NFL 2008

Arizona's on a roll and Ben will screw the pooch. Plus I heard he banged his ribs up against the Ravens.

Arizona 37

Steelers 14

Is Big Ben ever completely healthy? He had a spinal concussion or something and still played two weeks later, he'll be fine.

Well the Steelers already won the Super Bowl (AFC Championship Game), so obviously they'll win this little game in Tampa.

Pittsburgh - 31

Arizona - 17

Defense > Offense 100% of the time

Big Ben has kept his cool so far, looked great in the last game, he'll show up on form tomorrow. Steelers to win, about damn time too, cant wait for this game

[alldaws1]

About damn time? They won it three years ago and if they win this they'll have won it the most in NFL history, they've not exactly been starved of success.

And the Pats weren't on a roll last year? The Steelers aren't on one?

If you're in the Super Bowl, you're on a roll.

I mean I hope you're correct, but really, you can't exactly claim the Steelers aren't on a roll themselves.

What I ment was that Arizona was never supposed to make it past the wildcard game.

They had won the division (A weak one at that) and had to face an 11-6 Atlanta and they beat them, It was close, But they ran and passed well and it got them the win.

They then played Carolina who looked dominant all season, But the defense stepped up and crushed Delhomme, Making him throw 5 interceptions and making him fumble and then the offense did what It did and they blew em out.

Then they played Philly who came off the back of beating the New York Giants, Who won the superbowl last year and blew them out too in the first half, Philly came back to take the lead, But Arizona showed they could handle it and went on to win the game.

Now Pittsburgh on the other hand.

They played San Diego who had to go to OT to beat Indy and granted they did a good job of beating them, The Changers did put 24 points up on them, Proving that their defense is beatable, But the Chargers wasn't going to beat The Steelers unless they choked and they didn't.

Then they played the Ravens, Who beat Miami and Tennessee and to be honest I fell asleep during it, Maybe if McGee didn't get knocked out it would have been different.

What I'm trying to say is that Arizona has played 3 teams who was expected to beat them and yet there still going to the Superbowl and that Pittsburgh as played 2 teams that they done away with easily, Arizona are on a roll in that regards and they could be very dangerous, Everyone is expecting Pittsburgh to win and that could cost them the silverware.

I'm just sayin.

[Edit] Shit, Re-Reading that, It sounds like crap, My bad, I was in a rush.

I'd like Arizona to win.

I think Pittsburgh will win though.

True, but they should win it every year, so shush

This is how I feel. I think Arizona have a chance. The game pretty much depends on if Big Ben turns up or not. Plus I heard during the week that a couple of the Steelers WR are banged up?

[sahyder1]

I am going to go completely against what I said in the prop bets thread and say Arizona wins 24-21.

[TheArsenal]

I don't know what the score will be... but I'm supporting Cardinals today. In part because I don't want Big Ben to get more rings than Eli.

Plus I've heard some really nice things about Kurt Warner being a nice guy - and he used to be a Giant.

hearts says Cards

logic and mind says Steelers

[TheArsenal]

Pittburgh hit a 38 yard pass on the second play of the game and Hines Ward's knee is looking good.

[Slogger]

And Arizona throw a challange flag on the Big Ben TD run.

AND IT'S REVERSED!

Absolutey SUPERB challenge!!

[Slogger]

Yeah, I thought it was a stupid challenge after looking at the first replay, I guess that's why I'm not an NFL head coach.

I did until I saw the third replay, and then you could see the knee was down and the ball was just short. It was all about the angle you saw it from.

Shame about Cards first drive. Without that holding they might have got somewhere.

DAMN!! Steelers nearly had the TD, but SUPERB recovery from the Corner to get back and knock that away. Shame he couldn't get the INT.

[Slogger]

COME ON CARDS

Let's Ben gets away and hits the first down, SHIT!

[Meacon Keaton]

This game has started just as I expected. This could get really bad, really quickly.

[naiwf]

This is starting to reek of a blowout. Ugh.
