Roethlisbuger was not very impressive.

After watching the NFL network last week and seeing the past Sb's and seeing the Pittsburg vs Dallas SB in 1979, it reminds me of what two really talented teams looks like.

It's beyond sad. I don't even understand why the refs call stuff like that. Especially in a game of this magnitude. But it seems every single week I see horrible calls that are just so bad that I've gotten use to it.

[quote=Whiteboi_J;524500]Y'all need to get out of here, saying this was the best super bowl ever! Man that game was so ugly to watch! no team could run the rock, Cards OTs [B]couldn't block a turtle[/B] coming off the edge, big ben kept the ball alive cause the cards couldn't tackle him.....saw more flags then at ur local July 4th parade....everyone saying it was best ever cause of the 2 lead changes in the 4th quarter, including a great catch by holmes in the corner.....HOW THE HELL did 3 guys let holmes get to the corner?!?!?!? It was good, but not nearly the best. not even top 10[/quote]

You want to take this one Goat? I thought it was a decent game....exciting at the end, but the officiating was'nt the greatest.....as usual.

Lol, I might use that for a presentation I have to do in class on consumer perceptions.

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

The issue with close games is people will always complain about calls. You either like the close games and deal with the calls good or bad or you like the blow outs where there is no question. For a long time we had blow outs and recently have been having a run of close games like this one. I would like to see the Skins pull some miracle and make it in next year and have a nice blow out. lol.

In any event we are one step closer to draft day. lol. Bring on the Pro bowl, Free agency, and then draft day. Yeah.

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

Seems to be a buzz stirring about the game being one of the best.

Not surprising the day after the game, let's see what they say in 2014

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.

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

could it be that to some degree the officials seemed incompetent or worse

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

[quote=Angry;524458]If not for that pick 6, they just may have.

I was also wondering why the corner went for the ball instead of trying to push Santonio Holmes out of bounds...stupid.[/quote]

three guys and you let him get behind you. what a lame ending for the cards

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.

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

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

Re: Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever
 

game was good, officiating was ATROCIUOS. the NFL should be embarrassed.
