Steelers vs. Cardinals: Best Super Bowl Ever

[skinsfaninok]

It Was A Great Game!! Filled With Excitement, Fitz Is A True Monster!! And Its Time To Say Warner Is A Hof, The Guy Shows Up In Superbowls... But Last Years Was Hard To Top, But It Was The Best Back To Back Superbowls Of All Time!!! I Can't Wait Until The Draft And Next Season.... Go Skins 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was reviewed,at least from what I saw.Yes his arm went forward....but he did not have the ball............it had already been knocked out. Good last 10 min but great halftime!

i still can't get over the fact that they didn't review warner's fumble at the end. was anyone else surprised?

Yes totally. I felt it was a forward pass. Although a lot of people believe fumble. If the defender is trying to knock the arm backwards and the ball flies forward it's physics....the arm was going forward, but they didn't even try to look at it. They should have atleast done that to make sure it was the right call.

I was gonna call it the worst called game ever actually, just behind the Seahawks-Steelers SB. I've never seen so many calls go one way (in a team's favor). After the infamous "push-off" call i didn't thing a SB would be handled so badly but wonders never cease.

I was not enamored about the Cards/Steelers anyway so I only watched part of the game. I was only rooting for the Cards caused they have not won a SB yet.

That's the point ....the defender hit the ball as the arm was moving back(not forward) when the arm was moving forward there was no ball in his hand.What was looked at ....was the ball kicked and where it should be placed.

You know you guys are right about the hats. Holly cow. I didn't stay and watch the after game stuff so had to go to NFL.com to see it. I've seen all white with the team logo. I've seen hats with team colors and team logo. Heck I even want to say maybe black with team logo, but I've never seen a SB hat that does not have any of your colors other then white in it and use the logo. It clearly looks like a Seahawks hat. NFL should step in and force them to change it. I know it's late and some people already have their hats but a nice fine or force them to pull all the hats and change them would cost them money and would be a punishment enough. You can't tell me if the Cards won their hat color was going to be the same hat but with the Cards logo. Thats BS.

I actually lost a LOT of respect for the Steelers. I always thought they were just a hard-nosed defense but MAN they are a bunch of punk asses!

Personally I think it was one of the best played Super Bowls. Maybe I was watching a different game, but that game sure as hell wasn't boring.

The officiating was what it was. I don't think it determined the outcome of the game, so no problem there. As far as S. Holmes, that will go down as one of the greatest/clutch catches in Super Bowl history. And how about Darnell Dockett?

A ton of great individual performances, great play calling, and awesome team effort on both sides places this one at the top for me.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Darnell Dockett has prison muscles. That's the only way to describe that beast.

I've been watching the NFL since '77 (damn I'm old) and that was the best SB I've seen. I thought it was over when Fitz caught his TD to be honest. If they didn't rule that last play a fumble, I'm not sure the Cards don't get a very good shot at the end zone. Anyone who criticizes either team's play from yesterday was watching a different game than me.

Not sure if I would say it was the best SB ever, I think the dust needs to settle on it a bit to gain some perspective. It was a ho-hum game for a while but the end was very exciting. I thought the Cards were going to steal it.

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.

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

[mredskins]

Is it just me but I am starting to think the NFL is a little bit fixed. So many "crazy" games of late. There was a time where the Super Bowl was just a blow out now every year it is an amazing finish.

The penalities really did make a differnce in this game and the booth reviews.

At one point I was just waiting for Big Ben to come out and hit Kurt on the head with a metal chair when the refs were not looking. NFL=WWE

Been watching the Super Bowl sinc XVII and this ranks as one of the best (taking away the 3 Skins wins of course). My favorite of all time is still the Rams vs Titans. But this was a great game, reminded me of the Pats vs Panthers where it's an enjoyable game but then totally took off in the 4th quarter.
