NYG vs GB - 2nd half

• The throwing is working but it worries me. Eli just threw a pick that was erased by a penalty. Got the first down, which evens things up after the David Diehl penalty in the first half. Plax is playing like Jerry Rice, or at least like he was playing earlier this year.
• I'm going to say this and please, be sitting down: I agree with Joe Buck. Not enough running for Jacobs.
  
• Another penalty! 15 yards! First down! That was a nasty hit, actually. Eli doesn't come across like a tough guy but I think you gotta be to take a smack like that. Ouch.
• I guess they listened to me, cuz Jacobs just had a nice run there. Almost made it into the end zone, a couple of inches short of a first down. 3rd and inches.
• Jacobs? Fumble? Forth down? What happened? OK, it looks to me like Kevin Boss picked it up after Jacobs got the yard. Nice replay.
• Offsides on the Packers. Half the distance to the goal? What's that, a foot? Auto 1st down, though. Green Bay penalties galore. That's two offsides in a row. Wacky. This is the unit that everyone with a radio show was saying that this was an "elite" defense.
  
• Jacobs! Touchdown! There you go. They listened to me. At least Jacobs didn't throw the ball at anyone (or anyTHING).
• Buck points out what I was thinking, which is that GB really only has one good play, the 90 yard TD by driver. Of course, now they have a huge punt return, putting them deep into Giant territory. Favre is playing OK but not great. No, you don't get a flag there Favre. NO FLAG FOR YOU!
• That was a dopey play. Ball bouncing all over the place, Driver eventually gets it, then Sam Madison pulls a HUGE foul and Green Bay gets an immediate touchdown. Bad bad bad. We were happy he's playing again but that was an unbelievably stupid penalty.
• Bradshaw has a nice run, gets a first, so the Giants come out and... throw the ball again on 1st down. Plax tied a Giant team postseason. Toomer just made a great fucking catch there, 23 yards. But Green Bay challenged it. I don't know, it's not clear. On that replay it looks like both toes are in, I think Green Bay loses that challenge. Cool freeze frame. The camerawork in this game seems better than in previous weeks. The angles are there, there's not a lot of "Why'd they shoot that? The play was over there."
  
• Toomer again. This is weird. Both Green Bay touchdowns are on passes, Manning is throwing the ball all over the field, and it's -20 degrees.
• Bradshaw! Touchdown! Got the lead right back. Take that cheeseheads.
• Another nice one from Favre, to Robinson this time. Then Ryan Grant shows why everyone's been talking about him this week, 13 yards. I don't blame the Giants for being tired at this point in the game but now is not the time for the team to fall apart. There we go, good stop. Keep that up.
  
• Ooo, Strahan got beat on that one. 20 yards for Driver. Not sure what Don was whining about at the end of the play.
• Interception! Fumble! Green Bay recovers. Oh dammit. Favre was almost sacked, Ryan Grant strips the ball from McQuarters after he makes a nice interception, then some huge lineman dives on the ball. Sheesh.
  
• -23 degrees.
• Webster destroys Ryan Grant after he catches a screen pass. Crosby tries to tie it up with a field goal and... does. Then he manages to tackle Hixon on the punt return. He's been good today, Hixon, giving solid field position most of the time.
  
• These Bud ads talking about "The Great American Lager" are pretty stupid. It's cheap beer. That's it.
• After the Cowboys big loss, that Diet Pepsi Max ad is somewhat ironic.
• Plax again. How is he doing this? Wasn't he hurt? Did they install animal parts in him during the week?
• There goes Bradshaw. He's fast. I think they kept the right running back (they got rid of Grant, who's also good, but whatcha gonna do.)
• The Dancing Fox Robot is troubling to members of my family.
• Thaaat wasn't so good. Bradshaw gets stuffed. If they can get him free in the open field... that's the play but easier said than done. 3rd and 5. Manning had to use a timeout rather than get a delay of game penalty. Second time today that happened. I don't know about that. 1 timeout left now. What does it lead to? Offensive interference. So who cares. Actually, the Packers accept the penalty, which pushes NY back 10 yards. 3rd and 15. Bradshaw gets really close to busting loose. 4th and 5, and they go for it. Incomplete. BUT! Pass interference against Green Bay and... 1st down! Steve Smith actually made a nice catch after it bounced off Toomer. So 1st down, and the Giants throw to the end zone. I know, I know. What do I know? But I don't get it.
  
• "It is cramps for Al Harris." Something about that just sounds odd.
  
• Green Bay wastes a time out because they can't get it together on defense, so now both teams have one left.
  
• That's what we were all waiting for. Tynes misses a field goal. It was too far to have him kick it, methinks. What is Coughlin saying to Tynes? Buck up little camper? Yelling at him? Neither seems like a good idea, although you hope its the former since Tynes may get another chance to kick a big one tonight.
  
• Good pressure from the Giants, and nice coverage of Jennings to get a 3rd and 10, and then 4th and short(ish) but Green Bay punts. Defense stepped up there. Again, Favre is playing OK but not great. I wonder if anyone can play great in cold like this.
  
• Green Bay has 31 yards this half? That can't be right. Is it?
• Jacobs back and gets some quick yardage. The play calling seems to be veering back and forth between air it out and keep it on the ground. I know that's oversimplified but there's a strange vibe. That was good; QB sneak, quick 1st down. Let's not screw around. Keeps the clock running, which is good. Don't let the Packers get the ball back. It doesn't matter, because they throw on first down. Again.
• Big sack and NY is done but Feagles pins them back at the 17.
• Neither QB is throwing terribly well. With no glove on their throwing hands, I gotta think that it hurts just to hold the ball, much less throw it. 3rd and 15 now, and they get nothing. Why would Coughlin call the time out there, at 2:30? Giants should get good field position here. I guess he wants as much time as possible to get a score.
• OK, that wasn't good for my nerves. McQuarters fumbles the punt, two Packers try to get it, and then Hixon gets it back.
• Bradshaw runs it in... But it comes back on a Chris Snee holding penalty. Isn't he Cough's son in law?
• 2 minute warning. Actually 1:59, but who's counting?
• Reggie Bush: Has there ever been a bigger gap between the achievements of a player and the amount of ads he does?
• Steve Smith, great catch. Almost a first down. 3rd and 2, 1:37.
• But wait. Oh, it's just a measurement. Did Smith have possession? I think he did. Yeah, we're good. And it's a first down. Outside of Tynes' field goal range.
• NOW they want a review? After all that?
  
• Two questions: are the Giant benches heated yet? And what hot beverage are they serving?
• The nitpicking over completions is a bit much. Not just this play, in general.
• After all that, it's 3rd and 1, not 1st and 10.
  
• Clock running. Bradshaw gets the 1st. Still kinda far for a Tynes field goal. Less than a minute, another first down, and the clock is running down. How far do they let it go? Last second it looks like. It's coming down to a Tynes field goal.
• It's coming down to a Tynes field goal.
• Buck and Troy think Coughlin was yelling at Larry on the sidelines.
• You gotta be kidding me. Bad snap, and it's nowhere near good. Overtime time.
  
• Green Bay wins the toss. Coughlin looks like his face is going to fall off from the cold.
• Does the Giant defense have another stop in them? We'll find out.
• Oh-ho! Interception! Holy crap! Big play by Cory Webster. Favre looks... not so happy.
• They're close but I don't know if you want to put Tynes back in that position again. 3rd and 5, gotta get a first down, right? Crowd still into it. 4th and 5. What do you do? Gives Larry another chance. 47 yard attempt.
• HE MAKES IT! Holy shit, the Giants are going to the Super bowl.
