They lead in time of possession the whole game, by a lot. You can't be giving Brady that amount of time because he will make it happen. The Falcons have a roster that can burn clock but they just went for deep throws all game. I think at a certain point they should have switched gears and managed the clock.

Well when you change history, the Patriots would react differently. Who knows, the Falcons might fumble it twice more, leading to Patriots twice more touch downs. In short, anything can happen in a game.

Look at my flair, now back to me, now back to my flair, now back to me. I know from experience that anything can and will happen in the playoffs.
The harder part to believe is even with all the deep throws. Matty Ice connected on 17/23 throws. Missing 6 passes cost the game. He had a 144 qb rating. One drop quite literally cost the game.
The turning point is when the falcons owner came down from the box at halftime so they were on field level for the celebration. The camera shots of them as the 4th quarter progressed were priceless!

Pats got BOTH two point conversions... just insane. And the first of which- the direct snap to White- is a class Pats playcall on the 2-point. Falcons prepared well, but not well enough... that direct HB snap has been in New England's playbook for years.

I assumed that an anon username would be sufficient for me to be able to speak my mind freely, however someone contacted me as told me they know who I am on reddit and linked to some pretty contentious posts I wrote. So I scrubbed everything.
Wow that's pretty messed up. So where do you go from there? Logically I'd say you just make a new account and hope they don't find that one, but do you have any idea how they even found your current account?
I can't believe how sober Kraft was. I expected him to be his normal drunken self and stab Goodell in the heart and whisper, "Tom Brady sends his regards"
I was half expecting Gronk to come out after the first half and them cut to Bill on the sidelines with his classic not smirk smirk. That would be classic Bill faking em out.
Kraft made me look like a fool tonight! Every time they cut to a shot of him I would say how trashed he probably was and that I couldn't wait to hear him speak at the trophy celebration.
He gets up there and you barely hear a mumble in his entire thrashing to Goodell
He was asked on the podium if this championship was the sweetest one, to which he responded with (paraphrasing): "Well, a lot has happened has happened over the last two years...That needs no explanation...YES, this is the sweetest one."

I to be real for a second, those drones tricked me. I could have swore she was standing in front of a green screen or something. That's one of the few times in my life where I was shocked at something I saw on TV. I was sure that was a green screen. I'll honestly never forget this.
I've lived in Boston 3 years now. Saw two SB wins and one loss in the AFC championship game. You would have thought the Patriots were the worst team in the world last year around here. You guys are so damn spoiled haha.
Probably nothing. Meaning, no alternative. They've had pretty much this exact commercial playing in Boston for a half a year or so, except Tom only places the 4 rings in and she immediately says the "we're going to have to get you a bigger locker soon", and without the "Roger that".
So, they'd probably keep playing the old one. Though it is pretty cocky knowing all this, since it is so exactly similar to the old one, I bet they were shot on the same day. Still loving it tho!

He has brought the NFL to the highest highs it has ever seen financially and popularity wise.
He also decided to dish out punishment to players seemingly by what he feels like that day and he's judge, jury, and executioner. He doesn't care about "facts" he has "alternative facts" like "what's going to get people to click or tune in? I'm gonna fine this guy today"
Not to mention the his worst offenses... Brushing huge issues such as domestic violence and concussion risk under the rug until they were exposed by third parties.
Are you shitting me? He just took over the NFL commissioner position in 06, he did absolutely nothing to contribute to the NFL's rise in popularity. It was on the way up until he took over and implemented extra commercial breaks, etc. causing all sorts of issues with the fans.
You are absolutely right about the fines though. He looks at the job of commissioner like a politician looks at raising taxes and fucking over everything and everyone who got them to that position.

Kind of doubtful. I mean he's not corrupt or anything, he's just a shitty commissioner that is focusing too much on turning the game into family friendly flag football with no emotion.
Not him personally obviously, but under his leadership the NFL has funded research and tried to use their position as the funding source to influence the methods and conclusions. Since the fact that football unequivocally causes brain damage hurts the bottom line, they have tried to make patently false claims supported by "data" that say football is perfectly safe.

The most important thing isn't the fact that they lost the super bowl, it's the way it happened. I, like many non-patriots fans, was rooting for the Falcons and I was going crazy about how bad the game was spiraling for them, I can't imagine how it would be to be an actual Falcons fan and witness your team blow the game that badly.
It didn't feel good. I dared to actually start talking shit. But It's weird being a Falcons fan, because we all kind of expect this result, that until the game is over, the Falcons can still lose.
That fucking OT rule scoring rule needs to go and move to the CFB way. A coin flip shouldn't decide the outcome. I've said it before this game and maintain it is a bullshit way to decide the game.

My wife, who doesn't give a fuck about the NFL, was sitting next to me during this Falcons collapse. She had no idea what was going on but she knows enough to say "Wow, if this was the Bears doing this I would probably get a hotel tonight with how your mental state would be, not gonna lie."
I just looked at her and nodded because she wasn't wrong. It strangely made me happy that we were so bad because I think I'd rather win 3 games than to lose to Super Bowl like that.

Flash forward
2/7/2019 - Chicago Tribune:
"Safe And Sorry: Bears lose Super Bowl LIII to Pats by giving up Safety"
Idk man. As a panthers fan since before we lost the first one to the patriots last years run was fun as hell but the crash that came at the end hurt really bad.
Not totally relevant because it's college but I'm an OSU fan and I would take our beating to Clemson 10/10 rather than not making the playoff. Yeah these games sting but so much better to have been in a position to be there than be out of it and irrelevant
Yeah, my favorite colts season in recent memory was when we made it to the afc championship, despite the embarrassingly bad loss to the pats. We beat some tough teams to get there, and luck looked great.
Similarly (and even more so since they made it to the superbowl) this was a great playoff showing by the falcons. Holy hell the nfc was tough this year.
31 years ago, a 12 year old little Toastwaver was banished to the basement during halftime of Super Bowl XX to play ping pong with his brother, because we were laughing at the Patriots being manhandled by the Bears. I wonder if this Pats team could beat that Bears team. I doubt it.
Good on you for still wearing it. Personally i would never change my steelers flair to falcons bandwagon and then right back to steelers after the loss. Nope, never.

My wife goes on to say the game was great since 1st, 2nd, & 3rd were boring periods. I just told her thank god it wasn't the Bears, or our night would be very different.
The cavs game 7 win, this Super Bowl, the cubs win in 7, Federer v Nadal, Serena v Venus, Phelps and bolt in the Olympics, the Villanova buzzer beater, Alabama v Clemson, Leicester winning Barclay's, etc. What's going on in professional sports over the last year?
Yea it was weird being on the edge of my seat, being frustrated and confused at the end of the 4th, being almost heartbroken when they scored that last touchdown, and then remembering "Oh right, I'm a Texans fan."

Don't worry as another Bears fan we will take a defensive player in the draft instead of a QB. When that defensive guy doesn't work out he will be cut by us and signed by the Patriots right before they win a Superbowl.
edit: Never forget we passed on Aaron Rodgers to stick with Rex Grossman.
Teams who get a pick-6 in the Superbowl are now only 12-1.
Teams who have a 11+ point lead in the Superbowl are no longer undefeated.
Teams that held a 19+ point lead at the half in the postseason are now 93-1.
Let all those sink in.
Edit: Turns out I'm wrong. Do research before you speak, kids.
Teams that wear the white jerseys for the Super Bowl are now 12-1 for the last 13 years. (not sure about previous years). Players that win the Regular Season MVP and play in the Super Bowl the same year are now 0-6 (for the last 6 times this occurred)

That second stat is wrong is someway. To start it was 21-3 at half. That's 18 points. Also the Bills Comeback was 28-3 at half against the Houston Oilers.
Hey, baby, you guys kept us from being the only team in the NFC South without a Super Bowl win. Then again, wouldn't be a problem if you hadn't squeaked one out against us in '03. I don't know whether to love you or hate you.
It is a little suspicious that the first thing Tom Brady did after winning was kneel and look down at the ground for a minute. He was obviously thanking Satan for keeping up his end of the bargain.
If the Satan theory is true, it also means Brady, Belichick and Kraft will get one more Super Bowl win so that they'll each have respectively 6,6,6 wins.
I guess that's plausible if they throw in their children's souls as part of the bargain, too.

Easily. NBA, MLB and Super Bowl were all down to the wire and all involved history. Easily one of, if not the best, consecutive run of championships in history.
To the guy who said this Superbowl needed to compete with other finals, it did. Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. Indians blew a 3-1 lead. Falcons blew a 25 point lead as is tradition.

this is actually really incredible, knowing that there's no OT in the previous 50
So I'm certainly not an expert in football management, but I'm totally bamboozled by the way that the Falcons were able to steamroll the Pats for most of the game, but then end up blowing it by apparently making terrible calls. What the hell happened? Then the Pats start running these plays and you could see it in the faces of the Falcons players - they were totally stonefaced and didn't seem to know what to do. Who blew it, and why?
I don't think the Falcons really dominated them. Patriots were driving on them and dominating time of possession even when down 28-3. They just messed up in the red zone twice, one resulting in a pick d.
Siddicus ยท 15 points ยท Posted at 06:16:43 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's the biggest part of it, the Falcons were able to capitalize on the Patriot's mistakes but in the second half when the momentum changed they just didn't make mistakes to capitalize on.
Lots of factors. Coaching adjustments make a difference. Fatigue is a major factor. The Falcons put up a bunch of points quickly, including a defensive score, which resulted in their defense playing for the majority of the game and their offense sitting on the sidelines. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots were building momentum while the Falcons' defense was gassed.
Plus, everything about the Super Bowl is different, and that can mess with a team's rhythm. Halftime is twice as long as a normal football game, longer commercial breaks, etc. Particularly because of halftime, players frequently say that the Super Bowl is like playing two games. So essentially, the Falcons won the first "game," but the Patriots dominated the second.
Seriously. I'm with you (and the other responses...) Falcons kept gashing them, Matty Ice was 17/23, RB's 18 carries for 104 yds, not much you can point to for improvement, but they just couldn't close it out the way they needed to.

All the Pats had to do was miss one of the two point conversions, or not get a touchdown, or turn it over once, or miss the field goal, or miss a tackle, or ...
Everything had to come together for them to come back. They had to execute on every play and they did.
And ATL could have made it even more improbable by requiring NE to get an onside kick recovery also. Just running for no gain twice instead of losing 20 something yards trying to pass it would have probably given them a field goal, making it a 2 possession game with less than 5 minutes to go.

This play was the difference maker!! It was 3rd and 33. Patriots still had 3 timeouts if I'm not mistaken. My thinking was run the RB Draw/Dive, Pick up 1-10 yds and the try to pin NE deep after they call a Timeout. I don't know why they tried passing the ball, I understand they really wanted that field goal to "seal" the game, but to me running the ball just made so much more sense in the grand scheme of things.
It's hard to describe, but as a Falcons/UGA/Braves fan, I just had a feeling we weren't going to win. Even at the start of the fourth quarter, the bad feeling just wouldn't go away.
huh? I think he means the 1st and 10 play or the 2nd and 23. All they had to do was run the ball twice, waste 2 pats time outs or 80 seconds, and kick the FG to make it a 2 possession game with like 2 1/2 mins and no time outs for the Pats.

I recorded the game because we had a late start (TV died, but I could remote into the htpc) and midway through I saw the clock at 8:45 and thought "what if the game goes over? I should record the two shows after to be sure". So glad I did because the first recording ended 1 min before regular time ended.
It should be another 15 minutes no funny rules just new timeouts. I mean doesn't the NFL realize how many more commercials they could run with an extra quarter, so unlike them to blow a chance for more commercials.
Not only the first in over a century, but down 3 to 1 in the series to force a game 7 and that game go into extra innings. This was a hell of a Superbowl, but the world series was nuts.
This is a fact everyone at my house couldn't wrap their heads around. Not only did the Patriots have the greatest comeback ever, but also the first OT in Super Bowl history.

I rooted for the Falcons, because my favorite player for a long time has been Dwight Freeney. A lot of football analysts had him out of the game after he left Indianapolis.
But then he went on the do some good in San Diego, and then went on to be in TWO Super Bowls, in Arizona and now Atlanta.
He was a factor tonight, and even got a sack. Best moment for me...
I wanted Atlanta to win this...
And I thought that they had it in the bag after the first half, but... The Patriots managed the best comeback in the history of the Super Bowl.
I HAVE to give them credit for what they did.
In fact, I stand in AWE of what they did tonight.
First overtime in history. First five time winner in history. Biggest comeback in history...

That's the big difference. The Warriors were the all time greatest regular season team in NBA history led by the first ever undisputed MVP.

Yeah this game while great was a blow out in both halfs with ATL dominating one half and NE the other. There was no back and forth like the Cavs Warriors.
Game 7 of the World Series was better IMO. Two tortured franchises. A blown 4-1 lead, multiple blown leads and rallies in extra innings. Probably the best baseball game I've ever seen.
i wouldn't call it better, it was pretty shitty to watch. old archaic nfl OT rules pretty much ruined it. hey, let's decide who are the champions based off a coinflip! yeah, seems fair boss! ... yeah, no fuck that shit. nfl ratings will continue to go down, mark my words.
Warriors blowing the 3-1 was more satisfying though, because they were the team, winning 73 games in the regular season, then choking it. It was remarkable. And it happened along 3 games, so it happened slowly and clinically and beautifully. Edit: not to mention, "The Block" and "the 3". It had the moments too.
Its at least close with the finals. Maybe its my Ohio native and Cavs fan bias but the way the state felt after that was absolutely insane. I wept like a baby.
A comeback like this in a single game is incredibly impressive, and more fun since it's just one game, but there's no way it's better than the Cavs comeback. They won three straight against the greatest NBA team ever, judging off regular season record.
Regardless, the NBA, MLB, and NFL just had three unforgettable championships in the past year. That's the best part of all

Villy, Chicago, and Clemson all won on the last play of the game. The Cavs went into the final minute of the final quarter of the final game against the best team in history tied at 89 and 699 in the series, coming back from 3-1. You even have a defining play for it all, "The Block." And yet, somehow, that was only the fourth best Championship game in this past year.
Stupid Penguins, being efficient and shit, winning a game early and not providing us with a storybook ending.
Honestly I think the world series was the best, I mean two teams with huge championship droughts going to 10 innings with constant back and forth scoring can't really be beat. This game is definitely up the though
That's like having a 3 point lead at the start of the 4th quarter though. This was more like down 2 sets to none and 2 breaks

from a Federer fan's standpoint:
before 2017 Australian Open
Nadal is 23-11 lifetime against Federer (13-2 on clay, 1-2 on grass -> 9-7 on hard courts; slightly giving Nadal edge on hard courts)
The last thing as a Federer fan you want to see in a 5th set match between the two is Federer down a break* in the 5th
*theoretically all Nadal had to do was hold serve in the 5th set to capture the AO
note: going into the AO, Federer had 17 Grand Slam titles while Nadal has 14 Grand Slam titles; Federer has the most all time but if Nadal won the AO, theoretically Nadal would have won the French Open -> one step closer to tying Federer -> one step closer to surpassing Federer; let's just say there was a lot of pressure both ways on that 5th set lead
Just no. Up one break in the fifth set is nowhere close to being up 19 points halfway through the 3rd quarter.

Federer's last Slam won was Wimbledon 2012 (~5 years). Prior to AO, Federer had taken off 6 months of competing and convinced his doctor to allow him to compete in AO and in his own words, "I'll leave it all out here in Australia and if I can't walk again for another five months, that's ok." He's age 35 and never thought he would make it deep into the AO let alone win it all.
Majority would tend to agree on "Nadal's playstyle is the counter for Federer's playstyle regardless of what court played on"
It's how it usually is. One of tennis's most popular jokes is how Nadal is the counter to Federer and with the numbers/statistics to back it up. Nadal has all the necessary tools to quietly finish the match of all matches in the possibly last Tennis GOAT match - Federer v. Nadal rivalry. Nadal is known for clay "once considered to be the slowest surface" and Federer was known for his grass play "once considered to be the fastest surface". The AO took place on "neutral" hard court. Their 10+ year rivalry culminated with this Grand Slam.
Down 1-3 Federer won 5 straight games to win the AO. He made the necessary adjustments to counter his lifetime biggest foe. Federer mentioned, he may have faced Nadal too many times on clay early on in their careers (2-13) which gave him a Nadal complex. Federer will admit Nadal has been a solid counter to him. Is it just a single break Nadal was up on Federer? yes. Does Nadal have all the tools necessary to pull off a comfortable/quiet win over Federer in the 5th set? 10+ years of rivalry would point in Nadal's favor. But Federer did it...that mad man

Goddamn it. I've been saying it was all about the upsets. I thought that meant the Falcons were going to beat the Pats. I totally misread the tea leaves.

The only thing that would make tonight better would be if Roger Goodell passed a kidney stone when he goes to the bathroom right before he has to hand Brady the trophy.
It's widely believed among most Pats fans (and a lot of other people as well) that Brady's 4 game suspension was wildly disproportional to the "crime" of deflating footballs, provided that you believe he even deflated them in the first place (which is highly debatable).
A lot of people think Goodell had a lot of heat from NFL owners to "punish" the patriots because they'd gotten off too easily in the past, and therefore Deflategate was an overblown (pun intended) witch hunt designed to cater to the other owners. He also apparently led Kraft to believe he wasn't going to target Brady in the investigation, leading Kraft to sort of step aside, only for Brady to be targeted anyway.
Goodell is blamed for dishing out completely arbitrary and inconsistent punishments throughout the league, and is hated pretty unilaterally by most teams.
So... fuck Goodell.

The best thing about that is that yeah, Gary's presided over three lockouts, but there's no real reason to boo him in the same sense there is for Goodel. It's just what you do in hockey. You boo Bettman.
It was a heavy punishment that did not fit the crime, which the occurrence of is still highly debatabledeflatable.
Brady essentially got suspended for four games for failing to cooperate, which is kind of ridiculous given the context of the "ordeal".
Additionally, teams and fans across the league hate Goodell unanimously for his dictatorial style of being commissioner, fining players for domestic battery issues but suspending them for seasons for pot use. Also, this year saw a pretty significant increase in the calls for excessive celebration, which no one wants to see become a thing; that's also at his hands. He's hypocritical, unfair, and completely unchallenged.
Just the simple act of automatically putting your hands underneath the ball so that it doesn't hit the ground. That's just a lifetime of training/skill that has become instinctual.

it's a muscle memory thing I think, at least to a degree. There's also something to be said about studies that show athletes being able to track ball movement and things like that much better than the average person. Still, there's certainly some luck involved but without a fair amount of skill that catch doesn't get made.

Falcons had a chance to put this game away.
4 minutes left, had the ball in field goal range. Tried to throw the ball, took a sack. Tried to throw again, holding call. Got pushed out of field goal range. If they just run it twice it's an 11 point game with 3:30 left and new england would have been out of timeouts.

Is it worse because the Seahawks should have ran it once and fucked up...
... Or is worse because the Falcons had three opportunities in field goal range to put the game way out of reach and literally everything that could have gone wrong did.
They could have ran the ball into the center's butt three times and still drained the clock and kicked a FG. Man oh man. Awful. That's gonna haunt Falcons fans.
They couldnt. Belichek took the run away. First half was a brutal gamble but as you saw the game unfold you saw a plan taking place. Belichek was thinking towards the end of the game while the falcons were thinking for the start.
I think there was a stat where falcons had the ball 2 minutes less but led by 14. Impressive but doesnt help you burn clock

It was honestly the right call. Beast Mode was only 20% from the 1 yard line on the season. Butler just made a freak play.
All thanks to an incredible initial tackle by Michael Huff. I'm a biased Texas fan, but that is still the greatest college game ever played, in my humble opinion. I figured UT was fucked when they were down by 12 with only 6 minutes left and lost their starting DB. Yet, I wasn't surprised that VY won it, and when it was 4th down and goal I didn't have a doubt in my mind that he was gonna score. I also thought he was robbed of the Heisman that year. Which remind me, Bush had to give his up, so WHERE'S VINCE'S TROPHY?!? jk

I watched the season start with the Patriots killing a bird in Glendale and the season end with another bird dead in Houston. No bird is safe from the Patriots.
My whole life considering I'm from Seattle and still live here. I started really following them when I was about 12, which just so happened to be the year Russ was drafted. Although I do remember going to a super bowl 40 party with family and friends.
Which we did on 1st down. Historically we aren't exactly the best in goal-line situations even before that play.
Mixing it up was a good idea to throw the patriots off guard, Butler just made a great play.
I said the same thing in /r/patriots. After that catch, I knew it was over. Who wouldn't run the ball up the middle three times and just kick the field goal to put the game pretty much out of reach.
You run the ball and get stuffed a couple times and give the ball back. At least then you "did the right thing" and aren't kicking yourself for the off season with "what if I threw it away" or whatever.

And when you run it and fumble, get stuffed, or miss the field goal, all you would hear is "they didn't stick with what got them here!" You can't look at decisions like these with rose colored glasses. In the moment, I remember thinking, yes, this is how you beat the pats. It's unfortunate that they took a couple dumb penalties and a bad sack, but look what happened when they gave the pats the slimmest of chances. Falcons knew the only way you beat the pats is to stay on the gas til game over... They just came up about 5 minutes short. Hell of a game, hell of a year, and this surely isn't the last you'll be hearing from this stacked falcons squad.
They were running all over the pats also. They could have easily run it

I think you're right, but just playing devil's advocate, if they went run, run, missed field goal, we'd all be talking about they took their foot off the gas.
But if they miss the FG and the Pats win, the coach would be torn to shreds for getting too conservative when you have such an incredible passing attack.

The first plays of that drive were a 39-yard-pass, a 2-yard rush, and a 27-yard pass. This puts them in FG range at NE-22 with 4:40 left (39 yard FG). They don't want a quick FG. They want a TD or to at least milk the clock with a longer drive. They want another first down. Running three times and kicking a FG, still gives Pats a chance to win with two TDs (via onside kick) with three timeouts.
Sure, in hindsight running makes sense in FG range, but one pass attempt also makes sense on 2nd down as the Falcons running game was shut down in the second half. Second half rushes went for -3, 5, 0, 9, -3, -1 (became -10 yard holding penalty), 8, 1, 2, and -1. Only 3 of 10 plays were positive, and averaged about 0.8 yards per rush. Meanwhile Ryan's had been having success throwing the ball (to get into FG range).
On first play in FG range, they lose a yard running the ball. Trying to keep drive alive (to milk clock), they tried another pass but Ryan and the Oline failed the team by losing 12-yards on a sack. Now it's a 52-yard FG, which is not a safe thing (and you don't want to give the Pats the ball back at midfield if the long FG is missed). From there the play calling seemed reasonable (another pass as a missed 52-yarder gives Pats excellent field position). They call a safe pass to get back into easy FG range on 3rd and 23, but get a holding penalty (and then again screw up on 3rd and 33).
There is a logic there. Quinn and Shanahan didn't want to start running a "prevent" offense where they predictably switch to a 1-dimensional offense that isn't working.
Running three times and kicking a FG, still gives Pats a chance to win with two TDs (via onside kick) with three timeouts.
I dont post in this sub at all but god damn what a stupid post. Youre acting like being down two scores with 3 min left or 1 timeout isnt basically a fucking death sentence. you think going back and looking up a couple stats makes you sound smart - it dont, cheech.
2 runs from the 22 and FG. Games over. gtfo with your onside kick shit
djimbob ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:33:38 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Two more short/negative runs from the 22 (Pats expecting time-consuming rush), Pats use their timeouts, keep the clock at ~4:00 minutes and Atlanta kicks a ~40 yard FG. And again, they did have an offensive holding penalty against them on a run on the previous drive, so it's not like a sack on a pass play was the only way they'd get driven out of safe FG range.
Sure down 11 points late in a game you are very unlikely to win (just like being down 8 with other team possessing the ball late or down 25 near end of third quarter). But onside kicks can happen and it doesn't end the game like a TD drive that makes it a 15 pt game with under 2 minutes and all Pats timeouts off the clock (like if they got a few more 1st downs).
Yea yea shut up jim bob. You think a single anecdote proves they made the right decision? Pretty dumb dude. How many times have comebacks NOT happened in that situation? Without that information, no analysis can be made, jim bob. You gotta think about these things, jim bob. Can't prove a decision is right just because of one time something happened, jim bob.
The falcons also had 3 plays in a row, clock running, where Ryan snapped it with :21, :17, and :15 left on the play clock. Say whatever the fuck you want. The falcons gave the game away. You dont snap with +10 seconds left on the play clock and you run inside or kneel on those last two plays.
djimbob ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:12:31 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
21 seconds + 17 seconds + 15 seconds = 53 seconds.
Patriots scored the TD to tie with 2pt conversion with a minute and two timeouts left.
By not fully using the play clock, they have the chance to do hard count and get an offsides for free five yards.
Yes, the Falcons gave the game away by not executing on offense and defense when they need one more great play to win. They didn't get third down conversions when they needed them on offense (or even just to get back in comfortable FG range) and didn't have 3rd/4th down defensive stops when they needed them. They allowed two needed 2pt conversions, they did nothing on their offensive drive with a chance to get game winning FG (with 57 seconds).
You can't look back in hindsight and say DUMBEST play call ever, because a relatively unlikely outcomes (9 yard sack then 10 yard holding penalty) moves them out of FG range.
jim, i didnt say dumbest play ever. I said one of the dumbest posts ever. are you seriously advocating for not using the full play clock when your trying to run a game out? are you fucking serious right now jim bob? that its better to try to get offsides with hard counts then it is to run the clock down?
thats fucking genius jim. call all the NFL offices right now. Its better to hope for offsides! everyones been wrong all along! every fucking post you have a new stroke of genius! thanks jim. taking time off the clock isnt worth it - hoping for an offsides is way more valuable. youre so smart

The post I was responding to was calling this the pass play in FG range (that resulted in the sack to put them on cusp of FG range, and then the next pass play with the holding penalty to put well out of FG range) the "worst playcall in history".
The pass play calls are totally justifiable. The odds of a 10 yard pass play sack are small. Yes, they executed horribly. Sure you score a FG on consecutive runs, Pats have only a 3% chance of winning. But they were starting with an 8% chance of winning with no FG.
Did you complain when the Falcons were up 16 in 4th quarter in Seattle and ran three pass plays that only took 6 seconds off the clock?
The reason the Falcons lost isn't clock management or play calling. It's no second half execution when it was needed most as well as great 4th quarter/OT execution on the Pats offense and 3rd/4th quarter execution by Pats defense.
jim your dumb dumb dumb. as the game gets later the strategy changes. im sure thats a shock to you. given score and field position - you dont fucking pass there. fuck you saying how it worked when they passed EARLIER. you do realize that was an EARLIER time in the game, right jim? do ya get that jim bob? different field position jim? have you heard of field position jim bob?
And you conveniently are not responding to your idea that its better to try to get teams to jump offsides then run the clock down. Are you SURE thats right jim bob? or are you just saying fucking anything to be right? throwing shit at the wall right jim bob? see what stick jim bob?
running time off the clock is the way better call jim. stop talking about football. if you cant get that simple concept, then just stop. never speak about football again

to be fair, the holding call should've been offset by a facemask and replayed the down. from there, it's still a decent shot at a field goal to go up by eleven.
still, run the fucking ball 3 times and kick the field goal is right.
I watched that play Slow mo and it looks like both guys are grabbing each other's facemask, so those would offset. But falcons just needed to run the ball there
No, he said the Holding call and the Facemask penalty should have offset. What I am saying is there was a facemask on both the falcons and the Patriots on that play, in addition to the holding. So the 2 facemask calls offset; but the Falcons should still get called for holding
Nope, if both teams are called for one or more penalties then ALL penalties are nullified and the play resets. Can be offsides on one team and the other team throws a hundred punches, the penalties would still offset.
Really? Did not know it worked like that. Regardless though, don't you think there's a possibility that the referee didn't call facemask at all because he saw that both players did it?
That shouldn't affect whether or not he makes the call. The penalties occurred, so you call the penalties. We have an actual system for penalties negating eachother, it's not the referee's place to take it into their own hands.

