NFL Playoffs (Page 2)

x2

To be blatently honest - there's just not much the Packers suck at anything this year.  They ARE that good.  The formula for the Giants to win is offensive line and defensive secondary:

1.)  Protect Manning and give him time to get the ball to Cruz, Nicks and Manningham.  That receiver core is simply on fire rigth now!

2.)  A successful running game.  If the offensive line can get Jacobs past the line, he's super hard to bring down for a cornerback or safety.  Run the ball and control the clock.  If you can keep Rogers and the Pack offense on the bench, you have a chance to win.

3.)  PRESSURE ROGERS!  If you give him time to set and throw, you lose.

4.)  Tight defensive coverage.  The longer it takes Rogers to find someone open, the better the chance that Tuck will run him down.

Even though I'm a Bears fan I've never hated the Packers but the fans are getting huge ego's now to where they are annoying me close to Raiders or Cowboys fans. I will be cheering (most likely fruitlessly) for the Giants next week.

My Bills haven't lost a playoff game since January 1999.

I'm starting to think we should take a lesson from Denver and get ourselves a little divine help via some super-religious QB.  I wonder if the Dalai Lama can throw or if the Pope can run a 2-minute offence. 

As a Packer fan I was really hoping Atlanta would take the Giants out. 

The giants are a scary team because you never know if they are going to show up to play or not. When they do they are very good. Also the KC game showed that we definitely have weaknesses. We have had them all year long, we just haven't had anyone capitalize on them like the KC coach and team did.

If the Giants can do the same, run for 4-5 yards at a time and keep the offense off the field, they will give us a tough game. Our D being on the field for more than a few plays at a time is not a real good situation for us.

You also have to consider the fact that the Giants played the Pack to within a field goal during the regular season and I think they're playing better now.

Holy cow!  What a game!  NO-SF!  Congrats to you Niners fans out there!  How good do you feel for Alex Smith?  I for one am extremely happy for this guy.  Wow, what a finish.

X2.  Really, really entertaining game.  I was very indifferent as to who won but was glued to the TV.  Fun game to watch.  Now the NE/Denver game is getting out of hand.

GO RAVENS!

On another note... I am rooting for Harbaugh bowl #2...

I'm in the court of if they are going to review it, at least get the review right.

The officiating has definitely changed for the postseason though. They are keeping the flags in their pockets and letting the teams play. Already this weekend two teams have had zero penalties in a game and no one has had more than 5. Big change from the regular season.

Apparently you now have to move out of the way of QB being tackled and place a pillow under his head before he hits the ground.

Giants vs Niners next week should be interesting. Its supposed to rain for 4 straight days before the game so with the stadium below sea level we could see a muddy nasty field and a game played in the rain. That has to benefit the Niners against the team with the worst running game in football.

That said, the Giants will probably still be favored.

Would love to see Ray Rice bust out another 80 yard run 2nd play of the game again!

I would also love to see Pollard say hello to the pretty boy again!
