Were there really casuals who thought this game was over?

It was the first handegg game I've watched

Literally turned the TV off after the halftime show thinking the game was over

Yes.

Fundamentally, if a team has a lead like that they're supposed to run the ball exclusively to bleed out the clock taking no risks with the ball whatsoever, and the only points that the opposing team will score are "Garbage time" points that mean nothing in the grand scheme of the game.

The Falcons had won. Grady Jarrett was going to be MVP. And they fucking blew it because of Kyle Shanahan's arrogance.

Not like the Patriots were thrashing them on run defense either. Could have easily had some more dump offs and screens

>>77255223

Poor bastard thought he made it big with an iconic photo, was probably thinking about all the newspaper headlines and stories written with his photo on top.

Now... like tears, in rain...

I went to bed at halftime for work in the morning. At least I got to see the highlights without knowing the result.

I was rooting for the Falcons but when the Pats got within one score and a 2 point conversion I started rooting for the comeback. Still just unbelievable that it happened.

the biggest mistake atlanta made was taking that penalty and sack when they were in FG range with a chance to put the nail in the coffin

instead they got cute, had to punt, and left the slightest of openings.

regular season? almost never matters. against Brady/Bellicheck coached team in the SB? woops

Seeing how they lost the AFC Championship game a year before on a failed 2-point conversion there was doubt for reasonable people. So shut up.

Dear retard, the Broncos' #1 ranked D left Gronk in one on one coverage with a LB who easily beat. Brady must have assumed he would be doubled at least and never looked at him. That's how fast goal line plays happen. The greatest reader of coverages in the history of the sports didn't notice the most dominant red zone player perhaps of all time was uncovered.

To say there was no doubt the Pats would convert is just gay hyperbole. They ran that same play against the Steelers the game prior to SB51 and Hogan dropped the ball. There's no point in hyperbole of this kind. It does make you anymore of a bandwagon fan. So again, shut up please.

Not a single Falcons fan thought that game was over. Atlanta fucking sucks at everything.

>>77255729
since the ball was tipped shouldnt Neal have just tried to smoke Edelman instead of trying to catch the ball?

ausfag here, I was mad as fuck watching a blowout game and fell asleep a few minute into the 3rd quarter, I woke up to;

>GOAT GOAT GOAT
>APOLOGIZE RIGHT
>DID WE JUST WITNESS THE BEST SUPERBOWL EVER
>BRADY GOAT BRADY GOAT
I haven't woken up to news that good in a long long time, everyone trying to nitpick and discredit plays made it so much better too

Pass interference

tons of blame to go around on the Atlanta side, but I might put the most on Sanu taking a really fucking dumb and unnecessary offensive holding

>>77255842
no P.I. on a tipped ball, you can destroy Edelman like he's a blocker

a corner/safety probably always wants to go for the pick on instinct but the situational play there is to hit Edelman

>>77255872
>"I just wanted a challenge"

>>77255865
You could still get a call for defenseless receiver.

i wonder how much differently it would have played out if Blount didnt fumble and Pats scored first

nobody scored in the first quarter and Pats were marching to start the 2nd, already in range for at least 3

heh, nothing personnel Atlanta

>>77255885

It's a good point the guy made but...

>>77255761

It was 1st down, so no. INT probably wins the game for ATL. Incomplete would have been no big deal. 3 more downs to get 10 yards and they had so much time on the clock they ended up getting the ball back after they tied it.

It was a great play but people try to act like it was win or lose on that play - it was not (unless it was picked off)

So fucking tired of having Edelman mic'd up. It was great when he was knocked loopy in SB49 and was telling everyone he loved them in between plays, but he's kind of a moron. They had fucking Blount and him. Blounts the guy who you see hugging whoever the camera is on after every win. He did a good job for us but god I'm glad that attention whore is gone. And yeah, anyone but Edelman mic'd up for SB 52 please.

Kyle Shanahan was so JUST after that game he fucked off to San Francisco

>>77255999
could tell Blunt was devastated after that fumble thinking he's costing his team the SB
