Seriously, I didn't think the Giants were as good as the pundits were praising them in the pre-season or as bad as they were Sunday Night. Dallas was up, had an axe to grind and really took it to us.
While I don't think 15-1 is realistic, I do think 10 wins are if they can get this O line nailed down a bit and escape the injury bug.
But to answer your question....15-1....I would be dancing and swigging champagne on New Years Eve thinking Super Bowl!
the oline would seriously need to gel. And another star would have to emerge on the offense to complement OBJ. Something on the caliber of Perkins turning into Adrian Peterson in his prime. Sorta like Cruz in 2011 but on an even higher level.
And of course the Defense keeps improving and avoids the injury bug.
Specifically, it means that whatever lineup the Giants put at O-line next week is THE UNIT. Suddenly, they can open holes consistently, and backs can regularly get 4+ypd. Eli gets all sorts of time, time needed not only to make plays but to HEAL from the PTSD 5 straight years of running for his life have caused.
The problem is, while we have seen O-line play dramatically improve at the beginning of a season - can anyone recall lousy O-line play dramatically improving mid-season? (Starters returning from injury doesn't count)

You rang?

If all that happens, we could easily get 15-1.
The O-line has a complete, dramatic turnaround.
