Default The game ball should go to the Arizona coaches - I've never seen worse play calling

They don't start to use Larry Fitzgerald, the best receiver in the league, until 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Possessing the worst running game in the league, they waste the first half trying to run the ball, against the best run defense in the league. Then, at the end of the game, with 2 tosses left, they don't throw it in the end zone to Fitzgerald, who can easily jump and get the ball. The Cardinals had the game won... the coaches gave it away. They should at least replace the offensive coordinator next year.

I agree that both teams played a good game (I do question the first touchdown that was recalled...but what can you do?) - I was rooting for my Steelers of course, but Arizona really played well.

Unbelievable game. Cards are much better than I thought they would be.

Ben is now a living legend. Best comeback/game winning drive I have ever seen. I have to say that I expected him to drive down for a TD with 2 minutes left. He has done it all year.

I think he should have been MVP, but Holmes was amazing on that drive also.

One of the best SB ever. The plays were superb from both teams. I like the Cardinals, since they used to be in St. Louis, but youngest son likes the Steelers the best. So, I have to go with the Steelers.

Arizona took too long to get anything going but to their credit they kept on fighting. I think what killed them was giving Pittsburgh so much time to work with after Fitz's go-ahead TD. This was certainly one of the best games I have seen.

Oh, and James Harrison should have been ejected after the punch. But it is was it is.

Congrats to both teams on great seasons.

If only a Cardinal could have tackled that defensive end who ran the entire field for the touchdown. Didn't even matter where...it was halftime. Could have made the difference.

The steelers won fair & square.Kurt Warner & fitzgerald played a hell of a game for the cards.Had the cards utilized the time clock better it might of been a different outcome.The refs made all correct calls on penalties.The last 3:26 of the game (4th qtr) was nail biting.What a game!

I heard that the buy hit/punched him in the groin right before he did that. I will have to watch the replays to see if that really happened.

Great halftime too!!!
Not sure if it is luck. He does that EVERY game. I am actually used to it since he does this every week.
