The Giants and the cold were just too much for the Packers today in Lambeau, and the Packers season is over after falling 23-20 to the Giants.

Besides the score, this game was about the opposite of what I was expecting. I expected the Packers to out punch the Giants, but it was the Giants who would not and did not give up, and the Packers who looked tired and cold at the end of the game. I give the Giants a lot of credit, I thought they would be beaten and tired by the time they got to Green Bay, but they never gave up, and seemed to have more fight in them than the Packers.

It was a good run for the Packers, and they unfortunately finish one game shy of the Super Bowl.

I feel the same way you do Chris. One of the key points in the game, and I said it at the time, was Nick Collins undisiplined hit on Manning. Instead of 4th down and the Giants punting, they picked up 15 yards and a first down. Instead of the Packers getting the ball back, possibly scoring and getting their defense off the field, the Giants kept the ball, scored a touchdown and took the lead. Those are the types of mistakes that are very difficult to overcome.

Yes, the defense really had a hard time getting off the field at the end, especially that drive.
