So that's what it is like to stop the Steelers on 4th down.

I'm not sure we ever had them in a 4th down situation when they drove the field in the SB. Usually, if you do stop the Stealers, the zebra's step in on their behalf anyways!

I was amazed the NFL didn't try to find a way to make sure the Steelers won. Like the phantom facemask call, I was positive there would be more.

Unlike Arizona, GB actually gets respect from the refs. I knew there wouldn't be any officiating controversy in a game where both teams have a big fan base.

I was waiting the late flag for PI on that last pass. Nice job by the ref not to call it.

Also, unlike Arizona, GB didn't have Aaron Francisco trying to cover Santonio Holmes :(.

GB's secondary was decimated. Losing two starters. For us it was not meant to be. Perfect throw and catch.

Still not completely convinced that Holmes had that right foot dragged down WHILE catching the ball. It looked like it came up off the turf when he made that catch, as the ball arrived.

DRC was "on" Holmes. He blew the coverage. Francisco came over to try and cover for him.

He didn't blow the coverage either. He was in a zone. Holmes found the hole in the zone.

That was a moronic decision by Roethlinsberger. Williams was the only real corner left. JArret Bush is the worst CB in the league and Pat Lee was his back up.

Steelers met up with the one team that has more NFL history behind them than they do.

Considering how many championships GB really has.

12 now 13, we have two, "Don't tell Pottsville I said that"
