So far I have read/heard nothing but Giants love (not here, obviously) and to an extent, I am glad the media is following this hype the Giants are feeding them. The Packers are the #1 seed for a reason and the Giants can sit there and suck on that 2007 teet for as long as they want. Neither team is the same and I don't get why people are jumping back to 2007 (other than the players that were a part of that game).
Our entire team is rested and with Mike McCarthy as head coach, you have to believe that they are ready to play come this Sunday. The Packers will feast off of the Giants cockiness. The Packers already went into their place and took a W. There is a small clip on NFL.com of Mariucci, Irving, and Sanders and they like to point out that the Giants had a few injuries on defense...possibly pointing to the reason they lost? Didn't the Packers have 4 guys out that game (Hawk and Bishop being two of them)?
Seems people always try to find a way to make excuses for the losing team when injuries are in place. Something I rarely see as a Packers fan.
Aaron Rodgers is going to play good football. There is no doubt in my mind about that. If the offensive line gives him the time, this game is over. No one can keep up with our offense.
Packers defense needs to step up big time and I think it wall begins with Capers. He needs to stop playing the soft man/zone coverages and let our GREAT man-to-man coverage CB's play their game. Lack of the pass rush plays to this as well but putting the two together doesn't help at all. Force Manning to make throws into tight coverage and there are going to be turnovers.
Packers- 35
Giants- 24
I hope the Philbin family is able to find their son. Terrible news.
