Oh my.

Denver 16, NY Giants 0

It’s safe to assume I didn’t see this coming.

I'm loving it

I even picked denver…. I’d do so much better in pick pools if I didn’t always pick whatever would make life easiest for me as a packer fan.

The time for reckoning has come, and we already have the answer

All we need is a Phli loss

But washington at home is unlikely. Giants losing is good that drops them out of the second wild card spot.

I'm fine with philly sticking with us. There's room for two wild card teams.

Giants offense doing absolutely nothing tonight

6 points on 2 FG’s

Jacobs has been terrible this year

10 carries for 23 yards? ugh.

I looked at his stats

and what’s amazing is that in their 6 wins he played horribly, averaging 3.4 yards per carry on 18.6 carries a game – but they still won; while in the 4 losses, he’s been the dominant force he used to be, with 5.2 YPC on only 12 carries a game. Just weird. I guess tonight’s game is a different story.

Anyway, good for us. I’m very confident we can clinch the wild-card spot.

Giants seriously look done

Our path to the playoffs appears to be getting a little clearer.

Oh, and screw the Giants. Whenever I look at Eli Manning I see the asshole who took away ‘our’ NFC title.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Whenever you look at Eli Manning you see Brett Favre? Weird.

I kid, I kid.

Let's face it

We were fortunate to be even in overtime with the Giants. Tynes could have made any one of those two field goals and Favre couldn’t have done his thing.

I picked the Giants

They had played in a couple close games the past two weeks against playoff contenders, while Denver had looked clueless recently, topped off by getting clobbered last week against the Chargers. The Giants just couldn’t get their offense going at all in the game.

Still, it’s much better to see the Broncos win. Now the Packers lead the Giants by a game for the wild card, and not just by a tie breaker.

It's nice to have the packers

in the driver’s seat for a playoff birth. We’ll probably lose to the Steelers and go 11-5. I was thinking about how insane it would be though if the Packers wound up going to the Metrodome for a playoff game this year.
