The fact is, this has been as enjoyable a season as a Giants fan has been allowed to experience in forever.
Even the seasons preceding their most recent Super Bowl wins didn’t have a season quite like this one since they were tinged in disappointment and failed expectation and the near-firing of Tom Coughlin. Really, you have to go back to 1997, Jim Fassel’s first season, to experience a true innocent climb for Big Blue, a 10-5-1 stunner .
There have been others. The ’84 Mets, for sure. The ’93 Yankees. Last year’s Rangers were quintessential. The ’97 Jets, Bill Parcells first there, who went from 1-15 to 9-7 and the brink of the playoffs. The ’94 Devils. The 2001-02 Nets, when Jason Kidd slowly brought the greatest show in the league to North Jersey.
Some of those teams reached their sport’s highest high soon thereafter. Some fell short. But even the years that ended with a parade weren’t as carefree as the climb that preceded it.There is good reason to believe these Giants, the Schoen & Daboll Giants — — are bound for beautiful things over the next few years. They experienced a similar season four years ago in Buffalo, Josh Allen’s second season, when the Bills won 10 games and first started to understand how good they could be.
Bills fans have mostly had a blast in the years since. But it was just a little different that first time through. That can only happen once. “Innocence,” Pat Riley wrote 29 years ago, “is a positive choice made in the belief that the team can achieve something great.”
