Giants, Packers targets playoff spot in Sunday face-off

Previews Comments Off
THE NEW York Giants and host team Green Bay Packers targets no less than a playoff spot in their National Football League game on Sunday night.
Holding a 9-5 record compared to the Packers who has an 8-6 record, the Giants are the slight favorites to win their important game to be played on the turf of the Packers.
A win over the Packers at the Lambeau Field will give the Giants a playoff chance for them to have the chance to compete for the Super Bowl this year.
With the huge reward at stake in their game, Giants coach Tom Coughlin and his whole team is dead serious on beating the equally determined Packers.
Leading the charge for the visiting Giants is superstar quarterback Eli Manning, who threw for four touchdowns along with his league-leading 20th interception last week.
Manning who carried the cause of the Giants needs to have an A-gave to ensure the Giants can beat the Packers and get an NFL playoff spot.
To ensure victory, Manning needs to execute plays well and score points if needed in their game.
The rest of the Giants squad also needs to play 101 percent to help Manning beat the home-team Packers.
The Packers for their part can defeat the visiting Giants if reliable quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is back from injury, can have a splendid game for his team.
Rodgers threw for 11 touchdowns and no interceptions in a four-game span prior to suffering the concussion Dec. 12, when he failed to slide on a run and was hit hard in a 7-3 loss at Detroit.
The Packers star quarterback vowed to do his best to bring victory to his team who needs to win their last two games to enter the playoffs.
Rodgers said the Giants are a tough team to beat but he is confident his team can beat them on Sunday night.
He said to beat the Giants they need to play as a team and stop Manning from executing good plays for his team.
The star quarterback said the odds of winning might not be on their side but he and the rest of the Packers are very motivated to win in-front of their fans and get the chance to compete in the NFL postseason games.

Woes hound Cowboys suffers 5th loss in 2010 NFL season

Uncategorized Comments Off
Luck continues to evade the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 National Football League season.
The Cowboys, who is an early favorite to win the Super Bowl crown this year suffers its fifth loss and only a single win in the NFL season with a heart-pounding 35-41 loss to the New York Giants.
What is more unfortunate with the loss is the fact that the Cowboys lose its superstar quarterback Tony Romo for six to eight weeks after suffering a left collarbone injury in the game.
Romo, who is considered as the heart and soul of the Cowboys suffered the injury after he was hit hard by Giants linebacker Michael Boley in one plays in the game.
Now that Romo is injured, the opportunity for the Cowboys to enter the NFL playoffs is getting slimmer since his absence leaves a big-hole to fill in the quarterback position.
Expected to fill in the void left by Romo is 38-year-old Cowboys back-up quarterback Jon Kitna who hadn’t played since Oct. 5, 2008, when he was part of Detroit’s win-less season.
Compared to Romo, Kitna is old and less skilled which is why the Cowboys are up for a huge challenge in their remaining games in the NFL regular season especially that Romo is out with an injury.
Back to the game, the Giants were on mission on the night of October 25, as superstar quarterback Eli Manning took advantage of the absence of Romo powering the Giants from a 13-point deficit to a
41-35 victory that put the Giants a full game ahead of the NFC East and tied for the most wins in the conference.
Manning led New York (5-2) on five straight scoring drives over the middle two quarters, posting 31 points.
The loss is very disappointing for the Cowboys who had the chance to win the game before disaster strike when its superstar quarterback got injured.
Romo is very sad with his injury and loss but he remains optimistic with their chances since a 1-5 win-loss record Cincinnati Bengals was still able to enter the playoffs in the 1970 NFL season.
He said all they have to is to play harder in his absence and always follow the game-plan of the team.
The superstar quarterback also wished his replacement Kitna saying the veteran NFL star now has the chance to shine in his absence.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin for his part is very happy with their victory since it strengthen further their chance to enter the NFL playoffs this year.
Coughlin said the Giants lead by Manning are on a mission to capture the Super Bowl crown from the New Orleans whose superstar quarterback Peyton Manning happens to be the brother of his top quarterback.
The 2010 NFL season is now in full-throttle to bring smiles to professional football fans all over the globe.
