Divisonal Playoffs: New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers

The final game of this round between the Giants and the Packers is another very intriguing NFC match-up. The Giants somehow know how to turn on a switch when the postseason comes around. Their defensive line can get pressure like no other, but Aaron Rodgers is so good that he can fire it to any of his receivers on a rope and have them break the big one. The difference between the 49ers containing Brees early on and the Giants [probably] not being able to is the level of play from their secondaries. The Packers will win this one at home.

4 home teams winning in the Divisional Round of the playoffs hasn’t happened since 2004.

All home teams won last week too, I think.

We’ll see how long I last this game. Too much McD’s and feeling sleepy.

McD’s? Oh no…a step away from CrApplebee’s.

It’s close and I needed the salt. Drank a lot last night.

Big Macs are good for hang overs.

Yeah. Had 2 of them and fries.

2 Big Macs???

I have a lil’ bird stomach, so that wasn’t a good idea.

Even with a large stomach that sounds like a bad plan. Greasy eggs and hashbrowns is the go to hangover meal, IMO/E

Sausage Egg Mc with cheese. Mmmmmm.

I usually go with the McChicken kicker

Bloody Marys are good for hangovers. Hair of the Dawg.

Eww, that stuff is nasty.

Yum, I make awesome Bloody Marys.

Me too. What’s your recipe?

I usually wing it depending on what we have around, but the musts are worchester, horseradish, fresh lime juice, tobasco, and lots of it, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, celery salt, a splash of clam juice is nice if you have it.

What’s yours?

Sounds awful.

I used to think so but as I’ve got past 30, it has become more and more appealing.

Dude, it’s gross.

My ex makes them when sh’e here. Makes me want to vomit.

My standard recipe is:
5-7 drop Worcester sauce
10-12 drop/dashes hots sauce (Franks or Red devil)
1/8 tsp horseradish (prepared)
lime juice (sliced, squeezed)
2-3 dashes celery salt
lots of fresh ground black pepper
3-4 drops A1 steak sauce
2 shot vodka (usually Tito’s or Stoli)
1 small can Campbell Tomato juice

Also do a variation with Sirachi sometimes

Good call on the Srirachi, I’ve done that too and its fantastic.

No doubt. I’ll leave out the horseradish and go wasabi, sirachi, and a little bit of regular hot sauce. Triple hot Bloody Mary.

I was watching a game at BW3 and the bartender put in a little bit of their hottest wing sauce – yum!!!

As did I. No excuse!

Chili day over here.

Belly goes ‘rumble rumble rumble’

I’m just hoping for a good game.

How is there not a Browns fan in the NFL/fantasy/had a bad day commercial?

Plus, and no offense intended to any homosexuals – that song is mega-gay.

I saw a commercial with Browns fans celebrating, I was so confused.

Because our QB on the tv apparently went deep. I was like, wtf?

Bud Light has to know our city drinks the most. There’s no other explanation to explain why we’re in their new commercials so much.

It’s not our QB, it’s just the first play of the Super Bowl, right?

No, he’s watching a Browns game while he answers the question to “What will be the first play of the 4thQ in the SB?”

Oh, thought it was just Browns fans watching the SB and he got the play right.

I think you’re right but I pretend its us anyway.

I only wear my Browns jersey on Super Bowl Sunday when the Browns are playing in the game.

OT: I am sorting of entertaining how our D looks with Vontaze Burfict at WLB, I don’t quite see it, but I also think we could use someone to intimidate Rothlisburger, et al.

Where is he projected to go? What pick?

low first round/top of second maybe

Is Burfict a cop or something?

and rec

That pic of Pittsburgh’s mayor “tebowing” makes me wonder what kind of trouble Denver’s mayor would have gotten into had he been forced to imitate Roethlisberger’s most famous “moves”

Eli with a good start.

And lol at everyone spending their time on the Tebow thread. No way in hell am I getting involved in that mess.

Good call, it’s ugly.

it’s a new thread and saw how many comments it had. Immediately thought “Oh no, this can’t be good”.

HAHA! I just checked and most of the thread was deleted! HAHA!

Politics, religion or both?

From what i saw mostly religion. But saw politics as well.

that’s what happens when you don’t wrap the runner up and you just go for the hit

Yup. Figured this be a close game.

I hate Joe Buck…and his stupid face

Hey, what happened to the Tebow thread? It was just getting interesting… :-/
(/sarc)

That’s strange, I was just in it, clicked over to here and found you all saying it’s deleted. Now it isn’t there. Must be some higher power at work…

Pretty sure NTN took it down.

I’m sure it’s for the best. Ugliness upon ugliness.

I saw who the main characters were and it doesn’t surprise me.

Yeah, I let myself get sucked right into that one.

I didn’t read all the comments but I saw you in there.

Same. Should’ve known not to touch that one with a ten foot pole.

Shame golan wasn’t around for it… could’ve been a truly epic explosion.

How do you know he wasn’t?

It’s certainly a possibility.

Like I said, I didn’t see all the comments.

Aha – good point.

