The Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals will meet in Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida to decide the NFL Championship. Championship Sunday was a good one and my picks leveled at 1-1. Here are my random thoughts on the Conference Championship games...
1) The Arizona Cardinals are in the Super Bowl. I can't believe I am saying that.
2) If Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Edge James, and Adrian Wilson were all on other teams and not the Cards, they would have get way more publicity than they do now.
3) Arizona is fun to watch. They score a lot of points and their games are like track meets. More people would like watching them if they simply weren't the ARIZONA CARDINALS!!!
4) This might have been the last shot for Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb to win a Super Bowl together. They are now 1-4 in NFC Title Games. That will haunt both of their careers.
5) When Desean Jackson scored to give Philly the 25-24 lead, I thought Philly would win and this was their year.
6) Eagle fans will be replaying Kevin Curtis' drop and non-pass interference call all offseason.
7) Arizona proved you just have to get in the playoffs and anything can happen.
8) If Philly won the game, it would have been one of the greatest comebacks ever in any sport.
9) The 2008 NFC Championship was one of the most exciting games in NFC Title history.
10) I think Warner is a Hall of Famer. He is 8-2 in the playoffs.
11)The Steelers dominated this game and should have won by more than nine points.
12)The Ravens, John Harbaugh, and Joe Flacco had a great year, and they should keep their chins up after this game.
13) Big Ben is a great player and he is establishing a great career for himself.
14) Dan Rooney made another great choice is hiring Mike Tomlin. He is a very good coach.
15)This was another hard hitting and violent football game. The Ravens had two of these types of games in the last two weeks.
16) I never felt that Pittsburgh was going to lose at all at anytime during the entire game.
17) The Ravens should have ran the ball more in the first half, and Pittsburgh got too conservative in the second half.
18) Troy Polumalu's clinching "Pick Six" was the coolest way that the Steelers could have clinched the game. The crowd's reaction when he picked it off was awesome.
19) The Steelers definitely had an advantage the last two games at home. It is nice to see home field advantage work out for a team.
20) The Steelers road to the Super Bowl was aided by the following: One, they didn't have to face Indy again. Two, the Pats lost Tom Brady in Week One and failed to make the playoffs this year despite going 11-5. Three, San Diego's bad start allowed Pittsburgh to host them in the playoffs. Four, Tennessee got knocked out in the Divisional Round by the Ravens, and lastly, they were a number 2 seed and were able to host two playoff games. Overall, the Steelers are a very good team and a worthy AFC representative.
THIS WEEK'S RECORD: 1-1
OVERALL PLAYOFF RECORD: 5-5
