QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jan 23, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) Steelers did it in 2005 and then beat the #1 seed Seattle in the Super Bowl(thanks to the refs, I know I know). ok, knew they were a #6 seed but wasn't sure if they knocked off the top three seeds in the conference. gonna be a tough game against the steelers because they play well on both sides of the ball and their offense can beat you in many ways. I think they present an even tougher matchup for the packers than the patriots would have. think about this...packers built the foundation of a great defense in one round of the NFL draft...2009 NFL draft - B.J. Raji (9th overall pick) and Clay Matthews (26th overall pick). I realize that they have many other defensive playmakers like Woody, Jenkins, and Williams but Raji has been key over this 5 game win streak and Matthews... well he's been a force to reckon with since Week 6 of the 2009 season. Both second year players and only 24 years old should have a big future presuming they stay healthy.

Has any team ever knocked off the no 1,2, and 3 seeds en route to the super bowl? That's pretty crazy

Shields shields shields! But seriously that shouldn't have been that close. I wonder if rodgers suffered another concussion after that peppers hit cuz he was off the rest of the game. GO PACK GO!!!

Hey collins the game isn't over yet wake up!

Raji!!!

Bears are fortunate to be down only 14. Packers are in a different class right now

Wondering if anyone has replaced a driveway recently and if so approx. how much it cost per sf. I am looking to replace my 1400 sf existing asphalt driveway with either asphalt or concrete. Received 3 quotes for asphalt and came in at ~$5K to remove and replace. Anyone have an idea of how much it would cost for concrete?? If it is going to be in the ~$10K range then I really don't want to make a bunch of calls to get quotes since that would be well outside my budget. Any help is appreciated!

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 19, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) Two of my roommates just took the FE on Saturday. That's just an absurdly long test. yea, 8 hours makes for a long day. I actually thought the PE was a bit easier than the FE. wasn't sure if anyone else on here took it and how they felt about it but I was definitely expecting worse.

Any engineers in here that took the Civil PE Exam last Friday?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Ya, he also slowed down towards the end of the year. Im not saying AP isnt great, Im just saying the secret is out now, so things like no passing game are going to effect his production more now that he has a bulls eye on his back as opposed to being a rookie who had a few good games. teams werent loading the box AS much the beginning of last season because AP was still new, now teams are going to force Jackson to beat them. This isnt hard to follow, its football 101 and comparing it to something like Manning being on the Bears is stupid. i thought teams were going to load up the box this year and AP wouldn't be nearly as productive? I will give you his yards per carry has decreased (although 4.9 i still very, very good) but 1100 rushing yards through 11 games aint too shabby (1st in NFL). I'd say he has been quite productive

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) She didn't have to as governor. how much attention to foreign affairs did Obama have, before deciding to run for president? Or Jimmy Carter? or Ronald Regean? or Bill Clinton? And these guys were going for the top spot, and din't know all that much until they decided to go for it. She shouldn't be expected to be a f***ing genius on world affiars in just a few months. if you have to know it all before you run, then Obama shouldn't have run either, because other than his few 'votes' on Iraq, he didn't know s*** either. please don't tell me you support Palin, even as a republican backer it is fine to admit that it was clearly a mistake to put her on the ticket

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 09:25 AM) From rotoworld: Cliff Lee-S- Indians Sep. 27 - 8:46 am et Cliff Lee (neck) played catch Friday and could pitch in the season finale if he wakes up on Saturday without significant soreness or pain. "If he feels OK, we'll probably pitch him," said manager Eric Wedge. Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer ok, thanks for the info

Did they officially shut down Cliff Lee for tomorrow's game? ESPN.com still shows him as the Indians starter

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) there is no stadium club seating outside the restaurant/bar area. You can have tickets in section 534 and sit in the SC if you wanted. thanks

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 12:07 PM) You can sit at either, I believe. ok and do you know what section the stadium club seating is? 300?

Can someone please explain to me how stadium club passes work at the Cell? I know you still need a ticket to get into the park but when the game stars where do you sit? At the location of the game ticket or in a stadium club box? Thanks in advance for the help

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Yet still, it's been 2 games... let's accelerate the hype train at a reasonable pace here. At some point this season he's going to hit a wall like all QBs do. well after the first three games of the season we will find out a lot about the kid because next week the packers play the NFC favorite Cowboys

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) I'm just saying, Rex Grossman plays amazing against the Lions because they are one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. yea I hear ya but still hard to discredit anything this kid has done since stepping into the big shoes as the Favre heir apparent

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 01:55 PM) Not hating on the guy because I found myself defending him against Favre's fanboys all offseason, but it's the Lions. well, in defense, he had a very good game against the vikings too who are currently shutting out the colts and the god-send himself peyton manning

oh yea I forgot about the 35 rushing yards and 1 rushing TD as well

AROD is off to a ridiculous start to this season thru the first 1.5 games 32 of 39 383 yards 4 TD 0 INT Brett Favre who?

AP for 72 rushing yards, in the first quarter...I figured the colts would be loading the box?

(assuming he doesn't miss time with an injury then all bets are off)

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 01:46 PM) Im not saying its not impressive to shut him down, Im saying its easier to shut him down when you know they cant pass. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule. yea and the bears would be super bowl contenders if they had peyton manning, whats your point? I'm just saying that even if you know the Vikings have no passing game it is still VERY tough to shut down AP. Heck, all of last year everyone knew the Vikes had no passing game and he still ran for over 1300 yards while missing 2 games due to injury and he did it as a ROOKIE.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 04:41 AM) Its easier to shut down AP when they cant pass the ball to save your life and have a lead. Also, Minnys pass defense has actually gotten worse. don't tell that to the bears who gave up 224 rushing yards to AP in a game last year that tavaris threw for only 136 yards while completing 9 of 23 passes (i.e. no passing game).
