Skip to 2:15 and 3:00 if you want to be made a fool of (again). 

Have you ever played quarterback?  I from my first year of football (3rd grade) until the end of my freshman year.  Do you know who the only read for a quarterback is on a slant route?  It's the linebacker(s) on the strong side because no corner is going to be playing inside enough to stop the slant route.  Guess who Warner didn't read?  The STRONG SIDE LINEBACKER.  Who made the interception?  STRONG SIDE LINEBACKER.

Especially near the goal line because typically a safety is too far back to make a play on a slant, but they're not even in the game down there.  You could argue that the guy covering the inside receiver could have made the play, but Warner didn't check him, either.  Warner STARED down the receiver from the snap to the throw.  

Tell me how that's making a great play and not something a five-year-old could anticipate just by looking at Warner and thinking "oh, he's going to throw the ball right where he's staring!"  Even the Steelers player they interviewed said he realized that he couldn't make the blitz (which he's in the shotgun on the goal line, it's not rocket science that he won't have the ball long enough for you to get pressure) so he just fell back, and then Warner threw it right to him after telegraphing what he was doing.  He made a common sense play, not a great play.

You keep digging yourself in deeper by being wrong again and again.
