Though he didn’t return to Sunday’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons after suffering a head injury, Aaron Ross should be ready to play this weekend against the Green Bay Packers, according to someone informed of the Giants cornerback’s status.
The person, who requested anonymity because the team hasn’t made any declarations about Ross’ availability, said Ross didn’t have any concussion symptoms today. In fact, it’s unclear if Ross even suffered a concussion in the first place.

Ross went to the locker room after colliding with Jason Pierre-Paul as the two went for a loose ball that had been tipped by Chris Canty. A few minutes later, his wife Sanya wrote on Twitter that Ross hadn’t suffered a concussion. Sanya, an Olympic track star, then tweeted Ross wouldn’t be allowed back in the game, per NFL rules.

Coach Tom Coughlin said today Ross was undergoing tests. Asked if he had suffered a concussion, Coughlin said the team was treating it as if he had.

In short, all signs are pointing toward Ross’ return this weekend, which is a relief for the Giants because they’re so thin at cornerback after losing Terrell Thomas, Bruce Johnson, Brian Witherspoon and Justin Tryon to season-ending injuries. Rookie Prince Amukamara played well in relief of Ross against Atlanta, though as Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said, the team protected him with safety help over the top for much of the game.

Well, I obviously can't wish the Giants luck come Sunday. But, if the Giants win, I'll try and come back to this thread for a congratulations post.

I will wish your team good health though. Should be a good game with a good storyline with the 2007 playoff game not that long ago.

this is just one step down from a Pack-Bears rivalry game.

These 2 teams are oooollld NFL and still sporting traditional uni's. A classic match up

Giants said today Ross should be able to play on Sunday

That may or may not turn out to be good news

I don't want the Prince out there.

 

[ram29jackson]

who's that supposed to be in picture ?

 

[EmpireWF]

I don't want the Prince out there.

Figure Prince will have to cover James Jones or Donald Driver.

I'd hope Webster is on Nelson and Ross (with safety help) is on Jennings.

Tyler Sash, Triple H, Prince Amukamara

Who's on J. Fin?
Who's on the one that Prince is not covering (Driver, Jones)?
Who's on Randall Cobb?

This game is fun.

We could also ask, who stops Bradshaw and Jacobs?

Should be a good game. Both teams and fans should be both confident and nervous.

If you guys want this thread to be purely Giants fans, just say so and I'll stay out.

Fun match-up indeed.

They'll have a LB on Finley, most likely Boley with some safety help at times. In the last game, Boley was just coming back from injury and rookie Jaiquan Williams was on him most of the game I believe.

Not sure about Cobb.

little tidbit from the last time the Gmen played the Pack from Justin Tuck.....after Chase Blackburn picked Rodgers off, as they ran by each other Rodgers jokingly said

"You weren't supposed to be there, I didn't account for you"

Blackburn as we know was basically just signed off the street right before that game

Congratulations Giants. This game was won and lost in the first half. GB drops, fumbles and the Giants consistently making 3rd and longs. The Giants played much better and were the better team today. Congrats and good luck the rest of the playoffs.

 

[EmpireWF]

Wow.

Rarely do the Giants have comfortable wins over good/great teams. This was surprising.
--------------

1. Eli fucking Manning. Sure he had that pick in the first half which was one of those unbalanced throws, but damn. Ice in his veins on 3rd down....the hail mary throw. I got nervous as hell when he ran over to help block on Bradshaw's run in the 4th, lol.

2. The offensive line was shit in run blocking, but they got the job done in pass protection.

3. Nicks, Manningham, Cruz all made the catches, some tougher than others. Nicks' hail mary catch :fap:

4. Bradshaw having the frame of mind to actually run across the field and get out of bounds before the end of the half.

5. The defensive line didn't get much pressure on Rodgers early...but when the dam broke, it broke big. Osi with a FF and a sack, they got pressure on him more than I imagined.


I know the Packers (Finley, Nelson, Jennings, Kuhn) each dropped some seemingly easy catches but damn did the Giants lay it on them when given the opportunities.

San Fran will be tough with that defense they have, looking forward to a smash mouth game.

Like Fox mentioned, last playoff game between the two was the San Fran massacre in 2002.

Time to erase the ghosts of football past.
