Momentum means little. Falcons would have gotten the ball pinned deep, and based on the way their offense is playing, probably would have punted.

They need to take the collar off of Ryan’s neck and let em go. He’s not a rookie or a 2nd year player anymore and w/ talented players like White, Jones Gonzalez they should be putting up points offensively. If they would throw the ball downfield teams would respect that and it’d open up room for Turner to run.

Well, his line is playing pretty poorly
which has given him happy feet. He keeps bailing out of the pocket at the first hint of pressure.

Ive seen a fair number of
Duck passes from Ryan. He isn’t dealing with the pressure well, and isn’t throwing the ball with velocity right now. Giants are seeing this and covering the short stuff. Sooner or later the Falcons are going to have to throw it deep to open up everything else.

It's almost like they intentionally pick losers to win championships.
Across all sports, they routinely pick teams that are slightly better than mediocre to win championships. It’s a striking pattern.
This season they picked the Falcons. Some time ago (year prior to 2004), they picked the Red Sox to win the World Series, which was certainly eyebrow-raising at the time and caused some laughter since Boston didn’t even make the postseason.
I think they finally got one right, but I remember reading, back in high school (in the 90s), that SI had a streak of like 40 straight years picking losers to win the college football championship.
It would be one thing if they picked plausible candidates. But that’s not the case. Their picks usually occasion laughter before the season even starts.
I remember they picked Packers-Chiefs in '96
That wasn’t a bad pick.

Crappy play calling for the Failcons
You have gotten little to no push in the run game when they are expecting it, and in previous games you have failed on 3/4th and short. Power run has not been working all day for you. So why not spread them out and try to run the ball that way? Force them to respect the pass, and if they don’t throw a slant or out for the first.
"So why not spread them out and try to run the ball that way? Force them to respect the pass, and if they don’t throw a slant or out for the first."
Especially since you just spent 95 draft picks to get a big play receiver…
the giants run remind me of how we were last year
1) their playoffs basically started in the regular season when they had to win to get in.
2) their first game was against a good offensive team (at least they got to play at home).
3) second game against the team with the best record in the league.
and that’s were the similarities end because we will fucking kill them next week.

Of course it makes sense.
A good portion of our big passes come off the playaction. You aren’t looking at the big picture. Just because something isn’t effective on the stat sheets doesn’t mean it serves no purpose.
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?!
If you look closely
those playaction plays work whether or not our running game is effective. Or has been established. That’s the issue at hand.
Looking forward to the Packers three-peating and visiting President Ron Paul at the White House in 2013
That's because we do run the ball.
If we never run the ball, then playactions become less effective.

2007 wasn't the last game at Lambeau
If you want to say that was the last time they played each other in the playoffs, ok. But, we also had a QB then who loved to throw game sealing INTs. Just take a look at his last playoff game with the Vikes.
Last year was the last time played at Lambeau, and it happened to be a win for us. True, the Pack played at MetLife and barely won, but it was still a hard fought victory. It’s not going to be an easy game for either team.

You’re citing a team that is used to losing and used to self-deprecating. Humility is good, yes, but to be constantly self-deprecating? Right now, we’re the #1 seed, playing at home, have a 15-1 record, and have already beaten the Giants on your home turf this year. Let me ask you this. If the shoes were reversed and the Giants were the #1 seed, 15-1, reigning SB champs, and had already beaten their next playoff opponent earlier in the year, how do you think your fanbase would act? You mentioned earlier on my post below that you’re coming off a monster win and are excited about it, which I can understand completely. But honestly, you came over here, and said that. I could see if we had multiple people going over to BBV and talking smack, not giving the G-Men credit and dissing them at every turn, but we’re not. A lot of people here have mentioned plenty of times in the past few weeks that the Giants are the main team that we fear the most. Almost everyone here has a lot of respect for them.

They've already got pregame on CBS
it’s supposed to start at 3:30 Central, so it will be less than an hour, probably.

