Good win

Admit I was scared when Driver and Woodson lost and Shields hurting, but we've did what we did all year -- win the game according to whatever the style turned out to be, which is impressive.
That is our 13th championship, adding a bit more distance over the Bears in that total.
Interesting to consider next year, with all those injured players back and the experience under our belts.
Feel especially good for Rodgers and the franchise. Nothing puts the Favre debacle in the rear view quite like accomplishing this with such a young team.

I felt like there was a point towards the end of the 2d Q where the Packers prematurely started to go into cruise control. There was a 3-and-out sequence where Rodgers' passing almost seemed lackadaisical. The Steelers took advantage of this big time. Still, the Packers were the better team and Rodgers solidified his position as one of the elite QBs in the NFL, along with Brady, Manning and Brees. Congratulations on a terrific win.
Common complaint and a valid one. We still lack a killer instinct and rely too much on the D to pull out the win at the end.
And yet, these stunning stats: the Pack never trailed by more than 7 the entire season and were 20 points away from a perfect season, which is weird. They also did something that reversed the entire motif of Rodgers' first season: our D did not give up a single point in the last 4 mins of all 20 games they played this season. Also remarkable.
I think the MST3K crew has a good take on this win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iqLhdInGrk&feature=player_embedded
