1983 Week 4 Packers at Giants MNF

[@jonb2100]

Remember watching this game at age 13, missed the end of it bc I fell asleep (Plus I had school in the AM) R.I.P. Giff, Dandy Don, and Howard. MNF hasn't been the same

WOW your 52 soon to be 53

[@ctranger]

This game was the highlight of the Giants' 1983 season. Thank you for posting it here.

[@rustykuntz94]

Yes 83 was a very bad, 2 steps backward season for the Giants who had been starting to turn the corner as a franchise. 2 huge things happened in the off season going into 84. George Young was THIS close to firing Parcells after a 3-12-1 awful rookie season but decided to bring him back & Parcells decided to go w Phil Simms as his QB.

[@bigdrew565]

@@rustykuntz94 yeah according to the Parcells biography, not only did Howard Schellenberger not take the job, supposedly he called Parcells and told him that George Young had just interviewed him for his job. Which lead to him calling Al Davis, who told Jimmy the Greek, who blew up the spot on the NFL Today. George Young hated Parcells after that(pretty sure that the feeling was mutual). To the point where when they were talking about bringing Parcells back to coach after firing Dan Reeves,, Young was going to retire rather than deal with Parcells.

@@bigdrew565 parcells was a coaching god

[@bigdrew565]

@@danieltilson4912 yeah. But I don't think he was that great as a gm though. He got lucky with Curtis Martin in New England. Don't even get me started about Miami.

[@barbaracaroll]

Tom Coughlin did more with less with his Giants championship teams in my opinion Parcells had the best defense in the NFL for years

[@noahf342]

thanks for posting this Ken! I was 10 years old at the time and had a bed time at the time! Now I can watch a bright spot of an otherwise bad season in its entirety!

[@kengelman1011]

Awesome. Enjoy!

[@BC-vr8wz]

Rob Carpenter reminds of Rudy (Notre Dame fame) with his stature and never give up attitude.

[@BaddogSports]

1983 was an awful season! I started watching The Giants in 1984. Was 8 years old. I missed the awful teams of the late 64-83 (my father lived those awful Giants seasons). I was spoiled from 1984-2011. Now, I guess it’s time for me to suffer horrible Giants teams (2013-2020) as my father did in the 70’s. Have no fear though, I have a 3 year old son. When he’s 8, in 2025, The Giants will go on a great run again lol.

[@jimfriery8641]

You missed 1973, lol…2-11-1 after going 6-0 in the preseason. Lots of hope that year after going 8-6 in 1972. They broke my heart. I was 13 almost 14. I loved the Giants that summer, I had a scrapbook with almost every daily article on the preseason cut out of the newspapers like the NY Post, the Star ledger, etc. I played Freshman Football that season of 1973 as well. We started out 2-0, and were the talk of the athletic department. Then we lost our next 7 games to finish 2-7. Our coach hated us, threw tantrums, punished us to pieces every day. It still haunts me to this day. LOL

[@bigbluelarry]

I remember this game well, thanks for posting this!

[@buster60341]

Bill Parcells almost didn't make it during his first year as the head coach for the NY Giants but it was during his second year that when he became a real NFL head coach

[@danieltilson4912]

Ty for posting

[@mesocorny4366]

Hearing cosell mention lt gives me chills, cosell on his way to ending his broadcast career as lt was in the early stage as an nfl player

[@lavance4615]

Thank you

[@jenyakostak2155]

Keep it up, great one

[@860anthony]

You can see this is mostly Ray Perkins' team.

Why don't you pull up a chair and learn something, Junior!

[@juanamj1594]

Great work as always, Ken. Thanks. Could you please upload these games in the near future?: 1984 Week 12 Cardinals vs Giants Both Giants/Cowboys from the 1991 season Both Giants/Redskins from the 1991 season 1994 Week 17 Cowboys vs Giants

[@jenyakostak7639]

and more of 81-85 season games

[@Bruce12867]

Awesome post! BTW, do you have their 1982 matchup, where the lights went out several times due to the impending strike?

[@charlesvitale5274]

It seemed that simms from when you could see a sideline shot stayed as far away from parcells and looked really pissed that he was not in there.i did not agree that Brunner should be starting over him . I simms didnt get hurt again I have a feeling that Brunner would be sitting for the rest of the 83 season

[@bigdrew565]

Do you blame him? I don't. At least Bill admitted that he was wrong about how he handled that.

[@jenyakostak2155]

Ken, I do understand that NFL blocks lots of your games, but we want some games against Jets))) 81,84,88 any of that was dramatic, two NY/NJ teams

[@kengelman1011]

84 already rejected by YT. 81 quality isn't great. 88 too painful to post. Maybe the 87 game but that one was meaningless. Not a lot of good options.

[@jenyakostak2155]

Ken Gelman Got it. Still would be nice to have 81 season game) You can try to post all that blocked games on other platforms like bitchute, for example. Always tuned for you activity, wait for new ones, thank you as usual

[@jenyakostak2155]

Ken Gelman About 88, guess that one was interesting, all on the line. Would be awesome to watch and analyze

[@kengelman1011]

@@jenyakostak2155 thanks. Not interested in posting anything on bitchute. Will post some new games soon.

[@jenyakostak2155]

Ken Gelman be waiting, thank you

[@johnphelan4215]

How many teams do you think Andy Headen could have been a starter for? He got a chance in the one with Carson injured and was an absolute beast.

[@jameshayes9849]

Trying to remember if Rob Carpenter was the last white halfback 😂🤣😂

[@danieltilson4912]

are you forgetting the starting running back for the panthers now you fucking moron

[@pendragon2012]

And this was the the team that outdueled the defending champion Redskins 48-47.

[@charlesvitale5274]

Do you have the game where phil Simms came in and then got hurt?

[@jenyakostak7639]

Ken, maybe you will try to post 86 NFC championship match again? With new name or something like that) please

[@Zozzo984]

Gmen were 3-3 here. Last win of year I think.

[@jenyakostak2155]

Vs Jets and Seahawks at 81 season

[@barbaracaroll]

Phil Simms would not have been given 6 years to succeed in today's NFL
