Packers handed it to the Giants

Oh, the poor Packers. The good folks of Green Bay, Wisconsin thought it was all wrapped up. I even saw a cartoon in the opinions section of the Pioneer Press joking that the game would be a cakewalk for the Pack. Brett Favre was at the helm in sub-zero temperatures. What could possibly go wrong?

Well… everything. Favre’s offense stalled when the Packers needed him the most. The New York Giants had multiple chances at winning the game due to Favre’s turnovers. Basically, the Packers handed the game over. Oddly, the weather turned out to be to the Giants favor. Put Favre in a dome or in 20 degree warmer weather and it would be no contest Packers all the way. Oh well, Favre is coming back next year right?
