Watching the 1990 NFC Championship between the 49ers and Giants for the first time. No spoilers!
Roger Craig off to a strong start. Seems like this will be a memorable performance for him.
No. 56 on the Giants seems like a decent player.
Jumbo Freaking Elliott. Almost forgot about him.
John Madden: "Now this is a bootleg. See Hostetler fake there? Now he brings the ball out to the right. So it looks like it's a run but no no no no: it's a pass."

Unreal analysis.
Ronnie Lott just killed Mark Ingram. No flag.
The Giants called a fullback dive on first and 10. Times have changed.
Madden: "Bill Belichick is the defensive coordinator of the Giants. This guy is a very good coach. And they're talking about him as a possible head coach in the NFL this year. He's only 38 years old."
Summerall: "He's very intense."
If Mike Holmgren calls one more pass for Mike Sherrard, Holmgren officially is on the hot seat.
Madden: "We were talking to Bill Belichick last night, and he said, 'You have to take away Rice. You have to take away Taylor. And if Montana is going to beat us, then he's going to beat us with guys like Rathman and Jones catching the ball.'"
The 49ers defense has no answer for Dave Meggett. Who the hell is Dave Meggett?
Everyone's afraid to say it, so I will: Jeff Hostetler is a better fit for what the Giants want to do on offense than Phil Simms.
Steve Young would have won this game. Joe Montana is a system quarterback.
