SuperBoring

Sorry I'm a little late with my super bowl post, i was in a coma. Seriously, I think people are blowing this a little bit out of proportion. Some are saying one of the best Super bowls ever. Is this some kind of joke. I found that far from the best. Now, if you told me it was one of the best 4th quarters, then yes, I'd have to agree with you. It was a very good, maybe even great, 4th quarter. Hell, you can even say it was the best last minute of a half when Harrison returned that interception 100 yards. That was a great play, but the game as a whole? No way. That being said, I was still surprised because I thought it was going to be a really bad game and it turned out to be not as bad as I though (doesn't make it good though). Arizona played as though they were just happy to be there for a large portion of the game and with the exception of some instances, like the first drive, Pittsburgh seemed a little tentative. Ben Roethlisberger didn't have that good of a game in my opinion either. If it wasn't for that 4th quarter, he would've had another horrible game and people would be questioning him yet again. I know it's whether he won the game, which is true, but don't anoint him as the second coming then either. He made some really good plays with his feet but statistic wise, not so good. That being said, he gets the job done and I'd rather have him on my team than Peyton Manning. Yes, I said it. Ben gets the job done in big games and Peyton really doesn't. Sure he has a Super Bowl but think back to how many big games he lost in the years before that and now that Dungy is gone, I kind of expect it to go back to how it was, with Peyton choking in big games.
