I'm just surprised that the Packers are the favorites after a ho-hum offensive showing today.

you guys seem to forget we are playing in a dome and especially against pittsburgh whom isnt so good against the pass.

We they have a nice run D and get sacks; but if arod lights it up in the sky ... IMO we should trounce the steelers.

Steelers are tough, but we faced tough teams before and we will do it again.

Very true, but the Steelers were also able to ice the game with their offense, something the Packers failed to do a number of times in the 2nd half in spite of many opportunities in Bears' territory.

I also thought there was a perception that the AFC is still stronger than the NFC, the Steelers have more SB experience, etc.

Again, don't get me wrong, if the Packers play like they did vs. ATL they showed that at their best nobody in the league can beat them. However, based on what I mentioned, I figured Pitt would be slight favorites.

Makes sense when you think about it. The Dome thing makes Rodgers a lot more dangerous, so its like giving the Packers the home field advantage and giving them the -3 hometeam thing. But I suspect the line will move with people betting on the Steelers D and experience (and the fact God is a Steelers fan).

You know what's crazy, that Big Ben is under 30 and this is his 3rd SB. You forgot how young he actually is. I think a lot of the Steelers success is the D but he still has to stand in there and come up with those late game drives.

The thing that scares me about the Steelers is that they're a real team. One part of the team folds and the other picks it up. For example, Ben R sucked against the Jets (35.5 rating with 0 TDs and 2 INTs but to be fair he did run in one) but the D held the Jets to 3 points in the 1st half and Mendenhal had a solid game.

They always seem to do that. When their D folds, their O explodes. When Ben R sucks, the rest of the team compensates.

I was really hoping we'd face the Jets. We can beat the Steelers but this game's not going to be easy.

I agree - but I do like the fact that the steelers secondary isnt as good as the jets ... and I like that we are playing in a dome; so Im a bit interested to see how many yards we get in the air vs the steelers.

But the same is true of the Packers...actually the D has never really let the team down, the offense has just sputtered at times.

Taking off the green 'n gold glasses, I think this is just one hell of a game. 2 teams that are basically the same from fan following, to history, to elusive qbs, to dominant NTs, this is just an amazing match-up that Godell must be drooling over right now!

wpr (1h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (1h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (3h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (4h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
