3rd coldest playoff game in NFL history? Packers vs. Giants on;
am I the only one watching, in the comfort of my heated home? It's -1 degree out w/a wind chill of -24! :scared::scared:

I rooted for Favre all season long as a sentimental favorite, but not tonight.

Go, Giants! :toast:

9. God, that ground has got to be hard. They're having trouble catching balls at this temp.
They both need to run more. :toast:

13. The field has heaters installed below the turf...
...to keep the ground temp at around 50 degrees.

Still must be like playing on concrete out there, tho.

16. I didn't know that.
But I'd doubt they could help that much at temps like this. The wattage/amperage to keep the temp up with an ambient temp like this would be tremendous.

18. I think the only reason for the heaters
is to keep the field from going permafrost. That'd be Injury City.

commentator said the Giants' bench was frigid. :shrug:

20. True. The hot air being pumped into the benches
isn't enough to offset the temperature.

That's why they pay 'em the big bucks.

14. I really liked seeing the FOX football "analysts" freezing their asses off.
Bradshaw, Johnson and Long looked miserable. JB was not wearing a hat and kind of laughing about it. :rofl:

Plenty of stupid fouls committed by GB on that drive, but a TD is a TD.

40. No, you're not.
I'm usually a Jets fan, but a lot of good that does me this time of year. :)

I'm a NYer, a NY team is in. I'll pull for the Giants today.

44. They weren't?
Shows how much I've being paying attention. When my boys ended their season w/a 11L - 5W, I quit watching.

Actually, my boys haven't had a winning season since I moved from SF. Now if I were to move back...

45. Giants were a 5th seed wildcard. No, they by rights shouldn't be
there. :evilgrin:

5th seed per my DH; I don't know what that means, other than they're a surprise.

63. That would explain how bad of a game it was
but not really.

Bad football. Sloppy and careless on both sides.
