Super Call

Steelers 23, Cardinals 20.

Ways Cardinals can win:
Warner is perfect and the Steelers can't decide who to cover, Bolden, Fitzgerald, or Breaston.
The running game is somehow unstoppable and the Steelers defense is too tired to cover the afforementioned receivers.
Due to the after effects of 3 concussions, Big Ben thinks the Steelers are wearing red.
Hines Ward's hamstring falls off and three Steelers defensive starters can't play due to projectile vomiting.
After a mediocre first half, the Steelers' coaching staff elects to start Byron Leftwich for the second half and sticks with him after 4 interceptions.

Ways Steelers can win:
Warner is less-than-stellar and turns the ball over to the tune of 14 Steelers points.
The Cardinals decide a defensive gameplan is a waste of time, even though it's how they won the first two games.
Larry Fitzgerald is kidnapped by rabid Steelers fans, a la "Celtic Pride."
The officials are all Seahawks fans still pissed about three years ago.

Seriously it will come down to turnovers and special teams, it always has, it always will.

Great call on the game. I thought (as many did) the Cardinals would pull it off in the end. The defense just couldn't hold out. Warner did all he could, what are his hall of fame chances? If he has another year or two of making the playoffs as a starter? Let me know what you think.
