Does not mean a whole lot I do not think becuase I venture to say a pretty good percentage of fans a the game will not be from the respective states....


..but it would not surprise me if the packers fans outnumber steeler fans....it is their first trip in a long, long, long time. I had friends go to SB 40 in Det.....they still say they used all their good will from their wives for many, many years and will not even attempt to go. Face it..........when you go for the 3rd time in 5 years the excitement, and what the fans will shell out, is a bit lower than normal. It is just natural. People took out loans to go to the SB games....

Reports are Pouncey will miss the Super Bowl. A lot of people thought Freeney was out last year and he played. Hope this is a similar case.

Doesn't sound too good.

I think it's going to be up to Bronco Legursky

they really don't have a backup to him, Essex I guess would be the emergency center I heard

They also said Pouncey has a hard cast on that ankle......not good.

If Pouncey can't go it will defintiely hurt but Green Bay is 18th against the run and I don't think they've faced anyone to this point that play as physical as the Steelers do. I think Pittsburgh can run it down their throats.

There was a lot of debate on the radio today about fearing the Packer passing game and rightfully so. Some people think that stopping their running game and making Green Bay one dimensional won't be enough. I disagree with that sentiment, I hope the Packers are throwing it on every down out of neccesity, I like Pittsburgh's chances with Harrison and Woodley coming hard off the edges.

The Steelers rushed for 147 yards and 166 yards in the two games against the Jets, which had the No. 3 run defense in the NFL.

In their last nine games, they rushed for over 100 yards as a team in all seven games except the two Baltimore games.

I think that does bode well. Neither the Steelers nor Ravens run the ball well against each other. Two great defenses and a lot of familiarity.

I liked how they were batting down passes against the Jets. I think they had five. That's a good way to defend some of the quick, short passes.

Yawn.............

..............I don't have the time to worry about the bet you LOST. My attention is focused on a certain team playing in the Super Bowl that you said wouldn't finish in the top two of the division. LMFAO......talk about a "nice try"!

Aaron Smith continued to practice on a limited basis. He better pick it up soon and get into some real practice time or he'll be out. There's no way he'll play unless he has a full week of legitimate practice, at least.

Good point, guys like Keisel were doing a great job at batting down passes.

Scott Van Pelt said on the radio yesterday that Lamarr Woodley is the only five-star recruit to be playing in this Super Bowl.

I wasn't sure where he got his information and if it was accurate or not.

But thought it was an interesting piece of info.

Not having Pouncy would be huge for GB .. He is a pro bowler in his first year and he makes all the line calls .. They say he is going to be the next great Stiller center ... He will play .. Just shoot the ankle up come game time .. This is the super bowl !!!!! Ill lay 10-1 he plays
