Not meant to be

We did not play well and the Giants were really fabulous, given the conditions. The G Men simply deserved to win and probably are the best team--right now--to face the Pats, and that's all that matters in the playoffs. So congrats to them.

We were just missing on O. Truth is, we're not a cold weather team any more. Just not what we're built for.

great game, very exciting w/big momentum shifts. here's to free entertainment for the masses and to three more years for brett.

Your comments were most generous seeing you are such a strong GB fan. Although I'm an upstate New Yorker I'm not a G fan;although hats off to Eli. If the Pats win the SB, which I think they will, I think they deserve the rating as the best in modern NFL history!

Hey, at least this means Farve comes back for one more season!

Dumb question time. How does a team based out of a port city in Wisconsin cease to be a cold-weather team? Did they spend too much time training in sunnier locales or what?

cold weather teams have to be built to be strong in cold weather: powerful running game, powerful O-Line, can stop the run, too.

for this year, at least, Green Bay became a true West Coast Offense, live off the high percentage pass team. of course, with a QB like Favre, it's hard not to want to emphasize the pass. but it can leave you in the lurch.

maybe the best cold weather team right now is, ironically, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"Hey, at least this means Farve comes back for one more season!"

Yes, Farve is not the type of guy to 'go out' that way. If he did retire, that pass would be the subject of his dreams for the rest of his life. Real weird dreams, where he's falling only to be caught by a NY Giant before he hits the ground. Had he made to the SB and even lost, I think he may have called it quits, but with that pass, no way.

But maybe we can learn something here? After all, what if Farve didn't throw the interception ? What if he threw a perfect TD pass to a man who dropped the ball? This way Farve wouldn't be at "fault." Would he retire under this scenario?

Did that 5-7 second event drastically change the future?
