 is perhaps the biggest part of the reason why the Packers are here. The more I think about his last game, though, the more I get concerned about it. He was brilliant at times. He also made some really bad decisions. The Bears were only somewhat capable of exploiting those errors. The Steelers are much more talented than that when their opponent has the ball.
If Rodgers stumbles like that when this game is on the line, it won’t turn out well for him. Big Ben is a complex guy who is hard to like at times, but when games get tough and down to the clutch there isn’t a guy who is better to have. He just finds a way. He’s not going to be intimidated by Green Bay’s good pass rush, and if the game is tight late I’d much rather be with him than against him.
Run defense - The Packers are not going to be able to run on Pittsburgh. That’s a widely held opinion. A lot of people don’t think that it will be a big issue -- the Packers win or lose on their throwing, not their running. I’m not buying that, though -- at least not entirely.
Because Green Bay isn’t great on the ground and Pittsburgh is so good against the run, the Packers will have to rely heavily on the pass. Pittsburgh knows that is likely, and they have two weeks to gameplan for it. It will be much easier for them to find ways to slow down Green Bay’s passing game then it will be for Green Bay to find ways to move the ball on the ground.
Trend - Steelers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 playoff games. I don’t typically pay a lot of attention to trends that extend over a long period like this -- too much can change over time to make them useful. This one is powerful, though.
For a team to be that successful and to regularly exceed expectations like that means that they not only play a lot of playoff games, but they also know how to play them. They are focused, well coached, talented, and they know how to get ready for games when the pressure is at the highest. That tells me that I can be fairly confident that the Steelers are going to be ready for this game.
Green Bay may be as well, but we don’t have as much of a track record to know for sure. I’ll take the very likely over the very possible any day -- especially when the very likely is the underdog.!Giving Opportunities
Amache’s future relies on you! All preservation activities are funded by donations and grants from individuals and foundations.
Projects planned for the Amache site include furnishing the restored barrack and returning the 11-F Rec. building that is located in the Town of Granada back to its original location. We need to provide a $35,000 for a match on this project. In addition, we hope to develop an Interpretive Center/Museum, which is estimated to cost $2.1 million. This is in addition to the general operating and maintenance costs to keep the site safe for visitors.
Every dollar counts. If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation or want to include Amache in your estate planning, please let us know by writing to the address below.

We're a standard mormon litter (8 kids), with 5 kids being out and 3 still very much in it. Mom is in, Dad is out. My mom and believing sibs will often send special emails where they talk about some faith-affirming stories and share their testimonies, or even passive-aggressively share an article about how DNA has proven the BofM to be true after all. Once or twice this has started a debate where I ended up having to apologize to the believers for offending them. The heathens in the family often gripe to one another about how the believers in the family get to share their beliefs with everyone, but if a non-believer pipes up we're accused of trying to tear down the believers.

If you don't mind me asking.......Have you slowed down on your blogging because you are doing Project Life. I did project life last year through November but I haven't finished December. While I loved doing it, I felt like I was doing double work. I was blogging about our everyday life, then turning around an printing the pictures and writing about it in my PL album. I just felt like I couldn't keep up with both this year so I decided to blog because my parents and in-laws would die if I stopped blogging. Just curious if I was the only one that couldn't manage both or if life in general is busy for you and you don't have as much time to blog.
Just wanted to telll you that I sure miss your frequent posts. You are definitely one of my favorite blogs!!
