Playoff Football

Hey All, Sorry for the long delay, but I'm back and boy do I have a game to talk about. The New York Giants faced a great team in the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, 15th. Now everyone knew this was going to be a good game, but I don't think anyone predicted the outcome of this. The Giants came to play in this one, and the Packers should have been well rested after a 2 week lay off from having a first round bye. The Giants offense was on point in this game and would not take failure as an options. The two brightest stars on the field and that time were that of Eli Manning and Nicks. Eli who throw for 330 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 INT on the Packers D. Nicks caught the ball 7 times for 165 yards and 2 of Eli's 3 touchdowns. The greatest moment for the two had to be at the end of the first half when Manning threw a hail marry to end the half. A smart decision by the Giants on this play was that they had Nicks and Cruz on the same side of the field, their two best receivers. Nicks looked like he was going up for a rebound in basketball as he boxed out the defenders, went up and caught the ball at it's highest point, which is what you are taught in pee wee football. This in my mind took the wind right out of the sails of Green Bay, as they walked into the locker room with their heads hanging and feeling down on themselves. Also all the momentum was on the side of the G-men. Needless to say the Giants pulled out the biggest upset since they beat the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl. This isn't good news for the San Fransisco 49ners, as the Giants are coming off of a high with that big win on Sunday. They completely crushed the Packers 37-20. The 9ners are on a seasonal high though as this is their first trip to the NFC Championship game in a long long time. I think this will be the best game on TV this weekend, as we will get to see 2 great teams battle to get back to the Super Bowl. Both teams are hungry for another win, and will stop at nothing to get a win. I can't wait to see what happens and I will give you the update like always.

Until next time readers,
