*SDMF* Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 IDK.......Manningham's sideline catch may have the edge on this. If we wanna make a case for plays outsidw the superbowl, Bradshaw getting out of bounds an Nicks TD to end the half against Aron Rogers and the Pack is a big one. But that was still one helluva move by Cruz to split the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's amazing. Before that play, the Giants were sputtering and the Jets were dominating the game. That play changed the season for 2 teams. The Giants won the Superbowl and the Jets watched the Giants win the Superbowl, just like they have the last 4 times.

Allstarjim Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well you can't have a play that wins us the Super Bowl that didn't actually occur in the actual Super Bowl. As a momentum changer for the season, that was as big of a play as there is. Cruz loves playing the Jets, lol. Preseason or regular season, doesn't matter. But in the actual Super Bowl, I thought the Chase INT was as big as the Manningham catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Cruz isn't even close to being our fastest WR. Yeah but Jernigan proves speed isn't everything... as if Sinorice Moss didn't already do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Cruz isn't even close to being our fastest WR. I'd put victor up against any of them with full pads on......his ability to pull away from opposing Dbacks is something I have not seen in a Giants player since Homer Jones, who was a world class sprinter....there is a lot of technique in Olympic running that is not totally foot speed related Did you put the Giants players on the stopwatch last season?.............or are you going by ancient combine stats. If we are going by combine stats I have no comment. That speaks for itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the actual Super Bowl, I thought the Chase INT was as big as the Manningham catch. TBH the most pivotal plays in the SB were mostly NE's mistakes. Drops by Welker, Hernadez, Branch (though it was just tipped by Phillips) and an underthrown deep ball from Brady (Chase's pick). I loved Mario's comment about his catch though; "That's just Eli, man. Cool as the other side of the pillow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I saw a sideline angle view on you tube that you never see on TV Someone took a video of Cruz after he split the defender and headed up the sideline..... the video was taken from the sideline as he turned and headed past the camera.........he was practically a blur Picture the NASCAR camera where they show the cars wizzing by...............thats kind of what it looked like....indescribable really If he's not the fastest Giants player, I'd like to see that guy catch Victor from behind...........impossible You should kiss the ground and be very happy he is our "Jeremy Lin"- a miracle dropped in our laps..............lets hope Mara has more sense than the "little toad" Dolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStroud Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I dont know where it is but I do remember the other 99 yd pass Bart Starr calmly lobbed it over our left side DB to a WR and it was clear sailing to the end zone We had crowded the LOS looking for a run.....Starr was looking for the TD....the man had cajonnes of STEEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStroud Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 What about the play where Bradshaw completely trucked the Jets lone defender on the way to the end zone.......funny how our supposedly weak oline opened up that hole you could drive an ice cream truck through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Let's be honest here fellas. Things were looking bleak until this game and in particular......THIS play. All that shit talking by Rex and the Jets woke the sleeping bear that is the NY Giants. The best christmas present came on the eve....and it catapulted us right to a Super Bowl win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwj90GMIeu8 This is true. However, I'd also like to note that Ramses Barden was pivotal on that play too. If Barden doesn't drop the two passes put directly in his hands on the previous two plays, then the 99 yard TD never happens. Not many players would be that unselfish.

The best christmas present came on the eve....and it catapulted us right to a Super Bowl win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwj90GMIeu8 I agree....that was a fucking HUGE play. Literally flipped the script on that Jets game. And, if we had lost to the Jets, the Eagles would have won the NFC east. In my opinion, that was at least the biggest play of the season.....the postseason was it's own story, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStroud Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is there anyone out there who has survived long enough to remember Bart Starr's 99'er against the Allie Sherman Giants?........to me slightly more impressive as it was DESIGNED to go 99..........and of course it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
