Well that sucked.

[ScreamingMeemie]

The Packers were a totally different team today. Well...good luck Giants. I hope you take it to the 49ers.

2. Sorry, SM

As has happened too often in my sports-fan lifetime: there's always next year.

But it doesn't help right now, I know.

3. Not what I expected...the Giants sort of lucked out...

What I mean is, it'll be close in SF, I think Nawlins would have trounced them at the Dome.

4. Got out of a seminar just in time to miss the entire game

Which might have worked in the Giants' favor.

5. Lambeau Field, like Cowboys Stadium, is practically a second home

for Eli and the G-men.

Get yourself a cup of coffee and a donut.

6. Don't feel bad..the Packers did set a record..

according to the NFLN, Green Bay is the first 15 win team in NFL history to go one and done in the playoffs...Congratulations!!

10. Why is that necessary?

I mean, if it were the Cowpies, I could see that, but, c'mon! The Pack is the only publically-owned team.

7. I expected the Giants to win

I'm not a Giants fan but they were a hot team with a great quarterback playing a slightly less hot team with a great quarterback... but a worse defense.

Defense seems to matter more in the playoffs.

The championship game will be interesting -- probably the two most rounded NFC teams (at this point in time)

8. Go Niners !!!!

I first really started watching football during the 49ers era of dominance, so that team always will have a certain mystique to me.

9. Yes, it did.

The Giants played well, and the Packers were off in every area.

Quite frankly, the Giants remind me of last year's Packers. They hitting on all cylinders at the right time.

I'll be rooting for the 49ers next week, but I expect the Giants to roll 'em.

[TBF]

14. Gotta agree with this post in it's entirety.

It was embarrassing. And the Giants have looked good the last few weeks. I thought they'd give Green Bay a great game & could win but I didn't expect a blow out. Manning was great.

11. Sorry for your loss...

I really figured that game was a GB win. You never know...on any given week...

[Goblinmonger]

12. The offense was kind of a whole different team

but that defense has never been good this year (I know, I know, they're a "pressure" defense--but that earned them the rank of 32nd in the league). They generally played against not so hot teams.

Though I will admit Rogers was throwing some real stinkers.

17. The Packers Strength of Schedule was middle of the pack.

Further, it was more difficult than any of the four teams remaining.

Redgers was off yesterday, but not nearly as off as his receivers. The drops were just bizarre.

[TBF]

13. I agree - it sucked. It's different if you play hard and lose a close one

but they didn't even show up. I'd trade Finley to start with. It's pretty bad when Donald Driver, who is like 50 years old, is the only one who can hold on to the ball. And then defense ...

[PVnRT]

15. I'm ashamed to be a Packer fan this morning

That was just pathetic. No defense, no one could catch a ball, no one could make a play. They deserved to lose.

[HuckleB]

16. Yeah, the deserved to lose.

But I'm not ashamed to be a Packers fan this morning. Heck, I lived with nothing but incompetence from the Packers for the first 22 years of my life. I can live with a playoff beating now and then.
