Packers will win by spreading the Steelers out, just look what the Patriots did when they went 4-5 wide and had Woodley & Harrison dropping into coverage, the Steelers corners are nothing special so get them spread out and they're there for the taking - Packers by 14.

Yeah i thought the Bus would of got in.

Was he really all that special though? I know he had the dream ending to his career and got it done on the goal line for the Steelers but his career YPC is a very modest 3.9 I think. Hardly world beating stuff. He was a good player but was he really one of the best of all time? Not convinced.

As a Rams fan it was great to see Marshall Faulk get in first time round. Brilliant player for us.

Maybe i am a bit biased. I lived in Pittsburgh for a couple of years and thats how i got into NFL.I caught bettis at the end of his career met him once and he was a true gent.Infact he is a cult hero in Pittsburgh.I still have my number 36 signed shirt which i treasure.Agree with Marshall Faulk a cracking player.

Just seen this. I'm suprised Michael Vick didn't get any votes to be honest.

It's a complete joke he didn't TBH. Having said that it's a bit of a joke that Vick won comeback player of the year. Brady is a deserved winner but 50 out of 50 is a bit over the top. I'd quite like to see a non-QB MVP award brought into play.

They probably will eventually but much like the offensive player of the year(Brady this year) won the MVP, I reckon the defensive player of the year would probably win a defensive MVP most of the time TBH.

Well done to Richard Dent in getting to the HOF,a major part of the NFL's best ever defence(Bears 85).The acceptance speeches should be worth watching with Sanders and Sharpe getting in.

Very excited/nervous now.

Planned on wearing my favourite Packers jersey as I always do but it felt wrong to be wearing a Favre jersey tonight. Switched it up for a AJ Hawk home shirt.

Whether the night ends in victory or defeat its been a great season.
