I don't like GB against Pitt, that's why. GB hasn't faced a defense like Pitt and they don't have a running game to keep them honest. GB does have some young guns on the outside, but Rodgers looked a little...fuzzy...after the hit from Peppers. Curious how rattled he got and how rattled he'll be with Harrison and Woodley coming at him on every play. Also, the Pitt running game absolutely gashed the Jets defense which is worlds better than GB's...Personal opinion from watching the games so far.

If the Packers team that played the Falcons shows up, and the Steelers team that played the Jets show up, The Packers will win handily.

Interesting stat, the Packers are only the Second Team in History to be the 6th seed in the superbowl. the first? 06 steelers.

The only Packer on the current Roster with a superbowl ring is Kuhn, from when he was on the Steelrs Practice squad.

The Packers are a young, injured team. They did something that, according to all stats and what not, should not be able to be done.

It will be a fun, exciting game to watch, whatever the outcome.

Playoff seeding is a joke. Packers are a 10-6 #6 seed when the Seahawks were a 7-9 #4 seed in the same season. They need to fix the system.

Yes, the seeding is a joke. Still an interesting stat.

I think the pack lost by an average of 4 points per game too, which is just stupid. Thats bad coaching/play calling if you ask me.

Well...good game (mostly. The Packers receivers looked bought off through 3 quarters), good outcome (for me). Worst National Anthem since Rosanne Barr. CA had the nerve to say "thank you" at the end. Yeah, Christina, all those people paid $4k for tickets so they could hear YOU. No...they were actually cheering because you finally *finished* ,a-hole. Expected more from the Black Eyed Peas (not a big fan...but my daughter could be Fergie's twin.) Worst year for commercials *ever*. Can't recall laughing once, and if I ever buy Tostitos again ya'll have my permission to key my car.

CA sucked, agreed.

Commercials? C'mon, the beetle crusing through the woods was cool. I thought the Mini commercial was so innappropriate you had to laugh.

Packers, yeah, if you took away all the dropped passes and took away all of thier turnovers, the packers still would have killed them. Yeah, bought off is just about the only way you could look at it.

Awesome fun game.

I just wonder how Tomlin was able to change, perform as Will i am and still get back on the field so quickly.

Good bet you snagged, Jack. I got smacked around on double or nothing bets running from the Pitt/NYJ game, missed in my pool by that Pitt TD at the end of the half instead of a FG, won the coin toss, lost the over/under on the anthem (though it's bullshit cause she didn't sing the ******* thing), hit paydirt with a Nick Barnett INT and a modest income from AR throwing for the first points.

But, adverse to risk as I am, I hedged everything against Packers and the over, but for shits and giggles (and some recklessness), I parlayed with Pitt -2.5 at the start of the second half, so I ended up decently ahead for the day against the accrued losses.

Holy cow. I thought the game was supposed to be fun, not math.
