Wildcard Weekend Game Thread - updated title

[Bretsky]

I will say this about Steelers fans- they are first rate. Looking at some Steelers forums most posters aren't blaming the refs or calling for some conspiracy theory. The echoed statement seems to be "Tough loss but we fought hard, thanks for the season Steelers, see ya next year."

Will it be the same over here if the Pack fall in defeat?

HECK NO

A good loser is often one who expects to lose

ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!

[RashanGary]

Wow, this is the first time I've watched Tampa. They're good.

Tampa's pass rush is ridiculous. Eli finally had a decent drive there. 7-7.

Toomer reminds me of a poor mans donald driver.

Brandon Jacobs looks like a pretty darn good back.

[RashanGary]

The Giants make the mistake every game of trying to run it down the opponents throat when 8 guys are stacked in the box. Then they do NOTHING, realize they have to pass and then start moving the ball.

[RashanGary]

I don't think Eli is a GREAT player or anything. He's obviously not his brother but I think he's an OK quarterback. If teams want to give up the pass, I think he's good enough to take it. They just have to recognize it instead of running into 3 and outs.

This game is likely going to come down to whether Eli's brain overheats and shuts down in the fourth quarter.

This game is likely going to come down to whether Eli's brain overheats and shuts down in the fourth quarter.

If it does, is he looking for a job next season?

The Gmen are the better team imo. Eli's play of late has been better. I do think the Giants have a better shot in Dallas than the Bucs do.

Eli looks pretty good the past couple of series. He reminds me a lot of his brother today, which has not been the case for most of his young career.

Eli is carving up that cover 2 this drive. Time to start sending some heat again.

[RashanGary]

I've watched probably 10 games of Eli's career. He's always been pretty good in my opinion. He throws a couple "what the hell was that" passes in every game, but overall I thought he's been one of the better young QB's in the league. I think the comparison to Peyton is what makes it hard for him to ever win. If his name wasn't Manning, I don't think he'd get all of the scrutiny. That and playing in NY.

Solid, solid drive by Eli.
