This probably won't be a factor on Sunday, but just a general observation.

It seems like the Steelers are very loose this week. Ever since they got off the plane they've carried themselves in a much more brash, outgoing way than I would've expected. They're usually very business like.

The Packers have been focused and careful.

Does that mean the Steelers have possibly let the experience go to their head? They're overconfident and are going to take the Packers lightly? I doubt it. Tomlin won't let that happen. They'll be prepared.

But it could mean the opposite. The Steelers will come in with the right level of comfort and looseness and the Packers will be too tight and nervous.

Just something to ponder.

um, so why does espn have a very indoors-looking set that is apparently outdoors? can someone tell them that they don't have to stand outside in frigid temperatures just to bs about the game...or even worse, some nonsense like roethlisberger singing piano man

ben loses ths super bowl on tuesday nite....as per footage on TMZ. Ben took out his OL for dinner on Tuesday which is no big deal. That is routinely done in the NFL.

but then he proceeded to some piano bar and was drinking all evening and singing, poorly i may add.

Bar owners in pittsburgh a few weeks ago were interviewed and stated how BR has not been seen around since last spring and that he most likely has grown up.

Looks like the Super BOwl week is just too much pressure and he had to start on his Captain Morgan again.

I can see clearly what happens now. Steelers lose the SB, Ben R gets the blame and scrutiy because of his night drinking, and he falls back to his old ways. This leads to a longer suspension and a collapse of the Steelers organization.

Oh how quickly the mighty fall.

I still am loving the way Pittsburgh has been completely under the radar even through Super Bowl week. It seems like the majority of the stories are about Green Bay and how great they are. That's just fine with me.

As a Packer fan I feel the exact opposite. Every time I turn on NFL Net or ESPN they're talking about how Pittsburgh is the more experienced team and singing their praises, and then oh yeah, the Packers are playing too. I feel like the Packers have been forgotten about lately.

I hate ESPN. ESPN is basically becoming TMZ with a slight sports twist. Who cares if Roethlisberger went to a bar! And thanks ESPN for reporting that Aaron Rodgers was watching film of the Steelers defense. I thought he was gonna go into the Super Bowl without preparing. ESPN sucks. #EndRant

Really. I just think there's twice as many stories/pieces on the Packers as there is on the Steelers.

If Aaron Rodgers plays as great as everyone says he's going to play, I'll certainly tip my cap.

But I think the Steelers defense is getting disrespected. And they're going to play a lot better than people think.

The majority of the ESPN experts are picking the Packers:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2010/news/story?page=superbowlpicks11

This just falls in to place with what I've been saying about the Steelers being under the radar. Everyone is on the Packer bangwagon. No one has given the Steelers a chance at all this season and hopefully they prove everyone wrong yet again!

No one has given them a chance? that's a lie, SI picked them to be in the super bowl at the beginning of the year...don't try and play the "no respect" card

forgot this

A lie????? Before inserting your foot in to your mouth (like you always do).........only Peter King of SI picked them to win the Super Bowl, other than that, most experts didn't even have them in the top two of the AFC North.
