The Fourth Annual NFL Playoff Pickem’ - Page 4

I really really did not expect the Giants to win. That was a sloppy game by both teams. McQuarter's two fumbles were both really bad. The Giants kept giving Green Bay freebies, and Green Bay kept screwing them up. Tynes also screwed up twice on two relatively easy kicks. The guy is lucky he hit that 47-yarder.

I'm really surprised that Green Bay was not more committed to the run. I guess it's hard to trust the run when your defense is playing like crap bust still....

Favre threw a couple of REALLY bad passes. One of the interceptions he threw was just a soft pass. I dunno, it didn't seem like the energy was there.

The bottom line is I don't know what to think anymore. I thought the Giants were out in the Wild Card. I kind of expected the Cowboys to beat them. And I definitely expected the Packers to beat them. If anyone watched the last game the Giants played against New England...it was pretty close.

I'm sure the Patriots are slightly worried that the Giants will kill their perfect season.

My gawd.

We had this.

Fucking a.

Overtime.

BreakABone · 01-20-2008, 10:14 PM

He did it.

After screwing the pooch twice before.

Third times the charm.

Noooooooooo! Farve was so good all season, then he sucks balls when it counts. Well, Giants, I hope you take down the Pats.

I feel so bad for the Tynes.
he missed it twice, so his own city hated him. Then he makes it, and all of Wisconsin, and ever Favre fan hates him.
Poor guy.
It was a good game...with a few highly questionable calls, though.

The Superball is going to be a fucking routing, that's for sure.

I wonder if Bond killed himself.

KG, I assume you know the temperature was -3 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind chill of about around -25 degrees. Don't you think that might account for and excuse just a little the sloppiness on both sides? Ever tried holding onto an icicle of a football? How about throwing it and catching it?

Yeah, it was cold...Green Bay is an experienced team in cold weather. So I kind of expected the Pack to come out and run it a lot more, especially considering how well their run game was against Seattle. Brett Favre was his own worst enemy yesterday.

Good Job Typh.

Typhoid · 01-21-2008, 03:51 PM

Just for shits at this point do you guys want to do a "closest point differential" for the superbowl?

Just so this thread doesn't die down 2 weeks early, and adds a little more excitement?

Elaborate, Im not exactly sure what you mean...

Could that be because there's nothing in Green Bay?

I mean, the town of Austin, MN loves their SPAM. I'm fairly positive it has nothing to be with them enjoying the fake meat, but rather it's the only thing they can be proud of.
