However, New York’s social crew wasn’t the one one able to unleash glorious memes, gifs, and different reactions throughout and within the fast aftermath of the Giants’ victory. In spite of everything, it’s been greater than a decade since Massive Blue final received a playoff sport, and this was the primary time they returned to the postseason for the reason that notorious boat journey in January 2017.
Years of frustration and pent-up feelings had been set free over the course of those 4 quarters. In case you had been questioning, the web stays undefeated with the kind of content material I discovered on the Twitter machine. Among the finest/funniest ones I got here throughout are beneath.
As a disclaimer, a number of have some salty language. When you’re within the workplace, seize your headphones. When you’re at dwelling with kiddos, go discover a quiet place to “work” so you possibly can absolutely take pleasure in this.

It’s been a very long time since Giants followers have had legit causes to really feel happy with their crew. Jones, Barkley, Daboll, and Co. have offered many all through this season. This playoff victory takes the cake, although.
Bask within the glory that’s advancing within the playoffs, Giants followers. It’s a enjoyable feeling, and as we’ve seen, it may be fairly an elusive one. Then, the main target can flip to the Philadelphia Eagles. And one other upset isn’t out of the realm of risk, both.
Once more, that’s why they play the sport. New York and Philly will do exactly that subsequent weekend.
