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?

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
