Line opened at Packers -2 and currently resides at -2.5.

If the President doesn't want to come see us play in the Super Bowl, we'll go see him at the White House after the game.

AFC game was highest rated game in 20+ years. This SB should be a great game and prolly set a viewing record of some kind also.

I'm mancrushing on Mendenhall, btw.

That o-line is so bad, it's embarrassing.

But dude just keeps churning and getting yards after contact.

A buddy of mine at work (also a Steelers fan) and I were just looking up former Steeler centers to see if any of them could be brought back to play in the game if need be.

Mike Webster - dead
Dermontti Dawson - 46 years old and fat
Jeff Hartings - retired in 2006, born again, likely fat and/or broken

That whole situation really sucked.

My guess is Favre will be in attendance, rocking Packers gear.

GB will be inspired and win 24-22.

Mean Joe Greene jumps out of a hot dog cart and piledrives Favre.

You mean Kevin Green?

He was in WCW for a time, you know.

Over on the Favre thing's a mortal lock, it might get there even if GB weren't playing.

Favre flips the coin, guaranteed.

I can see Harrison doing the championship belt thing.

And being fined.

I DON'T WANT SOCIALISM MIXING WITH MY SPORTS

^ LOL.. .I read Glen's post and KNEW it was going to be something like that.

I was expecting a "Go Packers!" from at least one of you two.

Seriously, I just want a good game. I know..."suuuuure you do" But the Pack is a division rival and I don't care much for them.

Suuuuure you don't

+1

Y'all know that Polamalu is my boy, and while I feel confident that he will dominate, as usual, my pick to click is LAMAR WOODLEY.

Polamalu's been out there in the playoffs?

He's played more than Ray Lewis, that's for sure.

Touche

I've heard his name about as much as Ray Lewis's.

You'll get to hear it plenty this weekend.

Won't be hearing it as often as you'll be screaming mine.

:NH:

I think Rodgers can be rattled.

If :we: can hit him in the mouth early, I like :our: chances a lot.

"Y'all" are going to need to play a full 60 minutes.

I hope Rodgers can stay healthy.

I kind of don't even want to watch the game, because I'm still disgusted.

Merrill says the Steelers win if "their offensive line plays their best game of the year".

Now where did he get that?

So Ben's going to get sacked 6 times?

Mendenhall is kinda "beast", though. If the Steelers win, he'll be my choice to win MVP.

Merrill also stole my "unsung hero" schtick. At least he had the smarts to change it from Woodley to Timmons.

Antonio Brown, period.

I've picked him twice and he hasn't failed me.

I've avoided it up until now, but starting today, I am embracing the hype.

I don't think either QB, yes even the great Aaron Rodgers, will have a huge game.

Gotta hit Rodgers. Check out his numbers after the Bears hit him, he went downhill.

Ben seems to get better after being hit.

I don't see a lot of scoring (from the offenses) either.

I like you (a lot), and I respect the hell out of the Steelers (if I wasn't a Ravens fan I'd be a Steelers fan), but I must see them lose.

I can't take these innernet Steelers fans.

NH

I wonder how much it would cost to buy replicas of the 6 (7?) rings?

I would wear them EVERYWHERE.

I'll admit, I also want to see the Packers win because I want to see if Rodgers pulls a Sheed and gets everyone a championship belt.

UNSUNG HERO: DOUG LAGURSKY

I don't want to see either Flozell Adams or Arnaz Battle win a ring, so I'm rooting for Green Bay.

Flashback to the (2005?) NBA Playoffs. ESPN using Black Eye Peas "Let's get it started".

This shit still gives me chills.

I find it hard to believe that Mike McCarthy can win a Super Bowl.

Steelers 23
Packers 13

I'm gonna get off the fence... GB 31-26.

But I'd rather have a great game over ^ prediction.

I'm gonna get off the fence... GB 31-26.

Unless they are scoring on D or getting a bunch of short fields, not sure where you're seeing GB score 30+.

Packers 24 Steelers 22

Woodson picks off a pass in the final two minutes to seal it.

Unless they are scoring on D or getting a bunch of short fields, not sure where you're seeing GB score 30+.

