Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I figured it would be close, most of us did. But who expected the Packers would be blown out? Nobody west of the Appalachians. Congratulations to the Falcons, I hope they represent the NFC well and win the Super Bowl.

I'll watch it, but only to keep my streak alive of never missing a Super Bowl (on TV) in my lifetime. I read an article about these three friends that have gone to every Super Bowl. That's a lot of money!

And then Crosby missed that field goal.

Ugh.

I didn't think GB would keep up. The defense it simply too weak. Too porous in the secondary. I though it would be a sad day.I almost didn't even turn the game on but I had to give it a shot. I was on to other things by the middle of the 2nd quarter.

Its one thing to not have key players on offense. They can make adjustments. But when it's on defense unless the backup players step up beyond their abilities they will be eaten alive by a QB like Ryan.
