Super Bowl Champs!

What an incredible victory tonight! I will always appreciate Brett Favre's incredible legacy in Green Bay, but tonight is about Aaron Rodgers and the Packers doing something very special. Aaron has the same number of Super Bowl victories as Brett now and the sky's the limit for the future (assuming the labor deal gets done this off-season). Aaron even went one better in his performace by leading the way and gaining Super Bowl MVP honors, where Desmond Howard won that honor back in the last Green Bay Super Bowl victory. Aaron won't say it, but the monkey is clearly off his back. Perhaps he needs a new touchdown celebration where he sweeps the monkey off his back. Congratulations to Title Town and the greatest fans in the NFL. Go Pack Go!

Aaron Rodgers Road - make the sign already.

The real playmaker and TRUE DPOY came through huge with that fumble on Mendenhall. Glad to see the almighty Stillers go down in flames!

It's not only that Troy was a non factor in terms of impacting the game positively for the steelers, he actually bit hard on a very simple in and then back out on the Jennings TD in the corner. He got burned... bad. He also couldn't make the play on Jennings other TD when he was in the area.

Troy played a pretty bad game. Meanwhile, Matthews batted a pass and forced a fumble. So, who's the real defensive player of the year? Oh, the guy who made an actual impact on the game and is now hoisting the only trophy that matters.

This game is all on the wide receivers. If the receivers don't drop passes (like Atlanta) I see a very similar outcome. Rodgers will be lights out and the defense will be just fine (Pittsburg's offense? please). It all comes down to if the receivers can catch the ball. If they do, blow out win Packers. This won't be as close as most people think.

Had the receivers played better this would have been a blowout. Even with the drops, we were still able to win though!

Thank you Bretsky.

I was at a Packer bar in Portland with my bro in law and a hundred or so crazed Pack fans. Hell of a game....that is one tough team.

GO PACK!

Still buzzed and getting on a plane for home. Kia!

Read through the thread just now. How is it you guys are saying Rodgers was flustered in the 3rd quarter? The motherfucker was perfect nearly every throw but our ass receivers kept dropping pass after pass. All in all, there were probably 5-6 dropped passes. Add those to Rodgers stats and he's roughly 30-39 400+ yards 4+ TD's. And you guys wanna say Rodgers was off in the game at all? Come on. I also don't get the MM hate. There are times where he does go into a cage, but when the receivers don't catch, NOTHING WILL FUCKING WORK. Jones dropped a sure TD, and you see someone go "DAMNNIT MM THIS IS HOW YOU BRING THE TEAM OUT?" Are you watching the game? Had to get it out, sorry. Just sick and tired of seeing such stupidity regarding Rodgers game, and not sure why hardly anyone notices how well he really played. Other than Berman and Tom Jackson? (I think) on ESPN, no one seems to have noticed how great Rodgers was in this game.

Well made point, but things were looking bad.

Whether it was playcalling, bad throws, drops, penalties, etc, the game went from an 18pt lead to a 1 score, 4 point lead. There was a graphic saying that we'd punted on 4 straight possessions. Three of them were 3 and outs, on the 4th we got a single 1st down. On those 4 series, we netted 16 total yards of offense. I don't think anyone was too comfortable!

I don't remember that anyone was blaming Rodgers specifically, but I'd have to go back and see.

He had two throws that were behind receivers. I thought he was spending too much time setting up to dodge rushers in the pocket.

Fuck...our SB hinges on Nelson and Rodgers. That's all we got.
