Boom Boom Pouncey?

Now we are four days away from the Super Bowl! My comparison of the two teams continues today, but also something else that’s kind of related with the game. Enjoy the show my friends!

Offensive Line

The O-line is very important to any football game, but the will be the key to this game. Both teams have a pass rush that can get to the quarterback and both are great run stoppers. The team that is able to control the game at the line of scrimmage will be able to win the game. The Steelers probably had the better offensive line in the regular season, but with the loss of Maurkise Pouncey I think there might be some problems. First would be the snaps. I know that there will have been a week for the new center to practice with Big Ben, but he still won’t have the same flow as Pouncey would. The other aspect is that Pouncey won’t be making the big blocks. The Packers line isn’t very good either. They have had a lot of injuries and have been letting in a lot of unblocked defenders. Even with those faults, I still see them doing better than the Steelers line. The Packers have been on a roll, this helps the o-line win the battle.

Advantage: Packers

Packers(3) Steelers(2)

At the half way point the Packers have a very slight lead, but the rest of the week I have the tough task of picking the better parts of both of the excellent defenses!

In the spirit of the half way point, it’s time to break down the half time show!

This year’s half time show will feature The Black Eyed Peas. I love that the NFL is finally going back to an “MTV” band (Ever since Justin Timberlake got a bit “too into the music”, the NFL has turned to the likes of Bruce Springsteen and The Who).  It is good to forgive and forget (Though I doubt anyone is going to forget those mental images!) and the NFL has finally done that. Let’s get real people, this is the Black Eyed Peas. They are actually quite terrible live and do you really think those guys from the “Never Miss A Super Bowl” club are going to tap their toes to “Boom Boom Pow”? (I doubt it, they are like 80! Plus they are there for the game). So good job on going back NFL, I’m so proud of you! I pray to God though that you can pick a better band next year!

Grade: B+
