Packers 54 Giants ZED

Go Giants!!!!!!!

That’s not a prediction, I just wanted an excuse to say “zed”, which as you know is uncouth in emptywheel-dom. This IS still a trash-talking thread, you know.

Nice way to work in a ZED on an EW thread … Lets hope that is the outcome of the game, too!

Giants on the board!

Crikey! You got to catch that Mr. Jenkins.

Arrgghhh! Defensive players need ball handling drills — yes I’m lookin’ at you Jenkins…

Hiya TexBetsy — been wonderin’ if you would show up tonight… Good luck to you, but GO PACK!

Tutored 3 kids and had aqua volleyball today. But I am here now! Pizza arrives in 15 min.

Good to see you — enjoy the pizza and the game : )

3 and out.

Toomer’s gonna give me a heart attack! Oy!

Golly. Who taught you to use YouTube in these parts?

Though Brett is worthy…

Rookie fan here with an inexperienced question. Are the Giants wearing little square thingies on their backs, although not Manning? Is that exceptional?

i got EPUd on the previous thread. the life of a charger fan is never easy. red sox fans could relate if they werent so arrogant. somebody go back and paste in my stuff please.

They did pretty good tonight, though. Kind of makes you wish it was healthy on healthy. As someone with a history of knee problems (and a history of laughing at the lacrosse guys with the ouchie toes in the trainers room), I hate seeing knees factor into the outcome of a game.

Yes. Those are combination GPS and full body heater units so that the city slickers from Manhattan know which way to run and can stay warm.

Sorry ’bout your Boltz randiego — any idea why they stuck with a gimpy Rivers in the 4th rather than going to Volek?

bmaz — nice choice of video up top : )

Ah, that’s why Bush’s had his suits tailored with a little square on his back. To know which way to open his mouth.

Say it isn’t so. Tell me we don’t have “Heater Gate” at Lambeau.

No heaters for the Giant benches? But the Pakc is using heaters–how Green Bay cold oblivious is that?

Not GB’s fault. The Giants had special fancy dan candyass heated benches with special helmet warmers brought in on their own at the last minute. If they don’t work properly; too bad.

Great play by the Packer nickel, Tramon William, 38

Ok, now we’ve spotted the Gents two scores just like we did the Boyz (can’t help it if the Gents only got FGs). Now it’s time for the Pack to move that ball down field….

If I were out there, I’d be using every candyass heating device known to man. I just got a neck gator for 25 degree temps. *g*

I noticed Favre nixed using a glove on his left non-passing hand.

No heaters for the Giants appears to be giving them some kind of edge. Once you’re frozen, you can just forget about it, or something - as long as your appendages remain intact.

Eli and his cadre of big&tall receivers are playing very impressively so far.

td!!

Donald Driver!!!!

Bob in HI

Wow!

THAT’S what I had in mind : ) Woo HOO! Go PACK!

ick.

Hi Bob!

Wahfuckinghooo!!!!

Sorry, TexBetsy. Your Giants have really been playing better, overall.

Bob in HI

Am i the only Giants fan in the room?

Hi, phred!

Bob in HI

Thanks Bob

EW, Bigby is OURS!

How did Plaxico hold on?

PetePierce put his money on the Gents for the hubcap. Neil is an old Giants fan, but wants to see a Pack/Pats SuperBowl. So you’re not entirely alone…

Except for the one Favre to Driver, Manning to Burris is the best combo of the day so far– they’ve been great!

Bob in HI

Agreed, but Harris and others are covering Burress pretty well.

he’s a Michiganian, no? Another cold weather killer.

Am i the only Giants fan in the room?

I think Muzzy @ 26 is. Part of me wants to see Eli do well, because of so much criticism I think wasn’t warranted in the pre-season, and part of me wants to see Favre win a Super Bowl.

You’re in Texas and you’re still pulling for the Giants?

He’s from Norfolk, VA, but attended Michigan State.

Born and bred in NJ. Went to games as a kid. Landed here by happenstance and here at least till Texteen graduates HS.

that’s brutal, Pete. that is all.

Bump under the 81 of he Placido Plexiglass Plaxico (I am learning here, remember).

” In response to BooRadley @ 39

No, Amani Toomer is the Michigander.

Bob in HI

flag confetti

Nice catch Driver!

I’ll take it : )

Plaxico went to Michigan State, but I know what you mean.

nice catch!

They need to review that either way.

or not

no. 17 has a soft protuberance under his no. if it’s a shoulder pad then his shoulders half way down his spine.

oy! what a terrible time for a sack.

Depends on one’s point of view ; )

How about that former Buckeye AJ Hawk! Go Packers!

I think somebody slipped Randy Moss into Placido Domingo’s Burress’ uniform.

You noticed THAT too? Yikes!

I had a brief power outage that took my teevee down, so I missed Burris’s catch (saw the replay). I had a few minutes of panic there while my cable box figured out how to restore itself!

Bob in HI

glad it is all better now.

The Giants receivers are having a game and so is Jacobs but the Packers defense is out-hitting the Giants in the first half.

If the Packers have delivered their toughest shots, and the Giants can figure out how to put it in the end zone, we’ll have a ballgame.

Sure. For this game and the next game…

Spartan, not Wolverine. Practically Wisconsin, really.

Hawk’s pretty cool…

Any more glitches, let us know, we’ll keep you posted…

You can’t have him, either.

LOL I see. That explains it pretty well.

