My thoughts of the super bowl:

1. lots of penalties.
2. commercials were not like years before.
3. half time show with the boss, boring.
4. overall, the game itself was good.
————————————————————-

WHEN THE CARDINALS HAVE THE BALL:
1. Give Warner a chance: It doesn’t change from game-to-game – if the Cards can protect Kurt Warner a moment, he’ll find ways to complete passes.
2. Don’t turn it over: The Cards can’t give a Steelers’ offense, which isn’t all that explosive, short fields by giving the ball away.
3. Score early: The Cards have built early leads in each of their playoff games. They are simply a better team playing from ahead.

WHEN THE STEELERS HAVE THE BALL:
1. Limit Parker: The Cards cannot let RB Willie Parker rip them up – just ask the Seahawks from Super Bowl XL.
2. Bring Big Ben down: Roethlisberger has great “escapability,” and the Cards have to be able to tackle him when they have a chance.
3. Exploit the offensive line: The Steelers’ line isn’t great – the Cards’ defensive line has to continue to play at its high playoff level.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR SUNDAY
With a win, the Cardinals would be the fifth straight Super Bowl winner that played on Wild-Card weekend. … With a win, the Cards would win their fifth straight game, which would be their longest winning streak in a single season since they won six straight in the 1977 campaign. … The Cardinals are attempting to out-rush their opponent for a fifth straight game. … WR Larry Fitzgerald is trying to extend his already-NFL record of 419 receiving yards in the postseason. … Fitzgerald is trying to become the first receiver in NFL history with four straight 100-yard games in the playoffs. … Assistant head coach Russ Grimm is attempting to win his fifth Super Bowl ring – three as a player with the Redskins, one as an assistant coach with the Steelers. … With a win, QB Kurt Warner would become the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. … Warner is attempting to get his ninth win in the playoffs (he is 8-2). … The Steelers are attempting to win an NFL-record sixth Super Bowl title. source.