I took it down. We let it go for a bit, but we had to shut her down before someone got upset.

I just assumed that NTN did because you were in there mixin’ it up.

Everyone for the most part behaved, but it had reached a point where discussions could have turned into arguments. Felt it was the right place to pull the plug.

It had definitely reached critical mass.

Why not just lock it?

It had already collected radioactive material unsuitable for those with delicate sensibilities.

The whole thing is gone now. hahaha

Oh geez. I will never say I won’t come back again….Thank you Tim Tebow;-)

Were you in the Tebow thread?

Reply fail, sorry.

Is the draft over? Who did we get?

Damn, Rodgers has nice footwork.

Mooncamping back at work over at Pride of Detroit:

http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2012/1/12/2703029/lions-calvin-johnson-cliff-avril#88531618

LMAO – he’s telling them they should trade Suh.

I like that he is not using the subject line though — sticking to DBN rules.

haha I thought of that too when I saw the post.

I swear he does that shit just to get a reaction. I think he’s a master at playing the clueless buffoon.

But one of his first posts was arguing with rufio about Robiskie. He was right about his NFL career thus far.

How did you you wrap up that thing you had to write? Sorry if I came on a bit strong there.

I think if he wasn’t legit, we’d have broke him while he was here.

He’s like an Andy Kauffman type — never sure if it’s schtick or not.

If you believe, they put a man on the moon….

Wll played – rec. Great song btw.

They think he’s joking. How cute.

Haha, that is hilarious, Heckert shouldn’t mess with them like that.

That Eli, he always seems to get a first when he needs it.

This pisses me off. Had Welker in my DBN playoff challenge. With the bye he would have given me X2 points. It said he was Questionable so I switched to Nicks yesterday. Then I switched to Jennings this morning Thinking GB would advance and now Nicks is having a good game.

DAMN IT! Another Nicks TD!

Apparantly I should be watching this game.

Eli is playing good.

I just turned on an audio stream.

Does that mean I can’t talk about the game because you’re behind again"

You can because I’m don’t have this thread open the whole time.

You yelled at me last time so I’m just being weary.

That was back when the MNF stream was a good 10 minutes behind.

If Giants pull this out we’ll have another NY/NE Super Bowl.

San Fran have a real chance against NY. That’ll be a good game, actually.

Yeah, it was close when they both played earlier in the season.

San Fran has a good chance against both of these teams — that D is pretty sick. Agree that their chances against the Giants are better — for one thing, they would have home field against the Giants.

Remember we all wanted Whitner…..:-(

I think he’s from Cleveland too. We don’t know who they reached out to and who rejected their offers but I find it hard to believe he wouldn’t want to play here.

I barely recall, but the last SF NY game was supposed to be all SF. NY won….was that the year they beat the Bills….honestly?

playoff game?

Yeah, sorry. I meany playoffs.

I just checked. NY won 15-13 to go to the SB.

Thanks

After thinking about it some more I thought they had played later than that. In ‘02 they had the famous botched snap during a field goal attempt to win. The Giants holder threw it down field and they were called for illegal man down field. Niners won by a point. I totally remember that play.

Forgot about Garcia…good call.

I’m from the Bay Area and remember watching that game with my friends. Game can’t end on a defensive penalty. It was Defensive Pass interference. But since the receiver was a lineman the game was over.

Game winning field goal by former Brown Matt Bahr (also kicked the game winner in the Super Bowl but that was overshadowed by Norwood’s miss).

I remember those games, and also meeting him as a kid. He was shorter than expected and a little, I dunno, anxious?

He remember him saying he didn’t think it was fair that a tight game could be decided by one kick.

I was disappointing when the Browns let him go. Matt Kauric was awesome though…not.

Wish we had a great O line like Green Bay

Not fair to judge Rodgers as a QB with that O-line or the lack of running game.

And all of the drops.

I’m hearing GB is talking trade up to get RG3.

That would be a disaster. They lost because Rodgers was running a lot. RGIII will run 30 gazillion more times than that so GB would lose even more games. /sarc

so if I eat kfc hot wings I’ll be invited to hipster parties?

No thanks.

KFC invites me to toilet parties.

Probably more like angioplasty parties.

I’ll have a bucket and 2 stents please.

but now they’re only fiddy cent a wing!!! Plus hipsters!

Would you like your arterial plaque original or extra crunchy?

Watching this Giants defense makes me think we’re not too far behind on the defensive side of the ball. We just need one more draft to put the finishing touch on it. Then, it’s a matter of maintenance for long-term strength…

Tuck, Ousi, and Pierre Paul are 3 stud rushers. Sheard looks good and Rubin is ok…we still are more than “a couple” players away, IMO.

None of those guys are rookies though, we need a RDE, a WLB and a little more experience and we’re pretty much have the type of defense where you’re just drafting the best defensive player available, not because you have a glaring need. We haven’t had that kind of D in a long time.

We’ve been down this road. Again I hope you are right, and agree the current D looks better than any in the last 13 years but I maintain our D is more than 2 players and our O is at least 5 players away.

