Let me be the first

Let me be the first to congratulate the New York football Giants on a well earned victory this Sunday afternoon over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and for not messing up a game that was practically handed to them thanks to the inexplicably inept play of the Green Bay offense/defense.  Good luck and I hope you play with that same fire when you take on the Patriots, anything to keep them from winning it.  If you think the media makes a big deal out of Brett Farve, you haven't seen the tip of the iceberg with Brady.

Anyway as a fanatical but at the same time realistic Packer fan I have to say thank you to the 2007 edition of my favorite team.  When the season started I was just hoping we could win a few games this year, maybe beat Chicago at home and be competitive in most games.  Never in my wildest of optimistic scenarios did I imagine I would have the opportunity to still be cheering the Pack on in January.  You guys (along with last season's Brewers before they collasped) brought the sports excitement and enthusiasm back to Wisconsin.

Who would have thought, Packer fan's, that after a summer of disappointments over not getting Randy Moss and the job performance of Ted Thompson in general that we would end up having the season we did.  And with an excellent chance of being very good again next year. 

Yeah it sucks losing like we did, at home in a game of this magnitude but the Pack has brought me too much joy this year for me to end it on a sour note.  Good job guys, let's get ready for next year!!

Nobody could have seen this season coming from the Packers. However, it is still disappointing to have as many chances as they did tonight and not take advantage of them.

My hat's off to the Giants, they played with a ton of heart and passion.

Great season Pack!! Can't wait for next year.

Thank you very much. Class act. The Green Bay Packers had a great season and Mike Mccarthy is going to be a great coach for a long time. I hope Favre comes back.

Congratulations to the Giants. They took Green Bay out of their game and played a solid game in their own right. The Packers are just getting started. They will work this offseason to shore up their weaknesses and be back next year.

The light was on at the funeral home, so I decided to check out the wake. Packers had a great season, but what matters is getting to the Big Game. My condolences, this coming from a Giants fan.

"And Eli wins the superbowl!" Sound right to anyone or make you laugh?

Great year for the Packers. Something to build on. If not for the Patriots season McCarthy would probably be coach of the year and Favre MVP. I, too, hopes Favre comes back.
