It sure seemed that neither team wanted to win that game last night. Maybe neither team wanted to be out in that crappy weather. But, the Giants kept missing field goals and fumbling the ball at mid-field. The Packers, in turn, didn't recover any of those fumbles. Rather, they kept throwing interceptions to try and "even the playing field".
Favre looked like he was actually bothered by the supreme cold. He said after the Chicago game that the cold and wind was bothering him to the point of distraction. Seems like that happened again yesterday. He was missing open throws. Favre played great all year...depressing.
The defense didn't help either. Aside from Al "My head is in my ass" Harris getting burned by Plexi-glass all night long, the defense kept giving free first downs on penalties. I love the in-your-face style of defense they typically play, but the d-line kept jumping offsides and the secondary had more interference/illegal contact/hands to the face penalties that kept so many Giant drives alive. And they always seemed to come on 3rd down...KILLER.
So, now I don't care about the Super Bowl. I hate the Patriots because they are cheaters and Bill Beli-Cheat couldn't be more dull. The Giants just don't have a compelling story to bring me in.
Time to focus on the NFL Draft and College Basketball, I guess.
