New York Giants' notes, 10.08.08
Here is a Wednesday afternoon New York Giants notebook.
- SI.com's Don Banks is wondering if it is possible that the Giants and Tennessee Titans could go undefeated this season. I don't think there is any chance that will happen, and the Giants don't want to hear about it either.
"You want to win every game, but that's not very realistic,'' said Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, after New York's dismantling of Seattle. "It's only happened twice in the NFL, where teams went to the postseason undefeated. If we can go undefeated in the division, that could be the best undefeated record we could have.''
- Along the same lines, NFL.com has the skinny on how the Giants have done in each of the three seasons in which they have started 4-0. 1968 -- 7-7, missed the playoffs; 1989 -- finished 12-4, and lost in the NFC divisional playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams; 1990 -- started 10-0, finished 13-3, and went on to win Super Bowl XXV.
- Mike Dougherty of the Journal News says Plaxico Burress sounded a lot like Latrell Sprewell during Monday's press conference.
- Great column this morning by Johnette Howard of Newsday on the support Tom Coughlin has from players in the Giants' locker room. Even if Howard can't get Justin Tuck's first name right.

- Here are the updated Giants' statistics.

I saw that yesterday, thought about putting it up, and then said “No, you do that, and Ed is going to tell you that you are getting way ahead of yourself”, so I didn’t
And then you did.
Ed, you are getting way ahead of yourself. LOL
I can’t even imagine it happening. Ok I can, a little, but the thought doesn’t stay with me long.
I will say this: If it were to happen, it would be one of the great sports stories of all time, when you consider the level of competition the Giants are going to face in the 2nd half. Giants don’t have the luxury of facing the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills 6 times.
ok, see? The thoughts gone now.
Giants fan from the womb to the tomb

LOL!!
I put it up basically because Banks IS getting way ahead of himself. No chance it happens. I would still be thrilled with 11 wins. The schedule beginning with Pittsburgh is absolutely brutal. If the Giants go 5-5 in the last 10 games I wouldn’t be shocked.

No chance
NFC East is too tough. Just no chance. There’s just no way the GMen find a way to sweep Philly, Dallas, and Washington.
They just might, however, go undefeated out of conference. That I could believe.

I know it's not gonna happen
but how funny would it be if the Giants went 19-0 this year. Patriot fans would have a mass suicide…
