Congrats Packers...you were the better team tonight.
You can't turn the ball over that often.
And here is where I will be controversial...
All this talk about Ben being great...
Montana is great...he comes back and wins with 2 minutes.
Ben is very good...but he puts his team in bad spots too often.
I think Ben can be better.

Controversial? More like spot on. Maybe on a Steeler board it is, but the media and fans were proven exactly right, by Ben and the D. This blemish will stick with Ben forever. And the D???? Please. Put up stats and great numbers against average QBs, and then get rocked by the great ones.
Are you kidding me? "This blemish will stick with Ben forever"...really? Like a Super Bowl loss is sticking to Kurt Warner, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady? Good god man, get some perspective...without him we don't even make it this far.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...
Unfortunately, this team lives and dies by Ben's arm. Tonight he played poorly. But, like it was just said, this team doesn't make it the SB without him.

Actually, yeah it is sticking with those guys. Peyton had a chance to really be considered one of the greats last year. He threw a pick 6. Brady is right up there with Montana right now if he wins that Super Bowl, but guess what? He isn't. Is Warner even a QUESTION for the HOF if he is 3-0 right now in the Big Game?
Take it how you want to take it, but Ben just went from a Hall of Famer to a good/really good quarterback.

Take it how you want to take it, but Ben just went from a Hall of Famer to a good/really good quarterback.
Whatever...he's brought us two Super Bowls & to the brink of a 3rd - without him we're a sub-.500 team. But hey, don't let me stop you from enjoying the loss.
