Have they shown the GI Joe movie trailler on CTV? That looks AWESOME!
Yeah double-covered, but they are absolutely getting nothing else done. Just giving the ball back to the Steelers to take time off the clock.

They need to help out the left tackle gandy hes getting beat like he stole something on every play. Put a TE on him to help him out.

Warner has also been very innacurate.

Breaston and Boldin and Hightower and whatever other offense they have is all fine and dandy, but with the freaking Superbowl on the line, you think you'd go to the guy who makes the huge plays.

It just doesn't make much sense to me. He can fight through the defense; that's what makes him such a great player.

The Steelers have taken him away. Other than throwing it up and praying what are they going to do to get it to him? You're not giving the defense enough credit here.

I knew Tomlin was young, but he's only 36? Wow.

I think down by 13 at this point in the game, they need to take that chance at least to try and get some momentum.

I think the Arizona offense is out of ideas. No gameplan at all. Looks like they took a 2 week vacation.

Well, they have no running game, and haven't all season, to keep the defense honest. They surprised Carolina that one game, but there are no surprises in 2 weeks of preperation for the Superbowl....and its the Steelers run defense.

They've also seized momentum by taking advantage of turnovers in all their playoff games and waiting for their opponent to shoot themselves in the foot...and throwing up prayers to Fitzgerald who's come up with the majority of them the last 3 weeks, to gain momentum.

This is basically the regular season unspectacular Cardinals, with an extra couple penalties and a game breaking turnover at the end of the half.

there is a reason why the steelers have the best defense in the league.

Man, it's like the coaches just realized they have a QB who can throw the ball and don't need to get it to James for 2/3 plays.

Well, for all of those complaining about not getting the U.S. feeds, the commercials have been pretty forgettable.