Usually, I forget about most plays/drives in games that people talk about for weeks and months. I'm pretty sure I'll remember that drive for a long time though.

Hindsight bias. If Matt Ryan hit a few more lasers you'd be saying, "Wow couldn't stop that guy. They really put the Patriots away with that drive. Flawless."
This. I was baffled by that as well. Calling a pass play there opened up the possibility of taking a sack and falling out of FG range. Not to mention a possible incompletion and stopping the clock even if he doesn't take a sack. Offensive coordinator would like that series back. That's not the only reason they lost though.....
should be top comment.... horrible coaching.... horrible decision making by Ryan... one simple field goal and the game is essentially over.... they played clock management, had the exact scenario they needed and were playing for and simply choked undeniably in the very easy moment they were given to put the game away... sucks for them so bad.
The same way you decide to throw the ball in the end zone for a interception instead of handing it to one of the best running backs in the league. It's called choking.
I guess teams just like to pass vs us. Not sure why but I'll take the W.

It was poor play calling from the coach or hell even Matt Ryan I am going to audible regardless to a run and make my kicker earn his keep from 54 yards after the sack so im guessing about 48-45 yards before the sack and the penalty just made it a non option.
There was no reason to throw from a clock management standpoint or a situational point of view either. Any points at the time would have ended the game

I was shouting at my tv. Horrendous play call - especially when you want to play conservative and the run game had been working - more than enough to get you the yards to get within field goal range.
Its even worse, every time Ratt Myan had the ball late he would snap with :10-:15 left on the clock.
They win if he simply bleeds the clock to the end of the playclock. They deserved to lose for their stupidity and cockiness. Blank was down on the field like a clown sometime in the middle of the 2nd half to celebrate. Instead he got cucked.

They have an MVP quarterback. You have to be able to trust him. He's just gotta know to throw that away, I have to imagine that's a situation where it's just "first read or throw away" kind of thing. I dunno. It's brutal.

Bill Belichick actually has a cursed statue of Andy Reid that he made from stone from Machu Picchu that he uses to force opposing coaches to fuck up in key games. It's why the Seahawks passed for the Butler INT.
That whole drive making me nuts. Ryan was snapping the ball with 20-25 second on the clock. Why not take it down to 5 and give the Pats less time, you know just in case?

On the bright side, the only way you MADE one of those SBs was with your second string QB and running back coming back from a 35-3 deficit in the third fucking quarter. That was the biggest comeback of all time.
I wanted to see Moon and the run and shoot in the Superbowl, kinda bitter about it still. The Oilers surely would have lost but it'd have been a better Superbowl than the one we got.
While losing to Brady is a very bills thing to do, it's not unique to them. In fact Atlanta has never beaten Tom, so in that aspect they're actually WORSE than the Bills.

Real talk, I've never gave a damn about football. Last full NFL broadcast I viewed was the infamous Janet Jackson(?) wardrobe malfunction of whenever.
I watched this game because the Falcons are my hometown heros. Come the beginning of the 3rd quarter, my heart had never felt like that in 24 years. The hype was palpable, it felt like history in the making, I couldn't believe how I was feeling. So much hype. But they threw it all away.
I spent eight fucking hours in a god damn sport bar just to root for the hometown heroes and they managed to throw it all away.
I can honestly say this is heartbreak I've never felt before in 24 years, and I don't EVEN CARE about football. It was that heartbreaking.
I'm going to stick to competitive gaming (aka eSports) because FUCK MAN, I don't see how anyone can put up with this heartache. I never want to feel this way again.
I still think about not being able to convert 1st and goal against the Ravens. Also the punt fumble against the Giants...and that Seattle playoff loss...and now the organization is terrible.
As much as it pains me to say it, I think I'm just going to completely sit out next NFL season.
I honestly can't do it with this team anymore: they are heartbreak given physical form. It wasn't enough for us to blow a 17 point lead in the NFCCG in 2012. Oh no, we had to double-down and blow a 25 point lead in the SUPER BOWL.
The saddest thing about this is I have absolutely no idea how the team will play next year. We could go 19-0 or go 1-15, and neither one would surprise me.
When I was a kid I use to see bumper stickers that read, "Go Braves! And take the Falcons with you!" That went away when the Bravse got good in the 90's but after tonight I wonder how soon we will see these again.
Being a UK can fan I don't get a lot of the Atlanta references. I lived through the Vick/Petrino disaster and many this side of the pond told me to switch teams (for the Patriots - glory supporters pop-up everywhere). I thought my loyalty had been rewarded, but man does this hurt.
The Pats won fair and square but I still hate OT rules. When the best offenses play the coin toss is still a major factor. The result probably would've been the same but both teams deserve the chance to attack if it reaches overtime.
This game is leaving a massive scar on the Falcons. Some things never heal fully but I'll continue supporting and hope for the best. Go Falcons!

God, I wanna talk shit so badly but the falcons played so well to put the Patriots in that position the first place so I can't even. Great game played by both sides. Unfortunate what happened to the Falcons. Congrats to the greatest sports dynasty ever!
1) Matty Ice played like Matty Slush. Look at his eyes and body language, then look at Brady's. Lots of slightly off target throws, zero pocket awareness and situation management.
2) Falcons were the more talented team, could've put up 42, but got complacent at 28. DeVonta, Coleman, Julio, Alford and the defense as a whole were incredible. So much team speed.
3) But like Alabama, any defense will get tired when it's on the field for that many plays. Towards the end, Brady was just carving a cake. Opened 6/6 in OT.
4) James White is the Patriotsiest player I think I've ever seen.

It really is an analogy for the civil war. At first the war was going well for the south. Then the north started to win and finally burned Atlanta to the ground.
Man, no shit. I fell in love with Atalanta about two years ago. Switched totally from Titans to Falcons/Hawks. Loving it. Me-"Holy shit! Going to the super bowl in my first ~30 games as a Falcons fan. I'm good luck!" My CFB team, bama(I have lived in Tuscaloosa, AL most of my life) loses the natty is the final seconds; blowing a big lead. Then, same season, my newish pro team blows a 28 point lead in the 4th.
Guess Marty's ice melted in the second half... Fuck me
Rough calcs show 128 passing yards for the Falcons in the 2nd half. Google says 260' for the height of NRG stadium, likely to the topmost point. Gaga jumped off of the catwalk, so not even 260'. Even so, that would be 86 yards, which would mean my statement is just hyperbole. Perhaps with YAC factored out of the equation it might be true, but I don't have the patience for that haha.
That's what I was thinking g the whole time and I don't even watch Erica football. I was like, "can they not take advantage of the time range to snap?"
I didn't believe it had happened either. This was back in Madden 15 so I changed all the ratings and changed everyone's speed and strength to 99. Cheating I know but I wanted to try it. It was fun!

Madden Troll style. 21 point lead, milk the clock running the ball to piss little Timmy off, then start kneeling the ball every time you get into FG range.
the seahaws have to convert/gain 2 yards/get to the endzone to win the game
the falcons only needed to kneel the ball and take a field goal to pretty much seal the game with 11 point lead which will probably leave 2 mins in the game.
I was just talking about the single "pass or run" decision. Seahawks deciding to throw and get picked instantly cost them the Superbowl. Falcons deciding to throw then throw then throw cost them a chance to end the game but they still had more time to prevent the pats from winning.
Also on the fumble it's 3rd and 1 just run and if you don't make it the Pats would've had to drive a majority of the field killing way more time

Not really, running for the Seahawks didn't necessarily win them the game, plus the Pats probably were expecting the run so trying a pass wasn't crazy, though better to throw a corner route maybe, less risky.
Falcons could have run for no gain and still won the game on that drive with a FG, worse playcalling there imo.
The Seahawks had to pass at least once on either 2nd down or 3rd because they didn't have enough timeouts. If they ran on 2nd, they would be forced to throw on 3rd. The Patriots had their run personnel on the field on 2nd down, so they figured their odds were better to throw, and they were-- it didn't turn out the way they wanted, but statistically it was the best move.
shabinka ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 05:33:19 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The Falcons could had missed the FG..... It's not a guarentee that they make it......
I hope the 49ers like what their getting because this is Kyle Shanahan in a nutshell, refuses to do the simple and safe when that's all the situation calls for. It happened all the time with the Redskins and it came out here too.
Hindsight is 20/20, could've missed the field goal and then you just got conservative and handed brady the game. That being said, yeah they choked it away.
Even if they missed the field goal it would've spent more time off the clock running it and had better field position on defense. Yeah it is easy to look back and say what you could've done but to me this was obvious when they got to the 22 not after.
I didn't mean kick a field goal after the sack and holding penalty. I meant kick it after 3 runs which should of netted at least a couple yards(though it could have resulted in a loss too) so if they missed they would've gotten it on the 22 if they didn't manage to lose or gain any yards.
True but why not go towards wasting more time off the clock and keeping it as safe as possible in the Super Bowl. Field goals aren't a sure thing that's for certain over the past couple of years but still a better choice.

"One to keep the greatest super bowl comeback alive"
AFTER being overthrown all game. At that point i feel like there were at least 3 plays where he was wide open and Brady just straight up missed him. I don't watch a ton of Patriots football but I've never seen a receiver more frustrated with Tom Brady than Edelman in that game. When McDaniels started realizing the connection wasn't there today and they started branching out to bit role players to move the ball, all I could think was 'Edelman's going to make the biggest play of the game out of nowhere'. Fuck the helmet catch, fuck Santonio homes, that was the most incredible catch in super bowl history.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 06:08:49 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Ya the Helmet catch was the more incredible all around play because it started with Eli breaking free from a game ending sack and then putting the ball up leading to the catch; where as this one was Brady protected thrown to Edelman, but the actual catches I can't even tell which one was more amazing, going to take some time to process

pats fan but I think the fact that the helmet catch was made by some jobber who never caught another pass in the league to derail a perfect seasons probably takes the cake.
Ya but I also forgot until I re watched the game a few days ago that Tyree also caught our first touchdown that game, so an unkown receiver coming up huge to upset the perfect season

Forgot that also, let's agree then the helmet catch outweighs the cleat catch. And I'm so happy that I can say that and not feel a sting at all.
Edit: also I'd like to note that only Eli manning has beaten Brady in Superbowls and those are also his only super bowl wins... I mean what the fuck right?

or he just understands that both catches were better than the Tyree helmet catch. Julio basically had to kick the ground full force from an in air horizontal position to make that catch. That was the tits. Edelman's catch was a tipped pass that had everyone thinking it would be another interception before he somehow came up with it (with the ball in clear sight, no less. Adding more drama when watching the replay when people could see how truly amazing it was).
TLDR; I hope Edelman gets laid on snapchat again tonight.
It's kind of funny. The Julio catch is honestly one of the best throw-catch combinations, right up there with Manning-Manningham for me.
In both the Brady-Edelman and Eli-Tyree throws, the throws themselves were pretty bad. Eli's was a 1 on 1 jump ball in the middle of the field while Brady's actually gets tipped up and had a real chance at getting intercepted. However, the WR ends up making a ridiculous catch on the ball that plays a huge role in leading a comeback. it's always tough to judge which is a "better" catch: The technically amazing one or the absolutely unbelievable one.
Vitefish ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 04:39:28 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The way I see it, the more impressive catches are the ones on bad throws. If the QB threw it perfectly, then the WR wouldn't have to make as good of a catch, he'd simply be there.
I mean Ryan threw that ball in the only spot that was really an option with how he was moving. If he throws it just a few inches lower it's at least tipped. Perfectly thrown ball that still required an amazing catch.
It's just that fucking body balance is incredible.
Vitefish ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 05:04:15 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Fair enough, in that play specifically I agree with you. It's hard to judge for me, Julio's catch was really something, but I have to give the edge to Edelman's catch just for its uniqueness, both in execution and situation.
I always hate when people bring up the Manningham and Tyree catches in the same sentence, one was clearly 95% fluke and the other was just 95% skill. Kearse catch and Edelman ones were 90% fluke but that Julio one was just mad skills.
SynSity ยท 24 points ยท Posted at 04:08:52 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I saw Tyree and I saw Manningham, but whenever I see a great catch I love to yell THAT'S THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. The Julio one was great, but Edelman's may actually be the greatest catch I've ever seen. It was unique in such a tremendous way. Literally had someone's leg between his arms and the ball 1/2 an inch off the ground and somehow he keeps control of it.
Edelman's catch was great, but it was great because of the context. It took great concentration, but it was no where near as athletic of a catch as Julio's. Julio's had my jaw on the floor.
Let me get real bitter for a second due to obvious circumstances. Julio's catch was insane because when the ball was thrown, it looked like no human was catching that and then Julio caught the fuck out of it. That Edelman shit was tip luck on top of skill on top of luck on top of skill. Edelman's catch was insane but let us have something from this horrible superbowl goddamnit.
Lol I honestly thought that catch sealed the game. Whoever made the call to throw the ball when you guys were in field goal range mid 4th Q should probably stay inside for a while.
Am I the only one that still thinks OBJ's catch is the greatest? It was the one that made me say "HOLY SHIT DID HE CATCH THAT??" while I was alone in a hotel room.

Any excuse to replay the helmet catch. They did the same thing near the end of SB 49.
I actually agree with you. Why people started downplaying his catch the past year or two, I'll never know. He caught it with 3 fingers, way over his head, while being slowed down because of pass interference. Sure it wasn't a playoff game, but as far as sheer amazingness, I think it's still the greatest catch.
Jones' catch was far better. It involved every single skill you'd want in an elite wide receiver. Ball location, strong hands, sideline awareness, and jumping. Edelman's was a fluke play that should've been intercepted. That's not to diminish the insane amount of reflexes and awareness he needed to make the catch, but Julio's is probably the second greatest catch I've seen, behind Tyree's

It's true, Edelmans catch was the best in the game tho, Jones still the best WR tho.
honestly, anyone that knows the game of football knows that julios catch should have ended the game. It put them in field goal range and too much time for the pats to catch up. but then they took a sack, and then they took a hold...
in the coming weeks The roses on Shanahan and Quinn wil start to shrivel up and people will wise up and ask WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THROW THE BALL WITH ~3 MINUTES LEFT AND IN FIELD GOAL RANGE.
That Julio Catch Should have iced the game. Sack + Hold later, and suddenly tom has the ball with 3 minutes left
I'd say the Jones catch would be more like the Marcus Paige three in the NCAA championship. Everyone will remember it because it was extraordinary but ultimately not THE moment the game was decided.
When Julio caught that ball I was like wtf why do we always lose to stupid great catches. Then the defence stepped up BIG

Holy shit, I basically only watch Superbowls, have very little clue in the way of football and get most of my knowledge from what my two friends who watch regularly tell me.
We watched it in "our" pub and holy motherfucking shit was that last quarter tense. Me and my buddy were basically the only ones rooting for the Patriots (I guess that's not cool around here?) and we had to take so much shit.
Seeing the last quarter - even with my limited understanding of the game - was fucking intense. I knew there was history being written and that this performance was incredible. The potential for meme-ery is unparalleled for quite a bit. I'm happy I stayed because I legit thought about leaving in the third quarter. Happy to be a very small part of history, lol.

Wait - You only watch Super Bowls, meaning you aren't a huge football fan (totally fine) but one time when you do - you root for the fucking Patriots!???!!???
It's like the people who don't watch soccer but root for Messi/Ronaldo when they see them on TV. Or against them, for the same reason.

Not really. He'd have to close at 4am. But we know him pretty well (I'd even consider the dude a friend) and he often does private "parties", without officially being open. That's one of the perks of spending quite some time in your pub - being on the short list for such occasions.
Unless you live in Massachusetts, you'll find that rooting for the Patriots isn't cool. Such is life, but haters gonna hate so I don't pay much attention to that noise.
Regardless of the sport or league, root for who you want to root for. In the end, (probably controversial to say this in a sports sub but) it is just a game.

Ah yeah, that 75 yard drive for a touchdown in the third and that 72 yard drive in the beginning of the fourth for a field goal didn't happen. Forgot to forget those.
did you not read? i just said all of that happened because of the team momentum. not brady. football is a momentum based game, the worst team in the league can beat the best if they have momentum. Brady made several bad passes that couldve been intercepted that werent because the defense had no momentum and were shook.
i stopped watching with 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter..i'm such an idiot. how is this even possible is tom brady real

It was like Rocky IV where the invincible Red opponent is beating the crap out of the blue opponent. And the channcelor is like "How come they haven't won yet?" Even in the fourth quarter. And the Patriots like Rocky pull a win out of their ass and "chop" the Falcons down.
I was guilty too. I stopped watching at half time. We angered the Brady with our lack of worship. Black magic flowed through he and Belicheck, and lo, did falcons fall from the sky.

I hope you learned your lesson, you NEVER leave until at least the end of the 3rd, even if it's like 35-0, shit like this happens.
German here. The game started at 00:30 in the night here. Half time was around 2:30. I had to work (no free day taken since the Packers didn't play) so I said fuck it it's over anyway after the Falcons scored the 28-3. I'll get some sleep at least. The game's clearly over.
I almost did the same after half but my wife said let's watch the first drive, then the response. Next thing we knew it was tied and we were telling ourselves how glad we stayed. I will always remember watching greatness with my entire family in 2017.
I thought so ahaha, Uni/College it's like "how bad will missing one lecture be" 2 months later and you're scrambling to hand coursework worth 50% of the grade. Love it.
Yeah I try not to miss more than 3 classes a semester, but that's just because there is an attendance grade. I think that's bullshit. If I can make good grades while missing classes, then that means the lectures weren't as important as they think haha.
I actually thought it was a really exciting game the whole way through. The offenses and defenses went blow-for-blow, not giving any ground. Then amazing plays started happening and continued to the end.

Recency bias denies it, but most of the Super Bowls were one-sided. This game wasn't any different for the first half, but don't let this distract you from the fact that the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead.

Exactly, this entire year has been boring blowouts, including almost all the playoffs. I thought this would be yet another one, and my brother actually stopped watching until I texted him that he better turn it back asap.
I know. It went from a blowout in the making, to "OK, I guess it will be sort of close", to "I guess the Patriots will keep this to 4 or less points like all of the other BB superbowls, to "OMG, they could actually tie this up", to "OMG, they tied this up", to "holy fuck they just won", and that all happened in like 10 minutes.
I live in Europe, and was staying up late to see Brady win his 5th. Went to bed late when the Pats were down by 25 and all hope was lost.
And now I've just woken up to this.

Our Fox Sports stream cut out and when it came back...BOOM! EXCITING GAME!
What really sucked was the stream crashed for the first bit of the 4th quarter, right when the momentum was shifting, so I missed a lot of that. Came back and it was 20-28, and I'm like "wtf"
It was boring in two directions, the patriots were awful to start the game, the Falcons were awful to finish it. Brady had probably the best individual performance I've ever seen in a Superbowl, but that doesn't make up for the other boring aspects of the game.
The game wasn't boring except for the score. It was a really good game up to that point in terms of great offensive and defensive plays, it was just a lopsided score.

Patriots fans booing him for suspending Tom Brady for 4 games related too Deflategate. It was a controversial suspension, and the Patriots fans feel like Goodell intentionally tries to stack the deck against them.
Edit: To clarify, I'm not suggesting only Patriots fans dislike him. But since this person asked why he was being booed by Patriots fans here, I answered why specifically they would boo him.
Not only that but he's been, by far, the worst commissioner there is, making terrible rule changes, handle situations and cases very poorly, an being extremely biased to his owner buddies of certain franchises. The whole world (virtually) want him gone. He's done nothing right.

Shout out to the refs. I honestly can't think of one botched call that determined the games outcome. Outside of some jersey holds that were extremely difficult to spot, really solid call, let the men play ball.
That ref that called Eldlemans catch deserves a raise.

yeah man, good point. refs don't get enough love when they do it right.
Ya I'm a pats fan and I could have sworn I saw it bounce off the ground. I was certain it would be overturned. Then I saw the replay and I couldn't believe my eyes.
That tiny little hover when both hands are off the ball and it's like half an inch off the ground, I thought for sure it was gonna hit. Then he smacks his hands together and even gets one under the ball, just so there's no question whether or not it's a catch.
No, the refs called it like illegal formation because you're not allowed to line up in front of the center before the snap but the argument was he was in front of the guard.

Well, I'm pretty sure Belichick was extremely upset about that penalty on the extra point attempt. Not 100% sure if it was a botched call because I didn't look into it too much, but from what I saw, I don't think it should have been a penalty. Meaning the pats would have had one less point to deal with.*
That doesn't make sense. If the Pats were down by 7 instead of 8 before they scored their last touchdown in regulation, they wouldn't have gone for two.
ndolan0 ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 06:23:33 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, you are right. But still, seems like a pretty bad call by the refs.
lol there was a post in /r/falcons - complaining about "the most lopsided officiating I have ever seen". The refs were on point tonight, they let them play, called the obvious stuff.
Yeah, don't tell Falcons fans that the refs were good. The only words that are coming out of Falcons fans mouths right now are, "That bunch of officials should never be allowed to wear the stripes again."
That's a great point. For all the complaining we do when they screw things up, it's only fair to give them credit for doing their jobs very well when it mattered the most.
Also yes, I thought there was no way that was a catch before the replay, and it was a great reminder of how good the eyes on a well trained ref actually are.
I'm still annoyed that the side judge, not the back judge threw the flag on the lined up over the center on the PAT. When he clearly wasn't. I felt that could have lent itself to a different tone for the 1H.
The final holding call against the falcons that knocked them out of field goal range, there should have been a face mask call on the patriots to cancel out and reset the down. They could have won if the refs hadn't missed it
bodidle ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:04:32 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Dude was pretty decisive in his call when you see his expression. Considering the ball was inches of the ground, dude must have laser vision. And balls. Definitely massive balls
See, you let them play, let them play, let them play, and then throw a PI. I don't know how you call the PI and not the holding. Pats line should have held the whole game.
They missed a blatant facemask on the holding call that took Atlanta out of field goal range. Would have offset and they'd replay the down.
Otherwise they were fine, but that was a big one.

The missed double face mask (would've resulted in an off-setting penalty). The refusal to take a second look at the Ryan "fumble." The multiple holding calls on the falcons D with no retribution on the Patriots D. The second half was tilted in the Patriots favor no doubt.

Some people see things differently. There was definitely a missed face mask call on the Patriots, but I also think there was a helmet to helmet missed call against the Falcons on the 2nd or 3rd play of the game that could have changed everything much more. It would have been called in any game but the Super Bowl.

White's touchdown was very clear. Not even a close call in my eyes. But that was after the tide had turned. There is a defensive hold on every play and to see all those called against atlanta with no retribution is a bit much. And the fact that Ryan's fumble wasn't even REVIEWED is absurd.
Dude... EVERY turnover is reviewed automatically. Even in the regular season this is the rule. Just because they didn't announce it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
DAC_tbwe ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:45:15 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But it happened so quickly. There was no second look. No second opinion. There was a decent question as to whether the ball was moving forward but there was no delay in moving to the next play. I've seen way less questionable plays reviewed without a question. This one seemed to be brushed under the rug.
There was a second look. There was a delay, the entire offense and defense had to come on/off the field. That's more than enough time if the replay was obvious (which IMO, it was).
Point being, some guy in the booth HAS to give the thumbs up after every turnover. They aren't gonna forget this rule in the frickin super bowl
There was a facemask that was missed on the play with the holding call that took them out of field goal range. That's the only one I can think of but it was a big one.
If they are within 1%, why not nut up and get that % or 2, and run a campaign thats like "just like the patroits, we came from behind to win the super service bowl"

We need a livestream of Atlanta fans selling their season tickets for next year. The definition of bandwagon fans. People coming into work are already saying, "blah blah days until college kickoff."

Prepare for a lot of boring games after that one.
Nothing will come close to this comeback for a while I'm sure.
Is there anywhere to get Football game highlights? Like Xiemo Perto posts NBA games and their dope highlights and easy to get into ball through but idk if there's anything for NFL?
In fairness, that wasn't just the greatest super bowl comeback in history, it was probably one of the greatest in any game. Not many like it to be sure. Nice pick of all the games to watch!
Greatest 4th Quarter of a Super Bowl ever. I still think, bias and all, that SBXXXII was the greatest SB ever. Broncos vs. Packers, the game was crazy the entire way and both teams were pretty evenly matched. Didn't go OT but had crazy moments galore the entire game. This game didn't really start until the 4th Quarter honestly. Definitely one of the top 2-3 SBs though.
I'll definitely concede that. I think SB49 was even better from start to finish, with an equally exciting and mindblowing final few minutes.
What we just witnessed was the GOAT making the greatest comeback in SB history, and one of the best ever period. Down 28-3 with 8:31 left in the 3rd. My mind is still blown. I think front to back this game was definitely not all that great, but the final 1.5 quarters of that game are the best in NFL history imo. Even casual fans were speechless in a way I haven't really seen before.
I don't think so. The first 2.5 quarters were terrible. Not just okay, but actually awful. The last 8 minutes were great, but that doesnt make up for the rest of the boring game. There have been back and forth superbowls much better than todays game.

While I agree with you, the sheer size of the comeback adds so much value to that game.
The game might not be one you watch on replay, but the dramatic recap with that deep narrator voice will be one of the best in history.
The comeback was great, but I think it's being a bit overblown. What's almost as surprising as the comeback is the fact they needed a comeback at all; the Falcons defense is not good. Then a team that put up 21 in the first half could hardly get a drive together in the second. The Patriots were awful in the first half and incredibly lucky in the second. Don't get me wrong, they played great in the second half, however, 10 times out of 10 a great performance stills means a loss with a deficit like that, unless they have a lot of luck on their side.
I agree with you. Best ~10 minutes of football ever, but not best hour of football ever.

