Super Bowl XLIII Thread - Page 7

I personally could care less who wins this game.. but the last 5 minutes of this game have been an incredible mix of fun plays and stupid penalties to watch.

I have a feeling this won't go down as one of the all time great superbowls.

sterlingice · 02-01-2009, 08:50 PM

Still a long time to go

SI

Jas_lov · 02-01-2009, 08:50 PM

This is the biggest comeback in Superbowl history.

CU Tiger · 02-01-2009, 08:50 PM

watch that replay 92 (Harris?) at the 15yard line #43 taps him on the shoulder and he pulls up.

Im not suggesting something more than it is but it looked strange in replay.

I expect the Steelers to march down the field on this soft defense. Could we see overtime?

SI

Noop · 02-01-2009, 08:51 PM

Way too many flags...

Izulde · 02-01-2009, 08:52 PM

Another Roethlesberger escape. Damn!

Its like the players have just checked out mentally of this one and are just doing stupid things now. Most of these aren't even debatable if they are a penalty or not.

Philliesfan980 · 02-01-2009, 08:53 PM

This is the time Ben pulls a drive out of his ass that totally negates the fact that he's an average QB the rest of the time.

I guess that's what the good ones do though.

He did, but I think he was talking about endorsements. Larry Fitzgerald is going to gain millions in endorsements if he wants them.

With their offense? I can't imagine expecting that.

Frankly Ben looks to me as though he belong in the QB rotation at South Carolina more than the Super Bowl.

I agree but I would hate for the refs to taint this possible win for Arizona.

He's had a good game in its entirety, they just haven't finished drives, but Ben has made mostly good throws.

HOw soft is it? Cards D has only given up 13 points.

Edward64 · 02-01-2009, 08:55 PM

How the heck did the Cards not sack Ben just now!

Alan T · 02-01-2009, 08:55 PM

Nice catch by Holmes there

That would nice to have an OT.

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 08:57 PM

Dumb run by Ben there, had to take the T.O. Nice drive thus far, Santonio Holmes has looked really good tonight, wouldn't mind seeing that quick pass to him again.

Even the best teams get soft in a situation like this and the Cards are not one of the best teams. You know what I mean- every defense sits back in this situation and lets the offense chunk out 10 yards at a time and then goes "how did they get us?"

SI

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

SANTONIO AGAIN!!!

Young Drachma · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Wowsers. A great last few minutes in this one.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Wow. Santonio Holmes has had a heck of a game too.

Izulde · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Hot damn! Amazing play by Holmes there

Philliesfan980 · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Well, at least you know how it feels, AZ fans...

I am still baffled how you dont think holding should be a penalty. Might as well just let blocks in the back go too.

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

WOW, wow, wow, wow. My wife said the dogs are hating the yelling going on and then I realized it was me. Whew, deep breath...

Tekneek · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

I think Pittsburgh will pull this out, but at least Arizona made it exciting.

sabotai · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

The Steelers should have let 20 seconds or so run off the clock there.

Noop · 02-01-2009, 08:58 PM

What a great game.

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 08:59 PM

CLOSE on 1'st down...

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 08:59 PM

Madden's right, gotta make that catch.

Philliesfan980 · 02-01-2009, 08:59 PM

Man, where was this version of Santonio Holmes on my fantasy team this year?

JonInMiddleGA · 02-01-2009, 08:59 PM

Because of the score & the final minutes nature I imagine this game will get decent marks for being a "good" SB. But it's the product of a series of dumb plays by both teams and a DB that falls down that makes it what it is. I'm just not seeing this as worthy of "good" from the standpoint of performances, only for the drama the mistakes have created.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

That could have been one of this signature catches that people talk about decades later.

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

You've got time, go over the middle.

Young Drachma · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

JonInMiddleGA · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

Gotta be a review coming up on that one.

Izulde · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

No way, that did not look like a TD

QuikSand · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

zounds

Tekneek · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

Is that REALLY a TD?

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

And that will be. What a game for Holmes. What a catch.

Noop · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

Santonio Holmes for MVP.

Dr. Sak · 02-01-2009, 09:00 PM

What a catch

Eaglesfan27 · 02-01-2009, 09:01 PM

Looks like a clear catch to me.

Tekneek · 02-01-2009, 09:01 PM

Big finish...

PurdueBrad · 02-01-2009, 09:01 PM

MVP SANTONIO HOLMES...what a final series for him.
