packers fan in peace

[BengalDestroyer]

The Packers are my Grandad's team, so I'm very pleased that they are both in it. Go Steelers!

Hey boys, probably don't remember me but I came here last year before my buddies and I came to Pitt for the Packer game. We enjoyed ourselves, BESIDES THE END OF THE GAME!

But I also wanted to say good luck. I respect your team and tradition and I think your fans are right on par with Packer fans as far as passion. The NFL and media outlets couldn't have ended up with a better matchup for the SB.

Ironic, I was very close with my Grandfather as well and he was a Packers fan. Everytime I seen the Packers logo, it reminds me of him. Good stuff, THEE best two franchise's poss in pro-sports.

Greetings....

Grew up, as my handle implies, "InTheShadowofLambeau" - small town Northeastern Wisconsin, 17 miles from Lambeau and 18 miles from Rocky Bleier's hometown of Appleton, WI. Matter of fact, his parents and mine were acquaintances and my parents frequented his parents' restaurant. I almost played ball at the same High School (Xavier in Appleton), but decided I wasn't exactly a parochial high school student, even though my father was a Deacon.

I tell that story because even though I've never met the guy ... his parents were good people, and, because of that, I was a fan of the Steelers in the 70's -- well that, and because the Pack sucked so bad back then that I needed a team to root for throughout the playoffs. Anyhow, I still have my Steelers scarf and have always considered them my second favorite team.

I too come in peace. Just not too big on talking crap at someone else's house. I will admit to opening up with a mighty keyboard if provoked...so be nice. I don't want to get banned here.

From what I've seen thusfar, I have to say that I'm impressed with the level of football knowledge the posters have here. Understand that we Packers fans are used to dealing with Vikings and Bears fans - so it may take us a little time to gear back up to a "human level". Things usually have to be pretty well dumbed down for Vikie and Bears fans.

My brother used to live in Manitawoc which is right in the middle of Packerland, so I have nothing but the upmost respect for their fans. That being said I hope the Steelers turn the Cheeseheads into Cheese curds come Super Bowl Sunday

We just had to deal with Jets fans this past week and Ravens fans the week before that...you guys will be a breath of fresh air!

Packers are by far my favorite team after the Steelers, always have been. I like all the NFC North teams (except for the Bears this year, cause I hate Cutler and the Vikes cause Favre annoys me anymore, I'd root for the Lions if they were ever any good), mostly because they play the same style of football as the AFC North. The Pack definitely have the best fans and best owners of any of them though!

Here's to a good game in two weeks!

Hello! Welcome aboard! I don't know too much about the Pack because I honestly don't follow them. I did like Bart Starr though. What a classy man!

That said, I DO know about Donald Driver and in many ways, he is as good as our Hines Ward. It should be a very interesting match up and trying to keep him covered and quiet during the game.

And then there is your QB. I have to say I know little about him; only thing I DO KNOW is he ain't nothing like Bret Farve. I can't STAND Bret!!

Good luck; I think this is going to be a great game. Just the thought of possibly winning a seventh ring is an awesome thought beyond belief.

well if you dont wanna get banned i can assure that you wont.

we have always been welcoming to opponents fans at steelersfever, and its great to have respectful, knowledgable, members from a different fanbase.

in 05 and 08 we had a good number of seahawks and cardinals fans join. some joined just to thump their chest and tell us how we were gonna get our asses kicked, but for the most part it was great to have them. a few even remained active members for some time.

we love brett favre.

i always figured a green bay/ steelers superbowl was just a matter of time (wasnt sure it would be this soon).

in 08, the steelers took on steelers west (AZ) when we faced our old offensive coach and multitude of players. its only fitting this time we get to face our old defense.

i always pulled for the panthers when dom capers, greg lloyd, kevin greene, and barry foster left here just like i pull for all the ex steelers to do well in green bay.

just not in 2 weeks.

if the steelers season does end with a loss, atleast its not to the likes of the jets, ravens, patriots, cowboys, and to a respectable franchise instead.

all you packerfans enjoy your visit to SF.

It's weird but I am with everyone else for the most part. I could not stand losing to the likes of the New York Giants (what a bunch of douches in New York), Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, (notice a theme here) but the Packers are not objectionable so if we did lose to them I would not fret for weeks on end. Of course, I think Ben will find a way to win this game because that is what he does.
