Which 3 teams do you most look forward to seeing the Giants play?  Why?
SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Ed Vette

It used to be rivalries and big games. Now it's against beatable teams. 😂
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

The problem is
Do the other teams know we are their rivals?

T200

We have no more rivals. They've been kicking our asses for the past decade.

Forget Rivals....can we get someone to take Jones off our hands.
Maybe Jerry Jones can take Jones...keeping it within the Jones

or send Jones to Philly

Once that is accomplished I'll worry about rivals

We are just a punching bag at this point

Can't we cover his salary for the year in return for a pick?

Dear Lord, can't anyone, in the New York tradition, answer this question without getting cheeky?

I love watching the Giants play historical rivals. Giants - Bears is one of my absolute favorites to scratch that itch. This ancient rivalry is almost as old as the league itself and you can almost see the ghosts of "Papa Bear" George Halas, Timothy Mara, Steve Owen, Bronko Nagurski, Mel Hein, Red Grange and Jim Thorpe in attendance every time these two old war horses engage in battle.

When both are playing competitively on relatively equal footing, the excitement builds every time the Giants and 49ers play. Their history needs no rehashing. It is always a great contest when these two are fighting for supremacy in the NFC and the memories they've created will last a lifetime. For now, they will have to do until the Giants become competitive once again.

My third favorite matchup is from the AFC and marks a historical tradition with the Giants. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Giants and Steelers are closely aligned in terms of their philosophy of family ownership tradition, share many of the same team values and both primary owners (i.e. the Rooneys and the Maras) are close allies in the grand fabric of the NFL. That they only play each other once every four years makes their meetings all the more special and anticipated dates on the football calendar.

To recap, my top three Giants matchups are:

1. Chicago Bears
2. San Frrancisco 49ers
3. Pittsburgh Steelers

Peace!


"Dave Jennings was one of the all-time great Giants. He was a valued member of the Giants family for more than 30 years as a player and a broadcaster, and we were thrilled to include him in our Ring of Honor. We will miss him dearly." (John Mara)

Our three divisional opponents, for the obvious reasons.

Fourth would be the Jets for me (also for fairly obvious reasons).

When not trying to be funny...

Dallas and Philly are tied for #1.

49ers are the 3rd team.  8 playoffs games over the last 41 seasons.  Teams are 4-4.

I also believe who we may consider a big rivalry, it takes 2 to tango. In our good years I would say Washington.
But Dallas? Do they consider it a big rivalry when they kick our butts Everytime we play them?
If I had to pick just one it is
Giants/Washington
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.

Philly and Dallas go without saying, but beyond them I also despise the Bears, Packers and Jets.

2007 stands out because we beat all of them on our way to that Super Bowl. Doesn't get any better.  <:-P
