Well...remember it was NOT the defense won this game, it was the OFFENSE did.

As for the Cardinals, they will have to buck the trend that 7 of the last 8 Super bowl losers have failed to make the playoffs the next year.

I like them and think they have a VERY bright future. They have a very good team with a TON of VERY young and VERY good players and one GREAT player! Their whole issue with next year is IF Warner comes back, is Leinart ready?

Man you guys like to get an early start.

Really? You really think that? Did you watch the same game as me?

To me, that interception return by James Harrison was the difference.

I agree, except for that TD pass to Fitzgerald, the D did a good job.

Really??!! And you don't think the 3 personal fouls in one drive didn't have a hand in them losing. Again, what WON the game was that drive by Big Ben, not some game saving stop in the final seconds....because EVEN with Bolden, Warner and Fitzgerald AND two time out...it was almost impossible to drive 75 yards with 40 seconds left in the game.

That inception was huge...no doubt, but as you can see, the Cards came back and STILL took the lead.

it was and it wasn't. remember that once the cardinals lead with a little over 2 minutes left in the game, that play before the end of the half became history at that point. don't get me wrong,that play was critical at that moment because you didn't want the cards taking the lead before the half and then getting the ball back to start the 2nd half. but the cards overcame that play by harrison once they took the lead. what Ben did there at the end in that last drive with holmes is what won the game. trust me,years from now what you will remember more than anything else is that last drive

i agree. the whole team contributed to winning that game. holding that offense of the cards to that amount of points isn't easy. but the offense had to do what it did there at the end or the steelers lose

You got that right. 14 point swing, that made the difference in this game. It would have changed the game completely if the Card's had scored. They go into the locker room with a lead and the ball in the beginning of the second half. This was the game changing moment, I don't care who scored last, this play changed the game.
