This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.

When the game just ended! It was very unexpected. Last time I didn’t cry until I got the DVD lol.

This one's for you ^
Manning quote:
“Offensively we played very well and played smart. In the fourth quarter, it was a situation we’ve been in before. It was one of those situations where we knew we had to score, and the guys stepped up and made some [big] plays.’’

But NONE since he has become the focal point of the team (not completely his fault).

And he has the best F.U. mode since Michael Jordan. He may be smug and douchey and too pretty but he’s also one of the best QBs in NFL history.

also 87 and 91 can be explained
87 – Mara did not prepare of the strike and the team suffered.
91 – Ray Handley, that is all.

Glocks don't have safeties
It is true, Glocks have no safeties at all. So the Giants need to make sure all the players at least have Sigs which have a harder trigger pull for the first shot at least. That way the gun just falls out the bottom of their sweat pants instead of shooting them.
I'm not sure that is entirely accurate.
I seem to recall firing a glock at a range and having to release the safety….
by NYStateofMind on Feb 6, 2012 12:50 PM EST up reply actions
This might be what you saw?
In 2003, Glock announced the Internal Locking System (ILS) safety feature. The ILS is a manually activated lock that is located in the back of the pistol’s grip. It is cylindrical in design and, according to Glock, each key is unique. When activated, the lock causes a tab to protrude from the rear of the grip giving both a visual and tactile indication as to whether the lock is engaged or not. When activated, the ILS renders the Glock unfireable as well as making it impossible to disassemble. When disengaged, the ILS adds no further safety mechanisms to the Glock pistol. The ILS is available as an option on most Glock pistols. Glock pistols cannot be retrofitted to accommodate the ILS. The lock must be factory built in Austria and shipped as a special order.
HMMMMM ++++
86 and 90 were Parcell’s 4th and 8th years with the team.
07 and 11 were TC’s 4th and 8th year with the team.
Great shots.......
Great to be a NEW YORK GIANTS fan
I love it
if someone told me this would happen back in August/September I would have suggested that they be fitted for a straitjacket
great day to be a Giants fan!!
partying tonight again and parade tomorrow!
I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee fan.

congrats man!
a new generation of fans! They’ll never have to say the GMen didn’t win one in our lifetime. May they (heck, us too!) see many, many more!
My wife is an Eagles fan
After the game she said “I wish I could feel the way you and your friends feel”. I told her it is never to late to embrace Eli and the Gmen. Hopefully this will solidify my son as a Giants fan.

Great Stuff!
I was 10 14- and since my birthday is Feb 1 and the league moved the SB to Feb- I was 32 and 36 for the last 2.
This one I witnessed with my 3 week old Daughter who is defintiely a good luck charm!
witnessed SB wins
at age 7, 11, 28, and 32
My oldest was 3 for the the 07 super bowl win, 2nd was 9 months
This SB I got to watch it with my 7, 4, 2, and 2 months old sons along with my dad and some Giants fan friends here in Giants hating San Diego. Lots of fun.
Nicely done!
12, 16, 33 and 37 here. Had my 3 year old daughter leading the Let’s Go Giants (clap clap clapclapclap) in a room full of Giants fans. Awesome memories of this one!
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!
Awesome!
You kids are lucky to have you! I’m thrilled my dad drove almost 400 miles to watch this one with me.

I can relate...
they have seen me gone thru so many mood swings with this team, they were just happy to see me so happy
Funny
I bawled after Super Bowl 42. The build up, the mystique, the perfect season, etc…too overwhelming. This one, I felt confident from the start. The game didn’t go the way I expected, but the result was, so I didn’t shed a tear…until the post-game interviews.

I loved this line from Yahoo.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ycn-10929675
Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees have unequivocal ownership over the “elite quarterback” label, yet none have won more Super Bowls than Manning since 2008. Were I Manning, I’d say, “Keep the label, resume making Pro Bowl appearances and please, please exclude me from your exclusive club. I’ve taken a liking to collecting shiny objects in early February.”
Thtat's great

I’m waiting for the Maytag guy to show up to fix this washing machine. He is late and I’m reminded of the commercials where the Maytag man has nothing to do so he is bored at a desk…he should be here.
I can sue them for everything they’ve got, right? He is like 4 minutes late.

As the season went on you just gained the confidence that he is going get the job done. Seem like he does very well under pressure. After that beating he took from the Niners, I have great respect for this guy. My ELITE QB
I found myself shaking as the ball landed in the end zone at the end of the game last night.

if that has any significance it might be 50

it all probably means nothing
but considering how young this team is, our franchise QB is in his prime and we’re definitely not gonna have a post-SB team ravaged by free agency, I think the window is still gonna be there.
It could be SB 63 for all anyone knows of course.

A Great year
The Giants won the 46th Super Bowl
With it a Lombardi trophy to hold.
An accomplishment seemingly impossible once.
But, soon after, all the teams that show up get trounce.
Being a fan, I’m as ecstatic as the team.
This elated feeling is like a dream.
