SUPER BOWL RECAP


Hello again fans! I must admit,I am feelin pretty good today. I nailed my Super Bowl prediction,and made a nice "profit" on the game. Even better, the Packer's win denied the hated Steelers their seventh Vince Lombardi trophy. As they say in boxing, styles make fights. This was a bad match up for Pittsburgh. Baltimore and the Jets both play the same style of football that the Steelers have mastered....Mainly, run the ball, stop the run and attack the quarterback.

It is very hard to beat the Steelers at their own game. The Steelers struggle against teams that are able to spread them out, and and attack them with four and five receiver sets. This year,New England and New Orleans were able to accomplish this with relative ease. Of course,the key to this strategy is having an accurate QB who gets the ball out quickly (Brady/Brees). Aaron Rodgers was playing lights out going in, and if not for numerous dropped balls, would have thrown for close to 400 yards! As it was, he still had a phenomenal game,and was the MVP. As a Browns fan, I am encouraged that Mike Holmgren understands this, and will implement the West Coast offense. You can't out Steeler the Steelers! Here we Go Brownies! Here we Go!
