As a fan of the loosing Super Bowl team, it is a LONG offseason. In a 6 point game, turning the ball over 3 times (and one of the turnovers an interception return for a TD) is way too much to overcome. Aside from the Steeler mistakes, the game played out as most expected. The Packers dominated the game through the air. Rodgers was brilliant, hitting receivers in stride all game. In fact, if his receivers held on to the ball a few extra times, Rodgers numbers would have been off the charts. The Steelers ran the ball effectively, certainly good enough to win. But Roethlisberger needed to play better. I'll give him a pass on the pick six interception (he was hit on the play and couldn't follow through), but his second pick was just a poor decision to try and thread the ball into traffic. Both defenses were solid and were able to apply pressure on the QB's throughout. My only real disappointment with the Steeler defense was once the Steelers cut the lead to 28-25, they allowed the Packers to drive down the field and kick a FG with just over two minutes to play...they needed to get the ball back sooner. But Rodgers again made all the necessary throws on that drive. The bottom line is that Rodgers outplayed Roethlisberger and that was the difference in the game.

Hats off to the Packers; they were certainly better yesterday and deserve to be Champions.
