SUPER BOWL!!!!

So I'm sure my faithful fans are wondering what the world's most faithful Packer fan is thinking right now. I turned my phone off during the game to ignore all of my Detroit Lion fan friends texts... but it was a great to turn my phone on to the barrage of "We're going to the Super Bowl" texts.


I'll get to the game in a minute but these two weeks of hype in Milwaukee are wonderful.  The radio has been littered with talk of the 12 (soon to be 13) time World Champions.  This morning on the radio they were talking about whether or not you would take Aaron Rodgers or Big Ben if you had to start a new franchise.  Foolish commentators saying they would take Rothleisberger over Rodgers... morons.  On the way home tonight the host was asking whether or not the Packers made the right decision three years ago freezing Favre out in favor of Rodgers.  OF COURSE IT WAS.  Favre would have thrown 7 interceptions in the playoffs and we definitely would have lost.  I admit, I was wrong.  It has turned out to the be the right decision.  As one host says, the time to cut someone loose is often before we think.  My bad.


As for the game.  I think this hinges on two things.  Can Rodgers not turn the ball over or get killed by Polumalu and whether or not we can get some pressure on Big Ben and not allow him to shake 5 tackles and make a big play.  We can't get pressure and then let him loose, then we're in some big trouble.  I am 2 for 2 in predicting the Packers Super Bowl games in my lifetime.  I absolutely KNEW we would win Super Bowl 31 and I was nervous from the get go to play Denver in Super Bowl 32 and was right.  


Rob's Prediction: Packers 45 - Steelers 27.  Blow OUUUUTTTT!
