Super Bowl XLIII predictions
 
Let's get it started early....

The NFL's #1 defense versus the high powered Cardinal offense, the experience of Kurt Warner in "big" games versus the toughness of the Steeler's QB Big Ben, the Cardinals are a new team since the playoffs with a complete turnaround, the Steelers keep you on the "edge of your seat" in all the games they play. Defense wins big games (remember Tampa Bay over the Raiders a few years back?) and frankly, I'm sick off everybody jumping on the Cardinals bandwagon! :mad: I haven't forgotten thier games this year versus the Jets, Vikings and Patriots....I guess everybody else has. The "Redbirds" face thier toughest team yet......

STEELERS 28
CARDINALS 17

as a Steelers fan i'd like to see:
Pittsburgh 24
arizona 10
But i have a BAD feeling.:(

TheSpyder 01-31-2009 06:53 AM

Arizona 27
Pittsburgh 24

Very tough game to read as well as get excited about. I think the key will be injuries in the game.

Cannon Shell 01-31-2009 07:27 AM

Pitt 34
AZ 23

hurricanefrank 01-31-2009 07:29 AM

AZ 23
Pitt 20

jwkniska 01-31-2009 10:34 AM

AZ 31
Pitt 28

AeWingnut 01-31-2009 10:51 AM

I am hoping for


Kurt Warner 57
Pittsburgh 20



realistically the Cardinals defense will make it look like Pittsburgh has a great offense. Too much pressure on Kurt and the O line with zero chance of a running game. That dirty hippie running around being a ball hawk will make life tough for Kurt he has lost a little over the years. But if the Steelers don't cheat like a certain other team... it will be close.

pitt 34 az 20

I rarely feel that strongly about pro football but for the newly minted Cards fans I think you have missed the wedding and are attending the funeral.

I don't see the Cardinals defense getting it done. Maybe they won't have to but I don't see it

declansharbor 01-31-2009 05:20 PM

Cards 20
Steelers 11

For block pool sake. I really like the under in this one.

My real prediction is Cards 27- Stillers 17

hi_im_god 01-31-2009 05:27 PM

I'm pretty sure this is chicago-ne circa 1985.

pittsburgh is chicago in the analogy.

I'll be rooting for the Cards.....but the all-time mush laid money on the Cards to win the Super Bowl. Thats what the Cards will be up against. THANKS JERRY!

Browns fans can't pick Pittsburgh, regardless.

Yeah, we can. A Cardinals victory and reward to the Bidwells would be a worse slap in the face to a Brown fan than yet another Steeler super bowl. I simply cannot hope the Cardinals win the Super Bowl. You could argue the Bidwells are the worst owners in pro sports. It's just the Super Bowl, my guess is they'll play the stupid thing again next year regardless.

very good point. you have the FAR opposites in ownership in the biggest game.

Cardinals 34

Steelers 24

I predict a Steeler victory will make their fans even more obnoxious than they already are. (I know, it seems impossible)

I know far more obnoxious Cowboys, Bills and Jets fans. The Steelers are more tradition....like one big family.

herkhorse 02-01-2009 05:27 PM

Arizona 37 Pitt 34 OT

Danzig 02-01-2009 07:04 PM

what a way to enter the half. huge momentum shift in the steelers favor.
maybe by the start of the 3rd, that linebacker will have his wind back.

cowgirlintexas 02-01-2009 09:04 PM

Too bad for Cards and Warner...Great game tho....

Cannon Shell 02-01-2009 09:13 PM

AZ hung in there tough, great game, Pitt needs some guards, Cromarite- Rodgers should get voted a winners share by Pitt

hoovesupsideyourhead 02-01-2009 09:18 PM

at least they made it a game no huddle should have gone up early.. they covered:D :$:

MaTH716 02-01-2009 09:21 PM

It reminded me alot of the Titans Rams SB. The first half sucking and the 2nd half being unbelievable. Was that the most penalized game ever in the SB? I have to give the Cards alot of credit, they hung in there when they could have just folded up shop. I never thought that they were even going to be in this game, and they were one defensive play away from winning it.
Congrats to the Steelers and their fans.

PeteMugg 02-01-2009 09:34 PM

No dog in the fight, but all year long I've seen incomplete called on any reception that the ball touched the ground at any point. And that last fumble call ... are you serious?

At least be consistant.

I thought that the zebras got that right. He lost the ball before his arm went foward.

the left guard is awful, the right one merely bad. I dont think private tutoring from John Hannah will help that Samoan looking dude.
