Super Bowl XLIII predictions

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.

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.

Like I said.....

"the Steelers keep you on the "edge of your seat" in all the games they play."

Congrats to Ben and the Steeler Nation for Super Bowl #6!

He was one of the best and I'm sure he'll have a job on TV next season. It didn't surprise me in the least to see him at the table.

You may be right, but they've looked a lot harder at easier calls with less on the line. I just thought he was hit but kept control as his arm went forward. Obviously not a great pass, but forward none the less.

Didn't the defender hit the ball before it left his hand?

Yeah, I think he hit the ball, so what. The qb kept control and managed to move the ball forward while still in hand. Worth a look, I thought.

If the defender hits the ball it is hard to say he maintained control. It is possible that the rules states that somewhere being that there are a million rules. I thought they would look at it but noone seemed to even protest.

I actually thought the one earlier was a fumble too. But overall I thought the zebras did a good job. It was a chippie game with alot of flags, including a holding call in the endzone. You hardly see those in the regular season, let alone the Super Bowl.
