January 21, 200818 yr AL Harris should just give his game check to Plexico Burress since he isn't playing today.
January 21, 200818 yr Author NY has to have a better option than RW on punt returns. Hixon has had some good kick off returns. That was scary. Edited January 21, 200818 yr by Brian
January 21, 200818 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) The cold makes Coughlin look even older than he is. The way his face is all read, it looks like he has leprosy or something.
January 21, 200818 yr If the game is still tied after triple OT, are the Pats Superbowl champs by default?
January 21, 200818 yr Author I'm gonna vomit. Packers will win now. They have to. God hates me the past year as far as my sports.
January 21, 200818 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) Bull. San Diego covered the spread today. (and I know what you mean, but I'm of course just talking about actual betting, with the spread and all that fun stuff) Also, kickers are a lot like relief pitchers...they are the last thing on everyones priority list but usually the most notable deficiency at crunch time.
January 21, 200818 yr Author What does that say about the Packers that they couldn't win that game? No offense to the good Pack fans on here.
January 21, 200818 yr The Packers did everything in their power to give that game to the Giants and they would not take it. Guess nobody is in the mood to go to the Superbowl and get humiliated. Prediction: Pats 67, Giants 17.

NE will be favored huge, but Giants should be able to hang.
January 21, 200818 yr Author I posted that I didn't think the Giants were that good but they beat #1 seed and #2 seed. They obviously deserve it and showed me.

A little exaggeration, but I really don't the Pats have been showing us their best the last 4 weeks ... mainly because they really have not had to.
January 21, 200818 yr Giants won 3 playoff games on the road. You have to tip your hat to them. They're not explosive, and they don't blow teams out, but they hang tough, behind a solid running game and a good defense. And no mistakes from Eli either.
January 21, 200818 yr Author Get ready for "NY vs. Boston" on ESPN for the next 2 weeks. Edited January 21, 200818 yr by Brian
January 21, 200818 yr I'll say congrats to Strahan since he might be one of the rare players I like on that team.
January 21, 200818 yr QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 20, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) My prediction for NY Post headine tomorrow: "Third Tynes A Charm" That ran through my head before the kick.
January 21, 200818 yr That was the most aggravating game I have ever watched, we deserved to lose for how bad we played. Man immediately this game went to OT I flashed back to Seattle game, basically same thing happened but opposite way. Flag after flag called on the Packers defense, and yes for the most part they were good calls by refs. Stupid play calls, its like John Shoop was calling the damn plays, little 1 yard passes behind the line every possession, honestly, did they not figure out the giants were not falling for the screens, hell they hardly blitzed that game to even try a screen. Tom Brady please blow out the Giants in the super bowl, Ill feel much better, I just cant stand Eli ever since that stupid draft day trade he selfishly asked for. Feel free to ignore my ranting, feels like what Bears fans went through in the big game last year. I guess good news is Favre you would think won't leave on this note and should be back.

I was thinking the same thing and I posted it earlier. How many times do you have to fail with a screen before you decide it doesn't work. Does McCarthy know Ahman Green is gone? The only thing worse than play calling was Al Harris being taken to school.

The only thing worse than play calling was Al Harris being taken to school. Another thing offensively I noticed we hardly used that 5 receiver set which was almost unstoppable all year, seems like our coordinator was too worried about the blitz coming into this game which he had good reason to but our line faired well for the most part. Would have been nice to see more Ryan Grant at the start of the game almost like he didn't exist and we didn't really use him in the second half like Mccarthy said they would. Idk I can keep going which is kinda sad lol. Yeah Al Harris was awful, but then again we really had no depth behind him that it would have been worth subbing him out due to that leg injury he played through. Just looking ahead to the draft I really want that corner out of Iowa, Godfreys his name I think? I know hes a good bump and run corner. Edited January 21, 200818 yr by ChWRoCk2

People will say, they only allowed 23 points. But the Giants should have easily had over 30. You are right about the 5 receiver set. What happened to quick slants? The Giant secondary is beat up and the Pack never seemed to go after it. It almost felt like the fix was on with all the stupid oversights on the Packers part.

It almost felt like the fix was on with all the stupid oversights on the Packers part. The Giants had a great defense all year, you take out the first three weeks and they probably have one of the best defenses in the league, just took a while for Eli to come around really. I would agree with you, are defense was overrated, beyond our starters all we have backup wise is KGB and Rouse; who I actually felt has done better than Collins. Were rather thin which I hope we fix through the draft. All year we really had no big playmakers, Harris had something like one interception, Woodson I think 4 and beyond that nobody else really made big plays, we hardly forced fumbles, our tackling is what made our defense. You would wonder how we got by during the year, because Im sure we were one of the most penalized teams in the league. Eh Edited January 21, 200818 yr by ChWRoCk2
