picture.

an Eagles fan just died.

thread, but why did they change the Halas Trophy? The new NFC Championship Trophy doesn't do it for me.

We Giants fans are a lucky group.

I know the way he left turned some people sour, but I've never seen a stretch of Giants football like that since and I doubt I ever will.

helped a great deal..

Correct.

I'd pose for pictures in front of those trophies with two middle fingers raised.

and pre free agency. Much easier to build a consistent regular season winner.

I'm glad you're not him.

good for him.

looking forward to seeing another Lombardi in there soon...

I agree... disliked the new trophy compared to older one

hahaha

is pretty remarkable. Thanks so much for posting.

but that stretch from 85-90 included two 10 win seasons, as well as 12/13/14 win seasons. That was some stretch. I also liked how tough a place Giants Stadium became for visitors under Parcells. You didn't come into our house and push us around. Take out the fluky '87 season with the scabs and that was some godamn run.

um, per my 12:52, you do realize TC has never had the benefit of keeping his team in tact for many years a la Tuna pre-FA, yes? And as Phil mentioned, pre-salary cap as well

Dude, c'mon.

And both don't need any defending on here other than parcells not playing nice with ownership/mgmt for very long. But that was just tuna's personality.

2005-2011 wasn't exactly chopped liver. 11 win season, two 10 win seasons, a 12 win season and the 9 win season in 2011 that turned into a Super Bowl title... Glorious run. The 8 win season in 06 is forgivable as that team got rocked with injuries. 2009 and 2013 were coughlin's worst here. He made up for 09 let's hope he makes up for 2013...

eyes are getting bad....for a second when I saw all those Lombardi's I thought it was the Eagles trophy case.

This should be a picture that is added to the Giants HOF room front and center! Football Greatness X2!

Plax not been so stupid Tom might be sitting on three...

The new Halas and Hunt trophies are horrible. They look like cheap pieces of junk.

Great picture, though. And Coughlin has Parcells beat with total rings.

really have to wear a Cowboys shirt? Gah!

love the man, but he needs someone to vet his outfits, specifically the high waisted pants :)

Great pic..NY Giants the best

But Parcells' Giants were clearly superior to Coughlin's Giants. That's just reality.

really like an autographed version of that and I'm not much for collectibles.

they were Parcells and Bellicheck's Giants. Those teams were built around great defenses and BB was a major reason for that.

As far as comparing BP's teams to TC's, it's apples and oranges...soooo many different variables that it makes it impossible to point to one or the other.

Randy not sure what point you were trying to make there, but I stand by it. I love Coughlin and this era, but it's bizarre to me how mediocre we have been at home under him. I know it doesn't matter as long as you win. Fifty Six your point is a fair one, although lets not act like Coughlin's Giants teams have been ripped apart by free agency. In fact one could argue free agency has helped him(Mckenzie, Plax, Pierce, Rolle etc...)more than hurt him. I don't want to turn this into Coughlin bashing because like I said I love what the guy has done here. Just saying that in my lifetime we have had no more dominant era of Giant's football than those years of '85-90.

Make JR hit FA and next years draft early and often on the D side and make another SB era.

That Philly case needs a Geno's Steak and Cheese sub to complete their claim to fame.

It's great to be a Giants fan.

Guess I'll have to wait until I get home. Stupid work filters. Can't they see this is important!

Go Giants!

hey, my "funnest" era was 1956-1963..6 championship games, 1 championship..

Very true, but another way to look at it is that Parcells was much better at choosing his DC.

pretty damn good era. Of course seeing as I was born in '68 can't really pull up any memories of that one. ahhh who cares the fact that we have all these era's to talk about as fans make us one pretty damn lucky group!

NFL Championships displayed (having never been to the MetLife lobby)?

Was there any trophy or plaque?

The 1934 Ed Thorpe Trophy from The Sneakers Game is in Canton at the HOF. I took a picture of it when I was there, I'll see if I can dig it up and post it here.

The ones from 1938 & 1956 should certainly be displayed next to those Lombardi Trophies though.

is sad and unfortunate.

The league was established during the early years and made the game great through the 40's and 50's yet none of those championships seem to matter to anyone in the NFL nor to any fans. I argue all the time that the Giants have 8 championships.

Agreed, and truth is, as much fun as it is to make fun of the Eagles for never winning a Super Bowl, they did win 3 NFL Championships.

The last one being during the Eisenhower administration:)

off an undefeated team in a title game!

I agree with you 1,000%. I don't understand why pro football's rich and colorful history isn't celebrated more.
