Thinking about how beaten down this fanbase is, it occurred to me the team really has not had many great moments in the new stadium. Very few moments to go crazy over. Even the 2011 Super Bowl run was mostly on the road, the one game against Atlanta at home is probably the best we’ve had at home since MetLife opened.
Here’s what came to mind for me:
- Playoff win over Atlanta, 2011 season
- Odell Beckham catch against Dallas, 2014 I think? I don’t even know if they won that game.
- Victor Cruz 99 yards and the win over the Jets. Although this was actually a Jets home game.
I think the defining game at MetLife so far was the 2010 DeSean Jackson loss. That comes to mind first unfortunately.

Jan 1st 2012 clinch division knocking off Cowboys
Jan 8th 2012 WC win over Atlanta
Definitely not Beckham's catch in a losing effort.
Maybe the Dallas Sunday night against Dallas in 2016 that at least helped clinch a convincing WC birth at 11-5.
The other game that for whatever reason comes to mind is the catch by Larry Donnell on SNF versus San Fran.........seconds remaining and a great catch.
But really...other than that, there hasn't been much. We've been spinning our wheels.
ummm... the Cowboy division clincher in 2011...
Let's see...no, they lost that one...and wait...no lost that one too.
My son's first Giants game was the game against Tampa Bay in 2012
We scored 25 points in the 4th quarter. Mark Barron's uncle was sitting in front of us and was such a gentleman.

After that, it's really only the Cruz 99 yard TD run. And that game was actually a Jets home game.
was a big moment for all the wrong reasons
The regular season finale against Dallas.
Tee Wild Card win against Atlanta.
Don't even mention that overrated Beckham catch. The Giants lost that game, therefore, it meant nothing. Its just a fancy highlight lacking any substance.
Agreed.....had two of my daughters there with me and the place erupted. They've been hooked ever since despite there being little to cheer about since..............Grrrrrr

What he said!
This was a good one. While that 2016 team was obviously flawed and a bit fraudulent, it was a helluva lot better than what's followed since then. That was a really big win that night, probably the last win we've gotten that truly mattered
and when Eli selflessly jumped on that fumble
It was like you knew something special was happening

i'm talking about the 2011 win and in game
THIS was the highlight of my MetLife experiences - I've gone to 3 games since they knocked down the house that LT built.
Such luxury - and for only 350% more than I paid for the accommodations during the Parcells era.
What they've done to this franchise and it's fanbase is unforgivable.
We won the game 10-7 and played great defense.
Yeah we lost the game, but nobody really cares because that play basically overshadowed the game. It's a play you'll see on TV for years.
It was also the play that catapulted OBJ to the main stage.
I was at that game and it's a truly amazing play/moment when you are talking about that particular play for days after the event and it's getting more press than the Giants blowing another game
Back and forth game, Giants pull it out 27-24, one of the essential pieces to the eventual SB payoff.
Few days from now, Manning-Fitzpatrick once more. There is a saying that, when history repeats, it does so as farce.
