funny how everybody made an issue out of the #6 seed.....the packers were 2 plays away from being the #1 seed.....it's not like they were the equivalent of a march madness #16 taking on a #1
Green Bay wins by 14+ easily if receivers don't drop the ball ! I would bet GB every time getting less then a FG.
I'd classify fumbles and interceptions in the same category, of coin flips,
as dropping the ball. GB got 3 of those to none for the Steelers. Lucky.
Although dropped passes & poor throws by GB could also be chalked
up to inexperience & 1st time jitters in the SB, which was an advantage
to Pittsburg many of their backers made note of.
I watched GB defense cause those TO's... Pittsburgh's defense didn't cause those dropped passes.
True, although it's not like Pittsburg wasn't trying or incapable of causing TO's.
It just so happened that GB was in the right place at the right time, got that
lucky angle of helmet to the ball, or whatever. Even after you cause the fumble,
the ball can go in many directions and bounce all over the place, so to also
recover it you have to be lucky. If the Steelers get it back, then it's makes a
major difference in the game. As i've already said elsewhere, if they play the
game 10 times the TO's will be about even. If Pitt is up in them 3-0, they win
in a cakewalk by 3 TD's, not by a lucky last minute defensive stand as GB did.

Couple things, I won money with GB this playoff year and played them heavy to win Super Bowl with 4 teams left. Every year this same talk starts up of a dynasty etc. They didn't play well vs Bears and were it not the the fumble vs pitts they lose amid the biggest collapse in SB history. Yeah, they lost Woodson..and big ben played like crap. Not sure they are better then Pats and Pitts is right there as are the Jets....Falcons should return tough..yeah i think gb is v good..just not a powerhouse. If many think they are ill pound them in the futures..i'm not convinced though