Neither do the Giants fans
The bravado goes both ways. I was looking at one of the new stories on BBV and not a single Giants fan was worried about next week. I’m not going to say I’m not, because it’s the playoffs. Anything’s possible. But I think that GB, with home field advantage, and no Brett, still has a very good chance of beating them. Our D may give up yards, but they still make a lot of plays on the ball. Our D still has the most INTs in the league, don’t forget.

Forgive me for being confident that the best player in the
league will do a little better than scrape through a win at home in January.
All is vanity.
Look at it this way...
1. The giants couldn’t beat the packers at home while the packers were missing their starting middle linebackers, their all pro right gaurd, and their starting left tackle. What is supposed to make me think that the Packers can’t do better with all of those conditions remedied? I don’t take the field so I can be as cocky and complacent as I please.
All is vanity.
This is going to be a good week of back and forth...
I can tell already.

Giants missing Osi
Tuck was more injured than he is now and much less effective. Our Oline was in a state of flux. Giants are healthier and more cohesive than at any point this season. It works both ways.
Victor Cruz is the 2011 Ahmad Bradshaw. He giveth, and he taketh away. Thankfully he is giving much more now.

Osi didn't play in our first game...
It will be a great battle. There Oline seems to be gelling…
Looking forward to the Packers three-peating and visiting President Ron Paul at the White House in 2013
And Morgan Brunett was still playing with a club.
The Packers will demolish this team in the most lopsided victory in franchise history.

haha...like the confidence...
I’m a little worried how Clifton and Bulaga man the outside against these guys. I think our D will be better, healthier all around as well…Hawk and Bishop were out in that game.
Also Josh Sitton was out. So I still think we win by about 10 points…

Really??
Did you just compare this guy to an all-pro caliber DE like Osi?? And the funny thing is, Osi is the Giants THIRD best DE after JPP and Tuck. And he’s still a top 7 DE.

Well,
the bad news is that I will probably miss most if not all of the game on sunday because I’ll be at a wedding. The good news is that I am now a lot less nervous about it after seeing the pathetic display that was the giants’ offense (they only started scoring after Atlanta had folded). Feeling pretty confident about the game.

The hubris on this page is incredible
this could have been a fantastic game, although I heard that since the Giants don’t even have a theoretical chance of winning they are planning to forfeit in order to not risk any more injuries heading into the offseason. It’s too bad, but I can see the logic in not wasting any time or manpower in what would obviously be a futile gesture.

Again, both ways
I said it in a reply to Tommy D as well. I’ve been reading through BBV and NO one on your site is concerned about next weeks matchup. This is an open thread where people joke around for the most part. When it comes to the “Ask a team” threads, people are a lot more reasonable. Please don’t come into another teams house and insult them for being jokingly optimistic when everyone on your page is doing the same exact thing.

Yeah
in a thread immediately after a dominating performance, people are feeling good. If you think anyone is confident of a victory, you need to read a few more threads on our site this week. Predicting a win is one thing, being condescending towards the other team is hubris. I guarantee you nobody will insult the Packers abilities or teams. We’ll look for places we think they can beat the Packers, but there will be nothing but respect. Big difference.

To be perfectly honest, I think you are being unreasonable.
You guys just won a playoff game that you should be excited about, and the first thing you do is come and flame your next opponent in an Open Thread, which if you’ve spent any time at APC at all (which you obviously haven’t) calls for a lot of jokes and hilarious/unrelated gifs and pictures. This isn’t the best place to come to and immediately start shouting “HUBRIS” and declare all Packers fans as cocky and disrespectful towards their opponent, neither of which are true. Seriously, go celebrate with your fans, you deserve it.
Good times never seemed so good!

That's flaming?
Wow, and people think I am heavy handed in my judgements of posts.
Coming on to an opposing team's board
and telling it’s members that they’re too confident in their team is just a degree under flaming.
All is vanity.

Saying you might be over confident is flaming, or a near equivalent? You guys really need to re-assess what flaming is… seriously.
I just went over to BBV to check who thought was gonna win
Every Giants fan there said the Giants were gonna win, but yet WE are the ones who are overconfident? That my friend, is flaming.
