I am hopeful that he will improve from last year given the better weapons he has. I don't "believe in" football players, as if they are some kind of deity. Fair enough. Thank you. Who are you and what have you done with Speedman?

Who are you and what have you done with Speedman? It’s the kinder Speedman. If you don’t like I can return to normal.

My son and I attended 1990. I wish it had been 1986... that one was pure magic, and Simms was a Maesitro. But the patriotism was fabulous at '90, during Desert Storm, and Whitney singing the Star Spangled Banner will never be beat. We were standing at rail at field level on the right side of the goal line Norwood missed on. Couldn't tell if the ball was in or out as it passed the post until I turned and saw the Giany players jumping up and down on the firled. I went to the 2000 NFC Championship game. It was a special experience. 1986 was the greatest Game I ever saw the Giants play,.........ever! 2000 was just unbelievable I was sitting in that stadium waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never did. Randy Moss actual quit ................, if the play wasn't to him he just did nothing.

The only thing that will slow this Giants offense down is if the OL can't give adequate time that has held this offense back more than anything the last 4 or 5 year. If they grow into a really good Pass protecting unit and decent run blocking they re gonna score and score a lot. yup and I bet you will see teams that play us have a lot of holding calls to try and impede and slow down the receiver that's making them shake in their boots and/or running right pass them lol............ I wish that was true. But the NFL refs will not call holding when it's our Giants on Defense. They would rather call a ruffing the passer on a sack which is very clear a NON ruffing the passer. *Just as a aside. I despise the NFL refs. I think they are dumber than a box of rocks or are betting FANDUEL on their phones*

Especially Waller and how we will demand double coverage

Shockingly, it seemed the Vikings were terrified.

Not sure but it seems I was the only Giants fan who wasn't at that game. I was at my friend's house in Orange, CT with about 20 guys watching the game on TV.

I was going to 5 or 6 home games per season back then and also some playoffs. I have poor memory for games etc but games like that stand out. Was at the prior game too to see Philthy go down.

It seems that hundreds of thousands of fans were at that game. That's funny. But I've got that little white towel they gave out to prove it. Actually had terrific seats. First row of the overhang, dead middle of the end zone. Went with 2 friends who both bet the Vikings and took the over at 42. It was 41 -0 with like 10 minutes to go in the third quarter so I kept telling them that they would get the over but it never happened. Dumb Jet fans. It serves them right. Who goes to an NFC Championship Game and bets the road team? Completely missing out on the atmosphere. What a party.

Game was over before it started.. We pounced on them and before they knew what was happening we put thirty four on them before halftime. It was nine years to that day the Vikings got the door shut on them with a bagel on the score board. That Vikings offense had a star studded lineup on offense. And we knocked their lights out.

That's a pretty good recap. Culpepper looked bewildered. I thought it was going to be close. Never expected a blowout like that. But then again, I thought the Giants were going to beat the Ravens after the way they looked vs the Vikes.

We were no match for the ferocity and violence of that Baltimore defense. Kerry Collins still gets the shivers when he sees a Raven flying over head.

That crazy holding call on The Hammer to negate Armstead's TD. Dixon returns a kickoff for a TD and the next play the Ravens do the same thing. Just a brutal game all around.

My most clear memory of that week was that Mike and The Mad Dog were portraying Kulpepper all week as a cross between Johnny Unitas and John F. Kennedy. They brought in everyone who ever knew him all the way down to his high school coach. By the end of the week it seemed from them that the Giants shouldn't even take the field against such a great human being and physical dynamo.
By mid 1st quarter he looked like a zombie who had never played a down. That's all I could think about as the Giants poured it on.
Pretty funny.

I've never been to a Giants game in my life. I've been to a bunch of Jets games when my brother used to get company seats. Lame, I know. But I'd prefer to watch from home any day.
