Me too. I remember tailgating beforehand and not even caring about the Patriots/Chargers? championship game beforehand. I wore a million layers under my one piece camo suit. My face was the only thing cold, especially since I brought schnapps and serendipitously discovered that they sell hot chocolate at Lambeau. I also remember how jammed the mens rooms were with people, sitting on the floors, trying to warm up.
...he could do no wrong (remember the underhanded off balance throw to the tight end whose name escapes me right now?). Even the snow balls he threw were accurate.
I'm pretty sure that was Bubba Franks. I definitely remember the underhanded pass as he was falling down.
Favre was as good as anyone else on the Packers bench that game. He hit Driver for the long score. That whole game was a pile of missed opportunities. Those who want to, remember the last play more than the other bad plays. . . .and let's be honest, that 2007 Giants team pulled off the greatest playoff run that I've ever seen:
- Almost beat the unbeaten Patriots in the season finale, shocking most
- Shocked most people by beating the favored Buccaneers in Tampa
- Shocked everyone by beating the dominant Cowboys in Dallas (which would have been a tough road win for GB)
- Shocked the NFL by beating the Packers in Lambeau on a historically cold day
- Shocked the world by beating back the Patriots, ending their unbeaten season
You can argue all that you want about specific plays, but that was a tough team to beat in those conditions.
