I want to see the Steelers win it just so we can see if Ben gets as little credit for being a 3 time SB winner as he does for being a 2 time SB winner.

Interesting thought, but a lot of truth there.

PIT knows they are in the last stages of Ben's career...some of it well deserved, but Tomlin has taken more grief than most HCs with a ring and two trips to the SB...it will be interesting to see how much credit he would get for the retooling.

None of these defenses are going to remind you of the 85 Bears but all 4 have played better down the stretch.

I know the idiotic NFL system rates defenses by yards, but the Pats led in scoring and are pretty stout against the run. It will be interesting to see how much they can limit Bell. He might be the best back in the NFL. I haven't seen elusiveness like him since Barry Sanders.

Recall that the Zebras gave Ben one of his rings.

I doubt it very much, they are 2-2 w/ Brady if the QB played 1 min or 50 min, that shit doesn't matter. Now if you said revenge for the SB with Favre and Desmond I could buy into that because Kraft was the owner

Okay I will say it this way. Brady has never won a game against the Packers where Rodgers started the game as the QB so am sure he would like another attempt at that.

I don't Brady is 0-1 vs Rodgers in GB no biggee. I think the SB loss to GB is more of a revenge factor for Kraft's sake

Everybody gets a break one way or the other.

And same for Rodgers with a Dan Quinn coached team where he is 0-3 against

I'm not talking about a break. Name one other SB where the head of officiating expressed regret over poor officiating affecting the outcome of the game.

So officiating mistakes don't actually happen unless their admitted too?


Interesting.

Try turning off your auto-argue app.

That SB stands out as having been determined by poor officiating. When the head of officiating admits it, there's something to it.

I'll quote myself again for sonny...

If the best Cowher could do was beat fucking Seattle under Holmgren then he is by far an Excuse Me Super Bowl winner...
