I posted this on the Steelers board. Just wanted to share it here. This game has the makings to be one of the best Super Bowl games of all time. May the best team win.

I have as much confidence as any other Super Bowl year that the Steelers will prevail. That said, I have this oddly calming feeling that should they lose I would be "OK" with it.

Let me explain myself. I've been married to my wife for 10 years. For the first 7 of those she was a Packer fan having been born and raised there. I enjoyed watching and rooting along with her. My first live Steelers game was a trip to Lambeau in 2005 where Steeler Nation was well represented I should add.

With her family still there we've made a number of trips back including one for Packers training camp meeting several players including a then very personable 2nd year Aaron Rodgers.

My wife since divorced the Packers realizing she was truly a Brett Favre fan but that's another story. By then I had come to respect the team and it's passionate faithful "working class fans."

Should the unthinkable happen tomorrow I can honestly believe I'll be able to sit back and say that the Steelers would have been bested by a talented and worthy opponent. They still wouldn't have Six Lombardi trophies and there would always be next season.

GO STEELERS!!!!

Good luck to you packinsteel.
I know quite a few of us on the board noticed her Favre love and for the most part we were fine with that.
I for one was sorry to see her leave the board after his demise.

Today Ed, you are the enemy. Until around 9pm Lambeau time anyway.

Good luck to you...but not too much!

And by the way, we will happily accept Heather back into the fold now that "the ol' Gunslinger," has holstered his six shooter for good. (albiet for a few more possible sexting pics)

I'll pass that along Tripp but doubtful she'll be back anytime soon.

As for today, honorable men in battle. May the best team win. Enjoy the game.

Hey PackinSteel, say hello to your wife for me. Miss her. She's always been one of my favorite posters.

My wife just rolls her eyes everytime I tell someone I hope it's a good game--I told her what my definition of a good game was: GB jumps out to a 21-0 lead in the 1st Q, on the way to a 42-0 spanking of the Steelers.

Anyway, I hope it's a good game... :smile:

I just hope she's not a Big Ben fan now.

Good luck to both fan bases -- just a little more to PACKER fans.

27-17 Green Bay. Woodson with a huge INT. Mark it.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Zero2Cool (12-Feb) : Keisean Nixon is trying to get Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams lol

Mucky Tundra (11-Feb) : Yeah where did it go?

packerfanoutwest (11-Feb) : or did you resctrict access to that topic?

packerfanoutwest (11-Feb) : why did you remove the Playoff topic?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
