i thought the cardinals was going to win but Cardinals defense is not good.

Steelers defense got tired at the end

same with the cardinals but cmon they let Santonio Holmes get 4-5 catches consectively

there was a 3-man coverage around him and he still caught the ball

it shows that he takes ballet

1.At the end of the 2nd half, Harrison was not in the endzone from what i saw. he was maybe on the 1/2 yard line.
the difference it would have made: score is 10-7 at halftime instead of 17-7.

2. The end of the game, the cardinals very last play. that was in no way a fumble. his arm was clearly going forward. the ball even bounces off his arm, which shows his arm was going forward.
difference it would have made: Cardinals have one last play to throw 40 yards in endzone to probably Fitzgerald, how cool would that have been? and i am REALLY angry the NFL did not challenge that. how can you not even challenge to see if his arm was or wasnt going forward. RIDICULOUS.

3. The punt the Cardinals did that landed the steelers on the 1 yard line. now maybe i dont know this rule, but that personal foul was before the play ended. And Harrison is a dick for doing it.
differnece: although the cardinals dont get the safety, they would have gotten an automatic first down somewhere in steelers territory.

maybe the result would have been the same, but still it would have been a totally different game.

You need to sit back take a breath.

1. Harrisson was in the end zone. The ball crossed the plane, not to mention that he was laying on top the opponent and there wasnt a whistle till he reached the end zone.

2. You need to watch that play again. The ball came lose when his arm was going back. He did attempt to throw the ball, but it was after it came loose that his arm started forward.

3. When the personal foul happened, it was after change of possession. Once opposing team has control of the ball its post possession...

With that said. Personally I thought Big Ben scored on the opening drive, but it wasnt seen that way. All in all a great Superbowl Refs called the game accordingly and unfortunately there always has to be a loser

I watched half of this...I didn't have a clue what was going on...
I love the whole patriotic stuff before the game kicked off...with the anthem and all that stuff...ahhh GOD BLESS AMERICA...

I totally disagree.. there were no bad calls. harrison accidently punched a guy who chopped blocked him, so not throwing him out was a good call.
