Till the last five minutes it was a ten point difference...

It wasn't what I would call a good game. Yes, there were some nice plays, but there are those with any superbowl.

What are yout alking about? That was a great superbowl. And if you look in the other superbowl thread, you can see that I predicted Pitt by 4.....

[Nerfer327]

100yd. touch down = Effeminate FUCKING WIN.

[Vimes]

Awesome stuff! I'd call it a GREAT game myself and can you say: toe work? What a touchdown catch!

[Kyrativ]

The "fumble" near at the last 30 seconds was a load of shit! you could clearly see his arm go forward and release the ball.

I agree, I can't believe the booth made a decision that quickly. Plus, if the play was ruled an incomplete pass, the Steelers' 15 yard personal foul would have still applied. The Cards would have been at like 25 with 15 seconds to go....

Even though I was rooting for the Steelers that "fumble" seemed like bs to me. But it was an amazing game very intense.

[Tornado13]

Cards should have one. Total incomplete pass. Like nerfer34 said, they would have been at the 25 with 15 seconds left, as long as they got the ball out of bounds or got a good quick play in they could have won. Fuck Steelers, and Steelers fans. Also, that was a great game, no matter what anyone says, I wasn't a blow out Steelers and Cardinals both played great.

[Kuhlschrank]

That was the correct call. The steelers knocked the ball loose before his arm moved forward. It was Warner's elbow that pushed the ball forward.

Regardless, the endless string of personal fouls by Arizona is what killed them. While some, like the roughing the holder, were questionable, most of them were stupid, bonehead moves. I wanted them to win, but Arizona did not deserve it.

[Renegademilitia15]

Wow, that was a freaking intense game. I personally was rooting for the Cardinals, but congrats Steelers, they deserved it.

P.S. I'm surprised Talio hasn't posted in this thread yet. He was all over the other one.

[iMod1]

Even rooting for the steelers I could see the game was rigged. I mean seriously, every time the cardinals made a good play it was called back. Good job steelers, but screw the f**king refs. Man... even with all that unfair judging they still almost won... amazing.

Being a die hard hockey fan, I feel like the Pittsburgh Penguins get the better end of poor officiating on a regular basis. I guess this lopsided officiating for Pittsburgh carries over to football as well. I really disagreed with a few of the calls, especially towards the end.

Regardless, the Steelers were the better team tonight. That last play of the first half was a killer.

Amazing...I could not belive then 10 sec 100 yrd touch down! Amazing! This was one of the best close-call games ever!

[Tornado13]

I know everyone is raving about the huge 100 yd interception run back for a TD, but he didn't deserve it.I you had watched his personal foul later on in the game, that should have taken out that TD. Seriously! He shoved the Cards guy down 3 times! Count em', 3!!!!! So this is all of you people who are like " OMG AWESOMESAUCE!" He didn't deserve it.

[m14]

First off, in my opinion the Super Bowl wasn't a game until late in the third quarter. Yes, all the penalties is what killed the Cardinals. Lastly, no play from the game could beat David Tyree's helmat catch in triple coverage.

[death by cheez]

Okay, just because your team lost doesn't mean all you get to do is bag on the Steelers and get b****y at the ref's for some stupid calls. If when you lose you act that way, you have a pretty bad problem with getting beaten.

[aetherguy881]

I only watched the last 5 minutes of the game. Really, no one too important was playing in my opinion. I didn't see the 100 yard return, but I have since seen it; awesome.

I would have to say that the most interesting part of the game was watching the expressions of people at each play. I was at the school's super bowl party.

On a related note: I hate Madden, he's got to learn how to shut up and quit loving to hear himself talk. That or give him full rights to the yellow pen so he can draw hats on fans again...

[boom]

Okay people get this straight at the instant replay for the "AWESOMESAUCE' run the ball and his knee hit the ground.Anyways there was so many "personel" fouls that the steelers basicly hiked back and fourth.The refs called a lot of fouls (but in football ?)

His knees were on top of the guy trying to tackle him. Try watching it from 10 angles in high def. He was in. And you act as if the fouls were not only against the Cardinals, but that they didn't deserve them.

As for it being a "real game" - the entire game was pretty intense. I think you were watching something else.

[Ambience 327]

I don't have the NFL Rulebook memorized, but I'm still trying to figure this one out. (Note - I had neither emotional nor financial investment in either team, so I don't care who won or lost.)

The Cardinals were called for roughing the kicker, because a guy tripped and toppled into him after the kick. The Steelers were given a first down - retaining the ball.

The Steelers were called for roughing the kicker, because a guy who apparently has a really bad attitude problem held the guy down and shoved him numerous times after the kick. The Cardinals were awarded what amounted to a 6 inch penalty putting the Steelers nearly inside the rear endzone. (Yes, this did eventually result in that crazy Safety, but...)

Why were the penalties called in that manner? To me, the Cardinals "roughing" was uninentional, and certainly not aggravated. The Steelers, on the other hand, was quite intentional, and what I would call "flagrant" (does that exist in the NFL?). Why was the Cardinals' penalty more severe than the Steelers'?

All personal fouls are 15 yard penalties. But if the ball is within 15 yards from the goaline, it goes "half the distance to the goaline". So let's say you're at the 5, then you'd be at the 2.5 yard line.

Also, lets get this straight. James HArrison is the guy who returned the interception 100 yards and later committed a personal foul. That personal foul was only called because he punched to the guy. Everything else he did was perfectly legal. Your allowed to keep throwing a guy down while the play is going on....

It was intense but none of the personel fouls were any where near personal and/or intentinal(my spelling has gone to crap lately)

Dude, that was an awesome catch. Oh, and don't be sorry for Arizona, the underdogs suck ass.

Did you watch any of the Super Bowls the Patriots were in?
