Congratulations Steelers..
I know its a few days late and I have been posting blogs as of lately, but this years Super Bowl was for sure one of tha best I have personally seen in my life time. From the celebrations to the fights that was one action packed roller coaster that reminded me why I love football so damn much.
Tha first half closed with an amazing INT for 100 yard TD return and broke a Super Bowl record. Congrats on that. That run back was very nice and showed why he was tha defensive player of tha year.
Then tha long strike to Larry Fitzgerald for a score to get all Cards fans up and going.
But that finish was classic. Holmes got a nice grab from Ben to get PIT down tha field in range. Then that throw and catch, perfect. In my opinion that goes beyond last years finish for one of tha best. Holmes catch topped tha Giants TD in my opinion by far. Holmes wasn’t wide open and had to drag his feet and hold that ball. Ben placed tha ball perfect. Holmes deserved MVP.
I feel bad for Fitzgerald because he had his heart in this game like no other. Boldin played amazing and deserved a title. That whole AZ team deserved it just as much as PIT. I think tha biggest difference in this game that gave tha Steelers tha win, was AZ’s D not being able to bring Big Ben down enough. He kept on just getting away and completing passes. A few missed sacks in key situations gave PIT a W on tha biggest Sunday of tha year.
Some say that INT at tha end of tha 1st half gave them tha win. But AZ had 2 whole quarters to make up for that and they didn’t. You can’t blame Warner or that offense completely. That D just didn’t trap Ben enough and take him down. I understand he is big, but you gotta do your job as a defense player and at least get your damn hands in his face. They just missed tha tackles and didn’t throw hands up so he couldn’t make a throw.
Last off season I picked PIT to take it all and everyone laughed at me and said that Dallas would. And they didn’t even make tha playoffs..Ha
I was glad to see tha Cards make it for tha first time. Although they did beat my Eagles, which was kind of on a bullshit play where Hood (a former Eagle) tripped up Curtis, but no call was made. But that’s in tha past. Congrats PIT and AZ and all other playoff teams.
Now PIT has 6 Super Bowl titles to place them on top all time for SB Championships.
