-24 on the field tonight.
It is warmer in Barrow Alaska right now. BBbbrrrrrr.
I’m no Packer fan and I don’t really care about the Giants one way or another, but the G-men need to request those same refs for the Superbowl. It’ll increase their chances a bit. LOL
YAY GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Packer fan will give credit where credit it due. The Giants were the best team on the field tonight. The Packers Offense couldn’t get in groove and they had no answer for Ahmad Bradshaw and Plaxico Burress. The Packers didn’t play their best, but they didn’t want it, the Giants wanted it more.
Once the temp numbers turn negative, it stops being about measuring and starts being about attitude.
When it passes 0 and gets to -, it’s negative alright. Nothing’s funny when it’s that cold.
Two east coast teams in the Superbowl....boring.
It will be a coronation for the Pats
They were finally able to kick a field goal. They tried and tried to give it to Green Bay.
Tough loss for the Pack tonight, but their play calling was an atrocity. Three and out with six minutes to go on their own forty, and 30 seconds elapsed.
Not championship football, especially at home when its -4 degrees.
I don't think any of the teams that played in the conference championship games -- and that includes the undefeated Patriots -- would have been any better than 9-7 in the pre-salary cap days.
A Jets fan’s worst nightmare: A Giants-Patriots Super Bowl!

The Packers were aided by an assortment of phantom calls (like on the Bradshaw TD which was called back) and no-calls (like Webster being slung to the ground on the 1st Packer TD) or the non-review of the Burris catch just before the end of the first half. (I'm not sure which way the call would have gone, but he was clearly touched down at the four yard line and then the ball came out. At some point that play has to be over.) And there were two at least questionable drive sustaining penalties called against the Giants when the Packers had 3rd and longs. It's true that the Giants got a penalty call on a play where there was an interception, but the foul was the reason for the interception.
Is this your first year watching pro-football?

Look for more Peyton-Eli commercials; or is that more Eli-Peyton commercials?
That's up to the Giants.
They were tough the last time, just not tough enough.
The question is: do the Giants want to be the team that gave the Pats BOTH the 16-0 perfect regular season AND the 19-0 clean sweep?
And do they want to become a 2-2 Super Bowl team?
LOL. Why do so many people resort to insults when a reasonable discussion will do?
“Look for more Peyton-Eli commercials; or is that more Eli-Peyton commercials?”
Nooooo! Well, Eli I wouldn’t mind. Don’t see him too much. Peyton, on the other hand...enough! LOL
You’re always harping on that 9-7 thing and really it’s to your detriment. you always lose sight of the fact that most of the teams in the pre-cap era actually sucked eggs. Everybody thinks about the mighty days of the Niners and the Cowboys and the Giants and the Skins and talks about how great the games were. Everybody forgets about the Bay of Pigs games, the general suckiness of the entire AFC, the NFC Central, and most of the NFC west. Sure when the GOOD teams played each other there was some great football, but there were never more than 3 or 4 of them throughout the 80s. Power flocked to the big market teams with the fat cash.
Frankly all 4 of these teams could have won the AFC in the time of NFC dominance, where of course they’d have gotten their asses handed to them in the SB just like all the other AFC teams. But they would have done better than 9-7. And you missed some of the BEST playoff football that’s been played. It’s sad that you’re not a fan anymore, but that’s really your fault, not the league’s. The game is better now than it was back then, the more good teams, there are more contested games, there are no more boring assed super teams whopping the crap out of the league.
Spoken like a true L O S E R ! 9-7??? You are an I D I O T too!
