Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever

[hondakiller]

It was great until the last ten seconds. They spent 10 minutes reviewing that Holmes touchdown which was fairly clear and they didn't bother with the last play of the game. IMO, they got the call wrong too. Wrong or not, that play should have been reviewed and there will always be what if's because it wasn't. Those lead changes were epic and that call totally ruined it.

especially when arizona has fitzgerald, and with the premature celebration by pittsburgh, that would have tacked on 15 yards and made a very doable 35 yard field for a touchdown. i will be forever unsatisfied with that ending.

Best ever? The end was great, no doubt. However, a big part of the game was really, really, really boring.

[FRPLG]

At what point was that game boring? It was close and never bogged down or anything. I get bored real easy watching teams I don't care about but that game was fun to watch the entire time for me.

It was poorly officiated, I lost all respect for the (FIST THROWING) Steelers, The MVP is a POTHEAD and the Superbowl championship hats are Seahawk colors WTF.
The best part of the game was the free beer! I took a bet that the Cards would win or lose by by the spread, the wager was buying the days worth of beer.

I noticed the hat colors and it makes me think that it was a jab at the Seahawks whining after losing that SB.

I saw Ryan Clark put another nasty hit on a guy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. A lady at work told me that the NFL had taken out the rule for helmet to helmet unless it's against the quarterback. The last hit he put on the guy in the Raven's game looked to me like he was going in with his shoulder and just happened to hit the guy with his helmet. The hit he put on the guy tonight looked like all helmet. I thought the only guy allowed to lead with the helmet was the RB? What's the rule?

Basically i see the steelers has holding two of the most "tainted" sb's in the nfl. Just terrible officiating. Oh well... let FA speculation begin.

Tainted Super Bowls? I guess I dont see how officiating could taint a win since the calls happen as the game develops. Actually if any team has tainted Super Bowls it the Skins, with winning them in strike shortened/ruined seasons but I dont hear anyone on this site complaining about that.

The end was great, no doubt. Totally agree about the final fumble. What do they have replay for?

Way too many penalties, but the INT return for a TD was pretty amazing.

Larry Fitzgerald is one bad-ass man. Felt bad for him.

I'm sorry but the Warner fumble not being questioned with less than 20 seconds was BS. On top of that Holmes TD was not a TD after watching closely you can see his other foot did not touch the ground after he caught the ball. This super bowl was boring as hell except for the last 7 minutes or so. Also James Harrison is MVP because that INT he returned for a TD was the biggest game changer EVER in SB history!

That's just incorrect.

My wife kept saying that his right foot was only touching his left foot but never touched the ground. They never gave us a good enough angle to actually see if the toes of his right foot hit the turf. It was really close.

As for the game overall, I'll agree w/Mike Golic who said it was a great 4th quarter but there was some sloppy play prior to that.

Calls were big, I thought the personal foul on Dansby was bogus & yet Warner took several hits that were just as 'late.' But I think they at least called the holding well, and they got Pitt for it in the end zone. Fitzgerald got held a lot.

His right foot was kinda tucked behind the left one and it was really hard to tell if it touched the ground or not. Either way it was too close to overturn. Great catch by Holmes.

I thought that holding call was too close to call in that situation. The Steeler lineman was pancaked and I didnt think he was holding because he was busy getting knocked on his azz. IMO, that was the biggest call of the game as it gave AZ the ball back for their taking the lead drive when it looked like Pgh was going to start a drive of their own.
