1984 NFC Wild Card - Giants vs. Rams

[@alexchiasson322]

I still remember the intro... Classic Madden and Summerall... Thank you!!!

[@rogergriffith212]

Yeah they were the goats of broadcasting

[@Lawomenshoops]

At 20:40ish, look at the speed of LT. For him to lineup at LB and then run out to hit Dickerson on the screen, by the sideline is amazing!!!

[@beeemm2578]

ED alligator armed it. Business decisions...lol

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

I'm a Giants fan and this is my all-time favorite intro. Thank you.

[@jachandler3232]

Terry Kinard saved the Giants on this day. Couple of one on one tackles on Dickerson that would have been big gains/TD's. Great game, thanks for posting!

[@jefesbox]

A real classic. Thx for posting. The only game I remember from that season was the NFC Championship where the Bears laid a big goose egg.

[@threerings1345]

This was a tremendous effort by a Giants defense that was getting better and better. It was obvious that Belichick's game plan was to make Jeff Kemp beat them by throwing the ball.

[@Imtheverdant1]

I was at this game and I wish i could say I remembered a dam thing about this game. I remember taking my cousin and I remember sitting in the end zone in the sun. Other then knowing the Rams lost ( as usual) it was just another sunny day in LA .

[@igorslocks]

What an outstanding into from Summerall. Fantastic. And that old CBS NFL intro music is always a winner.🐕🏈

One of the best LB corps in history

[@tonyarceneaux286]

Hey what about the Saints Dome ✅ Patrol 🚓🚨?

[@herecomesforego1787]

many great linebacker groups -- 70s steelers, recent niners, and yes saints, but not only this particular quartet -- which is THE best in nfl history, banks, reasons, carson and taylor -- but over the entire history of the franchise, the giants have the best overall collection of linebackers in nfl history -- check not only the famous names but other outstanding LBs such as andy headen, byron hunt, johnie cooks, pepper johnson, steve deossie etc etc

The highlights of this game was the first 'American football' I ever saw in the UK. Not knowing the score and supporting the underdog, I have been a Giants fan ever since.

I wish you had played the intro music I've always liked hearing that music just before Pat comes in.

[@maxsmiley7191]

Dickerson the best back in Football, Rams have goal to to go at the 3, Madden says "just give the Ball to Dickerson every time the rest of the game", Robinson decides to give the ball to crutchfield for a loss and then ends of throwing on 3rd, nothing there, ends up with just a field goal, that's your ball game, stupid play calling

@05:13 Can someone tell me what "U Back" is? I've never heard of this term before

[@briansass4865]

It was the H-back / Frank Wycheck type. FB /TE hybrid. Wasn't as common then.

[@brettshepherd5240]

I'll never understand why Robinson gave the damn ball to crutchfield

[@johnwhyte2638]

Madden says as much at that point lol. In the regular season meeting when LA beat the Giants at home they ran that very play and Crutchfield scored. I think it's safe to say Belichick remembered that and was waiting.

[@acornsucks2111]

Rams were offside at 2:14:30, went uncalled. He did the same thing on the next play and it was called. Number 69.

I love the Giants but Phil Simms played almost his entire career with a top defense and had 1 super bowl I'll take Eli every day and twice on Sunday over him

[@dantesinfernopurgatory7826]

@@barbaracaroll Eli played in the current sports entertainment scripted era where if you even breathe on the QB it's a roughing the passer penalty and a fine. QBs in the Phil Simms era took a physical beating on a regular basis because even the QBs were fair game.

@@barbaracaroll Look rookie, I've been watching the Giants since the mid 1970s and NFL football since the late 1960s. If you can't see the difference between the way QBs are treated today (Sports Entertainment and scripted outcomes - admitted in court by the NFL, not me - and that includes the Tyree helmet catch) vs. back then, I suggest you concentrate on video games and keep on drinking the kool aid.

The Rams stunk up the entire stadium in the first quarter. Some like to blame it all on Kemp, but he wasn't the one who kept drawing penalty flags from the officials.

[@johnwhyte2638]

And when Dickerson finally started getting hot Robinson got cute and went to Crutchfield at the goal line. Had to settle for a field goal and lost 16-13.

This game was effected by referees. Early the holding calls were phantom calls against the Rams especially the one on harrah. It slowed the Rams rhythm.
