With out a doubt Detroit got screwed on the fumble. It would have been 21-7 going into the half. Im not saying the Lions would have won but it would have made for a different game. Also Detroit should have challenged the spot in the 2nd qt when it was obvious ivory didn't make the mark on 3rd and 2 from the saints 15. By no means are the saints responsible its purely the refs as it always is in Detroits case. Oh yeah for all the nay sayers thinking the Saints can't or won't do good in outdoor venues think back to the beginning of the year. The Saints nearly pulled off a win in Greenbay and I believe they scored over 30. Brees is the man, the weather is not gonna do anything to his game. I watched this guy play at Purdue. Sun, rain or snow he was always on top of his game.

The first meeting was 80+ degrees, clear weather, in August, and they still lost! I think its a little different to win on the road on the frozen tundra of Labeau Field in late January, when it is below zero, the ice cold wind is blowing hard, and your receivers are trying to make their cuts on frozen natural grass.
 
So far in the first half of the Giants/Falcons game, I've worn a hole in my carpet pacing back and forth with excitement, WOW what a game so far, talk about exciting playoff football.............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz..............Way to go Eli taking a safety, what bonehead.

The whole frozen tundra, ice, wind, snow thing is a bit overblown, the Giants went there in 2008 and it was what 1 degree out and beat Favre and the Packers, it took a boneheaded INT to do it, Coughlins face looked like a tomato at the end of the game, but the GMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN got it done now didn't they, we all know what happened next, causing Shula and the rest of those fossils from the 72 Doofins to pop another bottle of Champagne as the Patriots perfect season got flushed down the toilet thanks to the Giants.
 
It's feast or famine. Pinball scoring football or soccer scoring football. No in between, it seems. A very defensive game, so far. Giants D is playing well and so is Atlanta's. I wonder if the game will open up in the second half, but I don't think so. Why change what is working defensively? Refs influencing things again. -- Al
 
Giants just stuffed the Falcons on 4th down for the second time in the game. Really poor play call by the Falcons. An empty backfield on 4th and inches kind of telegraphs the play. Giants just scored on the next possession, lead 17-2, and I venture that this game is over. -- Al

It was over before it started.

It warms my heart to see the Giants playing out of their minds on defense, maybe they can get on another roll like 2008 and go back to the Super Bowl.

Now wouldn't that be awesome?
 
This is how football should be played in the outdoors, with the defense stoppping fourth and ones, not video game, pinhead football.

I think they can give GB a run for the money and possibly beat them.

If that happens, I just hope the championship game is not in the homerdome because they will not have a shot there.

Well I'm glad you have accepted them as belonging in the playoffs...last week there was a lot of criticism about some division leaders teams records being undeserving of the playoffs...it's all about peaking and injuries this time of year...NYG's defense is healthy now...Atlanta averaged 26 per game in the regular season...their offense was shut out today...

I guess anything could happen, except now the Giants get to go to Green Bay. Lucky them. The honor of the NFC East has been upheld and the Giants have made it through to the second round, although I think it stops there. But I hope not. -- Al
 
How the heck did the Giants get their defense from 1986 or 1991 or 2007 on the field today? The defense, looking vintage, completely shut down the Falcons, stuffing the run, stopping them on three 4th down conversions, and giving up no points.

George,

That "bone head" Eli never had a chance on that play, the idiot tackle redirected the blitzing safety right at him. That being said, Eli, "your can't spell ELIte without Eli", through for 277 yards and 3 touchdowns and looked terrific today. Not to mention the Giants running game - the combination of a healthy Bradshaw and Jacobs ran for 172 yards today.

As far as Lambeau not being that big a deal to overcome, maybe it isn't for a team that plays outside in the Meadowlands all winter, but the Saints don't have any idea how to win in bad weather. Further, no dome team in the history of the NFL has ever won an NFC or AFC championship game outside.

You took the words right out of my mouth. ^&grin Having to eat my words about the Giants coaching staff would be worth it if I get to take my son and daughter to a Giants ticker-tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes. But for that to have any chance of happening, the 49ers would have to beat the Saints (not impossible) and the Giants would have to go on the road to Lambeau and beat Rogers like they did Favre in 2007 (not impossible, but certainly unlikely). By the way, don't blame that loss on the Favre interception. The Giants drove down the field well into field goal range (39 and 41 yard attempts) twice during regulation, and Tynes missed both before redeeming himself with the 47 yarder after Favre's interception.
 
I would have almost bet money that Denver wouldn't score a Td in this game. Tebow had a couple of nice throws for that score, plus no pass interference call that was the definition of shielding the face. I figured Pitt had the game, with the 6-0 lead being just the start. Time to refigure. -- Al
 
Tebow has figured out that it's ok to score in a quarter other than the fourth.
 
Denver scores a SECOND Td against Pitt?!?:eek::eek::eek: And now a Pitt turnover deep in Pitt land. -- A
 
The Steelers have struggled recently. Injuries to Big Ben and others are killing them. I give credit to Tebow though. Say what you will the guy plays hard with what he's got. I remember him apologizing to the Gator fans after they lost a rare game at home and promising it wouldn't happen again. And it didn't. Like Larry Bird he often doesn't look pretty but he is a winner most of the time. But never count the Steelers out at home.
 
Ok, I guess the Steelers didn't say their prayers today...................WOW. I guess the injuries and ineffectiveness they cause have finally caught up with us.

I keep saying all year, what else? Well, 2 starting D Lineman..........................

This is ridiculous and irritating. I knew it wasn't our year, but never thought this could be the way it ends.

2nd half, let's see what happens.

TD
 
Pitt back in the game, thanks in no small part to a terrible call by the refs resulting in a possible 14 point turnaround. -- Al
 
Oh boy. Now we get the Barnum & Bailey & Goodall OT rules! What a joke. -- Al
