle playing from the movie invincible

[@jamesgray7064]

Great upload..thank you. If you look at the LBs at 3:05, all of them were solid.You couldn't name a LB corps for the Giants in the 80's that weren't a great unit

[@sonsofliberty75]

The trade for Rob Carpenter turned the Giants into a playoff team. He played as Earl Campbell’s blocker at Houston, but should have been used as a one-two punch. Rob was a strong runner with a low wide profile, making him difficult to tackle. Injuries derailed his career.

[@chrisrifkin3670]

The game that you knew things were turning

[@jeffsmith2022]

Scott Brunner, the pride of the Delaware Blue Hens and rightfully so...

[@flexiblestrategist9922]

This game snapped a 12 game Giants losing streak. Had to happen sooner or later. It got worse for the Eagles.

[@mikevanriel7573]

When you say 12 game Giants losing streak, you mean the Giants lost 12 games before this game or 12 games against the Eagles.

[@jonmayes2422]

Don't get rid of the commercials

This PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 20-10 loss in 1981 to the N.Y. GIANTS had the same negative springboard effect that the DALLAS COWBOYS 31-10 loss in 1983 to the WASHINGTON REDSKINS did neither the EAGLES (1981) or COWBOYS (1983) recovered they both loss their respective Home Wild Card Games

[@shanetrimble9265]

Good association

[@clubhouseme]

including this game the Eagles only won 1 more game before the Giants beat them again in the playoffs.

[@mikeace5831]

The Giants the Eagles the Redskins and the Cowboys at this time we're starting to get great the Eagles or a little bit on a downslide but the whole conference in the whole division in the whole NFL didn't want to play the NFC East

[@jenyakostak2155]

Can you please upload more of Giants ‘86 games, primarily vs Seattle) Pleaseeeee, would be so thankful

[@kengelman1011]

Lol you really want that Seahawks game, Jenya. I'll see what I can do...

[@jenyakostak2155]

Ken Gelman Man, I really admire what you do for us, for NFL fans) It would be awesome to watch any games of Giants in 80s)))))

[@thomasn3882]

Wow, the losing streak vs the Eagle was 12 in a row; I thought it was only 8 in a row. That's awful.

Love all these Giants videos. Hey Ken, is there any way you could get the commercials out of that 1990 Bears-Giants playoff game? It's kind of hard to watch, seeing how I'm not in the market for a 1991 Camry. Thanks bro

[@kengelman1011]

Come on, that's the best part! I love the commercials! Seriously though, I don't have the equipment to strip them out so...sorry?

Man, Brunner was a terrible quarterback. Might have been one of the worst we ever had. Amazing they managed a decent season with him in 1981.
