Packers Over Giants: Top 5 Defensive Plays Of The Game

Yes, I'm going to try to find five good defensive plays by the Green Bay Packers during their win over the Giants. See the descriptions after the jump.
First Quarter
(2:53) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass short left to 28-D.Ware to GB 20 for -4 yards (93-E.Walden).
This play was on 2nd and 2 from the Packers 16 yard line. Erik Walden got the tackle, but the Packers just blew this play up. Maybe if it had just been an incompletion, the Giants would have tried something else on third and short. Instead, with 3rd and 6, Eli Manning took a shot in the end zone and the Giants are probably still grumbling about the touchdown that got away.
Second Quarter
(15:00) 10-E.Manning pass short left intended for 44-A.Bradshaw INTERCEPTED by 52-C.Matthews at NYG 38. 52-C.Matthews for 38 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
Beast mode!!!
(:32) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning sacked at NYG 41 for -7 yards (52-C.Matthews). FUMBLES (52-C.Matthews), RECOVERED by GB-90-B.Raji at GB 49. 90-B.Raji to 50 for 1 yard (76-C.Snee). Officially, a sack for 0 yards. The Replay Assistant challenged the fumble ruling, and the play was Upheld.
Beast mode v.2!!!
Fourth Quarter
(11:05) (Shotgun) 10-E.Manning pass incomplete deep right to 88-H.Nicks (26-C.Peprah, 38-T.Williams).
Well, it forced them to settle for a 50 yard field goal instead of another touchdown.
(8:13) 10-E.Manning pass incomplete deep right to 88-H.Nicks (37-S.Shields).
I think this was the play where Sam Shields knocked down a perfectly thrown pass down the right sidelines. This was a first down play, and it was the only time in the second half when the Giants went three-and-out.

Strip-sack
But only because it got me Cheesestradamus points
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance

because it was thing of beauty
Not only was a strip sack – they legally high-lowed Manning.
When I saw Shields' pass defense.
The first thought I had was about that horrid defense on the Nicks fade route for a td.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!

You’re right, Brandon. This was the play where Shields went full extension with his arm to deflect the pass and help force a three-and-out.

I wish he hadn't been thoroughly victimized on the game-tying TD.
That was seriously ugly.

So are people actually voting for something other than the pick 6?
That’s like voting for someone other than Rodgers for MVP

I went for the sack/fumble, it came while the Giants were driving right before halftime and stole away the momentum.

True, but if I recall correctly off the top of my head, the pick 6 put us up for the first time
And happened while the offense was still badly struggling, plus the fumble never materialized into points and the Giants hadn’t crossed the 50 yet, therefore it meant little more than a stop on 3rd down would have in the same situation

The INT was early in the game, and it happened way back in Giants territory. It was a big play but stopping the surging Giants from taking the momentum before half is HUGE

Not getting any points off the strip-sack
kept me from voting it. I understand how important it was, but missing 3 there, i kept thinking that could come back to bite. Getting 7 on the Matthews INT made the difference.
Scowling at Padres Losses since 1981
In a game that would ultimately be decided by 3 points,
I don’t know how anyone can pick a play other than Matthews pick-6.
Watching the Cubs piss it away for 31 years.
Pick 6..
Ranks up there with the Raji and Al Harris pick sixes

Though I didn't get to see it...
Gotta go with the pick six. Seems to me like the only thing to me that would’ve topped it would’ve been if Raji took it the 51 yards!

Woodson taking it would have been better
That record needs to fall soon. Dude’s not getting younger, even if he does play like he is.
So true...
I hope Woodson takes it too. He deserves it

Defense?
We don’t need no freaking defense!
(Let’s hope)
Seems Greg Walden doesn't....
have any friends in Green Bay right now. Zero votes.
Greg?
Umm…ok

All that matters is that we have Ted W McMoran as our head coach though!

I say the most important member of the team is Mason Masthay.
December, 7 1941 may be a day that lives in infamy, but December 6, 2011 is a day that will live in AWESOMENESS!!! The day I became part owner of the Green Bay Packers!
In Cheese We Trust
I gotta go with Tim Goode, myself.
"Perfection is not attainable,
but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
"It's a great day to be great, baby!"
Skol is a four-letter word.
The Munsters of the Midway still suck!
The Williams forcing incompletion was actually Peprah plastering Nicks in the endzone.
That was about the only good thing CP did all game.
Packers' Magic Numbers:
Clinch Division = DONE!!!
Clinch 1st Rd Bye = 1
Clinch Homefield = 3
Surprised the "non" TD wasn't listed
I thought Burnett surely saved a TD completion to Ballard by pushing him in the back on the pass from Manning. Given how close Ballard came to scoring—reviewed for a while and all the hoopla since with still pics and whatnot—that push was huge. I would still choose Mathews’ INT for TD cause that was worth 6 pts versus Burnett’s play worth 4pts. (TD vs. FG)
