I think the Packers are going to win. Steelers CB's and FS are the weakness on the D. Brady carved up the secondary and Rodgers has the ability to do the exact same thing. Polamalu has a habit of guessing in the defensive backfield as well which could result in some big pass plays for the Packers.

But Polamalu is Polamalu. He's a game winner. And Mendenhall can give blows, and we all know about Ben.

Roethlisberger is probably the most clutch QB in the NFL right now. I watched the end of the Ravens game and when a throw needed to be made Big Ben was on the money. Most of the Packers games I watched this year they won. The only game I watched that they looked below average was the first game of the season. Vick came in for an injured Kolb. Vick was able to put off the Packers D with his mobility.

For the Steelers to win they will need to establish the run game. If Mendenhall can pound the ball down their throats and wear the D down it would go a long way to winning the game. Roethlisberger also needs to buy time with his feet and make throws on the run to burn the D.

On D they just need to get as much pressure on Rodgers with the front 4 as possible. If they blitz him he will make them pay. If they can do that they should be able to create some turnovers.

Polamalu will struggle to have a major influence over the game as he is used too with the Packers style of offence drawing him deeper out of the box, taking him out of the pass rushing defence. Packers play their wide outs...Wide. They will drag Polamalu back, because if he comes up into the box, they will go deep and make big plays.

I hope there were police in Texas to arrest Christina Aguilera for murdering the American national anthem

RiOtChEsS · February 07, 2011, 04:54:29 PM

yep that rendition was horrendous :-\

and J that was a top quality game absolutely worth watching the replay 8)

BratPack · February 07, 2011, 04:58:12 PM

Speaking of murder. What the flower was that Halftime show?

8-6 Suited · February 07, 2011, 05:10:36 PM

Pretty average game in my opinion. While there was some great plays, it didn't really stand out like the New Orleans Saints - Seattle Seahawks game for instance. That was a hell of a game.

As I predicted and bet on at the start of the season, Green bay Packers were just too strong in the end. Even with 15 starters on injury reserve, they showed their depth, heart and tenacity to maintain the lead and power home despite the pressure that had been applied late by the Steelers.

Justin Bieber · February 07, 2011, 05:21:28 PM

Might try to catch the replay as I was at school ::).

Just a casual watcher but who wants to miss the two best teams going at it for the Championship (even if you do know the result)?

RiOtChEsS · February 07, 2011, 05:32:29 PM

Gz shaggy ur hard to plz only 3 turnovers for the whole game 56pts both QB's completing 75% of their passes...
