I don't see haters or crusaders-that puts al the blame on the fans and nothing on Favre-the liar. Forgiving him is one thing, hiring him is another(I heard they want to bring him in to represent the team).I supported him until he left the Jets. When he retired while sending his medical reports to the Vikings the next day did it for me. I wouldn't support this. One too many bridge was burned in my case.
The only thing they need to worry about is a superbowl hangover.
That's what I thought during the game - although I don't think it was a classic "spear", more of a head butt
I don't see that at all.

It real time you could see Jennings had just barely crossed the line when he got smashed. Nothing dirty about it IMO, just a hard hit trying to jar the ball loose. 
I just watched the slow mo replay of that hit 6 times and I have no clue what you're talking about. He didn't hit him with the helmet. He was trying to knock the ball out. Can't believe Jennings held onto that.
Agreed, it's pretty remarkable. I thought the Steelers O line held up well despite losing Pouncey.
He was called a traitor, Judas, Brent, egotistical jerk, etc. etc. He was booed on his first and last appearances at Lambeau. The mere mention of his name would bring out venom in some Packer fans. Yet you are ready to "forgive" HIM now?
Yeah...I would call that a MAJOR waffle on some Packer fans part.

Seriously. Are you TRYING to start something. I watched the replay many times and I have yet to see an angle that shows he even made helmet to helmet contact. More of a push than anything.
I like to call him BrintUnderachievers said:He was called a traitor, Judas, Brent, egotistical jerk, etc. etc. He was booed on his first and last appearances at Lambeau.

I'm not sure Pitt is going to come back. Super Bowl losers don't generally make the playoffs the next year.Cookiemonster said:I can see a SB rematch in the very near future between these two teams.
The last two did, and the Steelers are not a normal SB loser. I'd be shocked if they missed the playoffs next year.I'm not sure Pitt is going to come back. Super Bowl losers don't generally make the playoffs the next year.Cookiemonster said:
That's true but he won't be diving head first like he did before and has a more protective helmet. It is definitely a concern. I hope they give Flynn more play time this year just in case.When Grant comes back they'll have a 2 headed RBBC with or without Jackson. Finley's quick throws will help too. That guy's is as un-coverable as a player can be.
There are a lot of rumors running around down here about Flynn to Tennessee (Titans GM is one of Thompson's best friends too).Hoping none of its true...I like what I saw from Flynn as a capable backup for a few years.
He was a surgeon that night. Talk about mental toughness and a cannon arm. Scary to think that he's still improving.
2005 Steelers postseason opponents combined reg season record was 51-13cincy 11-5Indy 14-2Denver 13-3Seattle 13-3
2007 Giants@ Tampa - 9-7@ Dallas - 13-3@ Green Bay - 13-3vs New England - 16-0Combined playoff opponent record was 51-13
All 3 were #6 seeds weren't they?
I figured they might be one, just from the Brett era Packers and Pats.
I know this Steeler team will never get the recognition it deserves because of the Super Bowl, but these defensive stats are pretty impressive. The Steelers played some of the best offenses in the league that year and held them all to at least a TD below their Points/Game average.The columns are Team, Playoff Seed, Points / Game Rank, Points / Game, Points Allowed by the Steelers, Yards / Game Rank

Giants weren't a #6 seed. PIT was the first #6 to win it all, and GB became the first from the NFC to win it all. Giants must have been a #5.
Giants were a #5 but I think became the 2nd team ever, after Pittsburgh, to win 3 road playoff games.bryhamm said:Giants weren't a #6 seed. PIT was the first #6 to win it all, and GB became the first from the NFC to win it all. Giants must have been a #5.
Give your shtick a break, man.
He did miss several throws in the first half. He came close to coming back later but I really expected more from him.It seemed the Packers prepared a lot better than the whole Steelers team though so it was hardly just on Ben.
That miss of Wallace deep was terrible. He had no pressure on him at all. That throw that Bush picked was into double coverage. Nobody was on Miller at the snap nor at any time during the play.
Maybe Hass is a stretch, but I don't see much seperating Cutler and Ben. I'm wondering if Ben maybe struggled with his knee after he tweaked it early on. He looked completely outclassed in the Super Bowl.
Yes but judging teams by their playoff seeding is not always indicative of their quality.
It's based on W/L record isn't it? When we brag about our playoff record, that's a W/L record as well isn't it?
Seattle was a #4 seed.Were they stronger than GB or Baltimore or the Jets (and yes, I realize the latter 2 were in the AFC)...were they better than those seeded below them?
Along these lines, I hate when anyone suggests that a team like this year's Packers is among the most impressive Super Bowl winning teams ever (just an example) because their postseason schedule was so tough. Um, it was so tough because they were only a wild card team. You can't say they are a more impressive champion than a great team that had a great regular season, which enabled them to have an easier postseason schedule (because they had a bye and possibly two home games against lower seeds, as opposed to three road games vs all of the high seeds), and then went on to win it all. A great regular season has to count for something.Let me put it this way:Team A goes 14-2 and then wins the Super Bowl by beating a 4 seed and both 2 seeds.Team B goes 10-6 and then wins the Super Bowl by beating the 1, 2 and 3 seeds in their conference and then the 2 seed in the SB.Which team was better? Team A, of course.
As bad as Ben played, I still think he did better than what Cutler had been doing until he got hurt. Cutler looked like a complete mess. Ben missed some key throws (miss to Wallace, overthrowing Miller, the entire final drive and interception # 2) but he didn't look awful for the entire game. Cutler looked awful for the entire time that he was in the game.
I think it depends on if you have a way to get it off your DVR and archive permanently (Say on DVD/Blu-ray or backed up on a computer hard drive). If not, then you keep watching the damn thing until you've got it memorized. I am able to save recordings long-term so I am pacing myself.
