The X-FACTOR
The Toughest-n-Hardest obstacle to overcome in Professional Football
We’re about to take a journey… A journey only traveled by Champions and THOSE that dared to try and be champions and Failed Miserably or just came up short from achieving Greatness. To be great you must have a willingness to fail at all costs (Nothing is sacred in this regard) Because in order to gain the ultimate prize you must be willing to MAKE the ultimate sacrifice
Love is nothing without Trust-n-Respect
Kindness-n-Generosity is only helpful when it’s not taken as Weakness
Prosperity is wasted when it only affects The FEW instead of Affecting The MANY
Greatness is achieved when Sacrifices have been made towards That Achievement
We'll talk about the X-Factors that could determine the outcome of this SB XLIII.
Lets start with some historical facts that are undisputed and Always used as quotable imprints…
Outside of who has scored the Most Points when the game has ended (DUH!!!)
Turnovers are the Most concrete way of determining WHO actually wins a NFL contest (REALLY) Especially if the team who recovers the turnover actually scores as a direct result of said-turnover!!!
The hardest thing to do is to WIN while you’re Recklessly giving the ball to the other team (REALLY) So the Law-of-Averages, just like the Laws of Gravity & Physics & Probability, leans greatly towards the team with the LEAST Amount of turnovers having the Optimum Chance of winning a NFL game !!!
SO THUS I Bring To YOU ...
The X-FACTORS for determining the outcome of Super Bowl XLIII
The coaching Effect: Ken Whisenhunt/Russ Grimm VS Mike Tomlin/Dick LeBeau
The Sheer-Genius of Ken & Russ against the Young-Motivator Mike along with the Grizzled Old-Vet Dick will be A Match-of-Wits for the ages. Not withstanding the obvious ties to the Steelers LAST Super Bowl team, the coaching effort put fourth by both coaching staffs this year is phenomenal at worst & probably the most Improbable-n-Unimaginable pairing in Super Bowl History since SB III .
From the Motivation-n-Guidance THAT was needed in playing the Toughest schedule in the NFL along with winning some very close-n-classic games during the Pittsburgh Steelers season…
To the LABEL of Worst NFL Playoff team in History, after of course clinching their division earlier than ANYONE ELSE this season, and THEN Just Destroying the competition on their way to their FIRST EVER Super Bowl appearance for the Arizona Cardinals
Well quite frankly I can’t think of two more deserving coaching staffs that should be here (REALLY)
The ultimate gut-check in this game will be Ken Whisenhunt along with his offensive staff in Handling-n-Exploiting the Defensive Schemes-n-Pressure that Dick LeBeau’s defensive staff will bring… And TRUST ME the Steelers is going to bring The PAIN on a Regular (U can Book That One Dan-O !!!)
Impact Players: Harrison & Woodley VS Edge, Larry, Anquan & Stevie-B
Have there ever been a WR group that was More Prolific than Arizona’s in the Super Bowl? The St. Louis Rams (Bruce, Holt, Az Hakim) that won the Super Bowl against the Titans… The SF 49ers (Jerry Rice/John Taylor) that defeated the Boomer Esiason led Bengals… The First Jimmy Johnson led Dallas Cowboy team that had M-Irving and Alvin Harper… Don’t really know the answer BUT how to stop these Great Wide-outs will be a problem in itself.
Can The Edge be able to have a positive effect in the running game that will offset a Defense that doesn’t allow Running Backs to have a positive Effect AGAINST them… The Steelers specialize in two things regarding their defensive Strategy-n-Execution and that’s Sacking the QB and Stopping-n-Shutting Down YOUR Running Game (REALLY It IS !!!)
We have DEFINITELY seen Defensive Impact Players-n-Teams in the Super Bowl but have we ever seen a Great Defensive team having to face an Offensive Juggernaut coming into the Super Bowl like the Arizona Cardinals have been (Beating ATL, CAR & PHI The WAY they have!!!)
Outside of that 1st Buffalo Bills team that BARELY Lost to the NY Giants…
I don’t think so.
QB play: Big Ben vs Kurt Warner
The Smooth Operator (Warner)
OR
The Young Gun with Something to Prove (Big BEN)…
Pick your Poison…
Choose your method of Death…
Save the Women or The Children !!! WHEW …
Which one will make the necessary adjustments during the game to better help his team win the Super Bowl. Sacks and I Mean BIG Sacks doesn’t seem to bother Ben unless he has to leave the game due to an injury during such a vicious hit. And we ALL KNOW that Sacks-n-Big Hits can & will rattle the FUCK out of Kurt Warner. To keep these QB’s upright & functional BOTH Offensive lines along with the RB(s) are going to have to Man-the-FUCK UP!!!
(REALLY They Do, NO Joking Here at ALL !!!)
Kurt’s Quick-Trigger Accuracy
VS
Big BEN’s Toughness and Broken-Play Efficiency will be the KEY!!!
Safeties of Destruction: Troy Polamalu VS Adrian Wilson
We hear FAR MORE about Troy and NOT ENOUGH about Adrian Wilson…
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Does Troy have to make the KEY plays like he did against the Baltimore Ravens in order for the Steelers to win OR just enough to offset any positive contribution that Arizona Wide-outs will have. Adrian is a physical Freak-of-Nature at the safety position (In LOOKS-n-Ability and Production...) Will he be able to match Troy’s Impact for his team for the Cardinals?
Anything IS possible (REALLY!!!)
BTW DID you see the 66” vertical jump video … BAM !!!!!
Special Teams Play: ALWAYS Interesting to SEE and HEAR
Special teams play can Make-or-Break your success during the course of a NFL contest... LOTS of intrigue with Special Teams-Plays For Real!!!
When Desmond Howard played with the Green Bay Packers and they beat the N.E. Patriots Desmond was the Player of the Game MAINLY because Brett Farve rarely had to work with the whole field once the offense took over…
Short field equals easy scores for a prolific Offense and a great QB !!!
A GREAT special-teams play can INSPIRE a team and at the same time Demoralize the other team… So look for glaring mishaps on special-teams to have a effect on the outcome of this NFL contest (If in fact any of those type of plays happen during the Super Bowl this coming Sunday… (REALLY)
No PREDICTIONS Please: Enjoy the Drama Within The Drama
OMG…
Where to start because there are some Straight-Bitterness behind the scenes
From neither ONE of the Ex-Steelers coaches not getting the Head Coaching position... OUCH THAT HURTS !!!!!
And one of the ex(s) Russ Grimm going to bed thinking the next day He’s going to be named The Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach… ONLY to find out it’s going to be Mike Tomlin... THANK YOU MAY I HAVE ANOTHER PLEASE !!!!!
The Edge playing All BALLS-OUT after that Mind-FUCK than Ken Whisenhunt did…
BTW THAT was Fucking Genius
(A Fresh-n-Pissed OFF Edge could be the difference – Really)
The POOR Arizona Defense have to hear about how they can’t Stop The STEELERS
AHHH SHIT… Now Y’ALL done Started Something
(CAN Momentum REALLY Carry you This FAR - REALLY THOU...)
ENJOY YOUR SUPER BOWL WEEKEND… Regardless of The Outcome
Oh and My GUT…
I’m a childhood Steelers FAN from grade school to H.S. (Terry Bradshaw-Lynn Swan) So I always root for them and follow-n-support them… But this Arizona Team is Scary If they can’t RATTLE or get SOME Big Hits on Warner, Fumbles or Interceptions, THEN I can’t see nobody beating THEM !!! I Root for Steelers BUT I’m picking Arizona.
