I feel bad for the Cardinals and their fans

Even though they beat us, it would have been nice to have said at least we got beat by the champs.

We all know how their fans feel right now...to come so close to a Superbowl Championship only to have it slip away in the final seconds. My heart goes out to them. Only respect for the Cardinals.

Steelers...play like thugs. No respect for them. Tomlin didn't even give them any credit for a game well played, but found time to thank BARACK OBAMA? Puhleaaaase. No class at all.

The Cardinals deserved this game. The refs were pretty fair in a game where penalties were crucial, but there were some iffy personal foul calls on the Cardinals, and J-Harrison SHOULD have been thrown out as Madden pointed out. He was just brutalizing that guy. The last play should have been reviewed (looked like an incomplete pass to me), and that TD catch by Holmes was VERY close. It was odd how they did not review that catch for very long if at all. In the end the crucial mistake by Warner throwing that pick in the endzone turned out to be the backbreaker which I thought it would be at the time. With a chance to take the lead right before halftime, that was a critical mistake. But congrats to the Steelers. They won the game fair and square.

My take on the Superbowl.

Although I wasn't watching the game I was getting regular updates and when I heard the score going into the 4th qtr I thought the Cards had played one game to many.

To their credit they didn't buckle and came home with a wet sail only for the Steelers to pip them.

Yes it sucks to lose but thats football. They, the Cards got beaten by a champian team and theres no disgrace in that

i will never understand the logic "im rooting for the team that beat us to say we lost to the champs"

why would i want the team that took my team out to have more joy in winning a championship?? i dont.

and did tomlin thank obama? i thought that was mr rooney.

I feel EXCITED for the STEELERS!!!

They did what no other playoff team before them did.

They figured out that Larry Fitzgearld was playing and it might Beehoove them to cover him .

Unlike the other defenses in playoffs .

Would you have felt SORRY for Cards if Panthers had covered FITZ and beat CARDS ?

I don't think so !

I am very happy that the team that I have rooted for since boyhood won, I will admit. That being said, I would have been rooting for the Panthers if they had been in Tampa last night, and I would not have even felt "sad" for the then five-time championship Pittsburgh Steelers if we had won it all because I would have been too ecstatic as a Panthers fan.

How can you feel sadness for the Cards when they gave the Panthers arguably their worse beating in franchise history?

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