I’m just talking about getting to a baseline of not totally sucking though. I agree that as the years go by we will be adding players with the intention of being a year to year playoff contender.

Our D is 2-3 players away.

Our O? That’s a whole other story.

Our D is 2-3 players away.

Our O? That’s a whole other story.

The story is our O is one player away. That player is the QB.

This. Rec. This.

I’m guessing u were not serious, but I think DQ would be better playing the will, Burflict the mike and Gocong playing sam regarding your earlier post.

I don’t think it would happen, and I’m not sure how he would fit with the other players (they seem to be pretty concerned about positive team chemistry, which I like), but I also think they could use a guy that scares people. Our D is solid and they seem to be building the sort of D that is boring but disciplined, like a wall, but I wouldn’t mind a dash of effing nuts added to that equations.

We need more pass rush.

1st round DE.

That’s what I’m talking about!

Sweet! I’m over this QB/WR with our two picks,

We’re the Dawgs for a reason – it’s DEFENSE!!!

I can get behind this line of thinking.

Just barely good.

If it was Dawson they would have said No Good.

They should have punted.

Rodgers/Finley should have made that play. It was a good call.

That was the 3rd down play.

You are right. When you are so good on offense I guess it can go to your head.

Not looking good for GB.

The road to the super bowl goes thru Harbaugh.

Tebow, I hope not.

Still can’t believe the Saints didn’t win yesterday.

Straight up shocking.

2 of the top 3 QBs lost before the Championships games. How does that lend credence to the argument that QB is by far the most important player on a team – that skill players needs are 2nd?

Both teams needed massive mistakes.

In fact, I would argue that the Packers and Saints are the two best teams in the NFL, just played their worst at the wrong time.

That’s a more than fair argument.

I would agree about the Pack but SF came with an A game…..

San Fran needed 5 turnovers (one in each red zone) and still needed a last second TD.

Saints are the better team.

Yep. San Fran played a great game but I agree. The Saints are a better team.

I won’t argue that guys….just reveling in the mystique that is Alex Smith. He was provincial when they needed providence. Drew is far and away a better QB but not yesterday.

In a dome, yes. On grass, the Saints are just about average. If the Saints and 49ers played 10 times and split home/away, I’d call the home team to win every game.

Mainly that defense and a running game are still important, and that’s fine, but you still need a QB. You also need luck, timing and playing strong at the right time. That last one is random, you never know when that’s going to happen.

NYG are definitely healthy and hitting their strike at the right time. Props to them.

stride…stupid drunk typing fingers

No, not the same GB in of the last month+

10 points, 8 mins. GB needs to play smart here.

Nail in coffin. Too many turnovers.

Giants win.

Only road team to win.

Wow – thought he was down but clearly not.

Game.

Packers played sloppy today.

not a good game all around by GB

Saints, Texans and Pack have all killed themselves. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers.

It feels weird to say it but the afc should now be favored….any Patriots fans out there?

Yeah, over at the Pulpit.

Only way to beat the Pats is to pass, pass, pass and rush the hell out of Brady.

The only team left that can beat them is the Giants. The Packers and Saints would have murdered them.

Or…and I know you don’t want to hear this….

Well?

The Ravens….

Flacco isn’t good enough to beat the Pats.

He has beat them though….It’s the worst of the worst.

Sucks to be an AFC guy yet hope neither of the AFC teams wins the Superbowl. Just like last year.

You don’t credit for the win with a stat line like this.

But he has had one good game against them in a loss.

That was an AFC north type defensive game wasn’t it?

I know what you’re saying. That was a rhetorical question.

Huh?!?! Did you watch this Giants game???

Good point…they are on fire. Personally, I think Brady is on a mission. Next few weeks should be awesome.

Lol…not sure what to make of that, I’ll just leave that to the powers that be.

I hate New York and it’s stupid face..

Niners are now the only team left I can root for in good conscience.

Hey, Rodgers! Off season double-check!

(can I get a graphic to go with that?)

Sweet Jesus, how do you get out run by Brandon Jacobs?

Charles Woodson looked slow and old there.

Over/under on Brady winning another Superbowl?

He’s pissed off. So I got $50 on Brady.

I am with you. Brady best QB left and their D seem to be picking up.

Yep. I’d put money on them now that the Packers are out of it.

I said it yesterday, I see the Pats being like the ‘06-’07 Colts – awful regular season defense, then turned it on and shut people down on the way to a SB win.

Ok, I am out. Go Browns.

I don’t like Manning, Flacco or Brady…..I’m riding Alex Smith for lack of options. A devout AFC guy rooting for the NFC….WWTebowD?

I always root for AFC, except when non Browns AFN teams make it.

I hate to sound anything similiar to certain others on here…but I called this game tonight. The “Golan Hunch” never fails!

Freakin’ Giants can throw a monkey wrench in anything…..they always could…….it’s nuts.

Sorry to be the grammar policeman, but I believe the correct phrase is the “Golan Gut”.

That would be “meme police”.

I’ve said the entire time that the Giants defense ALWAYS shows up in the playoffs.
