2012 New York Giants Team Photo The 2012 Giants finished 9-7 and in second place in the NFC East. It was the eighth consecutive season in which the Giants finished .500 or better, their longest such streak since played 10 seasons in a row without a losing record from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they had done hat since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3).

2011 New York Giants Team PhotoThe Giants rose up and concluded the season with one of the most inspiring and memorable runs in the 87-year history of the franchise, one that ended with a victory over New England in Super Bowl XLVI - their second championship in five seasons. The surge began with a Dec. 24 victory over the Jets in which the Giants were the visiting team. Eight days later, the Giants routed Dallas in a winner-take-all showdown for the NFC East title. The Giants finished 9-7 and became the first team to win the division with fewer than 10 wins since the 1970 merger.

2010 New York Giants Team PhotoPlaying their 86th season, the Giants moved into a beautiful new home, New Meadowlands Stadium, which is located just a few yards away from where Giants Stadium, their home from 1976-2009, once stood. The Giants were 10-6, one of a record-tying 13 teams to finish with double-digit victories. They finished the season with the same record as the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles, the same record as the eventual Super Bowl XLV champion Green Bay Packers and the same record as the 2007 Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII. But ultimately, the season did not meet their expectations because the Giants did not make the playoffs. Two losses to the Eagles and another to the Packers in the final seven weeks of the season first cost the Giants the NFC East title and then an opportunity to participate in the postseason. The Giants lost the NFC's last postseason berth on a tiebreaker.

2009 New York Giants Team PhotoPlaying their 34th and final season in Giants Stadium, they hoped to win their second consecutive NFC East title and extended their franchise record with a fifth consecutive postseason berth. The journey began smoothly, as the Giants won their first five games. But they soon took a wrong turn, veered completely off course and ultimately hit a dead end. The Giants won just three times after that burst from the gate and finished with an 8-8 record and in third place in the division. They finished out of the playoffs for the first time since Tom Coughlin's inaugural season as head coach in 2004.

2008 New York Giants Team Photo When the 2008 NFL season began, the Giants had the Vince Lombardi Trophy on display in their lobby and legions of skeptics and doubters who were convinced they had won it more through luck and timing than skill. A popular refrain was that the Giants had simply become a hot team at the right time in the 2007 playoffs. For evidence, the disbelievers cited the Giants' stirring Super Bowl XLII victory over the previously-undefeated New England Patriots. When it was time to make predictions for the 2008 season, most prognosticators placed the Giants second or third in the NFC East. But the Giants proved them all wrong. No, they didn't win another Super Bowl. But they did capture the division title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. They started the season 11-1 and winning 12 regular season games, they became only the fifth defending Super Bowl champion to win more games the season following a championship than the year before.

2007 New York Giants Team Photo The 2007 season was one of the most successful, rewarding and memorable in franchise history. The Giants stumbled to a 0-2 start - then fell behind by two touchdowns at halftime of their third game - before beginning a remarkable turnaround. They rallied to win that game, 14 of their next 18 and concluded the season with an exhilarating and unforgettable 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. It was one of the greatest upsets and most exciting championship games in the long history of the National Football League. Eli Manning threw the game-winning 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with just 35 seconds remaining, giving the Giants a victory over New England.

2006 New York Giants Team PhotoThe Giants finished 8-8 and earned their second consecutive postseason berth, the first time they accomplished that feat since 1989-90. The record was incongruously fashioned with a 3-5 home record and a 5-3 mark away from Giants Stadium. Tiki Barber ended his record-setting career by rushing for 1,662 yards and catching 58 passes. Eli Manning was tied for fourth in the NFL with 24 touchdown passes. Tight end Jeremy Shockey led the team with 66 receptions and was voted to the Pro Bowl for the fourth time in his five-year career. Plaxico Burress caught 10 touchdown passes, the most by a Giant in 26 years, and was right behind Shockey with 63 catches. Linemen Chris Snee, David Diehl, Shaun O'Hara and Kareem McKenzie played solidly while missing just two games among them. Defensively, middle linebacker Antonio Pierce led the Giants with 159 tackles and was selected to play in his first Pro Bowl.

2005 New York Giants Team PhotoThe 2005 season was marked by soaring success and searing tragedy. The Giants finished 11-5 and earned their first playoff berth since 2002 and their first NFC East title championship since 2000 before losing an NFC Wild Card Game to Carolina, 23-0. But the Giants' beloved owners, Wellington Mara and Bob Tisch, passed away within three weeks of each other, both from cancer. Mara, an NFL patriarch who was one of the most respected and influential figures in league history, and who had been with the Giants for their entire 81-year history, died on Oct. 25. Tisch, who purchased 50 percent of the franchise in 1991, was a business titan, renowned philanthropist and nonpareil New York City mover and shaker, died on Nov. 15. The Giants were only the fifth team in NFL history to have five different players score at least seven touchdowns. Tiki Barber scored 11, and Jeremy Shockey, Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer and Brandon Jacobs scored seven apiece.

