Super Bowl 45

[Packers]

Hey Steeler fans I promise not trying to rub anything in but Rewatching it again we are very lucky the game wasn't 2 minutes longer. You guys were catching up fast. I didn't remember either we had a 21 to 3 lead and almost blew it. The momentum really shifted in the 2nd half and I think your defense would have stopped us to get Ben the ball back if the game was 2 minutes longer. What do you guys think? I remember getting nervous in the 2nd half.

I just remember that Rodgers had to make about 3 absolutely unbelievably perfect throws to win that game and they are still just ridiculous.

Also, if the Steelers were not into out of position WRs for that final drive --- I think Ben authors a drive for the ages and that game goes the other way. Of course, if Woodson doesn't get hurt -- not sure he wouldn't have had a pick in that game.

It was a good game and really could have gone either way.

I have never even watched a single highlight of that game.

No kidding. Yeah want to talk about the time my dog died as well?

To the OP, do you watch the replays of the game you guys lost to the Broncos? just curious, idk, pretty stupid question to ask if we ever watch a SB we lost.

"Packers" seems like pretty good people. A lot better than the Patriots troll shitting all over the Belichick draft thread in the NFL subforum.

I remember thinking "This would be EXACTLY like the Joe Montana drive against Cincinnati if they pulled it off," and then immediately they fucked it up, and then my next memory is of throwing up in the dim light behind a locked public toilet in a park, while some 75-year-old World War II veteran wearing his Navy mission hat shook his head at me disapprovingly as he walked past.

Back to the original point, I still think we would've lost that game. The Steelers might have come in as the stronger team "on paper," but made way too many mistakes, and continued to make costly mistakes all the way until the end. So much as it's fun to wonder, I have no reason to think they wouldn't have made another mistake if the game went on a few more minutes. Simply put, they didn't play well enough to win, and that's exactly what happened.

You got that right.....

[saturdaysarebetter]

I remember Mendenhall fumbling that killed a potential touchdown scoring drive in the second half when the momentum was all ours.

I'm not denying that he might be a good person, he just has a tendency to ask stupid questions like 'do you ever guys relive a painful SB loss?'.

Not a bad guy, just not a very bright one, or one with much common sense.

To answer his question bluntly: No, I don't watch that sh*t, don't ever f-ing ask me that again. Now we can talk about anything else and it'd be fine. The Yancey Thigpen drop, sure. That's cool

[st33lersguy]

I remember packers receivers dropping a lot of passes. I think that kept the game close

[tube517]

I remember Manny Sanders getting hurt and he was the best #3 WR at that time (better than ARE and Mr. Big Chest).

Then the pick w/Ben under pressure w/the crap O-line, from the end zone.

Troy was also playing hurt during that postseason so he wasn't the same.

Also, Mendy's fumble.

Oh well. We lost and like Vasteeler said above, I don't watch replays of SB losses.

Remind me never to visit this thread again.

[steel striker]

Yeah that was a very good game could have went either way and, like in the above post Mendy's fumble really changed everything. Or from the packers view the Clay Mathews hit the changed everything. The steelers had MO on their side just before that turnover. Rodgers was great in that game.

[86WARD]

Momentum shifted and then Mendenhalls fumble gave it back to Green Bay.

Yep. There were at least 3 passes that hit Packers receivers right in the hands that would have been walk-in TDs had they held onto them.
