[QUOTE="Fuzznuts, post: 205852, member: 832"] Good interview with Peter King this morning about the Packer/Giants game. He basically said that, the Giants defense was shutting down Ryan Grant and the run game of the Packers AND blowing up the screen game (which has been the Packers bread n' butter all season) so that you have alot of 2nd and 9's, or 3rd and longs, which are hard to convert in that kind of weather. The problem with the screen, imo, is that the RB's weren't letting the blockers get into their blocks....The Giants were so quick that the RB should have waited 2-3 seconds before running, and then maybe there would have been somewhere to run. Also, on 3rd and long, the Giants know it's going to be a pass...so they pin their ears back and blitz the QB. To top it off, the Packer WR's weren't beating the DB's and getting separation on those plays, so it was hard to move the ball, especially in the 2nd half. That's what was so frustrating...to Favre and to the Packer fans... The Packers didn't have an answer to this, and I think that this is where it falls on McCarthy. He should have tried to exploit the Giants middle more on 2nd and 3rd downs once he saw that the other stuff wasn't working. This is how you beat the Packers, and next year they have to find an answer to this. A good 3rd down guy like a Kevin Faulk is what is needed to exploit the middle when teams try this. We did not have that guy this year! Oh well, there's always next year, I guess... [/QUOTE]
