I remember the 56 championship, getting robbed in 58, the Glory Years, the Tarkenton years, the 15 years of... and the Fumble, the return to relevance, dominance, Parcells SBs, the Eli/Coughlin SBs. I'm afraid the next time the Giants win a championship, my kids and grandkids will point to the sky and say, "This one's for you, Dad."

Right there with you Boca
I'm 74....fan since 56
I hope they can straighten this ship soon...who knows how many seasons we have left
I'm hoping we can lure Wilson over here for Tarkenton Take2
I like Danny but he needs a few more years and I want to win now- look how Brady turned Tampa around in one season
We have some talent on this team...with Wilson we might just be a 5-6 players away
Wouldn't mind a Yanks WS either. Been way too long. Is it too much to ask for an old school quadrafecta? Gmen, Yanks, Knicks & Rangers in the same year? Yeah, probably.
Maybe we'll hear from Fiddy on this one. I'm quite sure that the "BB56" is significant.
I know it sucks right now, but you guys have lived through a pre-Super Bowl championship and four Super Bowls, some of which are in discussion for top SBs of all time.
Maybe I'll change my tune in 20 years, but a lot of NFL fan bases have it a lot worse.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
the Championship at Yankee Stadium. Got to see an occasional game due to friends with season tickets.
Finally got my own season tickets at Giant stadium just in time to see probably the worst era in Giants history. Had to give them up just as they were getting good again.
Alas! Woe is me!. At 97 my chances of seeing a repeat of the Parcells or Coughlin years are very slim.
Johnny Unitas Colts. Also was at "The Fumble" Game.
Disliked the Eagles more than the Cowboys. Had great respect for Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, onetime Giant Player/Coaches.
You're right, more like a lament than a dilemma.
hoping for another SB in my lifetime (I'm 87).
So I will watch another rebuild, see how it’s done, and perhaps see some success. I am not going to guess or speculate how it will happen or who will lead the way. But i’ll be watching and rooting for the good guys as they try to put together a front office, a coaching staff and a team.
It promises to be interesting but I doubt I will see it’s completion. I will have to be happy with the process, and no more Monday night horrors. Carpoon, I wish you the best as I remember lifting a few with you in the bar in Albany. Be well to you and all us old time, long time, Giant fans.
Go Blue, right the ship, and catch a fair wind and conquer the waves and storms ahead. But also thank you for some terrific football and 5 championships in my lifetime.

Plato, yes I remember you well in Albany. Great memories from the Albany camp.

Joe was made of iron and could play just about any skill position on the field
They don't make them like Joe anymore
I liked Jack Stroud too, and Rosie Brown
John Mendenhall....Wow
Jack Gregory
of course LT and Phil Simms
