Not a good start for the good guys. Two plays, 38 yards and a 15-yard penalty. Just what I figured would happen.
Well, the defense stood up and the Giants missed a field goal. Maybe Plaxico Burress’ late hit on A.J. Hawk and subsequent penalty on the Packers’ Brady Poppinga fired them up. Now let’s see what the offense can do.
So far so good for the Packers’ offense. Favre is sharp and Brandon Jackson and DeShawn Wynn had some nice runs. Lets get some points now. Third and one, Green Bay timeout. I cannot stress enough how important it would be to get a touchdown here. The Giants defense will be questioning itself and might quit.
Unbelievable! Wynn can’t get a half-yard and Mason Crosby yanks a 43-yard field goal attempt. Might have been a bad snap, but still the Packers failed to take control and on the road you can’t blow opportunities like this. Confidence is not high.
Packer defense continues to struggle.
Amazing. How you can you not know a draw is coming on 2nd-and-15? Fortunately the Packers got pressure on Eli Manning to force fourth down. Watch the fake, please.
The offense has dug itself out of a hole at the end of the first quarter. If anything, it looks like the Packers might be able to score an offensive touchdown today. If the defense gets one, I think the Packers can win.
A terrible three plays ends the Packers drive, but there is a penalty on the Giants for roughing the kickers gives the Packers new life.
So much for that. Donald Driver pulls an Antonio Freeman and tips the ball to the Giants for an interception. This, my friends is getting ugly on both sides.
The Packers’ offensive line is not good. They simply cannot run block. Thanks to a Favre rocket to James Jones and a great screen pass to Ryan Grant the Packers have a first-and-goal.
Wow! What a nice drive by the Packers. 71 yards for a touchdown. Wynn, who I thought could have been cut on draft day makes a nifty move to score the TD. Sweet. 7-0 Pack.
Manning with way too much time ties the game in two plays. Nice defense. Charles Woodson and Al Harris get burned and the Giants seem to be in control again.
The Packers’ defense is simply playing horrible right now. Harris with a illegal contact penalty now and the fact is the Giants are gaining yards on pretty much every play now. Confidence is very low at this point.
This is the 2006 Packers’ defense all over again. Giving up huge chunks of yardage and not getting timely pressure on the quarterback. The Packers’ defense isn’t quite what we thought they were.
Man, the offensive line is just a joke. They couldn’t block a pee-wee team. This does not bode well for the Green Bay Packers heading into the second half down by three.
Pack up by four as Favre closes in on Dan Marino. Nice 51-yard drive set up by a nice kickoff return, however, the Giants needed one play to get to the Packers 37. Now to the 25. Simply put, the Packers’ defense is highly overrated.
Well, what can you say about Brett Favre? He has simply taken control of the Packers’ offense and the Packers havean eight point lead. Favre was red-hot on the drive finally hitting Donald Lee for a TD.
Now the Packers get a fumble on the kickoff return. A TD here and the game might be over.
Am I seeing this? Is this 1996 all over again? Favre is ripping it up in the Meadowlands and as much as the Giants’ fans hate it, I hope they appreciate what they are seeing. Favre is on fire! Now the Packers’ defense better not blow a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter. I had to say, because we are all thinking it. Confidence is medium.
Confidence is growing, but now it seems like the Packers called off the dogs here with two meaningless running plays after a great defensive stand. Now a punt. We might have to go through this after all.
Why did McCarthy challenge that call? What an idiot. The Giants have new life and are looking good.
Holy cow! The Packers will win the game! Corey Williams intercepts a screen pass or something and the Packers take over. With seven minutes left, the Packers should be able to protect a 15-point lead. A couple of first downs would go a long way right now. That’s one.
This is bananas. Wynn breaks a long one and the rout is on. I could not have been more wrong about this guy, he should be the starter next week at home against San Diego. What a game for a guy that pretty much completely missed training camp. The Packers are 2-0 and in first place in the NFC North and I must say looking pretty good. The defense struggled at times today, but the offense bailed them out, the opposite of last week when the defense bailed out the offense. Teamwork at its best. Is the Pack back? They have won six games in a row and are gaining confidence with each one. This could be a fun year, but we still need a running back. Is it Wynn?
Mike McCarthy is now 10-8 as a head coach. Who would have though that? Of course, having Brett Favre as your quarterback can’t hurt. This was a classic. Favre is still one of the best and now he has won more games than any other quarterback in NFL history. What a day.
