Posted By: <b>Bobby I.</b><p>Easy one Steelers in a romp. Despite having played the toughest schedule in the league the D was overwhelmingly the best in the league. Forget the possibility of the Cards running the ball, not gonna happen, E. James is soft. Pitt is gonna bring everyone on every play. K. Warner most career fumbles is gonna add to that total today and after they get behind will throw several desperation int's. Prediction Pitt 38-14, book it.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Bobbi.....you are going to be in for a miserable day. Flacco actually had time to pass but he was to nervous to get anything done. Warner has been to the dance and Fitzgerald is a monster. Also James could be very suprising because he loves the spotlight so he could show up today. Carolina blitzed alot and so did Philadelphia and both are on the couch.

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>Arizona 31 Pittsburgh 27, in a game that will not be as close as the score. Cards D gets a pick 6, probably from Rodgers-Cromartie, Warner throws for 280 (more than 300 with pass interference yards), and the Redbirds, not used to the big stage, survive a poor third quarter like they did with the Eagles.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Pittsburgh will have to try and eat up the clock. The Cardinals secondary will make sure that Holmes is elimated so now what? Parker is banged up and so is Ward so cancel the blowout prediction. The Ravens D actually looked slow and tired and really the Steelers could not move the ball at all. The Cardinals look like they gained a step and their D-backs are all over the place. Also Boldin could either wilt which is unlikely or play his ass off because no matter what the guy is a stud and catch the rock. Good luck to all and may the best team win.<br><br>Their is a rumor that the Cards are having BRING THE NOISE t-shirts made as Super Bowl Champs.

They also looked like a heartless group more than once this year.<br>The New England game revealed a lot about what they are missing in the<br>character department and they didn't look much better in Philly. <br><br> Pitt played the toughest schedule in the NFL, allowed fewer YardsPerPlay <br>than any team in decades.The Steelers allowed a league best 157 pass<br>yards per game. They also were second vs the run, allowing 80 ypg. It's been<br>17 years since a team allowed this few YPG.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>What a great game! I must say that is probably the worst play called i have ever witnessed. You have Larry fitzgerald with 18 seconds left on the clock and instead of throwing a jump ball the coach calls for a bullet in the middle of the field. That play will no doubt change the game and the Cards are in big trouble. How does the head coach not overide that play call, it is just horrible to even try it period when you have the momentum. The offensive play caller is now changing his pants and chair because the room smells horrible.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Rhys you are correct. Do you realize in the safety call that their was a ref standing right next to big Ben and did not throw the flag? I saw about 5 to 7 holds on the Steelers during crucial plays and nothing was thrown. To be honest the refs were horrible all season, probably the worst officiating for a entire season. Congrats to the Steelers for not folding and they need to send a present to the Defensive Coordinator of the Cards because he should have had two men on the line of scrimmage and just smashed Holmes immediatly once the score was 23-20.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>The Cardinals actually had two correct challenges on horrible calls. Can you imagine if their was not instant replay. Where are they finding these refs at? They could not ref a high school game much less the high speed NFL game. I saw Steeler guards literally dragging down Cardinals and also several hands to the face and none were called. They also almost blew the safety call which was so obvious and blatant because it happened right up the middle.

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>I won't say the Cards should have won it, but other events should have transpired at the end.<br><br>Holmes wasn't inbounds with both feet DOWN. the replays clearly show that the feet were not even. I don't understand how I am seeing something different from everyone else, but if you look, the right foot is clearly higher (off the ground), and only the left toes tap the turf inbounds.<br><br>Also, Warner's arm was clearly moving forward and that was not a fumble at the end of the game.<br><br>All that said, Steelers could have still won, but not the way it happened.

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Jason, keep in mind that the call on the field can only be overturned by uncontroverted proof via replay -- and such proof didn't exist. I thought it was a good call. Bad call on the end of the game fumble but it wouldn't have made a difference. As I had said above, what an incredibly painful loss if you're a real Cardinals fan, one you won't shake for a long, long time.
|
OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>The play by Holmes was incredible and it was a catch. The one replay clearly showed both feet down. In regards to the end of the game what is warner doing in the first place? You have 18 seconds left so drop back and heave it, horrible dancing around and then winding up from the hip to throw it 50 yards, hell Flacco can toss it 50 going backwards.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I didn't see anything definitive to overturn the Holmes touchdown, which is all that matters. <br><br>I thought the last play at least deserved a review, but it was an entertaining fourth quarter where either team could have won. I thought the most interesting score was the safety, where the offensive lineman scored for the other team.

|
OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>they didn't stop play to review it. Instead we were told after the fact that it had been reviewed, which I find dubious. There is no way they had gone through the replay angles and given that play any scrutiny before Pittsburgh takes a knee, after which what are they going to do? The rules state that once a play is run there can be no challenge of the prior play. So you think they're going to call that play an incomplete pass and make the teams line up again after the crowd had rushed the field? No, but be sure to tell us you reviewed it and it was the right call. Weak, very weak.<br><br>It probably wouldn't have mattered, as there was only time for one Hail Mary, but boy, can you imagine if that Hail Mary would have been answered how even more incredible that fourth quarter would have been viewed?

