It wouldn’t be 7 or 8. The Steelers really made 3 big gaffs that gave it to the Pack, if they avoid any one of them they win. In the end the game boiled down to this, the Pack played great all game except for one receiver with a bad case of dropsies, and the Steelers never really managed to get above good. Everybody talked about the Packers injuries but remember Ben and Troy were playing with busted feet, not so noticeable in Ben’s performance, but Troy only blitzed like 4 times in their entire playoff run.
Pack were definitely the better team yesterday, but I ain’t giving better team 7 out of 10 times. I think perfectly healthy these are two pretty evenly matched teams that would come about 50-50.
Again, those turnovers weren't gaffes. They were the result of bigtime pressure D. Combine that with the fact that the Pack were playing without 7 starters (including their defensive leader and player of the year) and all the uncharacterisic dropped balls, and it's quite obvious that Green Bay is superior. 7/8 of 10.
