If you ask NY Giants fans, the image of Eli's career is his face when Plaxico caught the game-winning TD in Super Bowl 42 or his smile holding up the Lombardi Trophy. If you ask the NY Giants players, the image of Eli's career is that shot at 10:08. So many players on that team have said they saw him getting slammed into the turf play after play, and after each one he'd pick himself up, come back to the huddle with that same dopey look on his face and say "Ok, next play".
It's a miracle that Kyle Williams made it out of that stadium alive. I'm not even a 49ers fan, but I wanted his head for costing what was an awesome team the bowl.
I think Ted Ginn was our regular returner at the time but he was out with an injury so Kyle was the backup. Its a team game with a million plays left out on the field this game but thats all it takes sometimes. Felt bad for the guy as he was receiving death threats to his family and all that. I don't think it was warranted and that among other things left a bad taste in my mouth about the 9ers fanbase.
@@Real_Michael_Jordan Do you jerk off Kyle Williams?? Its just a game! Lol, Yet people get paid millions of dollars to win the game so entire cites can celebrate while people work to make a living. I screw up at my job I get fired!! I get fired!!! Where is that attitude brah!!!!!
To me, this is Eli's greatest game. Not stat wise, but he took a beating and get getting up and made plays when they needed. I don't know too many QB's who could or would have survived that beating.
@Walter White It felt so weird to see both the Giants and the Patriots in yet another Super Bowl after 4 years. Super Bowl XLVI was the first Super Bowl that I decided not to see.
I know this is a 2 year old post but ravens lost on lee Evans dropping a perfectly thrown td pass. The billy cundiff kick was just to tie who knows what would have happened after that. The Evans catch would have sealed it
Two of the three hardest fought Giants games I've ever seen were NFC title games versus the 49ers. The other was the '90 MNF battle with the 49ers. These two teams have has some amazing brawls
Big D I was at this game it was a nightmare. Never get to go to games ether only been to like 3 my whole life. Wish i went to the week prior in the divisional ha
Not to mention the 1990 NFC Championship at that, which, by the way, ended in like manner: with a FG. 🙄 This may sound "salty" of me, but the "props," on the other hand, is something with which I find myself completely unable to concur despite my most valiant of efforts. 😐😑 Go, Niners! Bang bang, Niner gang! ✊❤🤍🏈👍
Eli took the biggest beating of his life in this game and just keept on getting up. What a Giant of a man . Thank you Eli for the great memories. Let's goo G-MEN 💪
9:40 Eli Manning's whole career summed up in one play right here. Toughest QB physically as well as mentally. Played his best football when when his team needed him the most. First ballet HoF.
Not to take away anything from NYGs super wins against NE but I still think the actual post seasons runs were much more impressive. Beating powerhouses like Dallas and GB (shit even TB) in 07 on the road, to beating the powerhouses of GB and SF on the second run. I don’t think anyone was gonna stop them and watching it back in the day was unreal. True Road Warriors. (I’m a pats fan btw)
Even tho I’m a pats fan I gotta appreciate the giants for one of the best underdog super bowl runs in nfl history nothing but respect for eli and this giants defense during this time👏🏼
Much appreciated. NYG fan here but I have a hard time rooting against the Pats after all the good that Belichick did for NY in the 80s. He and Parcells resurrected the team.
This game hurts like no other. The two times 9ers ran ibto each other instead of getting the int. The refs calling forward progress on that strip fumble. And of course Kyle Williams's butterfingers. That 9ers D was at their peak in 2011, despite having great units from 2009-2014; I wish they had gotten at least one SB ring.
@@tomd1434 I've always felt that way. NE was taking maybe its weakest team ever to the super bowl that year. Would've been cool to see both our defense and Alex Smith get a ring. Oh well.. what might've been...
This game reminded me of the early 90's with Simms and Taylor against Montana and Ronnie Lott. End to the 3peat. As a NYG's fan, that was indeed a Bradshaw non fumble that we were gifted. Defenses dictated this game. Muffed punts lost it.
Ur not the only one. This game really defined what both teams were made of. We were great no doubt about it. Giants fan till the end but both teams were amazing to say the least.