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>For those who say giving Warner another play wouldn't matter, simply recall that the last play of the first half was a 100 yard touchdown.

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Cy</b><p>You people need to get a grip. The Steelers won the game. Period. All this talk about refs giving the Steelers the advantage is baloney. The only even remotely close penalty was the roughing the passer on Big Ben. But you tell me if that Jersey had Brady or Manning on it the back, would anyone been arguing. Also take a look at any play that James Harrison rushed the quarterback. It looked like those two were on the celebrity dancing show. <br><br>The fact of the matter is that the Steelers played the game for 60 minutes. The Cardinals had one big play that put them in position. And when it mattered the Steelers, behind Ben, marched like a machine down the field and scored. <br><br>Anything else is sour grapes.<br><br>Cy<br>
|
OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Let's review some things here:<br><br>The Cardinals had 406 yards of total offense. 377 yards were passing.<br><br>In my opinion, with the exception of late in the second quarter, and the fourth quarter, the Cardinals were the team that was outplayed.<br><br>Fitzgerald had a great fourth quarter. The rest of the game? One catch for 14 yards.<br><br>Santonio Holmes feet were in bounds and there is clear indication on the replay of this fact.<br><br>Finally, the last Cardinals offensive play was a fumble. The arm was not coming forward and Woodley's hand was on the ball which caused the fumble. Does anybody recall Warner arguing this call. I have to admit I didn't since I was too busy celebrating.<br><br>The long and short of it is that the officiating was bad for both sides. I saw Harrison and Woodley being held a lot. One time the call was on Gandy for holding Harrison when the more blatant hold was by the other tackle on Woodley.<br><br>End result is a Steelers win and another Super Bowl for Pittsburgh.<br><br>Good game, Cardinals.<br>

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>LetsGoBucs</b><p>I agree. The referees went both ways.<br><br>How about the first Warner fumble? The only reason his arm moved at all was that he was hit and he certainly wasn't throwing the ball because it was already on the ground.<br><br>When was the last time you saw a holding call in the end zone of a playoff game in the 4th quarter when it was close? Wiping out a first down that would have offered the Steelers the chance to get another first down and the game would have been basically over with the clock. I've seen guys tackled in the open in the end zone and no flag.<br><br>Big Ben plows into the end zone and they overturned a TD for Pittsburgh. <br><br>Doesn't sound like a conspiracy to me. In fact if you look at the replay I'd be willing to bet that you'll find a lot more holding going on by the Cardinals O-line than took place on Pittsburgh O-line. Personally I think holding happens on every play and they only call blatant holds when a guy is beat.<br><br>All that said, the only thing that matters is that Pittsburgh is again the Super Bowl Champions!!!

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>You're the one who needs to get a grip. The Steelers played for 60 minutes while the Cardinals got one play? What the hell game were you watching? The one where your punk DE ran back an INT 100 yards and Warner threw for 377 yards. Can you throw for 377 yards on one play? <br><br>There are no sour grapes here--just an observation that the refs should have reviewed one call. I've got no problem with the Steelers, but save that we played for 60 minutees crap. Your defense got lit up. Your brilliant, nobody moves or scores on this defense gave up two touchdowns and 200 yards in the fourth quarter when the game was on the line--real clutch.

OT: Super Bowl Sunday
Posted By: <b>Cy</b><p>Todd,<br><br>First off, the "Get a Grip" comment wasn't directed at you. If you thought that, I apologize. But it is directed at anyone who really thinks that the refs stole the game from the Cardinals. That didn't happen.<br><br>But to address your points. Assume that the big play didn't happen. It did. It was a great play but I said that the Cards had one big play. For the sake of argument, take the long Fitzgerald TD away and you have Warner throwing 200 yards into a pass prevent defense that yielded basically nothing. The stats would have been irrelevant.<br><br>Secondly, do you really think that the Steelers didn't play a 60 minute game? Do you really think that they weren't clutch? Ben got the ball with 2:35 left in a game that the Steelers had in control for a while, then fell behind. The first play was a holding play. So now it is 1st and 20. After that he methodically moved the Steelers down the field to score an amazing TD. If that isn't clutch, what is? I think it was Steve Young who said that this was Ben's defining moment as a professional. I agree.<br><br>Finally, the last Cards play, do you really think that the officials just glossed that one over? The head of officiating was at the game. It's the Super Bowl, they are not going to gloss over that play. The fact is that it was quite obvious that it was a fumble. If the officials wanted to do something to play around with that call, don't you think that it would have been more exciting to say, what the heck, let's give Warner one last shot at the end zone. But they saw it quickly and then did the right thing.<br><br>My final point, then I am done here. The Steelers won the game. The Cardinals came back, but when it truly mattered, the Steelers came up with the plays to win the game, not the referees. I just think it is disingenuous to say that the Steelers didn't win this game.<br><br>Take care.<br><br>Cy<br>
