Plus, the Giants will own the tiebreaker & could only lose that tiebreaker by losing to the Eagles & you guys beating them,,,

Dude, I’m not saying that the Redskins will catch the Giants (we should be happy they just won two in a row!), but I think you have an incorrect idea of what NFL tiebreaker rules would be if the Redskins “luckily” beat the Giants this Monday night.

First tie breaker is: head to head record. If Skins win next week, the head to head record would be 1-1-.

Second time breaker is: divisional record: Currently Giants are 2-2; Skins are 2-1. If Skins beat Giants next week, then the Redskins have a clear inside track vs. the Giants in divisional record. Skins would be at 3-1; Giants at 2-3.

Finally, it’s funny that you say that the Skins would require “luck” to beat the Giants. In the first game in NJ, Giants only won on a last second bomb when Skins secondary screwed up. Legit Giants win, but don’t make it sound like you dominated the game…you didn’t.

Hey, I’m a Redskins fan and I still think the Giants are better and that they’ll win the division. But I just had to correct you on a few errors there.

It is tough being a Patriots fan, when all you want is to see the Giants in the Super Bowl this year – and no one else but the Giants.

However, seeing that even though the Giants clearly play down to their competition, they play up to it as well and unless you have perfect balance on offense, they are almost unbeatable with that line in a meaningful game.

Anyone going to mention that Rodgers hold onto the ball for nearly 10 seconds, tiring out his o line? Rodgers is not a good QB he can throw on weak defenses with loose coverage and no pass rush but add a bump at the line and add some pressure on the line and he shts his panties.

The path to the superbowl for the Packers is clear. They have to win the North and then hope someone with an offensive line beats the Giants. The Pack does not match up well against the Giants. The Giants are an average offense, mediocre secondary and they live off their talented pass rush. The Packers can scheme for one great rusher (ie JJ Watt) but cannot hold off the Giants talented group. Lang and Newhouse can barely even slow them down let alone block them. So, the Pack need to win the North (where they still control their own destiny) and hope that Atlanta or San Fran can knock off the Giants for them.

Funny how a team who was talking about “unwritten rules” not too long ago was trying to run up the score.

A funny thing happened in the NFL yesterday. Eli led the Giants and Kaepernick led the 49ers offensive lines to victory.

But the unusual thing was really how both defenses (italicized) completely shut down the play of two elite QBs. Rodgers and Brees respectively.

I watched both games and it was odd to see such a look on the faces of Rodgers and Brees. Not sure whether to call it desperation or despair but in any case, it was rare to see the lack of confidence from both. Nothing they did seemed to work.

Jay Cutler doesn’t play defense

It was a great showing by the Giants both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. It was evident that the D-Line got to Rodgers quick and early as they totally affected his play throughout the game.

Next up, the Skins on Monday night. Should be another good game.

Please, stop all the accolades to Eli. We have seen several times when the Giants’ defense has a day off and there’s pressure on him to keep up with the opposing offense, he looks like a below average QB. Show me he can not only lead his team to the best record in the league with a pathetic defense, but to the SB like Brady, Rogers, Brees and P. Manning have done, then he’s in the conversation with the aforementioned great QBs. No one gave Brady all of this praise when the Pats had a good defense that helped them won 3 SBs.

Trent Differ for crying out loud won a SB with the Ravens’ killer defense.

That is the most thoroughly I’ve seen the Packers get whipped since McCarthy took over as coach. JPP and Osi made the Packers O-line look silly. The defense sucks when it can’t get pressure, and without Matthews getting double teamed it’s rare that another Packer defender can get through… but that OL got exposed last night. The Packers will still make the playoffs, but they aren’t going to make it deep in January until they figure out a way to get Rodgers some time in the Pocket.

It’s interesting to see how Aaron Rodgers looked when his offensive line couldn’t protect him. Every quarterback in the league will face hardship if their blockers aren’t doing their job.

What really bothers me is that some quarterbacks get a pass while others are given the same excuse. For example, Jay Cutler is sacked more than any quarterback in the league but it’s always his ‘attitude’ that costs his team a W.

