What other team can lose 7 starters and still win the Super Bowl? None but the Pack.
Look at the stats - the Steelers won except for turnovers and score.
You conveniently forgot passing yards (Packers 288, Steelers 261). So the Pack won the passing, turnover, and SCORING stats. ....all with 7 starters out.
The better team won.
Well, at least Aguilera looked good doing it.
“Look at the stats - the Steelers won except for turnovers and score. Two of the three turnovers were lucky breaks - hit the QB’s arm during a throw, pop the ball loose on a tackle when they weren’t even trying to strip it. Take away the 14 points from those lucky breaks, and GB loses every time. Even so, the Steelers almost pulled it off. What other team can give it up 3 times, give away 21 points on turnovers, and still be in the game in the final minute. GB won, they were the luckier team tonight, not the better team. But in the NFL, that’s often enough.”
????????????????????????????????????????????????
What a horrible analysis.
The hit on Roethlispervert was a great play by the Packer lineman, nothing lucky about it at all. A great play by the Packers caused that interception and TD - zero luck involved.
And the fumble by Mendenhall was a great play by Matthews. The best way to cause a fumble is to hit the ball with your helmet, which is just what Matthews did. If that’s not the case, why did Mendenhall fumble? Either Mendenhall choked, or Matthews made a great play. Which is it? There are no other choices, crybaby.
The Packers deserved to win the game because they played better - period.
He is really someone the kids can look up to. At least at this stage of his career. My hope is that he doesnt let it get to him like Farve did. Farve was always kinda arrogant and it really showed later.
You keep going with that. It’s rubbish, but if it makes you happy.
I would still rather be a Steelers fan than any other fan in the world. I love us.
Come on. I'm a Steelers fan, and it sucks that we lost, but hitting Ben's arm wasn't luck. Our second string center got beat, and the defense got through.
I'll be wearing my 'Black & Gold' tomorrow proudly. And I will be giving Rodgers the credit he deserves.
The "Brett Favre era" is officially over, and that's a good thing!!!
God the cops will be busy with the breathilizers.
Blow into this son..and we will get the situation under control.
Rothlesburger is a white male. White males are always considered guilty. No conviction needed.

If Jay Carney doesn't work out as Gibbs replacement, you might want to fill out an application.
You can spin with the best of them.
Oh, knock it off with Obama. Tomlin gave his media interview and took responsiblity for some bad decisions and for the Steelers turnovers and penalties. He was classy. And he’s had one hell of a season and a lot to deal with. Keep politics out of football, if Obama can’t.
The Law is for all.
That may be the only good thing that comes out of this. But... Has anyone actually heard the words "I've decided to retire" out of Favre? If he's said it, I've missed it.
And that felon should never have been allowed back in the NFL. Vick is trash. There I said it. Dog abusers are trash.
You got eaten alive by turnovers. Face it and get over it.
I love us too! Its a sad evening for the Stiller nation, but just WAIT til training camp out at St. Vinnie’s n’at!
Love Those Black Eyed Peas, TONIGHT GOING TO BE A GOOD NIGHT!
