i jsut hate ben rothlesberger. ray lewis and ed reed are way better than troy palomalo and james harrison.
im so in love with the sport haha
Comparing these four players is impossible because they play different roles in their teams. Lewis is the roaming tackler, that's his job so he has more tackles than Harrison. But Harrison is the pressure guy and therefore has more sacks than Lewis. Reed is a cover safety so he has more interceptions and less tackles than Polomalu. So, I'd say at their respective positions we are looking at the four best in the league.
It should be a series of good games this weekend and I'm going with the Steelers and Cardinals with the Steelers winning the Super Bowl.
Let's be honest. Baltimore is a GREAT team but they got LUCKY this weekend. Had Chris Johnson come back and had Tennessee not made those two big mistakes the outcome would most likely be different. On the other hand, Pittsburgh DOMINATED SD until they basically sat back and rested. Even Big Ben looked sharp, and so did the offensive line.
As for Phi and AZ...AZ ripped their heavily favored opponents to pieces with great defense and amazing offense. Even without Anquon Boldin. Philly has been playing great on both sides of the ball but just not as good as AZ. I mean, AZ shut down Carolina's running game. That says something BIG!
So, while I think both games will be hard fought, I believe we'll see AZ losing to Pittsburgh in the big game.
