Default Re: ###OFFICIAL SUPERBOWL XL THREAD###

After thinking about the game itself more here are my thoughts:
1. Seattle pretty much dominated in small plays, especially in the first half, but got dominated in big plays.
2. Seattle big guys on both sides were better than I expected against Pittsburgh. Polamalu was handled extremely well in particular, and the defense did completely shut down the run.
3. Roethlisberger played better than people give him credit for. His stats are terrible. His second interception is the worst pass I've ever seen him make. However, he did really well scrambling and at least didn't panic and kept it together (ie didn't pull a Maddox) toward the end despite having a bad passing day. He also threw a perfect TD pass to Ward who dropped it.
4. where was Heath Miller? Now that I think about it, where was Randle El? I don't remember any passes to either of these guys.
5. calls weren't nearly as bad as people here are saying. I made more comments about this in the ref thread.
