Packers, Giants shrug of cold weather forecast

Bad weather blew away Brett Favre and Eli Manning on Dec. 23.

On a frigid, blustery afternoon in Chicago, the Green Bay Packers suffered their worst defeat this season, 35-7 to the lowly Bears, as Favre finished 17-for-32 passing and threw two interceptions.
At Buffalo, where temperatures plummeted and winds gusted to more than 50 mph, the New York Giants beat the Bills 38-21 to clinch a playoff spot in spite of even worse numbers from Manning: 7-for-15 passing, two interceptions and five fumbles.
There’s no telling whether the weather will be as bad as — or, gasp, worse than — long-range forecasts predict when the Packers and Giants meet in Sunday’s NFC championship game at Lambeau Field. As of Tuesday evening, temperatures were projected to be in single digits for the 5:30 p.m. kickoff, with the wind chill potentially plunging below zero.
Both teams are certain to factor the elements into their approach; . But as the surprise snowfall during last week’s divisional playoff game between the Packers and Seattle Seahawks showed, preparation isn’t always as valuable as the ability to adapt to the unexpected.
“We just have to focus on the game, on the plan, on the execution of our plan,” Coughlin said. “If we have to do some things if we catch a day where we can be outside when it is chilly with snow around, then that would be fine, and if we can’t, we have to just mentally prepare ourselves for it and go play in it.”
A week before his struggles at Buffalo, Manning was a brutal 18-for-52 passing amid 18 mph winds at kickoff at Washington.
Sunday, he’ll be up against Favre, who is 43-5 at home when the game-time temperature is 34 degrees or below.

Are you Mother Nature, or perhaps Orson Welles with a time machine?
