[@BaddogSports]

LOL! Yeah, to be honest I'm old enough to have seen all 4 of The Giants Super Bowls, but The 1990 NFC Championship win is probably my favorite of all time. Going into old Candlestick Park, playing against the team of the decade and legendary Joe Montana, and Jerry Rice, and ending their 3-peat bid was incredible. One of the best games I've ever watched! A hard hitting, defensive CLASSIC! I miss these days of The NFL man

Agreed. Parcells was maniacal about getting people to play up to their abilities. Moreover.....Parcells was a firm believer in having players who were bigger and stronger than other teams. Football was a brutal game and size and strength were paramount attributes to possess. Leonard Marshall, Lawrence Taylor, Pepper Johnson, Erik Howard, John Washington, Gary Reasons......1980 Giants provided some great memories.

Good post, but was 1990 not 1986.

[@optimus2g]

@9:41 - Error. SB 25 was not played 2 weeks after the NFC Championship Game on January 20, 1991. It was played 1 week after the NFC and AFC Championship Games.

[@SPTO]

Great video and you really can't argue with the listing. The 1990 NFC Championship game is probably in the top 3 "what if" moments and history altering events in league history. The Bills would've had a better chance to win SB 25 against the Niners in that they had a great defense but I don't think they would've schemed the way the Giants did and be able to play ball control on offense. Joe Montana still had some great years left in him but that hit totally obliterated any chance of that and led to him being extremely injury prone but he still had some magic. Steve Young, well who knows what would've happened there and then the whole specter of whether Parcells would've "retired" or try another kick at the can which in itself could've radically alter Belichick's career. Who knows? Maybe he never ends up in New England?

Niners would have beaten the bills badly

[@SPTO]

@@damonwillis3672 The Bills were beating just about everybody in sight and handily at times all throughout the 1990 season. They played a very tightly contested SB with the Giants and a couple years later they came out on top in one of the most exciting games of the early '90s against the Niners. It wouldn't have been a foregone conclusion.

[@Pksoze]

I don't know if the Niners win...Steve Young would have started that SB with 1 week to prepare against a good team. Hard to say the 49ers win...they couldn't run the ball at all that year as well.

[@miggy25]

they would've had a better chance against the Niners??? Are people forgetting that the Niners were the 2-time defending SB champs, started out 1990 10-0, finished the year 14-2, had a team that seemed unstoppable. The Bills put up massive points and had some fantastic players on offense and defense, but the AFC was far inferior to the NFC by 1990....and the Bills division (the AFC East) was arguably the weakest in the NFL at that time--the Colts, Jets, and Patriots were atrocious by the early 90s). The 1990 Niners were far superior to the 1990 Dolphins and Raiders (the 2 teams the Bills beat handily in the AFC playoffs that year). The Niners would've beaten the Bills that SB. But the Giants beat BOTH teams

[@nerva-]

The 1990 week 13 Monday Night Football game should have been on this list. Both teams were 10-0 and looking ahead to their showdown, but then both teams lost in week 12. This was the game where Jim Burt got Ronnie Lott angry for the game by telling him that Phil Simms said he was washed up. Lott sprained both his knees during the game -- one of them severely enough that he was out for the rest of the regular season. He sprained his other knee in the 4th quarter, had to be helped off the field, and then came back in time for their goal-line stand. The game also had the highest attendance of any game ever played at Candlestick park, because of the months of buildup.

[@byrongammonbyrongammon9937]

Great game. I believe this 1990 week 13 loss was a great lesson for Parcells. He could have won the game if he kicked the field goals instead of going for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter. Giants could have won 9-7. He didn't make the same mistake in the NFC CG thank God.

Integrity101 I disagree with you. I can argue with u with 2 QBs, John Elway, and Troy Aikman. Elway is great I don’t deny, but if u look at stats. His rating, yards, and everything. Eli is better than him on every stats. Aikman is purely overrated in my opinion. Yes he won 3SBs but with a super dominate cowboys team. He only has 160ish TDS, not even half of Eli. And his rating is lower than Eli also. Now those 2 QBs are in HOF, why can’t Eli be?

@@minif4046 Different eras different expectations. Comparing a QB drafted in the 80s stats with a QB drafted in 04 is foolish.

