Title: Hey Giant fans
Post by: Arodgers12 on January 20, 2024, 08:11:33 AM
Question for you guys. Are you pulling for us against SF tonight? Do we have a chance? I'm nervous about this game.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I'd like to see you take down SF. I'll be at my favorite watering hole tonight, and there is a large contingent of Packer fans in Binghamton...not sure why  :-?? . Place gets rocking whenever there is a Packers' or Notre Dame game. All (or most of) the dozen TV screens will have the GB-SF game on, but tonight they'll probably have a couple on the Knicks' game...because of my request, LOL

Good luck  :ok:

After what the players did to the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, I'm all in for the Niners.

I've taken Aaron Jones as an anytime TD scorer. Priced at 2.10, it screamed a bit of value.

So yeah, Go Jones Go!

I have doubts about the Cheerleader's claims.   With 80,000 individual cameras and all the cameras from the TV network, I find it improbably that there isn't a single picture or video showing the acts that were alleged (especially as she alleges the players got in her face)

So is the the source or do you think she lied?

Personally, I doubt this woman is outright lying. However, she might be exaggerating or perhaps a bit overly sensitive. Hard to say. I'd have to see some evidence. But it's not just Darian Lasiter that is making this claim. At least one other cheerleader claimed the Packer players were disrespectful.

Even if Lasiter was exaggerating about the players getting physically too close to their faces, if they were saying nasty things to the cheerleaders that's definitely not ok. I frankly have a hard time believing these women would just make such a claim up out of thin air. I feel pretty confident there is at least some degree of truth to it.

I hope our players didn't do this. That's disappointing if true.

There's not much detail. Maybe it was an off color comment by one or two players.

There is no single NFL team that has had perfect behavior by all of its players all the time. Unless it was like 10-15 guys, this doesn't stop me from rooting for the Pack in this game. I have never like the 49ers that much. They have had some games against the Jints that have haunted me (the Trey Junkin one comes to mind, but there were some others). When we beat them in the NFC champ game in San Fran back in 2011 that was incredibly satisfying.

Your team did great last week, but I don't think they have much of a chance this week.

Absent injury to Purdy, the "bye week advantage" is probably enough to carry SF through.

But I'll buy you a steak dinner if the Packers win.  Good luck.

My loyalties lie strictly with my pool picks.  I have the 49ers winning and covering, 34-24.  I see the 9er running game being too much for GB, leading to lots of points and the Pack O can't quite keep up.

Rooting for the Packers but the 49ers will win and probably win big.

Darian Lassiter, a member of the Cowboys' cheerleading squad, posted a video on TikTok Wednesday claiming that Packers players yelled at and insulted cheerleaders during the game, particularly after touchdowns.

It should be on video. If not I am dubious to these claims.

No dog in the fight either, but I'm pulling for GB tonight.
But if they make it, and they're playing Detroit in the championship game, that's me done.

I hadn't heard about this, but not cool if true.
Having said that, if it went down on the sideline I'd be amazed there's no footage.
Maybe there is.
It's an off one.

I am mindful the Packers cost her another game check by beating the Cowboys.   She could be exaggerating or misinterpreted.   Too many witnesses not to have been seen.

ARodgers: Sorry it didn't work out for the Packers.

They reminded me of the year the Giants were the last seed, won three road playoff games & the Super Bowl.

But it just wasn't meant to bo.  Purdy was lucky to avoid at least a couple INT's, while Love was not.

Love played well enough to win, but SF's two interior linebackers are both beasts, and extremely savvy.

The absence of Deebo took many plays out of SF's playbook but they overcame it, and so IMO deserved to win.
