also Im imagining next season once we get grant, finley, and our whole Dline and burnett back. We almost dont need to draft well have so many players returning to a SB winning team.

yes a return man - KR and PR; not some make shift dudes ... like a danny woodhead cough ... I wonder if well try to fill in a Oline position again for our 1st round ...

not even sure we need a ROLB; zombo and walden seem pretty good to me - not sure wed get someone better but who knows.

got to agree - Im predicting at least a 2 TD lead over the steelers and us keeping that unless Mike McCarthy goes soft and lets em get 1 TD in the end...

See, this is what I'm afraid of. For the record, I'm a MM fan. But NOBODY is perfect and his flaw is he won't step on the throat of a man on the ground.

When the team is down, kill them. MM rarely does that. He has, but he needs to do it more.

I like what Finny said about going after the "other" CBs.

Dakota is right on as well. Look at the Saints and the Pats games predominantly. Not so much the whole season but just these two games.

The Patriots are a passing team. They beat the Steelers 39-26 and 23 of the Steelers points came in the 4th Q. Belichick passed, passed, then passed some more. Haven't gotten to the play-by-play yet but I'm guessing most of the rushing came in the 4th Q. Pats threw 43 times vs 24 rushes. Their lone rushing TD was Tom Brady.

Same thing with the Saints. 44 passes vs 21 rushes and 3 of those rushes were Drew Brees downing the ball to end the game.

Air it out. Yes, Starks will get 15+ carries. As he SHOULD. But I also want to see Aaron throw it 40+ times like Brady and Brees did.

I want to win this game. Steelers have the NFL's #1 D. They're #1 against the run and #12 against the pass.

I'm confident though that MM will know what to do. Don't be surprised if it's Jordy or Jones with huge games.

I'm not disputing it, but I've never heard Ike Taylor called a shutdown corner before.

I'm not saying shutdown corner as in Champ, Revis or Asomugha, but Ike Taylor has allowed less than 55% pass completion and only 1 touchdown this season. That's some good ball right there.

What's that compared to the Packers top three CB's?

Nothing really. I'm just pointing out that since one Steelers CB is decent and the rest suck ass, let's throw at the ones who suck ass.

I'm assuming since you're a Packers fan, you'd know the same information for the Packers CB's, that's what I'm looking for to compare against shut down corner, Ike Taylor. 🙂

ESPN's statistician was on this morning. He said in the playoffs this year the team that has both more rushing attempts and more rushing yards has won EVERY Playoff game.

The Packers outrushed the Eagles, Falcons, and Bears.

I am not concerned.

Um yeah, could that be because when a team is the lead, they tend to run the ball more?

I wouldn't mind seeing some screens either. Slow down the pass rush. Get Starks in the flat. Do those count as running plays?

I agree zombie - MM seems to take his foot off the gas if he goes up early; and then just goes into 'try hard mode'. Check the bears game. We stopped them quickly by being up 14 then just did nothing past that; our D is what keeps us in the games.

Remember the giants game; we kept getting take aways is the only reason we were up so many points; the offense didnt have anything better to do then to score.

I think the atlanta game is the only one MM still dialed it up. I think he was too afraid of their power and thus didnt let up (which he shouldnt) ... The same intensity that he starts the game with he should end it with.

Dont care if we are up 14+ ... take it to the house and dont expect the D to always keep em in check. Granted I like our D and its ability to do that for us. I just want the D to be the icing on the cake.

Id like this superbowl to be whatever MMs play calling is on the first 2 drives they are similar throughout the whole game. With our wideouts making mincemeat out of their secondary; our RBs flying to the outside and grabbing 3-9 yards; and then some of those RB plays that net 1 yard up the middle to keep em honest (but only very few) ... Most of them I want to see the ball in the air and see their linebackers just tired and frustrated.

What other team in the NFL has a better receiver set and a QB to match it?

Steelers might have the 12th best passing D but whom did they really go against? ya they went against atlanta, NO And NE

heck they had atlanta and NE at their house ... while we played them both at theirs.

I see so many pundits talking about how this will be a close game; like you I dont see it unless MM makes it so. And if he doesnt then I see all hell breaking loose with the peoples tongues as they sit their gaping at greenbays score.

I saw a quote from McCarthy that strongly implied wed see lots of passing. Somewhere in the quote, he used the phrase I dont want to run into a wall just to run into a wall or something like that. Its gutsy to go empty with 5 wides vs Pittsburgh but the Packers went 5 wide more than twice as much as the rest of the NFL combined.

Personally, I believe that means they need to have their best pass protectors in the backfield, no matter if those guys dont run as well as other guys. Thats what I think the Packers will try to do this Sunday. It is their best chance to have success against an outstanding Pittsburgh defense.

As long as they dont consistently run on first down, they will be alright. Being second and nine all game long is a killer. Still, this should be a great SB, two elite defenses unlike last years offensive showing.
