Sorry bro but you don't get off the hook with that lame assed excuse.

What about executing the plays that were called? What about the vast difference in talent level between the teams? What about the Pats D having no answer at all? I mean, I recall that you were regretful about having to say it but facts are facts. The Pats D hasn't faced a QB like Ryan.

Hey man, I was laughing the whole two weeks about it but now, you're being a pussy.

Ryan took a sack he shouldn't have and the stage just got too big for him.

Fact.
Of course you want to execute but so does the other team. It's naive to think you're going to win every play so in lieu of that impossible standard it's the job of the coaches to put you in the best position to win a game. For 54 of 60 minutes Atlanta dominated the Super Bowl but the game was still 2 possessions so you have to coach to game situation. Clearly you hope your team executes but they can try and execute a run just as easily and far more safely. If you think this loss is on Shanahan you're either lying or really don't understand the game. If it's the latter is apologizemy my guess is its the former so grow up. When someone screws up its ok they get the blame. He's not a toddler. He can deal

Your QB couldn't handle the big stage and you're a bragging asshole who can't admit it.

"I can't wait to be laughing at you guys in two weeks." How's that workin' out?

What are you talking about dude. Ryan played phenomenally. I mean Jesus take your fluke ass win with some dignity and class. There are plenty of Pats fans here doing so. Your team had no business winning but they did. If you think that had anything to do with the level Ryan played at the you really shouldn't be on a football board discussing things,

When you're talking 25 points you just can't have a choke without a great comeback as well. While everyone is focused on Ryan taking a sack, a holding call, etc... how about giving the Patriots credit for an amazing comeback. They were dropping everything and Brady was getting hit on almost every play in the first half. Then they simply couldn't make a mistake during that comeback. Amazing to watch. 462 yards, 43 completions, two 2-point conversions - amazing. Give credit to Belichick as well for kicking that field goal down 28-9 when a lot of people thought he should go for it. They had ice in their veins.

I"m ok with a bootleg, just not a slant route.... At least with a bootleg you have several options... But I still go with Lynch, it doesn't matter if the whole world knows your going to him, announce it on the PA system, wave to Bill and say were going Lynch, and then play smash mouth football and see who wins... 11 on 11 , who's tougher.... push me or we push you .... GO!!!

AND, I'll repeat AGAIN, you can't change the facts, Lynch had been ordinary bordering on shitty on obvious running downs short yardage for a LOOOONG time, and had in fact been stuffed in short yardage earlier in the same damn game.

I know it's a great narrative, but that's all it is, a narrative.

The hoodie (and everyone except B+B) weren't going to let Lynch beat them from there.

The only times he'd been pushing the pile was when he was hitting the second level, running on passing downs. He was ROUTINELY getting stuffed on obvious running downs.

That's a fact.

Do you remember that braggart asshole we all had to out up with for two weeks who turned out to be dead wrong about everything?

How was I wrong? I said it'd be close and your D would get lit. Both happened. Your offense did a great job of holding onto the ball and our staff choked so you win a game you got completely dominated in for the vast majority of it. Congrats on your 1 in 1000 win.

You did guarantee they were score 30+, so you were wrong about that.

"Atlanta will score nearly every time they have the ball"

You had the ball 9 times, not including the end of half and end of game. They scored 3 times.

You go to the parade? I haven't been to one since 2008 Celtics. Was in Florida for the last 3 championships. It was a good time.

No I'm cool in early 60's enjoy

For more than one third of the game.....0 points.

You're a pussy of the greatest magnitude.
