Thank you all for following my blog, your comments are very rewarding and motivating.
Now on to the SB! During my playing career I never had the opportunity to play in the Super Bowl, but had several teammates that did. The obvious response from all of them was, without question, the single greatest memory they had in playing football, that comes from players who both won and lost.
Momentum is, in my opinion, the most critical thing you can have going for you entering the SB. Of course being healthy is a huge factor, but look at the Packers this year, they had 13 players on injured reserve, some of them starters. What they had going into this game was confidence and momentum. The best example was Arron Rogers. He was playing at a level, I don’t believe, that has previously been matched. The Packers offense had incredible momentum coming off all their playoff games including the NFC Championship. The offensive game plan was designed around Arron, they road the horse that got them there, plain and simple, end of story!
I keep thinking of all the passes he had dropped, no telling how many more yards he could have had or how many more touchdown passes he would have thrown. It was a remarkable performance on the greatest stage, in front of the most viewers in the history of television! That’s impressive.
We always hear, defense win championships, in this case they played a significant role, but from what I saw, it was all on the shoulders of Arron Rogers, he excepted it and performed like it was a Saturday practice.
Congratulations to all of you Cheese Heads, it was one of the best Super Bowls I have ever seen, and I have seen them all. Unfortunately for many of us, I don’t think this will be the Packers last under Arron Rogers!
Something to remember in the future during the playoffs. Whoever scores the second touchdown in the game wins 90% of the time. It is amazing, but held true in all the playoff games I watched. And yes, the Packers scored the second touchdown in the SB.
In my next blog I will talk about he CBA (Collective Barganing Agreement) and how it may affect the NFL. I will also talk about the upcoming Spring Turkey Season and what you should be doing to prepare.
Thanks again!