” In response to Muzzy @ 43

Ah, yes. Spoken like a true denizen of A-Squared. For another example of parochiality, see my 49.

Bob in HI

“Any more glitches, let us know, we’ll keep you posted…”

Thanks; all OK for now.

Bob in HI

Jeebus. Haven’t you ever heard of Free Agency?

Can I get a first half re-cap and a second half prediction?

Giants will pull it out.

It’s very cold. The Giants forgot to switch out Good Eli for Bad Eli, as they have on every other bad weather game this year.

And Favre and Donald Driver still have it.

Coughlin is going to throw it to Plaxico, until the Packers double him.

I have. I have also heard of re-signing one’s best players when they come up for that sort of thing. You keep your greedy little Patriot paws off my Packers ; )

Haven’t you heard of rolling with your own roid boys and leaving our nice little team alone? Geez, the Pats are as greedy and rapacious as Hallilburton…

Three cheers for TexBetsy, Emptywheel, and BooRadley. HIP HIP H U R R A Y!

Eli to Plaxico!

“Can I get a first half re-cap and a second half prediction?”

First half was the tortoise vs. the hare. Manning slow and steady, two field goals. Packers crummy except for one play.

Bob in HI

Giants playing good enough to win, but also playing good enough to lose. Not enough pressure on Favre. But overall, they’re doing ok.

Wow the Pack are rolling the dice with single coverage on the corner!

Giants need to learn how to tell time!

“Eli to Plaxico!”

Plaxico is having one heckuva game.

Bob in HI

I think the word for that is “opportunistic.”

And while we’re speaking of it, how cool was the Pats’ win for Junior Seau, once of the nicest guys in the league, who used to kick my high school team’s ass back in the day. (Though we kicked their ass on everything else.)

randiego - Great Season for the Bolts!

“I never thought of losing, but now that it’s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That’s my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.”

(after losing to Ken Norton in a hell of a great fight, Mar 31, 1973)

Al Harris mugged Plaxico, then caught his pass!

Bob in HI

Back home. has anyone reported on what the deal was with LT? He was reported 100% for this game, so I’m confused.

I’m still under-impressed with the Patriots. The weather never seemed to figure in, and the refs let it be too. It feels like death by a thousand cuts. No pressure on Brady at all, and as I said, give him time and you are dead. More under-impressed by the lack of imagination by Ted Cottrell, and lack of boldness on offense.

I loved how the offense came out with bare sleeves - a statement to all who think So Cal teams are soft.

Welcome to the life of a Chargers fan. I guess we’ll see the Pats next year. I took the points at Caliente, and won some $$, but it’s not enough.

Junior Seau is dead to me. Go Green Bay!

At what age does a man change his name from “Junior” to something else?

Someone please explain the penalty.

Bogus call for roughing Lil Eli

The Giants are filthy dirty louses. They are hitting people late and intentionally jabbing their hands into Packers faces. What a bunch of worthless cheap punks.

roughing the passer

You can’t hit the qb after he throws the ball.

Nick Collins is not the smartest of the Packer players.

fuck off

I will stand by my statement. They have a well earned reputation for doing just that, and they are doing it again. It is cheap.

I think Collins didn’t see Manning get the ball off because of his angle and the way the ball was batted away. The way Collins picked up the ball after the hit, made it look like he thought he knocked it loose.

randiego — LT got hurt again, apparently badly enough that he couldn’t continue. I don’t know any more than that, sorry.

TOUCHDOWN!

You’re welcome — they couldn’t have done it without all the penalty help ; )

****** Betsy does snoopy dance in the Emptywheel End Zone *********

Packers shoot selves in foot.

Bob in HI

ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Eli may show up with nearly a half to play.

Woo Hoo! Nice return : )

I will stand by my statement.

Stand by whatever you like. Then look at the score.

Giants should get Bradshaw in, see what he can do. Time to bust some packer tooth enamel.

Ummm, this is football, not boxing.

Even Roidney Harrison call them cheap shot artists.

Tweeet ! Illegal fingers to the eyeballs.

>>>>>>> Betsy takes back the snoopy dance < <<<<<<</p>

WOO HOO!!!

Crap.

Karma Baby Karma!

In response to CasualObserver @ 108

Ummm, this is football, not boxing.

What goes on in the trenches along the line is seldom shown on family television.

Bob in HI

nice return

Now, I’m kinda sorta rooting for the Packers. But that sure didn’t look like a TD to me.

Though Coughlin must have his red flag somewhere between layer number 43 and layer number 48.

Even Roidney Harrison call them cheap shot artists.

With gossipy lines like that, why not work for Fox?

He had possession when he did that little stutter step. If Coughlin thought it was out, he’d have tossed the hanky. Can’t afford to lose the time out though, given the early one they had to take.

EW,

No, that was a good call I think. Two taps in, prior to the foot in. Good call. Play on.

bradshaw’s looking nice

Bradshaw. That’s what I’m talking about.

Hey, it is working for them; why not be honest about what they are doing?

That’s a wasted challenge…

Bad challenge, toes were down

McCarthy will lose this challenge.

Bob in HI

I agree.

“foot out” I meant. can’t type.

fucking beautiful reception by Toomer. Wicked beautiful, in or out.

TOUCHDOWN GIANTS!!!!!!!!!

Heavens to Betsy!!!

I don’t know what you all think, but the cold seems to be much less of a factor on the passing game than I expected…

yes heaven? what can i do for you this evening?

Bradshaw runs harder than Jacobs. Jacobs is huge, but Bradshaw runs harder.
