OBJ after the loss last night was punching holes in the walls with his head. Seriously...

Seems about right. He had a pretty awful week.

Agreed........Mcadoo should not have given the team a day off the week before their biggest game of the year. I was also shocked Reid gave his team a week off.......let's see how that works out.
Wow, lame

So he punched a hole in a wall or two. It's not like they guy makes his living with his hands. I mean, he barely used them in the last game.

Doctor ponders some possible injuries to Nelson:
Dr. Mark Adickes @jocktodoc 5h5 hours ago
Concerns for Jordy Nelson are broken ribs, pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and splenic laceration with blow occurring on his left side.

It was probably sheetrock. Big deal. If he punched through a block wall I'd be impressed.

Giants fans hoping for Eli Manning to unleash his typical playoff magic on the Packers were left disappointed as New York crashed out of the playoffs with a 38-13 loss at Lambeau Field.
After the loss, we have to start wondering if Manning’s past postseason success was the result of small sample size randomness and not some preternatural ability to raise his game during the playoffs, which is really just a silly construction created by sports writers looking for narratives. As if Manning, who has been pretty much average throughout his career, purposefully saves his “good play” reserves for January while settling for his typical inconsistent play from September to December.
Maybe now, we can stop with the whole “ELI IN THE PLAYOFFS” storyline that no longer has any weight behind it in the form of relevant statistics. In fact, Manning’s postseason numbers are now right in line with his wildly average regular season numbers:
Regular season: 59.7 comp. %, 7.1 yards-per-attempt, 83.7 passer rating
Postseason: 60.5 comp. %, 6.9 yards-per-attempt, 87.4 passer rating
Manning was never a better quarterback in the playoffs. He just hadn’t played enough games, so his numbers did not properly represent his true talent level. And really, his numbers were boosted by one great playoff run, which came in 2011, the only time Manning legitimately played well throughout the entire playoffs. He was also good (not great) during the Giants’ first Super Bowl run, but the rest of his postseason appearances have been ugly.
For a player who is supposedly clutch, Manning sure does go one-and-done in the playoffs an awful lot.

Eli Manning has never won a playoff game in a non-Super Bowl season
2007 & 2011: 8-0 in playoffs
Other 11 seasons: 0-4 in playoffs
Manning’s 8-4 playoff record is impressive on its own, but the Giants offense is averaging 19.3 points over those 12 games. For context, the 2-14 49ers averaged 19.3 points a game this season.
Manning was not the reason the Giants lost on Sunday. The Giants did not have much of a running game. His receivers dropped passes. Aaron Rodgers was amazing. But Manning did not play well, either. He completed only 52% of his passes and turned it over twice while producing a passer rating of 72.1.
It was the eighth time in 12 playoff games he was held under a passer rating of 90. It was the sixth time he was held to one or fewer passing touchdowns. And it was the seventh time he completed less than 60% of his passes. These are league-average benchmarks that Manning routinely misses in playoff games.
Manning is no stranger to mediocre playoff performances, and two rings aren’t going to change that fact.

i hate asante more for freelancing on the velcrohelmet catch. i mean, not that he would have TACKLED tyree but he might have had a shot to defense that shittastic pass.
Giant's defense was not that far behind the Pats.
What Green Bay did to the Giants was impressive.
