Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots Super Bowl LI Thread

[mattjames2010]

The Pats won 2 SBS because the other team choked.

The Patriots caused the choke though. Even Jimmy stated how that forced fumble made the Falcons press due to momentum swing. And it was all Tom Brady on that final drive, you can't stop him when he gets into football god mode.

 

[Tenkamenin]

Wow....I know he was doubled all game, but they only targeted Julio 4 times....4 times! Our coaches and QB would be crucified if we only targeted Dez 4 times in the Super Bowl!

Not only did they underutilize Julio, they stopped running the ball. Devonte was killing them in the first half.

Falcons are DONE! They may have some more success in the next seasons but this is like Buffalo in the 90's...they would never be closer than that first Super Bowl they were in vs. NY where Norwood missed the FG

Just read PATRIOTS have 70m in cap space, have an extra 3rd us what they get for Jimmy g

Unreal

 

[DallasDomination]

Not gonna lie I didn't watch a single minute of the game.. But I did check nfl.com and I guess Atlanta is the biggest choke artist of my generation.

Well I'm off to bed.

How dumb are coaches these days? How absolutely dumb.

2nd and 1 on the 1, 1 timeout left, Seattle passes... when they have Marshawn Lynch

2nd and 11 on the New England 42, Atlanta passes, incomplete.

3rd and 11, they pass again, 9 yard sack.

3rd and 1 tries passing again and fumbles...

Just like Garrett against Green Bay... I seriously need to know, what gives...

League is fixed....after tonight I have 0% doubt.

 

[CATCH17]

Tom Brady happened.

Is the NFL just completely rigged because there is no excuse for the Falcons to not win that game.

The Atlanta coaches gave New England the game.

Howie Long on the fox game post game was touching for me, proud father moment...

Never forget Garrett left holding the bag at dinner when Long stood him up.

 

[Silverstar]

You literally run the ball three times after that Julio catch, even if you don't gain a single yard, you kick the easy field goal and the game is over. Complete repeat of the Seahawks.

Brady and the Pats are WHAT THEY ARE, yes, but they've also been the beneficiaries of two of the most idiotic coaching choke jobs in the history of pro sports.

Both these last two titles they won were absolutely over and the other team completely choked it away because of terrible coaching decisions. So stupid.

 

[DandyDon52]

I'm not saying they threw it. Just strange is all. Money forces things we 99.99% can't imagine.

Well the thing is players cant throw a game, and even coaches, sooner or later it would get out and nfl would never recover.
coaches are that dumb , I see it all the time.

 

[EMMITTnROY]

That DB makes that game sealing INT and we're talking about how bad Brady was this game. Had 4 interceptable passes the last two drives. What the hell was Beasley doing in the end zone?

This is what kills me. Brady should have had 2 picks on terrible passes on that last drive in regulation. But Edelman bails him out with an insane catch, the Falcons drop two easy picks, and Brady is a hero.

 

[CATCH17]

League is fixed....after tonight I have 0% doubt.

There is no excuse for professional coaches to blow a game like that.

 

[Alexander]

How do you bounce back from this?

Atlanta won't make the playoffs next year.

Calling it right now.

Especially if they hire Chip Kelly.

 

[sideon]

Everyone is an armchair coach and knows better than the coaches and can make better decisions than the players....so silly. If Atlanta had run the ball more and not converted, same thing may have happened. Then you'd all be saying that you don't take your foot off the throttle and they lost because they went conservative. I've heard it both ways against the Cowboys. Any close game that's lost, it has to be the coach and players gave it away. Atlanta kept doing what they did that gave them the lead; it all went right for Atlanta in the first half, and it all went NE's way in second half. The best team won. Look at the time of possession--40:31 to 23:27. Yards---546 to 344. Plays---93-46. NE dominated this game, all game long. In the end, the score went for the best team, and Atlanta was way ahead incredibly without really doing much.

Did you really say NE dominated all game long?

[AJC]

That might've been the craziest game I've ever seen. The Atlanta offense completely shut down at the end.

and NE is gonna stack the box so freeman might bust through and go for a td like zeke vs pitt

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

How do you bounce back from this?

You don't.

 

[DK30]

What really makes me laugh is Atlanta left 15 seconds on the play clock for like 4 plays. That adds up.

 

[RomoFor6]

They stopped running it with Freeman.... It's like they **** their pants after the first run of the second half was a loss of 3 or whatever. Disgraceful display by Quinn.
