Dumbest quote from the Giants

[Badgerinmaine]

"We'll be an underdog, and we'll be the worst team in NFC Championship Game history," guard Chris Snee said. "But we'll be happy about it."

I think this is just reverse psychology for him and his teammates. It's like Tressel making a DVD of what the national media is saying about his team and playing it for his guys before the national championship game. It didn't work for a W, but it's smart. If this guy needs an edge by saying stuff like this to try and disprove it, OK. Still gotta go out and execute.

I think that's exactly right. They're on a tremendous roll and have won nine in a row on the road. It's all the "nobody respects and believes in us" self-hype lots of teams try to use to fire themselves up.

The Cowboys looked pathetic on those last 2 drives...and I blame most of that on Romo. He's not the leader Favre is.

To be fair I have seen Favre handle pressure very poorly. Let's not forget some of his 6 int games.

The 6 INT game was definately a low point for the Packers. But looking back, it was almost as though Favre was the starting QB and head coach. Sherman was worthless in coaching Favre.

To be fair...let's look at what Favre has been doing this year, and not things a seasons ago. 6 ints in one game is pretty bad, but let's face it, that was then, this is now.

Favre is being coached this time around. 17 years has room for a lot of errors in it...I would say Favre is handling pressure very well this year, especially looking at last week's game.

Is it just me when I say that I thought Romo played pretty well given the play of his line and receivers. Crayton dropped how many passes and he seemed to be getting pressure throughout the second half.

He played OK in the first 3 quarters...then when the game was on the line late, he made some very poor decisions and did not exhibit quality leadership.

Someone like Favre, Brady or Manning may not have rallied the Cowboys to victory...but they likely would've increased the chances considerably with better decision making and leadership.

Go watch those last 2 drives by Dallas and look how rattled Romo is. He is screaming at people. He got a penalty for throwing the ball away even though he wasn't under any pressure to do so. He should have been looking at Owens far more...especially the last drive, where I don't believe Owens was even a target once.

That's what really stuck out for me. Look at Montana, Look at Unitas, look at Elway, look at any of the great ones. One of the qualities they exhibit under fire is a coolness that inspires confidence in teammates AND is useful in terms of time management. Romo looked like he lost control.

Thats all good. There is a lot of stuff going on in the Packer world so school and work will just have to wait.

I would say it had more to do with the talent around them. They were clearly overmatched when they played St. Louis in the dome. Favre has a tendency to try to do too much. Here's hoping he plays within himself on Sunday.
