Seems like Julius Peppers is on there for things he did in the prior decade and I'm not sure Honey Badger belongs, but overall, as lists go - it isn't too bad.

Jerry Reese actually had a decent track record finding truly elite talents, 2 in 1 decade picked in the middle of the first round is a pretty solid track record. Unfortunate both just peaked in year 2 and it was all downhill after that...
8 franchises won the championship in the decade. The Giants are the only championship team without one player on the list. That said, there's really not a clear choice.
Julius Peppers sticks out as not belonging for this decade
The Giants were awful almost immediately following the last parade and its continued to today. Some individual year's performances were great (OBJ 2016), but no one that performed at a consistently high level for the better part of a decade.
Who would anyone include from that miserable decade?
The team was in the toilet during that forgettable decade. Should Beckham Jr. be on the list? How 'bout Ereck Flowers or Eli Apple? During that decade the team that Jerry Reese built was pathetic. The man had no clue how to choose players for the offensive line, and his defense (which has always been the calling card of the N.Y. Football Giants) was a damn joke.

Hard to think of a Giant that would belong.
OBJ?
3 years isn’t good enough by far. . Too many injuries and wasted talent.
We won one Super Bowl in the 80s, one in the 90s, and one in the 00s. When we won in the second year of the 10s, I thought, "Dear God, what about the rest of the decade?"

Beckham has 5 1000K plus seasons, not sure why 2 of those don't count for you.
Stacked up against Johnson (6 seasons each) the per game averages inclusive of last season stack up.
The only factor keeping Beckham off this list is health. Over 6 seasons these are damn good numbers, even with the missed games.
Was there a year when OBJ was the best WR in the league? Anyway, you can’t tell me you’d take OBJ over the guys on that list. He’s not more talented than Megatron, he doesn’t have as much character as Larry’s practice jersey let alone the man or his clutch and unbelievable body of of work. AB is a total head case, obvi, but he was a better WR than OBJ, not by a lot, but I think better along the sidelines and tougher and more clutch and I think JJ is easily better all around and more durable. Think they got WRs right.

Not too bad. Only 2 Cowboys. Probably too high for a team that didn't have success, though.
Looking back at last decade, I am struck by the number of Giants who had great beginnings of their careers and were cut down by injury.
The guy who probably deserves to be on there is JPP. He's had such an incredibly underrated career, obscured by his stupidity off the field.
Lost decade??!!! We won two Superbowls! Holy smokes.....

We won one SB and we wasted half of manning's career. We should have won another.
Odell has been in the league since 2014, but I wouldn't put him over Julio, Evans, Brown, or Hopkins. Maybe if he had stayed healthy.
Bingo

70-90, Eight seasons no play offs, Super Bowl or not, that s a tough decade.

Most fans would glady trade anything for a SB a decade.
