Brett Favre is a legend, a great hu*****and, a gunslinger. The Green Bay Packers is a classy organization, one of my favorite non-Giants teams. It is hard for me to root against them but they are on our way to Super Bowl so they must be defeated!
I was in Binghamton, NY on Saturday. The temperature dropped to 25 degree at night. When I stepped out of my car, I was shivering in wind. The next day was worse. It was 18 degree under the sun. I then realized how absurd people having idea that playing football on a frozen tundra is a huge advantage for Green Bay. The Giants is not from Florida. It is from NY, a northeastern state. Brett Favre said that they practiced in indoor facilities during winter so how does the freezing weather make the Packers a more superior team than the Giants?
I rushed home (NYC) to catch up the game (thanks NFL for starting the game @6:30pm ET). Surprisingly, there was no traffic at all in a sunny day(people from tri-state areas should be familiar with notorious traffic jams in NJ and Lincoln/Holland tunnels). It was a auspicious sign for the Giants (grin). I got home way ahead of my schedule so I had time to take a warm bath then I anchored myself in front of the TV (to watch the game between the Packers, the youngest team in the league, and the Giants, the 3rd youngest team in the league).
Every football fan watched the game so there is no need to detail it. The Giants were well prepared (to play in cold). The offense was sharp. Eli Manning was more manned than Brett and had another solid game (20-41, 254 yard, 0 td, 0 int, his stat should be better if his receivers didn't drop too many balls). He put the team in the position to win time after time. The defense was terrific. Other than one broke play (CB Webster fell down to the ground then the Packers had a free 90 yard TD pass but Webster redeemed himself to intercept Favre's pass during OT) the defense only gave up 174 yard for the rest of the game. The special team continued to be a force and kept giving the offense good field positions.
Brett Favre played fairly good but the Giants completely took away the Packers' running offense (only 28 yards gain). The Giants dominated the time of possession (40 to 22 min) so B.Favre's hand was kept cold while their defense gased out on field. Their offensive line had great pass protection but didn't do much to open up lanes for their RB. The score shouldn't be that close but, hey, it is a game played in a sub-zero environment even the reliable hand-McQuarter fumbled twice in the game (one after he intercepted Farve and another one was during his run in the punt return).
I want to defend the kicker here. The first one he missed was a 43-yarder. The second one was faulted on the long snapper. He nailed the 47-yarder to seal the game and became the first non-Packer kicker to score a FG>40 yard in post-season. It was freezing and windy and he had to kick in a hostile, unfamiliar environment and, more importantly, he is a Scottish(grin). It is amazing that the coaches still had confidence on him after two misses and that he still had it in himself. Great kick and great relief for all Giants fans.
People who attribute the Giant's victories to pure luck are plain wrong. I wonder if they watch the same games as I do. The Giants right now is a great disciplined team. They play with urgency and confidence. They show up to play every game and play with high intensity. They have only 1 probowler but they outplayed all probowler teams so far. Plaxico Burress, for example, abused the Packers pro bowl CB Al Harris last night with only one healthy foot (he played with a partially torn ligament and a sprained ankle throughout the season). This Giants team has heart and character.
The Giants set a NFL record with yesterday's win-10 consecutive road win in a season (if you have question don't dispute me. It was announced by NFL). They are the real Road Warriors! Here they come, Glendale, Arizona (my brother lives there but he is interested in soccer and basketball only). I look forward to witness them to extend their record to 11 road win. Go Giants!!!!!!!!!!!
