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.

Fun read, this thread. I didn’t have a dog in the fight, but here’s my impressions:

The Steelers seem to function like a tank, steady, stable, chewing up yards and clock time, and coming after you. The Packers seemed to be the guys shooting from behind the trees, from every direction, hungry for the prize.

The Steelers didn’t look hungry until the last two minutes when the Pack only managed a field goal, leaving the window wide open. But the Pack defense outplayed they Steelers offense.

The Packers looked like they knew the Steelers offense pretty well, and were able to figure out a way to win. I thought going in the Steelers were the team to beat, although I watched them lose twice on Sunday nights this year. They lost the same way, just ran out of steam or something.

With all the injuries, I was surprised to see the Packer keep advancing every weekend. After they drew the Bears in the final four I knew they’d make the big dance, but history seemed to be writing up the Steelers win in advance. I didn’t expect the Pack to pull it off.

All that yapping make you feel better? If the receivers don’t drop those passes that Rodgers threw into mailbox sized windows the game is out of hand in a hurry - and Rodgers has a game for the ages. It has to be one way or the other.

The Steelers have lived on its tough defenses for years, even decades. When they force a game changing turnover, is it just luck? Or, is it good Steelers football? Then why is a good defensive play by the other team just luck?

All I know is that the score was 31-25 Packers when I went to bed last night and it is 31-25 Packers in the sports pages today.
