Giant Memories: Looking At The Packers Win Over The Giants Back In December

Mike McCarthy: "I Thought It Was Awesome" - Acme Packing Company. When the Green Bay Packers beat the Giants back in December, it was a game where the team who had the ball last won it. The Packers had the final possession, ran the two minute drill to perfection, and Mason Crosby kicked the game winning field goal.
Before that final drive, what I remember was that Aaron Rodgers had little help. His receivers were dropping passes, and the defense was awful. LT Marshall Newhouse was absolutely destroyed by DE Jason Pierre-Paul, and it makes the switch to the now healthy LT Chad Clifton seem like a very good idea.
As a team, it was one of their worst games, and only a great game from Rodgers got them the win. If his teammates show up next weekend as they usually do at home, then they'll be a much better team than the one that escaped New York with a 3 point victory a few weeks back.

Point for you to ponder: The Giants play better on the road. This season and historically.

I think having Clifton back is going to be a huge difference..
Also, weren’t Hawk and Bishop out that game as well? Originally, I was really nervous about this match up. But after thinking about it, I’m feeling a lot more confident. Getting those guys back, in addition to it being at Lambeau, I think we can take this one fairly easy. Not blowout easy, but where the win is never in doubt.

how long can Cliffy go?
Clifton is an upgrade, but JPP is all world this year. I say he still needs help via TE or FB/HB chipping, but Chad has the experience that Newhouse does not. Here’s hoping Cliffy puts in a complete game.
we get a lot more back than just Clifton
Jennings and Starks are supposed to be back as well, and after sitting the Detroit game, guys like Matthews and Woodson and others have had several weeks of rest. We should be about as healthy as we’ve been in a while – which is obviously a good thing for us

More confident than I probably should be
I know the Giants have the potential to be a very very good team but after watching that last game, I felt like the Packers shot themselves in the foot and the Giants played about as well as they can (Giants fans might complain otherwise) and the Packers still played pretty darn well. I don’t expect Rodgers to throw another INT that was basically a pick 6, but I do expect Eli to do that. If the Packers can avoid the huge play, especially to the non-elite players, like their TEs on the first drive… then I really don’t think the Packers will lose. Especially if the offensive line has a good game or the pass rush has a good day. If one of those two things happen, I think it will be a route.
But again, the Giants have a TON of talent, I just don’t think they’re that good of a team, compared to the talent they have. I can see the Packers getting Jennings, Clifton, and Starks back after numerous weeks off, being a potential issue for the Packers and their timing/performance.

Agree
For some reason this Giants team doesn’t scare me as a “team” despite the talent level at certain positions. They barely won the crappiest division in the NFC.
Like every other NFL team,
the Giants are not the same team now that they were in Sept, Oct, Nov. Each team evolves. And what is coming to GB is the best Giants team of 2011. They are peaking at the right time.
And when I say peaking, I mean they are reaching their highest potential here at the end of the season. Now their highest potential may not be good enough to beat you guys, or the Saints, or whoever, but I am armed with the confidence that my team is playing at a very high level and in each of the last three weeks has been getting better and better.
Not to mention healthy on the Dline, which outside of the QB, is where our GM likes to build a championship. Three game wreckers from the DE position will be targeting AR. And the DT’s Chris Canty and Linval Joseph are one step below beast.

I can't disagree with that
the Giants very well could be playing their best football of the season right now. However, even with that, they looked awfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll in the first half on Sunday.
The Giants DLine is fantastic, however as you just mentioned, they have 5 good defensive line players… unless they’re playing a 5-2-4 defense, one of their top 5 defensive players will be on the sideline at all times. On offense, Nicks is a beast, however he disappears at times for long stretches. I don’t really think Cruz is that good, I think he’s gotten lucky this year with a lot of his receptions just being broken coverage that he runs for 50 yards. I easily could be wrong on that though, that’s just the impression I get from him, maybe he proves me wrong next year and for years to come. Eli is still hit-or-miss in my book. He can literally make every throw, whether or not it ends up in his WRs hands or not, is another story. His WRs also don’t do him any favors with all his drops.
It’s just with all the talent the Giants have, I don’t think it’s spread out enough within the team. The Giants definitely can beat the Packers, but it would take a collapse on the Packers part more than a huge step up on the Giants for it to happen, in my opinion

what does my opinion have to do with anything
that happens on the field Sunday? I can overlook you all I want (I am not, simply stating how I think your team has much more “shortcomings” than you believe) and it will have nothing to do with what happens on the field Sunday.
Not to mention, the last now 3 times we’ve played in the last 2 seasons, no team’s fans have been cockier than the Giants and you’re lost both games to us. So maybe you need to stop overlooking yourselves?

