Great game, blah blah. Loving it man, loving it.

Disappointed in Harrison, lost so much respect for him, but thats one blemish on a great year and the world champs.

GO STEELERS!

Not going to lie - I was pulling for Warner and Fitzgerald, 2 really classy guys. Great game tho, just as good as last year!

I gotta say from an Australian standpoint that American football is the most frustrating thing to watch in the last minute if its a tight game. Is it just me or did the final 35 seconds take about 9 minutes to get played out???

With that aside, it was a great game. I was pulling for the Cardinals as they have an Aussie in there (Ben Graham, kicker) but was just as happy that the Steelers got it.

Was thinking of Jeff jumping round the lounge room with excitement as Holmes made the final catch. (Wow, that sounded a lot straighter in my head)...

Yeah, I was going nuts.

The last minute of football really builds a lot of excitement, but sometimes that long can be frustating, especially when you know a game is over.

And lefty, I got what you meant,

What did Harrison do? I watched the whole game but shut it off once the actual game was over...did I miss something?

To be honest, I thought the actual game was BORING until the last 10 min or so. I thought Warner played great and was really pulling for him but you can't argue with Ben-he plays well under pressure.

Untimely personal foul for hitting one of the O linemen while he was down on the ground. Almost cost the Steelers the game and he should have been tossed from the game. It was a classless act.

Congrats, Jeff. How long was your heart stopped in the fourth quarter?

I guess I missed that.

How about Arizona's defense? I thought they played about as well as you coudl have hoped. How many times did the Steelers get inside the 10 only to walk away with a FG? Especially the time when the guy ran over the holder!!

Great game regardless of who won!!

Sad thing about Harrison is he had THE spectacular play of the game IMHO and then ruined it by being stupid. The guy sets a Super Bowl record and then almost cost his team the game.

That game was great to watch. It started out like the Steelers were going to run away with it and then the Cards started to buckle down.

It's funny, the Al and Madden were talking about how Fitzgerald's number wasn't getting called and then the guy starts to go off. The game then became two heavyweights exchanging blows. The fourth quarter alone was worth the price of admission.

It is hard to believe that Big Ben is only turning 27 this year, he is quite poised in the pocket (I use pocket very loosely here) when the heat is on. To go along with some earlier threads, the guy's numbers aren't all that great but he simply gets it done when he needs to. The winning touchdown was just incredible; perfectly placed throw and a spectacular catch (Holmes was in triple coverage!!!).

I was pulling for the Cards... but it was a great game... lots of fun to watch!

**JEFF4i** · iTrader: (3) #11 (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 10:57 AM

Yeah, it was a lot better game than what I was hoping for, haha. What really got me about Harrison's foul was the punch, it was just unecessary, even if he was provoked. That said, hope it never happens again.

And Tim, my heart didn't start till I saw the victory formation.

In a nutshell, I think Big Ben beat Kurt Warner. Ben overcame a tenacious Cardinals defense better than Warner played against a great Steeler defense.

Heath Miller was a non factor.
Hines Ward was a non-factor.
But Ben still got it done with good play by Washington and Holmes.

Warner wasn't the gunslinger he needed to be to win, and the Cardinals had too many stupid penalties.

Great 4th quarter, for sure, and a great throw and catch for the win.

The commercials sucked worse than ever. The only bright spot were the "Heroes" ads. And did anyone else notice no American automaker ads?

Good game, but not an instant classic.

Dang, i was a bit busy, and to be honest didnt really care who won so i only watched about 5 minutes of the game, but in that 5 minutes i saw 3 personal fouls on various cardinals....rediculous

Hard to win while giving up free yardage like that.

**JEFF4i** · iTrader: (3) #14 (**permalink**) 02-02-2009, 11:15 AM

Heath had some big plays to help the Steelers, but I agree Ward didn't get much, just a few passes.

I did like the Hyundai ad where, "they finally got he name right." Just think its funny because so many people mis-pronounce it here until recently when they started getting better.

Have had that issue a few times driving the Tib...

"Thats a nice car! What is that?"

"Hey, thanks! Its a Hyundai Tiburon"

"A Honda?"

"No, HYUNDAI"

"Is it foreign?" OR "Oh, i heard those are really crappy cars" OR "Yeah...Honda...thats what i said"

"yeah" OR i slap them with the fexible end of a fishing rod across their face
