02/08/2006: "Steelers are XL Champions!"
Big Ben has done it! In only his second year in the pro's, which would have been his first year out of college (had he graduated), he took his team to the big game and won it. Now, it is true he had the worst QB rating of any winning QB, but hey...they still won regardless. I don't need to go into why it was the worst Super Bowl ever because everyone knows it was, but that really doesn't matter when you think of it. Us Steelers fans don't care how they get it done, just that we allowed Bettis to go down in a blaze of glory in his hometown, and that we won the Super Bowl. There would have been a lot of pissed off people in Detroit had they lost, so for the sake of the country, thank the refs for the offensive interference call on the Seahawks and that touchdown by Ben.
The Seahawks played fairly well except for dropping the ball like every 2 plays. They did catch a lot of passes and moved the ball enough. The funny thing is that after the Super Bowl, no one thinks about anything specific about the plays of the Seahawks, just that touchdown they thought they should have had. Now think about the plays of the Steelers. Good plays were very few and far between, but when you think of Super Bowl XL plays, you think of 3 total: 1)Reverse WR pass to Hines for the TD (totally awesome, I was floored), 2)Ben's rushing TD (he looks more and more like Elway each game) 3)Parker's 75 yard rushing TD. The Seahawks may have had more consistent plays for yards, but it was the awesome Steelers who had the big plays, the memorable ones that have already gone down in history. Oh yeah, we should also forget about the pick the Seahawks had for the longest interception return. No one cares about that.