I hate the Giants. Doesn't matter the season, whenever we play each other, I always want the 49ers to win. They've been the cause of more heartbreaking losses in franchise history compared to any other team. Even when compared to Dallas and Green Bay in my opinion. The 1986 49-3 beatdown, the 1990 NFC Championship, and the 2011 NFC Championship. I think the two teams have met each other in the playoffs more than any other two in the Super Bowl era. I already knew what the number one game on your list was when I clicked this video. As a 49ers fan, that 1990 NFC Championship game loss was the most demoralizing game in franchise history. The team was on the cusp of winning a 3 third straight Super Bowl, and I don't think any other team has come closer. If only Montana didn't get hit, or Craig didn't fumble. Steve Young would have started against the Bills, so that would have been something interesting. Anyways, thanks for the trip down memory lane. Gotta take the good with the bad. That's the life of a sports fan.

[@edwardbrito3332]

This game came down to coaching Bill Parcells did best coaching job ever with backup QB & SF had more talent but Bill Walsh would have got the team ready. Every matchup he dreaded LT & Giants always devising ways to keep the offense going & Joe upright. Too bad our owner drove out Bill he threatened to fire him a year before his last SB. Consolation prize SF stopped Dallas from getting 6 & a four-peat lol... imagine Skips ego & rest of cowboy fans lol. Actually, if that happens maybe Jimmy isn't fired & they win 7 have Bellichek run.

[@byrongammonbyrongammon9937]

TheLoneDraftsman..........Erik Howard made a great play fighting through a double-team block to be in position to hit Craig while Jesse Sapolu tackled him to the ground. Lawrence Taylor fought through two blocks by Brent Jones and Tom Rathman in order to be in position to recover the fumble that Erik Howard forced. The hit on Montana was a case study on 'never giving up' demonstrated by the relentless pursuit by Leonard Marshall and Lawrence Taylor. The 49ers were defeated by a total team effort. Parcells was a genius when it came to pushing a player's button and getting him to play above his ability. Oh....and you forgot to mention the very first Giant home victory in franchise history......the 1985 17-3 NFC wild card playoff victory over the 49ers.

@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 What I remember about that 1990 game was the Giants seemed jinxed all game. In the first quarter Megget on an option play found a wide open Giant fullback, who dropped the ball. So, they had to settle for a FG. They were winning 6-3 right before the half, then on 3rd down got a questionable roughing the passer call which extended the drive to FG range and it was 6-6 halftime. Then, Bryant missed a chip shot FG in the 3rd quarter. Finally, on the epic play where Montana was knocked out, he had fumbled the ball and at least 2 Giants had it but couldn't hold on and SF recovered. So, every break seemed to go SF's way. Until the last break went the Giant's way, the Craig fumble. Still, give Hostelter credit on the final drive, they were way out of FG range, about the SF 40 yard line. He needed 2 big passes to get them in FG range.

No bootleg or Gore run. Like Sea loss with Lynch in SB but not as bad lol).3) NYG vs SF NFC Championship 11' (1st year in playoff in a decade so not much expected. Played NYG tough but Eli did what he did to NE twice in SB.)4) STL vs SF Final Game for the division 10' (Benched Alex Smith for some bum. Said QB completed 3 passes 2 ints & one lucky almost int slipped defender hands & accidentally caught & scored. Alex comes back in 3rd almost wins game). Gave the world beastquake cause Sea won division.5) 04' when won 2 games & barely beat AZ in OT to not go winless or 99' Rams end 24 something consecutive losses to SF by blowning them out in STL by like 40+.

[@astrostar49]

Also side note, the 1988 week 2 game is interesting, because the 49ers had lost 3 straight times to the Giants, including twice in the playoffs in New York. Bill Belichick had taken over as defensive coordinator in 1985, and that is when the problems really started against Bill Walsh's squad. In that game, Bill Walsh was playing musical chairs with Joe Montana, and Steve Young. Young was lackluster in the first half, and eventually replaced by Joe after halftime. If the 49ers don't win that game with that Rice miracle bomb they don't make the playoffs, and the Giants would win the NFC East with an 11-5 record. Instead they were on the outside looking in with a 10-6 record behind the LA Rams. Phil Simms famously accused the 49ers of "laying down like dogs" when they depended them beating the Rams to get into the playoffs in the final week of the season, but didn't.

Whaaat? The 1986 Divisional Playoff game Niners at Giants Stadium didnt make the CUT? Are you KIDDIN' me? The Giants SLAYED THE NINERS...49-3 and Nose Tackle Jim Burt NAILS Joe Montana who left the Stadium in an Ambulance......

[@dk6173]

I miss the days of truly hard hitting football. Sudden death overtime was so much simpler.

[@dodger1214]

Kyle Williams man. I'm sorry, but I will never get over that.

[@vincesmith2499]

1990 regular season meeting belongs on this list, not the 86 regular season meeting.

