Screw you, Mr. Tynes! :smack:
Now, I’m thinking he won’t. Props to the Giants. I think they deserve it.
The football gods have rewarded the Giants for giving their all in that last game of the regular season against New England.
Maybe the rest of the league will finally notice that resting starters going into the playoffs is a recipe for an early exit.
I say this as a (mediocre) Packer fan - even if they had won, they didn’t deserve to.
14-4 is still a perty good season, esp considering most predictions were between 7-9 and 9-7

Okay, I gotta get this off my chest.
The Packers didn’t deserve to win tonight. They hardly tried.
Both of the winning teams can look forward to nicer weather in their next game, that’s for sure.

I was rooting for them (as a Bears fan, no less). But they completely played like shit. That last quarter and OT was brutal. I’m not a fan of sudden death overtime as it is, and the Packers had every advantage given to them, with the missed FG at the end, and winning the toss for the first possession in OT.
Actually, no, I do want to say the following, for posterity:
Ellis Dee, if you’re around somewhere, regarding a past disagreement:
I was wrong. You were right.
I’m not a Giants fan by any means, but I hope this stops that “The Lesser” Manning bullshit in its tracks.
Congrats to the Giants. They played better and deserved it.
And Eli…wow…impressed the hell out of me in all 3 of these playoff games. I always love watching young players turn the corner (no matter who they play for.)
Some very important facts to note in the next two weeks:
- The Giants will be unable to compete on the same level as the Patriots in Week 17.
- The Giants won’t be able to beat the Bucs in Tampa.
- Well, ok, but there’s no way the Giants can go into Texas Stadium and beat the Cowboys.
- Ok, ok, fine…but c’mon…they have no chance of winning in Lambau in those conditions.
So please, everyone who has been talking crap about Big Blue for the past month, please, please, please keep it up!
How fitting that the last play of Favre’s career might be a game-losing interception which prevents his team from going to the Superbowl.
Yeah, I cannot BELIEVE the crap people talk about their opponents! It’s unconscionable!
I’m not sure I’ve heard the “Lesser” Manning bullshit, so maybe I’m misunderstanding. Is there a coach in the league who would take Eli over Peyton?
I thought the Packers would prevail, but my hat’s off to Eli and the Giants - the better team won.
Some may scoff at their chances in the SB, but I don’t think the Pats will.
He’s coming back.
There’s no way he won’t. They have a good young team and you know he’ll want to be a part of it.
No, but in fairness there were people who were calling Eli a bust, saying he shouldn’t be a starter, saying he was another Ryan Leaf, etc. I was one of them. I was wrong. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Peyton play as gutty a game as Eli played tonight.
FUCK YEAH!
Not only did my team win, I bet a round of beers on the game with my Wisconsinite friend - and I’ll be getting drunk for free this Spring Break.
Watching a Giants game with my dad is always fun. He always starts to call the Giants “Yankees,” as in, “Man! The Yank-er, Giants - just fumbled!”
Congratulations to everybody who picked the Giants to represent the NFC in the Su… oh, wait, nobody thought this was coming. I sure didn’t. But I was pulling for the Giants in this game, for some reason, and since they Aren’t The Patriots, I’ll be rooting for them in the Super Bowl. Go Giants!
