1989 Week 1 Giants at Redskins MNF

[@johnliberty3647]

Watching Barvaro drive Manly and Mann back on consecutive plays just shows how great of a blocker he was.

Watching Real Football soothes the soul.

[@jeremybiewer5465]

Amen!

[@rkid727]

Think they ran this opening theme for the next 8-10 years or so. It was never better before or after for me. Something about that music and they way Gifford read the opening script. Miss it.

[@glenn-fr7hj]

I remember watching this game , great memories as a giants fan.

[@bigbluelarry]

Giants-Redskins games from this era are were the NFL at its best.

[@SillyGoose2024]

But with a predictable ending. Parcells owned Gibbs. Swept his team in 86, 88, 89 and 90. Gibbs won in 87 but that was a strike year and the giantz organization was screwed up. In a normal operating season, gibbs was owned by parcells

[@ronsells757]

@@SillyGoose2024 oh, so we'll just pretend the '87 season didn't count... how convenient for your narrative.

[@SillyGoose2024]

@@ronsells757 first of all, its not a "narrative." Second of all, its fact. Parcells owned gibbs and washington

[@Gunleaver]

@@ronsells757 Well, there's a good reason for it to be discounted. They were playing with randomly assembled teams of scrubs and non-entities for the Redskins' first win.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Monte Coleman #51 of the Washington Redskins He was drafted in the 11th round and the 279th player selected in the 1979 draft. Played played 16 seasons from 1979-1994 all with the Washington Redskins as a linebacker and special teams player. A key contributor to 3 Super Bowl championship teams and making it to a 4th in a losing effort. His 217 games played is is 2nd most in franchise history.

First game I ever watched with my dad. Was 7 years old. Haven't missed a Giants game since.

Awesome.

First game I ever watched with my dad was “The Drive.” I was nine and I haven’t missed a Browns game ever since. It’s been as miserable as it sounds.

[@astrostar49]

Great quality. Thanks for sharing.

[@25pinstripes]

For those that say LT was "just a pass rusher," I say watch this game.

[@johnliberty3647]

I never saw someone say that, certainly not anyone in my generation who grew up watching him, he was in on every play in most games, or most plays in every game. Special teams too, even played TE during the replacement games

[@robkeel100]

Uh, LT was a RB for the chargers. Everyone knows that.

[@25pinstripes]

"Who made that decision to show the Notre Dame coach and not the Michigan coach?" "Bavaro" LOL!

[@redmustangredmustang]

From 1988 to 1990 the Giants had the Redskins number. 1991 the Redskins were unstoppable, but not having Parcells did have a significant impact on the Giants and that includes Belichick going to the Browns as their head coach.

[@TheNationsRListening]

Thank you Ken Gelman!!!

[@TheNationsRListening]

The Dave Meggett 1st touchdown at 37:43! Thanks again, Ken Gelman!

[@johnliberty3647]

I like how the Defense chased him down right to the goaline . Todays game they stop chase and players celebrate before crossing and I just can't stand that. The tackler that missed Meggett was Alvin Walton who was a sure handed tackler and a great hitter. So that was a very impressive TD.

[@rhey81]

1:57:06 that pick feels exactly like the one Gouveia had vs the Bills in the 2nd half 1st play of SB 26. Same blitz, same result almost.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqjXnmaIZ92Hfrc

[@fritzstuber3012]

The six Redskins-Giants games played from 1988-90 were flukish, and each could've easily gone the other way.

[@davidlopez-rl4sh]

Agreed the Redskins were always just a play behind the giants but nip and tuck coming down to the last possession

[@JamesJackson-xd7jq]

88 Jim Burt T.D. was such a memorable play -- I do believe he was directly responsible for ending Joe Montana's career with that DEVESTATING HIT.......

[@johnsmith-mk3zq]

Not really Montana went on to win 2 more superbowls it was the hit by marshall in 90 championship game that shortened montana s career He went on to play 2 seasons with the chiefs

[@burtmaclinfbi3993]

That would be Leonard Marshall that shortened Montana's career with that hit in the 1990 NFC Championship game. Jim Burt was on the 49ners during the same game. However, he did level Montana in a playoff game a few years earlier, won by the Giants 49-3.

[@jasperdriver8546]

Wilber Marshall out there wanting to fight with everyone lol

[@brockgeorge777]

In a game where the stats suggest the Redskins put up 40-50 points, they of course, put up only 24 against the Giants (who owned them during this period just as the Eagles owned the Giants at this time) and lost!

[@ephraimfink9010]

Anyone know the time to find LT causing the fumble?

[@jenyakostak2155]

Great.......

This is when the NFL was a great product, and the players didn't act like attention starved idiots after scoring a touchdown.
