88Comrade2000 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I don't sense a real sense of excitement for this matchup. Seattle arrives today and Pittsburgh tommorrow. Sure on sunday the day will be party but I don't sense the same excitement. Most superbowls have had the 2 weeks break; so it's not just the 2 week break thing.

Fanatic684 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I think the problem is the players. There's a lack of recognizable "stars" in the game. There's no Peyton Manning or Tom Brady type that makes the match up easier to hype for the media. And even the great players that are in the game, like MVP Shaun Alexander, are probably not easily identified by the casual fan. Rothlisberger, Hasselback are both two of the better quarterbacks in the game, but still not as familiar. There's Jerome Bettis of course, and I think the media will try and squeeze as much as possible out of the "homecoming for long time Steeler star" angle this week. And I think things will liven up considerably this week. All I hope for is a good game, and who knows, maybe even an all-time game, like the recent Superbowls with Pats-Rams and Pats-Panthers.

skinsdude Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I agree. I have no real interest in this years Super Bowl but I do think that the public would have been much more interested in a Steelers/Panthers matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgunner Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 He was wearing that awesome t-shirt on the cover of usa today that said, The Bus last Stop SB 40. Cowher and the Bus deserve it. Go Steelers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Coach Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I don't know what you are talking about we have a matchup of a team whose QB is most effective when he throws less than 10 times against a team that the league thought so little of them they still treat them like an expansion team and made them switch conferences. All this and the game is being held in Detroit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
