Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever

[Defensewins]

In terms of excitement, yes it was close game.
But all time greatest? No.
The level of play was not all time greatest caliber.
The rule changes over the years has turned NFL football into a flag football throwing league and last nights game was the evidence of that.
73 pass attempts for 633 yards to only 38 running plays for only 72 yards. The Cardinals only ran the ball 12 times for 12 yards. Pathetic.
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. I saw Staubach take a vicious but yet clean hit that I expected him to miss a play or two. But he bounced back up like it did not hurt him at all. In today's NFL Roethlisberger last night got pushed (two hand push) and they called a 15 penalty. Sad.

The NFL and most if its fans wants a game like last night.

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.

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.

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 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.
