Wow. What a finish to the first half. Let's go folks.
Comment From Wes
You just can't make this stuff up.
Five years after Hakeem Nicks ended the first half with a Hail Mary TD in the playoffs, Cobb returns the favor. Unreal.
Comment From Spencer
Bend but don't break defensively?
That's been pretty good so far. The defense was really holding things together there while the offense sputtered.
Comment From Guest
I don't know my NFL history, but has anyone thrown as many crazy Hail Marys as Rodgers?
Certainly not three in a span of 13 months. That has to be some sort of record.
Comment From Jerry
I hope the ribs aren't broken.
Me, too. As many are saying here, thoughts with Jordy.
Comment From Jerry
Bold move by coach McCarthy to call timeouts to get ball back, considering how the offense was plahing.
The first one only saved the New York offense 4 seconds, but it saved Green Bay's offense plenty on the other side of the 2-minute warning. It was a low-risk TO. He didn't call the last one until fourth down.
Comment From Craig
Totally outplayed yet leading by 8 points.. ridiculous!
Welcome to the NFL playoffs. Jared Cook dropping that pass over the middle was the best thing that could have happened. If he catches that, the half is over.
Comment From WyattÂ
Looks like Randall is playing some good ball today?
He came to play, no doubt.
Comment From Tony
Get ball at beginning of 2nd and another TD would really put pressure on Eli? D doing just enough
For sure. This first drive of the third quarter, need to build on the momentum.
Comment From AndyÂ
Spoff, I thought during the week the key match up was our O line vs. their D line. Do you see that in the way it's played out so far?
The Giants are rushing in a very disciplined fashion, not giving Rodgers anywhere to escape. That was clearly their plan coming in. They have good cover guys, and Rodgers keeps waiting for guys to break open.
Comment From Cheesehead4evrÂ
What a turnaround!
I believe at one point the total yards in the game were something like 197-8, and the Packers were only down 6-0. Give the defense credit.
Comment From MattÂ
A hail mary is a hail mary, but I was much more impressed with that TD pass to Adams. Incredible play
For sure. The streak route down the sideline to Adams to get down there was a beautiful throw. That's what we expect to see from Rodgers, but it's tough against these DBs.
Comment From SivasÂ
I cant handle more injuries...
I'm not sure the Packers can, either.
Comment From GuestÂ
How do they get more pressure on Eli
Capers isn't blitzing much because he needs the safeties back to help on the receivers. They'll be OK as long as they can keep stopping the run with safeties back. You can see Manning checking to run plays at the line sometimes when it's a deep cover 2. He wants to make them pay for that strategy by running them out of it.
Comment From ConnorÂ
What is it about the Giants that give the Packers fits?
Disciplined rush and good cover guys. They're the No. 2 scoring defense in the league for a reason.
Comment From MattÂ
Looked like Montgomery was finally starting to get going at the end there. I hope we can just grind clock in the 2nd half
It would be good to find some running room, but I think he got those yards because the Giants were totally playing pass.
Comment From RobÂ
Props to special teams...field position huge so far
Definitely. Schum is having a dynamite game, and Janis has been superb on coverage. Harris clearly doesn't like to fair-catch the ball. Hyde with one nice punt return, too.
Comment From KDÂ
Any reaction from the press box on that hail mary?
There were some welps of amazement. Right before the play, I pointed for Wes to the spot in the end zone where Nicks caught that one 5 years ago. I'd say Cobb caught his about 10-15 yards away from it.
Comment From SeanGÂ
I need to start checking with my doctor to see if my heart is healthy enough for Packer games
This team sure is entertaining.
Comment From MattÂ
What's the story with Martinez?
knee injury, return questionable
Comment From KDÂ
Still a one score game. Offense can't continue to stall out like they did in the first quarter and most of the second.
Have to find some way to consistently move the ball. It's not going to be easy.
Comment From Lambeau Leaper
Unpredictable first half. What to expect for the 2nd?
Just as unpredictable, probably.
Comment From GuestÂ
Why no update on Jordy?
Because they didn't give one. Rib injury, that's all we know.
Comment From SkipÂ
With the pass protection as tight as it is, I am surprised that Rodgers isn't scrambling for more yards. Is there something we're not seeing?
He can't get out. The Giants are giving him no escape lanes.
Comment From SethÂ
Second half, build on the momentum - one can never have too much. Which is more important, getting the passing game in a rhythm or the run game?
It doesn't matter. Just move the ball, do whatever it takes. That's how this team is built right now. Do whatever it takes. Kickoff coming up, gotta run. Thanks everybody.
