Steelers no doubt,look at the easy schedule the Seahawks had.By the way AFC is the dominant division this year not NFC hahahah lol.I really don't care who wins this superbowl,because my team isn't there.All I am saying is any team that made it from the playoffs that is AFC would win the superbowl.
I'm rooting for the seahawks. Let the newbies win! Weak schedule or not,they still have a hell of a defense to go with their offense.
Yeah I want the Seahawks to win,but I think the Steelers will win.I was wondering how many commercials we will see if the Steelers win 0_o .It seems like everytime a team wins the superbowl they go what I call hollywood(make commercials,movies etc...).
I was watching a thing on the news the other night about the SuperBowl and they interviewed a guy who was scalping tickets. He said that he was selling tickets at $3000.00 EACH! Guess how many he has sold so far. 24 PAIRS! You do the math.
Who do u think is gonna get TO? just a question...i was thinkin Cowboys, becuz TO would wanna play agianst the EAGLES as many times as possible, meaning being in the same division....so im thinkin Cowboys or 'Skins. KC has a shot at him but im just wonderin what you guys think.
packman00: I thought I heard a buddy of mine a couple nights ago said that the Broncos were getting TO. He was all bummed out about how TO was going to tear apart the team like he did with the niners and eagles. His motto is: Give me da ball, Give me da ball, ME,ME,ME! LOL I say get rid of TO! Do a Maurice Clarett on his sorry ass!Send him to the European or Canadian football leagues.
I am rooting for the Steeler's......I would rather have the Eagles made it this year but they sucked this year.......They are my State's team too
Steelers Win Fifth Super Bowl Title 1 minute ago DETROIT - The Pittsburgh Steelers finally gave coach Bill Cowher some Super Bowl satisfaction. Moments after the Rolling Stones rocked a Ford Field filled with Terrible Towels, Willie Parker broke a record 75-yard touchdown run, sparking Pittsburgh's 21-10 victory Sunday over the Seattle Seahawks. ADVERTISEMENT Not only did the Steelers earn that elusive fifth championship ring and their first since 1980, but they completed a magic Bus ride that made Jerome Bettis' homecoming — and likely farewell — a success. And they provided sweet validation for Cowher with a title in his 14th season as their coach, the longest tenure in the NFL. As a sixth seed, no less. Maybe their inspiration came when Mick Jagger sang a rousing rendition of "Satisfaction" at halftime. They certainly got plenty of help from the Seahawks, too. Seattle was plagued by penalties, drops, poor clock management and a critical fourth-quarter interception of Matt Hasselbeck just when the NFC champions seemed ready to take the lead. Instead, Pittsburgh (15-5) got the clinching score with the kind of trickery that has carried it through an eight-game winning streak. Versatile wide receiver Antwaan Randle El, a quarterback in college, took a handoff from Parker, sprinted right and threw perfectly to Hines Ward for a 43-yard TD with 9:04 remaining. Bettis' role was minimal in what might be the final game for the NFL's No. 5 career rusher. So was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's impact — the most noteworthy play for the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl was a horrid pass that Kelly Herndon of the Seahawks (15-4) returned a record 76 yards. That set up the Seahawks' only touchdown, a 16-yard pass to Jerramy Stevens — Joey Porter, his verbal sparring partner all week, was nowhere in sight. But with Parker's burst and Seattle's self-destructive tendencies, the Steelers completed their postseason march through the league's top four teams.
