Da Bears/giants History Facts

[crazystarky]

As important a game as this is, it will be a tough one for the Giants to win. Not only does the injury situation work against them, but so does history. The last time they beat Chicago in Giants Stadium was during the 1990 playoffs, a 31-3 divisional playoff victory en route to the Super Bowl title. They've never beaten Chicago in three regular-season meetings at Giants Stadium.

What sits in the Giants' favor is that they've played the tougher schedule. Chicago's victory over Seattle was their only win over a team with a winning record. The cumulative record of the vanquished is 21-35. The Giants have wins over Philadelphia, Washington, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Houston, who have a cumulative record of 21-28.

With a defense expecting to play without five starters, beating the Bears could be a tall order, despite the on-going debate over whether Chicago's schedule diminishes its success.

SERIES HISTORY: 46th meeting. The Giants trail the regular season series 26-17-2 and trail the postseason series 5-3. One has to go all the way back to 1991 for the Giants' most recent victory in Giants Stadium, a 31-3 win in the NFC divisional playoff game en route to the Super Bowl title. The Giants have never beaten the Bears in Giants Stadium during the regular season, losing in 1977, 1995, and 2004. In fact, one must go back to 1969 in Yankee Stadium for the last home win, 28-24 on Oct. 6.

will a win finally come for DA giants at home vs bears ?

although i enjoy historival facts they are pretty much useless when 2 teams play each so infrequently......nobody is left over from those teams........

[crazystarky]

what is the meaning of a rivalry then? if two different teams play each year in any sport and the intensity is there through history and facts ,then why does the outcome usually 90% of the time happen in favor of history?
I know this isn't a big rivalry game but you get my drift!!!

I do know what you mean here but I do not think the facts are that useless infact I think its a good tool within any sport

[TwoTonTony]

this is not a rivalry.....you hit the nail on the head......Most of those games were from the old NFL.....

a rivalry is like the Giants vs the Cowboys....where there is recent history as well as ancient history.....

IMHO these facts are for fun and mean nothing in terms of the historical ones.......

The last meaningful games they played were roughly 20 years ago in 85 and 86

The NYJ beat NE today, Clev beat Atlanta, Pitt beat NO, Miami beat KC. Did I miss one? Almost, but Balt came back to win. The point is that tougher schedule doesn't mean crap in the NFL. ANY GIVIN SUNDAY IT CAN HAPPEN.
