I've been a Steelers fan for the last 5 years and i was going crazy at 3am last night.Thought when Fitzgerald went in that we had left the win behind us but what a final drive.Holmes has his critics,myself included but he delivered big time last night.Harrison's interception return was incredible.Big Ben now has 2 Rings for a supposed "average" Q.B,ya right:rolleyes:.

He is an average QB. 1 TD in two superbowls. He'd make a fine linebacker/tight end though ;)

Gutted for the cardinals

Roethlisberger is a far above average QB. He doesn't put up gaudy stats but bar Brady no-one controls a game better than him at present. His first Super Bowl was a nightmare that he survived, in this one his numbers might have been dwarfed by Warner's, but in the clutch he got it done.

I was joking. He's a born winner and always performs under pressure. He was excellent last night too.

He's a big guy....monster size for a QB. I thought he was very unlucky not to score the TD off the first drive where his knee was judged to be down. Entertaining game, lots of talking points but I felt for the Cardinals...how close can you get?

Felt sorry for the Cards, having come from 13 points down.
A few bad errors on defense killed them on the last drive.

For someone who started watching SuperBowls in the 80's when they were all blowouts, the last few close finishes have been brilliant

If the Cards could get big ben down all those times he was running around like a chicken being chased by Colonel Sanders, If the DB that was covering Santonio didn't slip, if there wasn't so many penalties....you get the point.

So unlucky for the Cards, but fair play to Pittsburg, they got it done in the end.

Great game, perhaps too many penalties, but still an excellent finish. 100 yard TD, was incredible...
Roll on next season..

I hate every American sport, but love NFL. It's incredible. Anyone want a real good look at it's history, check out Americas Game on Sky. Brilliantly made documentary charting each Superbowl winner from 1966 to present day. 85 Bears, and 72 Dolphins are the pick of the bunch..

America's game is good alright.Another good one is Live Wire.they show clips of some players who have mics hooked onto their helmets.You can hear them thrash talking the opposition and especially the opposing QB,its funny:).The sound of the impact in the hits is good too.

The footage America's Game uses is by the NFL Films team. Gives a really different look to the game. I love it.

Classic bit of NFL Films here for ye. It's called The Autumn Wind, the voiceover is by 'The Voice of God' John Facenda.

NFL films has a great way of presenting their stuff, from the camera angles and music to the narration of the late John Facenda. Each clip is like an epic story.

Hmm, didn't know that. I was fed up of Sky's new 'Lets show the Americans highlight show'. It's rubbish. They used to have a great show on a Saturday morning with Kevin Cadle doing a quick run through of the weeks games. It was excellent. Might check out TV3 next season.

Anyone watching the Pro Bowl??

I hate the TV3 highlights show. The camera angles are terrible, i still watch it for some reason.

Camera angles are the same as with America's Game, i don't mind the camera angles in that, but not when im trying to watch games that happened a few days previous..Gameday for me.

This season passed I've a new system.
I record the live games with Skyplus. Then watch them in my own time, fast forwarding all the crap.
Still, thats only two or three games. The highlights shows are what let Sky down. Channel 4 had a brilliant one when I was growing up. Thats what got me into NFL.

NFL game day is a fine highlights show. Pretty much all of it is online too

The NFL films stuff is a nice compliment

Brett Favre is finally hanging up his jockstrap... :(

What a legend. NFL will miss him big time.

He should re-join the Packers and retire a packer, he was there 16 seasons after all..

Went sour there for him didn't it?

Not really. He said he was retring so the pack announced that Rodgers would be starter. Then Favre announced he wanted to come back but there wasn't space for him at Green Bay anymore. Might've been the odd nose out of joint but nothing too bad.

Great player. Shame the final 4 games were so tough for him

Sounds sour to me.. :p

Anyways, it was time to end it in my opinion.
Hall of Fame in the near future I expect.
