That's the one. As much as I loved the first two Giants SB wins, I was going absolutely nuts near the end of that game as I did NOT expect them to realistically have a chance. I was quite literally screaming at Coughlin via the TV after the go-ahead TD; my best bud said it was something like "you go into prevent defense I swear to God I'll crawl through that TV and beat you senseless with a boat oar" but I may as well have been speaking in tongues at that point. I had no voice for two days afterwards. Didn't hurtthat I also won my office squares pool. Helluva game.
One more vote for the Giants upset of the Cheatriots...Just click my signature. When Plaxico caught the game-winning TD I hugged my wife so hard I nearly broke her ribs. Folks also don't remember how close Moss was to catching Brady's bomb with less than a minute to go.

Definately a classic, but Boise St/Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl is probably the best football game I've ever seen.

I was at this gameBet the under due to horrible weather(it was tough just getting into the stadium) I think GB scored enough to cover it by themselves.

Is that the game Tiger Greene rode Matt Suhey like Secretariat when they were 10 yards out of bounds?

I was at that game in the Orange Bowl (20 yard line) (still have my ticket stub). At one point before halftime the Chargers were up 24-3 (if memory serves me correctly) my Dad turned to me and said we may be leaving early....then Don Strock comes in hit's the hook and lateral before halftime and the rest was history.I could not talk for days (horse from screaming all night) I was 11 years old. I was crying after we lost. I have never cried again at any lost football game. I was so emotionaly invested in that game. It was hands down the greatest game of any sport I have to this day ever seen.Second place would be the 85 Dolphins Bears game. I was there on the 45 yard line near the sideline. Seeing all the 72 Dolphins pacing up and down the sidelines....chills. What a great win for the Dolphins.

2009 wildcard round Green Bay at Arizona. Final score 51 to 45. Rodgers 422/4 and Warner 379/5. Ended on a sack fumble that Rodgers tried to kick out of bounds. Warner went 29/33 and threw more touchdown passes than incompletions.
I enjoy a defensive slugfest as much as anyone but this game was just two amazing QB's playing at the highest level.

Best game ever on TV?
I will never forget watching the San Francisco/Green Bay game where the TO Catch II happened.
Best game in person?
It wasn't the NFL, but hands down the greatest thing these eyes have ever seen was sitting goal line about 10 rows up to the USC/Notre Dame Bush Push game in South Bend back in 2005.

Not the best game, but probably the best 6 minutes ever - SF vs. New Orleans in the playoffs 2011 divisional round.

The first game the Browns played when they came back in 1999. I dont even remember who they played or if they even won the game (pretty sure they lost 
), but it was the best thing ever.

wait a second... i remember that Reich game... but wasn't that the 1993 playoffs? and wasn't it the Bills over the Oilers?
The 1986 (or year before or after) or 90s Giants were the most fascinating team to watch IMO. I thought Phil Simms was nails as a QB, but he didn't throw much. They had a plodding offense. Little Joe Morris was downright fascinating. Camera views show the D literally couldn't see him behind the big OL at times and ...oh he was something. Mark Bavaro, despite a short short career, is the best TE ever IMO in the sense that some call some RBs best ever with short careers. (I'm fine shifting to Sharpe or someone else, context) I've never seen an NFL player carry four or five defenders on his back and keep running. There has probably never been a better player to characterize the "man among boys" phrase. Their D was awesome, best ever type. Lawrence Taylor by himself was fascinating to watch.
How would the Giants slow offense outscore Montana and the Niners? How great is the Giants D and BB, can they stop the oh so creative and elusive Randall? The Bears were similarly built with an awesome D and plodding O, how would they matchup? Gibbs' Hoggs were awesome and could move any defense, could they move the Gmen's DL of unsung players like Jim Burt and Leonard Marshall? Dexter Manley did his own sack master routine, was blocking LT in practice enough practice or would he be all over Simms all day?
The NFC was loaded then! The AFC got dominated in Super Bowls for years and no one was surprised.
The Bills were stacked. They became the butt of jokes losing four Supes and all, but they were loaded with talent. Player by player, if we could use some modicum like pro bowls or AP voting, they are likely one of the top teams ever. Anyhow, that Supe with wide right was the best game ever IMO. I felt like the Bills walked to the Supe while the Giants went through battle after battle to get there. Such a close game. A top K then kicks it wide right. I have ever since thought the Bills entire history would be different had he made that kick. They really were a real good team that just lost "it" in big games after that.

I love how Texas people love their HS football. This has migrated up to OK some and out to Arkansas some, but the most love is far and away in Texas.
I never saw a HS game anything like this growing up in the Northeast. I have relatives all over and (web) friends all over and it is simply not like this in the rest of the US. I enjoy just telling them about it.
HS teams with a $100,000 work out bubble is ridiculous. HS teams playing in a stadium that can hold as many fans is insane. HS coaches getting 250k per year salary....
I think, despite Friday night Lights' popularity, there is still a giant portion of America that doesn't believe it exists.
If you are a football fan, you need to take a long weekend from work some time and check out a Texas HS game. It should be on your football bucket list.
I had an uncle coming for a visit. He flew into OKC not Dallas so I got him to come with me to a Jenks game. He lives in Virginia and has a flag on his front lawn every fall that reads "Jenks HS." He had a great time and loves to have people come say Jenks? What's Jenks? just so he can talk about it.
Texan LB Brian Cushing grew up in NJ like me. He's said several times he wants to retire in Texas and live near a HS football field. Even if he's an old man, he wants to be able to catch a Texas HS football game.
Really, this has to be a bucket list item for football fans.
So interesting you wrote this in a best game ever thread. I'm sure it was, just fascinating is all.

I'm actually kind of shocked that nobody mentioned the Giants/Packers 2007 NFC Championship Game. The Super Bowl that year was amazing but in terms of an amazing game to watch? I remember that game being one of the best games I've ever seen. Easily one of the best 4th quarters I remember in recent memory. Not to mention the fact that it was like 3 degree out that day. The image of Coughlin's wind beaten red face will never disappear from my memory. The Giants missing two field goals to go ahead then picking the ball in OT and getting the field goal for the win. Just an amazing game to watch.

Not THE best, but most memorable as a youth: Linky to Namath-Unitas 1972 Duel- Namath passed for 496yds/6tds (including back to back 80yd TD strikes to Caster to win game) and Unitas for 376 and 2. My favorite Namath game, I had command of the family couch/TV for the game thanks to stitches and a mild concussion suffered playing tackle with no equipment that morning.

As a Broncos fan who was watching with 5k+ other Broncos fans at the old McNichols Arena, nothing will ever top SB32. The screaming, the tears, the hugs, the doubt after the Freeman TD to start, the Elway helicopter, holding my breath when Atwater didn't get back up, the disbelief that we finally won one while being 2TD underdogs. It still gives me chills to talk about it.
