Startin to worry...

With the Super Bowl now less than 24 hrs away, I'm starting to worry. Yes, I know that we're playing the Arizona Cardinals, but these aren't the Cardinals of yesteryear, or even this year for that matter. The way they played in the playoffs has been remarkable.

Also, let's not forget who their quarterback is...Kurt Warner. He led the Rams to two titles when their franchise was well...not good. Eerie how similar the two teams are. Warner has also had the luxury of playing with some remarkable receivers. In St. Louis, Holt and Bruce, now Fitzgerald and Boldin.

The combination of Warner and Fitzgerald/Boldin makes me worry because no matter how big of a lead the Steelers may have, the Cards have the ability to score quickly. It will surely be a great match-up, this high powered offense vs. the #1 defense in the league.

If the Steelers can get constant pressure on Warner, who isn't the swiftest of foot, and jam the receivers at the line of scrimmage, then my worry rate will drop considerbly, but until then, does anyone know the number of a good heart doctor?
