Born and raised in Dallas TX. Lifelong Cowboy fan. Much respect for the NYG and Phil Simms

Mark Bavaro, Joe Morris, Maurice Carthon, Phil McConkey, and Lionel Manuel, and that great offensive line, LOVE IT!!!

Injuries wrecked Bavaro's career, but when he was in his prime, he was my favorite player --and I am fro Chicago!

that pass at 1:36 exemplifies Simms talent. Look at how it drops it in there over Bavaro's outside shoulder among 3 defenders! Just fantastic! He threw for over 500 yards with NO LONG PASSES, and not much for yards after the catch. Phil simply diced up the defense with incredibly accurate passing. And while the big ball is more exciting, as an ex-QB (not very good) I can tell you that a spot-on 15-20 yard bullet on a crossing pattern is MUCH harder than hitting a guy on a 50 yard flag or streak. Just imagine having to anticipate not only where the receiver will be as he hauls ass across the middle, but also anticipating where the corners, LBs and safety will be. Not where they ARE...but where they will - or more importantly, WON'T - be when the ball gets to that point in space. It's absolutely amazing it works out as often as it does. The great ones make something extremely difficult look SO easy.

Lionel Manuel caught 8 for 111 and Bavaro caught 12 for 176! Great highlights, thanks!

40-62 for 513. Wow.

One thing Simms did throughout his career that this film illustrates is how well he distributed his passes. Bavaro was the main guy throughout this game but I heard Morris, McConkey, Carthon, Manuel and Bobby Johnson called out as well.

Bavaro was a beast!

Bavaro was so underrated,dude was a machine!

Thanks for another vintage vid! I think Simms belongs in the HOF. No gaudy numbers, he was consummate passer, his Super Bowl MVP performance remains unmatched for accuracy. He was also a monster competitor, but he never had half the play-making receivers Eli’s had. When he did, it was Simms to Bavaro! Did they hook up on some of the most memorable plays ever!

Just one TD, that's insane

L.T. vs Anthony Munoz..... Please show some Bengal offense highlights!

Some of them throws were pretty awesome. Loved Phil Simms. I started watching toward end of his career(1990). Still he's one of my all time faves. LT, Strahan, Armstead, Tiki, Eli, Toomer, Simms, and Rodney Hampton. Those my all time fave Gmen of my fandom yrs(90-present). Got a feeling Barkley gonna join that list sooner then later.lol

GREAT UPLOAD!! THANKS!!

I remember this game vividly . Boomer vs. Phil , thanks brother .

Great work as usual John

He never had the biggest arm, but he was so accurate, he could dice you up.

Thank you

There is suspense to that video. When a qb throws 513 yards you start to wonder how its possible that he might not even have one touchdown pass...not until the final throw.

This clip proves what a difference having a great offensive line makes. Clean pocket all game long . If Daniel Jones had this kind of time in the pocket with the quality of recievers Phil had, he thrives his first 3 years.

oh man..remember in the good old days when on 3rd and long they actually tried to throw for a third down...unlike today when its mostly screens and dink/dunk in the hope the defence screws up.....

Crazy (& unimpressive) thing to me.. Simms basically telegraphed every pass. Almost no looking-off defenders, virtually no play-action fakes. Simms just took the snap & watched his intended receiver the entire play. No real long balls either. Still a great yardage day tho.

Funny that half of the tackles made in that game would;d be penalties today,

Strange stats: 513 yards, but only one completion for more than 30 yards (and 32 at that). Sacked 7 times. Only 1 TD pass against 2 INTs. And the Giants lost. Bavaro looked great, though.

No touchdowns til his last pass. Strange game. They were down 12 when Simms connected on the TD. They outgained the Bengals 470-199 but had 4 turnovers and were down 21-0 before making it a game.

Not as impressive as the NFL Monday Night Football game, Nov. 17, 1975, featuring the Bills with O.J. Simpson's 200 yards rushing vs. the Bengals with Ken Anderson's unprecedented 447 yards through the air--every one needed to defeat the Bills--and in the era of the "dead ball" when the game was played on the ground, when scoring was low, when an Isaac Curtis could be mugged all the way down field and when a QB like Anderson could be harassed, blinded, tackled high and low within a rapidly collapsing pocket. The game showcased the old game emphasizing defense and rushing vs. the new game devised by Bengal coach Paul Brown and his quarterback coach Bill Walsh to use the high-percentage pass to be competetive against bigger and brawnier teams.. The result was a livelier game with higher scores and more action. This 1975 game represented a contrast and a seminal milestone, giving the nation a glimpse of the future of professional football. (Of course, teams like Ditka's Bears would show that throw-backs to the Monsters of the Midway would occasionally re-take control.)

+john smith Can u show little clips of Giants vs colts 2006?

All these passes were right on the money

I attended this game and offered the fellow who got the ball from the final pass to Adams $200.00/

Look at that Oline.

The 1985 season for the Giants made me crazy. They lost the division to the Cowboys despite being much better than Dallas. The Giants outgained the Bengals by 300 yards and lost. They should have beaten the Browns, and the Cowboys at least once, if not twice. The Giants should have cruised to the division and then played the Bears for the NFC title. It could have been back-to-back Superbowls for the Giants in "85 and "86.

Damn shame Bavaro had all those knee injuries, would've easily been in the Hall if not.

UM-AYYY-ZING!

He throws like Heineke

I was at this game. Munoz didn't let LT even sniff Boomer. Was a fun game to watch.

Did he have any td

This game proves the point Ive been making for years; YARDS AFTER CATCH overrated. This guy threw for 513 threw the air. Joe Morris made a good catch and run as did Bavaro but the most of these yards were legitimate quarterback passing yards thru the air.

Would've been 1013 if the pass "defense" rules of today were a thing back then, lol.

I don't know if I ever saw so many yards on mostly dinks and dunks....

Bavaro didn't have a big game or anything did he?

He picked them apart.

Is this real? C’mon man. I’ve been watching the Giants these last two years and there’s no way the Giants played like this. Somebody figured out how to Photoshop football.

how many touchdowns did Phil Simms had in this game?

Who the heck was the Bengals D-coordinator in this game?!? Every time Cincy blitzed, the G-Men picked it up and Simms connected with someone. The DB's didn't look very good in man to man coverage.

Did the giants win?

Too bad no fantasy football back then...Simms would have generated a ton of points!!

Can you upload Eli’s 510 yards vs. Tampa Bay in 2012?

Giants lost this game too!!

And only one touchdown pass

That same day later on chi played @sf and they had pat & John do this game? Really? CBS’s bias for the nyg really bothered me

The bengals, lol

What were Boomer's stats on this day?

And they lost the game, if memory serves me. Meaningless record.