He was waiting for that moment in the game where he knew he could absolutely not be less than perfect, then he ascended.
Manning's problem wasn't just the surgery. He had the surgery that meant he couldn't use his upper body to throw at all. He was fine after he relearned his throwing motion to use more lower body motion, then his foot/lower leg gave out, and he was fucked.
Other then his ACL almost a decade ago Brady hasn't had any health issues. He'll fall off eventually, but I don't think it'll be Manning like.
Yeah - got to figure at least two years of declining-but-still-great, then two more of better than average... then what? Two more of leadership and brain power? Goatest of goats.
The thing I go back to is the fact that Peyton looked like a God only four years ago. He went from All Time great season to average to trash in a span of three seasons. When your old, regression happens REALLY fast and out of nowhere. Not saying Brady is done but I won't be surprised if he only has a season left.
But you know, as you get older, there are no upsides to not paying attention to that stuff. Twinkies are really not worth physically deteriorating for decades.
Declines in sports can be steep. Manning the year before he retired threw for like 4500 yards and had 35 TDs. Don't be so sure about longevity. Enjoy it while it lasts because when it's gone, it goes quick. Just ask Kobe, Alex Rodriguez and Peyton Manning
I'm so excited to see if he jumps the "cliff". Some friends of mine are huge Dolphins fans so therefore they hate Brady and the Pats with a passion of a thousand fires. Every year Tom is going to get worse and he never does. Now they have the cliff argument. I hope that gets shattered as well.

All the Steelers fans were complaining about no man coverage in the AFCC. Every choice has its downsides, though!
At half time I told my brother that NE could ring up 28 pts in the 2nd half, especially with Atlanta's defense wearing out from being on the field so long. The question was whether it would be enough.
I was slightly off about the 28, but i do think the sheer number of plays by the NE offense really wore down that Falcons defense.
Too bad for Peyton. Imagine if he didn't have his career during Brady's. Instead, it's like Montana/Marino all over again, except more SB wins with this version.
In some ways, the obvious choice is the same in both. While Madden obviously doesn't compare as a whole, that situation is pretty much identical. What's even worse is the fact that the Falcons were running well all day.

There's a a shit load more elements to the decision than what you see in Madden. Substitutions being a complex element and players looking gassed. Didn't the Falcons RT get injured 1 play before? A run play isn't a shoe-in and not only were they doing well on the run but also dink and dunking on the pass.
Also, it was extremely poor decision making on Ryan's part. All he had to do was throw the ball away but he literally did the only thing he shouldn't do. Even with the run, it's not a sure thing.
Falcons OC was probably thinking a run will be another loss, Ryan can always throw away if nothing is open and then he didn't and he got sacked for a 10 yard loss. Insane.
Even if he throws it away, that stops the clock. A run, even if you lose a yard or two, the clock keeps ticking.

True, but again it's always easy to say what would have been 'better' in hindsight. Those guys get paid millions to make those kinds of decisions. They've been making them their entire career.
And he made the objectively wrong decision. I don't know if there's a book about optimal coaching strategy, but chapter 1 would be running the ball in that situation.

Haha, luck. Kearse was the one with the ridiculously lucky catch to make it first and goal for Seattle to win it, and they blew it with piss poor clock management (seriously blowing 2 timeouts for no reason on that last drive). Butler made a play, that's not luck. Seattle were the lucky ones that year, and they blew it.

I can understand the killer instinct. Get it closer, guarantee the field goal so it's not a 52 yarder, otherwise if you miss it you give Brady great field position. In hind sight it's absolutely terrible, but that's the nature of football. If he runs it three times for a total loss of 2 yards, kicks a 54 yarder and it misses, he gets called too conservative. In the end we simply witnessed the most legendary quarterback performance of all time.

Yup you're right, I was thinking after the sack. Definitely an interesting call.
It's not interesting. It's a dumb call. Fuck, there are so many people on this website/internet overall that call for the aggressive play to be made, but that aggressive play is just fucking dumb. Run the goddamn clock, take the fucking points.
Look, going into that drive someone should have told someone "3 points and we win." They didn't need a first down. They didn't need a touchdown. They needed to set a good field goal kicker up. Fuck.
it woulda been a 40 yarder. At least run it twice, burn their timeouts, and go from there. THe way they were running they may have had a 3rd and 2 on their hands or even a first down. who knows???
NO excuse to not AT LEAST run the ball twice there
I agree with this. Passing the ball was not a bad option, we've seen teams lose when they don't play to win, but rather, play not to lose. But if you're taking that chance, you cannot get sacked or get a holding penalty. That is absolutely inexcusable.

Yeah I see a lot of people complaining that Atlanta played not to lose in the 4th quarter, and a lot of people complaining that they were passing there. Can't have it both ways. The reason teams often play not to lose is because it's the safer option. It was on Ryan to get rid of the ball and make sure not to take a sack.

That's what everyone thought they would do, they were just outsmarting everyone
Because they have an MVP quarterback and everyone is expecting them to run it. Maybe the catch the Pats off guard? While yes, I was expecting a run, I don't think it's attrocious when Matty Ice is your QB to pass it. He HAS to know he CANNOT take a sack though.
cant agree with this. THat game was OVER. If you run the ball 3 times in a row, the only thing thats gonna cost you the game is a fumble. Who gives a fuck if the Pats wer expecting it?
But the mentality for the entire quarter up until then was basically, don't let Matty Ice do his thing, let's burn the clock. That's the problem, you can't flip between conservative and aggressive on a dime.
the game was over after that julio catch. I mean, even a missed fg after 3 consecutive runs puts the pats a terribly disadvantage position. "you got tom brady" ehhh, ummm, idk man...

The Atlanta run game had turned to shit and they were moving the ball pretty effortlessly through the air. And if they didn't get another 10 yards or so, it woulda been a pretty deep FG. They just felt better throwing and didn't really consider the situation. Still....you gotta pound the ball and trust Bryant.
Shit Matt Ryan only had like 15 attempts midway through the 4th Quarter, they honestly didn't need more until they couldn't keep the Patriots Offense off the field.
I am not talking shit on Julio, but I've felt like Antonio Brown was the greatest WR in the league for the past two seasons, over Julio and AJ. Not that he wasn't as good, just that I always saw AB as better...Now I kind of see Julio as the best. That sideline catch was filthy.

I'm not trying to take away from it but I do take issue with people saying it was a better catch. A more amazing play maybe. But not a better individual catch.
The way I see it...Julio could absolutely make the play Edelman made. Edelman doesn't have the athletic ability to make the play Julio made.
he made receptions on 10% of the falcon's plays. They only had 44 plays and held the ball for 23 minutes. They were 1/8 on third down, so most of the reason is that they didn't get a chance to throw it to him.

I know all of this. But Ryan threw jump balls to a few guys in tight coverage not named Julio tonight and came up with nothing...
Ryan should only have eyes for one guy when it comes to that.
I honestly didn't think Julio was that good until I really watched him play tonight. He did everything right, splitting us up the middle when he wasn't the target was probably more important that his 2 inhuman catches. Much respect to Julio.
Exactly. This game was lost by inept play-calling. Along with not throwing to Julio enough, they ran every goddamn time on first down. Kills me. They made the plays on offense and defense to win. Their talent showed up. Just had NO SYSTEM to maximize their potential.

He had only 4? i could swear he was tearing it up way more often, but i'm probably just counting all the openings he created for his mates
He made a lot of bad throws that his receivers bailed him out on. 3 of Julio's 4 were either poorly thrown or bad decisions (2 plays on the sideline that pretty much only Julio and maybe AJ Green can make, 1 where he had to pull it from the CB's hands). That's why I'm saying he was low key bad. His stats don't tell the story so it wasn't noticeable.
If you honestly think that sideline throw was bad, you're crazy. It's a throw that only his WR can catch it. It had to be an amazing effort from Julio but the whole point of the QB-WR relationship is to place balls where only he can make a play on it.
That throw was fucking awful. It didn't have to be nearly that difficult of a catch if he put it in the proper spot. Don't just repeat what Aikman and Buck were saying.
either way, you still take the run. even if its no gain.
its a much better guaranteed outcome.
dropping back to pass can have multiple negative outcomes (a pick, sack, bad penalties, etc). and positives as well, its up to the coach but imo, you take the safer choice when the superbowl is at stake.
but what do I know, i'm not a coach lol.

I thought ATL used him pretty well as a decoy - he cleared out the safety on several big plays, including the Hooper TD. That said, it clearly wasn't enough - I was surprised they didn't run a few more plays to force feed him the ball (bubble screens, quick slants, etc) so he could try to make a play in space.
It's like Belichick is just in everyone's head, and coaches just tend to have brain farts against him. Once again, all a team has to do is hand it off to a running back the Patriots haven't been able to stop, but they go with the pass.

Even if the Pats stopped the run there for no gain, they still could have made the long-but-not-unreasonable field goal to essentially win it.
This one, us not handing it to Beast Mode at the goal line in the situation he was born for, the 49ers calling four straight throws to Crabtree when the Ravens couldn't stop Gore, and....? I'm blanking on the fourth one. The Steelers not handing it to Mendenhall enough?

I think I'm lumping the NFC game when the niners (again) shoulda ran instead of tossing an INT fade to crab against your hawks
EDIT: nvm they werent at goal line in that one and <30 seconds left. Passing was the way to go. I'm just associating it with failed fades to Crabtree I think
This. It's not even long. 41 yds. Matt Bryant is 100% (9/9) from 40 this year. Can't believe NFL coaches paid millions of dollars aren't smart enough to figure this out
Belichick mind fucked Carroll into that call by not calling time out. The guy is an evil, cold blooded killer. Serious stones on him not to call TO and pass the buck onto Carroll.
Carroll or Bevell, it matters not. By not calling an expected time out, it made the Seahawks rushed, and have to decide on a play pretty quickly.
And I"m on your side with the call. It was not a bad play call at all. Passing on that play was smart in that if it failed, it gave Seattle options on 3rd. A failed run would have burned their last TO and made it crystal clear that a pass was coming on 3rd down.

The boos in the stand were making it tough to hear the words from his mouth into the microphone that was inches from his face. As soon as Kraft had the trophy in his hand it erupted into cheers.
Its complicated, he has had a lot of criticisms running the league. But this particular instance was inline with the deflategate decision and what many perceived as a witch hunt against the pats. But despite penalizing them and suspending Brady, he still had to hand them the Lombardi trophy.
Personally I think if you're gonna hate on him do it for not addressing issues like concussions, guns, and domestic abuse. A squishy ball seems less significant.

For me that's the whole point. Goodell dragged something like deflategate through an entire year, costing the league who knows how much money (which gets passed on to us through memorabilia and TV costs), but suspends people for domestic abuse for 1 game? And suspends someone who a federal court told him to stop messing (cause he didn't have a case) with for 4 games? Where's his damn priorities?
Even if they had video footage of Brady and Belichick on the sidelines sticking a needle into the ball to lower the pressure it should've been a $25,000 equipment violation fine. The modern dynasty of the Patriots fucks up the whole drive for parity in the NFL which is why Goodell tries to find ways to push the Pats down.

Sorry, not a football fan either. What does that mean exactly? Did he not have to get the ball into the end zone there?
thr3sk ยท 40 points ยท Posted at 04:44:24 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Think of the white line at the start of the end zone as a a vertical wall, if any part of the ball contacts that line while the player has possession and isn't "down", it's a touchdown and the play is over, so the ball carrier getting pushed back was after he scored and didn't matter.
[deleted] ยท 20 points ยท Posted at 04:37:53 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Any part of the line including the front part is the end zone.
Surely you don't mean the one on Martellus?
There was a player earlier where a Falcon player made significant contact before the ball arrived, but he had turned and was playing the ball so it rightfully wasn't PI. You can't faceguard in the NFL and hit him before the ball gets there.
I didn't when I watched it live, that's why I wanted to watch again.
After watching again: no I don't think that's pass interference. The ball hit the receiver in the hands, it was knocked away, the defender's arm is a little bit early and touches the receiver's chest but not so bad as to make an entire season defining call that ends the Super Bowl instead of letting them play it out. The receiver had an opportunity to make a play and didn't, it's not as though he had no chance to catch the ball because the defender arrived early. That is definitely not significant contact before the ball arrived, and it's pretty loose to say he's not playing the ball when he knocks the ball away.
There's nothing in the PI rule about the receiver having a chance to make a play even after the illegal contact. You can argue about whether the rule is too soft, but that call was totally consistent with how the rule is written, and, ime, how the rule is called. If he had made even a half-hearted effort to locate the ball then you could make an argument, but blame the LB not the ref, because he didn't even do that.
"Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiverโs opportunity to make the catch."
From: http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/passinterference
Element 1: Defender is not playing the ball
Element 2: Defender makes contact before the ball arrives
Element 3: That contact significantly impedes the receiver's ability to make the catch -- true whether or not Martellus also had a chance to pull it down even after the interference. DPI doesn't require that the defender make a catch impossible.
You argued that the defender was playing the ball since he knocked it away, but I doubt that's how anyone interprets the "playing the ball" statement, though I couldn't quickly find anything definitive on that.
Neither element is met. His contact didn't restrict his opportunity to make a catch, the ball hit him in the hands. Also the defender knocking the ball away shows that he was playing the ball. He physically touches the ball. That's playing the ball.
Where the player is fouled by 3 people, but the refs don't make that call in the last second because it was minimal contact and you force the player to make the play when the game is on the line instead of bailing him out and determining the game yourself as a ref.
Look at this slow-motion replay and tell me 1) you don't think contact was made before the ball got there, 2) that the defender turned his head around, was aware of the ball, and that he was actually making a play on it (and didn't just touch the ball by accident), and 3) that the contact didn't impede Bennett's ability to make the catch in any way.
If you tell me you see all of those things, you will be confirmed an idiot.
I thought not. It's not a story Goodell would teach you.

He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from losing 28-3. The dark side of the Ball is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Ok So Follow me here with the Star Wars analogy to the fullest.
Brady is Anakin, he fights against a much tougher opponent as the scrappy underdog who everyone loves and wins the superbowl thats like Episode 1, and then he beats the shitty team everyone hates (the eagles) thats episode 2.
then Belichik reveals that he was actually evil and orders the forming of the patriot empire creating a death grip on the AFC winning their third superbowl (order 66) but as he is about to ascend to his highest form as emperor and vader he is struck down by his former mentor (the giants) in episode 3 on mustafar in 2007.
It Takes years for Brady (vader) and Belichick (Palpatine) to recover but when they do they have a new weapon a "death Star" (Gronkowski) and they get to the superbowl again but the Giants have found a new hope a plucky upstart named Victor Cruz who salsa's his way into the superbowl, Gronkowski gets injured and on the final play isn't able to make the hail mary catch losing the game. episode 4.
this was episode 5. the empire just struck back. Matt Ryan took the spot Luke, Eli was Ghost Obi Wan getting his walter peyton award on the side line, and Brady just chopped his fucking hand off and pimped walked out of cloud city.
Now maybe I've taken this analogy way to far and I'm a massive fucking nerd... or maybe were waiting on episode 6.
edit: the Rams were the Separatists, the eagles were the sith (dooku) because no one likes them, the panthers were the unsuspecting jedi who got murdered in order 66. if anyone is confused by the first 3 superbowl analogies. and then obi-wan vs Anakin is 07.

That is not just because of how good Brady is though, it is because organizations will never give a coach another opportunity to spend 3 years plus building a team around him. Owners are way to results oriented in the forefront. They have an almost despicable way of looking for Short term good, even if it is a long term bad, and will toss aside a coach who is short term bad, but long term great for the club.

Except every NFL analyst has said that Aaron Rodgers is the best qb playing the position. Yeah he doesn't have the rings like Brady does, but playmaking wise, Brady isn't as good. I can feel the downvotes coming before this even gets posted, but if you take rings out of it, Brady is not the best to have ever played the game. That's not to say he's not great, because he is.

That's why I put quotations around "stars". They aren't. They shine in the opportunities BB and Brady create for them.
Warms my heart to read this. I remember in early 2004, after the second Super Bowl, hearing that Brady had idolized Montana and hoping he would manage to take a run at his legend status. 13 years later Brady's career has been more than I could have imagined.
My daughter just asked who Tom Brady was and I said, "He's the Quarterback of the New England Patriots and probably the greatest QB of all time, as much as it sucks to say that."
I always wondered what the people that hated Jordan felt like! Not anymore. Although its hard to justify hating Tom Brady at this point.
Exactly. I'm from Los Angeles and I adore Kobe Bryant. I simply don't understand why people hate his game. His attitude and his way of being... yeah, I get it. But people comment such idiotic things about Brady, and as a Texans Fan I just sit there and say... "I honestly don't see anything wrong the way Brady carries himself and he's proven to be the best Quarterback of all time. No question... GOAT."
I've denied it so hard for years and I still don't like the guy (for no reason at all) but I can't even think of an argument or an angle through which Brady is not the GOAT.

To be fair, some of that falls on the Falcons' overly aggressive play calling. That 3rd & 1 strip sack was ludicrous, and the sack and hold might have been worse. Freeman was averaging 7 ypc.
When the second half started, I thought Brady was old and tired and wouldn't be able to rise to the moment. I pictured him knowing he has to lead the comeback, trying, and failing and looking horrible.
I already imagined the hot takes, "is it time for Brady to hang it up?"

I always gave it to Peyton only because of my dislike for Brady and the Patriots but Brady is the GOAT no question at all. I am glad I got to watch both Brady and Peyton. I will miss watching Brady play if he ever decides to retire.

it hurts to hold anyone else next to Joe, but...what choice do I have now?
Yep. I've been on the fence a while, but this game leaves no doubt in my mind. As much as I love Montana, Brady is the greatest QB of all time. I've spent years arguing with Brady fans and defending Joe Cool, but I just can't do it anymore; Brady is too good.
Totally, I hate the Patriots (superteams in any sport ruin it) and Tom Brady especially (he's a giant ass baby) but I can't deny he is arguably the best QB in NFL history, if not overall player

This is one of those historic performances. He put the team on his back and just shredded the Falcons.
SO he stopped the Falcons for scoring the 2nd half? The Patriots scored 31 unanswered points. There is more to it than just Brady.

His offensive line collectively made the second half possible. He went from having normal protection in the first half and playing poorly to having excellent pass protection in the second half and playing very well. He's always had an excellent offensive line and I think they've taken Brady from being a good quarterback to being a great quarterback.
There were a few throws in particular where he showed that extra bit of greatness. Most NFL QBs could make 90% of the throws. The elite ones can make 95% of them. Brady makes an extra couple that keep a drive going. That and composure. And he's on a good team with a great coach. But he is fantastic.
And he's 39. Damn.

Honestly you can say it was Brady, but the thing that saved them was Edelmans catch and some stupid penalties by Atlanta(also, a no call on a facemask and calling holding in the same play saved the pats from a 3rd and long)

Tom Brady is arguably the best QB in my life, maybe the history of the NFL, and the patriots have been the golden model of an NFL franchise for over a decade. I love Brees and my Saints but this is the best QB and team I will ever see in my life. Belichick and Brady are the GOAT. FTF
Heck yeah! We're talkin about the Cheaters Hall of Fame, right? Because he was suspended for cheating this year. And his team has been sanctioned for cheating in the past too. 5x cheatin champs!
Cavs have been good only when Lebron came back, and Warriors since Steph blew up. So both have been elite for....two years? Hardly compare to the dominance of the Lakers and Celtics of old.
Maybe more a LeBron team than Cavs, worded wrong. A LeBron team has reached the finals every year for the past 6 years or something.
And Warriors literally added Kevin fucking Durant to their 73 wins teams. It's guaranteed dominance for them in years bar bad luck.
Not to mention for like the past 2 decades only notable teams are the Lakers, Spurs, Heat. 3 out of 30 isn't much for parity. Before that we had Jordan's Bulls dominated the entire 90s.
Reached but not won. The east hasn't fielded many teams outside of Lebron for a while, but the West has been a bloodbath.
And the Lakers added Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. Doesn't guarantee jack.
only notable teams are the Lakers, Spurs, Heat
Notable being what? Winning the Championship? You forgot the Mavs, Rockets, Pistons. And 20 years ago includes the Bulls. Or do you mean contending, consistently good teams? Because then you can throw in teams like the Magic, Suns, and Jazz too.
And I remember when Boston fans used to say they were in the running for the most cursed sports city because their baseball team sucked for a long time.

I assure you that New England does not get tired of this. Two years ago when the Pats won, a drunken riot broke out at my university, resulting in the mob tearing down a giant globe statue. Guess who's back out there tonight with our new globe.
I spent the entire night screaming at my nephews. They were despairing so hard after the first half... Their entire lives have been in the BB/TB era and they act like spoiled little shits at the end of the game.

Fucking good-backup-trade cheating patriots at it again
In short he engineered a 4 game suspension against Brady, a $1mil fine, and loss of 2 draft picks against the Pats for basically nothing. Even non Pats fans think it's bullshit over the way Goodell is judge, jury, and executioner of any and all punishment. The worst part is that the league isn't even consistent. The severity of punishment depends upon exposure and public opinion, not the actual infraction.

Strangely reminiscent of the INT two years ago, it's like there's a quota on passes that needs to be filled. Hell, Brady almost got picked again in the endzone.
Taking a sack there when you can actually see the pressure coming, not to mention all of the pass plays late in the 4th. And possibly the most blatant hold of all time. Just a horrible series of events that was way too cute for it's own good.

yeah, that might even be a worse play call, because there was like 8 minutes left. but they had 3 (4?) chances to get it right after the jones catch, and they messed it up each time.
No... that is THE comeback of this and the last century. I watched that whole series LIVE (funny enough I was basically a Red Sox fan thanks to alot of my friends in college and them being the underdog).
But THIS game comes in 2nd (or 3rd... that Seattle loss 2 years ago was huge one too) of all time worst chokes imo

As a lifetime falcons fan this was very very difficult to watch.
I knew Brady wouldn't let us blow him out. I knew that we would be up at the half. After that first 2nd half 3 and out, we responded with another stop, and touchdown, but still I knew we needed to score again because points were coming.
Then the worst call I've ever seen takes place, momentum shifts and we fucking choke like always. I'm not exaggerating when I say this city is so depressed. We blew our shot, and we deserved the loss with how our defense gassed out, and the sheer stupidity of our play-calling. We really can't seem to shake it man, and it really sucks.
But they didn't choke any of those other game away either. Just got beat.
A better example of choking would be the Seahawks blowing a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter of the Super bowl then throwing an interception from the 2 yd line when down by 4.
I guess it depends on how you define choking then. For me, coming into a playoff game and not performing to the level that got you there would be choking. Playing a close game and losing wouldn't be choking in my book. Don't get me wrong the Falcons choked in the second half but I just wouldn't say it was the biggest choke ever. They still played a solid 2 quarters of good football prior to choking.
Also a running back. Sorry for trying to kill your joke.

Might not want to post a static image if you want an actual answer.
If I'm remembering the correct play, I would say that it was a catch. I'm also not an NFL referee. The issue is "control". Dez had one hand and potential lack of control as he fell with it in one hand. Had he had both hands on that ball, and it didn't move at all, it would have been ruled a catch in that game.

I think we're the only fan base that is indifferent to the Pats success. The 2 SB wins against them and the Belichik defenses during the Parcells era. I was actually kind of pulling for them.
I am a long time Patriots fan. If I were a giants fan I would have rooted for Patriots in this game. Think about it. The more NE wins them the better it makes the giants and Eli look. Eli Manning is the only QB to knock off Brady in a SB, and he did it twice. That distinction has got to be worth something.
The only guy in my dorm rooting for the Patriots today is a diehard Giants fan. His logic is that if Brady goes like 10-2 in superbowls, it makes those 2 wins by the giants look better and by the transitive property Eli Manning is the greatest QB of all time. That last part he said as a joke, but it was pretty funny to watch him cheer for a team he hates just to make his favorite team look better.

I'm convinced that the refs control the game to increase the number of game 7's to help drive ratings and t.v. time. Because if you watch regular season hockey there isn't as much parity as there is in the playoffs.
The 2014 LA King's went from being 1 loss away from being out in the first round to Stanley Cup champions.
The Capitals had the best record in 2010 with two 100-point scorers, Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. The team also has two 40-goal scorers in Ovechkin and Alexander Semin and five other 20-goal scorers.
They lost their opening series as a 1 seed with a 3-1 lead.

Why does everyone hate Roger Goodell? I'm new here

He is the commissioner of the NFL. He also had the quarterback of the winning team suspended for the start of the season over "deflate gate". The winning team lost draft picks, and other things. We were guilty of wrong doing, but the situation was handled poorly and extremely public with many things being leaked to many reporters for an infraction that more then one team does. Brady basically got crucified for this.
It is hard to not be biased while explaining this because I have been a pats fan for a long time. Goodell has been inconsistent with his punishment for a lot of things. He basically made himself the Judge and Jury of the NFL. A lot of different fans agree, and disagree with many different decisions he has made, but the game has definitely changed since he took over.
Thank you for a real reply, didn't realize his reputation outside of deflate gate suspensions was looked at badly outside of Pats fans

I mean, we were found guilty in a bullshit court, but we are guilty in the eyes of most of our peers. As you could read from my comment I am trying to be as unbiased as possible with how I am wording it, but it is hard to do so. At the end of the day, none of us knows what actually happened. What we do know is that if it was a unfair investigation that probably would of seen no action against us, but in the sense I am talking about, guilt is in reference to the league and how they judged it.
We were found guilty by the league. Saying we were not is not bullshit. That is what happened. We were found guilty, and we were punished. That is not an admission of wrongdoing, it is just an admission that we were judged with wrongdoing.
Guilty literally means responsible for wrongdoing.

As great as this sentiment is, and btw this may be because I am in Charger territory that hates the Pats with an absolute passion, I do not get to see the positive points. BTW, I do not feel that we were in fact guilty of anything, I am just stating the same thing over and over though which is that the league deemed us guilty, so our peers, which does not include inclusive informed adults, see us guilty in their eyes as well. That was my entire point 4 or so posts up from here. I am not refuting science. I am not saying it was a fair situation, but I was trying to be as impartial to someone that said they had no clue why people hate Roger Goodell. His NFL convicted us of wrongdoing, and we paid the price. We were guilty to the NFL. WTF is this so hard for people to understand. I am a fucking pats fan. No part of my being felt it was right, but I cannot deny that we were found guilty by the NFL which cost us losing our QB, a Fine, and Draft picks...

