Official Packers @ Giants Game Thread

[Rastak]

1st half analysis-

Giants are hurting themselves with stupid penalites, drops and injuries. They're bringing some pressure on D realizing they only have to worry about Driver. If Shockey can catch the ball, we'll have issues without D-line playing better.

Jackson/Wynn combine for 15 carries and 34 yrds (~2 per attempt). Besides one big play to Jones, Packers 'air' attack is non-existent with lots of short passes (essentially runs).

Pretty even game so far. Packers need to get something going on the run game - and at least keep the Giants honest. Favre doesn't play that well from the shotgun - so limit that shit. Defensive secondary needs to keep their assignments. Let's hope Manning gets some pressure and Lorenzen is forced to jump into the fire.

Just saw the replay on that TD pass, that was a nice throw....shoulder looks fine on that play at least.

Simply, to honor ole uncle Cliffy, this team lacks playmakers. Opposing teams don't have any respect for anyone. This just lets them tee off.

Packers made some pretty good defensive adjustments at halftime last week. Hopefully they can do it again. If they don't get more pressure on Manning, they will lose this game.

But I have seen the Saints picked as SB bound by several 'experts'.

[Fosco33]

i have had a theory of sorts about manning's play today. i am guessing the shoulder would be ok early and allow him to do well, but as the game wore on it would begin to tighten.

i'm hoping.

burress did limp to the locker room at the 2:00 mark so hopefully that will slow him down some.

i'm hoping woodson mans up and makes a damn tackle soon. toomer posterized him on that one sideline catch-straightarm-run play.

Somehow Woodson is leading the team with 3 tackles in the game

It's frustrating to watch our vaunted DL stymied so easily by a bunch of fatties. That and Hawk still looks like he's got his eyes closed on running plays sometimes. Other than that, the rest of the game is pretty much what you'd expect.

[Rastak]

I see some folks picked GB and MN in the survival pool....yikes, gutsy calls there....two road teams with so-so offenses?

Thanks to TT - right B?

They have to stick with the run and not panic.

Given the way our OL played in that half that's a tall order.

The secondary has to keep up with the man each DB picks up. We are giving up too much there again.

Nice spin move by Williams on the return.

[Bretsky]

who was that number 25 with the catch and spin for the extra yards a few drives back? I was at a restaurant but couldn't see it.

How do they look so far? Anyone give a brief summary of the goods, bads, uglys?

That was the new RB we traded a 6th for; Ryan Grant

1st down to the rookie fullback. It's something.
