Who's a less reliable kicker, Folk or Graham?

As Lombardi used to say the week before playing Halas and the Bears:
Its Bear Week!!!
This is going to be a good one.
In light of last night's game, such a comment is just silly. On the road against the top seed in the NFC, Rodgers:
* completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards.
* completed all 10 of his attempts on third down
* His 81.6 completion percentage ranks fifth-best in postseason history (Behind Brady, Simms, Warner and Montana).
* He has a 134.3 passer rating in the 2010 postseason, having thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions.
I think Rodgers is probably a top 3 QB now, top 4 if you want to put Roethlisberger in front of him (I wouldn't). I could easily see Green Bay winning it all with the field that's left.

I hate the Steelers. As a Redskins fan, they're not enemy #1 (Cowboys), but they are definitely a solid #2. It hasn't always been that way but even here in Virginia Beach, Steelers fans are EVERYWHERE. I think it's a combination of bandwagon fans and an abundance of military folks from Pennsylvania who are stationed here. And I'm sure I don't have to tell Bengals fans this but Steelers fans are insufferable.
My boss, who is from a Redskins family and has never lived anywhere but Virginia, came in wearing his Steelers sweatshirt today. That's bad enough but if they win another Super Bowl, I might have to call in sick for a week.
Oh, and it sure didn't take long for Steelers fans to change their tune about Roethlisberger, did it? Bah.