I know my teams shortcomings. I also know cockiness from a fanbase. I’m here to state my confidence in my teams CHANCE of winning and have some heated debate with you guys.

Its ironic,
that most teams have somehow managed to overlook the defending SB champions, which is fine by me. If you read the posts every week, everybody has an excuse why the Packers could or should lose. It started with week one against the Saints. Frankly, everyone outside this fan base has anxiously awaited the SB hangover which, mysteriously, never occurred. Yes, our defense has its weaknesses. Yes, our O-line has struggled at times. We’re far from perfect and that mentality has kept this team hungry.
It will be strength against strength when Rodgers drops back to pass. You have the QB (Rodgers) that gets rid of the ball faster than anyone in the NFL (including Brees) against a tough Giants D-line. I think Rodgers can negate a great pass rush better than just about anyone with his head and his legs. I think your run game has improved. If Ross is out, it will be a significant hit. And turnovers, who can forget turnovers…….unpredictable but often deciding the outcome. Should be a good game.

How do you think GB will approach protection?
Who will get help on the line, where will the protection slide?
I ask because there is not a team left in the playoffs who our Dline is not a mismatch for. While a few teams like the Pack have multiple WR’s that scare opposing defenses, you can make the comparision that the Giants Dline can be viewed in that context on the defensive side of the ball.
And in that aspect we are unigue. And healthy. There has not been a Dline anything like what you are about to see this Sunday. Thinking from your POV, I would think if you can get a seal from the center over on either the left or the right side on enough passing plays, that should afford AR an opportunity to find a throwing lane and an open man.

Cautiouslly optimistic..
Look, no matter how loud the east coast biased media bark that the Giants defense is better than it was blah,blah, blah..the facts are that this is a 10-7 team that until this playoff blowout, had given up more points than it scored. The Green and Gold should get it done.

Wells is soild
The rest are above average but not without question marks. Bulaga and Clifton were hurt. Sitton was at a pro bowl level last year but to me has slipped a little this year.
It will help to be at home and not have crowd noise to deal with. Personally I think there has been too much emphasis on the NY d-line vs the Packer o-line. I know it’s a big strength of your team, but with Rodgers escapability and the Packers 4 and 5 receiver sets, I don’t think pressure on Rodgers will be a big issue.
I am more concerned about the Packer defense covering Nicks, Cruz, Manningham all while trying to shut down the run. The Packer defense has scared the crap of of me this year.

Yes, you r defense gives me some confidence.
They give up chunks of yards, long drives, etc., but the big play ability of your defense will be on my mind despite any success we may have.

It’s had to imagine the Packers playing worse than they did the last time in NY against the Giants. I stopped counting the dropped passes at 6. The pass defense in the middle of the field was horrible with Hawk and Bishop out that game. RG Josh Sitton and LT Chad Clifton were both out and were replaced with players with little game experience. Having them back will help against the Giants d-line, especially with Umenyiora back. With both teams healthy this time around…barring a rash of injuries and/or turnovers to one team, I expect it to be another high scoring, close game where the team with the ball last probably wins…again.
you seem to not have read what I said
WHO you play matters more than when you play them. However, when you play them obviously matter too.
I’d rather play the Colts when they’re playing their best football than playing the 49ers when they’re playing average football.
Also, with the exception of the first game the Packers played without their best WR, they have played better than most teams on any given week

I have faith in my team, but I'm still going to be on edge until Sunday night
The Giants are the one NFC team that would make me inconsolable if they beat us in the playoffs. I could come to terms with the Saints and even the ‘9ers. I just don’t think the Giants that good of a team. Their luck exceeds their talent; kind of like how I viewed Chicago last year. But yeah, they’re probably my most hated NFC team. They’re freaking trolls, I tell you.
We should win this game if our receivers are on the same page as Rodgers and don’t drop their passes like last time. I think Jennings will be amped up to be back and have a 3 TD day. I know writers are trying to push the narrative that the Giants are following the script from ‘07-’08, but it needs to be remembered that this time, we have Rodgers, not Favre. That’s all I need to know.

