Watched the last Super Bowl last night on the NFL Network. What an incredible game! Can't believe all the huge plays the players made! To have Ben come back from a 9 point turnaround and losing the lead late in the 4th quarter (which was very disgusting and disheartening, especially since the safety should have been a 15 yd 1st down). Ben simply went back to work with 2:37 left on the clock, evading rusher on 3 to 4 occasions during that final drive. What a great game!!!

Yeah, I watched a bit of of the game last night as well.

What struck me is how the Steelers couldn't score from inside the ten with 8 tries. The first set ended with a running into the holder penalty against the Cards that created a new set of downs. Despite that, on the second set, it ended with the Steelers trying a QB draw. Reed ended up kicking a FG.

Thank goodness they pulled this out. If they would have lost, two things come to mind:

1. How Tricky Dickie's D melted down towards the end of the game. This has created a bit of a blueprint for how teams can attach the D.

2. How Air Nut couldn't get it into the end zone from 10-yards out on 8 tries. Pathetic. The O line performance was putrid at best.

Now, I know they did what they had to do to win the game. I just wish they would win a few without me having to drink a case of Maalox so I can watch it.

My brother and I were talking about the show last night, definitely prepares us to start this season.
On the interception return:
Tomlin getting out of bed a couple days before to make the interception clip tape to show the defense how to block for an interception return was a little scary.
