Congratulations Packers, you earned this plain and simple. Green Bay came into this game with superior professionalism and execution and buried the Steelers in a hole they couldn't dig out of. No excuses, no what ifs, no complaints about the refs. Congratulations.
The aspect of play that stood out to me was pointed out by Jimmy Johnson at halftime: Green Bay's excellent open field tackling. They did a helluva job at preventing YAC and breakaway runs at the right time. A lesser team would have allowed those crucial yards and potentially let Pittsburgh back into the game.
Somewhat ironically, a big negative factor in this game was the turf. Both teams had slips and injuries on plays that looked ordinary--I'm very surprised the footing was so bad.
Anyways, great game. Two great teams duking it out--Green Bay wanted it more and got it. Great game.
[edit] I'll get to the negative bit when I'm sober--lots of booze consumed tonight.
