Still wished I lived in Florida, I would
get a antenna.

I have one but it's still an a-hole move to those who don't. Not right. Anyways sorry I don't mean to go off topic.

Oh you are just bragging about living in Florida, I know how you and salsa are.

Well the Giants O couldn't do it when they needed to, now the 49 ers chance and then maybe to OT, for the right to go to the SB !

 

[cybok0]

A team that is 0-11 on 3rd downs, don't deserve to go to the SB.

The Giants Offense needs to step it up, in a hurry ...

It's amazing they are in this game

That was the 49ers that were 0-11 btw.

On to the NEW OT playoffs.

So let's get this straight,underneath all of the Gobbledygook of the new OT rules,the first to score wins right?

No, if you score a TD first, YES, you win, if you kick a FG, the other team gets the ball and from there it's sudden death.

Basically both teams get the ball unless a TD is scored on the first drive, this eliminates the long FG that wins the game on the first possession.

Come on Jimbo..that is ridiculous... I mean I can comeback and say a team that cannot rush for more than 60 yards and needs to throw almost 60 times(which is what the Giants are doing) does not deserve to win either...

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

I wonder if the same people who came up with the BCS rules for current college championship games were also consulted to come up with the new NFL rules on OT. No matter how you look at it,college & CFL OT rules are a lot less complicated.

Yup..and better.

49ers are in it thanks to that defense. But now the giants get it back after a fumble recovery!

 

[salsadancer7]

Giants get a HUGE BREAK...Giants already in FG range.

 

[RandallA]

Two big mistakes by Williams and the Giants are pretty much in the Super Bowl. Oh well!

The flaw with that scenario is if the team that scores the field goal first,if they get the ball back after the other team fails to score,if they score again,even by another field goal,then they win? Or how about if the first team to score a field goal,rides out the OT period without anybody scoring again,do they win the game,or do they keep playing OT period after OT period(even though the one team is technically ahead by 3 points) until someone sores again? No matter how you look at it or try to explain it,the new rules are a joke & the NFL needs to get over their superiority complex & adopt simpler,fairer OT rules like the CFL or college.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Come on,stop displaying the absurdity of the OT rules & just win it already........somebody please.

 

[Rey]

Yes!!!!!!! Rematch !!!!!

I think if the first team kicks a FG and the other team fails to score on their next possession, then the first team wins.

If the first team kicks a FG , the other team gets the ball, if they don't score to at least tie it, games OVER !
