Titletown rebuttal
Which Rogers will show up, The Good Atlanta Rogers or the Bad 2nd half Bear Rogers?
I would argue there is no "2nd half Bears Rodgers"... there is however a second half Mike McCarthy. The Bears have a terrific Defense, which was part of that showing, but moreso than that, McCarthy's play calling changed and it unfortunately was not a one time thing. These two teams left are both exceptional teams on both sides of the ball. I would argue that with Starks running the ball the Packers have a better offense than they did in 96/97. The Steelers are a very strong team all around... i just hope it doesn't come down to situational coaching being the determining factor, b/c my Packers will lose. All of our losses this season have been McCarthy making poor in game decisions.
I think the most fun of this whole thing is how each of these defenses deals with the other side of the ball. Lebow is awesome as is Capers... lots of interesting back stories too with both coaching for the other team at different points in their career and w/ big Mike M. being a native iron city brew drinker.
