GB vs NYG

[contactme_11]

Talking about tempature extremes:

The Epic in Miami (January 2, 1982, San Diego Chargers vs. Miami Dolphins, AFC Divisional Playoff Game)
The temperature was 85°F (29.4°C) at the Miami Orange Bowl, but it did not stop either team's offense. This game set playoff records for the most points scored in a playoff game (79), the most total yards by both teams (1,036), and most passing yards by both teams (809). By the end of the first quarter the Chargers stormed to a 24-0 lead, but the Dolphins cut their deficit to 24-17 by halftime and took a 38-31 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. Regulation ended with a 38-38 tie. In overtime, San Diego beat Miami, 41-38.
Freezer Bowl (January 10, 1982, San Diego Chargers vs. Cincinnati Bengals, AFC Championship Game)
One week after their victory over the Dolphins in "The Epic in Miami" in Florida's scorching heat, the Chargers travelled to Cincinnati to face the Bengals in the coldest game in NFL history based on the wind chill. The air temperature was -9 degrees Fahrenheit (-23 °C), but wind chill was -59 °F (-51 °C). In an attempt to intimidate the Chargers, several Bengals players went without long sleeved uniforms. Cincinnati won the game 27-7 and advanced to their first Super Bowl in franchise history.

Puh-LEASE. The Giants have played in snow, they've played in bitter cold. This is New York for ****'s sake.

People are overplaying the weather factor.

Yeah I agree. New York isn't gonna be used to having as much as Green Bay, but come on people, it's not like it's the Atlanta Falcons playing for their first time ever in the snow.

+1

These guys are all tough bastards and nobody will be suffering from the cold. It's not like they are a 12 year old girls bocce ball team.

Promises to be a good game either way. The Jints stood tall against New England. And Favre is Favre.

 

[Connemara]

That was a BULLSHIT call on Madison. Both players were tussling and the ref singled out Madison. Complete crap.

 

[Thracozaag]

Bradshaw is such a stud.

Not really, Madison threw him to the ground off camera.

Living in Houston, Tx. I have no horse in this games race.

But early in the 4th quarter, tied 20-20, this is one hell of a game.

I hope the Super Bowl is as good.

I wonder if the network powers that be would rather have a GB-Pats SB or a NY-Pats SB? The Giants are the regional choice but GB with Favre would certainly be the sentimental choice.

I look forward to either.

Field goal is no good. Yay!

 

[underwearer]

I wonder how this game would have went if Tiki Barber were still playing instead of wearing fleece suits on 'The Today Show'

 

[Connemara]

LOL that was ridiculous. The ball changed hands like 4 times before the Giants regained possession.

 

[Thracozaag]

Can't believe they called holding on that.

 

[Dakota rube]

Boy, sure didn't see THIS coming!
