14-sniffle with like four minutes gone in the first quarter at Green Bay??

DocTee Jan 12 2008 04:11 PM

GB on a 28-3 run since that point.

KC Jan 12 2008 04:34 PM

Yeah, Seattle's O has sucked hole. It was a good excuse to start a thread with the strange beginning with the fumbles.

KC Jan 12 2008 04:46 PM

Oh, and ya gotta love a snowy football game.

It was just about perfect, Lambeau Field in the snow like that makes for a great spectacle.

Well, this thread ain't gonna break any interest records here ... but I have to chime in a nice job by the Chargers today. The stripes took a 80-something yard TD away from them on a mamsy pamsy holding call and there were a few other bullshit calls in favor of the them too. I'm not sure the Chargers are the team to knock off the Pats (over Indy), but they won and I'm a Chargers fan next week.

metirish Jan 13 2008 02:41 PM

I was rooting for the Chargers, seemed like all the calls were going against them, especially in the first half. Rivers getting into it with the Indy fans is idiotic, he has nothing to gain form that stuff.

metirish Jan 13 2008 05:58 PM

I'd pay to see the look on Tiki Barber's face right around now, great win for the Giants, KC asked last week if they could knock of the Cowboys and they did, he was onto something.

Big win in Big D for the Big Blue!

Valadius Jan 13 2008 06:14 PM

That was a fucking fantastic win!!! I'm feeling pretty damn good right now.

I'm thinking about all the Big Blue fans (good to see the team sans Red today) who were so discouraged - even downright mad - as the Giants were stumbling to clinch late in the season. Many were taking the 'there's no point in playing against NE' angle, and some even a 'Replace Manning NOW!!!!' stance. They were so convinced that even securing a playoff spot was virtually useless since there was no chance of winning even one game much less advance any substantial distance that they were ready to go into a rebuilding mode now rather than put off the "inevitable". I realize that view was that of the loud minority but it was a sizable faction expressing it - especially considering that they were talking about team that had won 10 of 13 at that point (10-5 prior to the NE game following an 0-2 start). Giant fans were so mad at that point ... they sounded like Met fans.

To be fair FK, they were coming to that opinion after watching couple of seasons in a row of horrific Decembers and two straight "one-and-done" postseason appearances. And it did look like Manning was actually regressing as a QB often, giving off an impression that he wasn't even going to amount to what his father had done, let alone big brother Peyton (yes I realize Peyton is in the conversation of greatest QBs in history). Bottom line is, how could anyone be that confident in this squad of making it into the Final Four based on the last couple of years, and based on the lead up to the Pats game? The Met fan comment seems a bit out of line though, the attitude seemed more Jet fan like in terms of fatalistic approaches! =;)

"To be fair FK, they were coming to that opinion after watching couple of seasons in a row of horrific Decembers and two straight "one-and-done" postseason appearances." So what? Because you lost last year that means you shouldn't even try this year? I never realized winning 10 of 13 and 4 straight years getting to the playoffs was such a turn off. "And it did look like Manning was actually regressing as a QB often, giving off an impression that he wasn't even going to amount to what his father had done, let alone big brother Peyton (yes I realize Peyton is in the conversation of greatest QBs in history)." Again, that's letting great be the enemy of good. "Bottom line is, how could anyone be that confident in this squad of making it into the Final Four based on the last couple of years, and based on the lead up to the Pats game?" It's not that they weren't CAHNfident, it's that they were so damn angry to what they had accomplished that they had already given up on even the possibility of any future success. "The Met fan comment seems a bit out of line though, the attitude seemed more Jet fan like in terms of fatalistic approaches!" The Met fan similarities was in the anger and the view that there only two outcomes: SB champs or burn-down-the-house failure. And since the one wasn't assured the other should be put in place immediately.

You don't know anything about Jet fans except for what you hear on the FAN. So pipe down. Have you said two words about the Giants this year? I usually skip your posts but I don't remember anything. Enjoy hopping on another bandwagon.

Okay, so tell me about Jet fan psychology that makes them different than moronic fatalistic Met fans, that probably rationalized the biggest collapse in divisional play history by saying "Ah we'd probably would have been smoked by the Rockies anyway."

I'm a Giant fan. I don't post much about them here because my wife's a Quaker. No, wait...wrong movie. I don't post much about them here, and I was terrified of another late-season swoon, but I still have a question -- who was the game MVP?
