What a finish....
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I only managed the first half.
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..
watching him afterwards with the oxygen mask on was funny, fitness is not his strong point:DQuote:

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..Quote:

The footage America's Game uses is by the NFL Films team. Gives a really different look to the game. I love it.
well said, really lets you learn the history of the game.Quote:
