^The safety had me pretty hot too.... you've been running for negative yards all day long, so what are the odds that a run from your own one yard line will end well? I would think slim-to-none.
I hope Green Bay loses, but I'm glad to see another SEC quarterback getting a start.
Dan Connelly will be a legend.
Hopefully that story gets forgotten as people instead remember Matt Flynn leading the Pack to victory!
Well, a man can dream.
That was amazing.
I just wish he'd been able to score. Does anyone know if a lineman has ever returned a kickoff for a touchdown, without having the ball lateraled to him?
Matt Flynn...hell of a first NFL start and way to almost ruin my night. I don't recall the Pats getting a first down all night or even completing a pass, but I'll take it!
3:15 PM on a Sunday is the best time of the week to go to the gym. You basically have the whole place to yourself, and I watched the Eagles come back against the Giants on the TV there while on the bike.
I then hopped on a stair climber and saw the punt return to end the game. I had a bet with my wife on this game and picked Philly. I threw my arms up in the TD symbol when Jackson scored, and almost fell off the machine in the process.

It makes sense if you think about it, but it's pretty amazing to think that before today Green Bay hadn't had a back-up QB start since the first half of the '92 season.
That was amazing.
That was the longest return by an offensive lineman ever.
Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean a lineman's never scored a TD off a kickoff return.That was the longest return by an offensive lineman ever.That was amazing.
Happy Holidays is effin' RIGHT, hahaha! 
But Jackson seriously needs to cut back on the showboating. Some people seem to think that he was just making sure there was no time on the clock by running along the goal line before going in for the score, but considering the way he's acted in his career, and earlier this season, my money is on taunting the opponents. And that is pure bad karma.

For sure it was taunting, no doubt.
He's a tool, but this is one instance I'm willing to give him. It's pretty easy to lose track of how much time was left in the heat of the moment. The way that game was going, the Giants would have somehow managed to score again with any time left on the clock.
It was taunting. Give me a physical break, guys. His track record proves it. He wasn't making sure the clock had run out. 
He's such a nice guy that he wouldn't taunt. Sure.

Hate that it was against the Packers, but that was fun to watch. I guess Green Bay should have put some bigger bodies on the field when they decided to squib kick it towards Connelly.
I was expecting the Packers to get slaughtered, so I'm not too bummed about the loss. Can't help but think McCarthy's an idiot, though- with a little better coaching Green Bay might have been able to pull off the upset.
Tonight's game at TCF Stadium should be good. If nothing else, watching the fans pile in for general admission seating could be interesting. It will probably still be snowing at game time, but at least it's a lot warmer than it has been. The field stands a good chance of staying thawed for at least the first half.

The kind of abject failure displayed by the Giants in that situation totally deserves to be taunted.
I'm liking this outdoor football in Minnesota. NFC North games just feel like they should be played outside in the snow and cold.
*looks disapprovingly at Ford Field*
ETA: Oh, come on, ESPN. The Bears just crushed the Vikings and clinched the NFC North, but who do the cameras follow in the post-game mingle? Brett Favre!
