Official Superbowl Thread! Superbowl XLIII! Superbowl!

[photon]

As requested.

I had to Google who was in it.

[HOOT]

I believe my Cards can pull this one off if they can play like the last few weeks.

GO CARDS GO!!!

[SteveToms]

Go Cards!

[4X4]

Go Cardinals!! Booooooo Sh1ttsburgh...

[browna]

Thanks for option #3.

The Steelers got thier last Superbowl delivered to them from the men in stripes..as a SEA fan it'll be almost as hard to watch them probably walk over a team that only beat one playoff team all regular season and probably won't make the playoffs next year.

[HelloHockeyFans]

I think Steelers win this one by two TDs.

[Montana Moe]

I'm rooting for Arizona, but I think the Steelers will get it done. If the Cards can score 24+ they have a chance.

If AZ does win, I think their secondary could be the story.

[rubecube]

I'm just trying to decide whether Arizona's offense can score enough on Pittsburgh's D to beat the 6.5 spread.

EDIT: Make that seven. If the line keeps moving towards Pittsburgh then I'm definitely betting on Arizona.

[kn]

I'm hoping for Arizona but I think the Steelers will be too much for them to handle.

What's not to like about Kurt Warner?

Gotta love bitter Canucks...err Seahawks fans.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Cardinals beat three playoff teams the past three weeks? Clearly that's not as important as what they did in the regular season.

[Slava]

Its pretty hard to bet against the Cards +7, given what they've done over the past few weeks. Philly looked good going into that game and the Cards handled them pretty well.

[HOOT]

I think the Steelers will win the game, but I'd love to see the Cardinals win it. Kurt Warners had a Hall of Fame calibre career but people still don't regard him as a Hall of Fame guy. Odd since I think he's got a great career winning percentage, the highest number of 300 yard games in terms of percentage with a minimum 100 starts. If he wins this game he becomes a very rare QB to lead two different teams to Superbowl wins and would cement himself as a sure fire Hall of Fame guy.

Has any other QB ever done that? Going quickly from Memory, I can't think of anybody. (I apolagize for the spelling)
Starr
Namath
Dawson
(was Unitas with the Colts when they won Super Bowl 5?)
Staubach
Gressie
Bradshaw
Stabler
Plunkett
Montana
Thiesman
Williams
McMahn
Simms
Hostetler (I know terrible spelling)
Aikman
Young
Favre
Elway
Warner
Dilfer
Johnson
Brady
Rothlisberger
Peyton Manning
Eli Manning

Did I miss anybody?

[Sylvanfan]

I was trying to think of a QB who has and I can't think of anyone off hand either. I don't think theres been many guys lead two teams to the big game either. I can go back to Ken Anderson of the 81 Bengals and not find a losing QB who's lead a different team to the Superbowl. Anderson, Theisman, Marino, Grogan, Elway, Esiason, Kelly, Humphries, O'Donnel, Bledsoe, Farve, Chandler, McNair, Collins, Warner, Gannon, Delhomme, McNabb, Hasselback, Grossman, Brady. I n the 70's Tarkenton lost a lot of Superbowl's, Staubach lost a couple. I can't think of anyone who's even lead 2 teams to the Superbowl....have to be missing someone.

[burn_baby_burn]

I think the closest example of that would be the QB for the Broncos the year they lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the 70's. He and Staubach were rotated early on in the season the Cowboys won Super Bowl 6. Landry would rotate them drive by drive during the game. But he didn't start and maybe didn't even play in Super Bowl 6.

Rare indeed. The population of that club would be 1.

There is only 1 other QB that has led his team to 2 Superbowl appearances as a starter.

That would be Craig Morton with Dallas in 1970 and Denver in 1977. (Old #7 lost with Denver).

So Craig would have started Super Bowl 5 in the lose to Baltimore. He was the QB I was thinking of for Super Bowl 6 and 11.

[mykalberta]

I dont think this is worth its own thread, but what is good Superbowl food.

I am definately going to costco to pick up some wings, but I am wondering what else.

[Yeah_Baby]

Steelers because I refuse to admit that the Cardinals are in the Superbowl.
