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

[black francis]

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

the offense scored 21 points, and none in the 2nd half

Dont take a sack and you win the game

Shitty play call, but Ryan fucked up.

I'm fine. not a Falcons fan

Then I'm happy for you. You seemed sad.

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.

YES sir I did too. Just a complete panic job by Shanahan.

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

Don't take a sack? Easier said then done. You can't just heave it or you risk a pick or intentional grounding.

The coaches should not have put him in this position. Just stupid and plays into the defense's hands.

I knew it was over the last possession when Ryan was throwing it down the middle of the field, then spiked it on 2nd and 6.

The offense scored in the second half and yes ideally you never want to take a sack but when you're in the pocket you can't just throw it away either. You shouldn't be running a pass play on 3rd and 1 when youre averaging 7 ypc and if you must pass it should be a quick route not a 7 step drop that takes a long time to develop. Atlanta simply didn't coach to circumstances and game situation. If they had they win but to the Pats credit they capitalized on the mental errors. That's how you win 5 Super Bowl

happens all the time.

he could easily just chuck it and not take the sack.

It was tough as I am actually a huge Brady fan. I really thought ( and frankly still do think ) Atlanta was the better team but I also knew if they left the window cracked that Brady would find a way to get in. Overall a great experience. Hopefully we can do round 2 next year

You can't just chick it when you're in the pocket. That's the same thing as taking the sack

The D scored most of the points in first half stopped Blount on 3rd and 1 fumble by Blount caused by D and the the pick on Brady

As much as I am 25 was too huge for me to imagine. Down 10 to Seattle in 4th I had life, but not last night

I am a huge believer in Karma.

The minute I saw the Falcons owner down on the field way too early I yelled get back in your box you dope.

Correct. You need to be out of the pocket to chuck it. Otherwise it's 10 yard loss and loss of down.

Exactly the patsies only hope was a pass play and they were gifted it. Run the ball and kick had far higher percentages in winning the game. I'm just hoping Gase watched that because he has the same tendencies at times.

not if its in the area of a receiver. it happens every game.

Once you stop with the Patsies shit I'll read your posts, maybe good for kids
