Superbowl XLV

I know it has been a while but I have an all superbowl post that I hope makes up for it.


First bit of news was that temporary seating they put in was REALLY temporary. Those who were gonna sit all the way up there got triple there money back or got free tickets to the next superbowl. Then pre kick festivities took place with a horrid performance by Christina Aguilera doing the national anthem. The guys they get for the nat. anthem during the MLB world series and NHL regular season were better.


At the cointoss we bust the myth that tails never fails. Pitt goes tails and it comes up heads giving first option to GB who opts to kick in the first half.


1st Quarter


We start with the usual; kicker kicks ball, someone catches ball, get tackled short of 10 yards. About 3 plays after that Pitt fumbles the ball for green bay to cash in for 7 points. On the ensuing kick off Pitt gets a illegal block penalty forcing them to start the drive 7 yards away from a safety, do we see a safety? No... We see another interception qckly become a pick 6 (by the way we are only 24 seconds into the first quarter). The rest of the 1st is basic punt war stuff.


2nd Quarter


Some time afterward we have our first injury in the form of Donald Driver who injured a quad muscle in an earlier game rolling his left ankle, he did not return. Later on Big Ben throws another interception which gets GB a third TD (that's 3 straight INTs so far). Later on GB gets another injury, Sam shields injures his shoulder. Then Woodson injures cis collar bone (YEOW!) and he is done! This drive by PITT actualy gets them a TD for once. Also somewhere in that half PITT got a FG.
10 - 21 green bay leads at the half


Oh and black eyed peas did something... wasn't really paying attention.


3rd Quarter


Not much to see, only a PITT TD and a punting war.


4th Quarter


As soon as we start the final stretch PITT fumbles the ball and GB recovers, and Ben isn't to blame for this one. What does GB do with this turnover? (you guessed it!) ANOTHER TOUTCHDOWN!!!
It's now PITT 17 - 28 GB and on the later drive by PITT gets themselves a much needed TD AND a 2pt conversion. It's now 25 - 28 Green Bay late in the 4th. GB QB Aaron Rodgers with one of his laser guided passes for 40+ yards, they don't get the TD so they opt for the FG.
it's now a 6 point game and PITT needs a TD and clean point after kick to win, they don't pull it off, an incomplete pass on 4th down seals each teams fate. Now superbowl mvp Aaron Rodgers Ends the 14 year drought in packer country.




Lesson learned: It don't matter where you put Aaron Rogers, he will throw "friggen lazers" to his receivers.


see ya next season... if there is one.
