Cardinals or Steelers? ?

The Cards have several edges in this game, not only was Whisenhunt the Steelers tight end coach from 2001-2003 and offensive coordinator from 2004-2006, but Russ Grimm was the Steeler assistant head coach/offensive line coach, Mike Miller the receivers coach , Matt Raich a defensive assistant and Kevin Spencer the Special Teams coach. Talk about knowing your enemy. They know the strengths and weaknesses of alot of the Steeler players. Of course Tomlin knows this, but even so, it's making a Cardinal bet looking mighty good. Whisenhunt should be able to get in Roethlisberger's head to devise a scheme to minimize Hines Ward's impact (assuming he's able to play at 100%).

Consider this: Pittsburgh has played 2 of the top 7 passing teams this season in Indy and Houston and given up an average of over 20 points per game. Both were home games for Pittsburgh where their defense is off the charts, and more importantly, Arizona passes for close to 30 pts per game more than either. For these reasons, i'm leaning on the CARDs to pull it off.

PREDICTION: CARDINALS with the points and the OVER, score: Cardinals 31-Steelers 24. , MVP: Warner

I have to go with the cardinals. As long as i have been watching football the cardinals have always been on the loosing end. They are the first real cinderella team and after all their misfortune of victory they really deserve this victory

Cardinals.


Coach Whisenhunt and Coach Grimm know everything about Rothlisberger. His strengths, weaknesses, tendencies. Plus their 3rd string QB backed up Big Ben. So he has been able to mimic him in practice. There is nothing he can or will do that they haven't seen.

Plus he knows the Defensive Coordinator for the Steelers, Dick Lebeau. Grimm and the Whiz went all out against him every week in practice for three years. Again, they know him like a book. And nothing ever changes with Lebeau. He has been running basically the same plays for 30 years.

Plus the Steelers strength offensively is the running game. If the Cards can get out to a quick lead like they have done throughout the Playoffs, the Steelers will have a hard time catching up. Their line gives up an average of 3 sacks per game. And the Cards D-Line has been leading the league in forced turnovers. Not a good combination.

The only chance the Steelers have is to get to Warner early and often.

Cards 21-18.

I belive the steelers will win. I will think they will be a sure lock if the refs can call holding on the cardnials watch the eagles game. And Harrison,Woodley,Farrior and Larry Foote will destroy warner. Also people are saying about Wissenhunt and Grimm. They are leving out 1 key detail EVERY ONE ON THE STEELERS HAVE SEEN HIS OFFENCE AND LINE. Also about Fitzgerald well he didn't play dick labos defence or against troy polamalu and ryan clark and we have film of him from pittsburgh. need I go on?

offense wins games defense wins championships

so the steelers will win all the have to do is cover fitzjerald and they will win because cardinals defense isnt that good

plus kurt warner cant move too much in the pocket so hell be getting sacked a couple of times

willi parker will have a good day with at least 120 yards

i dont think the cardinals will score too much (if they do score)
if the steelers defense plays like it has been playing they should win with no problems

Steelers - cardinals were having a lucky yr that's all and tomorrow will prove it

GO STEELERS

Steelers.
They're Defense is beast. And it doesn't matter how good Fitzgerald is, because the Defense is gonna kill Warner and make him throw pick after pick. And, I have a good feeling about Big Ben and the Steelers offense.

Steelers, because Steelers won the five Super Bowl titles. They played very good.

Don't care, not watching anyway.
