2. Packers gave up 22.4 points per game this season, the Giants gave up 25 points per game. The Packers played against 8 of the top 10 offenses and were 8-0 in those games. The Giants played against 5 of the top 10 offenses and went 2-3. Against common opponents (including the game against each other), Packers allowed 24 PPG to the Giants' 26. GB scored 35 in those games, while the Giants scored 28.

Shh. Everyone* knows the Giants are going to win 70-0 with Eli putting up Tecmo Super Bowl numbers of 40/41, 720 yds, 10 tds while Cruz gets 350 yds/6 tds on that "V" double move streak at the top of the field. However, Eli will get sacked once because GB guessed the right play and his OL decided not to block.

* by everyone I mean just Lathum

Texans defense playing hard... best not to talk about the offense.

whomario · 01-15-2012, 01:47 PM

Why doesn´t Yates just run for the first there ? Could have easily picked up 15 yards on the ground there.

Hell yes. I used those two, the shotgun play where the bottom WR would hook and the TE and top WR would run posts. And of course the Shotgun XY Bomb.

I don't know if there's an analyst I dislike more than Dierdorf.

Yeah, and it all means nothing.

Flacco has to be the most overrated QB in the NFL.

Not really, he's not rated that highly

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 03:06 PM

If Tebow looked as good as Yates does today, he'd already be up for sainthood.

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 03:15 PM

Go for it. Put the Texans away.

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 03:16 PM

Thought they'd be a touch more creative...

whomario · 01-15-2012, 03:55 PM

TJ stands for Timothy Jesus, right ? Just wanted to ask this ahead of the comeback drive

MrBug708 · 01-15-2012, 03:59 PM

Isnt that a safety?

No, his momentum carried him into the end zone. Ball spotted at the point of the catch.

kingfc22 · 01-15-2012, 04:01 PM

Home teams still undefeated this post season.

I guess but he wasn't stopped and ended up rolling out of bounds

fpres · 01-15-2012, 04:08 PM

Oh well. It was a fun ride while it lasted. The Texans have nothing to hang their heads about. Getting this far with the injuries they sustained was completely unexpected. Hopefully, they'll tweak the lineup a bit, get healthy, keep Wade Phillips on as DC, and finally get rid of Jacoby Jones (which has been about 2 years in the making).

Once his momentum takes him into the end zone, that's all that matters. As long as he doesn't leave the end zone, it's a touchback.

Edit: Sorry, not a touchback. I mean the ball is spotted where he caught it.

BlackJack · 01-15-2012, 04:25 PM

Ravens very unimpressive, Texans outplayed them badly, other than the 17 turnovers. Baltimore better figure out where its pass rush went before next week. Texans have a bright future.

Lathum · 01-15-2012, 04:44 PM

Awesome start. 2 runs up the middle then a timeout.

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 04:46 PM

Damn near a pick, wonder what Manning was thinking?

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 04:56 PM

Not a fumble, Cobbs knee was down.

Probably what most NFL QB's are thinking... Thank Tebow I'm Not Tony Romo...

Pumpy Tudors · 01-15-2012, 05:03 PM

Aaron Rodgers sucks. Matt Flynn would've put that ball right on Jennings.

QuikSand · 01-15-2012, 05:04 PM

Baltimore is going top be a really intriguing value play next week. People tend to overweight teams' last performances. One market has them at $27, or about +270 in money line terms. I like that a good deal.

Lathum · 01-15-2012, 05:10 PM

NICKS!!!!!

BillJasper · 01-15-2012, 05:11 PM

Nice play by Nicks.

Lathum · 01-15-2012, 05:19 PM

This should be Giants ball

Lathum · 01-15-2012, 05:20 PM

I thought his ass was on the ground before the ball came out. Does that make him down?

Good job by Bill Leavy. It wasn't indisputable.

The ball was clearly out.

Jas_lov · 01-15-2012, 05:24 PM

Bill Leavy made a tough call but the correct call. Jennings was clearly down.

k0ruptr · 01-15-2012, 05:25 PM

One good thing when your team doesn't make the playoffs, they can't get screwed by the refs.

Bullshit. The ball was clearly loose before Jennings hit the ground.

It would, but I didn't see that. Looked pretty clear the ball was out before he was down.

That was a horrible call, FUMBLE for sure. Hey, how about hiring refs who are not 110 years old and can actually still see.

Matthean · 01-15-2012, 05:27 PM

Saw a retweet of a former head NFL official who said he thought it was a fumble.

Given the 20 different teams that you root for, I'm not even sure why you take a stand here.