"Sorry bro we know you were found guilty of the murder and we know have scientific wvenidence knowing you didn't do it, but since the trial was run correctly, there's nothing we can do. Enjoy your time in jail."
During the 2014 season playoffs, the Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 in the AFC Championship game and went to Super Bowl XLIX, which they won against the Seahawks 28-24. In the AFCCG game, which was played in Gillette Stadium, in one play Tom Brady was intercepted by D'Qwell Jackson, who figured the balls had too little pressure and the controversy started around that. However, it was super cold (24 degrees iirc) and raining, and the Law of Thermodynamics clearly applies here when it says that air pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume is constant (PV = nRT). Many professors and researchers from renowned universities have already proven that the math is correct. However, the NFL clearly doesn't understand such simple logic, so there was obviously some ball deflating scheme going on which was obviously to the benefit of the Patriots because the match was such a shootout. So Roger Goodell hired a PI called Ted Wells and squandered millions of dollars (can't recall what the figure was exactly) in an investigation which didn't draw any conclusion other than that Tom Brady was more probably than not generally aware of a scheme to deflate footballs below the 12.5 psi minimum and the league started a witch hunt against the Patriots by fining the team 1 million dollars, docking our first and fourth round draft picks and suspending Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season. Tom Brady and the NFLPA took the case to justice when a judge determined that Commissioner Goodell took it too far and annulled Brady's suspension. The league recurred and 2015 was marked by media scandals and shit about Deflategate and how Tom Brady's legacy was forever tarnished and full of asterisks. Then, during the offseason last year, the judges ruled that Commissioner Goodell was allowed to do whatever he wanted to the players as the CBA said and reinstated Brady's suspension. If Tom Brady wished to pursue the case any further, he would have to take it to the SCOTUS, so he gave up and served the sentence.
In the first four games without Tom Brady, however, the Patriots went 3-1, 1 1/2 of the first games with Jimmy Garoppolo as the starter and the rest with rookie third stringer Jacoby Brissett under center. When Tom Brady came back, he went 11-1 and set the record for highest touchdown-to-interception ratio at 28-2 the entire season and secured the #1 seed for the franchise.
In the meanwhile, Roger Goodell still tried to drag Tom Brady's name through the mud, albeit with greater difficulty as this was arguably the best season for Brady, playing better now at age 39 than 10 years ago at age 29. This Super Bowl victory cemented Brady's status as the GOAT QB, with 5 Super Bowl victories and 4 Super Bowl MVP awards.
The context helps, other than just deflate gate bullshit. I rooted for the Falcons, but damned if that wasn't a true GOAT moment in NFL and sports history.
Yeah the Chargers fucked that all up, and thats one reason their split from San Diego was inevitable . How fitting. I would have loved to see the the '08Lions (?) have some company in that mediocrity. 0-16 would have brought a tear to my eye

Watching the Warriors blow it and seeing the fresh smugness drain from the faces of their fanbase was wonderful.
It was even funnier when the Indians blew it, but there was no schadenfreude because the Indians were the plucky underdogs of the playoffs, even if the Cubs had a better story about breaking The Curse.
And now the Patriots won. All these blown leads are hilarious, but it's a shame they went from miraculous to tragic.

Chargers beat the Falcons after Falcons blew a 17 point lead at home. I think the Falcons accidentally inherited the "choke when it matters most" gene from them and it became active at the start of the 4th.
DONT LET THE FACT THAT ATLANTA BLEW A 28-3 LEAD AGAINST THE PATRIOTS DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT THE WARRIORS BLEW A 3-1 LEAD AGAINST THE WARRIORS AND DONT LET THAT DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT THE INDIANS BLEW A 3-1 LEAD AGAINST THE CUBS AND DONT LET THAT DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT OHIO STATE GOT SHUT OUT AGAINST CLEMSON AND DONT LET THAT DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT J COLE WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM WITH NO FEATURES
That's the thing about this game... a choke job wouldn't have been enough. And a great comeback wouldn't have been enough. They were down SO many points that they needed BOTH things to happen, and they did.
There are a lot of us who wont accept Brady until the Patriots have a shit season. Is it terrible reasoning? Yeah, but it's what gets us through each year.
No he didn't. They broke up and she later found out she was pregnant. They have a very civil relationship.

They barely punished him for being caught cheating (and yes it was proven) multiple times. Considering he still gained money from the league as a result of the cheating, and he was out for only four games, I would say that the NFL is most definitely not against the patriots.

There was one half where one team dominated the other and then forgot that they had to play a second half. Then Tom Brady came out and took a big old dump all over some birds. Then the game was over. Also, Matt Ryan needed the heimlich maneuver about 3/4 of the way through the game but unfortunately nobody employed by the Falcon's front office was ever taught how to stop someone from choking.

Eh I don't know. Redsox coming back against the Yankees to eventually break the curse and win their first world series in like 80 years was probably bigger. Though this is definitely up there.
It can be considered a huge choke even if the Pats earned the comeback. Specifically the 4th quarter when instead of running the ball in field goal range they passed the ball twice and lost 22 yards

Well yeah, it was a Dan Quinn defense that got shredded against the Patriots two years ago also. ATL coaching lost this game. If they just ran the ball when they were in field goal range with 5 minutes left, the game would have been over. Instead they passed, gave up a sack, then passed again and got a holding penalty. Two runs for no gain would have probably been a win.

Over the course of a season, sure, the '51 Dodgers were as bad as it gets in baseball, especially with the whole Bobby Thompson thing. But giving up 31 unanswered points while blowing a 28-3 lead in the goddamn Super Bowl is the single biggest choke job of all time. I mean, it's the fifth biggest comeback of all time in the NFL and, obviously, the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.

His offense scored 21 points. They allowed 19 points in the fourth quarter. One was a fumble by Ryan if I remember correctly and another one was because he took a sack when he could have thrown the ball away. It's not unreasonable to ask your offense to score 3 points in one quarter.
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask your offense to come away with a FG when you have 1st and 10 on the opponent's 25 yard line either. Guess we're both wrong though.

If we have to deal with that, you can surely deal with us bringing up a historic comeback.
I feel so bad. I was perfectly ready to give up the GGs. I was at work during the game and occasionally glancing at my phone. I was perfectly okay with you guys taking it. And then in the span of like 10 minutes it went from that to holy shit are we going to tie? And then it went to HOLY SHIT ARE WE COMING BACK? IS THIS REAL?
I was actually very impressed with Ryan and the Falcons throughout the playoffs. Your team has serious talent, but they don't yet have maturity and the mental toughness that comes with it. It will come with time, and this loss will fuel it, and they will be back in the SB.
While true the defense did play good for more of the game than not. The offense only scored 21 points which is going to be hard for most teams to win in the Super Bowl. Not to mention even when the defense got stops the Falcons offense continue to stall or fuck up over and over in the second half.

Said for the past two weeks that experience would triumph over youth in this game. That's exactly what happened. Falcons got complacent and didn't know how to cement their victory properly.
I really want to put this all on the coaching. Why did Matt Ryan only throw 23 fucking balls in the Super Bowl.
Wasn't Freeman there to pull some pressure off the receivers? They did that and then forgot the part where you throw to the receivers, specifically the best receiver in the league.
Why did Matt Ryan only throw 23 fucking balls in the Super Bowl.
Because they only had the ball for 23 minutes. I mean, they only ran 18 times, and they were gashing the Pats pretty damn well with their run game. Frankly, if anything I'd say that they would have been better served running the ball a little more and passing a little less towards the end.
This really just goes down to the way the Falcons defense is constructed, honestly. They're built to be a "Bend, don't break" defense, which works great against impatient and/or bad QBs - you force them to work down the field, and then bank on them trying to get overly aggressive or fucking up (like with Brady's pick-six this game). However, against a hyper-patient QB that has great accuracy (like Brady for 99% of this game), it won't work indefinitely. They'll work the ball down the field 5-7 yards at a time while wearing your defense down, and ultimately score most of the time
The problem for the Falcons defense didn't have much to do with Brady or the Pats playstyle...it was the fact that the Pats had more than double the number of offensive snaps the Falcons did. By the end of the game, they were gassed and unable to play like they did in the first half. Their constructed to win by playing fast and aggressive. Once they were tired and couldnt be fast anymore, that was it. The come back was on.
it was the fact that the Pats had more than double the number of offensive snaps the Falcons did
Which ties back directly to the Pats being able to dink and dunk down the field repeatedly. When you're routinely taking to ball down the field in 10-15 play drives, you're going to tire defenses out, much like we saw in this game.
But its never happened in the history of the game. No team has come back from a deficit of more than 10 I believe. 25??? They should be on suicide watch.

Can NE even be considered a bandwagon at this point? They've been so consistently good for so long, even I welcome people who have converted to Patriots fans in the recent past. They like a good, hardworking team with a coach that is arguably just as GOAT as Tom Brady is. Even if the scandals are true, the team has proven again and again that they're likely the best football franchise in history.
Bandwagoning is becoming a fan of the team that is newly(ish) good. Like what people did with the Seahawks and the Falcons this year. Shit I'm from Dallas and people were even bandwagoning there this season.

Yea sorry about them, as we went down 28-3 I was thinking, "well at least the bandwagoners may jump ship", but now they may have superglued themselves to it now.
can you put it on Brady though? OL let Atlanta pass rushers rattle him harder than maracas on salsa night for three quarters

He definitely passed up open guys looking for the big play, its a poor habit all the greats fall into for short spells. But to do it in the SB was questionable
That's true, but now its the consensus opinion. I rather it be like "hey, what about Brady" as opposed to "Brady has 5 rings end of argument".

At this point it will never be "hey, what about Brady." It will be "hey, what about [insert other QB here]," as everyone else will be compared to Brady.
Fuck Shanahan and his terrible play-calling in the fourth. Got the ball at the 20, time running down, field goal ends the game, Freeman has been killing it all game.
So you call a long dropback going for the endzone to give up a huge sack. I knew the game was over right there.
And then the last drive with 57 seconds left, where it looked like the checkdown in the middle of the field was the go-to read on each play.
Yep. My playbook in that situation: we're going 2 TEs, FB and RB, and we are splitting Julio out wide. Personally I just run it all 3 times and see if we can block it correctly and Freeman gets some good chunks. Only time I throw the ball is if I get a really good look with Julio for a quick fade route.
Still, run it 3 times, NE burns 2 timeouts. Kick the FG, go up 2 scores with less than 3 minutes on the clock.
at least they were ahead off the team that beat them, unlike the packers vs the falcons

They could have won it too if they just played it safe and went with 3 running plays while in field goal range. Instead they go with passing plays, get sacked, then a holding penalty to push them out of range. What a huge fuckup on calling those plays.

I don't think the defensive plan in the 4th was really wrong, though. You let the pats dink and dunk, but stop the deep ball and keep the clock running. Had they grabbed a FG anywhere, the pats would have run out of clock.

Belicheck was playing the long game. No, he didn't plan for turnovers, but keeping Atlanta's defense on the field for long drives gave his offense the advantage late in the game -when he knew they would need it. Yet again, Bill is playing chess and everyone else, checkers.

Honestly, it is the length of superbowl s half time. It always helps the team playing poorly. Imagine sitting there with a four score lead for that long, I think it is easy to get ahead of yourself and mentally check out. It is weird they change the game so much during the final game of the season.
As an Atlanta native, this pleases me to no end. With the amount of people coming out of the woodwork to text/call me to talk shit about the NFCCG, I'm gonna have no qualms about returning the favor. Now do me one more favor and FADE THOSE FLAIRS!!

It's the bandwagon flair...I don't really like the Pats, but I respect their brilliance. I haven't really picked a new team yet, not sure if I'm even going to really stay an NFL fan. At a minimum, I want to see how the Raiders' thing shakes out before making a decision...as much as I hate the Raiders, them moving to SD and becoming the 'California Raiders' would really stick it to Dean, so I might be able to get behind that.
They did pretty good under their backup for the first few games. The also went 11-5 under matt castle and he did not get all the off season training the starter would.
That 11-5 was still with Bill and a Pro Bowl QB though. Cassel even went to one with the Chiefs I think. Not to mention that was almost the exact same team that almost went 19-0, so it's not like they didn't have plenty of talent for Cassel to work with.
But yeah, take away Bill and Tom and it's an average team at best.
Brady as a QB coach or an OC would be frightening. Wait, wait, he takes OC for a team, Manning takes OC for another team (I know he won't, he has said as much), and we get 20 more years of Manning vs Brady.
Nah see Bill is training Tom to take his place. Then he will go from GOAT QB to GOAT choach and turn some 6th round pick nobody into the new GOAT QB! So sayeth Satan.

I had this conversation at my superbowl party today:
"Remember when the Pats were a laughing stock and the Bills were the ones going to all the superbowls?"
It should be a tug of war, like it is in college. Each team gets successive possessions until one team outdoes the other. So if team A gets possession first and gets a FG, team B gets a TD and wins, gets a FG and we repeat the process, or don't score and the game ends.
That seems like a bad idea to me. Football doesn't work that way. The team that possesses the ball first would still have a huge advantage, because they'd likely get more possessions. OT needs to be centered around possessions not time, IMO.

I like what the NHL does. Regular season games have to end... use the shootout.
But different set of overtime rules for playoffs... play until some one wins.
Id rather give the Falcons a chance to match, and then it they do you keep going till their scores don't match. The only thing is it would take fucking forever, but if you don't want to change it to college-esque rules, it's probably the fairest way
[deleted] ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 04:59:22 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This is seriously flawed logic and if you can't see that you're a dumbfuck.
At the end of 4 quarters the score was tied. Both teams played equally for the totality of the game. Overtime rules should give both teams an equal shot.
The Falcons strength is their offense. They made the superbowl because they have a legit top 5 all time offense. But they lose the coin toss, and their strongest unit doesn't get a chance to take the field in overtime. the league MVP doesn't even get a fucking snap in overtime. Thats so fucked
Just because it used to be super fucked dosent mean it's fine because it's less fucked now. College OT rules are what the should do
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 06:42:41 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
A modified version. What I hate about college OT rules is that they get rid of kicks and punts and start you at the 25. That's barely football at that point.
But the idea of each team getting to trade possessions, definitely a good thing they need to adopt.
That catch was Edelman literally being possessed by the Holy Spirit. Like what the fuck how he was able to establish control literal centimeters off the ground, off the dude's FOOT??? Might be the greatest catch in SB history, certainly the most technical.

It's about time we got one of those plays go our way in the Superbowl
Keep in mind the refs gave atlanta a free point earlier in the game when they allowed a rekick of the missed extra point for a call that was just plain wrong. That is a stand alone play so you can say it was a direct result.
In the sport of football. Greatest comeback in any sport is prolly the 2004 alcs (which pains me to say cause I'm a Yankee fan, but I guess I'm one to complain)

Really? Tottenham was right on Leicester's tail until the game against their rivals Chelsea. Chelsea, which had dramatically underperformed during the year, came back to draw with a couple minutes left with a goal from Hazard (the player of the season before, who this season had essentially been scoreless from months), giving Leicester the title. And to top it all off, Tottenham collapsed in the next two games, losing 5-1 on the final game of the season to a team already demoted to the Championship (second division), which ensured that their archrivals Arsenal would continue the tradition of finishing above them. If that's not an exciting end, I don't know what is.
As a Spurs fan I can confirm that it was NOT an exciting end at all. I wanted to die more and more with each passing match. (And btw Chelsea didn't beat us they tied, still haunts me though)

He was honestly pissed after the game because he dropped a couple balls. He said "I could have played better, I could have played a LOT better". It's like that catch didn't even phase him, he was so caught up on those drops and missed balls by Brady.
The NBA Finals, like in the MLB and I believe NHL, is a best-of-7 series to determine the champion. A 3-1 lead means that by the 4th game, one team was one three games and lost only one, so they need to win one more game out of three to in, whereas the other team needs to win 3 in a row. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA finals when they had the best record in NBA history and the unanimous league MVP.

European here. This was literally my first time watching a whole game of football. I heard of Tom Brady, Patriots and Belichick but thats about it. So I was watching the game with a couple of buddies. One of them knows a lot more about the game and the teams, and prides himself on that fact. From the very beginning I was talking shit and saying Patriots would win it, pretending to know a lot more than I do. He was rooting for the Falcons. As the game is on the way and Falcons are dominating he was feeling quite secure in his superior knowledge of the game. Anyway, at 0 - 21, just before the half time, I predicted that Lady Gaga wouldn't lip sync and would be awesome, that Patriots would make an epic movie worthy comeback and win the game, and that Tom Brady would be the hero. His face as the game progressed was priceless and it made my first experience of football something special. I think he might have left actually believing I knew what I was talking about.
P.S. I also predicted that Tom Brady will be president one day. Make of that what you will.

Long story short he punished the Patriots for Deflategate and after all of that, they still won the Super Bowl. So in a sense he deserves to get booed.

Largest deficit to return and win the game in NFL history(previously 10, Patriots came back from 25 points).
I think you mean Super Bowl history. The Bills coming back from 35โ3 to beat the Oilers is the largest comeback in NFL history (lucky to have seen that game too).
I grew up watching the end of the montana era along with young, elway, farve, aikman and marino. Being a kid, watching those guys i saw them larger than life. The older i got analysts, relatives, parents of my friends time and time again (usially) went back to montana as #1 with most of the others in the top group. In my teens came peyton and brady slowly climbing their way up but by then that awe and magic of being a kid seeing the best pros had faded. This was true of any sport, after all i grew up watching jordan and he's almsot unanimously considered the goat.
In my 20s i carried that in my mind montana was the greatest & most others of that era were in that top group ( along with those of past eras who i didnt get to watch) . Sure i saw manning & brady with that group but there was always a slight separation of sorts & always seemed to be a rational (ie the game had changed) that either couldn't reach #1 definitively.
I hadn't thought about it for yrs until i pressed myself to revisit it after the pateiots won the divisional round, went back and realized just how phenomenal and deserving of that #1 spot brady is.
Then there was today, cementing tom and dethroning my childhood hero.

Like him or not, we just witnessed the greatest quarterback of all time play the greatest Super Bowl of all time to make the greatest comeback of all time to break the record for most Super Bowls won. Mad respect
Edit: a couple of clarifications based on the comments:
"play the greatest super bowl of all time" meaning the best individual performance of all time in a super bowl (up for debate obviously), not that this was the greatest SB of all time
"greatest comeback of all time" in a SB
technically tied the record for most SBs won by an individual with Charles Haley

Yeah that definitely wasn't the GOATiest Tom in the first half. But honestly there was a lot of issues from every single player, it was odd seeing us be the team with the nerves.

You know, if you go back and look at Patriots games against really good teams over the past 3-4 years, more often than not, New England looks pretty terrible in the first half. Then they make adjustments at halftime while the other team just keeps doing what they've been doing, and NE crushes them.
I was raging pretty hard...almost stormed out of the super bowl party but something in the back of my head told me to chill and have another beer...I'm so glad I did

They totally did, but there were more inexcusably misplaced passes than drops.
My brother, who is a fairweather, bandwagon fan and knows nothing about the game was cursing and yelling at the TV demanding the backup (who he couldn't name) and New England get rid of Brady next year because he sucks. Made me sick. And I hate New England.
I was stopping by the Buffalo Bills subreddit for a while. The turn of events was amazing to watch. Brady is the GOAT and I thought this before this year.
And yet after that first half people still want to say this was the best Super Bowl performance of all time. I have a hard time it was even the best QB performance in this game.

Falcons: 28 Patriots: 3
28 + 3 = 31
31
3-1
Don't let the Falcons blowing a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl distract you the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.๏ปฟ
Huh damn I totally misremembered that. I think I got it mixed with the Packers game from that same season, because we apparently lost 38-35 like we did to the Pats in 07.
Probably before then. Derek Carr is great and the pieces are there for you guys. It could've easily been you guys in the SB this year had he not gone down
First the warriors blow a 3-1 lead to lebron now Atlanta blew a 28-3 lead to Brady. And the cubs ended a 100 year curse and came back 3-1 against Cleveland. The last 12 months have been ridiculous for sports

Win with another team like Montana and Manning. Hell even another coach or owner. The season without him continues to define him (amongst the greatest).
Manning got a ring last year, and I love him, but really???? They won that game in spite of him. You really think that is more impressive?
Palchez ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:44:50 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's impressive he went to the super bowl with four different head coaches. None of which won it without him.
The Pats make everyone who plays QB for them look great. If Brady wants to move the barometer he needs to not retire a Pat. Or play a few years after BB retires. But, ideally he'd show he can win elsewhere. Since Montana played well with the chiefs, people can't just note Walsh and Rice and highlight Young as evidence of the organization's system.
The things people want Brady to do to become GOAT, after winning 5 rings, going to 11 AFCCG, 6 straight, winning 25 post season games, he's supposed to switch teams. Even though the same 2001 "elite defense that carried Brady" was 5-11 without him in 2000 and 0-2 to start the season with Bledsoe. Though nobody brings that up because a stacked 2007 squad went 11-5 with a starter like Matt Cassel who was likely the best backup in the league.
It is undeniable that Tom Brady is the greatest QB in history. Greatness is championships. Greatness is those moments when youre down 28-3 in the Super Bowl and no ones counting you out yet. Greatness is when youre drafted in the 6th round with little hope of ever earning a snap and turning it into 5 super bowl rings.
If you want to argue who can throw the ball the prettiest or who had the best stats, youre free to do so all day long. But Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in NFL history, and there is no argument otherwise.

Does he have to end world hunger or invent FTL space travel at this point to get the title? Jesus, it was bound to happen sometime: there's a new best ever at the QB position. Just accept it.
Not sure why you think I'm salty. I don't give a shit. My team didn't just get beat. I just think that no position has a clear-cut best ever. Brady is undoubtedly one of the 3 best QBs ever. He's just had the added bonus of having the greatest coach of all time.
i stand by what I've said after the giants beat the patriots in the super bowl for the second time and thats tom brady is not the goat....now like you said its not even really debatable. he is the greatest qb of all time.
Yeah, the reason why I'm not scared of him dropping off quite yet is because he's that freak QB who's arm gets better the more he throws usually. At his age that's insane. The throws he was making it OT were straight dimes.
I'm actually glad he missed that XP. Imagine if he didn't. We would have still needed one 2 pt conversion, so they get that one on the next td. They then score the touchdown to get them to 27, and ghost misses that XP try. We lose 28-27. Him having missed that first one put us in 2 pt try mode and took the game off Ghosts hands.

instead of two minute drill it was fourth quarter drill
The whole first half I had dumb fucks posting on my FB page making fun of Brady and saying how hes shit and. No Joe Montana. After they won the argument became "Brady didnt win it alone. His team won." Yea, no shit. But lets not ignore the fact they I could count on my fingers the amount of run plays they had in the 2nd half and the guy wound up with almost 500 yards. The delusion out there is amazing.
I'm not denying he's the goat but if Edelman doesn't make that catch its over. You gotta be good to be lucky, I guess. You can make hundreds of incredible plays but you still need that one that ties it all together.
No way is he Gretzky status. His number won't be retired by the league and never worn again. Dominant is one thing, but Gretzky is a whole other level.
Really? I mean Brady is an excellent player that's obvious... but he's nowhere near the level of The Great One. That's just retarded, IMO of course. Brady is an amazing athlete... but Gretzky was, is, and likely will forever (maybe) be unlike anyone who's ever played the game. HUGE difference in comparable talent.

I would still say Jerry Rice is the GOAT. But you could say Brady is GOAT QB.
I thought he was already the greatest even before the Super Bowl, and I've always been a Peyton Manning fan (even when he was with the Colts and beating us every year.)
But he was awful the first half. Like downright horrible.
Edit: coming from a unbiased fan just calling it like it was. Not saying he didn't turn things around in the second half but you can't forget about the bad performance first.
To quote game of thrones, an apple that's half rotten is still rotten.
The problem with this is he needed that performance because he was so bad. Like, I wouldn't criticize them if he was great from bell to bell. But when you're part of the reason for the deficit, why do you get more credit for the comeback than if you hadn't needed the comeback in the first place?
That's great. But how is never giving up because you fucked up seen as better than not fucking up? Like I'm not even trying to be a dick here. I just don't see the logic. Like per example. I think Rodgers had a far better performance in his Super Bowl because he was great literally the entire game. But I seriously doubt people wouldn't say Brady was better this game. $1,000 people are gonna call this the greatest performance of all-time.
Name one player who was amazing in every game and never fucked up. Not to mention Brady was not "horrible". He missed some throws but his receivers also dropped some balls, running back fumbled, defense was getting stomped, etc. There's a lot that went wrong in that first half, not just Brady. A lot went right in the second half, also not just Brady. But the way he picked up the offense and never gave up is commendable.
Thinking back on the first half, Brady had maybe 2 or 3 pretty bad throws but otherwise mostly played to expectations for Brady. Not super-bowl GOAT Brady, but a good QB.
I agree that its not fair, if looking at just one game, to judge a turn around higher than a team that dominates throughout. Brady against the Steelers just crushed them from start to finish with no let down. By your metric, for a single game, thats a better performance. And sort of true in your narrower view of performance.
People arguing this game was special is based on the idea that, eventually every QB has a sub par half / quarter (sub par for their par). The question is does a sub par half always become a sub par game. For some QBs I'd say yes. If they arent "on", they won't be on all game. Only chance is if Defense or ST carries the team. What Brady did was go from a sub-par for 1 half to god-like in the 2nd half.
That transition and ability to adjust is a skill / talent that should be incorporated when judging a player overall. Which is what the discussion is really about. Even if in the context of this 1 game, yes, he only needed that skill BECAUSE of the first half.
On that note, the greatest comeback in Superbowl history automatically makes it the greatest comeback in NFL history. Sure there might have been a bigger comeback during the regular season, but it couldn't have meant more than this one. And 31 unanswered points is just insane in a Superbowl.
He wasn't even THAT bad. He forced the throw that was returned for a TD, but he had a lot of drops. And did you see some of those throws with the season on the line? He is 39 years old and zipping deep outs to some random WR. Incredible performance.
Agreed. He was mediocre. If it was during the regular season and they lost, the blame would have been mostly on the o-line and receivers. The pick-6 was awful but that was his one major mistake.

THIS. I said it out loud that the only chance they had on the goal line was if the pats pull a Seahawks and throw it. Unfortunately the defender only got a hand on it.
Ironically the Falcons did exactly what Seattle did. They passed the ball. That drive with 4 mins left on our 20 yard line. Just had to kill the clock and kick a field goal. Would've probs won them the game. Came down to bad clock management, terrible play-calling, and poor execution.
That said, they put up a real fight and if they won I would've been ok. The fact the pats came back was amazing and this will go down as one of the most thrilling superbowls of all time.

I'm sick of waiting for commercials and don't care enough about either team or I'd stay up just to laugh as Falcons players and management try to explain away that shitshow. Only thing in my lifetime that compares to this level of "huh" is the Broncos deciding not to show up to play against the Seahawks, but at least they didn't show up at all. Showing up and dominating for one half and then leaving the stadium is a different level of "WTF" in my opinion.

Sure, but because of the seemingly insurmountable deficit the 3rd quarter was pretty boring, even though the fourth was crazy. I'm sure some would prefer a game that has constant lead changes throughout.
So we're just going to ignore Pats Giants 1, Steelers Cards, Seahawks Pats, Titans Rams? All to crown a game that ended 10 minutes ago?
This was a great game. And I'm glad you're able to objectively make the decision for the what's the best for everyone but the rest of us know that recency bias is a real thing and may wait to crown this the greatest game ever until we all sober up and can look at this objectively. Because I don't know if you're objectively wrong, but I know I'm not.