As a Giants fan you guys were definitely a better team, we only made the playoffs because we had a shitty division. We had a terrible run game and a bottom half defense but we just played a whole different way in the playoffs and got very lucky but you guys were an insane team but kinda were stuck with an average qb so I feel bad for yall.
and there was more deja vu than just the fumbles. BOTH times you guys beat us in the NFC Championship, we also played you in the regular season, I think we won both of those I regular season games irc
armst012 yup Roger Craig in 90 and Kyle Williams in 2012 Danny , I can remember being 13 watching the 90 game thinking it was over before Craig fumbled .
As a 49er fan, this still hurts…………. The more I look into this loss, the more I feel this set the tone for the 49ers for the rest of the decade. Always being the bridesmaid but never the bride. The 49ers were always graced with damn great teams that were championship contenders while ALWAYS having victory within their grasp in these big games (both SBs included), but always found a way to lose in some BS way. To rub salt in our wounds, the teams we would lose to ALWAYS won the Super Bowl. As if the football gods enjoyed taunting us by robbing us of glory and giving the opposing team history instead. I’ll always support the team, but sometimes I question my sanity doing so. Thank goodness for the SF Giants and Warriors winning their championships because it would have been a decade of pain for us Bay Area fans. Sorry for my long rant..have a nice days.
i HEAR YOU AS A GIANTS FAN I GOT NOTHING BUT RESP ECT FOR YOU GUYS BUT I ENJOY BEATING YOU GUYS , BUT THE NINERS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPACE MY IN MY HEART
I don’t blame you. I’m a Giants fan and I was of course thrilled to win because this was a slug fest….but let’s be honest, the 49ers were the best team in football that year even though the Packers were 15-1. Giants capitalized on the miscues.
Say what u want about Eli....but this game right here told me everything I needed to know about him....Forget about him beating the undefeated Pats this game to me makes him a HOF er
Brian Greenberg LMAOOO all you haters don’t matter if you like it or not this 2x Super Bowl MVP will make it into the hall of fame so cry all you want 🤣🤣😭
The highlights don't do him justice. Eli was getting mollywhopped the entire game behind his shoddy line up against the elite 49ers front 7. This was as gutsy as a performance as you'll ever see--still my favorite Eli game.
This game perfectly sums up why Eli Manning is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Besides the numbers (where he is now top 8 of all time in many major statistical categories -- TDS, yards, etc. -- 2 factors define his hall of fame case. 1. Toughness. He has never missed a game due to injury in 14 years of his career. That is perhaps the most valuable trait your starting quarterback can have. You know how many teams have constant uncertainty at the QB position, or have years wasted because of major injuries to their franchise QBS? Eli takes hit after hit in this game and never once stays down for an extended period of time. He gets right back up, and makes tough throw after tough throw knowing he's gonna be jarred as soon as he lets it go. 2. Clutchness. This game has got to be one of the clutchest QB performances in recent memory. Facing poor weather conditions and the NFL's top defensive line in 2011, Eli threw the ball 50+ times without turning it over. Trailing by 4 in the 4th quarter on a 3rd and 15th in 49ers territory, Eli TD pass to Manningham could not have been more accurate. It took overtime to win, but watching those last minutes of regulation was watching the grittiest performance of Eli's career.
First ballot? Come on, that’s just silly. He has 1 more ring than Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer, and he rode his defenses coat tails to both titles just like those 2. Eli is the most overrated QB of all time.
Man as a kid I grew up in a 49ers household but always supported the Giants. Had a terrible relationship with my father and this was the year I finally left his house. This game meant so much to me.
@First Name Last Name Shouldn't have mattered. It's more about their offense being unable to hold on to the ball. When you keep handing the ball back it makes the pass rushers tired and run out of tricks defensively so eventually a good QB will break through. If you possess the ball at all that doesn't happen
These two defenses were massive. Such a great game. That SF team was so good. Shame they always fell short. And people forget in 2011 Eli was the 2nd best an in the league.
@@JohnGoetzGaming unfortunately you’re wrong cause the results proved him right, he made it to the Super Bowl with Kap not Alex. The facts don’t care about your feelings..
Anyone that doesn't think Eli is a Hall of Famer, watch this full game. Highlights don't do it justice, he got killed physically by SF and kept coming up. Best game of his career IMHO
One of elis best seasons. He carried them! All season their D was bottom of league, their running game bottom Of the league. It was all Eli and his 4th quarter heroics that lead them to playoffs. N The D n run game got better n the rest is history. Believe Eli had most 4th quarter tds in history that year. Pro bowler. Amazing season. N i think this was the year where he was asked if he was an elite qb b4 season started, ppl laughed n as usual, shut their asses up!
