You're right that the Steelers should return to their ground attack but Big Ben doesn't mind throwing. As long as he's not getting pounded, and Mendenhall's not 100%, Ben will be lighting up the skies.
I will agree with you that currently the Packers feel they are the best team out there when Rodgers has the ball in his hands, even on 3rd and 1. BUT...it was the more-balanced, 10-6, 2010 team that won a Super Bowl...NOT the MVP-Rodgers throwing every down, 15-1, 2011 team. I think McCarthy will need to get more balanced if he wants another ring.

Big Ben is the best player on the team and the RBs aren't anything to write home about (even if Mendenhall was 100%). They should be just throwing lots of short timing patters though, because that Line is terrible.QuoteI will agree with you that currently the Packers feel they are the best team out there when Rodgers has the ball in his hands, even on 3rd and 1.

Congrats on one correct week . . . It's a long season and you and I both know that won't be the trend. Combine that, Cutler throwing picks to everyone and there mom, Cutler getting sacked every other snap and fake field goals and this was a miracle game.
I'm stiil dishing out the prophecy...Miller TD reception.

Don't give up on Benson and Miller yet. Benson was facing the best run defense in the league and the team was playing from behind most of the time. There will be many games that Rodgers gets them out to a lead and then hands it off to Benson. With Hines Ward gone, Heath Miller is Big Ben's go to guy in a pinch. So if Wallace and Brown are covered, Miller gets the ball.I'd be most concerned with your QB.
