commentary...

in a press conference,at the NFL scouting combine,Mike McCarthy(Packers' coach),said that the Detroit Lions are a team that the league needs to be aware of... The Lions won their last four games last season,and did keep the Packers,to their lowest game point total,of the season,giving Aaron Rodgers his second concussion,of season,in a 7-3 loss,in Detroit,knocking Rodgers out of game,and the game,against the New England Patroits,the next week... i deeply respect the Lions' defense,and if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy,they will fight Chicago,and Minnesota for the playoffs,next season... Stafford had two shoulder separations,and shoulder surgery,last seasons,so we will see if he can stay healthy...

analysis of Super Bowl XLV... HOW SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

in the thirty five times that a team that had three,or more,turnovers,in Super Bowl history,only four times has that team won,and no team,in Super Bowl history,has come back from a ten point plus deficit,at halftime,and eleven teams have had a interception return,in Super Bowl history,and every team that has had one has won the game(11-0),including the Packers,last night,and the Packers was the first team to lead entire game,since Super Bowl XXXV,when the Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Giants... both sides of the ball did in the Steelers,two interceptions,and a forced fumble,by Clay Matthews... more later on the play that broke momentum for the Steelers,but i have to talk about Aaron Rodgers(Super Bowl XLV MVP)... drafted out of the University of California,he was not highly thought of,being passed on,by 22 teams,in first round,when he came to the NFL... i believe the every team that passed on him is crying right now,but the Packers took a chance on him,and they are very happy right now... he handled the Brett Favre fiasco,with ultimate class... that told me volumes about him... when Packers was 6-10,and Packers were 1-8,in games decided in last four minutes,in 2008,i was angry,but honestly i knew that it would take maturation on Rodgers' part,because Favre was not Brett Favre,at the beginning,of his career... he was a lowly Atlanta Falcons' draft pick,in 1991,out of Southern Mississippi,where he was in a career-threatening,and life threatening,auto accident that took part of his colon,in the surgery,and where he beat the mighty University of Alabama football team,when not even 100%,and a senior... back to the game,Rodgers had 24 completions,in 39 pass attempts,for 304 yards,with three touchdowns,but had at least five passes dropped by receivers,and the Packers had no turnovers,in entire game... let us go back to first play of fourth quarter:Steelers,down,21-17,in Packers' territory,and all of the momentum,and Clay Matthews tackled Rashard Mendenhall,he hit his elbow,and ball popped loose,and was recovered,by the Packers,that was the moment that i thought honestly the Packers had a legitimate chance to finish game off,and win... the fact that Rodgers had a better game than Roethlisberger,and he turned the three turnovers,into 21 points,and that was the difference in the game,and the fact that the Packers lost Charles Woodson,and Donald Driver,before halftime,and stood up like champions,on defense,when it mattered most,and that impressed me greatly... Rodgers impressed me the most,going back and back to his receivers,who dropped passes,showing ultimate trust,in his receivers,and should have had more yardage than his throwing for 304 yards,and yet,if he had more yardage,and passes caught,it would have been a rout,because he was very,very sharp in the pocket throughout the game... Pittsburgh just had a very hard time containing him,and only sacked him two times,both in second half,and yet they were not pressuring him,most of the game... Pittsburgh made it a very good game,when Packers stopped themselves,in last two minutes of first half,and in third quarter,but they scored only three points,in the first 28 minutes of the game,when Packers scored on consecutive plays(the quickest two touchdowns,in Super Bowl history-18 seconds),to go up,14-0,and then 21-3,with just over two minutes to play... going down by eighteen points,was the biggest deficit,to try to come back from in the game,and that hole was deep,and if Woodson and Driver do not go down,at halftime with injury,it would have been a bigger margin of victory,because the Steelers were floundering in their own mud of a game plan,but i have to give Steelers ultimate respect to show their mettle,and true character,in giving their all,in the game,and coming back to make it a very very good game,indeed... Roethlisberger did not have a very good game,especially in first half,but he showed the character of a true champion,by guiding the Steelers,into the game,in second half,and giving the Steelers a chance to win game,but Packers' defense showed true character in second half,like most of the season,when at least,15 players went on injured reserve(six opening day starters),after week six,and my game balls goes to the Packers' defense,and Aaron Rodgers,who turned all three turnovers,into touchdowns,instead of field goals,which was the huge difference,in game.... SUPER BOWL XLV CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!

NFL and Packers' news...

SUPER BOWL XLV CHAMPIONS GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!

commentary...

the turning point of the Packers' season was December 19.2010... even though the Packers lost to the Patriots,31-27,that was not the important part of equation,two different games were more important... in fact,the 28 point explosion,by the Philadelphia Eagles,in last 8:17,in game,against the New York Giants,giving the Eagles,a 38-31 win,over the Giants,and the Detroit Lions',23-20 win,over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,gave Packers the crucial strength of schedule tiebreaker,even though,they had same conference record,as the Giants,and Buccaneers... had the Packers beaten the Patriots,but had lost one of their last two games,on their schedule,they would be sitting home,instead of getting ready for Super Bowl XLV,because they would have had a worse conference record,than the Giants,or Buccaneers... so all they had to do was win their last two games,against the Giants,and Bears,which they did,so for them,the playoffs started that weekend,against the Giants... BRING ON PITTSBURGH!!!!!!!!!!

side note...

i simply can not wait for the Super Bowl,Sunday... People,in Dallas' business community are loudly complaining,about the real lack of people there,for the game,and with American Airlines canceling over 300 flights,today,going into Dallas/Fort Worth(DFW),and their main hub of business,i honestly do not feel sorry for the business community,or American Airlines... it is so funny to see NFL Network anchors in parkas,and ear muffs... what a real mess!!!!!!!!

football movie trivia...

Packers' Hall of Famer Johnny "Blood" McNally,was the real life inspiration for the 2008 movie,"Leatherheads",starring George Clooney... McNally was one of the original class members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame,in 1963(one of 17 members)...

commentary...

Packers are 2 1/2 point betting favorites... what hooey!!!!!!!! my opinion is that it will be a very good game,and most likely,will go down the end of fourth quarter... both teams are very good defensively,and Green Bay has edge on offense,but Roethlisberger is very tough quarterback,but Pittsburgh's receiving corps is very young,but very good... whoever makes the most mistakes loses game... Bring on Super Bowl....

comment...

i am getting tired of the pro-Pittsburgh bias,on NFL Network programming... last night,and this morning,most of what they showed was Steelers' games,and only a half hour of Packers' highlights(from Super Bowl XXXI)... i just hope that Green Bay wins,to shut up,"the Mighty Steelers" talk,of the pundits,and i do want a very good Super Bowl... They even hyped the AP Defensive Player of the year,saying that Clay Matthews was going to win it... OOPS,Troy Polamalu won it,for the Steelers,and he missed some games this year,so did Clay Matthews,but he has had 16 1/2 sacks(13 1/2 sacks,regular season)... what hooey!!!!!!!!!!!!
