San Fran = cryptonite to Packers

[Fritz]

That meme - that the Packers don't play tough enough to win big games against rough and tumble teams - I thought we put that one to bed two years ago, when the Packers played some team from some former steel-mill city that was supposed to feature rough, tough players with a hard-as-nails coach.

Or has Ted Thompson, since then, drafted a bushelfull of pussified players, and has Dom Capers gone soft as a defensive coordinator? Did MM's success turn him into a prissy wussy? Is that what happened?

Harlan?

Yes, Harlan is a pussy

Ahh, memories......

"I kind of like that Pittsburgh macho stuff. I like the fact that he's a tough guy." — Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson, on new coach Mike McCarthy.

Packers beat the Niners without Bush and Jennings on the field. Feel good about a playoff rematch.

Didn't we beat the Giants earlier in the year last year when they kicked our butts in the playoffs? Early season success is no indicator of a game outcome in the post season.

Yes.

And the Falcons/Packers in '10.

And the Packers/Giants in 2007.

Should we cheer for the Packers to lose to the Giants later this year?

Don't forget they were banged up that game and missing a key player or two on defense

The Giants are cryptonite to us in the playoffs

The Giants are going to allow us to export encrypted files to our Dropboxes?

San Fran too?

Amazing that theses dudes sling code on the side.
