The Long Overdue Power Zone Superbowl Postgame
Super Bowl XLIII was an epic Super Bowl.
Back and fourth with lots of scoring from both teams.
Here's my long overdue analysis:
DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE GAME: Without a doubt, the 100 yard interception return for a touchdown by James Harrison. Harrison showed why he was the NFL's defensive player of the year.
BIG BEN PLAYED MUCH BETTER HIS SECOND TIME AROUND
In Super Bowl XL, Big Ben was only playing not to lose. He played with poise and looked nearly flawless this second time around.
which leads me to...
SANTONIO HOLMES DESERVED HIS SUPER BOWL MVP AWARD
I have always felt that NFL Wide Recievers would be excellent tap dancers. After watching Santonio Holmes tap both feet down to haul in the game winning touchdown pass, I now believe that more than ever.
Back to the game, Holmes stepped up his game, and he had to. Particularly since Hines Ward was not 100 percent for this Super Bowl.
Two more points.
THE KURT WARNER FUMBLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED
Without a doubt, the Kurt Warner "fumble" should have been reviewed. Forget the fact that I think his arm was moving forward as he got hit, the fact is that the Cardinals deserved one last shot to try to end the misery of their organization and their fans.
THE 2008 STEELERS ARE ONE OF THE NFL'S ALL TIME GREATEST TEAMS
I say this for more reasons than this ballclub just won an NFL record Sixth Super Bowl, but beacuse this group had played the NFL's toughest schedule, and they are holding the Lombardi Trophy. They were top notch in Offense, Defense, and Special Teams, and that starts with the head coach, Mike Tomlin.Mike Tomlin knows his stuff, and he has the Lombardi Trophy to prove it. I think in the future, Ben Rothelisberger will be mentioned in the same sentence as Terry Bradshaw. Why Not? He's already halfway to where Bradshaw is in terms of Super Bowl wins.
This Steelers team can only add to their legacy, especially if they repeat as Champions next season.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS: SUPER BOWL XLIII WORLD CHAMPIONS!
