The Road to the Super Bowl

[Lacey Lynne]

Since I'm posting late in the evening in the Great Pacific Northwest, it's already Super Bowl Sunday where most of you are.  Pittsburgh is my hometown.  Born there ... right downtown.  Spent my first 24 years there. 

Honestly, I'd love to see The Steelers win their seventh Super Bowl.  Home town, you understand.

However, Green Bay is hot right now, is a scrappy bunch and wants it badly!

But then again, don't we all?  YES!!!

PACKERS

31-25

Over The STEELERS

And the Steelers were lucky to only lose by that much.

It was a good game.  Packers owned the first 1.5 quarters.  Steelers owned the next 1.5+.  The rest of the fourth quarter seemed to be a "let's not break" on both sides.  The Pack won that war.  Vince is smiling.

But Rodgers for MVP?  I realize there was no clear cut MVP and that the winning QB gets the most attention but I think there are guys on the Packers defense who did more to prevent Pitt from scoring (while Rodgers and his receivers were trying to figure out how to beat the Steelers defense) and thus kept Pitt from racking up the score and gaining the big MO.

I'd give MVP to the Pack defense.  They should all have been up there receiving the award.  They did bend but never broke.  And they had two major takeaways, one resulting in a TD.  The other giving Aaron and his boys easy field position for another TD.

I thought it was kinda OK, not as bad as usual, but not one of the awesome ones either.  But yeah, I'm down with the no MVP, he was just kinda OK.  But he now has put twice the number of superbowl championship teams in Green Bay that Farve ever did.

I agree that Rodgers did a fairly good job but not quite MVP material... It was the defense that stepped up and gave Rodgers some game to work with

I thought Blaine Bishop had an outstanding game. So did Nick Collins. They usually give MVP to the offensive player. My congratulations to the Pack. I picked them.
