Actually, it was a little boring for 3 quarters. The 4th qtr is all you needed to see.

The kind of game you hate to see either team lose - no matter who you support.

Best wishes,

Doug

Holmes should get the MVP.

I thought the Cardinals were a little better than the Steelers today, but obviously the interception return made up for it.

Agreed....what a drive of him!

The look on Larry Fitzgerald's face when Holmes scored says it all. Heartbreak in the desert tonight

He made a great play.

But this is why the Cards were 9-7. They let him get to the back of the end zone not just once but twice. (that's the kind of route the Cards should have run at the end of the first half, a jump ball to Fitzgerald towards the back pylon, not a forced pass to the middle that went the other way.)

Not to mention the pathetic defense on that last drive.

14 point swing but ya know what....I think the Steelers would have found a way anyway.

The better team won.

How do you not review that fumble?

jondiehl · Post by **jondiehl** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 11:18 pm

I don't think he got that back toe down on the winning TD catch.

I can't believe that they didn't review the Warner fumble at the end either. His arm was moving forward and he was still touching the ball, just not with a full grip. Lots of bad bad bad officiating in this one. Great game though.

Looked like a fumble to me...

Too bad all SB's can't play out like that. The last one I remember was when the Titans were stopped just short of the goal line on the very last play.

No reviews after the 2 minute warning, but they looked at it upstairs.. Both Madden and Michaels agreed it was a fumble

The backside super close-up showed the toe down, I thought.

I think the hit caused Warner's arm to move forward and fumble on that last play. Remember, there's a reason Warner wears a glove on his throwing hand, even in warm weather: The guy has been plagued with problems holding the ball for most of his career.

Hell of a game. Man, I thought Tyree's catch last year was nuts, but Holmes' winning catch was SICK. Great concentration.

This was a choppy, chippy game in which the terrible towel became the refs' flags. There were a lot of tough calls to make tonight, but I think the refs got a lot of them right. The safety caused by the hold, the personal foul on Harrison, Harrison crossing the goal line on the 100-yard interception return, the roughing the holder against Arizona, the personal foul against the Pittsburgh defensive back on the out-of-bounds hit on Boldin in the fourth, the toe drag by Holmes on the winner. About the only call that wasn't properly reversed or that really stood out as poor was the roughing the passer against Arizona on Roethlisberger in the second half. He was barely touched.

I'm happy: I took Arizona +6.5 and the over 46.5 and also won the season football pool, with some nice change coming my way. Plus my 8-year-old son won $25 after the third quarter playing the squares tonight on the dollar board. That's a nice chunk for a little lad; he smiled like he just won $250.

Win-win!

Take care,
PK

And that shoestring tackle on Dyson was the greatest play in Super Bowl history, despite Madden's typical hyperbole at halftime ordaining Harrison's interception return with that honor.

I agree...lots of calls...Maybe too many but most of em were good.

I thought the game was over a couple of times so props to the Cards.

Just a great finish...f***in great!

Again grats to the Steeler fans!!!
