Four hours to go and I'm already nervous....

I'm just waiting for the ride to open.

GO PACK GO!!!!!

Hoping for a Steelers/Packers SB rematch. I wouldn't say I'm a Steelers fan, but they're probably my favorite AFC team. 

If I'm asked to pick my favorite AFC team, I like the Steelers & Raiders. The Steelers have done it the right way for a long time. The Raiders are getting back to it now that McKenzie has his stamp on the team.

Ditto what Boris said.

I enjoyed watching the Steelers win it in the 70's when MY Packers were trying to find their way.

I'd rather beat Brady but the Steelers would be a fine consolation prize.

First thing's first!

I don't know how we can pull off a win today. Its going to be real tough given the injuries and poor play by our defensive backfield and lack of pass rush (31st rank). Its been a great season.

RE: 31st ranked pass rush. Based on what?

T6th in sacks

26th opp QB rtg

T4th in INTs

25th QB pct

Don't know how?? Have you been watching the games the last 8 weeks?

We weren't supposed to beat the Eagles or the Texans & their #1 Def. or Seattle or even Detoilet.

Then we weren't supposed to beat the Giants because of their "vaunted" defense. Then we weren't supposed to beat the Cowboys who are the #1 seed.

Please explain to me WHY we can't win this game again??

WTF!!

This is the playoffs.  Those guys aren't worrying about what happened 5 minutes ago let alone 8 weeks ago.  It's all brand new.  You just win, **** the stats.

Stats are for losers. They're a fun thing to talk about during the off-season.

We've got a game to win today....

Right here.....RIGHT NOWW!!!

There is no other place I want to be.

Go pack!

I'm the only one watching this game?  

I am...through tears.....

Me..through beers.

Can't wait to see what Patricia and BB would do vs ATL.

You're putting yourself through more torture? 

I don't have a rooster in this fight so trying to wash the taste of burnt Packer out of my mouth with an actual ball game.

It looks to be competitive....

Eh, I've got Australian Open tennis to enjoy, and then the Champions League resumes in a few weeks....

It's weird to see real defense.  I'm not sure this is the same sport.

Why does it feel like the Falcons will get blown out by either of these teams? Particularly the Patriots

Why Pitt didn't run Big Ben on a QB sneak from the 6" line on first down is beyond me. 

Totally agree with you Boris

I think Atlanta will beat either of these teams. And be favored. 

I hope it is a good game, and Lady Gaga has a wardrobe malfunction

I agree with Chillijon.  I think it's the Falcons' year.

Has the Brady sneak ever failed?

Patriots are getting some favorable calls tonight. 

How pissed do you think PIT fans are at their secondary?  Brady always seems to find an open guy.

Lol at these refs. 3rd down pretty easy PI call. Nothing. Sh1ttsburgh drive stalls. Brady throws an incomplete and they call unnecessary roughness. Then Brady clearly fumbles, the Steelers clearly recover yet replay says otherwise. 

So much for that ascending PIT D.

The Steelers just fired Capers.

At this point it is hard to argue that the NFL isn't going to get the best two teams for their marquee game.

It would be nice if it turned out to be a competitive game.

As much as I can't stand NE I think they'll smoke the Falcons for a variety of reasons.

Disagree about Falcons beating the AFC representative. 

Looks like Patriots. (up 33-9 at end of 3rd Q) The Falcons will have no answer for the Pats running game. Pats will win another Super Bowl. Only way Falcons win is if the Patriots that played the Texans show up. I don't see that happening.

man, that's funny

NE DB never turned to look for the ball and was waving his hand in front of the PIT WR. No flag.
