Terrible decisions. Did you see the block in the back that helped Harrison get the 100 yard TD INT ? That was four terrible decisions by the officiating crew.

cards were robed . too come back too lead from 13 points behind.a super bowl record . they deserved too win BEN Graham's Super Bowl dream has ended in misery after his Arizona Cardinals had victory snatched away in the dying seconds. Pittsburgh won the National Football League title 27-23. The final quarter was a thriller, with Arizona appearing as though it would pull off the biggest comeback win in Super Bowl history by scoring two touchdowns in the final quarter to erase a 13 point deficit. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html

The Cards certainly got the rough end of the stick. Really enjoyed that game though. Fitzgerald was awesome. I just thought as soon as he went in for his 2nd it's too soon. Was nervous for them after that, and what Big Ben came up trumps. I hate that fat knacker for some reason!

The Cards punter was abysmal. Think you may be seeing him in oz next year!

Great game, shame i was in a pub full of Steelers fans though

We had a fair few at the Sports Cafe in Leeds waving their Terrible Towels around and singing Let's go Steelers. I wish I'd have nabbed a towel and wiped my nose on it then stamped on it like a couple of Titans players did in December.

Apparantly Byron Leftwich is a man in demand this offseason.

Send him to Chicago as the need a QB. Maybe even Tampa Bay if Garcia was to retire. I see Tom Cable is the new Raiders Head Coach.

Not a starter but a decent enough back-up.


I wouldn't mind him at our gaff to back up A-Rod.

Roughing the holder is a no brainer call there, he wasnt blocked into him and just ran straight in despite having ample opportunity to change his angle and avoid the holder.

Dumb play by Adrian Wilson IIRC, and not his only one of the night either.

He was blocked and he was falling forward and couldn't get out of the way of the holder. Harrison committed a worse dumb play by punching the Cardinals player and nothing happened. The officiating was dodgy at best against the Cardinals.
