Excellent, excellent game. Christina Aguilera should be exiled to Siberia.
Game was great. I called Rogers throwing 4 td’s, he almost had it damn lol. Commercials sucked this year. Half time was redeemed by the Slash appearance.
Good game. Glad the Packers won. Biggest play was the Mendenhal fumble. The Steelers had all the momentum before that play.

Yes. You can’t win a game with a -3 TO differential. INT for a TD sure didn’t help either. I can’t believe Wallace just ran by that ball and didn’t try to make a play on it.
Pack played a great game. Their defense made more plays and their O made Pittsburgh pay for its mistakes. I didn’t watch the post game, but I’m assuming Rodgers got MVP.
Pittsburgh was in it the whole way, but they made too many mistakes.
Congrats Pack fans.
It was an awesome game. It had me on edge the whole time though. I really wish Pitt hadn’t gotten that TD right before the half, then the maybe I could have seen a comfortable packers blowout… 'course, this probably made for a better game overall.
Steelers fans, it was a great game.
Let’s see if I can find me a new avi… (first new one I think).

While she forgot a verse, and is defo an idiot… I would hit that like a fist of an angry god.
I think my point from last week was clearly made last night. Matthews made a bigger impact than Polamalu. Harrison spent the week complaining to Roger instead of looking at the gameplan.

Troy played one of his worst games as a pro last night. The whole secondary was garbage. If
the Packers hadn’t dropped so many passes Rodgers would have thrown for 400+ yards and 4-5 TDs.
Your Harrison comment is baseless. 92 got multiple hits on Rodgers and came away with a sack.
^Not baseless at all. He had one tackle & one sack. Countless hits on Rodgers? Really? & even if he did have ‘countless’ hits, it did nothing to change the game. The def. was exposed by a strong armed qb & speed.

You can’t base the entire outcome of a game on one player. Troy Palumalu at his finest is a heck of a weapon, but the Steelers’ entire defensive scheme was dampened once the Packers figured out how much more “economically” viable it was to pass on them. They played a similar 3-4 zone that Aaron Rodgers had been use to playing against on the scout team for the last 2 weeks and wasn’t phased by it.
Actually, if anything else, I think the Steelers’ defense had a pretty solid game considering some things. If I were forced to put blame on Big Ben. He just didn’t get it done last night, something he’s done reliably for years. Especially once Chuck Woodson was taken out of the game they switched to almost a PURE zone coverage because they no longer had the assets to mix it up with man-to-man. As a QB you have to recognize this and know your options.
Either way, Go Pack Go!

I still think Polamalu is hurt, he just looked hobbled when he was walking between plays. Harrison had a solid game, nothing to be proud of, the rest of the D-Line didnt show up.
Steelers have a elite run stopping defense, Packers dont run the ball well and didnt even really bother to establish it.
Honestly if the Packers didnt lose some real key players this game could have been a worse loss.
i take everything back… matthews deserved the award… polamalu played like crap yesterday whereas matthews plays lights out…
was it me or did the field seem like it was pretty shitty?

In what way? I saw a few slips but could be wrong spikes or tape jobs.
I do think they paint to much on the field. They could computer that shit on for the TV, I think people that are at the game really dont need to know they are at the SB.
Clay Matthews made the big game play in the big game. Many props to that dude.
Urlacher who?
Clay and AJ are solidified, along with the rest of that Packer defense as the new sherrif in town.
That being said, the Steelers didn’t quit. I’ve got a brand new respect for Randel-El, Mendenhal, Wallace and Redman. Those guys played their balls off.

How do you figure the Stillirs played a pretty good def game? If it weren’t for dropped balls Rodgers would’ve thrown for four hundred some yds & had 5-6 touchdowns.
& bullshit to putting it on Ben. The last 2 playoff games the offense didn’t even generate 300 total yds of offense. That team was built w/the def. first. Turnovers & field position led the way for the O to score points. I hold Ben accountable for one interception & 2 bad passes. Overall he didn’t play all that bad.

He had to have still been hurt. Anyone can say anything else, but my eyes said that he wasn’t 100% last night. And you also just said what was embarrassing for the Steelers; the Packers ran the ball a total of 13 times and they still couldn’t key on their passing assignments. Not good.
Imagine the second half of football… except with Chuck Woodson. 
don’t forget ward too… guy played lights out… 13 year vet still has a little gas left in the tank… i’d take ward in the slot anyday… sure hands, thirst for blood on blocks, gives 110%…
did anyone notice that ward has a mickey mouse tattoo doing the heisman on his arm?

How does a sack and MULTIPLE (the word I used, as in more than 1; clearly different from ‘countless’) hits on the QB NOT have an impact on the game? GB ran the ball like 9 times (mostly to the other side), so there weren’t many tackles to go around for LBs. I also didn’t see him getting abused in coverage at all, unlike Farrior, who got fucking whipped all day.
Obviously the outcome is the outcome, but show me where I said “James Harrison did enough to win the game.” I’m not saying the dude should be MVP, just that he wasn’t invisible or poor. He was disruptive at times, just not enough to win. People play decent games and lose ALL THE TIME.
I can handle criticism just fine when it is justified. Yours isn’t. People that played poorly:
Polamalu - Was a step or more slow on both of Jennings’ TDs. His explosiveness wasn’t there in the playoffs this year, leading me to believe that his bum wheel is worse than they’re telling us. I believe a healthy Troy makes the play on the first TD. He got beat badly on the second one. 1/10
Gay - Beat all day. Beat for a TD by a white guy. Should have been beat for a TD by Jones but Jones dropped the perfect pass from Rodgers. Total fucking garbage and true to his name, in the modern parlance definition. 1/10
Farrior - He might as well not even drop back in pass coverage. I have no idea why he is on the field in the nickel/dime, except that he is the defensive captain. 4/10
Clark - Beat all day. Putting him in man coverage on a WR is an automatic first down. 5/10
McFadden - Beat all day. 3/10
Roethlisberger - Missed open receivers all day. Second INT was a bad read and a good defensive play. He got fucked on the INT for a TD because his fat sloth LG can’t anchor against a bull rush and his WR either gave up on the pass or didn’t see it. Also had a few miscommunications. Tough to say whose fault those are. 5/10
Mendenhall - I don’t care what he did the rest of the game, you can’t fumble in the 4th quarter in the Super Bowl. That turns an 8/10 to a 3/10.
Kemoeatu - Responsible for INT for TD and a completely retarded ten yard penalty. Otherwise played OK. Had a nice lead on Mendenhall’s TD. 6/10
bummer…

So what you’re saying is one tackle & one sack didn’t make him invisible? I’m not looking to give you a hard time Steely, all I’m saying is he didn’t perform to expectations. At least what I was expecting from him. It’s games like these that you etch your name in stone. Personally, & It’s only my opinion, he disappeared through out the game.
I don’t know if I’m justified or not, but I will say when you’re known as the biggest badass not only on your team, but quite possibly the league, it’s not a bad idea to bring a can of whoop ass w/ya.
