    And the Packers WRs have the advantage against the Pittsburgh CBs. That's why they will win & cover this game. Packers 24-20.

    You have to be able to run, to throw. I believe you may be mistaken.

    24-20?

    Haha, thats just exactly what Vegas is calling the score pretty much. If the lines turn out to be sharp, this should be the exact score... or maybe 24-21

    Tell that to the Pats, who took apart Pitt's D, and who ran for just 69 yards before they started rushing just to run out the clock.  They also had a 43/24 pass/rush breakdown.

    Also, the Saints threw for 305/2/1 while rushing for just 30 yards! They had a 44/21 pass/rush breakdown.

    Before all that, the Steelers lost their first game of the year to the Ravens, who rushed for just 70 yards with a 37/27 pass/rush breakdown.

    The Jets loss was pretty flukey and if not for that opening kick-off return TD probably wouldn't have been a loss. But basically that game, considering it was basically pure defense, is not relevant to this conversation.

    Basically, the three teams that flat out BEAT the Steelers focused on the passing game. And the Packers' passing game is the best they've seen.

    LOL best they have seen... ..... The Pack good but lets not confuse them with Brady and the Pats... In two regular season games this year vs the Bears  the Pack scored a total of TWENTY SEVEN POINTS.. Brady put up 33 in ONE HALF vs the Bears... Rogers is more like Brees and he put up a whopping 20 at home with a late TD vs Pitt.. Thats more of Rogers speed.. Rogers is good but he cant shine Bradys shoes especially in his first SB.. Rogers and the Pack better then the Pats on offense..
    Be careful with the axe Eugene.

    You're highly delusional my friend.  Seek some help.

    The Packers are not the better team. 

    Pittsburgh has a better QB.  They have better RB's.  They have better WR's.  They have better a better defense.

      Good luck Sunday.

    Before all that, the Steelers lost their first game of the year to the Ravens, who rushed for just 70 yards with a 37/27 pass/rush breakdown.

    The Jets loss was pretty flukey and if not for that opening kick-off return TD probably wouldn't have been a loss. But basically that game, considering it was basically pure defense, is not relevant to this conversation.

    Basically, the three teams that flat out BEAT the Steelers focused on the passing game. And the Packers' passing game is the best they've seen.

    Packers -2.5

    The Pats/Steelers game was a while back as was the Saints/Steelers game.  Look what the Pats did to the Jets earlier this year.  Look what the Brownies did to the Saints earlier.  Look what they did to the Pats.

    See my point? 

    Who fucking cares?  It doesn't fucking matter.

    Bring up some relevant points please.

    By no statistical measure is Green Bay the better team.

    The Steelers actually won their division, for example.

    lol

    The Steelers have a better QB & better WR's? You're the one that is delusional. Greg Jennings & Donald Driver will own the Steelers CBs. That is the advantage in the game. The Packers have very good CBs. Pittsburgh's secondary is overrated. Polamalu is a play maker, but they doesn't mean their secondary is as good as everybody says. The Packers will set up the run with the pass in this game. No QB is playing better than Aaron Rodgers right now. I don't know how you can claim Roethlisberger is better. The only thing the Steelers have on the Packers in this game is experience, but the Packers will prove they are the better football team come tomorrow & I strongly believe that. 24-20 Packers.

    Ok, this thread is turning into a bit of a pissing contest at this point...

    Let's all agree that the Packers' secondary earns the nod over Pittsburghs'-- not exactly a secret. Woodsen and Williams are a formidable duo, they are athletic, and opportunistic, and have good hands ie they make INTs.  But that facet of defense is merely a component of the Green Bay "team". Regarding their respective  pass-rush, I believe it's a toss-up, tho GB is quicker off the edge while PITT is more powerful up the middle. Now, ARodg has looked impressive this postseason save for the 2ndH @ CHI after Pepper's came up under Rodgers' chin, after which he looked pedestrian. On the other side, Big Ben has not one, but TWO rings --- and he's chomping at the bit for a 3rd... like him or despise him, the guy just gets it done, and he's the FIRST person to admit that it is rarely "pretty" or whatever... the fact is, offensively Pittsburgh's rushing attack is far superior to that of the Pack, and conversely, nobody is BETTER at stopping the run than the Steel Curtain. When healthy, the best defender on the field for EITHER team is #43 wearing black n gold, ergo his well-earned Defensive Player of the Year honors... Crosby has the edge over Suisham in the kicking game, but in the kick-off return department, Pittsburgh ranked 12th in the NFL I believe...

    Bottomline, two very evenly matched teams, but Green bay's one-dimensionality on offense gives me pause to agree that Green Bay is the better "team"... historically, the BEST teams both run the ball AND stop the run, and PITT is the only squad in this SB match-up that I can say excels in both departments...

    Donald Driver will own the Steelers CBs

    Driver is closer to 40 than 35 and is a bit gimpy.

    That assertion is silly.
