Oh man, what a game! The Packers really came ready to play...not really. This is rediculous. I have no idea why they never got it together. The game was just one mistake after another. The Packers really could have caught a break late in the 4th after a short punt by Ryan, but man did Jared Bush screw up. Why would he try to pick up R.W. McQuarters' fumble when the ball is as hard to control as it is once it's rolling on the ground? You have to fall on it - end of story.
Another big bungle was Nick Collins' late hit penalty on 3rd down. Led to a Giants TD. These are just two examples in a Packers' effort that included wayward passes, no committment to the running game, penalties and phantom flags courtesy of the officials.
The worst thing about this: As young and talented as Green Bay is, it's no sure thing the Packers will get this close again, with this group of players. So what a fantastic end to a great opportunity. This loss makes me the least excited to watch the Super Bowl as I can ever remember, b/c its just a reminder of today's failings.