Those were great games like two fighters sizing each other up and strategically throwing blows in a slower, more calculated affair. This game was like a fucking Rocky movie where the Falcons just start wailing on them for one half, landing 100% of their punches in the gut and on the chin. Then the Pats get the eye of the tiger, take all that punishment, and turn the tide, landing blow after blow for the KO.
Yeah I'm not trying to say it wasn't a great game, and there is obviously some subjectivity to what a greatest game is. I just was more responding to the "objectively wrong" part, because it doesn't really make any sense. And in my opinion, it wasn't the greatest game ever, especially since it really wasn't exciting until the very end, while the others I mentioned were mostly close throughout and still had crazy finishes.
Not to take anything away from the Pats because that was impressive as shit, but I'll take 60 minutes of drama over 15 if both cases include down to the wire finishes as a neutral oberver.

Nah this game was way more memorable. That game was fine, but you see back and forths all the time in the playoffs, super bowl and regular season.
This was I believe tied for the 5th biggest comeback ever in the NFL. There have only been a couple remotely comparable games this century, and neither of them was in the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.
Edit: Both games suffer from the same problem though which is that the underdog lost. Nobody outside of Boston and Pittsburgh wants to watch either of those teams win a-fucking-nother championship
I'm glad a non-steelers fan said it first. With the the full context and stories and the comeback, this will go down as the best game. But 43 was the best game when context is taken out.
The fucked up thing is I think SB 49 is a solid #3. I'd say toss up between 43 and 51 for the first. I have to process it still.
owlbi ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 04:16:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes but this had the greatest comeback of all time and in order for a comeback to happen one team needs to be down big. You can argue that other Super Bowls were more enjoyable for you personally, that's subjective, but this will go down as the most memorable Super Bowl of all time. That's the only somewhat objective metric I can think of for 'super bowl greatness'. The first half was a stinker but if you watched the whole thing you saw something that will get more replay and historical analysis than any super bowl before it, and likely any for some time.
It's not really an objective thing. It's totally subjective.

With under 10 mins left to play in the 4th quarter, the Falcons had a 99.4% probability of winning.
99.4%
First Super Bowl to go to OT, largest deficit overcome in the shortest amount of time by over double the previous record...I mean, it's not super subjective.
Today's game was hands down the craziest comeback and redemption story in the history of the NFL, but as a full game I remember a couple others being more enjoyable but that's just imo obviously
Best ending ever, yeah, but I'm not sure about best overall. The first three quarters were very boring. If ~75% of the game isn't interesting I have a hard time saying it's the best ever.

The comeback was awesome, but overtime is absolutely idiotic. Sudden death in a game like football is dumb enough. But then deciding possession by a coin toss is even worse. That coin toss provided a MASSIVE advantage.
I'm not saying the patriots didn't deserve to win, or the falcon didn't deserve to lose, but I am saying that a fucking coin toss helped decide the outcome of a championship game, and that is pretty damn stupid.
After watching that 4th quarter do you really think the falcons would have scored a TD even if they won the toss?

Not likely, but it doesn't really matter since we'll never know.
There's no denying that the Patriots deserved the win, and the Falcons deserved to lose. I just think it's a really stupid concept for overtime that provided a massive benefit to the winner of a coin toss. It should never be that way.

The giants miracle win over the undefeated patriots with the miracle helmet catch was a much better super bowl in my opinion and I think a lot of people who watched that super bowl would agree. It's pretty subjective.

I refute it. Boring as fuck. Anyone who didn't think ATL would choke and the Pats would dink and dunk their way back is a moron. ATL owned the second quarter, but that was it. Wasn't even the best Pats SB, let alone best ever.
It was a one-sided game where one team played terribly the whole way; they just switched which team was the one playing terribly during the second half. Extraordinary comeback, but I definitely wouldn't call it the best Super Bowl. There was none of the back and forth you need to maintain tension.
Watching one team suck for 30 minutes then watching another team suck for 35 doesn't make for good entertainment, imo. I'd argue for a tight game over this one.

I went "Wow that Pats are going to blow this" then I went "Wow the Falcons are going to blow this" never really had an in-between moment. Good ending but by that time I was back to watching other stuff and just saw the OT plays.
I would argue the Titans/Rams super bowl was better, and that's just off the top of my head. To call it the best SB ever is reaching a bit. Also, greatest comeback of all time? Eh.....
Really? Is that the excuse now? What about the falcons letting how many unanswered points again? They choked plain and simple, don't blame it on OT rules.

The OT rules are still garbage. Both teams should have a chance.
They aren't perfect but if you want to win, then come to play and stop them. Do something about it, you even get a second chance if the other team gets a bs penalty then a FG. If the other team shows up and drives on your ass 80 yards with you doing nothing to stop them, maybe you deserve to lose?
oscarony ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:17:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That still makes no sense though. Both teams should have the chance to put their offense on the field, it shouldn't be affected by a fucking coin toss.
Like if the Falcons won the coin toss there's a 65% chance they win the game. That's a terrible rule.
It wasnt decided by a coin toss. It was decided by the Patriots being the better team and scoring a TD when they needed to, something the Falcons couldnt do.

Scoring 2 TDS and 2 point conversions...and then scoring another TD when they needed it
Yes because the Patriots were the better team and drove down the field and scored a TD. If the Falcons didn't let them score so eaily, they would've had a chance. It's their own fault. The coin toss only decides who gets the ball first. It's up to whoever is the better team to either score a TD or stop the other team from scoring a TD. OT rules are perfect the way they are. They arent archaic either. These rules are actually upgraded. Archaic would be giving the victory to any team that scores even a field goal first. That's how it used to be. Did you just start watching football last year?
So if the Falcons were the ones who got lucky with the toss and they scored would they magically become the better team, or is it just a case that both offenses were better than the defenses tonight?
It's a team game. It requires you to play both offense and defense. The Falcons couldn't stop the Pats from scoring a TD. They didn't deserve to win. If the Falcons got the ball and the Pats defense couldn't stop them, then the Pats didnt deserve to win. So yes, whoever wins is the better team.
If the Falcons won the toss and then scored, they would have won. It WAS decided by a coin toss.
pridetwo ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 03:55:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If the falcons won the toss it's still possible they don't score. And it was possible that the Pats didn't score on the first drive of OT. It was no guarantee the team that wins the toss wins the game, both had gone 3-and-out several times already.
It wasn't decided by the coin toss, it was decided by the Falcons defense.
You're kind of an idiot. The coin toss only decides who gets the ball first. Its up to whoever is the better team to either score a TD or stop the other team from scoring a TD.

Even when it was sudden death, the receiving team had to move it 30+ yards to get into field goal range. And, anything is better than CFB. "Here's this game we play for 60 minutes and if the teams are tied we're going to play a completely different game for an unlimited amount of time until someone scores differently than the other team."
Overtime stats show that the coin flip doesn't matter. teams win on either side of the flip approx 50% of the time under the current rules. You cant get more balanced than that.

it means that the OT rules are just fine. The team that wins the coin toss has zero advantage to win. When they changed the rule that a FG cannot finish the game, teams that lose the coin toss have a 50% chance at winning based on all the over time outcomes to date.
31 unanswered points to come back from a fucking 28-3 deficit. That has never happened and likely will never happen again for a loooong time. That is the greatest comeback in history.

I actually thought the patriots last win vs the Seahawks was the best Super Bowl ever. It had drama throughout. The game was close. The game came down to the last play.
Yes this one became close, but so much of the game was one-sided. Additionally I think the OT rules should be changed for the Super Bowl. Winning the coin toss is such a huge advantage. Just for the Super Bowl, they should have to play a full quarter. Give both sides a fair shot on offense and defense. But that's just my opinion.
The better prepared, more talented team crushed it. And then the better team overcame adversity and won. Literally the plot to multiple mighty duck movies.

Not the most dominant performance, but the most entertaining game
But the alternative super bowl was the Packers and the Steelers. With the Packers winning it all. At least as a panthers fan I'd have been happy with that. We lost to the Pats in a SB but the Falcons are division rivals..... I'm glad the Pats won. But I'd prefer to be in the alternative facts universe right now.
Yo, people are making funny jokes about their misery at our team's success. Just upvote and move on. Nothing can take away the 'Ship or the fact that Brady is the greatest NFL player of all time.
Not one thing political was mentioned that entire game and it was glorious. What a beautiful escape from reality. What a game. What a halftime show.

The greatest smartest move was to remove blount from the game !! I felt super happy after that move. Running game imrpoved by leaps and bounds. Made brady more comfortable throwing on 2nd and 3rd downs.

Well the running game didn't improve all that much once Blount went out, but with our passing backs in there they gasp started passing more which was very productive.
Every time I think the other team can't piss away the win and every time the Pats get a big break on some crazy mistake the other team makes.
Kudos to them for taking advantage, but its just insane how it always breaks their way and the other team either collapses or does something absolutely batshit stupid to put New England back in it.
Once Bill retires they'll go into mediocrity. It's no surprise Tom Brady keeps taking such lowball salaries. Really damages the competitive field of the NFL.
Then other QBs should follow his lead if they want rings too. If you want a ring take 15 a year instead of 21 and you might be able to sign someone that can make a difference.
Also, long term, Brady can probably turn his success into more money than his salary would be. I don't know when this success caps off, but winning 5 superbowls makes him a sports legend for life. He can get advertisement deals forever. If he had never won one, he'd fade into obscurity in 15-20 years.
But more to the point, Brady isn't massively underpaid like this myth says. He has been the highest paid player in the league, but then gets outdone by someone's contract the next year. He restructures everything to be favorable for the team, but they're paying him his market value if not slightly less.
But that's the thing I think if it came down to it Brady would take less money if he thought it'd benefit the team. Some people know when to bite the bullet. If they care about rings compared to money.

The Patriots are the good, I've always seen it that way. This entire subreddit hates the patriots (everyone who isn't a fan) and New York news media does too. Deflategate was basically propaganda on the NFL's part and many people on this sub still believe in it. The Patriots are pure class in every sense of the word, they conduct themselves like businessmen, especially Brady, Bill, and Robert.
Case and point: Good had the ball in field goal range with four minutes left and decided to pass instead of just taking time off the clock and kicking a field goal to go up two scores.
Yeah, I had always thought if the Browns ever got to the Superbowl, we would lose like the Falcons did. At least we can rest easy knowing we won't be the first.

This was a game to watch if you are a football fan. The Falcons came to play tonight. Unfortunately for them, so did Belichick and Brady. The Falcons made their point about how much they wanted this thing and what they were willing to do to take it. But at the end of the day, they were pawns in the 6D chess match that Belichick was playing against himself.

From a neutral perspective, what a great game to watch!
This was definitely a Super Bowl that experience mattered more than talent. Atlanta played great to build a big lead but seemed to start celebrating too early and didn't have that killer instinct to keep going for the throat.
If New England had been the one with a 25 point lead, they'd have ended up winning by 40 points. Call them the evil empire if you must, but they absolutely know how to close games out.

The balls that Brady used in a game were VERY slightly under inflated, which basic physics can prove can happen under certain field conditions. (This was a rule that was not enforced/regulated, and the balls are even provided by the NFL.) And Goodell tried to suspend the Patriots for it. This suspension was originally overruled, but Goodell kept pressing and going to media trying to smear Tom Brady and the Patriots. Goodell, being the Judge, Jury, and Executioner as Commissioner, decides to suspend Brady for $1mil and a quarter of the season. This is just the latest of bullshit powertripping we've seen from him.
As a patriots fan, this entire season had a certain motivation to it, just to stick it Goodell. This was a satisfying victory.
I'm seriously concerned about Brady throwing the ball next year. Will wearing 5 rings affect his accuracy?

I assume you are under 35? The Pats used to be horrible and basically the worst Boston sports team. But yeah, that last 12 years or whatever it is has been at another level than anyone else
Eh, I remember the Patriots at least getting to the Super Bowl a couple of times before Brady. 1985 as a meal for the Bears and 96 or 97 against Green Bay.

Dark times? dark times?
Please, please tell me about how having to witness your team go 18-1 was so painful and heartbreaking. I'm sure you cry yourself to sleep into your four five Super Bowl Champions blankets every night. I'm sure you have to wear a paper bag over your head when you go to games because no one can ever dare know that you are a New England Patriots fan.
Fuck watching my team go 0-16. Fuck watching my team implode week after week, year after year, and fuck never, not once, in my entire life, seeing my team win a playoff win. The only real pain is watching your team blow an undefeated season. Oh the pain, oh the agony.by the way, I'm not actually this salty, it's all in good fun.
But actually, all of us older NE and Boston sports fans know this feeling well, watching the Pats go for years with 1-15, 2-14, and the like; Red Sox choking in the ALCS and WSJ year after year. We know pain as much as anyone.
More like Billionaire who lost everything talking to the homeless. Two very different scenarios, and I doubt either fandom will ever understand the other. But honestly 18-1 is brutal. UNless you are the Bears and won a superbowl at 18-1, then its pretty legit. But otherwise, it fucking blows. Indescribably. Just a different kind of suck than 0-16. But still very painful none the less

These fans just piss me off so much they have been to 7 super bowls in 15 years and they want the rest of us to feel fucking sorry for them. Pathetic this success could not come to a less grateful fan base. They need a few years at the bottom to remind them what it feels like.
It doesn't matter which team was winning like this, the fan base would be the same. Those annoying entitled fans are only fans because of the constant winning. They aren't actually loyal to the Patriots, they're loyal to championships.
Yeah it is worse. Losing for anyone sucks, but losing in the Super Bowl is the worst loss(do you think any other playoff team feels worse than the Falcons right now?), and 18-1 is even worse. The Pats losing to the Jets in the first round was bad, but not nearly as bad as 18-1.
When your team has made 50% of super bowls in the last 14 years, you know they will make it back and losing an individual one doesn't matter at all. Compared to teams that will probably never witness their team win a super bowl in their life time.
You mean the years that 11 Patriots fans on this sub were fans for? Majority of this fan base only started cheering for them during the endless winning era.
Don't we all. Ive been saying for years that it isn't so much that the Patriots "beat you" but rather you just "lose to them."The Patriots didn't beat the Falcons in that sense. Rather, the Falcons blew their lead, shot themselves in the foot with holding penalties at the wrong time in the game, and made incredibly stupid play calls in the 4th quarter (stay in field goal range). Sure, it took Brady's offense to come back, but you'll see more often than not the Patriots opponents capitulate extremely often. The Pats have the discipline to take advantage of the capitulation which is why they are a dynasty. But I don't think they are actually as good as people think. The problem has always been with self-capitulation, penalties, dumb coaching mistakes, bad clock management, and some unfortunate/lucky breaks that gives the Patriots the edge in the end.
They just routinely capitalize on mistakes. You have a team like ATL that just rolls them in the first half because ATL wasn't making mistakes. The Patriots got outplayed, so they are certainly not the best team imo, but they capitalize on their opponents self-capitulation more often than everyone else, so it seems like they are always in the right place at the right time and always end up holding the trophy in the end.
That is how I will remember the Pats and Bellicheck; not necessarily lucky, but actually that they finish games against teams that just can't. It's just downright annoying at this point that it seems like everyone just gives it to them. Credit to the Pats as always, but there is a narrative here of self-capitulation that very rarely gets mentioned.
TLDR: I'll remember the Pats for being their best when their opponents are at their worst. It's not really a compliment. And it's why that Pats are a love/hate type of team.
k5berry ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 05:06:31 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You might get flamed for this, but I get exactly what you're saying. SB 39: Eagles completely blow their clock management. SB 49: Malcolm Butler makes an amazing interception to win it on a very questionable play call. SB 51: Atlanta's offensive playcalling COMPLETELY shits the bed, New England offense is unstoppable. You just can not make a mistake when you play New England. When Atlanta got the ball back after New England made it 28-20 and they made a huge play to the 40 yard line, I said "in these situations, you can usually tell, when the offense of the choking team comes out like that, you generally lose hope the other team's gonna complete the come back." But then they have the ball at the freaking twenty and lose 23 yards. Boom, New England catches fire.
Yeah I'm not really digging at the Patriots, but more I'm trying to sober them down a bit. They are so beatable, ATLs #1 offense showed how vulnerable they are in those first 30 minutes. The fact that they are a dynasty isn't due to them totally out-playing and dominating their opposition (there are a couple seasons that argument could be made for however), but they just finish games while their opposition routinely goes into an amateur-hour sort of spell on both a playing and coaching standpoint when the game is on the line.
For die hard Pats fans, I'm sure they would crucify this post by saying I'm not giving BB or TB their due. No I get it lol. They are the best. But there is zero doubt that the Pats were rarely the "best fielded" team in the league on any given year (again that argument can only be made a couple times). They could just finish games and their opposition always seems to leave the door open in an inviting manner. Don't think I've ever seen a better team play the Pats at 100% for 60 minutes. They always seem to blow it. Credit to the Pats for capitalizing on those moments. That's where Brady is for me. He's a poacher. He's best when his opposition is on their heels, and my view is that usually occurs due to a self-inflicted wound. ATL lost the super bowl last night. Anyone can say the Pats won it, but that isn't the game I saw. I think there is a distinction between a team losing to the Pats and the Pats winning on their own and its that distinction as to why the Pats are love/hate.
I AM SO PROUD OF THIS TEAM THEY NEVER GAVE UP AND NEVER QUIT I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T EVEN CARE. TOM BRADY IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME FIGHT ME

Yup. Seahawks choked on one play call. Atlanta choked a 25 pt lead. Not even close.
european here, can someone explain why falcons didn't go for a seemingly secure field goal when they were around the 20 yard line during their last drive? wouldn't an 11 point lead at this point essentially mean the game is over >99% of the time?
it seems like they were going through a lot of unnecessary risk attempting a touchdown 3 times (risking interception or getting pushed back) for a - considering the circumstances - very small reward (15 vs 11 pts lead). i'm assuming we are wrong, can someone tell me why?

You are 100% correct. That sack with ~4 minutes left is what all the columnists will be writing about tomorrow. They could have run the ball two more times then put the game away with a FG.
[deleted] ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 03:55:14 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It wouldn't have been smart to kick the field goal before fourth down. Having said that, some questionable play calling on second and third down. Probably would have been best to run it up the middle, and if they didn't get a first down, kick the field goal from the 20.
In general, you only go for field goals on 4th down.
That still doesn't explain why they decided to pass the ball and got a sack and a penalty. They should have just done up-the-middle runs for a couple of yards and kicked a long-ish field goal.
Just consider this - the Patriot's kicker missed a much easier kick earlier in this very game. The Falcons had a 1st down in range of a field goal, but that's no guarantee that they'll make it. The closer they get, the better. But the Patriot's did their jobs and pushed the Falcons back - which was quite unlikely.

Because they have the NFL MVP and the best receiver in the league.
The best explanation I could hope to give you is that it makes sense to try to remove more time from the game clock before attempting the field goal, but what no one can explain is the decision to pass instead of taking the safer option of running the ball.

Nothing you said was wrong. The only reasonable answer is inexperience and hubris. All you need to do is take a couple runs and tell your RB to get his knee down if there's any contact and you win. It was a colossal failure in play calling and coaching, which is why football is the greatest sport in my mind - every single play is a coaching decision and game plan decision.
Holy shit ol'Matty Ice choked hard. In the one situation you can't take a sack, he takes a deep sack. From then on I knew it was fuckin over. Great game.
Yeah why were they even throwing it? Run the ball, kick a 35 yard fg, and make it an 11 point game with 3 minutes to go an NE with no timeouts. Honestly I'd be super pissed if my college teams coach didn't run it, let alone pro coordinators
The play call was though you run their you win the game and go up another possession. He had a chance to cement himself among the greats in the game and instead he will be known as the man who lost a 28-3 lead. You score once on any of those drives and you win the game but he didn't and got sacked to kill one drive and fumbled to kill another.
Tell that to Peyton, brady, Rodgers etc. If a QB doesn't have the power to change the play he shouldn't be in the NFL. Have you ever heard of an audible?

I can't decide which is worse, our 43-8 loss (or 55-10 really) where we were never in the game or the Falcons dominating to a 28-3 lead and then blowing it.
Both are awful, but I think I'd rather just get blown out by a better team than have my dreams smashed by Tom Brady.
Yep, what the other guy said: blowout losses are easier to handle. An additional reason for this beyond his given ones is that a blowout won't toy with your emotions, which is of course what happened to the Falcons
I'm a Seahawk fan, so you know how I think of the Pats, however, I totally respect the determination I witnessed. This is how we should work toward our goals in life.
Honestly I think they were just gassed by the end. Brady made the same dink and dunk throws the whole game but they stopped getting pressure because the pass rush was beat from going balls out to start the game.
From a pats fan: be proud of what you accomplished here. I know how it feels to be in that position, I've been through it twice. This game does not take away from the rest of your season. You will come back stronger. It may take a long time, but I promise you, you will be champions.

I agree, which is why I wouldn't like it to be the football equivalent to a shootout by going from the offensive side of the field automatically. But full field? I don't see why not. It's a possession based sport, like baseball. Any extra time should mean offense gets equal number of possessions.

That might give a pretty big advantage to the team with the ball second, as you'd have better field position on average and know how many points you'd need. Just straight college rules would be fine. Maybe move the ball back to the 40 or something if you really need to.

Yeah I agree it's lame to lose to a coin toss and not be able to rebuttal
Personally I think it should carry on until the end of overtime. Whoever has the most points by then wins it.
Regardless of how much a team bottles it in normal time, it's silly that luck of the coin toss is what can get you the win. Just play an extra quarter.
Full 15 min OT has been brought up but the players association votes for sudden death. Football hurts and 60 minutes is enough for most players even in the post season.
The major problem with sudden death is that it can lead to situations like tonight where only one team even gets a chance to score. If they don't want to play the full overtime then at least allow both teams to have a chance.

At 10 mil a minute it be a extra 600 million. Do they get percentage of commercial money or charge the network a flat fee?

Hocky and soccer are really different though, possession of the ball switches back and forth very quickly... Footballyou keep possession for a very long time and you get to start with it...
Soccer has an added 30 minutes, and after that it goes to penalties, which are kind of like sudden death but each team is allowed 5 shots (unless it's physically impossible for them to win before then).

Nah, 30 mins of extra time then penalties. If pens are tied after 5 it's then SD penalties.
From a puck drop where either team has a chance for possession and were it's much easier to take possession. I get where you're going, but it's really difficult to compare the two using the same criteria.
Idk why. They admitted their system sucked a few years ago. Changed so that a filed goal doesn't end then didn't change anything else?
What's the cons of playing out another quarter? Or at least guaranteeing each team one possession.

What's the cons of playing out another quarter?
I'd imagine a con would be something like blowing out your ACL while down 14 points with a minute left in an OT game between two teams with a combined record of 4-24.
That scenario obviously [edit:]wouldn't be would be less of a factor were the NFL to change rules for something like playoff games only.
Or at least guaranteeing each team one possession.
I'd think the argument here is more about how those changes might effect how integral the concept of field position, and subsequently special teams, are to the game and its outcome.
Why just one extra quarter? Why don't they play 3 periods and the 4th is extra? Ultimately if the team can't win in regulation then they're forfeiting their chances at it being fair.
I hate when people say this. Your offense will get a chance if you defense can get a stop (kinda like how the pats defense got stops all 4th qt). The coin toss didn't decide the game. Patriots had to go 70 yards and punch it in.
New Englands D did have to try all second half long and specifically in the 4th QT. If falcons score a td or even a fg on any of their drives in the 4th qt patriots offense doesn't have a "try" at tieing/ winning the game.
For sure, you get used to losing in the playoffs. That one stung a lil more than the others but the Falcons just got a fucking dagger through their heart. r/ELoE
And patriots didn't have it together till the last quarter or really half way through the third quarter. Both dropped the ball equally given the same points. And yet a random coin toss determines who gets the advantage in winning. That's bull.
No. The 2 teams played even for 60 minutes. Then the MVP didn't get to participate in overtime. The Patriots won fair and square no doubt, but Nfl overtime rules are awful and they should be changed.

I'm no expert. Can someone explain me why He went for passes, while 3 runs would have brought the team up for a field goal attempt and probably close the match?
All they needed was 1 of 4 drives to take 3-5 minutes and end in a field goal. That was it. They choked it away. Atlanta has no excuses and just gotta hold the L.
And they still lead most of the game up until they tied while the Pats were trailing most of the game and played poorly in the first half. So by your logic, if the Pats didn't get a chance at a drive in OT it's because they played poorly in the first half even though they picked it up in the second.
Falcons dominated the first half and patriots the second half, they scored an equal amount of points and went to OT. Both teams should get a chance on offense. The coin toss has way too much influence.
Yes we got dicked the second half, but we dicked them the first half. So why after a full game of football, should only one team get a chance with the ball. It is inherently unfair, no matter which way it goes, for the game to be over after one touchdown. That would be like if the Extra innings rule in baseball was that the first team to score a run wins. In the end, if both teams end a game evenly matched in a tie, why should only one team be given the chance to score.
That doesn't solve the problem though. What if down the road there are two teams who had a close game throughout the super bowl, but then it comes down to a coin toss. Sure Falcons blew it in the end, but it was still tied and they deserve a fair chance not a 50/50.
ugh stop saying that. Yes they did, but the odds should be even in overtime. its kinda ridiculous that because the Falcons didnt win the coin toss, their offense which is the best offense we've seen in at least 10 years and is obviously the strength of their team over their defense, doesn't even get to see the field. Thats just wrong.

That argument is stupid. Both teams scored an equal number of points during a 60 minute game. They deserve to go into overtime with an equal chance of winning. It's absurd that a coin toss can sway the odds so heavily of the outcome of a SB OT game.
Edit:
I've heard three main arguments for why NFL overtime is fair, all of which make no sense.
Coin tosses don't decide the game. Either team can still win.
Obviously winning the coin toss doesn't mean you automatically win the game, but you can't deny it gives the winner a huge advantage. Why should any team get an advantage in Superbowl overtime?
If they deserve to win, the Falcons should be able to stop the Pats in overtime.
I've been hearing this argument after every overtime game I can remember. How can anybody reasonably argue that it's just as easy to make a defensive stop AND score as it is to just score?
If the Falcons deserved to win, they shouldn't have blown a huge lead.
It doesn't matter how or when they scored their points. Both teams had 60 minutes to score as many points as they can, and both scored 28. Since they performed equally in regular time, they should both have an equal chance in overtime.
I won't disagree with you, because even winning I think the rules surrounding OT in general are stupid. That said, they are the rules. Everyone knew the rules, and that's' just how that shit goes sometimes. I do hope they change them though. I'm going to go enjoy winning though.
Problem is injuries. The longer games go on, the likeliness of injuries because of how tired they are and how much they're pushing their bodies and the force of each hit.
There's only been 86 playoff games since the new rules, of which 25 of those games ended on the first possession (with 2 of those being defensive wins). That means, 61 games (or 71% of the time) both sides got to possess the ball at least once.
There's nothing wrong. It's just that most people wanted the Falcons to win. So of course people are going to bitch about it.

