Defense wins championships.
Nice to see what can happen when receivers actually catch passes
But an offense can win when the top rated passer in NFL history wakes up. Good pass, Rodgers. Back to 11 point lead.
Steelers are back again but not out.
Got a tip for us?

I hope Steelers get a touchdown and keep us on the edge of our seats. If GB hits one more TD, it's over.
Everything the Steelers did with that 8 points could mean the game. All they have to do is get that TD and extra point to win. If anybody can do it, it's the Steelers and one time out with 2 minutes. It is possible.
Being a Cowboys Fan ... I am just happy for a good game.
Would like to see Big Ben pull this out though
Edit ... Congrats to all the Packer fans. ... good game

I have terribly mixed emotions on this. Steelers got Packed, that is a good thing. But a 4th down incompletion? What a sad and pathetic way to lose.
And I feel sad for my best friend who lives in Oshkosh. The entire state will be intolerable until mid November (when they are 3 and 8).

Only one thing to say...WOO HOO.
Green Bay did stagnate for two quarters, but they hung in and prevailed!

A great game..though a tough way to end it for Pittsburgh.
And on a personal note...I won the pool for the 4th Quarter. Almost makes the fact that I had to work today bearable.

I gotta feelin. Woohoo. That tonights gonna be a good night. Ladies and gentleman. Lombardi is going back home where he belongs!!! This is the way it was meant to go down. Cowgirls and viqueens still suck. Brent who? And the beginnings of a reestablishing dynasty in TITLETOWN USA!!!!!!!
Whatever! ... GB was lucky ... if it wasn't for that one play where Clay Matthews knocked the ball loose from Mendenhall ... Pittsburgh goes ahead and probably wins.
Dynasty?... lol, only in your dreams ... I am looking forward to the Boys kicking some GB butt next year.
Go Cowboys

Haha! I could list a ton of what ifs for ya if you wanna play that game. With clay and aaron this team is only beginning to show the cgirls how to play
Congrats to the Packers
But I am already weary of the Aaron Rodgers is better than Favre and is the best QB evar!!11 talk
FWIW the Eagles, the Bears and the Steelers all had the ball with 2 minutes left in the game with a chance to win and the defense won the games for the Packers, not Rodgers
Take away the 3 turnovers and the 21 points they gave to the Packers and Rodgers has no chance to win this game and be the MVP
Let the hype machine rage on Rodgers
He is a good QB, but he had never won a playoff game till this year
Let him prove it over a career before he is anointed
Anyway, congrats to the Packers
Let's hope they get the CBA done and we have a season next year

I agree with that.
While Favre is not at his most popular now, he has amazing career numbers. Sure he should have retired a long time ago, but even then after his first retirement announcement, he had a legacy. Rodgers, while promising, is only getting started. I have no doubt we will see him in the playoffs in years to come.
Let's see if Rodgers can keep up the wins, QB rating, and have long term consistency before we put him in the same sentence as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Brett Favre.
The best that can be said of Green Bay is that they won the first SB of this new decade and before they are called a new dynasty, they will have to pick up two more rings with some of the same guys on their crew in the next ten years. Green Bay has a tough path ahead of them with a re-energized Philly, the Falcons, the Jets, and what is on paper a possible future threat with the Cowboys.
This GB squad has a tough legacy of decades past to live up to. The Pats had 3 Super Bowl wins in the previous decade in a just a four year period in the early 2000s, the Cowboys had 3 before that in the 1990s in just as short a time, the 49ers 4 in '80s, and the Steelers 4 in the '70s. At least with Green Bay taking the first two Super Bowls in the 1960s under their own dynasty, it is nice for them to see the trophy come back to their town.
Yesterday's game showed us once again the changing of the guard of who is powerful in the NFL.
With losses in postseason by Indy, NE, and now the Steelers in the SB, those powerhouses of the previous decade showed us nothing lasts forever. Also with 3 out of the past 4 Super Bowls going to the NFC, the long dominance of the AFC winning the big game is over.
The power has shifted once again back to the NFC and also to younger players/teams just as it had when the previous dynasty of the Patriots got their start and put away former dynasties as Brady and company, along with the AFC in general, put away the dreams of the NFC cornerstones of the Cowboys, 49ers, Packers, Redskins, Giants, and the rest of that conference who were so hot in the 1990s and before in many cases.
What I hope to see are some great, talented QBs shoot it out in Rodgers vs. Sanchez in a Super Bowl, or Sanchez vs. Ryan in what I hope to be a new group of young QBs fighting it out. I also expect some great action from Cutler and Romo, too. Anyway, it will be fun to see some new, dominant faces at QB and see some fearsome defense from the Pack take everybody on. They were really impressive last night on defense.

This good lord. Lets see if he can win a few more ala Brady, Aikman, Big Ben style then maybe we can start the "best QB talk" back up.
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha
alright guys, let's give aarod a break huh? He just won his first super bowl in his 3rd year as a starter and put up some impressive numbers while doing it. He also did it without arguably one of his best offensive weapons Jermichael Finley, whom I believe will be a very formidable threat next year.
I agree that GB's defense won the game, as it should be. Anything wrong with that? Nope, it's a huge part of the game often overlooked by fans that need constant flashing lights. I hope Charles Woodson still has a few strong years left in him but he may be on his way out but it looks like shields and bush can step in very nicely. The Pack overcame some devestating injuries to put on a very impressive sb run against some great teams, having to beat chicago twice, atlanta, philly etc just to get to the big dance. It's time to show them some respect.
Peace out y'all see ya in a few months!!!!!!
(hopefully)
On another note, Christina Aguilera may be a talented singer (debatable), but she didn't do herself any favors with that National Anthem.
The sound mixing of the halftime show was abysmal, and it was embarrassing.
The commercials were basically "meh".
The Doritos commercial with the finger licking and pants sniffing was disturbing.
The House parody of Mean Joe Green was Ok
The one where the girl throws the can and hits the other girl was pretty good
The Doritos where the chip crumbs resurrect the fish, plant and grandpa was mildly amusing
I kinda liked the one with Darth Vader kid
One thing we know about Super Bowls... repeat visits have become few and far between (and in fact, teams that make the playoffs and return to the playoffs are not a given)
Soooooo, with that in mind, who are the teams to beat next year?
Jets have been knocking on the door, I think it is their year
Saints are too good to keep down, I think the Falcons step back
