Editorial Reviews

On February 1, 2009, the Pittsburgh Steelers became the first franchise in NFL history to win their sixth Super Bowl. The title was the Steelers second in four seasons. It was the first under second-year head coach Mike Tomlin. Led by a defense that ranked first in yards allowed per game (237.2), passing yards allowed per game (156.9), points allowed per game (13.9) and second in rushing yards allowed per game (80.3), the Steelers finished the regular season 12-4 to win the AFC North Division title. After defeating San Diego and Baltimore in the AFC playoffs, Pittsburgh culminated its championship run with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. Relive all the thrilling moments of the 2008 Steelers, from Opening Day right through Super Bowl XLIII. NFL Films tells their story with action highlights and exclusive sideline and locker room sound from Pittsburgh’s record-setting season. Blu-ray bonus content includes, HD Gamecast – 4TH Quarter of 2008 Week 14 vs. Cowboys: Just as it sounds, the Fox broadcast of the 4th quarter is presented in HD without commercial interruption.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know what you're buying!, February 9, 2009

This review is from: NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions DVD (DVD)

I've seen several of these from NFL Films, and they're always wonderfully done. This is basically a yearbook of the Steelers' 2008 season -- a "Season Review" which contains highlights of all the Steelers' games, including the Super Bowl. It also contains various extras. It definitely does not include the complete Super Bowl. If you're looking for a review of the season, this is your purchase. If you're looking for Super Bowl XLIII on DVD/BluRay, I'm pretty certain they'll be releasing that before too long as well. Just want to make sure no one is disappointed!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Rush Job?, February 24, 2009

By 

Kid Irish "KDIrirsh" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions DVD (DVD)

As a Steelers fan, I could not wait for this DVD to be released. And as someone who always enjoys a good NFL Films Production, I assumed this DVD would be just as good, if not better, than the Super Bowl XL release outlining the 2005/2006 Steelers season.
Unfortunately, I feel NFL Films fell short with this DVD and that they rushed this into production. They missed the mark somewhere and made the season seem somewhat dull. (Something we all know was NOT the case!)
SPOILER ALERT: The 2 minute clip viewable on Amazon is not even in the DVD . . .odd.
Of course, this review is not meant to deter any of you from purchasing this DVD. Nor, is it meant to downplay the amazing season the Steelers played. The bonus material is enjoyable to watch and any fan will be happy to add this to their collection. But once again, a bit of a disappointment in comparison to the Super Bowl XL DVD.
As a reminder, this DVD does NOT contain the Super Bowl XLIII game. This is merely a collection of clips from the 2008/2009 season.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, March 27, 2009

This review is from: NFL Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh Steelers Champions DVD (DVD)

I expected this to be a DVD of the 2008 Superbowl not just the highlights. The way it is advertised and promoted it is very misleading. And the highlights of the Superbowl don't do the game justice!
