I understand the importance of being level headed about most things in life. But no one on this board has any direct impact whatsoever on how this team plays on Sunday. So I really don't get the whole "let's just focus on the Giants" theme. Great idea for the players, doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense for fans.

Stats are a good indicator of what a fan can hope for. There's a reason that million dollar decisions are made every day based on little more than statistics. So I don't agree with the notion of "stats don't mean anything." If someone can look back at the past 10 years and say that 70% of the teams that start the season with 2 wins go on to the playoffs, that's a good thing. It's not a guarantee of success, it's a positive indicator. Period.

If a few people here want to talk about playoffs after only 12.5% of the regular season, I don't see a problem with it so long as there is not 5 different threads cluttering up the board. Yes, the discussion is premature right now, but I think that as fans of a team that hasn't been all that great recently we're entitled to a little dreaming after a big win over the defending div. champs.

off the soap box now...
