    I'm rooting for the Cards for no other reason than they are the underdog. I hope its a fun game.

      wow, 10 point or 14 point turnaround on one play! 10-10 or 14-10 to 7-17.

      That will be hard to make up.

        Especially hard to make up when the refs are calling BS roughing the passer and facemask calls. The roughing call was iffy. I could see that one going either way, but I thought it was really close and have seen them let MUCH worse go. The facemask however, was ridiculous because both guys had their hands in each other's facemasks but they only called the Arizona player.

        [edit]...and as I'm typing this Pitt is doing a nice job of shooting themselves in the foot with the safety...[/edit]

          Fitzgerald is a freak of nature. He knew he was going to the house as soon as he caught it. Arizona should throw the kitchen sink at Ben on this drive. The Steelers D is tired. They are holding on almost every play, and getting caught too.

            Absolutely unreal. Larry Fitzgerald is an absolute beast, and James Harrison is a scumbag. Beating up on a special teams player for no reason..what a douche.

              Man the Cards picked a bad drive to play their worst D of the entire game. We're about to see how much of a beast Larry Fitzgerald really is. If any receiver can pull this off, he can.

                It was a good game, although I think Arizona got some bad calls in the first half. The difference maker was the pick 6.

                  That was a very good game. Would've liked to have seen Warner get the ball into the end zone at the end just to see if Fitzgerald had one more freakishly athletic play in him.

                  IMO Warner's the MVP even though AZ lost - they won't give it to him though.

                    It's a shame that football games can't be won or lost without help from the terrible refereeing -

                    I miss the days of CLEAN, HONEST wins.

                      I'm surprised Warner's 'fumble' wasn't reviewed more thoroughly in the booth.

                        Great game if only Pittsburgh had covered the spread.

                          I'm not and I bet Mike Holmgren was thinking the same thing

                            That was a great game. Holmes's catch will go down as one of the best moments in Super Bowl history. I didn't really care who won, but am glad it turned out to be a hell of a game.

                              Harrison must have mistaken the special teams player for his girlfriend whom he slapped around last year.
