New York Giants Playoff Tickets

About The New York Giants

Last season those fans at Giants Stadium saw great football. After an opening two game losing streak, New York went 10-4 on their way to the playoffs. The postseason found them as underdogs in every contest, from the wild card round game in Tampa to the Super Bowl against the Patriots in Glendale, Arizona. Eli Manning came of age as a quarterback, finding his control and not giving up the turnovers that plagued the start of his career. His maturation gave him the Super Bowl MVP in the 17-14 victory. The defense built on a relentless pass rush helped dismantle the pocket regularly to disrupt Tom Brady after his record setting season. Giants playoff tickets shocked just about everyone in the nation with the Lombardi Trophy heading to New York and not Boston.

This year the Giants lost key defensive players to free agency and retirement, but enough of the squad remains intact and enough talent has been ready to blossom to create the pass rush that has become all the rage after years of the cover-2 dominating the defensive side of the ball. Justin Tuck must make good on his promise to replace Michael Strahan and James Butler must step up and perform brilliantly in the safety spot left by Gibril Wilson. The deep postseason run with Giants will depend on the ability of these new defensive starters to fill in for those departed stars.

The offense comes back much the same, but without Jeremy Shockey. Whether the outspoken tight end was more of a distraction than his talent justified is up for debate, but the fact that the Giants went deep into the playoffs without the oft-injured player encouraged the team to get rid of him. Kevin Boss takes his place. Still fans can feel pretty good about playoff tickets with Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, and Brandon Jacobs back moving the ball closer and close to the pylons. The chances for another deep playoff run this season looks pretty good even though the team still ahs its doubters around the NFL.
