Eh, sportscasters always like to add fuel to the game. I remember reading Tom Oate's column in the Wisconsin Journal Sentinel saying its a shame the Packers loss because they were the only hope to beat the Patriots in the NFC Championship game years ago. I thought of it as a praise and an insult, and still won't agree with his column anymore.
The Packers and Giants games were very similar that both seemed to fall apart at the end. The Packers though seemed to have the upswing with Rodgers coming back, the Giants still are realizing what the heck went wrong.