^ Translation: "you're not saying Steelers D isn't going to show up, are you?"

Gotta say, I love Richard LeBeau to death. I'll be saddened when he passes.

If the Steelers didn't have so many bandwagoners on the innernets, I'd be fine with them winning

Looks like peeps aren't going to post, so I'll have to go enlighten y'all some more in poli-sci forum.

24 to go.

17 to go?

Yeah, if GB is going to score on D, this might not go well.

Penalties. Ugh.

Tomlin needs to unleash hell.

ONLY CHARLIE BATCH CAN SAVE US

^ JUST DON'T CALL IT BEFORE HALF TIME G DAMNIT!

This will be a game in the 2nd half.

Hey, it worked before.

Ballgame.

Need 7 here. 3 or 0 and it's over.

Steelers players falling and getting injured left and right.

Change shoes?

horsecollar not called

Whichever team wins this last 5 mins is pretty damn important to this game, imo.

Advertisers seem to be trying too hard with these commercials. Too many special effects.

The Kenny G one was good, though.

Bad throw. Double coverage. This seems like the Packers' game.

Bud Lite spent a ton and their beer still sucks.

Packers scoring on D, getting short fields, just as you had it pegged, Tahoe.

I felt like if one team was really going to score, it would be GB. But I'm still smh. Surprising nonetheless.

Great hit by Polamalu, good for Jennings for holding on.

This might (or is) getting ugly.

thereyago

pass downfield always helps.

Woodson did a Stafford there. Rolled over to land on his shoulder.

At least with Woodson his momentum was doing that. Stafford is just a dumbass.

4 down territory here?

So many injuries. We'll be seeing third stringers by the 4th.

Woodson doesn't look good and that is really bad for the Pack.

So many injuries. We'll be seeing third stringers by the 4th.

No kidding. It's almost like the field is abnormally hard.

A fg makes it a 2 score game. I'd be happy with a FG here.

^
^ like TBeau

Man, McCarthy fucked up there, imo. He should have called a TO to let his D regroup after losing 2 backs. But so be it.

11 pt game. Sets up good for a good 2nd half.

That was nice. Might not be a bad idea to go 80/20 pass/run, even though they are running it fine.

Hey. We have a ball game.

That was nice. Might not be a bad idea to go 80/20 pass/run, even though they are running it fine.

I think it was as much about the type of throws. The first interception was because of the hit on the arm. But I think the Steelers do better when they throw downfield.

As long as there is protection, yes.

(TWSS)

By the way, what the fuck is the NFL doing with those white washed gray shirts. Is its the late 80s again? Are we going to see dudes in mullets and their jeans rolled up at the ankles?

^
^ like TBeau

Nice. :NH:

The Steelers are fortunate right now to be down only 11.

I went into this thinking that, much like the NBA, that this was Green Bay's "process" year, and that maybe next time they would cash in. They're the 10th different NFC Champ in the past 10 years, so the field is weak, they may just go on a nice 5-8 year run.

So do you think Jimmy Johnson goes to Jones and asks, "So how's life after winning with the team I built, you rat bastard?"

This isn't the Ravens the Steelers are playing, the Pack have a competent offense and they're going to keep throwing the ball competently.

Howie's "home run hitter" analogy for Ben is actually, surprisingly, pretty cogent.

<---- doesn't care for the halftime show, ever.

This little "pretend concert in the round" thing is so overdone.

Fergie's got to be in the butterface hall of fame, though.

But props to them for actually going relatively young this year. The ballers like to be entertained, too.

INTERNET STUD

I'd hit it.

I hate medleys. Just play a damn song.

This is kind of "concepty".

SLASH, LMAO

Sweet child o'mine? really?

SLASH

TAHOE!!!

So awful.

Neil Young next year?

I'm telling you, those shirts, Slash playing...it's high school all over again.

This is terrible.

Oh no, let's get it started.

I'll predict Paul McCartney or The Who next year.

LedZep reunion would be nice.

Gordon Lightfoot.

^ I would not complain.

Gordon Lightfoot.