Pittsburgh Steelers Win One for the Jaw By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports DETROIT - Finally, Bill Cowher won the big one, and in the hardest way possible. Not only did his Pittsburgh Steelers win one for the thumb, they won one for the Jaw. ADVERTISEMENT The Steelers' jut-jawed and oft-intense coach had made a career of losing championship games — five in all, four in AFC championship games in Pittsburgh since January 1995. But given the hardest road possible to an NFL championship after so many losses at home, his Steelers became the first team to win three road playoff games and then the Super Bowl by beating Seattle 21-10 on Sunday. It was the franchise's fifth Super Bowl title, the long elusive One for The Thumb they had sought since the days of Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris and Jack Lambert in January 1980. After the Steelers won it, Cowher began crying on the sideline. Turns out one of the NFL's toughest coaches can be a softie, too. Cowher's relief was apparent, too, and not only by his tears of joy. As he stood on the victory podium at midfield, he slapped hands, pumped his fists and raised his in triumph — a coach exonerated. Then he raised up the Lombardi Trophy high with one hand, but only after first handing it to Dan Rooney, the team owner. Cowher has long said his career-long goal has been to give that trophy to Rooney. "This is a special group of players, these guys are so deserving — I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, the players, the coaches and the city," Cowher said. Wearing their lucky white road uniforms even though they were designated as the home team, the Steelers finished off their unprecedented sweep of the top three seeded teams in the AFC and the top-seeded team in the NFC. And the coach who got so much grief for being outcoached twice in AFC title games by the Patriots' Bill Belichick, for not having his teams prepared or inspired for title games clearly did the best coaching job of his career under the toughest circumstances. Cowher did so by invoking such diverse figures as Christopher Columbus and Jerome Bettis, and by putting the ball squarely in the hands of his inexperienced second-year quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. That move clearly went against the Steelers' long-standing philosophy of winning by the run. Two months ago, when the Steelers were 7-5 and needed to win their final four regular-season games merely to get into the playoffs, Cowher stood up at a team meeting and told them that the journey looked hard and tough but could be done. He then cited Columbus' unknown journey to a new world in 1492, and how his players could chart a path never accomplished by an NFL team — a unique pep-talk blend of American history and NFL history. Intrigued, some players read up on Columbus, and some talked about "Winning one for Chris." Later, after the Steelers won those four and started their AFC playoff sweep of Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver, Cowher talked of how badly he wanted Bettis, one of the greatest running backs in NFL history to get back to his hometown of Detroit and win the Super Bowl. Bettis, as expected, announced his retirement during the Lombardi trophy presentation. Last month, Cowher's players began talking openly of winning a championship not just for The Bus, but for a coach who is No. 14 in NFL career victories but is one of the few on the list without a Super Bowl. Not now, he isn't. Cowher changed his personality in these playoffs, too, reflecting the Steelers' take-all-chances approach. The Steelers beat the Colts and Broncos by jumping into big early leads created by Roethlisberger's passing — a switch in tactics by a team that has run the ball more than any other in the NFL the last two seasons. "We're going to go as far as he takes us," Cowher said of what now, at age 23, is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. By letting Big Ben take him to a Super Bowl, Cowher no longer faces unenviable comparisons to Chuck Noll, his predecessor who won those four Super Bowls — the first one in the 1974 season by putting the ball in the hands of a young quarterback named Bradshaw. Just as Cowher told his players to learn from history, apparently he did, too. DETROIT - Talk about a mistake-filled Super Bowl. That's what the world saw Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers won their first title in 26 years by beating Seattle 21-10. ADVERTISEMENT Mistakes? To put it simply, the Steelers won because the Seahawks made more errors, far more. They included three dropped passes by tight end Jerramy Stevens, who spent last week as the party of the second part in a woofing match with Pittsburgh's Joey Porter. They also included a series of damaging penalties at the worst possible times, including a holding call on right tackle Sean Locklear after an 18-yard completion that would have given the Seahawks a first and goal at the Pittsburgh 1 early in the fourth period and a chance to go ahead 17-14. And those came after a first half in which Seattle lost 10 to 14 points because of mistakes. In fact, while Pittsburgh had two superbly executed long touchdowns — a Super Bowl record 75-yard touchdown run by Willie Parker and a 43-yard reverse pass from Antwaan Randle El to Hines Ward — this was a game Seattle lost as much as the Steelers won. Mistakes? The Seahawks were only in the game because Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger made a huge error of his own, underthrowing what should have been a TD pass to Cedrick Wilson in the third quarter. Instead, Kelly Herndon took the underthrown ball back 76 yards, leading to a Seattle touchdown that made it 14-10 when it should have been 21-3. Start with the first half, when the Seahawks controlled play but went off trailing 7-3. _Darrell Jackson was called for offensive pass interference for pushing off Chris Hope on what would have been a 16-yard completion from Matt Hasselbeck. The call was a little ticky-tacky, but it was a penalty. _A holding penalty on Chris Gray that negated an 18-yard completion from Hasselbeck to Jackson that would have given the Seahawks a first down at the Pittsburgh 23. _A 34-yard punt return by Peter Warrick to the Pittsburgh 46 was called back by a holding penalty on Etric Pruitt. Although to be fair, there's nothing unusual about a penalty on any punt or kick in any game? _Finally, some dubious clock management and play calling that forced Josh Brown into trying a 54-yard field goal late in the half. It was wide right, so the Steelers led 7-3 at intermission despite being outplayed for most of the half. But that only was a preface for the mistakes in the second half — the Roethlisberger interception, a couple of more Stevens drops, then finally, the decisive penalty on Locklear.
Great game, the first half looked a little flat, but the second was golden. Must have been Mick's halftime inspirational song.