I still don’t think that the Giants are an elite NFC team, but I sure as hell wish we were playing the Falcons on Sunday.

Luck, we hear it all the time.
The Giants don’t get much respect and it is nothing new. It’s built in the collective narrative since the days of playing insane defense and ball control offense under Bill Parcells while beating the finesse teams like the Broncos, 49ers (who were finesse on O only), and the Bills in Super Bowls.
When you have never had the prettiest QB and offense for 30 years, yet still achieve the ultimate success multiple times, some folks like yourself try to downplay, discredit, or whatever you want to call it, their triumphs.
Luck…. meh…. heard it before

No worries
Pack has all the motivation needed.
With the onslaught of Giants hysteria remember.
Pack played very flat in last Game.Cream still rose to top.
No Bishop,Pickett or Hawk, Woodson concussion, lots of drops.
We are so due for a great complete game.
Everyone now thinks we are overrated and one dimensional.
Giants came close in LAST game to save face after last year and played tough because they were humiliated in NO and were desperate. Playing in NY at night with drunk crowd helped G men that night to hang in there.
Since then all the Giant fans have come out of woodwork again and are sounding more and more each day like the Jets fans, disrespectful, and way overconfident and delusional.
Great D? Sure against Jets,Dallas and Falcons?
So let them and the media continue talk about how bad we are at the worst time. disrespect US. Deep in my heart I trust that WE will play the complete game this week..
I can not wait because I am sick of hearing this. At the end of the day while everyone seems to be doubting us. Packer fans do not. Silent pride my friends. And if you need one thing to remember. Aaron will not do anything stupid like Bret. Just ckheck out what Bart Starr said about the two. That says it all!
GO PACK GO
Still celebrating yesterdays win, so im just now starting to venture to these parts..
I haven’t heard all this “disrespect” that u speak of. If its BSPN u are referring to then consider the source.
Im not going to confuse ur confidence for disrespect. ..
Great D? Sure against Jets,Dallas and Falcons?
2 of them teams were top ten Os, so I wouldn’t say chopped liver. Our D is just coming around now due to a change in D philosophy(finally). N the health of Osi and Tuck.

"We’re going to win,’’ said Jason Pierre-Paul, according to the Post. "One hundred percent we’re going to win … because we’re the best.’’
You know, JPP, that’s not Marshall Newhouse across from you next week. And Aaron Rodgers is neither Matt Ryan nor Tony Romo. And this game is not in MetLife Jets Stadium. And Charles Woodson’s head feels fine. And A.J. Hawk and Desmond Bishop feel good as well.
Note to JPP: 13-1 means you’re the best. Not 9-7.

Frankly, Umenyiora’s quote from the same piece was quite respectable:

Maybe just not enough for a 15-1 defending champ team
I hear you but the National TV, NY media, and fans are acting as if the Pack should be scared underdogs. Considering how up and down the Giants have been says they are starting to get a bit full of themselves.. I guess I have had my fill of NY BS this year with Jets. Did not hear a word after some of their many stinkers this year and rarely have they beat someone when it counts or someone that is tough. As for the 3 teams. Beating them was like kissing your sister

I’ll be the first to say that the Giants have a good football team and any team has a chance to win on any given Sunday. If you want to wipe the records clean and pick and choose games irrationally to give the Giants a better record than GB, I think even your own fan base would think you’re deluding yourself. When you line up across from the other man the record is 0-0, for both teams. No one cares about last weeks game at Atlanta, which is why I said……… if it makes you sleep better at night.

but some fans do.
I am sure MM put the trophy in the middle of the room and showed the team that it can’t actually make a tackle.