College is halfway to a great system but falls far too short. Getting rid of kickoffs, punts, and starting at the 25 is not even football anymore.
That said, the general idea of giving each team an equal chance is good. NFL should adopt that part.
College OT is a bastardization of football. Just play 8 mins with 2 timeouts or make sure that each team gets the ball no matter what.

doesnt make the patriot's win any less valid though, if the falcons won the coin toss pats fans would be complaining the same way and you'd be telling them the same thing youre being told now
I'm not saying it does. I'm not even trying to make excuses for the Falcons, so don't assume. My only point is that the OT rules are stupid, regardless of who benefits from them and who gets shafted. The rules are the rules, but the rules are also stupid sometimes.
I think the problem is that you can technically complain about these rules at any time. These rules were well known to be stupid long before the Superbowl, but most people are only going to complain about it shortly after the game, which simply takes away some of the prestige of the winning team when people are more focused on bitching about them having won off shitty rules than just acknowledging they won.
but most people are only going to complain about it shortly after the game
Which is fair because of what's at stake in a game of these proportions. I think plenty of fans are acknowledging the Pats are deserving of winning. They did make the comeback after all. That doesn't mean that OT rules don't create an opportunity for one team to get shafted

It's not a cop out because it simply isn't fair. Both teams had the same chance at winning the coin flip, but both teams didn't have the same opportunity to win the game. In the vacuum that is OT, the Pats were 1/1. The Falcons were 0/0. Both teams didn't get an equal opportunity
It's highly unlikely that the first possession wins the game.
Out of the 86 overtime games played since 2012, only 25 of them have ended on the first possession (with 2 of them being defensive TDs). Meaning 71% of the time or 61 games, both teams got to possess the ball.
People just wanted to see if Atlanta could get one more drive, even though they failed 3x (4 if you count the very last drive with 55 seconds) to score even a FG to ice the game.
In fact, if I were a coach, depending on the situation, it would be smarter to receive the ball then go first. Because a FG wins the game for the team that possess it second. And teams have done that before as well.
I'm not mad at the Pats. The momentum was clearly on NE's side and once OT rolled around, I suspect they would have won a "college style" OT as well. It's still no excuse to have a dumb rule. I'm mad at the NFL for being unwilling to fix it.

I mean technically before the coin toss they do have an equal chance. It's just that too much is out of their control.
I'm old fashioned but I think they should tie based on your argument. They both had an equal time to score in what is considered an entire football game. But yeah, they should just play another quarter.
To help your point: The coin toss gives a huge advantage as one team has the first chance to score first which isn't really fair.
The overtime situation doesn't tell us who scored more points than the other. It tells us who scored first with a massive advantage in a sport that favors offenses.
You can deny it gives the winner a huge advantage, because statistically it doesn't. The old rule (field goal wins on the first possession) did, which is why they changed it to this.
Essentially the advantage of a touchdown immediately ending it is offset by the increased chance your opponent can win it immediately (because a field goal is also an option for them).
How about this, if you have a bad defense, you should be penalized for that. Likewise, if you have a bad offense, you should be penalized for that as well.
Yes, the old rules were really bad, with a FG winning the game. But pointing to college and saying that's better, doesn't make your argument better. At the speed and how worn out their bodies get as time continues, you're going to get more injuries.
Then you're just going to have a game of who can last longer in scoring, if both sides have "unstoppable offenses" and get to start at the red zone.
Honestly, people want defensive games, but they also want offensive shootouts.
And are we ignoring the fact that Atlanta had pretty much 3 possessions in the end (not counting the last possession with like a minute left), and a FG would've iced the game.
First drive at the end, -10 yards (NE 41 to Atl 49, after a failed onside kick)
Second drive, 9 yards (Atl 27 to Atl 36)
Third drive, 45 yards (Atl 10 to NE 45)
And if you really wanted to, their 4th and final drive (55 seconds and no TOs) then net 16 yards.
Regardless, let's say in a hypothetical example if both teams were scoring left and right, and then it's "down to a coin toss" then you should be penalized for having a bad defense. If you're only an offense or a only a defense, then you shouldn't have rules bent towards your favor in any way.
I feel like, people just wanted to see if Atlanta could pull one more drive, even though they had done nothing in the past 3 (or 4 if you want to count the last drive).
I don't think there's anything wrong with these rules. Because people just believe that any offense can march down the field and get a TD because they see someone like BRADY do that. And I'm like, fucking if Brees could do what Brady did, we probably win a lot more games. Face it, there aren't many QBs who can drive 75 yards to win a game with a defense knowing that you're only going to pass.
But it's more likely that the first team who gets the ball will more than likely punt, and then the second team just has to get to the opponent's 33 yard line for a 40 yard FG.
Since 2012, 86 OT games have been played including playoffs.
Of which 25 games ended with a TD. 5 ended in ties, and 56 games ended with a FG.
Meaning, 71% of the time, both teams get possession.

Are you seriously going to argue that making a defensive stop and then scoring is just as easy as only needing to score?
The question you asked in your comment was "Are you seriously going to argue that making a defensive stop and then scoring is just as easy as only needing to score?"
I believe the way the overtime rules work in the NFL is that if the receiving team only scores a FG, then the kicking team gets a chance to match with their own FG or win with a touchdown.
So I would argue that depending on the matchup of offenses, special teams, and defenses (and conditions) it might be easier for the kicking team to win. They can get a stop and win with a FG, which may or may not be harder than scoring the initial touchdown.
I am not against trying out college overtime rules in the NFL. They do sound more fair, but I rarely watch college games so I will have to take your word on how they work out in practice.

The team to go 2nd has more information. The 1st doesn't know whether it needs a FG or a TD, the 2nd team does.
That doesn't put them at an advantage, the 2nd team doesn't even know if they're gonna get the chance to touch the ball.
I'll put it this way. If it's fair then why do you never see OT coin toss winners defer? And how come the home crowd cheers when they win the coin toss in OT?
LnGrrrR ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:25:13 on February 8, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, I mean if each team got a chance to touch the ball regardless, the 2nd team would know whether or not they would need to a TD or could settle for a FG.
And I don't think it's fair. But I don't think there is a "fair" way to do it in football, where offense and defense are so strictly defined. You would likely need another full quarter, because even a 5 or 10 min overtime could be greatly affected by a 7 or 8 min drive.
I'm having a hard time feeling sympathetic for the Falcons when they let the Patriots score 25 unanswered to tie it, then allowed a TD in OT to finish them off.

Both teams scored the same number of points at the end of regulation.
Yeah, for the record I think it's a dumb rule too. I just have a very hard time believing it decided the game when the Falcons had every chance in the world to end it. They allowed two 2 point conversions, let Matt Ryan get sacked out of FG range (led to a punt), turned the ball over (led to a Patriots TD), had possession with 1 min left in the 4th Q and didn't score, committed a PI on Bennett in OT to bring the Patriots 1st and a few yards.
It's easier to stop the team from scoring a TD than it is to drive down and score a TD. Otherwise teams would score a TD more often than not.

Because if they make the stop they only have to kick a FG which essentially shortens the field by ~30-40 yards. IF you make that first stop, your chances of winning go up astronomically.
The biggest issue with the Pats winning the toss in this game is that the atlanta defense was gassed by the end of the game and losing the toss meant they had to stay out on the field even longer. They were noticeably slower to the ball.
I agree the rule should be changed, but doesn't a coin toss give both teams an equal chance at gaining said advantage? Last time I checked the odds of winning the coin toss were 50/50.

It isn't the Patriots fault that they won. If the game went the Falcons way, nobody would be bitching about OT rules.
First team gets a chance to score. They don't know what the reply will be, so they need to go for the TD, risking turnovers. The second team can stop at the 35 yard line and kick to win.
Really though, the rules should either be a time period (15 minutes, 4th Q timing rules) or first touchdown, with the second team to possess always getting the right of reply.
It's not fair, but it's not really designed to be fair. Professional football is hazardous. Playing professional football while tired is extremely hazardous. Overtime rules are designed to find a winner in the quickest time possible. I agree that it penalizes the team that doesn't get the ball first, and should be changed accordingly. But it's moving in right direction at least.
I don't hate the new rules. Much better than the old rules where a FG wins. That was much much more dependent on the coin toss.
The thing is where will it end? If they change the rules to make sure both qbs touch the ball, then someone will complain that both qbs didn't touch the ball twice. Ya know?
I agree with your point about the coin toss. But the rules were agreed to before the contest. If most of the people think its unfair, then the rules can be changed by the Rules committee.
Well look what might have happened had Atlanta won the toss.
Their offence had only managed 7 points in the second half so I think they would not have scored a touchdown on their opening drive (at least they were less likely to have).
Meanwhile the Atlanta defense looked gassed by the end of the 4th and didn't show any change in overtime.
My point is that if the outcome of the coin toss were different I think the outcome of the game would still be the same.

Eh, personally I think it is fair. The first team can only score a touchdown to win, and statistically a TD and punt aren't that far off. If you punt, I'll assume similar field position as a kick off - often if forced to punt quickly u could be giving away worse field position though. Because the second team can then score a field goal to win, they aren't forced to pressure for the last 30ish yards to confirm a touchdown, yards where there is serious risk for a turnover, or just being forced to kick a field goal, on which case both teams get equal chance to win. As such, receiving might not always be the best choice - if you trust your defense, securing field position and then going for a field goal could be easier. People only assume receiving is superior because they see offense as being in control of their fate, the driving force. In reality, offense and defense control their fates equally, and therefore the NFL overtime is indeed fair.

I would agree with you when the rule used to be a field goal to win. It was too stupid and I felt like whoever won the toss was heavily favored to win. Now I'm not so sure... a TD drive isn't assured to anyone. Even the pats got help last night w/ that PI call. I'm not questioning the call but who knows if they actually punch it in w/o that call.

If you kick the ball to them and stop them before they cross the 40 you get the ball with much better starting field position. Also your defence gets the chance to make an interception or force a fumble which allows you to just kick a field goal to win.
Did the defense not have a chance to stop them? Like they did in the first two quarters?

1 attack each. Best score wins. If tied, try again. It seems fairer than this game where 2 offensive powerhouses go face to face, but only one offense gets to touch the ball. Similar to how 1 team gets kcikoff in the first and the other in the third: equal opportunity. IMO anyways
Second team to get the ball has an even bigger advantage in knowing the outcome of the first teams drive, if you change the rules so that the the other team gets a chance to tie after giving up touchdown then it will just switch to deferring 100% of the time.

Well in the regular season you give them max two shots each and then end it in a tie. It'll still be quicker than a full 15 minute quarter with the same result.
Stanley Cup playoffs end in continuous ot until someone scores. TV networks work round it. I've seen game go to 3rd OT and each is 20 min plus 16 minutes break. So even if they scored in the first minute if 3rd OT that's 70 more minutes. Yet it works.
How is that any better? If both teams score a TD, then whoever gets the ball next and scores wins? How is that any different than what they have now? Because whoever gets 3rd possession would also end up being determined by the coin toss.

Atlanta's D Line is arguably the best in the league and tonight demonstrated they were fucking monsters. It's not like their D was bad - they first half their secondary and Line were insane. They were fucking dialed in.
Atlanta played high school football - 48 minutes. They were dropping back to pass repeatedly when they could have had Freeman run and mulch clock.
If they can't stop the other team from marching down the field, they don't deserve to win.
So if ATL won the coin toss and did the same, the Patriots deserved to lose without ever putting Brady on the field?
Face it: as a beneficiary of these rules plenty of times in the past, they're ridiculous. When people are holding their breath for a coin toss, you know the rules are horse shit.

It's also about stopping the other team. I hear defense is a part of the game.
A coin toss determines who gets the ball first. They still play the game and stops need to get made if you want to win.
If each team having an equal number of possessions is fair, then why bother with kick offs? Just play the college play off system but play it for the whole game.
You need to balance fairness and the fun of unpredictability. If Atlanta can force a turnover or make a good stop, they have a significant advantage now.
Are you going to argue that making a defensive stop and kicking a field goal is just as easy as simply scoring a touchdown? The team which loses the coin flip is at an immediate disadvantage.
If I went through every OT game since the rule change a few years ago, do you think winning the coin toss would have a correlation to winning the game?
MikeyNg ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:25:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Correlation is not causation.
I don't know why you think scoring a TD is so easy. For nearly 3 quarters, Brady couldn't score a TD. Yet, your argument appears to be that getting the ball = TD.
The Patriots punted 4 times and scored 4 TDs in the Super Bowl. The Falcons punted 4 times and scored 3 Offensive TDs. So yes, I would argue that forcing a team to punt is just about as likely as scoring a TD.
In fact, the Patriots were in 4 down territory for the entire Q4 and then some. So they were even less likely to punt in the game. So - I don't know why you think getting the ball is an automatic TD.
Were the Falcons at an immediate disadvantage from the coin flip? yes - their D was gassed. But that's part of the game also.
I don't know what type of solution you're looking for. If you're looking for fair, then we should go to college OT rules. But then, why even play the first four quarters? Just give each team 6 possessions on the opponent's 25 yard line. That would be the most fair, wouldn't it?
I find sudden death OT to be terrific and exciting. Any play can tip the game - a fumble, interception, or a big run, and it's over. Every single play is important. That's football. You can lose on a kick off return. Is that fair??? You can lose from missing a PAT. Is that fair?
This is the logical argument. These people are acting like if both teams played well the whole time to get into overtime, only then should both teams get a chance in OT
While I agree the OT rules need to be revised so both offenses get a shot to score...The falcons defense (who supposedly is the best defense in the league) let the pats walk all over them and failed to stop 31 points from being scored on them. They fucked up, the pats took a fat dump on their lives, and the OT rules need to be revised.
The patriots were on fire. They did in 1 quarter what took the falcons the entire game. They scored 31 unanswered points. Even if the falcons won the toss, does anyone think they were actually going to win..?

I'm not a football person. So let me get that out of the way.
How would you expect it to work? To just continue the game? Yes, that would be an uninterrupted continuation of the game. But how is that anymore fair than flipping a coin like at the start of the game?
You're into sudden death. Next score wins. The absolute fairest method of handling that situation would be to start from scratch. A continuation could be called unfair because you're extending beyond regulation playtime from what should be over with.
I say the coin toss was the fairest way to handle 2 teams that have identical points after regulation time. Either side has a 50/50 chance. I mean they could of fought for the ball at the 50 yard line like in basketball.
I have no care over which team would of won. Physical sports aren't my things. But I have no doubt in my mind that after seeing the momentum the Patriots were carrying, that no matter how it was handled or who won the coin toss it would of ended the exact same way.

Yes, the problem is the "next score wins" part, not that overtime starts with a kickoff.
Absolutely it did. I celebrated winning the coin toss as if we had just won the whole thing because I knew Brady was in beast mode. This gives you a great opportunity to bitch about overtime rules though so don't let me stand in the way of that...
Both teams had an equal number of points at the end of regulation, though. This "they blew the lead" nonsense is bullshit.
The NFL should take influence from college football, a league where both teams are allowed the chance to possess the ball in overtime. It works better and makes games more fair and exciting.

I don't remember any Seahawks fans bitching after we beat the Packers in OT in the NFC Championship game. I wanted the Falcons to win too, but this was one of those games you just have to appreciate greatness. Like when the Sonics lost to the Bulls in the finals. If you have to lose, it might as well be to the GOAT.
The game came down to the falcons not having an answer for Brady. Sure the Pats could've lost the toss and still been in the same position to defend against ATL. There's offense and defense that make up a championship team. (see the patriots)
But the defensive team is at a disadvantage -- they have to produce a 4th down or a turnover and then score. The offensive team merely has to score a TD to win.
I don't know why you even deny this. Do you think teams which win the coin toss have a higher likelihood of winning the game? I can go check the numbers after I get an answer.

With the current rules of the coin toss Atlanta had a chance if they won the flip. Because the Atlanta defense was done. While the patriots defense had improved massively from the first half. But the Atlanta offense might have been able to score a TD on the drive an win.
But if you give each team a shot, the patriots win. Atlanta was garbage since after the 4th and they would have been ran over. So the sudden death coin flip victory might have saved Atlanta from their gigantic throw.

Because the Falcons didn't force them to. Why is offense more important than defense? They're equal parts of a team. If your defense isn't good enough to stop a team in the most important drive of your season then maybe you don't deserve to win.

Both teams did have a chance. The Falcons could have stopped them from scoring a touchdown.
Falcons got so cocky. They could've kneeled in the Red Zone and kicked a FG and put it out of reach. They lost this game almost more than the Pats won it.
Did the falcons have a chance to score in overtime though?
That ^ destroys your point. They were tied at end of regulation. One team had the opportunity to score first and end the game. The other team did not have that opportunity. That's why people are pissed/annoyed.
I'm not bitching about it because that's the agreed upon rules before you take the coin toss and if you don't like it, it should have been dealt with well before the game even started, but you have to admit the fact that the patriots had an opportunity the falcons did not have, based entirely on chance.
Likewise if the falcons had won and scored on first possession, the pats would not have had the opportunity to score first and win.
But yeah, those are the rules so haters can stfu... but I'd be super open to changing the overtime rules to make sure equal opportunity is had by both teams.

Trying to get away with holding calls the entire game. They don't deserve shit.
Edit, since it's common courtesy to point out edits: he edited with the rest of his argument. Comment originally only had the first paragraph, which is the dumbest thing I've read tonight
sure man but it only becomes exceedingly prominent after someone loses. and they get all salty and blame the rules. there were lots of other OT games this year in the NFL but those fans werent as salty if their team lost. but what a parade of crybabies right now.
id be more pissed that they choked away a 28-3 lead and let brady pass for 460 yards on their defense.
Whether or not people are sad about losing has nothing to do with how bad a rule is. I don't really watch football, I was blown away when the people I was watching with told me that was the rule. It's hilariously one-sided.
not watching football doesnt make you more objective or give any more credibility to your opinion. its just as meaningless as everyone here, including mine. its just funny you mentioned you dont watch football and then gave your opinion on the rules of football like you're objective about it.
its just salt. its a bunch of crybabies and salty people. No one complained when the rules were announced at the beginning of he OT period. No complaining like this during the regular season or postseason. Just now when the team loses after choking a 28-3 lead.
It's not one sided at all. One team gets offense. One team gets defense. Each time has the ability to control the outcome. Atlanta can play good defense and not allow NE to score. Did they do that? No they didn't. They lost the game. And now people want to cry about the rules. It's always something to whine about so their team doesnt have to be accountable for losing. "its not fair its not fair" blah blah blah whine whine whine. You can keep crying about it if you wan, but in a couple days you won't give a shit anymore.
I didn't have a dog in the fight. I didn't want the pats to win like everyone else, and the petty side of me didn't want the Falcons either cause it would be another team to get theirs before the Eagles. This was the best possible outcome.

Haha, no it wasn't. It was decided when Atlanta died in the 4th quarter. I don't have a horse in this race, but it's ridiculous to think the coin toss decided this game homie.
The game was decided by two two point conversions in the fourth quarter. Or a sack followed by a holding penalty to knock the Falcons out of field goal range in the fourth when they had a chance to end the comeback.
Or by allowing a 28-3 lead to be pissed away.
Could overtime rules use some work? Sure. But the fact of the matter is the high flying Atlanta offense only put up 14 points without turnovers, and couldn't move the ball at all in the second half.

Not the way it's done in all other levels of football and other sports. Both sides should be given a chance. Atlanta gets the ball and fails on offense then Pats win. That is both teams getting a chance.
It is ALWAYS going to be a debated set up. I never see debate about other overtime rules in other sports.
And the Patriots defense, which allowed the exact same amount of points but earlier in the game, played better?
Both teams scored the exact same amount of points, regardless of who's were more recent. Sure the Falcons definitely should've closed it out. But the Patriots also shouldn't have let them get ahead by 25. Both teams had a good and bad half, the only difference is the Falcons was in the second half.
It doesn't matter. There have been great defensive teams and great offensive teams that have won the Superbowl. You have to be the best team at both sides of the ball.
Atlanta had a historically good offense this season, but if you can't play defense you can't beat Tom Brady.
So if its a tie, and you win the toss, you win the game if your attack preforms well and scores a TD, but if you lose the toss you are expected to have a good defence and THEN go on to score when you have the ball? Surely it always favours the team who wins the toss?
No, it depends entirely on how good your offense or defense is. There have been teams who have elected to kick and won OT because they were confident their defense could hold the opposing team to a field goal. Also, if you score on defense you win automatically. People are acting like NFL teams can't get stops or turnovers. The Falcons scored a TD on an interception earlier in the game.
The only way the Patriots could win on the first drive is with a touchdown. If they scored only a FG, they'd have to play defense.
I understand all of your points, but I still don't understand how the Falcons aren't given the football after the Pats TD, with at least the chance to score one. The game last night was decided by half of both teams which seems ridiculous to me.
The Falcons would have gotten the ball if the Patriots scored a FG or less. A touchdown ends the game.
Think about it like this, regardless of whether the Falcons scored or not, the game would always be decided by half of a team, because it's sudden death after that. There's always an odd number that leads to a receiving team's victory. They can't just keep playing back and forth all night, otherwise you'd end up with 5OT games like in College Football.
I dunno man, I watch soccer and the very occasional time that it goes to extra time and then penalties and THEN sudden death in penalties, if you take the first pen, your opponents gets the chance to draw it up. If you miss, fair enough, the game is over and you lose but at least you have the opportunity.
It just feels wrong to have a game decided by half a team. The coin toss should have no bearing on the result of the game and judging by peoples comments and Google search, the winners of the coin toss have a slight statistical advantage.
I might be slightly biased because I've watched a significant amount of NFL football where the OT rules were pure sudden death, any scoring wins and not these revamped rules. So to me, I see it as an adequate enough improvement and I'm happy with it, but other people would like to see it changed more.
I'm not going to pretend I have the 100% objectively right answer on it.
They are an NFL team with the Super Bowl on the line. I'm sorry but if you can't manage to hold them to a field goal then I have no sympathy, and that's not even getting into the fact that they completely choked the entire second half. The overtime rules are fine.
Ya but your exact same logic applies to the pats in the first half... they shouldn't have given up so many unanswered points. And now we're back to the coin toss giving an unequal opportunity to one team based on chance. Doesn't make sense, and your argument doesn't hold water.

I agree. At least give the other team a chance to posses and score a touchdown to counter. What if the falcons won the toss and scored a touchdown? Basically comes down to a coin toss which is no fun.
Edit: yes, the Falcons blew it. Just in general, in a tie, each team gets a chance to counter. Baseball doesn't end the game at the top of the 10th if someone scores.
Except college decides who is better at playing from the 25, a very different thing than having to dive down the field. If the NFL allowed both teams to play on offense it would be perfect.

Then push it back. OT rules are literally the one thing CFB ruleset has over NFL rules. And NFL OT is the worst rule in American professional sports.
But still not perfect. They're fair in the sense that both teams have to play offense and defense, but they still ignore one of the 3 crucial phases of the game: special teams. By giving teams the ball at the 25, you take the field position battle out of the game. Football isn't football without that. The whole game is one big battle to position the ball. CFB OT is more fair, but it's more like a minigame than actual football. Plus you often end up with multiple OTs and ridiculously inflated scores because neither gassed defense can stop the offenses from scoring.
The best OT would just be a continuation of the regular game. Treat it like a 5th quarter. Flip a coin, then kickoff. The game ends either when both teams have had an equal number of possessions and are no longer tied.

Yeah, I hate the college system. I like that teams get equal chance, but hate that teams are given the ball in field goal range.
I mean there's really not strategy in punting. If its fourth down and you're not inside your opponents 35-40 you punt and you punt to pin them as far back as you can. That sums it up that's punting strategy. Yes yes there are situations that call for fakes or abnormal go for it vs punt, but still...
Basically, no time on the clock, and sudden death if the first possession does not score.
If the first team scores, the second team gets a kickoff and a chance to score. If they fail, game over.
I even think college is not right. Play a shorten overtime, if there is still a tie go to college rules (ball at the 25, both teams have a chance, etc.) then sudden death. It allows for both teams multiple of chances, and doesn't allow for a team to catch a lucky pass or two and win the game.
It puts the defense and offense on the same level.

Nah. Defense is part of the game. If you can't handle your business on that side you deserve to lose. Offense is already to favored. I don't want to see the defense get destroyed two times in over time
NE couldn't handle their business on that side in the first half. ATL couldn't handle their business on that side in the second half. Who deserve to lose? ATL, just because NE got an extra possession?

Look at the time of possession. Falcons had chances to win and they couldn't do it. They had a chance in over time and couldn't do it.
I get its a a gray area because what can it hurt but with the rules we have now the team that deserves to win wins. I don't want or need more overtime or the game to be more like college.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I was (heavily) rooting for Atlanta, but they couldn't stop Brady. In fact, if they would have stopped them once in the last 3 drives they would have won.
I think the new NFL overtime that eliminates the cheap FG winner on the first drive is a good system.

I don't disagree. But it wasn't ALL about the coin toss like the guy i responded too suggested.
Since the NFL instituted modified overtime rules, there have been 73 overtime games, including postseason and Monday Night Football. Three have been ties. In the other 70, the team that receives the ball first has won 38 of those, or 54.2 percent.

I think they're still fine, are people forgetting that Ryan got sacked to get out of FG range that would've pretty much ended the game.
There were SO many times where the Falcons could've just closed it out.
This isn't just an offensive game, it's a defensive game too.
Before it wasn't really a huge defensive game, offense had to drive 42 yards from a touchback to basically win the game with a FG (45 yard fg) or maybe 57 yards for a 30 yard FG.
Now a team has to travel 75 yards to win the game. Plenty of opportunities to stop them.
Basically comes down to a coin toss which is no fun.
Well, I mean, yeah that about sums it up.
If you ignore the four quarters of gameplay beforehand, of course.

Or, why not do what's done in the NBA, just give them a shorter quarter, say 10 minutes, and just let them duke it out. Why change the rules of the game just because the teams tied at the end of regulation?
It's a mix between old NFL rules and NCAA rules. TBH I agree that a TD should end it and a FG should match. Overtime isn't meant to be some drawn out extra quarter. It's to decide the stalemate.
The other team had a chance to play defense. They let the other team drive the length of the field. There's more to the game than offense. Champions have to be able to do everything well.

Then they would have won the game. That's the rules. I'd way rather have it end on a walkoff TD instead of some dumb scramble 4th down play when the team who got scored on has gone for it on 4 straight 4th downs and finally runs out of luck.
Everyones acting like a TD is so easy to score lmao
Thats why they got rid of the field goal rule. But defense is part of the game. And if you cant even stop the team from scoring a touchdown on the first possession, well your team doesnt deserve to win.

