I think the Packers have a slight edge and is there game to lose. 

On the other hand, we beat the freaking Bears in their own house!  Yowsa!  everything is a little anti-climatic after that.

Because I'm ethically and legally bound by the 12th Man Code from wishing any success to the Stealers, I'm going to have to go with Green Bay.

How about a little wager??  If the Steelers lose, I'll put, "Barack Obama - America's Best President in History" in my signature line for a full week.  But, if they win, you have to do the same.   :fuelfire:

will go with the Packers . . . I never root for an AFC team unless the NFC team is from the NFC East and is other than the Eagles . . .

Also my husband, who is from Cleveland, has informed me on numerous occasions that the Steelers are 'teh ghey'! :-)

^ Don't think anyone wants to see that.

I'm going with my Packers, because of sheer momentum, and rookie Center for the Steelers is going to be out it looks like. It's our time! We want a 4 Pack!!

The EA Sports Madden franchise picked the Steelers to come from behind in the 4th quarter and win it by a field goal, IIRC--24 to 21.  The Madden game has picked six of the last seven winners--the exception being when the Giants beat the Patriots.

That was a great, if sometimes tense, game.  Pretty much ended like I expected.  If I wasn't watching with my girlfriend, I probably would have stormed out of the room a few times.

As a completely disinterested Pats fan, I can state (completely unbiased save for my distaste for all things Steelers) that the Packers are lucky they pulled this game off. 

Steelers made serious, sloppy mistakes, yet they were in striking distance to take the game at every point that mattered during the game.    Big Ben actually played well?  this game would have been a Steelers blowout.

Packers won, good for them.  However, this game was more "why the heck are the Steelers still in this game" than a game of talent.

All too true.

Good on ya, Pack, but you dodged a serious bullet in this one.

Oddly enough, the Pack played this way most of the season and still ended up in the Super  Bowl.

I was just happy when Rogers got his first post-season win and I really didn't think this was our year to go to the big game but I really didn't want to lose to Chicago in the NFC Championship game, that would have been worse than losing the Super Bowl...until we got to the Super Bowl.

The Packers lost starters all season, including the Super Bowl, and still managed to win.  Really incredible.

Christine Agulara and the Black Eyed Peas stinking up the place along with Jerry and the NFL scamming hundreds of game goers and the Pack over came all of it!

Green Bay is truly America's Team.

And best of all, the Packers won the first Super Bowl in the new Cowboys stadium.  How great is that?!

And it happened on Ronald Regan's 100th!

I couldn't be happier.  :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
