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

Monumental collapse.

That offensive genius Shanahan?

I think they went into conservative mode with the lead a little too early. They did the same vs the Pack but that was with an even bigger lead.

No ...

Oregon was up by 14 at the start of the 4th qtr. Atlanta was up by 19 at the start of the 4th qtr (in the super bowl, no less).

You can't spend the last 18 minutes of the game trying to run out the clock. You'd think they'd have learned that after the San Diego game this year and after almost coughing up the New Orleans game. Apparently they did not. It'll cost you every time vs a good team.

Thank God for Sports to stop Politics at least for a few seconds
As has been pointed out on social media by others:

1) Villanova miracle shot over UNC
2) Extra Innings in game 7 of the World Series
3) Lebron Block and Irving shot in the waning seconds of game 7
4) Clemson miracle touchdown to win it
5) NFL overtime

Come on Hockey, get it together you hosers with a boring ass 6 game series?

Monumental collapse.

Almost as bad as the Packer choke vs the Hawks in the 2015 championship.

No, Matt Ryan is NOT elite.

Monumental collapse.

See I told ya' the Falcons D was better than advertised. They folded late though.

You did. They sure came to play. My hats off to them

I dont know how many times i told my son Atlanta better score again.

I hear ya, Brady has proven over and over those situations bring the best outta him... I was just thinking maybe the Pats can get themselves in striking distance, just end it respectfully, BUT DAM!!! They made every play they needed down the stretch and got the win... That was the greatest win in Patriots History, I know every Super-Bowl is special, but that was SOOOOOO unlikely, Atlanta had total control of that game... It's just amazing...

That was another big choke job.

 

[Robotech]

Dude, TOTALLY... That was like having the girl of your dreams naked on your bed and she tells you she's really a man ... I don't know how else to describe the feeling they must have right now... They thought for sure they had it, the fan base just knew it was there time.... It was SNATCHED from them ...

It's like when the Giants blew the 2002 World Series. The Giants have won 3 World Series since then, but I'm not completely over 2002.

Did you really think I was serious with that post? Jesus dude... I get sarcasm is tough on the Internet but c'mon. I had the pffft image and everything. NWPATS clearly got it. Good lord.

I guess the Falcons didn't learn from the Seahawks. Run the damn ball.

The Falcons defense was one of the worst in the NFL this season.

 

[Dolemite censored]

Unbelievable choke.

Too late now.

Unbelievable choke.

It still was great entertainment.

Giants have had a great run lately in MLB baseball for sure... Thats the series where the Angels had a crazy comeback in game 6 right ? Just guessing didn't look it up ...