Final Thought
Pack won 15 games this season because we showed up to play every game, and were prepared.. We did not have any out of nowhere losses to teams that stunk. We will show up again and be prepared. Thank you to all of the players and coaches!!!!
Very optimistic about this game
The Giants dominated the Falcons due to the Falcons ineptitude on both sides (For their defense in the second half). A high school team could have beaten the Falcons the way they played yesterday. And its not like the Giants have been dominating the past 3 weeks. The Jets self destructed, the Cowboys folded, and the Falcons never showed up.
Like others have mentioned, having Cliffy, Sitton, Hawk, Bishop, and Starks back will help us in this game. And the refs at our house will not let their DB’s and LB’ers hold our receivers after 5 yards on every play.
I dont see this as the case.
The Jets self destructed, the Cowboys folded, and the Falcons never showed up.
2 of them teams were fighting for their playoff lives and the other was a playoff game. Just good solid play by the G men. I expect a solid game from both teams prob coming down to who ever has the ball last . like last time.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.

I expect solid play from both teams as well
Not to take anything away from the Giants, but they haven’t exactly played the best football teams out there in that 3 game stretch. The last 3 games they missed too many opportunities that a good team would exploit.
Lions had their opportunities to beat the Saints, but they didn’t take advantage of them. Same goes for the Bengals against the Texans. In the Giants last three games, I have seen a lot of plays left on the field from the Giants.
I suppose the Packers never leave plays on the field.
Giants have dominated the last three teams they have faced. Not every quarter of every game over the last three, but they have dominated and won convincingly. Give a little credit?

Never said that
Every team leaves at least some plays out there. Its just I don’t see the Giants as this huge monster that is peaking and one of the greatest teams out there, as a lot of the media pundits are saying.
The Giants have played in a playoff type atmosphere the last few weeks and won, and I give them credit for that. Its never easy to win a game when you know it may be your last if you don’t. But I stand by my earlier statement; neither the Jets, Cowboys, or Falcons have impressed me near the end of the season.
So they beat pretty good , not great teams
soundly down the stretch?
Thats what good teams do … no?

So what happened in that Redskins game?
You beat some good defenses, I’ll give the Giants credit for that. But the Jets offense was anemic when you played them, the Cowboys QB was playing with a bruised hand that appear to affect his playing ability, and the Falcons offense couldn’t get out of its own way.
The Jets have Mark Sanchez at QB, just saying. No comparison to Rodgers there. You guys did dominated the Cowboys OL, but their OL is not as good as ours IMO. Plus, Romo’s hand limited him somewhat it looked like. And while you dominated the Falcons offense, lets not kid ourselves about the Falcons offense. Who exactly have they beaten?
I hate playing the "qualify the opponents" game.
Why bother, they won’t be impressed until we show them something to be impressed by.
And that can only happen this Sunday at 4:30

Thank God for the Giants hype.
I hope it brings the betting line down below the -8.5 it’s at right now. Just can’t put money on the Pack at more than a touchdown favorite with McCarthy’s love of 4th Q prevent defense, but I’m way more confident of this game than I was in ‘07/’08 NFC Champ.
Chad Clifton’s return is a huge deal. The fact that he doesn’t consistently need help with JPP or Osi allows Finley to concentrate on running the middle of the field against slow-footed Chase Blackburn.
Two weeks of rest (thanks, Lions!) for the banged-up guys is huge. James Starks, welcome back to your second playoff coming-out party.

Pretty Confident
1. Although they are playing fairly well this is a team that lost twice to the Redskins.
2. Their secondary is Swiss cheese. Matt Ryan played scared and never challenged the Giants corners/safeties.
3. JPP is an idiot. Is something wrong with the water in NY. Is every player/coach an arrogant prick?

Nope
But it does take excellent ball placement in order to connect on a seam route. Something those three haven’t shown to be able to consistently do.
Well it dont like they had much trouble vs everyone else.
Dustin Keller 815yds
Jason Witten 942 yds
Tony Gonzalez 875 yds

Look at their average ypc
Keller – 12.5
Jason – 11.9
Tony – 10.9
Now look at the top 2 TE’s in the game
Graham – 13.2
Gronkowski -14.7
And for further comparison, 2 good TE’s with different QB’s
Finley – 13.9
Davis – 11.8
See any difference? The TE’s with better QB’s had higher averages. This tells you that they consistently got more yards on each catch, either due to good run after catch, or by the route/throw. Obviously the system they play in and surrounding weapons have an effect on these numbers, but the QB play affects these numbers as well.

