True, but that was more of a fluke. They should have won the game by 7, and would have covered.

They played a whole season without Brady, look it up. I've got to hand it to Bill for always thinking... he played his second string to prove to the league that The Colts are losing on purpose... this is why the NBA has a lottery. Shame on them, Bill handed them the game and The Colts did everything possible to lose.

Someone call Roger Goodell, he needs to fix this.

I had the impression the G-men hung quite tough, especially late 4th quarter.

How was it a "fluke"? The Giants tied the game with 58 seconds to go, but Rodgers engineered a great drive (with a couple of fine catches) and the Pack got a winning FG. How should they have "won the game by 7"?

The Giants never should have scored on their last drive is how.

Green Bay played soft. THAT is what I mean.

If the Giants don't score with 58 seconds left, GB wins by 7, which covered the spread.

Geez, sometimes you can be such a mental midget.

That's pretty stupid reasoning even for you. The Giants moved the ball pretty well the entire game and Green Bay's pass defense isn't very good. Yeah, if the Giants didn't score at all the entire game GB would have covered, too. But the Giants scoring on that last drive was hardly a "fluke" (and they were down by 8, not 7 BTW).

Yes, I realize they were down by 8, but they needed 7 to cover the spread.

Then why did you say:

sc: If the Giants don't score with 58 seconds left, GB wins by 7, which covered the spread.


For the game, the Giants had 447 yards of offense and 24 first downs. The Packers are second to last in the league in allowing passing yards, while the Giants are 4th in total passing yardage. The Giant drive was hardly a "fluke".

The Giants are what, 6-5 now?

They have been beating the hell out of everyone.

Non sequitur.

They are 6-6 actually. But that still doesn't make that last minute drive against the Packers a "fluke".
