SB ticket at face? Good luck with that. ;) :r

Actually my buddy in Dallas and I know two people that work for the NFL. If they can get us tickets they will sell for face. They don't even do fantasy they love their job so they follow NFL rules to a T and would never think of scalping. They have even gotten mr on the sidelines for reg season games. So I'm hoping!!

What a nerve-wracking game to watch!!! Packers looked great for their first 14, but then just fell apart! It's great that they still managed to pull things off, but they've got to whip things into shape in the next two weeks and figure out what went wrong!

Wow, I predicted a Packers win, but I did not foresee Caleb Hanie doing what he did. Wow!
Good effort Bears and congrats Packers.

Can you remember how many Superbowls were great games? Very few.
Now that it's almost certain Pittsburgh will be the Pack's opponent I know right now the game is going to be one sided.
I take it back that today's game would be the Superbowl. The Packs didn't play well at all in the second half. It was only the Bear's incompetence that allowed the Packers to win.
So now we must endure two weeks of hoopla like a bloody election. And then the game will be one sided. No one is going to take Pittsburgh for the win.
Or the Packers will be over confident and choke.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Packers fan. But the whole point of the Superbowl is that you're watching the best of the best and it should be exciting. Is this game going to be exciting? Probably not...but I hope I'm wrong.
I live in Milwaukee and everyone is going to be acting all nuts for two weeks. Cheeseheads everywhere.
And to really clinch the mediocrity...the Black Eyed Peas? Oy Vay. Bring back Paul McCartney. Na na na na na na na......

Do you need a male nurse to go with you and help regulate your oxygen flow?
I look good in a short skirt. Nice legs.

Uhh, you realize that the Steeler did the EXACT same thing in their win over the Jets yesterday don't you? Built a sizable lead only to watch the other team chip away at it the entire 2nd half. Not to take anything away from the Bears because they played a helluva game, but the entire 2nd half you could tell that the Packers were playing not to lose, instead of attempting to go for the jugular. Playcalling got real conservative on both offense and defense. Fortunately, when the defense actually needed to go out and make a couple of stops at the end they were able to amp back up and do so.

My brother and I were watching the game, and noticed that Rodgers didn't look like himself. We both were wondering if that bump on the head didn't give him another concussion. Maybe only minor, but that's what we figured anyway. That would definitely make more sense of their play.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

So, are you saying that the Packers are going to dominate that badly that it won't be a close game? Wow!!! Hate to say it, but this is going to be another nail biter, right up to the end.

I think big Ben is a greater threat than is Vick. No, he isn't as good a passer, he isn't as fast, but he's a big man and is able to bring something out of nothing with his feet - especially when there is a need.

Then there is the defensive side. I think the Steeler defense is going to give us fits. Not sure they have the backfield to handle our receivers, but that's all they'll need to focus on because they can shut down our lackluster running game in a heartbeat.

Yeah, I want a Packer win in the Super Bowl, but I'm not betting on it being an easy thing.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I think the offense will be ready for the Steelers defense. After all, we play pretty much the same defense that they do. You're right though, Roethlisberger is a load to bring down and his ability to keep plays alive is scary.

I like your optimism and pray you are correct about the offense.

I do think that this will be a close game though.
