About The New York Giants
From 1933- 1946, thirteen years, the Giants qualified for the NFL championships an astonishing 8 times and won twice. During this time, the New York Giants were led by Steve Owens, the Hall of Fame coach. The team in 1934 defeated the Chicago Bears in an icy championship game wearing sneakers to provide better traction for the players.
It wouldn't be until 1956 that the team would win another championship with running back Frank Gifford and linebacker Sam Huff. The 1956 New York Giants ticket holders were watching future Hall of Famers, including their coach. Fresh from being let go from the Dallas Cowboys, the team picked up Tom Landry to coach defense and the infamous Vince Lombardi coaching he defense. From 1958-1963, the team played the championships 5 times, but failed to win any of those games.
1964-1978 was a dismal time for the New York Giants. Ticket sales were at a low because the team only had two winning seasons and failed to make it to the playoffs. Because of star players aging, the teams strength declined quickly. In 1966, the team acquired the leagues worst record, 1-12-1. Their offense allowed more than 500 points scored in 1966.
In 1979, the New York Giants ticket holding fans would start seeing a resurgence of the team. They would begin what would eventually be the steps needed to become a star team of the NFL again The team drafted quarterback Phil Simms and Linebacker Lawrence Taylor. In a change that would effect the upcoming years, the head coach was replaced with Bill Percells.
Percells first year with the team was a huge struggle. The team went 3-12-1 at the end of the season It wouldn't be until 1986 that the team would finally end the season with a respectable record, 14-2. With Percell at the helm, the team would continue to struggle for years. In 1990, he resigned from his position and was replaced by Ray Handley, the team's offensive coordinator. Handley would coach for two seasons and much to the disappointment of the New York Giants ticket holders, they would not be successful years for the team.
Finally in Super Bowl XLII, the New York Giants ticket holders would have something to be proud of. The team went in as the underdog, the Patriots being favored by 12.5 points. The Giants managed to end the game, winning with a score of 17-14. This without a doubt was the greatest win in the teams franchise history.
This year, we can look forward to Eli Manning putting up a good fight to win during his sixth season with the New York Giants. He will be playing without Burress and possibly Amani Toomer who has yet to re-sign to the team.
There will be a lack of go-to receivers for Manning to throw to and they will have to rely on a running game to score the points. But the New York team is highly resilient and while the road will be long and rough, New York Giants ticket holding fans can be assured a good run for their money.
