I guess I'm glad the Giants are out, given their recent history with the Patriots.
But man, the Packers look so good.

I can't hate the Giants too much. The only team to challenge Dallas all year and brought Fox their best new Sunday night comedy in ages.
Man, all four games next weekend are rematches. That's a little disappointing. Other than Pats/second bye week they all look good on paper though.
I don't think the Packers run the table the rest of the way, but I like their chances of taking out Dallas in a rematch.
Chiefs/Falcons is my ideal matchup, but I don't see that happening.
4 catches on 11 targets and a couple of key drops in the first quarter (one in the end zone) for Odell Bieber Jr. should play well on the back pages in NY tomorrow.
the receivers going on that boat had absolutely nothing to do with the Giants losing.
The Giants lost 'cause they blew a chance to open up a lead early, allowing the Packers to stick to their gameplan and ultimately let Rodgers get hot... and when Rodgers gets hot, he's a fucking buzz saw.
The drops by Beckham in the first quarter were not because he was on that fucking boat. The 90s Cowboys had a house full of coke and strippers down the street from the stadium and won 3 rings. LT snorted coke in the locker room before games.
That said... if Beckham wants to be the center of attention; have the commercials, the crazy hair, be everywhere, act like a tool during pre-game - then he has to back the shit up. If you want to be THAT GUY then you have to be THAT GUY. He's as talented a receiver as there is in the game, but he shit the bed yesterday. If he makes a few catches that an average NFL receiver makes, let alone an All Pro, the Giants could have had a two touchdown lead early and the entire game changes.
He's a generational talent, but he's an immature putz, and as much as the boat has absolutely nothing to do with the drops... he deserves whatever criticism gets sent his way today, because when you do everything in your power to draw attention to yourself, you're going to get attention drawn to yourself... good and bad.
Hopefully he learns and continues to mature. I do actually think he took some good steps this year (after the net debacle) - but he's not there yet.
My one hesitation with the Pack going forward is that they took a fucking beating yesterday.Good news for my team. Jordy Nelson isn't actually dead and has a chance to play this Sunday. My hunch is they'll sit him but if the Packers can somehow get past Dallas, it looks better for Jordy to contribute in the NFCCG.

When they got stuffed on 4th and short and the Giants scored a few plays later, I thought the momentum had completely shifted our way.
And then Aaron Fucking Rodgers, followed by just an absolutely brutal special teams mistake by Bobby Rainey,. 3 and out, and an(other) awful punt by Brad Wing.
Bobby Rainey and Brad Wing, btw, not on the boat for those keeping score.
But let's talk about Mike McCarthy for a second... What a bonehead fucking call to go for it on 4th down in his own territory. If the Giants had won yesterday, that would be the absolute headline today. He got let off the hook after the egg that was laid in the second half. But really really dumb.
Yeah, I threw a fucking fit at that play call. I actually had less of a problem with the decision to go for it and more of a problem with the play call. Thought a play action pass would have worked.

Same. The decision was acceptable, but the play call was so predictable and bad that it was doomed from the start. If there's a 90% chance you're running, a high percentage play action throw just beyond the marker will do just fine. Or a QB sneak. Anything but what McCarthy called.

Really?I'm hearing the Steeler game is going to move into primetime on Sunday due to issues concerning an ice storm approaching KC.
.
Really?
Has a playoff game ever been moved before?
Would be better for me as I am visiting my Mother in law Sunday afternoon and will not get to devote full attention to the game whereas Sunday night would be clear.