I'm a pats fan and I agree with you. I'm still happy we won that coin toss.
I would've given my left testicle to see Pats lose today and I think the overtime rule is dumb, but frankly I don't think it cost Falcons the game here. The better team won.
Falcons 'had a chance' for a whole half and let it slip by. Pats defense did its job when it needed to and let Tom Brady take over the game. Falcons had every opportunity to win before OT.
Yes, I agree the falcons had a colossal collapse and probably didn't deserve to win the game. The game also exposed how broken overtime rules are in the NFL. Both of those things can be true. What if the coin flip went the other way and the patriots who were rolling never got a chance to field their entire offensive unit and lost? Each team should get the Same opportunities to capture a win in overtime, because they are tied at that point. Both teams played equally in the only category that matters, points.
At the end of the day both teams had a chance to win but one team randomly had slightly more of a chance. For no reason at all.
FTFY. It's significantly different from how you phrased it, since in the following years, deferring teams won more than receiving teams.
In any case, I'll accept the evidence that receiving the ball first in the second half rather than the first is not a huge advantage, or perhaps not an advantage that most coaches are able to take advantage of, I believe it has a clear logical advantage, which is not the bogus one of "momentum" that your article cites.
Knowing how many points you need to score in the half where you have the possession edge gives you the information to make better use of your advantage than if you had the possession advantage in the first half, where it is less clear what pace you should be playing at. For teams that are good at clock management, that may not be a huge edge, but it is an edge.
The Patriots needed to score 18 points in the second half. That meant they needed it to be played at as fast a pace (i.e. include as many drives) as possible. Starting off the half with control of the ball, gave them that bit more opportunity to do that, at least if you believe that the offense has more control than defense over the pace of a drive, which I believe it does.
TL;DR: OK, the statistical evidence is unclear and I'll understand if you don't agree that there's any advantage at all to deferring, but I believe that it confers a slight, but real informational advantage in the game.
Don't you think they still deserved the opportunity to make a drive?

If both offenses are so strong that it's impossible to stop a TD then the OT would go on forever.

I just think the rules should be more similar to college. Those overtimes don't last forever so idk why it would be assumed it'd last forever in the NFL. And I get that, the falcons had plenty of chances to close it out before ot. But the thing is, OT is a clean slate, basically a new game, and I just don't think it's fair that both teams don't get a shot. What would be the negative of both teams getting a shot like in ncaa?
bocboda ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:48:50 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I wouldn't mind it honestly, but they'd at least have to give the ball to them at like midfield in the NFL. But I also don't have much of a problem with the current format like so many others seem to have. My only problem with the old format was shit like what happened in the Saints-Vikings championship, but they fixed that so you have to score a TD to end it. And I'm of the mind that if you can't win the game in regulation AND you can't stop the opposing team from scoring a TD with the game on the line, you don't deserve to win.

If anything is going to get the NFL to change the OT rules, it's a Tom Brady-led Patriots winning the Super Bowl on the first drive of OT
I think the exact opposite. I think if the situation were reversed, if the Falcons won by scoring a touchdown after winning the coin toss, that would've greatly hastened a change in NFL OT rules. It would've meant that the quite likely greatest QB in NFL history never got to touch the ball in OT even after mounting a truly Herculean second-half comeback. Many, many fans, including Patriots-hating me, would've been rightfully livid at that outcome.

It's like 54% to 46% odds of winning whether you win the flip or not. So yes, it influenced it, but it's not s slam dunk either way and not definitive at all.
If the receiving quarterback had a more than 50% chance of scoring on that first drive then yes, the OT rules influenced the outcome in a significant way

Yeah, lets just ignore the 31 unanswered points that required 2 2-pt conversions and a giant sack to take Atlanta out of fg range and blame it all on the coinflip.
Atlanta might have deserved the ball because of dumb ot rules, but they did not deserve to win.
They really need to fix OT. College overtime is significantly better but if you wanna keep it the same then at least let both teams have a chance in the playoffs
I'm a CFB fan through and through. The SB is literally the first NFL game I've seen all season. I thought the rules were the same in NFL for OT and was thoroughly confused when the Patriots won. Shit doesn't make any sense at all.
To be fair, I hated nfl ot rules before the last three years. Any time where statically speaking a game gets decided by a coin toss, you have a problem
The reality is, the Pats pass rush was owning the Falcons o-line for most of the second half, and I don't see any evidence that giving the Falcons another chance at the ball wouldn't have made any difference.
So what? You listed the Falcons last few drives. What about the Patriots first 3 quarters?

This is NOT sudden death. Its bullshit. First team to score wins. That is not sudden death. If the falcons had a chance and didn't score then they it would be a fair win.
I can simultaneously hold 2 views that are very different but yet do not conflict:
A: NFL overtime rules are bullshit and unfair as always
and
B: The Falcons don't deserve any sympathy for allowing the largest 4th quarter comeback in superbowl history and pissing away an absolutely massive lead
I imagine this is what most people are feeling in here.
Still doesn't take away from the fact that the OT rules are unfair.
It was unfair when Packers lost to Seattle after Aaron Rodgers led an amazing comeback and then him and his offense never even got a chance in OT to play a fair game of football. And it's unfair today when Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Freeman, Coleman and the rest of the Falcons offense don't have a chance to prove themselves against the Patriots defense.
Think about it this way though. Yeah they had the whole half to make stops, and definitely blew it.
Even so, they still allowed the exact same amount of points as the Patriots defense allowed. Do points at the end of the game count for more or what? Weren't they tied? Is that not what a tie is?
I would agree with that, except for the simple fact that they were ahead by that much. The only way I see it should be different is if both teams are tied all the way up to OT. In a game like this, I don't feel bad at all that they didn't get a chance. More than likely, they were just going to put up a dud, like they did the whole 2nd half.
More than likely, absolutely. But it's ridiculous that they don't even get a chance. Not as bad in this game even, imagine if it's a back-and-forth game all the way, and stays within a score with a shootout? Team that gets the coin toss has a statistically higher chance to win, which is garbage.

I don't. I think it's a loser's excuse, even worse than the typical whiny loser excuses against bad calls by refs. At least a bad call can actually be unfair since it can punish you for something you didn't do. The overtime rules are there for everyone to see right from the beginning, and you have a 50/50 shot of being the first team on offense.
And it's not like winning the toss means you get like a penalty kick. Your defense is going on the field. Make a stop. For crying out loud you don't even actually have to stop them from scoring entirely, you just have to hold them to a field goal. If you really can't do either, and you let them march down and score a touchdown in a single drive after you failed to close the game on them during the 60 minutes of regulation you had, you've lost. Losing sucks. Move on and get better.

Like i said, i dont watch a lot of football... I had to look up the overtime rules when i realized it was going into ot. Objectively i feel that its an unfair system... The falcons never even got a chance on offense... If they did get a chance on offense there is a MUCH higher chance that THEY would have scored instead.... The ref even said in his own words its like a new game, so regardless of how the game went before OT, if OT was its own game it would be unfair.

I'm not blaming this particular loss on the rules at all, but do you really think the current overtime system is fair? What if a game is very offensive throughout and both defenses are having a hard time making stops and then it goes to overtime? Whoever wins the coin flip has a much higher chance of winning than just 50/50. Should games really be decided like that?
Again, I'm not saying Falcons lost because of that. They lost because they couldn't hold on to a 28-3 lead. All I'm saying is that I think it's dumb that both teams aren't given a shot like in ncaa.
The fact that regardless of who lost, the losing team would complain about the rules is a pretty hard showing that the rules are stupid.
The fact that the first team can instantly win the game without a rebuttal means luck plays a large factor into who is going to win, and luck should never be a large factor in a game of skill and strategy.
Seriously. What the hell were the offense and defense both doing in the last half? You can't say overtime rules beat you when you beat yourself that bad.
The first genuine comment from a Falcons fan that isn't salty bitching. I appreciate that, and you guys surprised me tonight...you absolutely deserved to be here. Worthy opponents.
That's a stupid argument. If the falcons had driven down the field their first drive, the rules still would have been dumb.

Not sure what you're looking for here. Patriots were owning the Falcons since the start of the 4th quarter. The only rule change that would've helped the Falcons is "if you have a 25 point lead, you're automatically the winner".
I completely agree and maybe now that they won the Patriots a Super Bowl people will actually fucking listen to me when I say the OT rules are bullshit. Usually they assume I'm just salty from times that the Pats have lost under these OT rules.

The defense just has to make one stop.
The offense has to drive the whole length of the field.
Tom Brady makes it look a bit easier than most. I agree it is not completely fair but they still have a chance to stop them. They should use college rules but Atlanta shouldn't blow leads like that.
Oh fuck off. There's 11 guys on both sides of the field. Atlanta shit the bed and this is how games have always been decided. Used to be able to do it with just a FG, in fact.
Edelman's catch is probably the best I've ever seen (in terms of difficulty, concentration, proximity of opponents nearby, and how meaningful it was during the game)
Although I'm not a big fan of the overtime rules, but are people really this mad about how NE won? I mean ATL blew a 28-3 lead in 1 1/2 quarters. They shouldn't be blaming the OT rules, yeah they suck but it shouldn't have come to that and it's silly to blame the rules that have been in place.

Neither are good, but college rules do work better in my opinion.
Personally I wouldn't want college OT rules in the NFL. Don't get me wrong I think the rules need to change. But I would prefer it to be a full field drive, like it is now but if the first team gets a TD then the second team gets rebuttals, the only exception to the rebuttal rules being if a team got a safety. I feel like it would showcase more of the NFL skills and fierce competition.

Yah definitely. Adopt the "trading blows" part. Not the "get rid of special teams" part
The NFL overtime rules are as good as they get. Any one that says college rules are better are just crazy. The ONLY way they can be better is to play a full quarter and play another if there is a tie. Honestly, that would be much worse than was is done right now.
People always bitch about OT rules when the team they like loses, but statistically, you cant get much better with the NFL's setup. Since changing to a touchdown wins/fg gives the other team a shot, either team has a 50/50 shot at winning the game regardless of whether or not they win the coin toss.

For everyone complaining about the overtime rules you know the Falcons could've just elected to play some defense instead of collapsing like a house of cards ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
My friends and I joked at halftime that the only way the Patriots could come back was through ritualistic sacrifice using goat blood. Then they came back. And many of their jerseys were stained red.

I didn't stop believing in the Patriots since I've watched a lot of games (not only American football) with this kind of scenario. But I have to salute the Falcons because they put a hell of a game but they forgot that an American football game doesn't last 45min.

They match possessions. So in this case since the Patriots scored a TD the Falcons then have a chance to score a TD and if they don't then the Patriots win.

College rules still give a clear advantage to the team that gets the ball second. That team knows exactly how many points it needs to tie/win and can therefore go for it on fourth down, go for the two-point conversion etc.
I see two solutions to make it truly fair:
Implement college rules without field goals and without either the extra point or two-point conversion so that there is in fact no strategic advantage to going second.
Go back to sudden-death and implement the bidding system detailed in this article. It's pretty awesome.
They had two chances for an interception on that last drive. Collins nipped one and Beasly dropped one. No matter how hard those catches are to make this is the superbowl and you gotta step up

That would have sucked, but we stopped them the last 4 possessions of the game, so I would have liked our chances anyway. Look up the stats, regardless of who wins the coin toss teams have about a 50-50 chance to win. It's about as even if a tiebreaker that you can get.

Not sure why you're being down voted lol
They were up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter my dudes
I'd call that a choke any day... especially during the Superbowl
It was a choke AND the overtime rules are stupid. It's not mutually exclusive.
Edit: I somehow have even less patience for /r/nfl dumbfuckery right now. No, I won't be responding to comments like "Then stop them" as if that makes any sense. Might as well give the game to the first person that scores at all by that logic. Seriously, this sub is retarded as fuck, and normally it's mildly annoying, but right now it's too much. Good night.
When the super bowl consists of teams that got there due to their offensive power, overtime rules only favor the team that wins the coin toss. Only when it's good offense vs good defense do the current overtime rules make sense.
The Falcons, offensive juggernauts that they are, didn't manage a single point in the final 23 minutes of the game. They had 4 possessions to get a single point, and they utterly failed. They literally had the game ending field goal in their grasp before deciding to pass and take a 13 yard sack; that call was even stupider than the Seahawks pass at the 2 yard lane because at least the Seahawks had something to possibly gain for the risk they took. The Falcons had nothing to gain, everything to lose, and that's exactly what they did.
You're exactly right. People are trying to argue you by using a point that has nothing to do with anything. Even in other situations in other games, ot rules still suck. It's not exclusively why the falcons lost, nobodies claiming that. But ot rules need to be fixed imo.
yeah, its really not debatable that the NFL has shitty overtime rules.
Can you imagine if the Falcons had won the coin toss, and scored a TD???? PEople would be PIIIIIISSED That combeack Tom didn't get to see the field. Its all we would be hearing about for the entire offseason, and we might even get a rule change.
Make a stop in OT... defense is part of the game. And yours disappeared in the second half.

If the falcons won the toss and drove down for a TD it's the same stupidity, regardless of the other 60 minutes. Then it turns into "a 25-point comeback is negated by a coin toss." One team statistically has a much higher chance of winning solely because of a coin. The rules are dumb and I hope this highlights it enough to reconsider them.

What proposals do people have to fix the rules? How could they make it fair for both teams? (aka not based on a coin toss)
Why didn't the Patriots have to make a stop in order to win? It seems unfair that in order to get a shot for their offense to score, the Falcons had to make a stop, while the Patriots simply had to win a coin toss.
Right, so a team who is known for their offense should be at a disadvantage to a defensive team. The fact is that if the game is a shootout, OT games are decided by coin tosses, which is dumb.
But the rule will stay because dumb people who want to make snappy statements are apparently on rules committees as well as subreddits.
Just a question, why should the rules change based on how a team finds success? A football team can find success in many ways, offense, defense, forcing TOs, run game, pass game, sacks, etc. The team should conform to the rule, not vice versa.
If two teams favor their offenses, then the game is decided by the coin toss. One team didn't conform while the other didn't. One team got lucky, and in competition, deciding things by blind luck is a pointless endeavor. You can't conform to a goddamn coin toss.
But you can't just change rules around based on what each team is good at, otherwise we would have a team complaining every time. College fans still complain that the second team to go first gets the advantage because they know exactly what they need to get. It would never end. I don't think a team should get a handicap because they are bad at one of the two facets of the game.
But you can't just change rules around based on what each team is good at, otherwise we would have a team complaining every time.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying giving both team the opportunity to possess the ball is fairer to all styles of play, and the hypothetical "teams would complain just as much" is asinine.
College fans still complain that the second team to go first gets the advantage because they know exactly what they need to get.
And then they switch in college as an attempt at fairness. Some rules are going to favor one team or another, but making them as fair as possible should be a priority.
It would never end
Well, that's the dumbest logic there is. Something can't be perfect, so why even bother.
I don't think a team should get a handicap because they are bad at one of the two facets of the game.
No, they get a handicap because they won a coin toss. It's not a matter of one team playing one style and the other is playing another. When both teams are playing well offensively, the game is decided by a coin toss, so the coin toss does give the winning team a handicap in the current system. I can't make this any clearer.
Stop saying the fucking game was decided by a coin toss.it was decided by the pats driving and scoring a TD against you. That's not blind fucking luck. Statistically it's harder to score a TD than it is to stop a team from scoring one. Otherwise teams would score a TD more often than not. The overtime rules aren't stupid. It adds a sudden death high stakes feel to it and just because your team sucks ass at defense doesn't mean the rules are stupid.
Sorry, not enough patience to explain everything wrong with what you just said. Besides, you aren't looking for an explanation, you're looking to troll. Either way, not worth my time.
I'm not looking to troll you asshole. Don't just dismiss what I said. This is all an opinion based argument so there isn't anything "wrong" about what I said. Just because you think overtime is stupid doesn't mean the rules are stupid. I'm so sick of reading dumbass comments from the losing side of how stupid overtime is every time a game is played in ot.
What? Atlanta had the leading sack leader in the NFL and had been getting to Brady all night the first 3 quarters. They just fell apart. Overtime rules are fine, Atlanta just literally fell apart and it resulted in New England making the biggest come back in post season history. Blaming rules for Atlanta losing is the biggest cop-out answer. That game should have never gone to overtime. Atlanta deserved to lose in the end

This right here is the correct insight into the reality here. People have their logic all wrong if they think that just because two teams scored the same amount of points over a decided period of time, the team who caught up at the end is somehow way better? They took longer to get the same amount of points. That isn't better.
Just because you score a lot of points over the other team, it doesn't follow that you would necessarily stop the other team from getting just as many.
Well as the league has become more and more offensive heavy due to rules and play, I think it's completely bullshit the other offense doesn't get a chance to touch the ball after a coin toss.
I always see people complaining about the OT rules, but I never see a better proposition. People say give each team a possession, but that just means that the teams will always defer since they'll know exactly what they need. It allows both defenses to play, but not under equal conditions.
EDIT: An extra quarter would work pretty well imo, but that's usually not the suggestion. My bad for not mentioning that initially.
College rules give like no weight to the defense. They're less coin-toss focused, but starting at the 25? Exciting, but not representative of football.

Because that doesn't change the fact that the game came down to a coin toss. Yes, the Falcons got 28 points faster, and the Patriots got to 28 points later, so what about that timing justifies a coin toss heavily determining the outcome of that intense game?

Coin toss could potentially have gone the other way and the Falcons do the same. You can't tell me you know with 100% certainty that the falcons wouldn't have won if the coin toss went their way.
Aganhim ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 03:41:08 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Absolutely, the team winning the coin toss still has to score a touchdown, but just needing to score the first touchdown is drastically easier than having to stop the first touchdown and then score the first touchdown.
Ya but that's not the point of the issue people have with the overtime rules. The pats offense had the opportunity to win the game on first possession score. The falcons did not have that opportunity. The difference in opportunity was due to a coin toss.
Everybody would be fine if both teams got the same opportunity for possession. Otherwise it'd be like in a regular game, if you score a touchdown, you receive the ball again. That's insane and silly and no one would do that. Yet, for overtime, that's exactly what they're doing.
Because that is how the rules have always been. It was a big improvement to not end the game on field goals because then you only had to move the ball to the 35 to win.

Falcons choke in the Playoffs period. Hell, Georgia teams choke in the playoffs. We just happened to be on a hype train this year to make it this far. I knew a collapse was coming, I was not overhyped for a minute when we were. Up over 20 points,.
The amount of choke here is honestly being underrated. They could have essentially taken a knee and kicked a field goal to seal the game at one point. That sack and holding was fucking moronic.
they choked but it doesn't take away from the fact they were hosed by shitty overtime rules.
The Falcons made the superbowl on the back of their historically great offense.
In the superbowl, the game as tied at the end of regulation. Both teams played equally well over the course of 4 quarters. Both teams should have a fair shot in overtime.
Instead, the unit that carreid the falcons to the superbowl and was historically great did not even get to see the field because they lost the coin toss. Thats pretty shitty
He's being downvoted because the logic doesn't make sense. Sure, Atlanta lost a 28-3 lead, but the same Patriots who made those 25 points allowed it to be 28-3 in the first place. Both teams had the same amount of time to score, and they broke even. To then allow a heavily skewed drive be the decider for the Super Bowl is kind of silly.
Downvotes are for comments that don't add to the discussion. We know the Falcolns choked, but it's 100% irrelevant when we're talking about overtime rules
Bullshit. Yeah they choked, but so did NE for the first half. You're basically saying the second half of the game is more important than the first. And in the end, a damn coin decided who got a serious advantage.
Tell that to the first half patriots. I wanted them to win but the falcons deserved a chance to get the ball. The coin flip had way too much impact on the game.

Agreed. I prefer college style with no time. Hopefully we get that change in the upcoming years. We've progressed from a field goal ends to only a touchdown ends. Baby steps
Not sure if I want college style, it gives an unfair advantage to team with good redzon offenses and redzone defenses, but I think it is definitely way better than NFL

Overtime should still have relatively equal chances for both teams, just because they choked at the end, it doesn't mean they weren't tied with the other team. They blew the lead, but it doesn't mean the OT rules don't need to be changed, they aren't mutually exclusive.

You get to change the NFL overtime or the electoral college, what do you pick?
It seems really obvious to me. Just have the game continue so that each team needs to have an equal number of possessions. If one team is leading while the number of possessions is tied then they win.
This is a bad argument because of salary cap. The player most teams invest the most in by far is the quarterback. For one team to be able to use their's and the other not is not fair.
Additionally, if you have one team that got in the Super Bowl on the back of their top defense and the other that got in from their offense then maybe it is a little more balanced. But when you have two teams that are in the Super Bowl primarily because of their offenses, the team that wins the coin toss is at a sizeable advantage.

Anything that gives a significant advantage to one side based on a coin flip after how many weeks, months, and years of work went into getting your team there...is mad fucked.
I don't care about football but these rules seem dumb! That coin toss gave a huge advantage.
If you don't think it did, then why don't they do a coin toss at the start of each quarter? Why do they even out the possessions after the first coin toss? Think about that.
Because each teams receives the ball at the half? That seems fair? And I'll say it again, if you can't hold a team to a fg when it matters you don't deserve to win.
If the patriots would have lost because of the kne possesion rule, sure. People would have felt the patriots were robbed after that monster of a 4th quarter. However since the pats won, no one outside new york and georgia will care
...Umm, I think you mean no one outside of EVERYWHERE THAT'S NOT NEW ENGLAND. Seriously dude, do you not know how much everyone cannot stand the Patriots? I mean, congrats on a well deserved win, but still.
Rofl. Why are all you dumbasses wanting Atlanta to get the ball expecting they'll score? They had a whole half to do that and didn't.... why would they suddenly do it in an even more high pressure moment.
I actually say the same thing in that exact scenario I guarantee it. Maybe my post doesn't get as highly upvoted, maybe it does. Regardless, I assure you that your comment is false as that is not my intent at all.
I am not stating anything to the contrary. The Falcons choking and NFL OT rules sucking are not mutually exclusive. Yes the Falcons choked big time and yes the NFL OT rules suck.
These guys are professionals. These guys get paid millions and millions of dollars to specifically stop the other team from scoring. That's literally their only job in life.

No one would be saying that had the Falcons scored first in overtime.
Well I'm iffy about the coin-toss and overtime format, but New England had one fo the best second halves I've ever seen and I have to give them props for coming through in the end.
It would be fun to see. Our OC will probably be in San Fran so we'll have a somewhat different offense. That young defense did everything it could though. Inspiring.
Atlanta has made me dead inside. But in still glad I got tomorrow off of work. I knew weeks ago regardless of the outcome I would not be productive lol.
I know I'm a bit late but here's the question I have to ask to all of you guys: Is Brady the Goat? I just want to see what people's consensus is. Here it is: http://www.strawpoll.me/12279971
I'm from the UK and certainly no NFL expert but I ask is this the greatest team in league history? Is Brady the best player in league history? New England reminds me of Sir Alex Ferguson's sides whilst he was the manager for my Red Devil's. The match is never over because the players always believe
Bill Belichick is always mentioned in the people who come up in the greatest coach of all time discussion.
And I believe after this performance Tom is now indisputably the GOAT QB. Player, maybe not. But Quarterback, yes. He's cemented that tonight.
Greatest team is a whole different argument. I would say they are the most successful team ever. 9 superbowl appearances is no laughing matter. And 7 of these were in the last 16 years, AKA Brady/Belichick era.
Yeah I hate to admit it but they are. They've made it to the Superbowl the most times (9) and won it the most (5). Brady is the greatest Quarterback of all time, he holds all the records now and has five rings, more than any other QB ever.
I don't think so. You have to admit the overtime rules are pretty terrible. For the fans, for TV, and even worse for the players.

I think OT rules are as good as they'll get. Regardless of who wins the toss, teams have a pretty consistent 50-50 chance to win. I don't know the exact numbers but it's about as even of a tiebreaker as you can get.
Even if the Falcons won the toss the end result of the game would probably be the same because the patriots were on fire and the Falcons went cold but it's still really dumb that they don't even get a chance at the ball because the lost a coin toss
But at the same time, the Falcons defense got a chance. It's not like the Pats got it and just walked down the field with no one trying to stop them (although they did just walk down the field). I was pulling for the Falcons, but saying they didn't get a chance is absurd. They got a chance, and they blew it.
But both teams are more known for their offense more. Yet we only saw one in OT. I mean yes the Falcons cant blame the OT rules (should have kicked that damn FG) and OT rules are the same for all, but its a cheap way to decide such an important game.
It doesn't matter what both teams are known for. Offense shouldn't be looked at as if it's the more important of the two. Defense is important in any game, especially a Super Bowl, and Atlanta's defense just didn't show up in OT.
That's not what he is saying. He is saying both offense and defense hold equal weight in football and 1 team only got to show 1 while the other couldn't.
If offense and defense hold equal weight in football, then the rules should be sufficient. We saw an offense face off against a defense in overtime. If those two are equal, or at least treated equally in the game, then there is nothing wrong with the rules.
Alright let's rephrase. You need both offense and defense to win in football. So why did one team only show offense and the other only show defense? One can't both teams show both units since both are important?
It's not as if it's not done elsewhere, it is. College football and CFL both use a system where both teams' offense gets a go!

Yes but one team has to do more than the other. Stopping a possession and then having to score is not the same as only having to score.

Clock management. They lost because of that. Throwing when up by 16 with 7 left? Snapping the ball with 15+ seconds on the clock. Every fucking play after the 4th quarter should have been snapped with 1 second on the clock and they should have run the ball a lot. Coaching lost them that game. The defense was spent and demoralized by the end of that game.
THANK YOU! I don't watch a lot of football (as a casual Bills fan, my season is usually over by week 6), so I was wondering if there was some strategy I was missing.
You're up 3-touchdowns at the end of the 3rd quarter, and you're snapping the ball with 20-seconds left on the clock?
Don't get me wrong, Brady is a great quarterback and is one of the best of all time (despite my hate for him). But he didn't deserve to win that game, the Falcons deserved to lose it.

In the past it was sudden death. So a team could won on a field goal. So the idea was to eliminate that.
That's not really the point though. Forget what happened before overtime started - the game shouldn't be over without both offenses having a chance on the field.
But what about teams that have a stronger defense? Surely it's an advantage for them to go on the field, force a 3 and out, then have their offense come on and just get in to field goal range.
Offense is only half of the battle.

I wasn't really trying to make a point. I was asking about the logic behind the current rule itself.
What would be a better alternative? I guess it makes sense for both teams to have a possession, and then keep going until someone can't score a touchdown on their drive?
Why isn't that the rule now? It makes a lot more sense I feel like.

That's why there is a coin toss. It's not "unfair". It comes down to who is the more balanced team. If both teams got a chance to score a touchdown, it would really lessen the role of the defense in overtime.
And they also didn't play half a game. Overtime shouldn't be separate from everything that happened before. Both teams played well enough on both sides of the ball for the game to be tied in the first place. Ending the game with the same score is about the best test for equivalence in talent that there could be in a football game, so both the offense and the defense should both be capable of doing what needs to be done.

