I was ready to hang myself after two Green Bay turnovers led to 14 points
in the first few minutes, but 201 yards rushing by Ryan Grant saved the day.
And Brett Favre made a typically incredible play on third down to save a drive
that led to a TD that appeared as though it would be critical at the time.
My condolences to our CC Seahawk fans.
Go, Giants! Heavens knows that I don't want GB to have to go to Dallas.
(yes, Miss Mia, I am trying to avoid your guys ;) )

WWEEE!!!
Man I almost had an aneurism (SP?) when I tried to find your ever-reliable GB thread at CU.
Now the games over :bawl:
-
Same thing here -- but it was amazing how Favre just kept his cool and kept them in the game.
After that first 2, GB scored on their next 7 possessions.
I hope the Giants are worried.

those threads were always fun, weren't they?
I was too nervous about the game to post a live game thread here, but miss mia (a big cowboys fan) and I have agreed to start the world's biggest live game thread if GB goes to dallas for the NFCC game. ;)

as great as favre is when he is down late in the game, he is sometimes a disaster when GB is down early. I credit him and mccarthy for staying with the game plan.
-
I was a little nervous too when it was 14-0 with less than 4 minutes gone, but Favre didn't start trying to score a 21 point touchdown like he did in Dallas, and Ryan Grant really tore the SeaChicken's D to shreds.
Sorry for you, Rearden Steel, but it's time to look to next week.

Truer words were never stated. I love the joi de vivre that Favre brings, but he can be worrisome and pressing when they are behind.

I genuinely feel bad for rearden and lauri. :(

That's the thing I love about Favre; whether he wins or loses he does so is such spectacular fashion that it is talked about loooong after. There really is no middle ground with him

very true. he is either spectacular, or he is spectacularly bad.

it was funny as hell when he nailed donald driver with a snowball after that great fade pass into the corner of the end zone to jennings. and it was even funnier when driver nailed him back . . . in the forehead. :-) he is just fun to watch.

ryan grant is making me miss dorsey levens less and less.

Well, it looks like instead of winning in Seattle, the Giants are going to do it in Green Bay. :-)

I was rooting for the Packers, so WOOOT :cheersmate:

GB may lose at home against the giants, but I prefer that scenario to playing at dallas.

Talking to my dad in the hospital tonight and I said I don't know which would be worse if they win tomorrow, playing in Green Bay where it snows it's ass off, or playing in Seattle in the loudest stadium in the NFL with the 13th Man.

OMG! screw football. how is your dad?

OMG! screw football. how is your dad?
He's fine, been there for about a week and a half. They keep putting his surgery off. He had a 100.9, then a 102 degree fever. Now his surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. He's wanting the hell out of there. Has Dialysis tomorrow morning and wants out of there by 12PM Central. ....so he can watch the Giants beat the Cowgirls. :-)
By the way, we're both Saints fans first.

The day was perfect...the sissy boys from Dallas got beat. In the first half the Cowbores were high fiving each other after every play, show boating after every tackle....they lost. It couldn't have happen to a nicer bunch of gang mem...... er players. :lmao:

Even though I despise the Gints, any day the cowpokes lose is a good day on earth :)

Hey folks... big time Seahawks fan here, :thatsright:
1- Congrats to the Packers who played a great game. (fought for 60 minutes and the better team won)
2- Don't feel bad for most Seattle fans. I've been a life long fan (I'm 4 years older than the Seahawks) and have seen enough 8-8, 9-7, 7-9 seasons for three lifetimes. :-) (us lifers are very pleased w/the last 5 years)
3- Go GB!! (all the way to SB Champs!)
4- Thank you :bow: thank you :bow: Giants for making a Dallas/NE superbowl impossible. I'd have gone crazy booing for both sides and may have skipped the show all together. (not that magic Favre woulden't have won vs the Cowgirls but it's a weight off)
5- Good luck chargers. (you really, really, really need it, LOL)
Love the playoffs. Love football! Still love my Seahawks, heh heh. (It's nice to be thinking about the draft in January rather than the more usual, for Seattle, November)

Keep the faith, RS. Holmgren does know how to coach a winner, you just need a few more pieces of the puzzle.

A healthy Marcus Tubbs (DT, IR'd in the preseason)
A good TE (who can catch)
One great, or two better than average guys for the OL (3 outta 5 aint bad, lol)
I think were there. Some depth at key spots from the draft and retaining out key FA's is a must but overall, I'm a happy camper.
