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.
  • CAPTION CONTEST: Don't forget to get your entries in to bigblueview@gmail.com. I only have a handful so far, so if you have a creative idea you have a good shot at winning TC's book.
  • Here are the updated Giants' statistics.
