Super bowl LI
« on: February 05, 2017, 06:41:36 PM »
Atlanta is faster on both sides of the ball so far.  Feels like Detroit against any good team so far.

No YAC for NE so far.  It feels like NE is running g the ball just to keep Brady from getting hit for a play.

Punt was deep enough to prevent it.

The Falcons could not have drawn up a way to mess this up any worse. You could've legitimately taken 3 knees after the Jones catch on the sidelines and kicked a FG and won the Super Bowl. Absurd.

Not that it ended up mattering, but why would they challenge the Edelman catch with 2:03 left? Clock is running. Let it get to the 2 minute warning and challenge it. Could've given the Patriots a free timeout.

Exactly.  Blame should be on Kyle Shanahan for passing after that.  Run the ball,therefore no sack, therefore no hold call and clock is running. Just terrible and I can't imagine being a Falcons fan right now.

Atlanta's defense is gassed.  Time of possession is ridiculous.

My thoughts exactly.

Twice now the Pats have won SBs because the opponent is too dumb to run the ball.

Hard to argue.  Atlanta gave him a chance with some stupid play calling, but he still had to get it done...again.

 I agree with most of the comments here.

 Abstract question…

What percentage of this was a New England come back and what percentage of this was an Atlanta collapse?

I'd say 90% Atlanta collapse

I have never seen a coaching decision that was undefendable...until tonight. On the 20 yard line, how do you not run the ball three times and kick the field goal?

Yep.  NE's comeback was amazing, but if ATL just made the obvious calls after the Jones catch, it never would have gone to OT.

Disagreed that it's 90% ATL choking.  NE had to be perfect for the last 17 minutes of football, and they were.  Even if ATL throws it and it's simply incomplete they still are in FG range.  They needed to make a play and they did (getting the sack).  They needed to score touchdowns on back to back possessions and get 2 point conversions on back to back possessions.  They needed to go 91 yards in 3 and a halfish minutes.  Etc. Etc. Etc.

It was about 95% NE being NE and 5% Atlanta leaving the door open.

By the way, for anybody who hasn't seen it, the NFL Films documentary on the Patriots' Super Bowl season from 2 years ago, "Do Your Job," is incredible.  Well worth the 45 minutes.  Insane how many steps ahead of the game Belichick and their staff is.

This. Of course. Absolutely unbelievable that they didn't just run (which they had done well all game) and, if stopped, kick the clinching FG. To me, this was SIGNIFICANTLY more stupid than Seattle trying a first-down pass at the goal line the last time NE won.

I have a friend with an online gambling account and I almost bet $250 on NE -3 and $100 on the over. But I chickened out. For 3Q+ I was happy I had chickened out, but the combination of Atlanta's idiotic play-calling and Brady being Brady would have made me a double-winner!