I lol'd. Very loud.

wife just made oatmeal raisin cookies

"SUPERBOWL 46, LET'S DO THIS"

"SUUUUUUUUUUNDOWN, YOU BETTER TAKE CARE"

I'm done with this.

tv off

tell me when game is back on

Lmao at 115

That halftime show was an absolute travesty. Usher almost saved it, but then those fucking idiots came back.

thanks for telling me that the game was back on

Hello, Uncle Mo!

Tomlin at the half = unleashed hell

^ No shit.

currently drinking: Miller Lite pint in aluminum can from 16 degree front proch

^ make that " pints"

just realized %lm toasted


work tomorrow is listed as questionable

I nailed my slushy beers today...3 in a row to perfection.

might have to sign off soon to watch this, I like what I'm seeing

Usually it's good to change up for the Super Bowl but not for the Steelers. Run game and throws downfield.

tempting to go for it here

should have, fck

What in the fucking fuck was that?

That last Stiller possession could be a mo changer.

^ in a not so good way for the Stillers.

I hate you, "Jordy".

Wallace proved himself pretty damn tough tonight. He mighta coulda caught another pass here and there, but still one tough hombre, imo.

Steelers can't complain about the call tonight at all.

That face mask penalty gave Steelers a short field before the half. And he didn't even grab it.

incomplete! yayyaaya

Our first SB Challenge.

Even risking the TO it's worth the challange. It's a first down or giving the Steelers the ball back in good position.

Holy frog fuck

I think the Steelers might be lucky that wasn't a TD.

Steelers D has shut GB O down for a quarter and half?

GB should at least get a FG here.

How in the hell can you drop that pass Nelson.

NVM...he made up for it.

To steal TMQs schtick, that was a stupid time to blitz.

very well designed play, there

I'm pleased. Sorry, Glan.

Happy for Rodgers, Jennings, Driver and Woody. Those are my guys.

Decimated by injuries all season long, and lost a couple key contributors tonight. Still got it done. Impossible to hate this team.

Vince Lombardi would be proud.

I'm gonna get off the fence... GB 31-26.

I mean, that ^ shit is amazing shit.

Steelers would've gotten it done had it not been for that penalty, though. I have no doubt.

Pack gonna dominate the Central?

Game itself wasn't that great, IMO. Close, but not all that entertaining.

yeah cuz they beat us 28-26.

Game itself wasn't that great, IMO. Close, but not all that entertaining.

But my prediction made it a tremendous event, didn't it?

Game itself wasn't that great, IMO. Close, but not all that entertaining.

agree

But that prediction of mine...

Highlight of the night was easily The Commercial.

or that prediciton of mine.

Lowlight being the halftime show.

Beating the premier NFL franchise in the Superbowl must be pretty grand.

<-------- Tomlin fan. Mike, not Lily.

Not as grand as Tahoe's prediction.

HIS PREDICTION WOULD BE BULLSHIT IF JAMES JONES DIDN'T DROP THAT PASS

"IF"

Not as grand as Tahoe's prediction.


Great post.

Pcak deserve the win.

gonna go nail my wife

Pcak deserve the win.

gonna go nail my wife

Spousal abuse. Not cool.

Ok, I'm done.

SB's don't seem as epic as they used to. Thinking, it's prolly cuz I've seen so many, but y'all are saying what I'm feeling so maybe not.

They're only "epic" when the games are any good. This one kinda sucked, even though the team I rooted for won.

When the games suck, they just seem like some kind of bloated thing.

But it was a 4pt game for a quarter and a half. It was in reach.

^IMO

Was there one play from this game that you'll remember? Like Tyree and Santonio's catches, or Porter's pick six?

Pcak deserve the win.

gonna go nail my wife

Hmm, sit around and post with losers.. nail wife?... see ya fellas.

Oh hell yeah, there were lotsa plays. I just can't remember them.

^ your prediction, I think, was pretty memorable. Gotta hand it to you, bro.

Hmm, sit around and post with losers.. nail wife?... see ya fellas.

BUT 'OUR' PACK WON.

Let the Steelers fans grieve.

Time to hit up "Currently drinking..."!

Breaking news: Big Ben shaved his beard off after the game.

How many rapes will it take to console him after this loss?