But, last night’s dud for Rodgers was blamed on his offensive line. I get it, his line didn’t block well making his job even more difficult then it already is. Moving forward please do not spare others of your criticism if it’s deserving and refrain from blaming others just because of your hidden grudge.

No excuses here and no complaints about running up the score, a good football team doesn’t take their foot off the gas. Eli is a great quarterback and we got it handed to us last night but he should make sure there’s a little something in each of his lineman’s locker because they sure helped him look good. You don’t look so good when you have to run for your life almost every play. Ask Rodgers about that.

Im sorry but when ur oline is horrific facing the best front 4 that has lead a team to two superbowls then obviously you should qin unless ur QB has a terrible game. Also the pack have some front 7 issies they need to clean up to even have a chance to make the playoffs.goes to show that It doesnt matter how good your QB is if you protect him and run the ball well too.

Good win against the Packers. Next up a rising Redskin team…This week the Giants hosted a Make a Wish kid, who spoke to the team. He told them to Play like Champions…Coach C even mentioned him in the post game news conference. We need to bring the kid back next week…I love it, a kid tells them to Play like Champions and they do…Out of the mouths of babes!

The Packers will be fine, people need to stop the slamming! Its just pain annoying. They just lost A GAME coming off a 5 game winning streak. Once they get healthy and start getting players back they should make a solid run in the play-offs. They have been injured all year and have done more with rookies and 2nd and 3rd string players than most teams in the NFL could even deal with. No worries, they will win the NFC North and be solid contenders this year. Good job Giants, hopefully they meet again when the game is actually a big deal. This one was an inconvenient loss but not one that is going to shape their season. GO PACK GO!

I’ll never understand the love fest for Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, they are mediocre receivers. Rodgers must be happy to be getting Jennings back in the line up next week.

Packers 10
Themselves/Ourselves 38

The Giants did not beat them.

Those poor Packers.

Half their starting linebackers were out.

75% of their starting secondary was out.

They were playing offense with their 3rd guard and 3rd string tackle.

No Benson and no Greg Jennings.

Other than that the Packers fell for the trap game between 2 divisional games.

For them it is on to 3 consecutive divisional games.

Hats off (again) to the Giants. GB stunk the joint up last night. The o-line, wow. They might as well put paper cutouts up there. Embarrassing. Injuries yeah, but no excuses. Way NY played, Packers could’ve had all their starters and they’d probably still have lost.

I’ll never say this again prob but MVP goes to Kevin gilbride… Consistent great play calling even if it didn’t work, new plays I’ve never seen giants run before under him, only a few shotgun draws and had me confused usually I call every play From couch .. Great play calling tonight. Eli needed that bye badly.. D line played great.. Rg3 take note

This game didn’t mean anything. Packers gave up by 2nd quarter. The only meaningful games are the rest of the season when they have some defensive starters back and make a push for the playoffs.

Last week, after the Bears lost big to SF, and GB barely beat Detroit, I seem to recall a Packer fan trash-talking that the Bears would ‘never again’ lead the NFC North.

Wonder how that’s working out for him.

You cant win in the NFL with a patchwork OL like the Packers are trotting out there. Against a team that rushes the passer about as well as anyone, it really becomes a disaster like tonight proved. Rodgers needs to lose that stache that thing is awful

Clay Mathews called, he wants us all to know that the Giants didn’t kick the Packers ass, but that the Packers kicked their own ass

Packer= Saints in great O and Elsucko D
Saints lost to 49ers
49ers lost to Gmen
Gmen top of the Mountain. New Math.

Genius fan.. I second the motion, the motion is passed, Pats Always running up scores, Pat fans running mouths off, SB win, not so much.

You also have to love the calling cards of these two teams. Beating themselves and faking injuries, old school football at it’s finest!

This is a big boy’s game quit complaining about running up the score. The Giants were tired of hearing how GB always “beat themselves” and just wanted to show HOW MUCH better they are…..and using the injury excuse…..PLEASE! You got a NY ass whopping just like last year!!!!’
