That was wrong. Seriously? The Cardinals played a better game than the Steelers did. Steelers ARE the better team in my opinion but they were outplayed on thisday and it's a shame that the referees in such an important game show such favoritism towards one team. Larry Fitzgerald has elevated his game from a greatreceiver to the BEST receiver in the NFL. Hands down. He's had the greatest postseason of any wide receiver in NFL history. The Steelers have to be theluckiest team in the league. Sometimes you need luck to win but they get it OD. They were extremely lucky not to have played the Titans in the AFC Championshipgame and to win this game is just ridiculous. They were extremely fortunate a few years back against the Seahawks when the referees were also bias. TheSteelers are the NFL's version of the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs aren't ever really a truly dominant team but they win championships when, for lackof a better term, there isn't anyone else to win them.
With all this said, the better team did win today but is that always what determines champions? No. The Patriots were obviously a better team than the Giantswere last year. Did the Steelers deserve to win? I don't think so. For the most popular league in this country, a league that considers parity one ofit's strong suits, it is truly a shame that the scales in a game of this magnitude are tipped so greatly in one direction. These playoffs, to me anyway,will be remembered by the bad calls made. The ghost pass interference in overtime in the Chargers-Colts game, the non existent delay of game penalty inTennessee, and all the terrible calls made in the Super Bowl (among others). I love the NFL but the league needs to take a deep look into their officiating.
Steelers fans, enjoy your tainted Lombardi trophies.
SMH.
P.S.- I hope to hear no more talk about whether Kurt Warner is a hall of famer or not. As a bitter fan of a team who lost to Kurt Warner in Super Bowl XXXIV-There should be no more debate. He did what he needed to do to win this game.
