I love it when Steeler's fans say Super Bowl XL was not fixed. Check out these stats:
Ben Roethlisberger: 9/21 (42%) 123 yards 0 touchdowns 2 interceptions
22 passer rating
Roethlisberger holds the title of having the absolute worst quarterback performance in Super Bowl
history. He was even worse than Terry Bradshaw (who was never that good, despite what the media says) in his performance against the LA Rams in Super Bowl XIV. Don'
t even mention the phantom touchdown he didn'
t get. He even admitted on national television that he did not get that touchdown.
Willie
Parker: 10 carries/93 yards.
On the surface, this is good. But one of his carries was a 75 yard touchdown, so if we take that away, his stats would've been
18 yards on 9 carries, or 2 yards a carry, which is extremely shitty.
Jerome Bettis: 14 carries, 43 yards
I've always hated that
overrated fat fuck, and it was a pleasure seeing the Seahawks defense stuff his
fatass. He only managed 3 yards a carry. It's also important to mention that
Detroit, his home town, hosted Super Bowl XL, and he retired after finally getting his long awaited Super Bowl ring. Is anyone finding this a little coincidental?
The only
player on the entire Steeler's team that played well was Hines Ward (123 yards, 5 receptions). Even if the Seahawks won, he would still deserve the MVP (and I fucking hate Hines Ward).
Take away the refs (one of them being a Pittsburgh native), the Seahawks would've destroyed the Steelers, possibly the first shutout in Super Bowl
history.
