Congratulations to the Packers.
Turnovers lost us the game. But we got beat fair and square.
It’s been a tumultuous season, to say the least, but I’m a proud Steelers fan.

Hey! Congratulations to all the FReeper Packer fans. Your team was outstanding tonight! Vince is smiling tonight!
He should be in jail without even being charged with a crime? What a country! But I guess you know what happened that night.
If the Sore Loserman posters didn’t have the year 2000 on ‘em, I’d post a pic of one just for you.
Wasn’t pulling for either team, but thought it was a great game.
Congrats to the Packers. The NFL got what it wanted this year - a close game between two teams with huge fan bases.
Bragging Rights for the 13 time!
Steelers Played good !
The Best Team in History wins again!!!!!!!!!!
Sexual predator? Who are you talking about?
IDK about whether the Packers will be back next year but I doubt the Stillers will. They are getting old, and fast. You could see they were out of gas by the middle of the 4th quarter. The Pack wasn't. And that's why they won.
If there is a next year.
If there is a next year.
Probably more strippers per capita than any metro area in the country.
I wasn’t very familiar with either team going it.
Just watching the game, it seemed that the Steelers were the better overall team, but the turnovers were their undoing. The Green Bay offense was able to put up enough points for the win.
Packers 13 World Championships after they beat Steelers!
The Steelers are one of the oldest teams, starting in 1933, Never won a Championship until 1975. Took them 42 years to win one Title!
The fifth-oldest franchise in the NFL, the Steelers were founded on July 8, 1933 by Arthur Joseph Rooney. Originally named the Pittsburgh Pirates, they were a member of the Eastern Division of the 10-team NFL. The other four current NFL teams in existence at that time were the Chicago (Arizona) Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and New York Giants.11/30/2009
_______________________________________________________
The Green Bay Packers have won more championships 13 than any other team in National Football League history.
They won their first three by league standing (1929, 1930 and 1931), and nine since the NFLs playoff system was established in 1933 (1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1996).
Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice (1929-30-31 and 1965-66-67).
In addition, the Packers won the first two Super Bowls (over Kansas City in 1966, 35-10, and over Oakland in 1967, 33-14), as well as a more recent one (over New England in 1996, 35-21).
Since the league implemented a playoff system in 1933, the Packers have played in the NFLs deciding game 12 times (10 NFL title appearances from 1936-67, two Super Bowls after the 1970 merger). Only the Giants (18) have played for more titles.

3 weeks ago when the conference games were lined up I said my Steelers would have a hard time with Rogers. He went basically perfect today. Sometimes being right sucks. Green Bay definitely earned this one. And don’t count Green Bay out, they’re a good team. They pulled this off leading the league in injuries, they’re actually a better team than we saw this season.
We got six Super Bowl trophies. Best team in history? Methinks not.
I guess it’s a novelty to have the poor Packers get a ring for a change. But the Black and Gold will always be the best and have the best fans. Cheeseheads come and go, but the Steeler Nation never falls!
There was a joke going around that a condition of Michael Vick's parole was that he couldn't be around dogs. Why is Ben still allowed to be around women?
Tomlin wasn’t a Rooney Rule interview. He was recommended by friends. And frankly he’s a really good coach, 3 out of 4 seasons in the playoffs, 2 out of 4 seasons in the big dance. Now many coaches with anywhere near that kind of record.
