NFL dream game just like the NFC Championship game.
We played them last year in week 15 and lost 37-36 on a last second pass from Big Ben.... I think too that he threw for 500 plus yards..... So, I think the staff will look back at that game a bit...
Pouncey will be a big topic for 2 weeks. Was on crutches. Not a good sign.
On bad side, Steelers so good against run that there is a good chance it is a one dimensional offensive game which of course, is not good. On good side, Rodgers will be able to enjoy ideal conditions.
Ben scares me on offense, but Packer's D ought to be able to pose troubles, especially with Steeler's o-line woes.

Pretty evenly matched teams.
Two best fan bases in the NFL.
It will be one for the ages.

Got no sympathy for any other teams injuries.quote:Originally posted by Blair Kiel:

Climate controlled environment. Watch out Blitzburg.
Getting to Big Ben may not be as big a problem as bringing him down.
I heart Dom Capers.

This secondary is a whole lot healthier and overall better than that secondary last year. I know it will be played up for 2 weeks but IMO it means very little.
I think Polamalu did not play last year vs. Packers. His presence could be a big factor against the Packers passing game.

Going to be a long two weeks for you.
On that turf, Rodgers gets to wear his comfy shoes.

I meant that we can play with this team and it took a lucky throw to do it...
The media will play the whole 6 superbowls to 3 rather than focus on the presuper bowl titles.
You can pressure on Big Ben, but you have to get him on the ground. Agreed that he holds the ball out there to be stripped. The DBs should have a chance a few picks as Ben will take some chances.
AR12 and the entire O will use todays performace to fuel the fire. Gotta spread the LBs out make them run wih the WRs.
M3 will likely have to lobby the ref and his crew as the steelers like to pile on late.

Let's not forget in the game that R MaN referenced, we got hosed by the refs more than once. They should've never been in a position to win that game.
Even though it means nothing for the upcoming game, I want to get some revenge for that loss.

Tell Starks to hit the pine. 5 Wides, quick reads, and numnerous slant patterns will do.

Me too. If there's a snowstorm, and the JerryDome collapses, Goodell is going to make us play at Soldier Field again. I read it on the internet.

Same here.
Pouncey's injury is huge. Raji(the bust) is lurking
Position by position:
QB - wash
RB - PITT
OL - GB
WR - GB
DL - wash (IF Aaron Smith plays, otherwise edge to GB)
LB - wash
DB - GB
S/T - Edge to GB if you can believe that. Their kicker is Shaun Suisham for God's sake

We have Masthay....that's all we need.

I'm concerned that Masthay is going to hit the scoreboard.

wash? I'd give the edge to AR. PITT went 3-1 without Roethlisberger... GB lost 2 without Rodgers.
Washington isn't even playing in this game. How dumb!

Anyone else I would give GB the edge, even Brady or Manning. But, I give Roethlisberger credit for doing nothing but win. It may not always be pretty. He's very tough to bring down and can make plays by running the ball and keeping a play alive. Look no further than the last play that ended the game tonight. Kept the play alive and drilled it for a game ending 1st down.
10-2 in playoffs is tough to argue with. Soon to be 10-3 but only Bart Starr has been better in the postseason, record wise.

I disagree. Harrison, Farrior, Timmons and Woodley are much better than Walden, Hawk, Bishop and CMIII.
Sucks to be a Steelers fan, I'm afraid
Packers are "home" team for 45. Their pick of jerseys. I hope they wear the white.
They've been on their run in white, let's finish it that way. Would symbolize their road to Dallas.

Is Woody the only Packer with Super Bowl experience?
As it has been all season- if the Packers don't make mental mistakes, they should win. They're better.

Was wondering.
Good points. I'm really torn.
Going with white might not suck.
The Cowboys did it when they didn't suck so much.
Tough game for us -- and for them. Does it seem like the Steelers take a lot of head shots? Harrison hit some guy with an elbow after he goes down, Farrior hit another guy with a head shot, etc. After Peppers crunched ARod today and he didn't play well after that, I don't want the Steelers getting any ideas...
