Can't we just say great game?
I really enjoyed watching the game this year, as most Super Bowls are pretty vanilla in terms of a quality game.
I knew that if the Steelers won everyone would cry foul, but the Cards played a good game, they just commited too many penalties. Aside from the roughing the passer penalty against Dansby, they were all pretty legit calls.
Heck, even Ben's TD that got called back was closer to being a TD than his 2005 SB rushing TD that wasn't called back lol.
I think we got what you would pretty much expect on paper and then a bit more. Fitzgerald being doubled, then scoring when his team needs it, Harrison the D player of the year pick 6, Warner racking up yardage, and Ben not putting up great numbers but getting it done when it counts.
I think the last call should have been reviewed, but Tomlin got the offense out there quickly before they decided to give it an official review. Thats smart coaching folks.
Personally I liked both teams, I thought the Steelers were deserving cuz of there awesome D and there incredibly tough schedule of playing the who's who of the NFL. The Cards for rolling over the Falcons, Panthers and my Eagles when no one gave them a chance in any of those games.
I thought Goodell was right when he said this years SB may very well top last years, after all, pretty much nothing happened last year until mid way through the 4th other than Brady getting sacked and really pissed off lol. This years game was good from start to finish IMO.
Agree on would have been better if the Eagles had made it....seeing as how we layed the Smackdown on Ben and the boys in week 3....;)
Dude, regarding reviewing the last play - Al and John and NBC were still looking at replays when and all of a sudden they cut to Ben snapping the ball for the kneel down.
I think you can say they weren't expecting that to happen, certainly Al and John weren't.

I agree that it was a tremendous game, but for at least the next couple of weeks people will remember the questionable officiating. The disparity in penalty yardage was huge, the timing of the calls were impeccable, and to top it off there was no real effort to confirm the play that literally sealed the game for the Steelers.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, and I really do believe that there was no intent of the referees to swing the game in Pitts favor, but as a long time football fan who had no vested interest in either team I can honestly say that the Cardinals really did get the short end of the stick on several occasions.

For one it wasn't that good, the final quarter was good but the overall game not so much, I was bored for pretty much three quarters. The end of the first half was pretty good as well when the cards scored and then the steelers had the 100 yard INT. But i am getting tired of people saying this and that, this penalty got called that didn't why didn't that play get reviewed (when it actually did). Congrats steelers, maybe eagles can get a ring next year, or so i hope.

Yes we can, however you are wrong about the Steelers getting their offense out there to run a play before the upstairs booth could decide to review the call. They had plenty of time to decide and they did NOT, plain and simple. ALL close calls are reviewed by the the booth in the last two minutes of the game automatically and the game should have been stopped. It may have made no difference in the outcome of the game but fair is fair....and this was not fair to the Cardinals.
Source(s): Kyle S. The Cards last play was NOT reviewed as the announcers mis-stated. ALL reviews are announced by the officials on the field and this did NOT happen, therefore there was NO review. - How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.

Best Super Bowl I've ever seen, Harrison's play was the best Super Bowl play I've ever seen, and no, I'm not a Steelers fan. I was rooting for them though.
Regarding the last call, here's a quote (source below):
"According to NFL VP of Officiating Mike Pereira, the replay official upstairs did see the play clearly."
“We confirmed it was a fumble,” said Pereira. “The replay assistant in the replay booth saw it was clearly a fumble. The ball got knocked loose and was rolling in his hand before it started forward. He has to have total control.”

A very good game. regardless of everything else, we saw two teams leave it all on the field and that is the best you can ask for. The best team on that day won. Hard to swallow, but they are all big boys and they know there is no gray area in football, the team that finishes ahead on the scoreboard at the final gun, wins.

IMHO I think football teams are all fair...they have their negatives and positives...
You won't believe people I know waste their time they could be doing something productive or hanging out they sit on their asses watching football ALL DAY and NIGHT...like nothing else exists...I don't HATE Football, but there are MUCH more important things...
