Game Thread: Super Bowl LI- Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots 6:30pm ET FOX

Maybe every 3 years once it's apparent they can't win.....

Trends are trends....

So the Cowboys should fire their head coach?

I've never been a big fan of him.

very true, that one was all on Ryan, not Quinn.

So if a general gives the order to his troups to march into landmines killing them its the soldiers fault for their deaths? Yeah that makes sense.... Quinn made the call which had a great chance to fail when he could have went by the coaches handbook and ran the ball and took the points to win. Glad you aren't coaching my team!

 

[FlyerFinFan]

SB in only his 2nd year? Manster and OT are right

He lost the super bowl with horrible decisions and thats after having a huge lead that was virtually impossible to lose. Apparently he also blew some games like this during the season so if I'm blank he's not learning from past mistakes so see you later. Maybe just maybe sit him down but he's on tape saying this is how I do it let it rip??? Man there's a time and place to just play smart... and that was it.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Perfect, like a groundhog seeing it's shadow, Atlanta can look forward to 6 more seasons of losing big games....

Exactly my point and he hasn't said he'd do things differently... definition of insanity.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Losing is never fun. If you get stomped, it hurts.

But if you are right there and see it slip, twice (just the one for Atlanta) I start to see trends.......

And it isn't a trend I'd want.

Yep why get there if the guy can't manage the big game. The teams talented I'm sure a few other coaches can get them there and actually win it. My mom could have called that FG sequence...

 

[FlyerFinFan]

Well then shut the fuck up about what I said to the other guy. Nobody said the play calls were wise. You're arguing for the sake of it again.

Then why did you post to me then? You should have posted only to the other guy. Oh I forgot you were making an ass out of yourself after your team luckily came back.... Typical.

If he makes horrible calls like Quinn to lose games with huge leads yes. If he learns from his mistakes or is willing to learn yeah cut some slack but this guy just said after losing because of bad play calls let it rip??? I'd turf him in a second.

Good.

Okay I get it, it's your opinion.

dumb comparison.

Ryan easily could have thrown the ball away but he took the sack.

I posted to you because YOU quoted my post to him! Your auto-argue program just kicked in is all.

Yep, I looked at the video again and Ryan rolled out to his right and he could have easily thrown the ball away, instead of taking a 12 yard loss.

Exactly. He could have thrown in away and lived another day. Also, I think he was the one who decided to spike the ball.

I have a feeling Marty B won't be back. Last night he was talking about getting paid as a Champion. Stating lots of other TEs have better #s but no ring. What about a Bennett brother connection in Seattle?

I doubt that'll happen if he's commanding that kind of money he thinks he's worth. We have JG and he and RW seem to be getting on the same page. Overall, I say pass on MB.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Good.

I detect disdain.....

Yet I honestly am not caring.

I say keep him. They have now won without Gronk.

Likely they will have to again.

Watching the replay before dinner.

Did anybody else notice Quinn manifesting his Inner Idiot Pete Carroll on the pick 6 play. I thought he was going to explode on the sidelines. Brian Cox had to grab him from lifting off..... Bouncing around like an idiot....

Like his defense he shot his wad early and had nothing when the game really mattered.

No disdain coming from me. Everyone has an opinion and I respect your opinion.

Yet the Falcons made it to the Super Bowl and the Cowboys watched the game from their TV's. How sweet it is.
