Wow, that many people really think the Cards will win, or do you just hate the Steelers that much? I will be pulling hard for AZ for obvious reasons but not the most confident. Ben could be a tough matchup for that AZ defense and with the Steelers defense, who knows what AZ's offense will be able to match.
Reasons to be confident:
- Whisenhunt is a great coach and knows the Steelers pretty good as evidenced by their meeting last year. AZ has a considerable edge in coaching IMO.
- Warner is a proven winner, he may get rattled at times but he's not Mcnabb who probably would have folded against this defense in a big spot. I really hope Boldin is 1. Healthy and 2. Over whatever happened yesterday and won't be a selfish putz on super sunday. Fitz is a tough matchup for any corner and the Steelers do not have elite CBs.
- Hines Ward's injury if serious leaves Pitt's offense pretty limited. Once he got injured in the AFCC the Steelers had the fluke play to Holmes, a FG drive, and that was about it.
- AZ's front 7 is a troublesome matchup for Pitt's subpar Oline.
