Mental mistakes on key plays can kill a team's ability to score points and win football games.
At first glance, it seemed the Seahawks were well aware of that possibility, but as the game progressed, so did the mistakes on Seattle's behalf, in fact so many mistakes occurred, it cost them the game.
The Steelers on the other hand, has on their roster the most underrated wide receiver in the league, and on Super bowl sunday, it was wide receiver Hines Ward who became the MVP for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It is almost always difficult for the opposing team who makes mistakes on key plays to win when Hines Ward is in the running for the prestigious award.
The Seattle Seahawks probably lost as many as 20 unforgiving points, and with the help of Hines Ward, the Pittsburgh Steelers went on to crushed the Seahawks 21-10.
Who's Out? The defending champions (New England) are gone. The team (Indianapolis) who almost went undefeated is gone.
Three of the top rated Quarterbacks (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, his brother Eli bit the dust as well, and Carson Palmer) are all out.
The big powerful City of Chicago was the last to fall, Lovie Smith, coach of the year went down with it. Two other notable large powerful cities, New York the first, then Washington, crumbled from the strain.
Tony Dungy, the second best coach of the year, did not survive either.
Even the Tampa Bay Bucs, with the best defense in the NFL, broke under pressure.
Who's In? Pittsburgh Steelers, The team who lost three games in a row late in the season. Seattle Seahawks are in but they have not won a playoff game since President Regan was in office..
The Indianapolis Colts may have to restructure Peyton Manning's contract if they want to keep two of their top players, Edgerrin James and Reggie Wayne. As it stands now Peytons contract could effect salary cap. Update!More than likely Peyton's contract was not restructured, because the Colts released Edgerrin James to the Arizona Cardinals.
New York Giants vs Steve Smith
To stop Steve Smith on any given Sunday, you'll need the correct defensive players on coverage. NY prefers positioning their corners, left (Corey Webster) and right (Will Allen) to the field rather than making adjustments on indiviual receivers. They had better change that strategy for a football game against the Carolina Panthers, or Steve Smith will eat Will Allens lunch, especially after Will's struggle to stop the Raider's receiver, Randy Moss and Doug Gabriel, who caught a combined three touchdowns on his watch.
