1986-09-08 New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys

[@jonahmj]

My first game as a Cowboys fan living in England. I was 14. I saw it like this on highlights on a weekly show. 2020, when I am close to fifty, love Coach Landry. Come on Dak and guys - 2020. Tony Dorsett my first silver and blue mesh Jersey. Wore it until it wore out! Go Americas Team from Ireland.

[@kornwhiskey95]

That open field tackle by Bill Bates is still unbelievable!!

[@victorbocanegra4773]

I remember that game. My dad got up angry to turn off the tv and go to bed 3 times. 🤣 I watched it all on very low volume.

[@mdumas43073]

Al Michaels' first MNF broadcast. I remember how weird it seemed at the time because I basically just knew him as a baseball announcer before then.

[@davidharrison9324]

Harry Carson..one of the best ILB ever...

[@terrenceliburd8655]

Sad because both Dorsett and Herschel were both my heros. This game was the changing of the guard for Dallas. Salute to both of them, they had fantastic careers in the league.

[@brendoncassidy1316]

Changing of what guard? Herschel was a stone cold bust

[@terrenceliburd8655]

​@@brendoncassidy1316was he? This season he scored like 12 td's. Next season he ran for 800+ yds, next season he ran for 1500+ yards. He was more than good for us. Remember the great trade robbery?

[@rshelley7496]

Herschel Walker probably never got the credit he deserved but he was a goat in college...usfl..and was pretty good in the NFL too...had he played his whole pro career in the NFL no telling what he could've done

[@tedsilversyeager840]

A goat in college? How so? He won the Heisman, his team won the defacto national championship in his freshman year, he was a 3 time unanimous All-American...It's people like you, that don't give him the credit he deserves!!

[@randyjohnson6845]

The leap for Walkers first NFL touchdown was unbelievable. He had the angle. Walker went 9' vertical and 15' horizontal....get real

[@Brad88ford]

Man Bill Bates somehow tackles a guy in the open field like that

[@zziicckk01]

Herschel Walker's debut as a Cowboys (look at the poor guy now), but it was a dandy one at the time. The screen pass to Dorsett for the first TD was immaculate. Danny White was the master at selling the screen pass. This was such a promising season, but Danny White's broken hand was the beginning of the first losing season in 20 years.

[@jessestone785]

21 years. Dallas had winning seasons from ‘66 thru ‘85. No other NFL team has had 20 consecutive winning seasons, 19 of them in the playoffs.

[@aaropajari7058]

A poor offensive line and the D-line got old all the same time. Herschel was my childhood idol. I have his jersey but cant ever wear it in public.

[@xman777b]

what do you mean 'look at the poor guy now'? As an adolescent in 1986, Herschel was my hero. One of the few, whom never let me down, in this life. Class act, and a man with actual substance.

[@zziicckk01]

@@xman777b - Herschel Walker was evidently a buffoon all this life, even his Dallas team mates used to laugh at this ridiculous opinions... they didn't know he was a wife beater at the time, but they always knew he was a delusional human being.

[@redmustangredmustang]

Ahh the too tired Lawerence Taylor that got called out after the game and after that LT had his MVP. The Cowboys just fell apart when Danny White got hurt midseason.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

It BREAKS my heart hearing TD now say he should have handled the situation better and that he could have become more of Preston Pearson type back as he got older but his ego was hurt. He NEVER should have been Bronco, never. I can't even look at photos of him inthat uniform. I have his book in hardback and paperback. Paper is a Cowoys uniform and took the Dusk jacket of the hardback and cut the cover off...taped the back photo inside the back of the book and made my own Cowboys Tony cover. If he became our new Preston Pearson...OMG...we would have won more games but later this year Danny broke his wrist and THAT was the nail in the Landry era coffin. People forget, we were 6-2 going to NYG stadum...they hurt Danny and the NYG STILL...STILL needed 3 (2 bad calls) to stop the Cowboys driving in the last minute of the game. The ballad of Mike Sharrard as well...When Landry was coaching, aside from the 1984 games WE OWNED THE GIANTS. One of my favorite wins was the second game of the season in 1987 and we played the home opener for the SB CHampion NYG and Danny White made his return to the scene of the crime and beat them.

[@joerules829]

I remember Parcells raising his fist as if Allegre had made the field goal to win it. But it had gone wide and the Cowboys won just before the strike.

