Hey, when Ben got suspended for 6 games, before preseason ever started, I figured this year was a wash.

So I’m proud of the rest of the guys for stepping up and performing like they did!

Charlie Batch deserves a bonus for his work this year. (now we wait to see if next year even happens)

Green Bay made the Superbowl super. There was no one else to beat so they went ahead and beat the AFL too. Pittsburgh was more or less forced to leave the NFL for the upstart AFC. Know your history before you spout off

Yep. And now the team is old and on their way out. 2011-2020 will probably be another 1980s for you.

Cowher's influence has worn out.

But it was a great run.

When you’ve got the Towel you’ve got all you need.

Apparently it just wasn't enough tonight though.

Many Packer fans out here in the Northwest. Still sore over the questionable calls that lost the Seahawks Super Bowl XL against the Steelers. Way to go Packers!

Wasn’t the Terrible Towel a knock off on the Dolphins’ hankies?

Truth hurts. I don’t even watch the NFL anymore but am glad the obama Steeleres lost.

No. Myron Cope came up with it when he wanted something to get the fans revved up. Proceeds benefit special needs people, one of whom is Cope’s son.

I never heard that as the origin. Generally accepted was that the Terrible Towel was an evolutionary step from the Babushkas that were waved to rally the team. And even that was rooted in the Green Weenie for the Pirates, a sort of bad luck charm waved at the other team.

Both of these were superbly marketed by Myron Cope, the Steelers color man and Bob Prince, arguably one of the really great baseball play-by-play men.

No, they weren’t. No one liked the Steelers chances for either game. Darlin’.

LOL who’s the ignorant one? I am not a supporter of the NFL, who slammed Rush so he couldn’t be a minority owner or support a team* who helped get obama elected but what the hey?

*That would be Pittsburgh for those in Rio Linda.

The Steelers were favored by 3.5 over the Ravens and 3 over the Jets.

Pick ‘em games, essentially. ....considering they were home games for Pitt.

We got six Super Bowl trophies. Best team in history? Methinks not.

Umm, Green Bay has 13, THIRTEEN!!! World Championships. Even though it's convenient for Steeler fans, you can't just dismiss all the years prior to the first Super Bowl. Pittsburgh was founded in the early years and they had every opportunity to winn a championship or two before the first Super Bowl but were only limited by thier lack of ability.

Dismissing the years prior to Super Bowl One, is like dismissing George Washington because there were only 13 states when he was president. Get a grip.

The best team won tonight and it is much more likely you will see Green Bay back in the big game than Pittsburgh, simply because the Steelers are aging fast while the Packers are the 2nd youngest team in the league. With our youth and the return of all of our 15 guys on IR, Green Bay will be formidable for years to come.

I was not unimpressed in any manner by the packers or rodgers. Their receivers looked to be some of the worst in the league and dropped way to many balls. If they had not had the game handed to them on a silver platter the outcome would have been very different.

Ben lost the game for the team with the interceptions but other than that the rest of the team played well/ Especially the walk on Lugurski did a great job of handling the nose tackle for the packers and the guy only got one helmet on chin hit on Ben that should be drawing a fine.

I doubt the packers will smell the superbowl or a long time since i did not see anything special in any manner from their offense or defense. You packer guys forget we see Baltimore twice a year every year and know what good teams look and play like. Be glad yinz guys got Ben on a bad day.