A. Smith 12-26, 196 YDS, 2TDS, 1-13 ON 3RD DOWNS but take away V. Davis 3 REC, 112 YDS, 2 TDS equals to A. Smiths performance effort as a quarterback 9-23, 84 YDS, 1-13 ON 3RD DOWNS. Looks like Kyle fuck up Williams wasn’t the only reason why the 49ers lost the NFCCG. Even with one of the best offensive lines in the league, Frank Gore the franchise leading running back, Vernon Davis the most explosive and athletic tight-end in the league, Michael Crabtree a very underrated talented wide receiver, also the #1 defense in the league that made key plays and stops to get him the ball back and Alex Smith only managed to come up with that?!? He always sucked as a game manager quarterback for this team. At least Colin Kaepernick was an upgrade for the team and he was decently good when he was using the read option play and scrambling around to run or throw the ball.
The best highlights team the NFL Network ever had was Rich Eisen, Michael Irvin, Deon Sanders and Steve Mariucci. I loved listening to them comment on games.
I used to consider Elisha Manning as a overrated QB in the NFL because he play in NYC the media capital of the world until the 2011 NFC Championship Game against the 49ers when he took a lot of those hard ass hits and he beat them in their own game and I still don't like him of what he did in the 2004 NFL Draft but he earn some of my respect as a player in the NFL
Scarletbull I'm not mad or bitter that he want to play for the Giants over the Chargers now but I still don't like him of what he did in the 2004 NFL Draft
A game San Fran should have won. That defense was sick. I couldnt believe they eventually moved on from Alex Smith after he finally found his game after weathering a few years of ups and downs. Ultimately I was happy because the Giants did the NFL world justice by beating the New England Cheaters in the SB. To this day I believe San Fran would have eventually won a SB had they stayed with Smith. That team was sick. When I wasnt busy watching Bears games I would watch Harbaughs 49ers. I loved how they played like men anongst boys in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Their offensive line flattened everything in front of them & the LB core of Fangios 3-4 was just as brutal. The Giants were no joke either. I loved the 4 DE front of Fewells NASCAR defense. These two teams historically have alot of good games between each other.
Just like 2007, underdogs all the way (2011 beat Falcons 10-6; Packers 15-1; Niners 13-3; Patriots 13-3). Say what you will about an Eli-lead Giants team, they sure knew how to win when it mattered.
This was several months after my mother died. I said I wanted to see all my father's favorite teams win once more in his lifetime. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl. The Yankees came close. The Rangers lost the Stanley Cup Finals in '14, and The Knicks? FORGET ABOUT IT! Sadly, my father passed 4/19/20, and I have the feeling if an when we do have seasons again, the Yankees, his favorite of the four, will win the thing. I am so distraught for a number of reasons.
Losing to this team twice and watching them win the SBs I couldn't help but think we had a good shot at both of those games as well. Hope this 9er team doesn't get lost to history as well because they were built from scratch from losing horribly during that mid 2000's stretch. A lot of those players came from those bad teams and stuck around it was cool to see them finally winning.
Doesn't anybody still love that old fox scoreboard. Wow guys thanks for the likes. Apreciate it. I’m glad we agree here. The good ole days of football.
Noah Jones yeah they're the best

sam7 he’s a backyard brawler for sure.
What?? Toughness doesn't get you into th HOF. Also, home many picks were flat out dropped in this one? 2? 3? Your statement lacks justification
And "he" only won on a muffed punt return. SMH
This was undoubtedly the most physical football game I ever watched
Giants-49ers has been an epic underrated rivalry since the 1980s.
The 49ers and the Giants have a nasty little playoff rivalry going back to the 80s. I love it.
I remember watching this game like it was yesterday. Damn, I miss our old o-line. #NYG4LIFE #GiantsPride #IBelieveInEli
This will be the 2023 NFC Championship game as well
Yeah about that
One of the best nfc games I’ve seen ever
Man as a kid I grew up in a 49ers household but always supported the Giants. Had a terrible relationship with my father and this was the year I finally left his house. This game meant so much to me.