2004 New York Giants Team PhotoA new era dawned in Giants Stadium in 2004 with the arrival of Tom Coughlin as the franchise's 16th head coach. The revamped Giants started 5-2, but lost eight consecutive games before winning the season finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants finished in second place in the NFC East at 6-10. RB Tiki Barber set four team records and was selected to his first Pro Bowl. He finished first in the NFL with a Giants-record 2,096 yards from scrimmage. Barber was fifth in the league with a team-record 1,518 rushing yards, two more than Joe Morris' total in 1986. Barber tied a career high by averaging 4.7 yards a carry. Barber rushed for at least 100 yards in nine games, breaking the team's previous single-season record of eight, set by Morris in 1986. Barber finished the season with 6,927 career rushing yards, eclipsing Hampton's former team record of 6,897. Willie Ponder's averaged an NFL-best 26.9 yards on kickoff returns.

2003 New York Giants Team PhotoThe Giants lost their last eight games to finished 4-12. Michael Strahan led the NFL with 18.5 sacks, the second-highest total of his career, and became the first Giant to twice lead the league in sacks. For the second consecutive year, Strahan and tight end Jeremy Shockey were the only Giants selected to the Pro Bowl. Shockey became the first Giant to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons since Lawrence Taylor in 1981-82. Tiki Barber had team-high totals of 1,216 rushing yards and 69 receptions. He became the first Giant to lead the team in both rushing and receptions since Joe Dawkins in 1974. Amani Toomer extended his team record with his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. QBs Kerry Collins and Jesse Palmer combined to throw a franchise-record 616 passes. Right guard David Diehl became the first Giants rookie to start all 16 games since Mark Bavaro in 1985. The team announced Jim Fassel would not return.

2001 New York Giants Team PhotoAfter a 3-1 start, the Giants lost eight of their last 12 games to finish 7-9 and in third place in the NFC East. The terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on Sept. 11 - the day after the Giants lost their Monday night opener in Denver - made the rest of season a minor footnote by comparison. After the attacks, many players reached out to victims' families, firefighters, police officers and other rescue workers and their children. Michael Strahan set a NFL single-season record with 22.5 sacks. Kerry Collins became the first quarterback in league history to throw every one of his team's passes in two consecutive seasons. Collins set team marks for passes (568) and completions (327). Tiki Barber accounted for 1,782 total yards, Mike Barrow had 135 tackles, Morten Andersen became the second-leading scorer in NFL history, Howard Cross set a new franchise record for games played (207), Amani Toomer caught more than 70 passes.

2000 New York Giants Team PhotoThe Giants won the NFC East and home-field advantage in the playoffs with a 12-4 record before defeating Philadelphia and Minnesota (41-0) to advance to Super Bowl XXXV. In their first Super Bowl appearance in 10 years, the Giants lost to Baltimore, 34-7. The Giants took a seven-game winning streak into the Super Bowl, a surge that began after Jim Fassel issued his now-famous playoff guarantee on Nov. 22. The Giants finished 7-1 in the division and 7-1 away from Giants Stadium. QB Kerry Collins set career highs in passes (529), completions (311), completion percentage (58.8) and touchdown passes (22). HB Tiki Barber set a Giants record with 2,085 all-purpose yards (1,006 rushing, 719 receiving, 332 punt returns and 28 on kickoff returns).

QB Kerry Collins started the final six games of the season after replacing Kent Graham in the lineup following the 10th game.

1998 New York Giants Team PhotoThe Giants won five of their last six games to finish 8-8. The highlight was a 20-16 victory over the 13-0 and eventual Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos.

With a 7-0-1 division record, the Giants were the first team to go undefeated in NFC East play. Second-year pro Danny Kanell took over for an injured Dave Brown and was 7-2-1 as the starting quarterback. The Giants' was one of the NFL's best, finishing first with a franchise-record 44 takeaways, including a league-high 27 interceptions. The season ended when the Minnesota Vikings overcame a 19-3 second-half deficit to pull out a 23-22 victory in Giants Stadium in a wild card game.

Reeves was selected NFL Coach of the Year by several organizations. The Giants defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Giants Stadium in the NFC Wild Card Game, 17-10, as Rodney Hampton rushed for 161 yards. But they lost the next week in San Francisco, 44-3, which was the final game in the careers of both Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor.

1992 New York Giants Team Photo The Giants struggled through a 6–10 season as injuries to key players hurt the team. Phil Simms started the first four games before an elbow injury forced him to miss the rest of the season. Jeff Hostetler started the next nine games before being forced to the sidelines with a concussion. In the ninth game of the season against Green Bay, Lawrence Taylor injured his Achilles tendon and was lost for the season.

But an upset loss to the Jets cost them a playoff berth. Their 10-6 record gave them a five-year mark of 54-32 (.628), including postseason play, a franchise record for victories in a five-year span.
