Well, the moon , the stars and the sun lined up perfectly for "Big Blue " and the end result a convincing and honestly a demoralizing win over the defending champion(15-1) Packers. Eli, Nicks the defense...Oh my God! A win the Giants have to consider one of their most gratifying ever! And let's not forget , perhaps the biggest play of all, "the Tyree type catch " by Nicks on the "Hail Mary " at the end of the first half. Shocking play. In reality, the Packers "D " did look weak on the play...Not the Ravens for sure.
But perhaps the most astounding observation of today's game was the fact that for the first time maybe ever, Rodgers was visibly shaken and frazzled . Was it the pressure of the front four, the dropped passes, his poor throws to open targets, the fumbles , the Giants offense putting big numbers on the board or the cumulative effect of all of the above ? End result , huge "W " for the Giants...Long winter for Rodgers and the Pack.
Rodgers is a gamer and a great QB , and will be back . But it goes to show you just how truly difficult it is to repeat in the NFL .
So tonight there will be some victory celebration while traveling home in style for the Jints...Tommorrow off, and then time to start preparing for their trip to Candlestick Park.
Only one game away now. Can you taste it?
