We match up fairly closely in most respects, especially if you look at the latter part of the season when we started to establish the run. Brady certainly has more experience and is likely the league MVP, but Rodgers adds the scramble threat. I doubt your Steelers will "eat us up". It won't be that easy.  Yes, but we ended up in the top 10 in the NFL in scoring and total yards-- ahead of the Steelers in both categories. Plus, if you look at the last 6-7 games, the Packers have vastly improved on these numbers-- perhaps as a result of our three Offensive rookies (RB, TE, RT) finally settling in.  Touche, so is ours. IIRC, we had Bell and Bush, two 3rd stringers, in our secondary in 2009. Now, we have three Pro-Bowlers and a rookie sensation in Sam Shields.  Based up regular season and post season team statistics, this is generally not supported. If anything, I give an edge to the Packers. However, as we all know, statistics mean squat. e.g. 6 of the top 8 rushing teams didn't even make the playoffs... I will agree that the Steelers have a significant edge in SB experience and related confidence. And considering the excessive media hype and bright lights, this could be a huge factor. If the Packers can focus come game day, which I believe they will, this should be a close game.</blockquote>
