The game could have gone either way, very easily gone either way. Did any of you watch the game? People act like Green Bay dominated the entire game when that didn't happen at all

Finally someone who gets it..

The Over was the only wager that would have cashed 8 out of 10 times these two teams play...

For real, if Green Bay won by 14+ then I can understand all the gloating. All these guys that are bragging are just dumb. The game honestly could have gone either way. I just don't understand people sometimes. Enjoy your win but don't act like this was a lock. FYI I was on pitt +3 but I took the team totals over and pitt 2h so I just juiced out today which I don't mind because I went 8-0 in basketball this morning.

Probably looked a bit like an illusion because Pitt was down 18 points and their comeback made them seem very strong, but in reality I think if they played that game 100 times GB would have won more than 60 of them. Don't forget GB dropped a lot of wide open passes they would normally catch, some of which would have been huge gainers.

[juuso]

Line was spot on. There was no correct side.

[bill2266]

steelers gave packers 21 points on turn overs and still almost lost

[bobbyk1133]

A lot of PIT backers crying. Put up your hand if this surprises anyone.

[Bigmikesm]

I had Pitt. So yeah, the wrong side cashed!!!

[wrongturn]

Before game, there is no wrong side, but wrong price. After game, there is no wrong price but wrong side. How about that answer?

[borednaz]

It was a decent game in spite of all the errors Big Rape made in judgement. It's always nice to have an new team win a super bowl.

[Frostware]

Good game either way

[eberetta1]

I was on the wrong side, but my whole football season was like that this year. Thank gosh I have poker to fall back on.

[xyzky]

Good game, Pitt might have won if they didn't turn it over 3 times...

To the victor go the spoils. Third turnover decided game. The 'story' is written after the game, just as the victor in war writes the history books. Fact remains that GB had no running game; they were 12-2 SU and ATS when they rushed for at least 80 yards, and just 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS when they missed that target. Last night GB was held to just 50 yards rushing, which 'normally' would have produced a Steelers victory. But that went out of the window with the third turnover (GB gets credit for forcing turnovers, of course).

I noticed that Big Ben on several occasions pump faked the ball, only to throw it in the very same direction he had just faked to. The first interception was an example of this. That's the same as giving a defender a head start instead of sending him in the wrong direction. Not too smart.

If you took Pitt, the answer is yes. If you took GB, the answer is no. I took gb, thus the answer is no.

Agreed.


Let's make a new thread for discussions like these entitled "sore losers venting"

[beaunose2002]

its funny as expected all the GB "experts" talking like everyone else was a dumb "ass"
take away one turnover and the winner is in Pittsburgh . Obviously the best team won (no officiating controversies) but dont act like it was a one sided deal.

[agharah1]

It took a Charles Woodson injury and Mike McCarthy's inexplicable decision to kick the FG and give the ball back to Pittsburgh up less than a TD with 2 mins to go, but my Pittsburgh+9/Over 40 teaser was the "right" call.

[Statman]

Was a little worried when Pitt began the comeback in the 3rd and felt GB took their foot "off the peddle" but it seemed going into this game that not much talk was being said about the GB defense. I think one of the biggest plays was the Clay Matthews rush against the Pitt RB causing the fumble. Huge momentum shift in the second half based on that. Much talk was on how good the Pitt D was going to be and Troy Polamau. Didn't he get beat on one of the GB touchdowns with Jennings? Thought there was huge separation there. These are just observations and nothing more after the game...
