That was the game, and what we expected. It's a violent sport, no doubt. But it's supposed to be. That's the risk you take on if you want to play the game. What's next?

      You pretty much had a stranglehold on the Superbowl as long as you could get past the mighty 49ers with still ANOTHER monster Head Coach in Bill Walsh(soon George Siefert!).

      No and it's getting harder to watch with each passing season. 100% QB-centric with ridiculous salaries, no team loyalty under salary cap, just go wherever you can get paid; have a couple bad games the HC is fired or the QB benched, and defenses can no longer play defense -- not unless they wanna get fined for daring to lay a hand on a receiver or a QB. I've been watching since the 60s, and THAT was friggin' FOOTBALL.
      Anymore I don't know why they bother putting anybody else but a QB and a receiver on offense; the other 9 players mean nothing -- until an overworked, underpaid offensive lineman commits a false start or a holding call, then suddenly the whole city is calling for their head on a platter. And if your quarterback isn't rating 158.3 every single game, he stinks and get rid of him. I almost LIVE for these archived games I remember watching -- before UFA and salary cap. THAT was friggin' FOOTBALL.

Sure the core of Banks, LT, Pepper and Carson got most of the press, but the Giants 2nd tier linebackers in those years would have been starters on any other team. A guy like Reasons, who could play all situations and all special teams, would have been a perennial all-star. Other guys like him from those years.

And, in the 1958 Championship Game, in the third quarter, trailing 14-3 and in trouble, the Giants made a goal-line stand against the Colts. After that, they rallied for two touchdowns and nearly won the game, losing in overtime.

      Word on the street is that the utterly immortal fake punt near the end of the Jan 1991 NFC Championship game was called by Reasons himself once he saw only 10 Niners on the field. He had a huge hole to run thru, so he got about 30 yards!

Concussions were simply "getting your bell rung". Pension rights were barely existent. Pat Summerall was a raging drunk, before, during, and after games. Only Cosell would tell the truth about the corruption in the game, after which ABC made him vanish. Beer and delivered pizza were cheaper to home viewers. Yep. Those were the good old days.
