Quick Shots: Turnovers Send Pittsburgh Packing
Here's some takeaways (pun intended) from yesterday:
- This game followed the same, exact pattern of the NFC Championship game two weeks ago. Steelers fans have every reason to be crazy mad this morning.
- Neither of these teams could beat the '85 Bears or any on Bill Belichick's Super Bowl winners. This was an average game played by two average teams who played an entertaining game.
- How Pittsburgh couldn't win this game with three quarters of the Green bay secondary out is beyond my comprehension. Champions find ways to win. That's why the Packers are the champions.
- Pittsburgh getting down 14-0 early killed any kind of clock control offense they could have thrown at the Packers. This was a key because that's how they intended to win.
- During that last drive, Pittsburgh not only lacked urgency, they looked confused. How Bears.
- You play four pre-season games, sixteen regular season games and three
post season games to give up 21 points off of turnovers. Don't give me
that crap that the Steelers put up a good fight. Especially when you
get within three and then give up a big third down play across the
middle. The Steelers did not put up a good fight. They
laid a dinosaur sized egg. And sadly, they, like the Bears, still had a chance to tie or win it on their last drive. And they failed. How Bears.
- The biggest question you have to ask yourself as a Bears fan is if the Bears had knocked off the Packers two weeks ago, could they have beaten the Steelers. Based on what I saw of Pittsburgh yesterday, the answer is a resounding yes.
- As good as he's been in the past, Ben Rolthlesberger picked a bad place to channel his inner Cutler.
- Charles Woodson couldn't come back from a broken collarbone? In the Super Bowl? Pussy. See how much sense that makes? Think about that the next time you take a shot at Jay Cutler.
- If I had to be happy for anyone yesterday, it was Packers receiver Donald Driver. The guy is a class act and deserves a ring.
- After years and years of man love for Brett Favre, Bears fans thought that we moved past it when he finally left after 2008. The Aaron Rodgers man love might be worse because he probably is smart enough not to abuse pain killers or message pictures of his penis. He's also a lot more cuddly that Favre. We all know if the media likes you, they will service you orally every chance they get. Pay attention, Jay Cutler.
- I don't know about you, but at times I felt at times like Lovie Smith was coaching the Steelers.
- My favorite commercial was not a commercial, but a promo for "House" on Fox, where they did a parody of the famous Mean Joe Green Coke commercial. Hilarious.
- Being a Bear fan who lives in Wisconsin is like being Richard Simmonds at a biker bar.
