Packers win by 3 you bastards...

This Super Bowl is what is great about football.  Two small market teams, two iconic teams, playing for the championship.  Both teams have a huge fan base and make money.  Just try getting a season ticket for either of these teams.  You will wait about 20 years. 

Now you see why a lockout is necessary  .

See yinz after the game or tomorrow after I post bail.

just got in...howe's moonpiddle holding up?

You think they threw it away?
Or did they get beat. They did not lose, they got beat, there is a difference is'nt that the case, The Steeler got nothing IMO to be ashamed of! Am I wrong. What did I miss?

Nothing to discuss.  You nailed it all right there.  As I posted on Facebook eariler today, Black Eyed Peas is definitely a cheese head band, and an armpit shaving male metrosexual band.  The Steelers had no chance.

Ok they gave it away..............
Armpits, black eyed peas or whatever? I was tryin to be polite.

Bart Starr was at the game Cool!

I give credit to the Steelers for coming back and making a game out of it. But this could have been worse. If the Packers would have not dropped 10 balls,it could have been a blowout. Mendenhall fumble was HUGE. Personal foul on kickoff on Steelers last possesion hurt. Don't know why the Steelers didn't challenge deep more in the second half when woodson was hurt. But after all was said and done,due to some creative betting strategy on my part. I managed to break out even and even hit a square on one of my pools. RIP NFL if their is a lockout.

Yeah,your right about Legursky. With 2 weeks of practice,he played a lot better. Raji was a non-factor. The Pack couldn't put the Steelers away. But big Ben missed on a sure TD and also made some bad decisions holding the ball too long. I think he could have ran with it a little more. Wallace never could get open deep. Oh well Rob. The Yinzers still have 6.

And every day the paper boy brings more.

just saw moonie down on the corner of lake and hennepin with a bottle of gin, a box of kleenex and larry bird. i think he may need more time.

Ok after a day of reflection let me comment on the Steelers season. The bowl was a microcosem of the season really. Legursky stepped up big as so many before him had. However costly penalties and turnovers at key times doomed them. Every game when Ben faced a true top notch QB (Brady,Brees,Rodgers) he was outplayed. Their luck ran out on Sunday as really they should not have been the 2nd seed. They should have lost in Miami and to Buffalo and were lucky to escape Atlanta week one. A cheap holding call on a punt return for a TD on Baltimore in playoffs set up the chance to make the miraculous throw to Brown late to win that one. I doubt we could have won in Baltimore or New York. Our luck continued when Jets ousted Pats who we would not have beat in NE.The secondary which was patched with McFadden was exposed again because of poor cover corners and an obviously less then 100% Polamalu. How many years will Steelers allow special teams to kill them? Packers outplayed and out coached them and were worthy of the win. If Rodgers receivers had caught half the drops the game was a bigger blow out. So the best team won and our magic ride is over. We are older and I think may be a few years away from challenging again so this loss is tougher to swallow when we were that close. Drafting in the hated 31 spot only compounds matters. Oh well now time to move on to my Washington Nats.....ain't life great?
