message: This page has been vandalized several times recently by Bills fans making it appear Buffalo won, and trying to give Thurman Thomas the MVP. (I would have voted for Thurman Thomas over Ottis Anderson).
I recommended there be some protection for this page.

message: Two questions:
1.  Wasn't there a statement on this page that ABC had shown a graphic just before Scott Norwood's fateful miss that said Norwood had struggled when attempting field goals of more than 40 yards on grass?
2.  Could this be considered foreshadowing and/or a fluke?  WAVY 10 18:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I tweaked the final sentence in the first paragraph.  It is highly redundant to say that a 1 pt score is the smallest margin of victory in superbowl history. Lolwikiments (talk) 21:44, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Smallest margin of victory 

message: This has not been discussed much, but during the Giants 10-0 run in 1990, the offensive game plan of the Giants changed slightly, with a decreased emphasis on the running of Mr. Otis Anderson.  The 1990 Giants, despite the early perfect record, were not such the powerful team as compared with the 1986 squad, though still formidable.  During this undefeated run, Mr. Anderson was accumulating 100 yard rushing games and was on pace to set a personal distinction of some sort.  However, oddly this would change, and Otis ended up not being used as much.  Whether this was happenstance, or purposive, I am unsure, but I believe it to be the latter.  The Giants passing game at this time was having it's problems, as Phil Simms was aging.  The change, in mid to late season, would be to mix matters up more.  A courageous, even prima facie illogical, change, yet showing perspicuous insight.  The change was to emphasize, and attempt to improve, the passing slightly, at a time when it was weak, with the danger being that if there were no improvement to the passing game, the offense could stall after a time, as opponents adjusted.  Interestingly, during what would be the Giants final game of the season - Super Bowl XXV - I am speculating there may have been a tactical return to this early success.  Many people have congratulated Belichick for the XXV Defensive game plan, but I believe credit also rests with Bill Parcells and the Offensive Coaching staff, and players.  If you recall, the Giants offense held the ball for almost 2/3 of the game (40 minutes).
        The Giants did go on to lose a slew of games toward the end of that year - inevitable anyway.  Nevertheless, this 'mid-season adjustment' by the Giant coaching staff (as I suggest) which was to switch the burden more toward the Quarterback, mentally prepared the new QB Jeff Hostetler for the playoffs, and the team strategically, as a mixed offense would now be presented.  It is my opinion, that if this did not occur, the Giants would not have gone on to win SB XXV, but would have been stopped somewhere.  So then the final return to Mr Anderson for offense power, in XXV, was simply a return to the early Giant successes of the year, was perhaps an interesting tactical move.  Maybe it is simply how 25 turned out... but talk has concerned the remarkable Giants Defensive game plan for XXV; so it was; nonetheless, what was just as important, was the Offensive.  John G.

message: I may have mentioned this other places, but if so to reiterate, I believe it was the 1990 N. Y. Giants that commenced the now standard 'Gatorade Bath' -- or however one is to term it -- of the Head Coach after an important win.  The players had actually been doing this to Head Coach Bill Parcells throughout much of the Giants 1990 Championship season, even during the regular season.  (The Giants began the year undefeated at 10 - 0.)  I am not sure that it literally commenced with the 1990 Giants, or whether they got the idea from some other source, but remember that it was at least made famous by them.  (John G.
