It was surprising to see Green Bay and Pittsburgh play as badly as they did. I guess they expected to win.

I bet the Steelers are kicking themselves (again) for talking so much smack the week before the game.

maybe if they practiced more than talked they might have had a chance?

Reminds me of a playoff game early on in the Pats/Brady era, where I think it was the Ravens or the Panthers that were talking about having their tickets and hotel rooms all booked to the Superbowl...before they played the Pats....and lost badly!

BB does have a way of keeping his players in control and lets them celebrate AFTER the game is over just long enough to prepare for the next opponent. That's the way it's been since the beginning!

No more "Bledsoe stage diving at the Paradise", no trips to the RI strip clubs, just football!

This is shaping up to be an epic game. The "old" guard vs. the young, the experienced leader vs. the newcomer, both QB's with something to prove and with teams that can/will back them up!

I'd go with Brady's experience against Ryan's desire.

Either way the winner will have earned and deserved the victory!

GO PATS!!!

I am a legend in my own mind!
