We need to remind ourselves

[longtimefan]

I have said this a few times, but needs to be said again...

Every team we face wants to really beat the SB champs..On top of it we are undefeated...So it is two fold.

Just remember that when you wonder why we have hard time beating teams..

Good post LTF. That's something we have to keep in mind all the time. Everyone wants to beat the best team so we are playing all these teams at the tops of their games. And we are beating them. The Giants really brought it tonight, but in the end, it wasn't enough to defeat us.

This was hardcore today.

Aaaaaarrrrroooooonnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PackersRS]

Absolutely. Not to mention that we're playing some desperate teams, like NY and TB. They're fighting for the playoffs, we know we're already there...

So once again our defense lets them score a bunch, but scored a pick 6 of their own to keep us in a position to win.

To be fair, it was the packers offense that won it today.

I agree...Our defense sucked..However, woodson out, bishop, hawk...

Along with my statement...Makes for hard times

Last year lot of times, it was the D that won games for us

Why? We could have been the team down in points at the end without the defense's six points.

true. But i think last year it was a mixture of offense/defense (offense and defense both played great in the playoffs).

This year, the D needs to step it up. Eli manning looked like god out there at times..

You have a valid point sir

 

[Jules]

The D was banged up and got more so in the game with Woodson.

I was honestly more concerned with the offense earlier on. And Clay's pick 6 can't be overlooked. Huge huge.....

And Aaron comes through in the end. Lose the coin toss in OT and it might be 11-1.

 

[weeds]

Whew!!!

 

[whoartthou]

i just hope woodson's okay

What do you think? Concussion?

Thats good point too

 

[SpartaChris]

What do you think? Concussion?

Yes. McCarthy confirmed it in his post game presser.

 

[PackersRS]

Terrible outing by the defense. Just too many big plays given up.

In the end, they got 2 turnovers, as they always do. But definitely a terrible game. No excuses for not making a play on that final drive by the Giants.

Not to mention that your pic signature also caused a fumble. Really though, our 3-4 defense has evolved at an astonishing rate since that high scoring playoff loss to the Cardinals a couple years back. Our D's preparation always shows with high intensity play in basic run stops, pass rush, batted balls, tackling, etc. I'm feeling very proud of them. And special kudos to our special teams!

 

[gbpack12_2_89]

As always great post LTF best way to put it.. Teams wanna beat the defending SB champs and the undefeated team.

 

[longtimefan]

Also as RS said in other thread..They are fighting for a playoff spot..

And we did play them in NY

 

[bozz_2006]

I've had this game marked as perhaps our toughest test for months now. There were lots of factors stacked against us today. But champions find a way to win.
