No one on the Giants realized that Starks didn't fumble the ball? It should have been an incomplete pass and it would have saved them a timeout.

I thought the same thing. Nobody caught it, not even the announcers.

Incomplete pass, the clock stops and they can save a TO pus they still had the two-minute warning. That was horrible by everybody.

But it was -they just didn't challenge it - unless they were out of challenges which is possible.

I misspoke. If you paid attention they called it incomplete. The clock wasn't moving as GB came to the line and it was 3rd and 10. It was ruled incomplete.

It's going to be very, very difficult to win at Green Bay. But with that preface out of the way: the Packers have plenty of flaws as a team, the mystique of their stadium notwithstanding. Should be an interesting game.

I saw nothing at least tonight to make me fear GB on their turf.

It was 2nd and 13 and then they ruled a catch and fumble to make it 3rd and 10. That's why the Giants had to call their last timeout to stop the clock.

If the Giants had challenged it, they would have won because Starks clearly bobbled the ball and never secured it or made a football move. It would have saved their timeout + the 2 minute warning and possibly changed the type of play that GB ran on 3rd down.

Bishop, my dear friend, Belichick is a coaching guru. A prodigy. He is a wizard, but your salt reaches many a fan base.

Don't be salty, my good friend, embrace the man, the legend that is the Jedi (or Sith), and watch him shine. He is living history.

He won't be around much longer.

The Leary effect.
Yep.

I stated that the line is more cohesive when Leary came in and most didn't agree.

Collins is a beast but too young with this line to know all the nuances.

Sometimes I think he was a hindrance more than a help.

He'll grow out of that.

Leary belongs on this line.
