True. People love a close game, although the score did not really reflect the tone of the game. I thought the refs got involved a little too much. Some of those penalties, on both sides, were kind of cheap. Being that my team is the Patriots, I've had a rough year. Lame call costs the Super Bowl and then we crush the Cardinals and can't even get into the playoffs with an 11 - 5 record. Hard to take from an 8 - 8 team.

...if Warner doesn't throw an interception at the half, even if they only get a field goal...that's a 10 point swing and there is no final drive...it was a very entertaing game regardless...good offense and defense...and plenty of personal fouls for everyone!!!

I have to say that I watched this game under protest. I can't believe the Cardinals even got into the playoffs with the record they had. The Steelers played like crap and were lucky to pull it out. That score should have been 35 -14 or something like that. That's what happens when my boys get left out of the playoffs with an 11 -5 record after totally destroying the Cardinals 47 - 7 !