[@aldoapodaca2758]

2011 still hurts, Damn Ted Ginn didn’t play and let Kyle Williams ruin everything

[@mjjohnson5904]

THIS WAS INTERESTING......................

[@ericdavis1636]

The 89 Monday night regular season game I mean. Two great teams that year and at one point it was 24-24 the Giants came back but fell short. I can't find highlights of that game anywhere 🤔

[@optimus2g]

Reyna Thompson was called for a neutral zone infraction on Cofer's missed 51 yarder. He then made a 46 yarder after that to put the Niners ahead, otherwise the Giants would have had all of the momentum and the ball going the other way.

[@jameslisle7775]

The Giants and 49ers have played against each in some of the greatest games ever!

[@vincesmith2499]

I didn't have the 86 reg season game on my list.

[@JIGOKUKIRA]

0:42 that left tackle fucked LT up on that play 😂😂😂

[@cbraat27]

Two best uniforms as well

[@cb4460]

That collapse in the division game was so classic giants not just because we collapsed it's how we find ways to lose, we blow a huge lead but then have a fairly easy fg for the win but we can't even snap the ball to give our kicker the chance, just too classic

[@bigblue9996]

That year the Giants had snapping problems. They signed Trey Junkin to solve it and well the rest is history.

[@edwardbrito3332]

It was bad luck the snapper was injured & they started a retired guy. Awesome championship but let's be real prize was whooped 02' TB. At least NYG won to advance to the SB.

[@ericdavis1636]

You never know what happens if we hold on to win that 02 playoff game. Could of knocked off Tampa.

[@edwardbrito3332]

Nope TB had an all-time defense they destroyed their competition look games scores. Phi won top seed & division got hammered, Oak best offense couldn't score till 3rd QT on Rice effort TD.

[@jasonp209]

2013 nfccg was also hard to watch we had that game until the end .I say 2011 nfccg cuz of it was a home game and 1st of 3 nfccg

[@qsloan2679]

Has anyone ever realized that the giants and the 49ers have the same away uniforms now

[@vacairripatterson1504]

Yes they played some of the best games.

[@FastDipper]

I will forever hate Kyle Williams for his debacle's in that NFC championship game.

[@cecilflounders7437]

Darien Espiritu same here man

[@Q.B.2.L.B.]

I'm a Giants fan and the wifes a 49er fan....house divided...🤦‍♂️😫😂....oh and 2002 was a choke job, but the last play of the game was a blown call by the refs...🤷‍♂️

[@timelymirror7826]

🧐so what happened

[@joshuaguste6883]

@@timelymirror7826 Giants defense ran out of gas, missed opportunities such as Shockey’s dropped pass. 49ers finding their rhythm and kept up the pressure

[@kevinburke6055]

The fact that this rivalry didnt even get an honorable mention on NFL Networks top ten is a joke. They had Bengals Browns and Jets Pats over this. WTF? Even Steelers Raiders when u think about it was only in the 70s. Giants Niners spans different eras 80s 90s 2000s 2010s.

[@timelymirror7826]

😶the 2002 wild card game was a bit intense at the end

[@kingbanzai9118]

where is he getting this music it is fire

[@masoncarrington947]

Can u do Saints and Falcons next plz

[@sparklerbc9898]

SB25 was 1 week later, not 2

[@JediJames21]

Did steve young start over montana at the beginning of 1988?

[@nicklashine2236]

Anyone know the music that starts at 2:58

[@johnvillalobos9961]

You gotta do the STEELERS vs ravens.. Please

[@Gunleaver]

"An ending like no other in playoff history" because the referees made an egregious error that ended the game. We're not talking a controversial penalty call or non-call like pass interference, we are talking about the referee forgetting that the receiver downfield actually did report in as an eligible receiver, and then throwing the flag anyway, and negating the pass interference call which would have given the Giants the ball inside the five, and ending the game without even allowing the receiver to remind them that yes, he DID report in and WAS eligible. No game that results in the NFL apologizing for the officiating at the ending should be #2 on any list unless it is of blunders.

[@georgecouvson668]

Why does it feel like every team in the NFC is the 49ers rival

[@justinrogers8080]

Giants are the only team that Joe Montana has losing record against in the playoffs, of 2-3.

[@carlosfigueroa9159]

That’s way the New York giants are way better💯💯🔥🔥🏈🏈

[@cecilflounders7437]

Carlos Figueroa shut the fuck up

Cecil Flounders u just mad lol

Nothing sucks like losing to the 9ers. And nothing is like beating them lol

[@excll5231]

Because of the #3 game I get nervous with every punt return. Fucking Kyle Williams