These 49ers lost to the eventual super bowl champs on a single play 3 straight years. Damn.
Eric Ruiz shit still stings, I swear Harbaugh is cursed, look at the way he lost in Michigan too lol.
Could never get over the hump .
Man now this 2019-20 season all 3 games they lost were on the last play of the game too
Damn
@First Name Last Name
Shouldn't have mattered. It's more about their offense being unable to hold on to the ball. When you keep handing the ball back it makes the pass rushers tired and run out of tricks defensively so eventually a good QB will break through. If you possess the ball at all that doesn't happen
I remember watching this game. Eli Manning took a beating this game , I've never seen anything like it . What a legend g men !!!??!
i just realized the conference championship losers in 2011 played each other in the superbowl the following year
Yeah i noticed that
Just like 1995. Steelers and cowboys played in super bowl 30 the year after losing the conference championships.
John and Jim lost heartbreakers this season but got the wins the following year
How is Kyle Williams going to say “are you kidding me?” When the correct call was made after the replay?
As a die hard 49er fan, this game proves so much about Eli & his teams. Much respect.
We should have won this shows that the nfl is a script
@jaydenoliver9733 stop crying Niners didn't convert a 3rd down till the 4th quarter and they couldn't stop Cruz in the first half I can go on and on
The two best Giants NFC title games? Both against the Niners. These two teams were just so good.
Best game Eli has ever played. Gutsy as hell , will never get old... not sure how you leave him out of the HOF!
They only gave up 14ppg in 4 games vs arguably the 3 top offenses in Atlanta, G.B. , And Patriots during that championship run!
This was such a great ending, seeing Victor Cruz party on the field afterwards, and then doing the Salsa against the Patriots in the Super Bowl
These two defenses were massive. Such a great game. That SF team was so good. Shame they always fell short. And people forget in 2011 Eli was the 2nd best an in the league.
Makes my miserable pandemic quarantining happy for a few minutes. Thank you 2011 Giants and CZcams!
Miss Harbaugh😭😭😭😭
I miss willis and bowman
*Mr.
😢
Harbaugh screwed himself by getting rid of smith for Kap. Shouldnt have sold out for the mobile QB
@@JohnGoetzGaming unfortunately you’re wrong cause the results proved him right, he made it to the Super Bowl with Kap not Alex. The facts don’t care about your feelings..
Anyone that doesn't think Eli is a Hall of Famer, watch this full game. Highlights don't do it justice, he got killed physically by SF and kept coming up. Best game of his career IMHO
Respect,montana was great with niners/simms with my team,won’t see those days again
Huge heartbreak for my Niners, we're used to that in SF. But this truly was a game for the ages.
I’m a 49ers fan and this game still haunts me😕
One of the best games I've seen.
Giants made History this year. 1st time to finish 9-7 and win the Superbowl. Great to have witness this. It will be awhile before this happens again.
One of elis best seasons. He carried them! All season their D was bottom of league, their running game bottom
Of the league. It was all Eli and his 4th quarter heroics that lead them to playoffs. N The D n run game got better n the rest is history. Believe Eli had most 4th quarter tds in history that year. Pro bowler. Amazing season. N i think this was the year where he was asked if he was an elite qb b4 season started, ppl laughed n as usual, shut their asses up!
as a niners fan, I’ll never recover from this. Love you tho Eli
Alex Smith days were painful. Always struggled to get a touchdown.
I’m a 49er fan for life but damn Eli is one tough SOB!
Watched this in Afg great memory of that deployment brought some sunshine to me. GO G-MEN BIG BLUE!
A. Smith 12-26, 196 YDS, 2TDS, 1-13 ON 3RD DOWNS but take away V. Davis 3 REC, 112 YDS, 2 TDS equals to A. Smiths performance effort as a quarterback 9-23, 84 YDS, 1-13 ON 3RD DOWNS. Looks like Kyle fuck up Williams wasn’t the only reason why the 49ers lost the NFCCG. Even with one of the best offensive lines in the league, Frank Gore the franchise leading running back, Vernon Davis the most explosive and athletic tight-end in the league, Michael Crabtree a very underrated talented wide receiver, also the #1 defense in the league that made key plays and stops to get him the ball back and Alex Smith only managed to come up with that?!? He always sucked as a game manager quarterback for this team. At least Colin Kaepernick was an upgrade for the team and he was decently good when he was using the read option play and scrambling around to run or throw the ball.
