[NEhomer]

Highest passer rating for the losing QB in the Super Bowl (starter):

1. Matt Ryan: 2016 (144.1)
2. Jake Delhomme: 2003 (113.6)
3. Kurt Warner: 2008 (112.3)
4. Russell Wilson: 2014 (110.6)
5. Roger Staubach: 1978 (100.4)

Pretty crazy that 3 of the top 4 were Patriot wins.

that shit was fixed

Come on you can't be serious!! Love or hate the Pats, they deserved to win that game. Give Brady and the Pats credit for coming back. If anyone is a stats fan, the Pats got 546 total yards to the Falcons 344 total yards. The Pats had 37 first downs, the Falcons had 17. The T.O.P. was Pats 40 minutes to the Falcons 23 minutes. IMO, the Falcons defense choked and lost the game.

yes i am

you arent really laughing

 

[Dude]

It was a defensive shut down by the Pats, all things considered. Falcons got a big pick 6, which has a sum total of ZERO offensive yards.

Quality post OT first half Blounts fumble was huge at least 10 point differential and then Brady's int was big to limit Pat's to 3 points in first half.

Yes indeed, that fumble, great play by ATL, they punched it out on a short field. Sum the pick 6 and you have 14 right there. Huge.

Devil thanks appreciate it man. Just make the flamer Rodgers look his usual gay self and maybe with a lil monkey on his lap or one of the Village people whatever you think it's for our friend Smitty

Yeah Beasley definitely could've laid out more for that pick. I think the loser in any close game can point to stuff and second guess it. The thing with Carroll's decision and Shanahan play calls were they were obvious mistakes that you noticed as they were happening. It's easy to go look at things after the game and reali s e you should've done something different but when the average fan realizes it as its actually happening that's when it sets itself apart imo

Yep players can only run the play thats called I don't blame Ryan. You can't. Patsies were praying for a pass play to either pick it off or sack. Only chance they had was coaching stupidity. They got it.

The play wasn't to take a sack.
He fucked them, despite the shitty play call.
MVP my ass.

Agreed he could have done better but if I'm the coaches why take that risk when a FG wins the game? You simply don't put a player in a position to lose a game. That's on Quinn I'm firing him today.

I agree 1000%

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

Agreed. This is not on Ryan. It's on the coaching/play calling that forced their defense to defend 99 odd plays. The defense was done after the 4th quarter.

I knew once the Pats won the OT coin toss, the game was over.
