And Aaron Rodgers goes out suffering from Brett Favre disease — his last pass is … wait for it … INTERCEPTED.

Eli Manning takes a knee, and the New York football Giants advance to the NFC title game, 37-20.

Keep in mind, the Giants just beat the team with the worst ranked defense in the entire NFL. Their next game won’t be so as easy as this one.

Supposedly the Giants secondary was horrible....they sure got better in a hurry....of course having the most dominant defensive front in the NFL sure helps.

That loss to Kansas City foreshadowed what was to come. It was a bad loss, and really showed that Green Bay was vulnerable.

No matter what, don’t ever get rid of Coughlin. It may not be pretty all the time with him, but there’s no better coach this time of year.

We both called this one yesterday!!....(I actually called it even before the Giants beat Atlanta ;-). The Giants are a great road team, strong in the trenches on both sides and like you said peaking at the right time which seems to be the most important thing these days in professional sports.
Next week's NFC title game should be a great and refreshing matchup between two old school style smashmouth teams that actually know how to play defense. I like the Giants and the Patriots to advance to the big game with the Giants taking it all.

I expected a closer game.

Happy for the Giant fans.

Giants are set up to win it all. They already beat the Pats this year, and they are peaking at the right time.

We're ready. Beating the Giants in XLVI would rid NE of the third demon. They beat the "home playoff losing streak" demon last night; Beating the Baltimore inmates would dispatch the team that started that streak; evening the score with NYG would be the ultimate! None of it easy, none of it foregone, but I'd be a happy lad.

Can't believe that this was a 15-1 team we saw at Lambeau today. The cheeseheads in the stadium were dejected. With five minutes left in the game, they were headed for the exits in droves. No doubt all the trash barrels out in the parking lot are overflowing with discarded foam blocks resembling swiss cheese.

The key will be the defense for New England, they’ve been much better recently, but can they keep it up.

They earned and will be formidable for the Niners next wk. Looking forward to it.=Deja vu all over again with the run and all, but I think they're ahead of the last SB team talent-wise.

Good call this time, Gator

That’s a mess...trying to go back to Firefox from Opera and it keeps locking up and generally acting screwy when I pull up the reply box.

No, they need them for the ride home; it doubles as a sponge to soak up the tears.

Go Giants!

“Keep in mind, the Giants just beat the team with the worst “defense in the entire NFL. Their next game won’t be so as easy as this one.”

Green Bay’s problem wasn’t their defense; it was the turnovers of their offense. Whatever ranking talking heads give these teams, there are some intangibles that got them this far. The Saints didn’t have great defense, but their offense cost them yesterday’s game as well. In both cases, I don’t fault the quarterbacks; Brees & Rodgers played great games with little help.
