Packers fans are already passing out by now. They'll need to get their second wind by sundown.

Thats ok Bobby
loved the pictures.
Now all I got to do is get Eli to step forward and do what he is capable of doing and that is to protect the ball.
I think Gibson will be mad at you if you continue to bump this thread anymore.
Please refrain from any further posting in this thread.
thanks
And go Giants !

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
Next to the famous "Ice Bowl," this figures to be the second-coldest playoff game in the 50-year history of Lambeau Field. When the game starts and the sun goes down, it could be below zero. The Packers have heating coils under the field and had a tarp over it this week, but you have wonder if there will be any traction for the New York pass rushers, who led the league with 53 sacks during the season. They must get to Brett Favre, who actually practiced with a frozen football during the week in order to get acclimated to the game's horrible chill.
Michael Strahan and the Giants D-line needs a strong pass rush.
The best match-up is RT Mark Tauscher versus Giants DE Michael Strahan, although the Packers won the regular-season battle when Favre didn't have a running game, namely ex-Giant Ryan Grant. The first game swung on a costly fourth-quarter lost fumble by rookie Ahmad Bradshaw, who has developed into a nifty weapon opposite the powerful Brandon Jacobs for the Giants.
New York's pass rush could be key because the secondary will be minus CB Kevin Dockery (hip flexor). Veteran CB Sam Madison (abdominal strain) will be a game-time decision, while talented rookie CB Aaron Ross will play with a shoulder brace, protecting his dislocated shoulder. The critical state of the New York secondary is a huge factor if Favre can throw to his talented young receivers like Greg Jennings, Donald Lee, James Jones and Koren Robinson to go along with veteran Donald Driver.
On the flip side, Packers center Scott Wells missed some practice time and he will have to deal with Justin Tuck, who had 10 sacks on the season. Also, LB Nick Barnett has a very sore hamstring that should slow him down. If Wells struggles, look for RG Jason Spitz to start at center and Tony Moll to replace him at guard. Giants QB Eli Manning has played with plenty of poise, especially against the blitz down the stretch. The story earlier in the season was that if you got his face and knocked him down early in the game, Eli would throw interceptions (20 on the season). He will have to continue to play smart and within himself for New York to have a chance.
CZAR'S SCOOP: Many fans don't know him, but Packers long-snapper Rob Davis, who has been with the team since it lost the Super Bowl to Denver, is considered one of the strongest leaders on the team by many of the young Packers. Unlike Favre, Davis is approachable.
There is definitely some bad blood between these two teams. There is video evidence that Giants center Shaun O'Hara delivered a forearm to the back of Aaron Kampman's head while he was on the ground in the first game. Kampman called the incident "real dirty," and it was noticed by Patriots safety Rodney Harrison when his team played the Giants. Granted, Harrison isn't considered a saint on the field, either.

"It's no secret," Harrison said. "(The Giants) push and they hit late. They come at you and try to take you out. That's the way they play."
O'Hara said there wasn't a penalty flag on the play, so it must have been OK. In the first game, Plaxico Burress hit Packers LB A.J. Hawk from behind after the second play of the game and teammate Brady Poppinga was flagged for a personal foul for retaliating against Burress.
"This is going to be the most physical game that any of us have ever played to this point," Burress said. "It is going to be physical even when guys are lying on the ground with guys taking cheap shots and things like that."
Mike McCarthy has fined CB Charles Woodson more than any other player on the team the past two seasons for being late to meetings, etc.

Thanks Bobby
Yeh I think if he had voted A it would have crushed me.
Uh I thought I asked you nice not to bump this thread again. At four pages Gibber is seriously going to have a cardiac arrest about this thread.
Overall the bashers have really been low key.
I hate distractions when I am trying to win the cash.
Hey Bobby , did you see my win in the boxing last night. This is pretty much a free play for me today. I like my chances.
Everyone slamming Favre. Its time for his old ass to get taken down a notch. If the unthinkable were to happen and Favre gets hurt, Green Bay is
fawked. Maybe he will pull a old groin muscle or get his knee twisted backwards by Straham.
Go Giants !
That's pretty funny actually...
I always used to think it was A, before I read somewhere (in either the main or political forum) that showed he was in his 40's or even 50's..can't quite remember...
...but anyway, from that moment on I figured Scott was just "special", and I probably shouldn't give him too much grief.

If this were bases I would certainly agree.Playing day after day and even just a day off and then another 3 or 4 straight I feel Mr. Mo. can go for a long ride.
Starting pitching and inferior opponents set up well for on the road streaks in MLB
NFL requires[for the most part] the same starting pitcher[QB] to perform at a high level week to week.Only a select few are capable.
However in the NFL w/several days in between games I feel it really hard to keep that Mo Edge.
Long winning[home/away/or both] streaks in the NFL involve superior talent..a few breaks..and yes a little luck.[ask the Pats]
IMHO the Giants do not have Superior talent.Not close actually..Especially on "D" in the secondary.
Give the Giants all the credit in the world.
But the deck it stacked extremely high against them today given the location/the opponent and the horrible weather.
I don't have the % in front of me but I would venture to guess that a breakdown of the actual % of teams in NFL HISTORY reaching 10 straight wins on the road are astronomically low.
It certainly isn't a spot where you would let it all ride even if you happened to jump on the streak at game say 5 or 6[that's a stretch given all the factors in between starts at home and starts on the road.[ie..performance ..opponnet..injuries..and especially moneyline.
Great question and surely can be debated equally depending on your point of view.
"The streak is your friend"
It's your friend if you have exercised money management and hit at very very least 3 or 4 weeks in a row.It damn sure ain't your friend if ya jump on at week 10 and get you lunch handed to you.
Cie..your a hell of a lot better than me at the NFL stuff..
Given my record this season whatever I express is surely just an opinion and surely not backed up w.house money this season:mj07:
GOOD LUCK TODAY AND IN THE FUTURE.
