And the refereeing was suspect on both sides. That was not roughing the holder and that was not holding in the endzone. 20 penalties? Yikes.

Yes there was a memorable ending but it doesn't save the rest of the game. Thumbs down.
I thought it was great, I enjoyed it from start to finish. And the handfull of memorable plays tops it off for me(Harrison's 100yd slow-mo scamper to end the first half, Fitz' triple coverage TD catch, and then later his exploding through centrefield while he accelerates past the entire Steeler D, and of course Santonio's remarkable catch in the endzone that we'll see for the next 50 years).

I'm not saying its the best game I've ever seen, just the best Super Bowl. Name a Super Bowl from XXV - XLIII(all the ones I've seen) that you feel was better. The only ones that IMO come close are XXXVIII(Pats over Panthers) and last year.
