Pack win it 35 – 14

He will have 120 total scrimmage yards and 2 tds against the vaunted defense.

“Still, I can’t get past the Doug Legursky effect at center.”
This is huge, and something the Squealer fans don’t want to think about. The center may be the most important position on the O-line, and you got a guy making his first start in the most important game of the year.
No pressure.
LOL. Yeah, right.
He not only has to call the protections, he has to somehow instantly recreate the synergy between himself and the QB that enables a seasoned tandem to anticipate each other’s moves, successfully snap the ball when he is under center, and also shotgun snaps.
I think it will be a while before #7. Sorry, it won’t be black and yellow. It will be black and blue.

If this is a battle for the ugliest uniforms in the NFL, it will be close, but Steelers win!!!

I am pulling for Green Bay because they don’t have a rapist on their team.

What you all don’t get is that unless you are from Pittsburgh, you’ll never understand. Try to understand this…..we really don’t care what you think or say about the Steelers.

@sdw2001 ~ don’t worry about listening to “stairway to seven” for another year. After tomorrow night, the new Steelers cheer will rhyme with EIGHT.

Steelers by 21.

GO STEELERS!

I really can’t call this one. Kinda rooting for the Pack, for no other reason that I can’t listen to “stairway to seven” for another year. I don’t have anything against Sixsburgh, but geez..you g*damned Stiilllers fans are so effing annoying.

Wow, just started reading this blog and comments and just can’t believe how many Steelers haters there are out there. Having lived in da ‘Burgh for several years I can honestly say I’ve never seen a more open, friendly, good old fashioned blue collar city, and their sports teams embody all of these great qualities which is why they are so beloved.

As I celebrate the Steelers’ 7th Superbowl win tomorrow evening I will drink an extra glass of champagne and toast to all you haters…hope your hatred will keep you warm ’til YOUR teams get to play again!!!

HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!

You guys really are a sorry fanbase. Geez. If you’re not bragging incessantly, you’re lying and whining in advance.

Chances are the Steelers are going to try to give Rogers a head shot and knock him out of the game with a concussion. That is the only way they win this game. Why do I say this? Well that’s the way the Steelers play- Dirty- Knock the QB out and you have a chance.
Rogers also may have hurt his shoulder in their last game. His passes sucked after he took a hit to the shoulder running for that touchdown. I hope he is okay and can have the same game he had against the Atlanta Falcons.

Two things:

GB is going to win. Great offense and a great defense against a great (although aging) defense and average offense that couldn’t score in the second half against the Jets. Steelers are extremely lucky to be there and will have to be extremely lucky to win again. They can do it because they are the luckiest team in the NFL.

The other thing; I see newborn babies on the web dressed in Steeler outfits and I just think: Those poor little bastards!

Hopefully, Rogers plays the whole game, everyone picking the Packers will be shocked in defeat. Ben is NOT going to lose this game, write that down. He has way too much to prove to let a first time Super Bowl QB outshine him. And don’t underestimate the SB experience factor, it will be huge Sunday night. The Packers will be down 17 points before they know what hit them. Rogers is everyones darling right now because he had great games in these play-offs. Now it’s time to pay the piper! Steelers 27 – Packers 20

I know what you mean. After all the criticism of Steelers and their organization. Maybe reverse psychology is at work here? Someone hopes the Steelers lose by making a disingenuous pick? Bad Mojo at work?

Let’s not forget that just over a year ago, the Steelers beat the Packers in a shootout. I realize they’re not the same rosters, but the main core is intact for both sides. I don’t doubt for a second that the Packers could put up 30+ on the Steelers D, and I also don’t doubt for a second that Ben would be able to keep up.

I don’t understand people thinking the pack have an advantage because they have been ” playing playoff football ” since week 16…. The steelers were also battling through the final weeks to secure top spot and a bye.

Should be a great game, between 2 great d’s and fairly comparable offenses. I think the steelers experience will be a telling factor when it’s all said and done.

Although the pack have a good offense, I don’t think they have enough to score enough points against the vaulted Steeler D.

Steelers 23- packers 17

Go Steelers!!!

Just skimming through Steelers’ past seasons, it’s interesting that they only play like 1 indoor game per year. It wasn’t until last in 2005 when they play and win multiple times indoor.

I wouldn’t go betting the bank on a Packers loss if AR gets knocked out. Let’s not forget Matt Flynn played a hell of a game and was 20 seconds and a blown play call away from beating the Pats.

No, they didn’t win, but you can’t take away the fact that Flynn was effective and is perfectly capable of moving the ball.

While fans can guess at the final score, most Superbowls have been decided on a few wierd plays that no one predicted.

These posts clearly show that there are more Steeler haters than Steeler fans throughout the country. That’s ok with me. Rodgers gets two TDs, not enough to overcome the three scored by the offense, and Timmons on a fumble return.

Packers were supposed to lose to the Falcons because Micheal Turner was going to pound the rock all day. How did that work out?
Packers were supposed to lose to the Giants because they were going to pound the rock all day. How did that work out? Packers were supposed to lose to the Eagles because they couldnt stop Mike Vick from running. How did that work out?
Seems like Steelers fans are pinning there hopes on winning if they can knock Rodgers out of the game. Hey if you cant beat them just injure them. Sad

You can say what you want about this game on paper but you can’t forget about the intangibles. The bottom line is that Green Bay may have peaked in Atlanta and the first quarter against Chicago. Pittsburgh keeps getting stronger, and if they wouldn’t have tried to run out the clock in the second half, would have put up 38 against the Jets.
This isn’t gonna be as close as people think. Pittsburgh 31-14.

Any other team’s fans posting negative towards the Pack or the Steelers and saying they don’t deserve it can be summed up in one word:

Jealousy.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

“So, it seems to come down to the differences between the offenses, and which can better exploit the other defense’s weakness.

Thus, can Aaron Rodgers play better than Rashard Mendenhall? No Brainer! Packers! 31-17.”

You’re forgetting something.
If the Steelers can pound the rock all day, manage the clock and effectively shorten the game, well, Rodgers can’t hurt them if he’s on the bench.

Steelers 24-13

LOL yea the Steelers might just get that last minute win like they did against the Cardinals, except maybe this time it’ll actually be a legal catch in the end zone? Amazing how the refs got that one wrong.
