Did you say it was over @halftime?

[jerseyhawksfan79]

By half time no. Going into the 4th, yes.

28-3 was when I thought and said the same thing, over. Actually I think me exact words were,

Game, set, match.

Man, what is the feeling like? I'm trying to think if I've ever had my team make that kind of a comeback. No way, as what we saw last night was unprecedented. The closest thing for Niners fans is probably when they executed the drive to beat the Bengals in 1989, but that was a piddly little comeback compared to that Pats' comeback last night.

I'm not sure if I posted it here or on another thread, but for New England area sport fans, imo, it was just like when the Yankees were up 3 games to 0 over the Red Sox, and no other team had ever come back from being down 3 in a 7 game series, but the Sox did.

Two unbelievable comebacks for New England sports fans in the last 13 years. It's like the sports gods are rewarding you guys for all the years of Red Sox futility even though they already compensated you guys with all the Celtics success in the '50s, '60's, '70s, and '80s. LOL. You guys have it good!

Great Dane said it was over four times in the 1st qtr.

Total shock, hard to believe, crazy, unbelievable, numb...Even more that the Sox great come back. Probably because this one took only about 15 minutes.

Yes we NE sports fans are truly spoiled.

Even the Bruins in 11'.

I've been a sports fan since the mid 70's, and have lived through a lot of futile seasons with my favorite teams. I can't even begin to explain how it feels these last couple of decades. I've even gotten a bit emotional about certain things, by Gparents seeing the Sox win before they passed for example. (Gpa was born in 1918 and lived through all those years of Sox failure, but got to see them win it all one time.)

 

[Destroydacre]

Not at halftime, but yes at 28-3.

 

[The Oldtimer]

The Rose Bowl. No game is over until the clock is at zero

Yes!!

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Anybody else having a hard time buying Whalberg's story?

Yeah, I think he felt like it was over....

Only illness was Whalberg's stomach.

Once the 4th Q hit and still down 25 thought it was over McNabb. Kept hearing the biggest second half deficit was 10 and Pats did it 2 years ago, but 25

I continued to say throughout the 2nd half that anything could still happen

 

[Breed]

At halftime, no. At 28-3, absolutely.

 

[Inimical]

Game isnt over SONNY!

 

[NEhomer]

I continued to say throughout the 2nd half that anything could still happen

Yet, there's a fine line between that and truly thinking that they would actually pull it off, no?

 

[mcnabb7542]

Great Dane said it was over four times in the 1st qtr.

Well he is the idiot of the board sooooo.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

At 28-3, I texted my buddy and said "Well - let's see how the Patriots handle being down 25 in a Super Bowl". His immediate response - "Greatest comeback of all time".

31 unanswered points...

 

[soxfan1468927]

I think the first time that I actually believed they could win, was when they showed Brady's reaction to the fumble recovery.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

When Hightower smacked Ryan I stood and cheered for the first time all game.

At that point anything could happen.

I had been telling people for 2 weeks that I was rooting for Atlanta but I wouldn't count out BB and TB even down 3 TD's in the 4th quarter. They just always somehow find a way to pull it off. I don't know for sure if I even believed that, but I wasn't ever going to bet against them
