I had a busy start to the work week, got better sleep last night.
I was starting to put it behind me and then that pic took me back to the first half. Painful.
6-0 lead. Could have done more but Rodgers and the Pack couldn't seem to do anything. That long strike to Tye had me thinking the Packers D might be in for a long night. A couple of plays pulled out of the ass of Aaron Rodgers and that was that.
This weekend will help, oddly enough. A few more teams getting knocked out of the tournament, one especially will go a long way to help transition into the offseason.
The weeks and months without Giant football are terrible. The season is like an old friend that comes to stay for a few months and then has to leave abruptly.
The mistakes and the hail mary changed everything. Losing DRC was a backbreaker, too.
Trying to just get over and be done with it but the final score really was not at all indicative of how this game could have gone if we hadn't let them hang around the way we did.
Rodgers runs around on 3rd and goal and finds Adams.
Rainey gets stuffed on 3rd and 1. Punt.
Hail Mary.
Yes, we had a nice short yardage stop and the quick strike to King, but those were gone like a fart in the wind.
I am hoping Klaatu sells his Grandmother's rice pudding recipe on Ebay, to defray the cost of getting an OL for Eli....
2) The Philadelphia Eagles have never, ever won a Super Bowl and never will.
It's all good. 😊
Still, opportunity lost is always tough.
I just hope Rodgers is as good as we think and has his way with Dallas.
This was one of those games where you can objectively say the score did not tell the entire story..We had the Packers looking for a jole to hide in. We were battering Rodgers and making him look like people have asserted Eli has looked this year-skittish..Then the Wing punt and the hail Mary..Even the Packers felt that after the hail mary, the Giants mojo completely changed (even though it was still only 14-13 in the third)..
Sure, we should have put up the points in that first half, but the mistakes that have haunted us all year occurred once again..
Usually a 'blow-out' is the way I want to lose IF WE ARE GOING TO LOSE. This one hurts..
The Giants got beaten by the better player. We have been on the right end of that before.
I only ask one thing--knock off Dallas. Do that and this season is just fine. It ended badly but the Giants got a lot of good out of this season. They will build on it.
The Pack were better. Just like the Giants were better in 2011.
Our goal next year is simple. Win the NFC East and a 1-2 seed and get the bye week. Host that first playoff game. This 5 seed crap isn't going to cut it no matter how many people insist on conjuring up memories of the 2007 Giants. Win the East. Let Rodgers come to JErsey next January and then we will wipe him the fuck out.
