Hats off to the New York Giants…Maybe it is 2007
I had cautioned Giant fans not to get too giddy during this playoff run since Giant fans believed this was 2007 all over again.
Earlier this week I was asked by a coworker who was winning between the Giants and the Green bay Packers. No disrespect to the Giants and Giant fans I did think Green Bay was going to win, a close game. Just like they did earlier this season. Needless to say I was wrong, very wrong. Giant fans you have every right to believe the year is 2007 all over again. Hakeem Nicks (7 receptions and 165 yards) and Eli(the Elite)Manning(21-33 330 yards 3 touchdowns 1 interception)led the Giants to a 37- 20 victory over the Green Bay Packers, at Lambeau Field the same place where the Giants beat the Packers in the NFC Championship game back in 2007 when the quarterback was Packer legend Brett Favre. Fast forward to 2012 where his successor Aaron Rodgers had a MVP type season this year along with Drew Brees, I reasoned quite loudly that Rodgers would find a way to beat the Giants yet again. Instead Eli (The Elite) turned back the clock and found a way to win. The Giant defense kept forcing the Packers into fumbles. Now the Giants are a game away from reaching the Super Bowl as they now travel to San Francisco to face the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. I am sure a certain coworker will ask what I think of the Giants now. What will be my answer? GO BIG BLUE!
