Yeah, I thought it was pretty bad, as well. Usually they don't call many penalties in the Super Bowl. Arizona was getting called for everything in the first half.
Lol Big Frame. I will admit though, the Cardinals got some bad calls. The roughing the passer was bad, and the roughing the holder was wtf, that one didn't hurt them though. The last play not being reviewed surprised me.
I really enjoyed the game....awesome last four minutes. We actually had a couple players and three cheerleader (Raiderettes) watch the game with us on our deployment! I sat at the Table next to Sammy Morris, Josh Wilson and Big Willie Roaf (11 time ProBowler) they were mad cool (playing bones most of the night). Willie and I were screaming our asses off for the Steelers....lol...We we're yelling and talkin' shit about Holmes....All day, baby!!! Just give it to Holmes....lol...it was fun as hell
If the O-lineman is engaged with a player, no one can come and block below the waist as a second blocker. If he went low after the Lineman is done with him, then it is legal. It happens more with 2 lineman
just saying...it is a rare call. there were quite a few big game changing calls. the cards actually were in a position to win, which was amazing, but... the game came down to the cards inability to stop the steelers on the last drive. period.
it reminded me exactly of the pats/giants game from last year. pats take a 3 point lead with a couple minutes to go, giants come all the way down the field converting 3rd downs the whole way, to score a touchdown to go up by 4 with 30 something seconds left. and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
I concur with you; no excuses for the team loss, the Cards gave it up at the end with Pitt pinned well deep.
