Sorry but couldn't we do one for Ben and the Steelers the last 10 years too? So many similarities.
Maybe but the Packers were supposed to be a dynasty(like 3-4 rings in the 2010s) after the super bowl in 2010.....The Steelers were considered old and slow on defense from 2011 to 2014, so not close to being considered a future dynasty. ...At least the steelers with Ben have been to 3 super bowls and the period from 2004 to 2010 was better than every Rodgers period with the packers
But it's true that the killer Bs era were full of drama, injury at the worst possible time and disappointment in the playoffs
This, plus Rodgers has always been considered "elite" whereas Roethlisberger has always been considered a "2nd tier QB" by a majority of folks outside of Pittsburgh and the Steelers fanbase.
Hell, even a sizeable chunk of the Steelers fanbase has bagged on Roethlisberger for years - mostly younger fans who weren't around from 1982-2004 and haven't been "treated" to truly inept QBing year after year.
But, I guess it was the Packers' STs' and the cold weather's fault (which, after all, is so unusual for Lambeau Field in January ) that the "elite" and soon-to-be NFL-MVP-for-the-second-year-in-a-row couldn't generate more than 10 points on offense this time around...
rodgers chokes in big games, too bad he didn't vs us in the SB though
Many talk about the game of Ben in the super bowl XL but many forget the NFC title game of Rodgers in Chicago in 2010(the lone NFC title game win for Rodgers) when he had been just awful too!...He is 1-4 in the NFC title game and the packers offense had only 14 points and Rodgers had 2 interception in his win...Good thing that the Bears offense(with a pick 6 for GB) were just awful

9 TD,8 INT in 5 NFC title game for Rodgers and 3 of his TD pass were in garbage time in 2016 vs Falcons
I'm with Fan76 and, Rodgers has had some real bad playoff losses. Plus he was awful last week against SF. Having Ben ranked in the second tier QB group always ticked me off a bit.
Better than the Chargers.
All Defense!