This Fox scoreboard was easily the best
Vernon Davis was so freaking fast then
Vernon was a Top 5 tight end at this time, the hit by Chancellor a couple years later really messed him up
The best highlights team the NFL Network ever had was Rich Eisen, Michael Irvin, Deon Sanders and Steve Mariucci. I loved listening to them comment on games.
Yea they were great, Eisen was a great highlight guy.
Rich eisen, Michael Irvin, Steve Mariucci, and prime. It’s always so much fun to listen to. Great memories
What a run that year, seemed like it was destiny.
More like rigged
@@richardflores4052 found the Brady stan
@@richardflores4052 get over it eli is Bradys father
@@richardflores4052 eli owns Brady
This right here is why Eli is in the HOF
this is when nfl network was at its best. this crew was perfect
On the eve of a new era in QB for the giants i am looking at the old giants videos. Chills!!!
I used to consider Elisha Manning as a overrated QB in the NFL because he play in NYC the media capital of the world until the 2011 NFC Championship Game against the 49ers when he took a lot of those hard ass hits and he beat them in their own game and I still don't like him of what he did in the 2004 NFL Draft but he earn some of my respect as a player in the NFL
buster60341 Put some RESPEK on his name. All 🌲 of y’all. And I ain’t gon’ say it no mo’! 😑
Scarletbull I'm not mad or bitter that he want to play for the Giants over the Chargers now but I still don't like him of what he did in the 2004 NFL Draft
buster60341 hes a system qb like bracy
@@dongf5628 system qbs or not they still have their respective places in nfl history
Is the algorithm trying to foreshadow a rematch??? Hmmm
God o'mighty I was getting stressed watching it 6 years later. One of the best Giants games ever.
I flew out to SF...most intense game I've ever been to.
A game San Fran should have won. That defense was sick. I couldnt believe they eventually moved on from Alex Smith after he finally found his game after weathering a few years of ups and downs. Ultimately I was happy because the Giants did the NFL world justice by beating the New England Cheaters in the SB. To this day I believe San Fran would have eventually won a SB had they stayed with Smith. That team was sick. When I wasnt busy watching Bears games I would watch Harbaughs 49ers. I loved how they played like men anongst boys in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Their offensive line flattened everything in front of them & the LB core of Fangios 3-4 was just as brutal. The Giants were no joke either. I loved the 4 DE front of Fewells NASCAR defense. These two teams historically have alot of good games between each other.
Eli took a beating I was stunned he was still playing
Just like 2007, underdogs all the way (2011 beat Falcons 10-6; Packers 15-1; Niners 13-3; Patriots 13-3). Say what you will about an Eli-lead Giants team, they sure knew how to win when it mattered.
this was an insane game, still, remember when i was like 9 watching this
This was one of the best playoff games I watched ever.
This was several months after my mother died. I said I wanted to see all my father's favorite teams win once more in his lifetime. The Giants went on to win the Super Bowl. The Yankees came close. The Rangers lost the Stanley Cup Finals in '14, and The Knicks? FORGET ABOUT IT!
Sadly, my father passed 4/19/20, and I have the feeling if an when we do have seasons again, the Yankees, his favorite of the four, will win the thing. I am so distraught for a number of reasons.
We blame Williams but Alex Smith had plenty of opportunities to set up the team for atleast a Field Goal -_-
Saints vs 49ers divisional was the best game I've seen in years. It was gold, win or lose.
When we won this game I already knew we were Super Bowl champions that year.
Just one ring in this three-year Niners stretch woulda been great. This and the Seahawks NFC Title game literally every break went the opponent's way.
Still hurts to this day
Giants haven't had a WR like Victor Cruz since. He was special. P-Town legend!
Back then was some grown man playing 💪🏽
It's amazing how so many breaks went against the Niners that day, not just Kyle Williams
except the Bradshaw fumble
Bear pascoe
Thank you Eli for all the memories!
Losing to this team twice and watching them win the SBs I couldn't help but think we had a good shot at both of those games as well. Hope this 9er team doesn't get lost to history as well because they were built from scratch from losing horribly during that mid 2000's stretch. A lot of those players came from those bad teams and stuck around it was cool to see them finally winning.
