As much as I would like to see GB in the Superbowl, Atlanta is the better team. They have better defense and better running game than GB and as good of a passing game. There could be 70+ pts scored in that one. I'll be rooting for GB but they should be the underdog.
The Steelers did a job on Kelce and Hill, but I wouldn't call a win with 6 field goals and no touchdowns a good game, I'd be a little embarrassed if I was a Steelers fan. YMWV

Finally two competitive and entertaining playoff games.
Dallas deserves credit for coming back from an 18 point deficit to tie the game but their clock management was bad leaving too much time for Rodgers.
Pittsburgh/KC was down to the wire as well.
Nothing against Dallas, they had a hell of a year, I thought they'd be in the SB this year. I honestly hope they don't react the way Carolina (Cam Newton?) did after their unexpected loss last year, from first to worst (sorta). As long as the Cowboys leave Romo on the bench where he belongs, they have the stuff to go all the way next year.Speaking about time, Rogers got great pass protection and so much time to find somebody. That was not the case for Dak, but he held up well anyway. Cowboys still suffer from the same old deficiency, lack of pass rush, and until they fix that, there will be more let downs in our future.

That would be progress, he's been a loser all along. Again, I have nothing against the Cowboys otherwise.Not a chance that Romo is even a Cowboy next year.
...he's been a loser all along...

Wow that's harsh! I always felt that Romo was a pretty gutsy competitor. I wish him the best and hope he lands on his feet - and hopefully for him somewhere with a better O-line.
Romo's career QB rating is 97.1. Brady's is 97.2.
Romo has a 5.7% TD percentage. Brady 5.5%
Romos INT % is 2.7%. Brady 1.8%
Romo's Yds/Att is 7.9 yds. Brady 7.5 yds
Romo completion % is 65.3%. Brady 63.8%
You cant blame everything on the QB.
PS...I hate the Cowboys
OK, I was a little harsh, and it is a team sport - but the QB numbers don't tell the whole story. Brady has 4 Super Bowls to Romo's zero. The Pats are famous for making something of no name players, so it's not like Brady is surrounded by superstars every year. And the Pats have had a lot of their 'stars' out on IR every season. Brady and the Pats find a way to win with the team they have. Romo, among the highest paid QBs, and the Cowboys find a way to lose with the team Dallas has, more big names than the Pats usually.Romo's career QB rating is 97.1. Brady's is 97.2.

I'm a life long Cowboys fan; born & raised (in the early years) in the great state of Texas.
IMO, most of the Romo Hate comes from the fact that he didn't do well in the post-season and never won a Super Bowl. Standards in Dallas are pretty high (as they should be ). The same things said about Romo used to be said about Craig Morton and Danny White, both of whom were good QBs. If you look at Romo's record (as posted above) it's clear he's a very talented QB. He's ranked #4 all time. But, he's one of only two QBs in the all time Top 10 who haven't won a SB. The other is Philip Rivers, who doesn't seem to have as many detractors. But, oh yeah, he's from San Diego, where expectations are a bit lower.
PS:As I made clear in an earlier post, I am a Romo fan, FWTW.

Romo is better than Cutler, another way overrated QB IMO. I know, too harsh...
The good news is we have four great teams remaining this year. Roethlisberger, Brady, Rodgers & Ryan - wowza. Smith, Wilson and Prescott were great too.

Dan Marino didn't make that all time Top 10 list? I would have a hard time believing history favors Rivers more than Marino. Morton and White have the unified problem of having Roger Staubach's name intertwined with them. Though if memory serves D. White caught it more than Morton did, as he was shipped off to the G-Men and then ultimately Denver.
