Los Angeles Rams vs New York Giants 1988 Week 4 J.I.P.

The Rams have their passing offense in high gear after trading running back Eric Dickerson to the Colts. This is what John Robinson envisioned last season despite the Rams not making the playoffs.

[@seveglider8406]

During the 80's and 90's, the only games the Giants beat the Rams is the Rams had backup QB's playing.

[@moldneutralizers3920]

I have never seen a coach in my whole time watching football who comes out to check his players who got hurt and help them come to the sideline. If I would love to play for John Robinson if I was a football player. He really cared about his players. No wonder Jim Everett said he is the best coach he ever had. I have to agree with that.

[@kennethcollins6494]

My all time favorite coach, class class

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

It's interesting to listen to them talk about Mark Rypien, who was playing his first game for the Redskins that same day.

If only I could see the "Lay Down Like Dogs" game (Rams 38-16 49ers, 12/18/88)

[@Jiltedin2007]

The Rams did reach the playoffs in 1988, but lost to the Vikings at Minnesota in the Wild Card Game.

Thank you for your post , as Jim Everett fan , I wait long time for watch this game again on youtube .

Do you remember Jim Everett vs Jim Rome ,

​@@mrtnt3462 I remember , he call Jim " Chris Everett " LOL

[@mreppen1]

The Jim Rome incident was staged.

[@rustykuntz94]

Rams had the Giants number in the Jim Everette era. Beat em in 88, twice in 89 including the divisional playoff round in OT, the Flipper Anderson game.

[@kidmack1121]

But according to giants fans back then; after the Forty Niners, all the rest of the NFC West "sucked"

[@rustykuntz94]

@@ephraimfink9010 and then in 1991 also the Rams beat the Giants. So my point again was in THAT era, those few years (88-91) it was Rams 4-NY 1.

[@justincapache5641]

@@ephraimfink9010 he’s right. this was a bad loss at home. One of many bad losses this 88 team had at home

[@webstedge1099]

@@justincapache5641 they had the 49ers loss, that blocked FG/touchdown overtime game, and of course, the loss on the final day against the Jets where they choked away the NFC East to an Eagles team that never led the division at the end of a week at any point in the season (until the moment Philly clinched), and then had to watch helplessly as the Rams leapfrogged them for the last Wild Card spot in a game that was over by halftime. The 1988 Giants were like the football equivalent of the 2007 Mets, for the season's abrupt ending alone.

[@29LARams]

Somehow this was the team that I loved and remembered so much. McVay Rams need to learn from Robinson. Running the ball controls the tempo of the game, it controls the clock and tires out the defense of the other team. Run the ball McVay!

John Robinson, absolute class act, what a shame that he didn’t have Dickerson with Everett throughout, real shame

[@pronkb000]

I have to admit, John Robinson cracked me up as a kid. He was so unemotional on the sidelines that he made Tom Landry look like Jim Harbaugh. Fine coach, but Flipper Anderson could have made a one-handed upside-down catch while wrapped around the defender's back and his reaction shot would consist of a few begrudging handclaps.

[@kennethcollins6494]

@@pronkb000 I guess you don’t remember the interview after the Giants playoff win? They asked Robinson if he believed it was pass interference? Believe me, he had quite the emotional response

The LA Rams are 11-4 all-time in road games against the Giants. The St. Louis Rams were 1-3 and the Cleveland Rams were 2-2.

[@kennethcollins6494]

Between 88 and 9 we beat them three times, Flipper running into the locker room being the most important

[@kennethcollins6494]

Say what you will about Everette and some of the flack Maybe justified, but he was an absolute beast of a prototype quarterback that could make all the throws with all the touch at anytime.

[@cedericocosantorini8013]

@39:32 just another very typical Everett TD pass. He was the master of long plays.

[@kennethcollins6494]

Yes he had all the tools and a good leader also, but in the end didn’t get it done

Nice Richard. See if you can upload some more games from Rams 89 season.

[@rustykuntz94]

89 Rams were a solid team. Won 3 straight road games (the season finale in N England and then the 2 playoff games in Philly & NY), one of only 2 teams to beat the 49ers that year but got plastered in the championship game in SF.

[@richardtoplitsky5143]

Pat and John wow did a lot of giant games back in the 80 s seems like even till the 90 s

[@paulkelly8232]

Madden and Summerall did a bunch of Giants games back in the day. From 1988 - 1990, the Giants went 35-13. However, they had plenty of trouble with the Eagles, Rams and 49ers. Five of their losses during this span came against the Eagles, three to the 49ers and three to the Rams, if you include the '89 playoff game.

[@MootCoffee]

great insight!

[@cbod14]

In terms of The NFC East, The Giants always beat The Skins, The Skins always beat The Eagles and The Eagles always beat The Giants. The Rams & 49ers split from 88-90. Everett was never the same after The 89 NFC Title game.

[@rustykuntz94]
