Fuck the Evil Empire of Belicheat!!!

I can understand hating obnoxious fans (its why so many hockey fans in Canada hate the Montreal Canadiens: they're not only obnoxious but French on top of all else!), but rooting for someone needs to have more to it or you might as well cheer for the refs.

I know what Kilmoll is saying about the Steeler D. Aaron Smith looks to be close to coming back, shoring up a D-Line that was a bit banged up but still doing the job. The linebacking corps is second to none and Clark and Polamalu are as good as safeties get. I do worry about the corners at times, especially McFadden.

I also don't know if Ashur would make a citizen of Steeler Nation seeing as Lamarr Woodley is another Michigan product... I guess you could just say he's godly despite what they tried to turn him into in college...?

I'm unofficially declaring for the Steelers for next season.

Go Stillers!

The Tampa Bay Bucs will be the next dynasty.

The Superbowl pre-game starts tomorrow, right?

Predictions!

Steelers 27
Packers 31

MVP: Aaron Rogers

I agree with a 58pt plus game, just not your outcome, obviously.

Although, i will laugh my ass off when this thing finishes 13-10, or 9-12 all fieldgoals.

edit: pregame has started today, yes...and Aaron just stepped up to the podium...disrespected his playoff beard and shaved it.

Playoffs are over!

Betting line is Packers -2.5

Over under is 44.5 points.

I'd take the Steelers and the over. I will not bet on this game though.

I am a huge Packers fan. It is pretty surreal to me that they've made it this far. Hell, this team lost 7-3 to the Lions in November -- a loss that nearly put them out of the playoffs. It's been a hell of a run since then, and I feel like they not only deserve to beat the Daterapeberger, but that they are destined.

People still live in either of those towns?

Crazy!

Hey now! Be nice Canno-beer: the 'burbs of Pittsburgh are pretty nice. Economical too, compared to a lot of places (even in Cannuckistan). And I love Pittsburgh's beautiful downtown: confusing to get around in but GPS are a wonderful thing.

And being drafted into Steeler Nation by my wife has been a lot of fun. For a long time, although there were teams I disliked (like the Patriots) I never had a favorite team but the Steelers were one I respected. Being able to say "yes they're my guys is cool", even though I'm still reserving judgement on Roethlisburger (he's played hard and been a warrior but he still needs to prove IMO that he has learned some serious lessons and is changing his behaviour... and that will take years). Wearing my Woodley jersey to the draft party at Hines' (er Heinz) Field, with my little guy in his Polamalu Onesy was a blast. I still respect teams like the Ravens but I don't like them (and I don't feel any sympathy for the Browns or Bang-als).

I think this will be close. If its a blow out, it will be the Packers O torching our secondary. But I am saying (not betting!) Steelers 17-13.

I am saying 30-24 Steelers, but the Pack will have the ball at the end of the game

I'll say 30-24 Packers just to be contentious.

Fuck you guys and your high scores. 12 to 16, Steelers.

Well, I suppose it is a step up from Calgary

*OHSNAPZ*

24-17 Steelers, and Brett Favre will text a picture of his wiener to "Big Ben".

Stillers 9
Fudge Packers 0

Stillers win on a safety followed up by a late INT returned for a TD by Troy Polamalu's hair. Aaron Rogers looks even more hungover than usual after game.

Hahah, can't get much closer than that!

Yes you can!

DAMN!

Is the Winnow jinx really over? I thought that once he came out for the Packers, the Steelers were guaranteed their win.

Oh Well. It wasn't a bad run for a team that most weren't picking to make the playoffs. Good game. Tense to watch. No controversies to shadow an awesome performance by Aaron Rodgers and his O.

Over by 2, you lose.

We were both a total of two points off the actual score except I nailed one of the scores and called the MVP as the tie breaker!

miir wrote:The Chicago/Green Bay game was pretty good but this is gonna be a pretty dull superbowl.

I couldn't even make it through the first half before turning it off to go do some shit around the house.
Dullest superbowl in recent memory.

Who cares if you thought it was dull. Green Bay won that's all that matters!

I'm happy they won too
