Giants Vs. Packers Playoff Open Game Thread

PrintThe final of the four divisional playoff games is here. The red-hot New York Giants face an equally hot Packers team. The difference is that the Packers have been off with the bye and Aaron Rodgers has not played in three weeks.
Can Eli Manning pull of the unthinkable and knock off the "best team in football" like he and the Giants did in 2007 when they beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl? Personally, I think it will happen. But that is why they actually play the game.
Jump on in while you watch the game. Hopefully it is a good one.

Good thing the Packers don't have a pass rush
If they did, they would be unbeatable

Although I didn't mind the 49ers winning yesterday
I will lose my mind if they win the Super Bowl.
It will just make all of their fans even more unbearable to talk to.
I would like to see the Ravens in there though.

I'm still calling for the Packers to win. The 1st half was a fluke IMO.

How was that a fluke though?
They even got lucky with that fumble that wasn’t (according to the refs)

It's a fluke because the Giants played their A game and got gifted a Hail Mary to end the half. And the Packers played like absolute shit.
And I don’t want to hear that the Gmen have been playing so good lately because the Packers have played that way since the start of the season. I hate both teams equally it’s more of a match up problem for me. What I mean is that I think the Packers would’ve matched up better against the ’9er’s and now they get the Gmen which IMO don’t match up well. So… Ultimately I see the ’9er’s in the SB which absolutely disgusts me.

It is a fluke that the Packers aren't down 20-3

The Gmen aren't that good ... they've just been extremely fortunate just like the '9er's.

If your leading rusher is the Quarterback
And that QB isn’t Vick, Tebow or Newton, then that is freaking embarrassing.

Love watching the Packers crash and burn
Just as I loved watching the Steelers crash and burn last week. It’ll be three straight weeks of happy if the same thing happens to the Niners next week.
Should really be 37-6 right now
Both of the Packers TDs came on Drives where the Refs bailed them out with horrible calls

Well the Giants pulled it out. These playoffs have sucked IMO because it's setting up for either the damn '9er's or the 8-8 Giants winning it all.
The Giants suck and if not for the Cruz non-fumble at least according to refs the Giants would be at home. So it’s one of 4 to win the SB … God hopefully the Ravens win! The rest can suck a bag of dicks.
"The point is, by my standards, I won fair and square."
-Bender
Will be pulling for the AFC no matter what
Sucks that the Niners are in the championship game and they have it at home, no less. But the Packers simply did not deserve to win today.
Trust me I hate both the Giants and the Packers but I think the Packers give the '9er's a loss but the Giants not so much.
I just hope the Giants beat the ’9er’s now that their on their “hot streak.” If the ’9er’s win the SB I’m going to buy a ’9er’s flag and use it as a liner for my wifes cats shit box.
"The point is, by my standards, I won fair and square."
-Bender
I think the Giants can take 'em
The Saints defense is garbage, that’s why Drew Brees has to throw for 500 yards and 5 TDs every game. The Giants, at least when they chose to, have a far better defense. I doubt Alex Smith looks like a superhero next week.
Of course I hate the Giants too, but they are the lesser of two evils.
Finally a pick by Rodgers
Love it

Rodgers' post season QB rating went down from 112.6 to 104.3 after this game
My wish has been granted.
Warner is 3rd all time with that stat at 102.4 by the way behind Starr and Rodgers. Brees is the only other person above 100.

I wouldn't mind if Rodgers' postseason QB rating stayed at 104.3 lifetime
If it is because he never makes the postseason again. (Not due to injury though, just due to the Packers sucking.)
I wouldn't mind him going one more time, than having a complete meltdown of a game
Even worse than this one.
