Steelers: Road to XL - Post-Season Collector's Edition (DVD, 2006)

For the first time, NFL films has offered a complete game on DVD. In fact, they offer four! This set is great for the Steeler fan! It starts with the Wild Card game vs. the Bengals,the Divisional round vs. the Colts, the AFC Championship vs. the Broncos, and finally the Super Bowl vs. the Seahawks. Each game is shown complete, every play. The AFC playoffs feature the video from the CBS broadcast and the Super Bowl video is from ABC's broadcast. Play by play audio is from the Steelers broadcast team of Bill Hillgrove and Tunch Ilkin.

Normally a game broadcast lasts 3 hours or more, but with no commercials and less replays, you can see the entire game in half that time. Most of the time, after each play, it cuts right to the teams lining up for the next play. There are still a good amount of replays that you will want to see, and on the Super Bowl disc, there is the post game reactions on the field.

Each disc also has NFL Films bonus material, interviews and profiles on Hines Ward, Chuck Knoll, Bill Cowher, and Dick LeBeau. Really cool stuff you have probably seen before, but well worth it for the Steeler fan.

It retails at Best Buy for $38, but I picked it up at a Giant Eagle store in Pittsburgh for $14.95. On Ebay, look for a price around $20. Many are at $17.95, so you should find a fair price on Ebay. There are no extra features as far as booklets or anything, but it is a really nice package! A good companion to the regular Super Bowl disc that features more of the event and not much of the game.

Enjoy!

I love this DVD set, if your a hardcore steelers fan or have a hardcore steelers fan in the family this will be the perfect gift trust me,This dvd has all 4 playoff game from start to finish without cutting nothing out, just like if you were watching the live broadcast that day, and each disc has a bonus feature that include interviews with Hines Ward,Chuck Knoll,Bill Cowher and Dick LeBeau which is really cool. Own history the first 6 seed team to ever win the superbowl and the said it could never be done.

great experience. Would recommend to anyone. Shipped on time and arrived in excellent condition. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to buy from this person.

Cinnci fans can watch their beloved Bunguls'Carson Palmyself have his knee ripped in half in slow motion and their play off run ended in the first minute of play against the Superbowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers! I loved the last game too in 2006, what a loss for the bunguls at home, missing the playoffs, and losing to the five time superbowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers all in one game!! Better luck next decade!!

Love this dvd. Its reliving the glory of superbowl 40. Every game every play. couldn't ask for much more

AAAAAAA++++++ A MUST HAVE FOR ANY STEELER FAN THE COMPLETE 4 PLAYOFFS IS LIKE LIVE IT AGAIN GREAT STUFF

I've been wondering for the last 5 or 6 years if or when title runs would be put on DVD so fans didn't have to re-live the games on warn out tapes. I'm just happy the Steelers are the first NFL to have this happen. There are a few extras, but if you get this set, you're getting it for the games. The comeback in Cincy. The shocker in Indy. I still wonder how much Pete Morelli was getting paid by the Colts for that horrendous call. Then the blowout in Denver. And of course the Super Bowl, winning ugly. Thank you to the NFL and other entities that finally got this going.

Found the product at a lower price than the nfl shop. Product came in good condition in original packing. No compliants

Good, not great. Wonderful to have the games on DVD. The editing is just a little too fast. Also, if they had extras about the commercials.

I love this product. The NFL should consider going into the network archives and revive some of the classic match-ups from the past just like this. There used to be only 3 games no matter what. I would love to see some of the old playoff games. Many times they were better than the Super Bowl itself. They could do teams like the Steelers 4 Super Bowl runs from the 70s, along with the Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins, etc. People would buy them. I love this idea with this year's Steelers. I didn't even get to watch any of these games live. This is the next best thing. I love it.

Complete coverage of the road to SB XL title relived. It would be a nice addtion to any Steelers fan collection.

My husband and I watch these dvds during the off season and we LOVE them. They are the full games, with all of the nonsense cut out. Not just highlights. Games are called by WDVDE announcers (Tunch and Bill and Wolfie). The season known as "The Magic Carpet Ride" is a must have for any true Steeler fan. They will not disappoint. The Steelers are the greatest football team in NFL history and this dvd set proves it. What more can I say? BUY IT, you won't regret it.
