Super Bowl XLIII/Arizona Cardinals Vs Pittsburgh Steelers : Clash of Titans
Well Sports Outlaw fans, the fantasy season is over but at Sports Outlaws the NFL season roars on. The Playoffs have been exciting and everyone here has caught the Playoff fever. If you don't believe me just read through the AFC and NFC Championship game threads that are still pinned at the top of the NFL forum. Stop by during the next two weeks and join the Super Bowl excitement! You will find injury info, coaching changes you name it we can't stop talking about the NFL and other sports too. We will be vbetting on the Super Bowl, college Basket Ball, you name it. We have a contest to win vbucks from our King of The Vbets, Da_Bomb. This contest is unique in that you can step in at anytime and string some correct predictions in a row and take Da_Bombs vbucks from him during the offseason!
The end of the season was one of the most exciting I can remember. Teams fought until the last weekend to make their unlikely exit or unlikely entrance to the Playoffs. It didn't get more exciting than that, or so I thought. The Playoffs have been wild and wacky, a roller coaster ride of new faces and new teams. We have had two Rookie QBs lead there teams into the playoffs. We had teams that came from the very bowels of despair the year before and make the Playoff cut. We had teams we have come to think of as Playoff teams come up just short at the last week. The Playoffs unfolded in some great games, almost every game was hotly contested and totally exciting. There was a couple of Playoff blowouts but those were exciting games because it was the underdogs that did the asskicking in those games. We were witness to some of the most exciting playoff action I can remember and I have enjoyed the ride totally.
But This is Super Bowl Time ! ! !
It will truly be a Clash of Titans when Arizona Cardinals meet the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII. That sounds vaugly familiar, but I like it! This Super Bowl is a great matchup of an Offensive Titan and a Defensive Titan. It is a matchup that fans should readily embrace as it will put opposing forces in a direct head to head battle of teams that took different styles to get to the same goal, The Super Bowl.
The Cardinals D going into this year had a lot of talent and played well in a finesse sort of style. Keeping the big plays down while letting the offense handle all the major chores. Presto, The Playoffs come around and suddenly they have done a 180 degree shift. This Playoff Cardinals D has become a smash mouth aggressive Defense that has been taking the game right to their opponents and pushing them constantly into mistake after mistake. Alright, who are these guys and what have they done with the other Cardinals D? They have become a pressing powerful D right before our eyes, don't take your eyes off of these guys or you will lose the ball !
The Steeler Defense is the best Defense in football today, Period! If you don't believe it they just proved it by beating the second best Defensive team for the third time this year in the AFC Championship Game. The Steeler Defense will not only smother you they will also beat you to a pulp in the process of of just making your O look bad. It is said that Defenses win Championships, The Steelers Defense just proved that Defenses win AFC Championships. Super Bowl anyone?
This will be a great game to watch. The Cardinals D has become an intense unit and their rushing attack has appeared out of nowhere to become a playoff force to be respected and game planned for, whoda thunk it? Then you have Kurt Warner who was thought to be heading over the hill, so to speak. Yet Warner apparently has stepped into a Wayback machine and came out playing as good as his last Super Bowl appearance. Add to that we have Warner throwing to Superman himself in Larry Fitzgerald, how spectacular is that? Fitz has been on fire during these Playoffs making incredible catches every time you turn around. Fitz has set a new playoff record for yardage with 419 yards and has a whole Super Bowl Game to go! Every catch will be a new playoff record. That will be worth the price of admission alone! While Kurt is the king of Offense The Steelers have in QB Ben Rothlisberger the King Of the Comebacks. Ben Has been beat up, injured but if he is on the field he is double tough and always dangerous. His last couple of games he has had an amazing ability to see plays develop as he is scrambling around and make the connection in stride. Willie Parker is healthy and fast again. If you want something interesting to watch keep an eye on the Steeler WRs when they don’t have the ball. They all block well downfield and are constantly springing other players for big gains. This Steeler O is a machine that can explode for a big play at any moment of the game.
Don’t you dare miss this Super Bowl, for that matter, you should join us in this Super Bowl Game thread for the fun.
