THE FULL LIST

The ones we care about...

1986 Giants - 8th

For those of you who think we have this team ranked too high, we offer five words: Lawrence Taylor in his prime. Taylor, who "changed the way defense is played," according to John Madden, recorded a career-high 20½ sacks and was named NFL MVP. The Giants' closest playoff victory was 17 points, in a shutout over the Redskins. Offensively, Phil Simms didn't have a good season statistically, throwing more interceptions than touchdown passes. But Simms played well on the biggest stage, setting a Super Bowl record by completing 88 percent of his passes. Joe Morris topped the 1,300-yard mark in rushing for the second consecutive season, and Mark Bavaro went for career highs in catches and receiving yards. We'll spare you the hyperbole about brainpower, but don't forget Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick were on the same staff here.

1990 Giants - 33rd

We can already hear the uproar from Gotham over this one. Yes, we're ranking a 13-3 Bill Parcells-coached team that beat a strong Bills squad in the Super Bowl this low. But there's no way around the facts. This team finished in the bottom half of the NFL in points scored and won the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl by a combined three points. Its leading rusher, Ottis Anderson, didn't approach the 1,000-yard mark, and none of its wide receivers caught 30 passes. It started a relatively green Jeff Hostetler as its postseason quarterback and ultimately relied on the errant foot of Scott Norwood to secure its championship. How did the Giants win? They didn't make mistakes, committing just 14 turnovers -- the fewest since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.

2000 Giants - 78th

A completely uninspiring and forgettable team, which got crushed in a completely uninspiring and forgettable Super Bowl. (Wait, Jim Fassel coached in a Super Bowl? Kerry Collins took every snap for a Super Bowl team?) Nonetheless, the Giants did win the NFC (beating the Vikings 41-0 in the NFC title game when Minnesota essentially quit). The Giants were strong on D, especially against the run (allowing just 3.2 yards per carry) and did beat the Eagles three times, but won a weak conference and lacked star power (only two Pro Bowlers). Did we mention Jim Fassel was the coach?
