The View From Wisconsin

Just a random set of rants from a Sports Fan from Wisconsin.

Super 43 - The Last Waltz

Half a quarter to go, and the Steelers have it at their own 24 on the runback.

Parker for a few.
Ben's buried at the 18. Dockett sacks Roethlisberger. Are the Cards wearing the Steelers out?
3rd and long - time for a penalty here, I'd guess. (/fatalism)
All the time in the world, 10 yard gain - but no first. Punting time. Cards are going to get the ball back one more time.
Punt dies at the Cards 25. 75 yards to get back into this game.

Cards with their season on the line and 75 yards to win the game?

Things are looking bad. Gotta get the touch here.
Boldin for 11 and out of bounds - and a unsportsmanlike (probably on the Cards, way things have gone.) Wow, it's on the Steelers! Another 10 tacked on. First penalty for the Steelers in the second half.
Arrington up the middle. No huddle, four wide.
And Breaston on a cut over the middle for 22. "Prevent Defenses just 'prevent' the win," isn't that the saying?
Of course, they have to call the Cards for another penalty. What is that now, 104 yards?
Warner nearly has it picked off on pass to Boldin. That would have been bad.
Incomplete, third and 20. Don't make it here, you have to go for it with under 3 and a half to go.
Hit while throwing and incomplete. Kick? Field Goal? Nope, punt.
Dropped on the one - but an penalty AGAIN. Unnecessary roughness - and the Steelers are pinned at the half-yard line. Harrison - there was NO NEED to throw that punch.

Steelers lining up in the end zone.

Incomplete pass as Roethlisberger is rushed in the end zone. 2nd and all of Raymond James in front of them.
STOPPED... Okay, entire ball has to be in the end zone for the safety. I'm not sure... Whisenhunt? Arizona Time out... are they going to look at it and challenge?
Third and long.... And HOLMES CATCHES IT FOR THE FIRST. Good night Irene.
Oh wait - HOLDING in the End zone for a SAFETY!

Safety!
