I'm anxiously waiting for word on the Packers defensive backfield health. I think that will be determinative of the outcome.

Hope you are right.
No one guy can cover OBJ but they will scheme to try to keep him in check. The bigger question for the Giants offense is will the OL give Eli time to find OBJ and will Eli be accurate enough to take advantage if/when they do.
It looks like Perkins is going to be the lead back in the playoffs. He has been pretty good the last few weeks.
The defense is playing well and are healthy on the back end. They will miss JPP in this game because getting pressure on Mr. Rodgers without blitzing is a must.

I was at Lambeau the night Plaxico Buress was unstoppable and again in 2011 when Hakeem Nicks could not be covered, so,I guess I'll have to drive up again on Sunday to see what this Beckhamn kid can do.

As a Packer fan, please don't. Doesn't seem like the Packers have a very good track record with you in attendance.

Ha...... i don't even believe you typed this. Your disdain for the Packers is so, that you had to have someone else type this.
Nice try though......LOL

I hope the Bears organization continues to share that disdain. Clearly they would have massively benefitted over the years had they not. Had they not they might have stolen any of the personnel now GM'ing the Seahawks, Raiders, or Chiefs. Had they not they might have the Giants coach instead of Fox. I hope they continue to turn their nose up at what is happening in that tiny town up North that continues to set standards of which they can only dream. Not only are the Packers in the playoffs for the 8th year in a row, their organizational family is also in the playoffs this year in four other situations.

From ESPN: "Jenkins did a good job against Nelson the first time around when the Pro Bowl receiver was held to four catches for 38 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets."
I'll sign up for that. Plus that was when the Giants' D was not playing near the level they have been.

It seems there's a big supply of tickets right now. Purely anecdotal, but I think anyone wanting to go to Lambeau on Sunday should have no trouble getting in for face value.

Jordy wasn't exactly up to speed then yet either.Big Blue Wrecking Crew said:
game should be fun and GB may have to win shootouts with this secondary.
Also the Pack cannot let Eli have time to pick the D apart. Playing coverage to help the corners sounds great, but given time any QB can beat you and with those weapons, Eli can shred them.

Buck up Flap. You are depressed after every season, nearly hopeless, but not like this. Maybe you can take heart that Virginia McCaskey is in her 90's and can't live forever. (Though she does look good for her age.)flapgreen said:

Eli is horrible. Only hope is all the packer injuries. Neither team looks like they win more than one game.
Why, you don't think either team has a shot at beating Dallas assuming Seattle wins? You do realize the Giants have already beaten them twice.

I just finished a 6-team playoff draft and we ended up with 4 NYG players (Perkins, Jennings, Beckham, and Shepard). I can't believe it. It just happened that way. Two Patriots (Brady and Edelman), and three Seahawks (Graham, Hauschka, and SEA D).
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought we would have 4 Giant players and 0 Packers. I like GB, but rooting for NY now.

That was also when Nelson was working on getting back to his old form. He wasn't his old self till probably mid-season or so.Big Blue Wrecking Crew said:

Eli has been horrible all season long yet they managed to win 11 games.
The last 3 weeks the running game has gotten up to serviceable.
Perkins has been getting more involved
Vs Det 11 carries for 56 yards
Vs Phi 15 carries for 68 yards
Vs Was 21 carries for 102 yards
Perkins doesn't break tackles or have high end speed, but he has good vision and elusiveness. I think he and Jennings will be used in the passing game more.

NY giants defense has been playing lights out for several weeks now. As well as the Giants have been playing, they need to establish a formidable pass rush against AR. They need to find a way contain him. Much easier said than done, I know. This Giants team is not the same team that faced the Pack in week 5. They went into this game with Darkwa and Rainey as their starting RB. That duo should not instill fear for any defense. Eli Apple exited that game early in the first half, as a matter of fact I think he went out in the first quarter. Oliver Vernon was still playing with a broken hand, and I believe Snacks missed the first two defensive series after getting banged up. Less not forget that DRC also played the majority of that game with a groin injury.
What has not changed is the Giants offensive line. That being said, I do NOT see it changing for this weekends game either. The Green bay pass rush was able to get pressure on ELI on almost 50% of his drop backs. To make matters worse, they were able to do this only rushing four lineman and hardly blitzing. The GB defense basically played in their nickle and dime packages. That NY Giants RB's ran for 43 yards. Capers called a great defensive game daring the Giants running game to beat them. If the NY Giants running game has a repeat of that week 5 game, it will be a long afternoon for Eli and co. GB pass rush is no joke!!
In any case, GO BLUE!!!

Looks like temps will easily reach double digits by kickoff Sunday afternoon, so weather will not be an issue.

Not sure how this one plays out, Giants seem to have Green bays number in the playoffs, 2-0 last two AT Lambeau. Eli has beaten both Favre and Rodgers AT Lambeau.
I don't have a warm fuzzy about this game. Green Bays Defensive Backfield is decimated. Beckham could go off for 250yds

Can't wait to watch this game. Watching Collins, Apple, DRC, and Jenkins has been fun over these past four or five weeks.
These guys can flat out ball, as can Rodgers and Nelson.
Cobb can, too, when healthy. Just should be an interesting game.
The Giants OL stinks, though.

My bet is you see a heavy dose of Jared Cook and Ty Montgomery. That would be the matchups in Green Bay's favor.

Just watched the 2007 NFC Championship game. It's available on Youtube, commercial-free. What a game.
This Giants team is very similar to that team with one glaring exception: they can't run the ball the way Brandon Jacobs and Bradshaw could run. Paul Perkins is getting better and better, he did top 100 yards last week, but unless he arrives in the playoffs, this Giants team will have a hard time winning out like that 2007 team did.

Agreed. I think it fully depends on which Eli shows up. Good Eli and the Pack is in big trouble. Thankfully good Eli hasn't been around much this year...probably means he's due.

[SIZE=9pt]As a Giants fan I am really worried about those two guys especially Montgomery coming out of the backfield [/SIZE]

Right. Cook has been pretty good since he made it back from his injury. And Montgomery has some WR skills. Those are the matchups they'll look to exploit. This will be Green Bay's emphasis. How New York handles this will go a long way in determining the game. I also wonder how Green Bay plans to work in Cobb when Geronimo Allison has been playing well lately.

SIG BETS! Oh, wait.
Anyways, I'll be there. Anyone else? I'll take a pm and I'll try to find you and we'll have a beer or 6. Or we'll have booze. Whatevs. I'll be the guy all bundled up in camo.

Be nice to know before these games start for DFS sake, but we might not know? Cobb playing = downgrade Allison. Cobb out = upgrade Allison.

Is Ripkowski playing? What happened to add him to the injury report?

He's questionable - shoulder, just added to the injury list today. No one seems to know anything more.
