I can pick a team when I don't care who wins; would that that had been the case here. Joel Send a noteboard - 08/02/2011 01:57:20 PM
As it stands, I hate both teams so much that there was no truly happy ending; again, one way or another Roger Staubach had to hand the trophy to ONE of the two teams that have caused Dallas more grief than anyone except perhaps SF--and do it IN DALLAS, standing next to Bradshaw, who conducted the post game interview while Staubach exited stage right, largely because of SBs X and XIII (the last game Staubach ever played).
I rooted for the Steelers. Why? Because I have no strong feelings either way about either team, so I rooted for the AFC.

Also, this was not a great game. It was a mediocre game. Just because it was relatively close for much of the time, doesn't make it great. There was a lot of poor play on both sides. Rodgers played really well, and would've had a great game statistically if his receivers didn't drop all those balls. Overall, Green Bay won because it made less mistakes.

The drops weren't good, but overall the Packers played well, despite a depleted secondary. You can't catch every pass (though you SHOULD!) and Green Bay looked like the championship team they are, while the Steelers looked like the inferior team they are, whether it was Roethlisberger tossing picks or Polamalu getting beat for easy TDs in the corner of the end zone. Green Bay didn't make any truly big mistakes; no turnovers at all and smart decisions on offense and defence. They deserved the win, and they got it.

At least they're not the Packers. Joel - 06/02/2011 11:32:18 PM 642 Views
Ill go with the Packers (not as many accused rapists on that team) *NM* Aisha - 06/02/2011 11:31:43 PM 317 Views
Guilty once accused? Joel - 06/02/2011 11:59:01 PM 657 Views
Packers! nossy - 06/02/2011 11:57:53 PM 598 Views
Bleah, but OK. Joel - 07/02/2011 12:02:01 AM 677 Views
And the Packer pick off! nossy - 07/02/2011 12:08:27 AM 601 Views
I'm'a stop responding to you 'cos Roethlisberger throws a dumb pick every time I do. Joel - 07/02/2011 12:47:23 AM 652 Views
Re: Bleah, but OK. TaskmasterJack - 07/02/2011 10:29:35 PM 629 Views
He did get pushed into Roethlisberger at a very inopportune time. Joel - 08/02/2011 01:31:27 PM 854 Views
Re: He did get pushed into Roethlisberger at a very inopportune time. TaskmasterJack - 09/02/2011 12:16:22 AM 713 Views
Obviously I pick the Pack... Dannymac - 07/02/2011 01:04:18 AM 643 Views
The good news is Roethlisberger's a mediocre QB. Joel - 07/02/2011 02:23:45 AM 642 Views
"Oh, we can't throw deep on 2nd and short because we might loose the ball". Joel - 07/02/2011 02:32:43 AM 708 Views
Better keep replying. Dannymac - 07/02/2011 02:38:15 AM 534 Views
Seriously? Joel - 07/02/2011 03:20:44 AM 692 Views
Thanks! Dannymac - 07/02/2011 03:31:29 AM 597 Views
NP Joel - 07/02/2011 04:11:40 AM 672 Views
Pack won by 6. Dannymac - 07/02/2011 04:21:06 AM 579 Views
Right, I keep forgetting the last FG, sorry. Joel - 07/02/2011 06:19:50 AM 641 Views
The offense scored 24 points against the best points defense in the NFL. Dannymac - 07/02/2011 08:54:37 AM 669 Views
On a very short field all but one of the times they got into the end zone. Joel - 07/02/2011 09:43:57 AM 658 Views
joel -- give it up moondog - 07/02/2011 01:35:11 PM 620 Views
I didn't say they didn't win fair and square. Joel - 07/02/2011 03:36:22 PM 610 Views
i can't help that you will always look for the cloud to every silver lining moondog - 08/02/2011 01:37:38 AM 611 Views
Again, I'm just saying give credit where it's due, and that's the Packers defence, by a fair margin. Joel - 08/02/2011 02:02:05 PM 668 Views
The Steelers lost because they couldn't move the ball on their last drive random thoughts - 08/02/2011 01:58:28 PM 790 Views
I'm aware; I'm just not sure why that makes Aaron Rodgers the Most Valuable Player. Joel - 08/02/2011 02:04:41 PM 650 Views
because he is the QB random thoughts - 08/02/2011 03:23:23 PM 652 Views
So what? Joel - 08/02/2011 03:39:15 PM 728 Views
QB is the de facto MVP of the super bowl when nobody else stands out moondog - 08/02/2011 03:55:32 PM 675 Views
The forced fumble and the pick six are the two things I point to as game winners. Joel - 08/02/2011 04:52:27 PM 752 Views
game winning plays are different than consistent play throughout the game moondog - 09/02/2011 01:56:53 AM 844 Views
didn't you call Romo a choker because he hasn't won the big games? random thoughts - 08/02/2011 04:24:04 PM 733 Views
Because he's LOST big games as a direct result of things he actually DID. Joel - 08/02/2011 04:56:00 PM 687 Views
no it is a team sport and the his poor play at QB is not the reason they lost those games random thoughts - 08/02/2011 05:16:22 PM 608 Views
and random thoughts - 08/02/2011 05:17:49 PM 773 Views
i think joel's problem is less the west coast offense and more his disdain for all things packers moondog - 07/02/2011 01:33:10 PM 604 Views
There's enough hatred in my heart for both the Packers and the WCO. Joel - 07/02/2011 03:42:51 PM 704 Views
What Denver cheated talk? Dannymac - 07/02/2011 07:44:39 PM 852 Views
All the talk about cut blocking being the same as chop blocking. Joel - 08/02/2011 03:02:38 PM 806 Views
My persoanl preiction was the mirror opposite of the actual result. *NM* Stephen - 07/02/2011 03:31:08 AM 268 Views
I hate when that happens. Joel - 07/02/2011 03:55:35 AM 628 Views
gghrhahrhghg! ßelals Girl - 07/02/2011 04:08:17 AM 661 Views
For once we agree completely. Joel - 07/02/2011 04:17:50 AM 856 Views
Actually we just beat the second coming... Dannymac - 07/02/2011 04:23:46 AM 640 Views
I loathe both teams and their fans; I find Packers fans far more insufferably arrogant. Joel - 07/02/2011 06:28:22 AM 674 Views
Super Bowls, Super Bowls, Super Bowls. Dannymac - 07/02/2011 08:42:39 AM 700 Views
Pittsburgh isn't a large market? That matters since the Pack instituted drafts and profit sharing? Joel - 07/02/2011 09:34:03 AM 679 Views
Quite true. We are significantly better than sliced bread. Dannymac - 07/02/2011 07:34:57 PM 600 Views
I know which I prefer. Joel - 08/02/2011 03:14:11 PM 704 Views
