Just curious..
I am a Steeler fan visiting your board, so I will tell you what worries me!
Aaron Rodgers first and foremost. Our secondary is suspect at time. We live and die by the blitz at times, and the DB's like to play off the ball. If Rodgers can find the open man fast and get the ball out of his hand, or escape the blitz as he does so well, there is potential for him to carve up our secondary pretty bad. Brady did this by throwing a lot of quick slants, and they got into a rhythm and marched right up the field time and time again.
Last time these two teams met Rodgers had a big day, but we were also without Troy Polamalu. Troy has been playing hurt also, and hasn't been his crazy self of late. Even with him and Smith back for the Superbowl, I worry most about defending the pass! I really hope that we can get our running game going so that we can keep Rodgers, and the Packers offense off the field. That is probably going to be the game plan for the Steelers.
Next would have to be the pressure on Ben. We know it's coming! Ben always finds ways to escape, but thats when plays break down and it's easy to make mistakes. I don't think there is going to be a lot of room for error in this game, unlike the Jet's game where we had gotten out to such a big lead early. One errand throw could cost us the trophy.
I just know it's going to be an outstanding game!! We'll probably all have gray hair by the time it's over! If we don't come back to Pittsburgh with number seven, there is no one I would rather see from the NFC hoist the Lombardi than Green Bay. The fans of both teams are very deserving.
Go Steelers!
