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

[The Oldtimer]

I'd probably be looking to replace Quinn and trade Ryan before the draft.

They will never get to another Super Bowl, so why bother keeping them?

Quinn took the Falcons to the SB in his second year as HC. Why would you trade a MVP QB and fire your head coach?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Ryan averaged 12.5 yards per pass and had a 144 passer rating. Saying he's the reason Atlanta lost is absurd. Atlanta lost because of suspect play calling and because Tom Brady is the best QB who has ever lived. Atlanta could have sustained one of those 2 but the combination of both of them together equaled a loss

Team game. You sound like a Seahawks fan blaming the OC.

How about that high powered offense you spoke of? Sterling 2nd half........

You can't have one of the greatest collapses in sports history and blame it on a a couple of guys who never touched the ball once.

Well it's what happened. You put your,team in the best position to win. That's not what happened last night and NE capitalized on that because they got the best QB ever. A comeback like that takes extreme luck and participation from the other team. I can point to 4 or 5 specific play calls where if you change any one of them then Atlanta wins. That said that's not how it played out. Still took perfect explication from NE for them to win and that's how it went

Because he has displayed a tendency to have his defense ripped in the late stages of the biggest game of the year twice now.

Overrated.......

Black is feeling Blue as I'm sure 3/4 of the country is Have no idea my friend except they want new blood which is cool

Shitty play calling and shitty execution

They will never get back there, so start over.

He's not my MVP QB

Well yeah..... when it's your fault you get the blame. That's life.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I conceded the game last night as you know in the 4th being down 25. I don't panic around games being in the business so long but still am in shock

Marky Mark apparently conceded and left the building......

I was in denial. But still hopeful.

Fair enough, if that is your opinion.

"Extreme luck" ? ...I don't even know were your going with that.


Atlanta's offensive was so explosive that should it even matter what plays get called?
With an offense like this most plays should produce results.

Didn't you spend a bunch of time this week saying that the coaching didn't matter as much as the FACT that the Patriots defense didn't have the talent to stop the Falcons offense?

Marky Mark would get straightened out in Prov but he was not alone. I gave up in 4th 25 points man

 

[Dude]

Yep, they were who we thought they were, F-ing dawgs.

I could smell the weather changing though.

And then I knew it was doable.

 

[GNG]

I don't mind going conservative but not til midway through the 4th. It was 28-20 before they should have even considered going stall. Ul t omately they needed 1 more score and didn't even try to get it until it was 28-20. Just stupid

Too bad Atlanta has such a porous defense.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Too bad Atlanta has such a porous defense.

They did their shit in first half and until 4th 3 friggin points

 

[GNG]

Once you get a non choke QB sunny skies

sonny I'm surprised you were conceding the game in the 3rd quarter. You should realize the game is 60 minutes long.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Because he has displayed a tendency to have his defense ripped in the late stages of the biggest game of the year twice now.

Overrated.......

Okay fair enough, if you can judge a HC in his second year as coach. IMO, he did a great job this season getting his team to the SB.

I was late in 3rd and u don't have to tell me about 4 quarters

He did a great job letting Brady rip his ass in the last 2 Super Bowls he's been in.

He could be the new Marv Levy....
