championship!
Our 2nd and 3rd stringers aren't as bad as other teams so far

I don't put too much stock into it other than to say it is better to win than lose I guess.

I really want to see Nassib start next week and continue to develop. I also want to see what kind of OL actually plays because we have really been pounded with injuries. Will OT Brown and OG Jerry be back?

Last, would love to see our young TE's used a lot so we get a feel for their receiving abilities.
Sucks? No.

Is the record as useless as this thread? Ah yup.

In their historic 0-16 season, the lions were 4-0 in the meaningless preseason games.
The Giants ones got outplayed

Preseason records mean nothing I'm sure you know. But it is true that it would suggest the teams second line players who will eventually have to step up and play due to injury may be better then the oppositions is an encouraging sign.

Other then that there are many examples of teams losing most or all of their preseason games and go on to have stellar seasons. Of course if you are an Eagles fan they just bought their tickets to the Super Bowl after beating the Steelers the other night. Now if you want to hear irrational fans tune into Philly sports talk radio.
Giants were 6-0 in the preseason

in either 73 or 74. I think 73. They went on to 2-11-1 and 2-12 records in those season.

I remember those days well. I think in one of those two years I'm not sure which one they beat the Packers on opening day and you want to talk about being excited as a fan. Then someone reminded me the Packers weren't the Packers anymore if you know what I mean. The rest of the season of course went down the tubes.
Nassib

Steve: Did you have to bring up those dark days?

I guess I was fortunate because I was stuck in Green River, Wyoming at that time in the days before extensive cable and satellite TV. It was Denver Broncos or nothing.

So basically, our third string guys that aren't making the team are better than other teams' third string guys that aren't making the team.

Our starters look awful. This looks like a 2-3 win team to me so far this preseason.
The Lions went 4-0

before their winless season ... we can go 5-0 before ours ...

has parlayed all 4 games and has won more money than most make in a year
HH, not yet  
Stan from LA : 8/23/2014 11:33 am : link
It was all 5 games. 1 to go and I can buy the Buffalo Bills.
Our starters didn't look awful last night  
djm : 8/23/2014 12:15 pm : link
Not in the least.. Not that it matters that much but I thought the starters provided some reason for optimism. Wel see in a few weeks.
I'm rooting for you Stan  
Headhunter : 8/23/2014 12:16 pm : link
but you know that
Winning is always better than losing  
PEEJ : 8/23/2014 12:21 pm : link
Especially coming back late in games. It builds confidence.
Thanks, HH, I just recalculated and  
Stan from LA : 8/23/2014 12:21 pm : link
If I win next week I will actually have more money than God.
This has been a great preseason  
WideRight : 8/23/2014 2:06 pm : link
BBI is as pessimistic as ever, and all the Giants do is keep winning.
4-0 means little  
sober297 : 8/23/2014 5:03 pm : link
I have the Giants finishing the regular season at 4 - 8- 4.