It's the NFL, no game is a gimme and obviously, the Giants earned their past three wins.
I’m not one of the people saying the Giants don’t stand a chance, all I’m arguing is the idea that because you guys shut down your previous three TE’s, you’ll shut down Finley. It could be a defensive change of philosophy, it could be going against three mediocre QB’s. Also, is it possible that the TE’s were limited because they had to assist in chipping JPP? (Serious question, because I only caught bits of each game)

Chipping is a factor but u can do that with a back.
Honestly the LBs (Boley &Rookie J Williams ) have flat out been taking them away. Not saying that will be the case next week but its a good bet Rodgers will be going else where with the ball.

Holy crap, when did we turn into a yahoo message board? Anyway back to level headed SBN style commenting like we usually see here on APC
This should be a good matchup, a few things make me confident about it:
Over the last two seasons the Packers have only lost one home game
The Packers are healthier than the Giants and healthier than the first time they faced each other
Rodgers has proven a few weeks ago that Ryan couldn’t handle and now with Clifton back he should feel a little less pressure from JPP, although Clifton isn’t perfect and elite rushers are tough against any OT
The Packers have shown over the last two games that they can refocus a little after the whole being undefeated pressure is lifted
JPP “guaranteeing” a win, the win guarantee worked out once for Nameth and he is remembered for it but that was lucky of him that the Colts weren’t motivated by it, really playoffs should be enough motivation and a good team playing well beats and lesser team playing equally well or an equal team not playing as well in spite of motivation but that extra bulletin board material is an easy way for a coach to focus that motivation. Good player, dumb move

I think that's why he said mentality...
Overall, I think everyone is going to agree that the “experts” are going to have GB as the favorites. But also, there is going to be a lot of talk of how NY is the hot hand right now. That, and little things like JPP guaranteeing the victory, I think can get them in the mindset of being underdogs to an extent. That said, one quote, or even anything said by anyone, shouldn’t be needed as motivation going into the game. I’m sure McCarthy and co. are all fired up already. This is going to be a hell of a game!

The part of the quote that you used makes it sound like he was saying that if Rodgers gets concussed that he my a pull a Flynn.

And if the 2nd one is what it meant, I don’t see what’s so rude about it.

Main Pass Rush Difference
Couple things are being overlooked between the Giants pass rush and the “KC model” of winning against the Pack.
1. Rodgers has excellent pocket presence and his ability to evade pass rushers is sometimes overlooked.
2. KC generated a pass rush AND locked down the receivers. Giants secondary is banged up and/or not as talented as KC’s.
3. Ball control/possession. The Giants had an awful rushing team during the regular season. Was this Sunday an aberration?
by alpo on Jan 9, 2012 11:28 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
I whole heatedly agree on the first two
But the third one, I think Bradshaw being injured as Jacobs tiptoeing while he was out hurt the numbers. The Giants are an ok rushing team with a good runner in Bradshaw and a good runner when he feels

We do some things better, and are comparable to GB, but I would love to hear his reasoning.
You know what often happens is that when a team thumps somebody in the WC round, people forget about the #1 or #2 seed because they haven’t seen them play on the previous Sunday and start to focus on the thumping teams positives.

If the Pack tackles as badly as the Falconheads did,
it will still be a game. Face it, Atlanta was an effing embarrassment on defense. If our Dline can slow down Jacobs and the rest can wrap up on tackles, NY gets hosed.
Statistics: A bunch of numbers looking around for an argument. G. Burgy, Rockville, MD
For all the injuries GB had last time, the Giants were also playing without some key players.
Outside receiver Mario Manningham and center David Baas missed the game. Back-up Mitch Petrus was at LG and Kevin Boothe at center. Plus, they played without Osi Umenyiora and lost safety Kenny Phillips during the game.
They relied on street free agents LB Chase Blackburn (who’s played consistently since then) and DB Will Blackmon (who’s our PR now) to get lots of playing time days after joining the team. Plus, S Tyler Sash got more playing time on defense than normal.
Michael Boley played his first game coming back from a hamstring issue as well.
