Roethlisberger's ready to throw...

...to half the Green Bay defensive row...


(no really WTF. I was kinda sad because Ward and Randle El were bringing back all kinds of good memories of 2006 and then Ben couldn't throw anything to save his life. Aaron Rodgers was really really good.)

I dunno, football isn't my main sport, but I mean, if I have a team, it's the damn Stillers, so it kinda sucks that they lost, but whatever, I'm not THAT emotionally invested in it. I wondered if anyone I knew (like Alan) was actually at the game...

Yeah, I'm really impressed with Rodgers; he's been really good every game I've seen.

Ben's a pretty inconsistent QB; he's got great situational awareness, and he's usually very good at making plays under pressure, but his passing is not exactly reliable; really, I think Ward and the others make him look a lot better than he is, because they end up making a lot of spectacular catches in the dirt or wherever. I've never seen him implode like he did on that last drive, though; man, that was awful.

THAT was sweet. It didn't take him long to get out of that Favre shadow.

Yeah, I agree with that. Santonio also had a habit of making Ben look better than he is too. Hines Ward has probably been my favorite Steelers player all along anyway, though recently I'm impressed with Mendenhall (his play style reminds me a lot of the Bus). But I mean... this game at least, every time Rodgers made a throw I was like "...I'm betting that's caught even though I can't see where it's headed" whereas with Ben I was like "Which sideline or Packers player is he throwing it to NOW?"

What's scary is that the Pack's receivers dropped quite a few passes. Rodgers could have had a lot more yards had some of those guys been a bit more sure-handed.

Hosted a party at home this year. Had some family at the game though.

One 4th quarter comeback with 2 minutes left leaving my heart on the verge of an attack at XLIII was enough :)
