Really??

I was amazed at how he kept escaping from pressure to keep plays alive. I thought he played a great game and overall the game was very entertaining.

The lack of a running game was due to a few things. #1 both run D's did their job, and #2 Arizona is a passing team and they were playing from behind for alot of the game.

One thing that has always impressed me about Roeth, and even more so yesterday, is his ability to keep plays alive with his deceptive mobility. That play where he escaped a pass rush and being nearly sacked twice and then threw off the wrong foot across his body to the other side of the field to Heath Miller, that was a fantastic play that most people think are only reserved for the likes of Donovan McNabb.

I just ate the best sandwich ever. I just made it so naturally since it's fresh in my head, it makes it the best. No need to let it sink in and think about it

I understand Roeth is strong, but it amazes me how many jams he gets out of. I would think JC is more athletic and should be able to do the same thing. Maybe I'm underestimating Ben. You think about how many times he was sacked this year and you have to wonder how many times it would have been if Big Ben weren't so adept at evading the rush. He must have been under pressure all year.

Good fourth quarter. But not even close to the 'BEST SB EVER'

I agree with the last two posts. For me the 49ers win over the Bengals with Montana's pass to Taylor may have been the best, but the Rams v Titans was up there. THis one was close as, again it got exciting late.

I don't think the officiating was atrocious though. It was bad. Two reversals on review (and one wasn't even hard to call) and that roughing the passer call were bad, and how Harrison wasn't ejected for what he did I don't know. However, Gandy made it hard for them not to call holding and they did commit some other dumb fouls (like running over he holder!), so it can't come close to contributing to the result. However it does raise a lot of what if questions. It should be about the game on the field, not whether the officials made the difference.

In the end it was the Cards D failing to suck it up and play strong when it mattered that made the difference. They played well through the playoff's, but nobody will remember that compared with that last drive. I just hope the quality players on that Cards team get another chance sat the big one, whether with them or a new team. It would be a crime if Fitzgerald never gets a ring - he is awesome.

the non-call on the LAST TD celebration using the ball as a prop and multiple players going to the ground, and NOT even LOOKING at the last play was atrocious IMO.

NO WAY. Read the Aldridge column. He's right on here. Fairly boring and poorly played game until mid-4th Qtr.

David Aldridge: The Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII wasn't the greatest Super Bowl ever - The League at washingtonpost.com (http://views.washingtonpost.com/theleague/panelists/2009/02/super-bowl-xliii-greatest-super-bowl-ever-aldridge.html)

These SBs come to mind as better, not mentioned in the article:

SB XVII Skins 1st win, Hogs vs. Killer Bs, Riggo's run the #1 moment in Redskins history.

SB X Pitt beats Dallas 21 - 17, Lynn Swann amazing game.

SB XXXVI NE last minute drive to beat STL. Cost me $ 1300 in a missed square...damn you Weis/Brady
