Super Bowl Recap
Posted in Football, NFL, Super Bowl on February 2, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Congratulations to the Steelers on their 6th Super Bowl yesterday. They did what they needed to do to win. The last drive will go down in history as one one of those famous drives. Congratulations to the Cardinals on a hard fought game and season.
Now to the fun stuff. Can you say Conspiracy Theory? The officiating of this game was horrible. This gives the Steelers controversial Super bowls wins. I believe that Kurt Warners arm was moving forward thus making it a complete pass. If the officials agreed, with the personal foul, It would have been 1st and 10 at the Steelers 35. The Cardinals have the weapons to make that play. The Steelers did what they needed to do.
The NFL needs to keep their calls consistant. I don’t care that it is the Super Bowl, Santonio Holmes committed a penalty and the ref ignored it. Now the season is over, will Holmes be suspended for his drug incident. Be consistent, make your calls and shut up!
Hey Dan Patrick, the Steelers are have the NFL record for Super Bowls, not NFL Championships. Before the merger, they were nothing. The team with the most NFL championships is the Green Bay Packers with 11. The Steelers have long way to go.
Super Bowl Preview

I love the game of football, but I am tired of the crap that come with the Super Bowl. Here is a quick preview of what I feel is important. The Arizona Cardinals have the 4th ranked offense in the NFL, but the 19th ranked defense. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the top ranked defense in the NFL, but the 22nd ranked offense. During the post-season, the Cardinals offense has continued to role and their defense has stepped up. The Steelers offense has not been great, but they won’t lose the team the game. For the Steelers to win, the defense needs to keep up what they are doing, and the offense must eliminate mistakes.
It isn’t as simple for Arizona, they need to protect QB Kurt Warner and make holes for the running backs. They need to win time of possession. The Steelers will keep running and use up the clock, so it is imperative to keep the Steelers offense off the field. The Cardinals defense needs to stop the run and guard the deep pass. Getting to QB Ben Roethlisberger isn’t going to be an issue, he was sacked 46 times this season.
The prediction:
Arizona 17 Pittsburgh 24
I want the Cardinals to win, but I just don’t think they can beat the Steelers D.