[@denniseverett1904]

Beat them( wk2 1987) even though his wrist was still not 100%

[@denniseverett1904]

I remember( I was 16) that week 2 game in '87 at the Meadowlands. Remember Thinking we should've kicked the FG to go up 19-14 instead of the failed 4th and short inside Giants 5 yard line leaving NY needing only a FG to win. Allegre missed a kick ( 47 yards)that he probably makes the year before when everything seemed to go the Giants way following Danny's wrist injury but we escaped 16-14. Then beat the Giants again later that '87 season( repeat of '85 when Too Tall tipping a Simm's pass in the air to Jeffcoat for a INT TD) when Simms got knocked around late. So after coming within a whisker of sweeping the Giants 3 straight years didn't beat them again after '87 until 1991.

[@gerrypeet4861]

Cowboys had no chance in 1986. A team in decline since the 1983 season. Still had their moments but they were not a good team.

[@carlostorres8342]

thanks for posting. I have been looking for this game for a long time. do you happen to have the entire game ?

[@allenfitch2996]

Amazing they were 6-2 at one point. Old and thin on D and little speed on offense outside of Walker. White getting his wrist broken at NYG was the death knell for Dallas and Landry.....

[@ricktheitalianrebel6687]

They had PLENTY of offensive speed and talent. Rookie Mike Sherrard was VERY fast and talented. The problem was that they on the D and O Lines. The D line was still formidable against the pass but not against the run. Your right about the speed and depth on the D line. But the Offense was deep in talent at the skill positions. The problem was the O line...which was the WORST in Cowboys History giving up 60 sacks. EVEN so. If White stays healthy this team win 10 games again..not 7. Probably not enough to get them in the playoffs but it's another respectable winning season. Keep in mind at Mid Season this was the HIGHEST scoring offense in the league...Ranked number one. White was having his BEST season with this new offense. Then, when he got hurt. Pueller came in an everything went south. Landry did not realize how bad the O line Had gotten at the start of the season. Nor did he and every cowboys fan realize how BAD Pueller really was. The dude was just TERRIBLE

[@randyjohnson6845]

Walker had 84 total touchdowns in the NFL

[@steve1220871]

giants were playing dirty this night..great win by the Cowboys!!

[@buddylove346]

My best friend and I drove up from Austin for this Monday night football classic, this was Herschel's first game as a Cowboy and it was a great win. After the game we drove all the way back to Austin and were so tired we had to call in sick just to sleep in then wake up and party some more for such a clutch comeback win...ah the 80's those were the days!

[@DjTrebble]

Merci for posting!

[@timkumpost6036]

Cowboys had 3rd and 21. Guys in the booth were saying "forget the first down, just try for a better field goal range." White throws a screen pass to T D for a TD!

[@denniseverett1904]

That was a helluva game. No school the next day so it was even better. If White doesn't get injured ( midseason) it's a different story than how the rest of that year unfolds

[@dwedge914]

I doubt it...86 Giants were one of the best ever. Plus it was Carl Banks who ended his season too

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

Bill Bates for HOF!!!

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

For like 12 years the Giants only beat America's Team 3 tmes. LOL!! Cowboys trade Craig Morton to the Giants and Cowboys draft RANDY WHITE!! LOL

[@SoZKillA]

and Dallas had no SB's from 79-90 while the Giants got 2 so.....

[@joep2060]

And after Dallas got 3 super bowls the Gints got 2 more and ruined an undefeated season

[@Mark-xl1ze]

This would be the Cowboys' fifth straight season opener where they have played on MNF. It's also their last season opener win (of the 1980s) until 1990.

[@madrecka]

Dallas didn't open on MNF until the 92 opener against the Defending Champs Washington after this game in '86.

[@billny33]

Stacey Robinson makes a great TD catch late in the 1st half. I would have liked to have seen a replay of it edited in here. I enjoyed this either way though. Didn't see any of the '86 Giants, was too young.

[@peirceconboy2335]

Does anyone have this complete game? It's 1 of 2 (week 13 vs 49ers) I am missing for the Giants 1986 season.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

GOD I LOVE THIS COWBOYS TEAM!!!! Bates, Downs, Renfro, Danny, Thrill Hill, Dorsett, Jeffcoat, Manster, Too Tall, Cosbie, Rafferty, Lockhart, Coach Landry...and the WORST Cowboys offensive lineman of ALL TIME: Phil Pozderic (#75)...The DCC and the GREATEST home stadum we will ever play in "The Mecca of God" TEXAS STADIUMall bring tears to my eyes..Can you help? The only Cowboys Giants games I do not have on tape are both games from 1984, do you have them? Especially 1984 @ NYG. Do you have the FULL games? If so please post? Thank you. I know we lose both but I need to have everything going around from 1960-2000. Wow Joe Morris was so fast. Morris and OJ Andersn (not NYG yet) were so lethal for them. I must say, I think the Giants won the SB in 1986 and 1990 with some of the worst offensve lineman ever...Brd Benson and Jumbo Idiot. Oates and Ar were their best lineman. FACT: The Cowoys were looking to draft the WR Lionel Manuel in 1984. OJ Anderson and Morris were SOMUCH BETTER than Barber and Jacobs. Aside from the QB position and Oline the Parcells SB teamswere much better than the Coughlin NYG. Both of the Coughlin teams were not the best team in the league those years. They just got hot and Coughlin coched with Coch Bill and knows his game tendencies.

[@MaximusWolfe]

Danny White was a true also-ran. Will always laugh hysterically at the way he and Tony Dorsett lost to the Redskins replacement players in 87.

[@PerpetualArt]

@@MaximusWolfe + Danny White was a decent QB. The replacement loss was terrible, but Danny White was alright. I am a Giants fan, but always respected Tom Landry.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

You mean the same DW and TD with a winning record vs the Foreskins? That team was in a mess..find yu want to be an ass..fine...he roke Roger's records...and your team NEVER had a QB like Roger. Also DW and TD lost to that team and they made a habit of destroying your starters. If the refs give Everson Walls the interception in the second QT of the 82 Championship game..it is totally different. The Cowboys all time record vs the Foreskins is AMAZING. LOL..your team can' even sell out unless myself and fellow Cowboys overrun your GARBGE out of date built in 1997 next to a strip mall...I mean like a dollar store strip mall. I will l always remember staying at the Cowboys team hotel the night before the last game at RFK...Ihung ut with Kenny Houston...the next day he blew off Skins fans to hang with me. That night at the hotel I asked Dexter if he could read hi Super Bowl ring yet? LOL his hooker date started talking shit and told the crack whore to help him get out the right dollars to pay her bill. He was so pissed off LOL. SO you want to rip on Danny? Cool...I will always remember as well having breakfast with QUincy Carters family the morning of the game in Wash Dec 2001. Before we parted ways I jokingly said, "Hey Q, bomb on your boy Chump today....and in the 4th QT Qball did JUST THAT..LOL. QBALL TO ROCKET over CHUMP. So..let me ask you, if Danny was an "also ran" what does that say for your heroes that he routinely beat the shit out of???? LOL...YOU DUMB ASS...first game of 1983 ..that HUGE comeback at RFK....home opener 1985 Joey T's B-day....What does that say about CLINT LONGLEY destroying your bum ass defense?? Dude ...the Redskins hired a guy to increase attendance at a WASH game...he said he was a SKins fan for 20 plus years. Then your LOL loser Chris Cooley asked him if he was season ticket holder? Dude said it was his FIRST GAME...LOL some "DIE HARD." Redskins being the LAST team to integrate. Your team history is75%losing season history. I just made YOU look like an asshole OMG your team was so bad they gave Lombrdi cancer. .@@MaximusWolfe

LT;s hero growing up was a Cowboy. Ron was better than ANY corner the Giants had in the 80's. OMG...MARK COLLINS???? LOL Elvis "TOAST" Patterson...BTW, Super Bowl Cowboys champion 1993. LOL However Jimmy was smart. He only got on the field for kick coverage. Parcells dumb ass started him. Or how about 1985 when Steve Pelluer threw to KARL POWE to win the East over your overrated D. Wow remember when Carl Banks, Jim Burt went to 2003 Cowbys camp and helped coach?? LOL...then Quincy threw ALL OVER that lethal Giants defense??? LOL

The most points the Giant defense gave up all year. Had Danny White not been injured and consequently lost for the season in week 9, these two teams would likely have played each other a 3rd time in the playoffs. If any team could have beaten New York in the playoffs that year, it was Dallas.
