I am not sure there will be any greater thrill in NFL history (and possibly sports history) for any fan than to see their team win 3 postseason games on the road and then defeat the team about to be known as the greatest team in history in the final game of the season so as to keep them from being called the greatest team in history (and win the world championship in the process, which was the first in my consciousness as a giants fan because I was born in Nov 1987, so my formative giants fan years were horrible, making it that much sweeter). I am not sure any fan of any team will feel the level of elation die-hard Giants fans did in that moment, ever. That touchdown pass to Plaxico will always live in my mind as the greatest moment possibly any sports fan has ever felt and I am confident in saying so .... So we do still have that.
An Eagle fan at work was ribbing me and my reply was that i've seen the Giants win 4 in my adult life (one in person SB 46)...
Just hoping for a few more before i die
Real suffering was being a Giants fans from the late 60's until 1983. Those were the wilderness years when the entire Giants organization was rotten to the core with no end in sight...

Well the first super bowl was before I was born and the 2nd one I don't remember at all. One of my earliest football memories is the '93 playoff loss to the 49ers where the Giants got blown the hell out. I know the 70s were bad, but I think 1994-2006 was still a pretty awful time to grow up as a Giants fan.
In that "awful time", the team still won the division 3 times, had a SB appearance and finished at .500 or above 8 years.
That's "awful"?
Fuck.
Run, Run, Incomplete, punt.
QB
Joe Pisarcik - 143 for 301, 2,096 yards, 12 td, 23 int
Read it again. Tell us about 2004.
RB
Doug Kotar - 149 rushes for 625 yards, 1 td, & 22 catches for 225 yards and 1 td.
FB
Larry Csonka - 91 rushes for 311 yards, 6 td, & 7 catches for 73 yards and 0 td - FWIW, Csonka ran for over 1,000 on rejoining Miami the next season. He still had it. The Giants didn't.

Just such a feeling of peace.
It takes a special breed of prick to "rib" someone after their team won the big one. Fuck off!
effin'Morton, the Fumble, finally the crawl to respectability under George Young, LT, Phil Simms, Parcells. You have no idea what SB XXI was like for my generation of Giants fans Don't mean to be a scold but you can't begin to comprehend how good you've had it.
