I don’t agree that Green Bay is the better team. They had the better record in the regular season, but the Giants are getting better every week.

The 7.5 line on this week’s game suggests you’re fairly alone in that belief. :)

The score and statistics of the game say I’m right. :)

YES!!! NICKS!

Contrai · 2012-01-15T15:10:21.000Z

What an amazing catch by Nicks!

I’m not seeing how the Packers are so much better than the Giants.

Wow! The Packers D just got merked in 48 seconds.

Lorini · 2012-01-15T15:14:17.000Z

Anybody seen GB’s offense? Or even a GB caught ball?

That Lambeau turf has caught half of Rodgers passes.

Probably shouldn’t have rested Rodgers. He still hasn’t shaken off the rust.

Fuckin’ A Uncle Larry!

The Giants are scary once they get that “Eli heaves it up and his receivers magically come down with it” thing going, and their pass rush has been heating up for the last five weeks. Eli is the anti-Peyton, he just throws the damn ball where he hopes a guy will be, usually on a high trajectory, screw all that timing and precision that Peyton uses.

If the Packers had a decent defense they would be winning right now, but they are cover your eyes awful. Not saying they can’t go all crazy and explode for tons of points before this is over, but it is going pretty much the way I expected so far.

If they had a decent offense, they would be winning right now. You can’t win when your QB is your leading rusher in between throwing balls into the ground, and receivers drop the balls that do hit them.

What is that now? 5 first downs on Rodgers legs?

Maybe, but he’s no Tebow or Alex Smith. Those guys are winners!

Man, it’s amazing how many balls the Packers have dropped today.

Woolen_Horde · 2012-01-15T16:24:12.000Z

Wow, that’s a fumble. And that could very well be the dagger.

robsam · 2012-01-15T16:24:50.000Z

OH HELL YES

Woolen_Horde · 2012-01-15T16:24:51.000Z

TD Manning to Manningham. And now NY is up 17 with 7 minutes left.

sluggo · 2012-01-15T16:25:17.000Z

THIS IS HAPPENING

Lorini · 2012-01-15T16:25:44.000Z

It’s ovah. Can’t believe all the GB turnovers.

Durns · 2012-01-15T16:25:46.000Z

Kenny Phillips! Great knockout, and run fat boy run!