How does that make any sense? If that were true why not just have one team play offense all game and the other defense. It completely lessens the role of the other teams defense. There is zero logic behind the OT rules, it should be blow for blow.
Games are 60 minutes. No more, no less. Each team scored 28 points in those 60 minutes. Doesn't matter if they scored them in the first half or the second half. It doesn't change that both scored the same number of points in the same amount of time.
Exactly, everyone in here is defending the shitty rules by saying how Atlanta choked during regulation. That doesn't change the fact that the rules are shitty. Tom Brady won on a fucking coin toss.

Trying to stop a possession and then score is not the same as only having to score. Currently, only one half of the team needs to play to potentially decide the outcome of the game which is not satisfying or fair.
Winning the coin toss is equivalent to getting the ball and having the chance to score. You're staking the entire game on one half of a team vs one half of another team. By scoring, the patriots completely denied two halves of two teams the ability to try and win the game. It should not come down to one offense vs one defence, it should come down to two offenses vs two defences. The coin toss itself isn't unfair, the overtime rules are unfair.
I wont defend the rules. I mean, they worked out for my team this time, so I'm going to enjoy the win and think nothing of the rules after this post (for the rest of the night anyways). This SB outcome will probably get the rules changed though.
And I'm sure as a Ravens fan that if the Falcons won the toss and got the ball and won the game, you'd be quick to say how BS the overtime rule is? Give me a break.
You're analyzing the game as if it were just a list of statistical progress points and completely ignoring the psychology or reality of any of it. It's a total cop out to say Atlanta lost on a coin toss. A team with a lead like that has to control the the game to win and they crumbled.
They had an entire half to perform and couldn't. They had multiple drives to stop and couldn't get it done, including the 2-pt conversions they knew were coming. The OT drive might as well have been against a wet paper bag. They'd lost before the coin was flipped.

Yes the Falcons choked, but that doesn't mean the OT rules aren't bad. Stopping a possession and then having to score is not equal to just having to score.
I didn't say the rules were good. People are acting like the coin toss literally decided the winner and that's cheap and bogus.

It's certainly possible that the Falcons would of won had they won the coin toss and that's the real issue. The coin toss gives one team a MAJOR advantage.
If the Patriots had tied it up around the end of the 3rd and we had a back and forth game for the 4th quarter I'd give you that. As it happened the Falcons weren't exactly trending towards having a game sealing drive even if they'd won the toss.
My entire point is that it's not like the Falcons were denied their only opportunity to win. They had an entire quarter in regulation to do something about it. That includes having the ball in awesome field position and getting pushed back like 20 yards out of game sealing field goal range.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:48:32 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
and the Patriots also didn't win at the end of regulation. It doesn't matter, overtime rules should not give one team a major advantage regardless of how the last quarter was played. The Patriots weren't trending the first half but turned it around, I don't see how the Falcons (or whoever doesn't win the coin toss) should be at such a disadvantage when both teams ended the regulation game in a tie.
Well I mean the Pats gave up 21 unanswered points. They just did it first so people praise them for it.
IT was poor game management by the Falcons in the 4th, but the Pats scored as may points and it does seem like the coin toss is way too important in this case.
Falcons stopped the Patriots for 3 quarters, they didn't in OT. I get the initial feeling is saltiness but let's not pretend that the falcons didn't blow this.
No, they lost by a defense that couldn't finish. Sucks, but it's not UNFAIR, they had a chance. This coming from the fan of a team who lost with no chance to play offense against the Cardinals last year

It's one of the worst rules in any sports ever. I'm a soccer fan and back when the golden goal was a thing good lord was it terrible. First team to score wins, end of story. No chance for the other team to try pin a goal back. That's the end of the game. This coin toss smells or shit golden goal rule as well.
Feels like you guys need a similar end of game penalty system that soccer enjoys at the moment when games go over time in a final or at least give the other team a chance to counter.
Decided by the kickers. Start at the 20 yard line, move back 5 yards after each try, sudden death. Happy?

This. I don't watch football regularly and the OT rules in the NFL are atrocious for a national sport, especially for a championship game. At least in CFB teams take shots at each other from the 20 yd line until one team comes out the winner. But this becomes sudden death with a touchdown and the other team doesn't get a chance to respond? Fucking awful.
I don't agree at all.. pats had 25 unanswered points, it's not like the falcons we're doing anything getting down field at that point and the patriots were.

Your team is made of attack and defense. The coin toss decides who is doing what, but if your defense can't stop the opponents offence, you don't deserve to win.
Never ever watched a Super Bowl in my life before or even any NFL game, so at half time I was like eh what the hell why not it's on TV. Seems like I got to witness the biggest comeback in super bowl history and the first overtime ever.........sorry Falcons probably my fault but I'm just here for the KD memes as an OKC fan.
I still don't get how the fuck you pass on 2nd and 11 at the opponent's 23 yard line with 3:56 left in the 4th quarter and end up getting sacked for a 12 yard loss, then pass on the very next play and get an offensive holding to get you out of field goal range to lose the superbowl? While they were trying to run down the clock to win the game and clearly in field goal range

EDIT: To everyone saying "don't blow the lead", I don't have a dog in this fight; I only watch NFL games once bowl season is over. The way I see it, if two teams played equally for 60 minutes (and they did, because that's what the scoreboard said), then they deserve equal chances to score (especially considering the rule changes continually favoring the offense).

Theres a coin toss at the beginning of the game that decides who gets the ball to start, but you're not complaining about that.
Hey the coin toss at the start of the game decides who kicks off to whom, followed by 30 minutes of football. Then, after halftime, the other team kicks to the team that kicked in the first half, followed by 30 more minutes of football.

Don't blow a 25 point lead. Anyone that says otherwise never put a pair of pads on before
Edit:
Anyone that ever actually put on pads and a helmet and actually uh I dunno PLAYED football will know the truth and the 100% truth and that is the Falcons choked
Wrong. You're up by that many points? You put the game away. The Falcons lost and they deserve it too
Edit:
I actually played defense and put a helmet and pads on. Cornerback. I ran fast and hit hard as fuck. I would have been utterly embarrassed to let the other team come back up 25 points. Any and all statements that think otherwise never played football or sat on the bench. No one that ever played and contributed to a winning team would ever say the Falcons did anything other than choke like losers. If this post receives more downvotes they are actually upvote my correct statements. Ask anyone that ACTUALLY PLAYED defense WITH PADS has any logical reasoning for the Falcons. They won't give you any because they know that was a complete collapse
They didn't deserve anything. They choked in front of everyone and lost. They deserved to lose. If the Falcons had the ball first I cannot see them winning in any way. They defeated themselves. You are wrong.

What if it was the game was within a field goal throughout all 4 quarters and the same shit happened, decided by (mostly) luck. It doesn't matter how big their lead was
So, are you saying the rules are fine still when the game is competitive and was a three point game the entire time?

If the falcons won the toss and drove down for a TD it's the same stupidity, regardless of the other 60 minutes. Then it turns into "a 25-point comeback is negated by a coin toss." One team statistically has a much higher chance of winning solely because of a coin. The rules are dumb and I hope this highlights it enough to reconsider them.
What would be your argument if the Falcons had won the toss and scored a touchdown and Brady on a hot streak wouldnt get a chance to play? Its not the only important factor, but those rules do suck.

The team that blew the 25 point lead could have won with the silly overtime rules though, that's what everyone is trying to get at, each way it's silly.
If the Falcons won, people would be saying "don't go down by 25 points" and it would still be bullshit. Imagine this was a neck-and-neck game with multiple lead changes and one team's offense never got to take the field in overtime. Great win by the Pats, but the overtime system still sucks.
What if it was only a 3 point lead? The OT rules are still dumb, and we've benefited from them plenty in postseason. Adopt something like CFB from the 40 IMO.
For real. 3-28 in the third quarter, this loss is not because of the OT rules
Mawx ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 03:42:37 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
3-28 at the end of 3 quarters or 0-0, the game ended tied so therefore the previous 60 minutes were irrelevant. The OT rules are flawed when the league mvp doesn't get to touch the ball in the most crucial moment on the biggest stage.
The OT rules are flawed when the league mvp doesn't get to touch the ball in the most crucial moment on the biggest stage.
So it would be ok if he wasn't mvp? What relevance is that.
And he did get to touch it. He touched it a lot actually. And when they had a chance to put the game away they blew it.
Mawx ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:39:27 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The relevance is that the most important player in the league doesn't get a chance to touch the ball when it matters most on the biggest stage. How is that not a flawed system?
the fact that he is MVP should be fucking irrelevant.
they had a 25 point lead with like 20 minutes left. Blaming it on OT rules does 2 things:
1) it's an attempt to absolve or lessen the blame the falcons should get. They blew it. Unequivocally blew it. But, having said that..
2) it's an attempt to discredit the greatest SB comeback ever, and one of the greatest SB performances ever.
If the game was close and then decided solely on the coin toss, I'd understand. But it wasn't, all the falcons had to do was not allow 31 unanswered. That's it! If they score points anywhere in those points, they win.
Well football is a two way sport why shouldn't the AtL Offense get a chance against the Pats Defense? Because of a coin toss? No other sports pulls this bs shit.
I'm just saying people are acting like cause the patriots won the toss then they would automatically win which just isn't true. Atlanta had the chance to them and they couldn't.

You are right it isn't true but it gives them a distinct an frankly unfair advantage.
I mean, it isn't like 75 yard TD drives just happen automatically, Brady just made it look easy, if they weren't gonna stop him on that drive they honestly deserve to lose
Giving both teams a shot gives an unfair advantage as well to the second team since they know what they need to get... there's not really a great way to do it.
Hockey is sudden death and it makes sense. NFL rules were changed to make TDs the only Sudden death score. If you cant stop them, you deserve to lose.
Sovos ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 06:13:30 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Hockey starts with a face-off at center ice. Basketball starts with a tip-off. There's not really an equivalent neutral start to football.
I don't think anyone is arguing against the sudden death aspect, just that there is not a way to make sure both teams have an equal opportunity to score first in sudden death OT.
I've seen 4OT games in COLLEGE football. Heck, there was a 7OT game once (Arkansas/Ole Miss). Are you telling me that NFL teams can't hold out longer than college football teams?
In soccer the teams go all out during over time. If it's still tied then they have a shoot out. Why doesn't college football overtime rules apply for the NFL?
I agree that the NFL should go to CFB type OT rules (not exactly the same), but soccer teams don't always go all out in extra time. It's obvious that many teams play for the penalty shootout.
Yes but if one team scores they don't say "Oh, we need to give the other team a chance to score"

Do you know how a shootout works? Because apparently you don't. Each team gets 5 chances back and forth, whoever has the most wins. If they're tied at that point they each get another chance until someone converts and the other does not.

There's definitely other sports with sudden death to end them (hockey, some soccer, summer league basketball), and while a coin toss isn't used, who gets to go on offense is still decided in an arbitrary manner (better player at face off, taller player), which you could argue is less fair than giving both sides a 50/50 chance at first chance to score.
That said sudden death is lame.

Eh, you draft/trade for players that will have an advantage in a face off or tip off, you can't do anything to account for a coin toss.
I think mentally Atlanta was mentally gone on both ends after that combat, and it might not have mattered anyway. But, from a purely objective point of view, football doesn't have a way to decide initial possession based on skill.

There is no logic behind that though.. The team that gets possession first still has a way higher chance of winning. It's not like the defense automatically wins if they get a stop.
It seems unfair that in order for their offense to get a chance to score, Atlanta's defense had to stop the Patriots, while in order for the Patriots offense to get a chance to score, they simply had to win a coin toss.
To your edit, seriously. I've never seen a fan base that loves gloating so much, Should see some of the PMs I got after the AFC Championship. Pats fans are the worst in all of sports.

Pats fan, I agree the overtime rules should be changed and it's something I've been telling people for the past year. It still doesn't take away the fact that we came back from a 25 point deficit with zero points on the board by your offense and you weren't even so much as slowing us down in OT.

Come down to a coin flip? You guys could haven essentially taken a knee to seal the game at one point. How do you get mad at a coin flip with that type of moronic play calling?
It wasn't decided by a coin flip. The Falcons had three defensive chances to stop the Patriots and they didn't do it on any of then. If the pats were held to a field goal or a 4th down attempt on either of the first two most likely this sub would be celebrating the loss of the evil empire. The last one if they could have held the pats to anything other than a touchdown Matty Ice would have had his shot in OT. The Falcons mismanaged this game in the last quarter and lost because of it. Pure and simple. The game went to the team who finished the game the strongest. Just like any other game with a 4th quarter come from behind win.
Because every single drive ends in a TD right? Except for every Atlanta drive in the 4th quarter lmao.

To say it was 'decided' by a coin flip is inaccurate. It was decided by many things that led to that coin flip, mainly the Falcons playing like ass for the entire 4th quarter. Im sorry man, its rough but we earned that shit, and if you won in overtime on the first drive i highly doubt youd be saying the Pats deserved a chance.
Overtime rules for a Superbowl are different that regular overtime in NFL, since this game can not end in a tie. It's not perfect, and I certainly don't like the sudden death nature of it.

Devilvs advocate bc I think NFL overtime is stupid too, but I think there's way more potential for NFL games to go on for WAY too long once it's been determined the team's are evenly matched in regulation
Gotta remember, before they changed the rules it was immediate sudden death overtime and just a FG would end the game. That really favored teams winning the coin toss.
There is an element of risk going down the field to attempt getting a TD instead kicking a FG and hoping the other team does worse on their possession. The defense could have intercepted and returned any of those passes, someone could have fumbled, someone could have fumbled into the endzone. It's definitely an improvement over the old system. In OT it's not about the 25 point lead that was blown in regulation. It's all about not giving up 7 for the first possession and not giving up any scores in subsequent possessions to determine the winner.

Try and extricate yourself from the situation, although I know that's tough as a fan. Before the coin was flipped for OT, you know there's a very good chance that either the league MVP or the greatest QB of all time isn't even going to see the field in OT. That's patently unfair, if not to the players then most certainly to the fans.
EDIT: As a casual fan, I know I would have been just as pissed if Brady engineered an unanswered 25 point comeback and the Patriots lost because he rode the pine for OT.

I totally agree overtime rules are stupid, and the college system is better. Even better IMO would be a college system where each team has to return a kickoff to start their drive.
However, I am I surprised that the over times rules are what stood you to you this game.

That goes both ways, right? Since they ended the game tied, either team had an equal opportunity to get that one extra stop... why shouldn't they have that same equal opportunity in OT?
As a Pats fan I know all the "Brady is the Goat, best comeback of all time, best Super Bowl of all time" has been said and confirmed.
But calling the Falcons chokers is a joke. That offense played as well as it had all year and the defense shut down Brady for 3 1/2 quarters: That's worthy of respect and if you don't think it is you're kidding yourselves because the Falcons were the best in the NFC and played a great game.
Pats fans talk a lot of shit but I for one don't have anything bad to say about Atlanta. Great team.
Don't know who downvoted you...because you're right. I wanted a Falcons win, but I respect the heck out of Brady and the Patriots for battling to the end and making it a good game. It was pretty cool to watch history be made.

Absolutely right. Their defense was just so worn down by the end of the game. Time of possession wins games.

No team has ever given up a pick six and won the Super Bowl until tonight.
No team has ever been down more than 10 and won the Super Bowl. New England was down 21-0 and then 28-3.
No Super Bowl had ever gone to over time.
This was the greatest coach of all time, with the greatest quarterback of all time, in the greatest super bowl of all time.
And for all of the Brady haters who thinks he's a cry baby, the only tears he shed tonight were of joy. He took so many hits and persevered.
the patriots didn't do anything until the end. does that mean they didn't deserve it? it doesn't matter what happens throughout the game, both teams fucked up at some point. the other team definitely should have a chance to answer to a td scored in overtime

Every team deserves a chance to win in overtime. Not just one team. Pats blew chunks in first half and Ravens in second half Change the rules.
I mean they also put up a 25 point lead in the first place. They were dominant the first half, and the Pats were better in the second half. Then it was decided by a coin toss.

I don't want to argue for the OT rules, because they are dumb, but it was decided by a coin toss and a touchdown drive. It's not fair, but it was more fair than straight up 50-50.
That's true. It wasn't literally decided by a coin toss, but in a Super Bowl with two excellent offenses it seems unfair to make one Defense play for the whole game without giving the Offejse a chance.
OldJimmy ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:48:00 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If you look at it like hockey overtime it makes sense. Sudden death. A team gains possession at the start, the defending team is trying to take possession. Defense doesn't stop the offense from getting withing goal range, offense scores. Game over.
Yes overtime rules are the sole cause of blowing a 3-1, er 28-3 lead

Too bad that's not the game of football, you play until the end. The falcons laid down in the second half and the patriots capitalized and won it. You can't just play the first half of the game.
Maybe they shouldn't have let the Patriots score yet another touchdown.

And the reason that letting the pats score another td meant that their offense didn't get the ball is... the overtime rules. Like i'm not trying to say that the pats didn't deserve to win. Just that the ot rules are sorta dumb.
It's not the point. There have already been games that have been epically good only to end because one team got possession first. The overtime rules are still terribly flawed

When will the pendulum of good fortune swing in Brady's favor?
Even by Belichick and Brady's standards that was something else. Their composure and mental fortitude is unmatched. However shame on you Pats fans who quit on your team at 28-3 down.
I don't know what was better: the chorus of booes that lasted the entire duration of Roger Goodell holding the microphone, or the entire New England Patriots team deciding to say, "kiss that muthafucka," on live tv.
No matter what anyone says about the refs calling, Atlanta was up by 25 points and they couldn't close the deal.

So true. My friend kept waving his phone in my face with memes about how Lady Gag covered more of the field than the Pats defense. I pushed his phone away and told him to meme it up after the game when they might be relevant.
Tom Brady is the greatest. People can hate him (I did for a long time), but he's just the greatest ever. No denying it. He's so good, he makes shit seem rigged lol.

They must have sacrificed a bunch of virgin babies or something. That Edelman catch was probably the luckiest play I have ever seen in my 15 or so years of watching football. But, Atlanta clearly deserved to lose that. That was one of the worst games I have ever seen a team play in the second half. Mistakes were made all over the field.

Sucks, but you've got to turn around and play the ball. That play gets called 100 out of 100 times.

You sure about that? Seems to me that PI and defensive holding are the most inconsistently called penalties I've ever seen in any sport. It's a fucking coin flip. I'm pretty sure I saw exactly the same kind of contact a couple of times earlier in the game by both teams and there was no flag.
That specific play, where a defender has his back to the ball and is running into the offensive receiver, gets called like clockwork. It's textbook PI. But yes, I agree that other PI calls can be coin flips most of the time.

[deleted] ยท -37 points ยท Posted at 03:48:41 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think they botched that call honestly, Edelman went down, dropped the ball while his knee was down, then grabbed it again after being down on the field.
If the ball never touches the ground and the receiver never goes out of bounds then the play never ends.
nitram9 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 04:15:04 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
When they say that they're talking about a sideline catch. If you catch it inbounds but you lose control of it on your way out then gain control again and can't get your feet in bounds again then it's not a catch. In the field of play though it's totally different. If you lose control then gain it again it's like you're just starting the "process" of the catch over again. As long as the ball doesn't hit the ground you're good.

Nah, you could be laying on the ground and catch the ball.
So do I, but I also wish I'd wake up to Scarlett Johansson sitting on my face every morning. You can only ask for so much out of the greatest Super Bowl in history.
What's wrong about that call? The defender doesn't even look for the ball. He's playing the body the whole way and keeps Bennett from catching it. That's textbook.
Patriots proving that 2017 really.. Really isn't going to be any better than 2016. Definitely on track for worst.

As a Panthers fan in Portland, OR I was the only one in the room that was cheering for the Pats. I still hate NE for beating us in our first SB appearance, but that's nothing compared to how much I hate Matty Ice. Congrats Brady and crew!
Sudden death overtime sucks but it's the first SB to have it. I think maybe the rules will eventually change for SB OT. Nonetheless, that's quite the lead to squander.

Just got off the phone with my wife and I was telling her how good I feel today. A Falcons Super Bowl loss is, for me, ALMOST as sweet as a Panthers Super Bowl win. I have a little extra pep in my step, the sun is shining a little brighter, and the work day doesn't seem as long. Ahhhhhh. Feels good, man.
I'm a visitor to your sub. I know very little about football. I'm very much a "social Super Bowl football watcher." But serious question:
Has an athlete ever dug deeper than Tom Brady did just now? I feel like at the end of the game he should've just blacked out from the mental exhaustion. His focus during the 4th quarter was just otherworldly, you could see it in his eyesโhe was on a completely different plane than everyone else in that stadium. I've never seen anything like that. It transcended football. Again, I know next to nothing about football but I know that that performance is the kind of thing that earns people the title of GOAT.
Oh in terms of cities, yeah. I thought you meant teams.

Great performance by the NFL MVP...
This is why you need more than yards and touchdowns to evaluate talent in the NFL.
Also the offensive play calling turned to shit in the second half. What the hell was Kyle Shanahan even doing there? All those passing plays with that huge lead and those running backs??
Props to the Pats and all for pulling it off, but that was the worst choke job I think I've ever seen.

I'm just here to check out this sweet flair. Well, I'll say something useful. Amazing comeback. 28-3 I had resigned to losing to the Falcons. I just hoped the Patriots didn't get blown out, and then history happened. Best of luck next year, Falcons, and thanks for a great game.
As a redskins fan, I just want to say that this is kyle shananan's MO. He's amazing at designing schemes and gameplans, and is a very creative playcaller.
But for a man who is just amazing at building a run game, he abandons the run in crucial moments, in moments where it just makes no sense at all, with baffling frequency.
Our team sucked when kyle was there. He made our offense significantly better than the talent actually was. I give him all the credit in the world for that.
But he cost us games getting cute and trying to throw and make big plays in moments where we just needed a safe call. And it happened tonight. Up by 8, on your opponents' 22 yard line? And that series of playcalls? New england had to make the plays. The absurdly necessary and clutch great plays. But Kyle stuck it out there for them, the opportunity.
It's what he does and I think it will cost him throughout his career. Possibly a bit of an omen for the 49ers.

You need teams and people to dominate the game for a while to create legends.

The Atlanta Falcons unironically broke the NFL regular season record with 13 wins, went 30-0 in the first half against the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs, gained a 28-3 lead on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, and then lost the lead and did not win the championship. Matt Ryan unironically won unanimous MVP, back to back MVPs, and exclaimed "We not goin' home!" during a game, before being blocked by LeBrady a record 7 times in one series and indeed going home. Julio Jones unironically said in a post game interview after going up 28-3 that football "is a man's game" and LeTom Brady "got his feelings hurt", LeMVP proceeded to average 36pts/12ast/10reb and won the next 3 games and the championship.
These things all actually happened, the thoughts of this reality stay with me at all times. I go to sleep at night looking up at the stars, wondering what celestial being aligned the universe in such a way to make an event as amazing as this occur. I wake up smiling every morning knowing that the Falcons genuinely went 13-5 and choked a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl. That even if time is a nonlinear fourth dimension, going to back to stop it from happening will simply create another universe where it happens again. That the state of ass-blastedness emanating from the city of Atlanta is eternal and infinite, it crosses countless dimensions of the multiverse and its unending torment knows no bounds. I gaze into the endless cosmic wonders around me, still in disbelief that it actually happened, but knowing that my purpose in life was to be born just in time to see LeGod get one for da land.
The best part about all of this was reading the comments in the game thread. One idiot in particular said something like "Brady has officially lost a step" and it had a couple upvotes. It had a reply that just said "3-5 years lol".
Every Patriot fan in the 3-5 more year thread said his arm strength looked great and his deep ball was the best it's ever been.
This game proved that they were delusional on that.

Patriots fan down voting you I guess. The first one he missed, the recover did get bumped right as Brady was throwing it, and another one would have been a tough catch but it went right through Hogan's hands
He also led a comeback from the largest Super Bowl deficit while throwing for 466 yards and 2 TD. If you think he has lost a step, then I don't think anything I say could convince you otherwise.
Okay, perspective time. He missed a ton of throws and was mediocre til the fourth, then the biggest play of the tying drive was an awful throw into triple coverage. Then he almost throws a pick from the 1 yard line.

But Edelman actually made that catch and the refs made the right call. That was a dumb challenge by the Falcons. Their guys upstairs should have seen it was a clean catch. Plus they wasted their final timeout which could've been useful later. Don't be salty.

Seriously. I don't think anyone in league works harder than him, and it shows in moments like this.
Damn what a rollercoaster ride. I can't imagine being a die hard ATL fan and going on this ride. The game was a snoozer for people who didn't have a dog in the fight and for those "casual" fans. People who enjoy watching football every week knew there was a chance.
But damn was that a small chance.
The falcons fucked up one of the largest leads in Super Bowl history it felt like.
No doubt in my mind that the Patriots are the gold standard in the NFL and are right there with the San Antonio Spurs as the greatest franchise in the last 2 decades.
I wasn't rooting for a specific team. I wanted to see Brady get ring #5 to be just the second player in history to do it and the first to do it all with one team, but I wanted to see the Falcons win just because it was a different team and Matty Ice had an incredible year. But at the end of it all that was just a crazy game and what a comeback. Unbelievable.

I think what we saw was the consequence of Atlanta's high octane team. They expend as much energy as possible to get a huge lead and ride it out to the end. Even the Saints almost mounted a nice comeback against this team. As long as they keep this kind of pace their weakness is always going to be the end of the game when they run out of steam.
I had to work during the game, but figured "eh, I don't feel too strongly about either team, I'll get over it"
Only checked the score twice at work, saw it was 7-0 and then 21-3 Falcons, and judging by what people were saying on Facebook figured I wasn't missing much.
Then as I was walking in to pick up a pizza after work I checked facebook and saw the final and now I'm pissed that I missed the game.

Goddammit I hate Belichech(?sp), but he's is the best coach in sports. He sees potential in bad players (Edelman, Brady) and turns them into superstars. If those two were on any other team they would be nothing special, probably out of the league by now. Congrats to them, and without any cheating this year!

Edelman and Brady are the least of the players that BB has used his dark power on to create something special.
Focusing on Edelman (and more specifically his college career), without BB he had no business in the NFL. Have you heard the old adage that says the absolute best high school players go on to play on D1 college teams? Kent is not one of those programs. I know kids who weren't in the top 5 at their schools get offers from Kent, his career is all BB seeing something in a nobody player, and making them great
Not that twitter can be relied on to be rational, but people are going absolutely nuts about the Patriots winning because some awful people support them.
I mean, they're just a football team, they don't stand for anything, they're not a political statement.
Terry Bradshaw said a few moments ago that this was the greatest superbowl ever played. I have to adamantly agree with him. I'm not a fan of either team, I hail from Dallas so you know where I stand, yea I like the Giants. But, holy shit... That was a great game.
Wow. Beat Super Bowl of all time. Anybody who says Brady is not the greatest player to ever step on a field is either in denial or a Peyton Manning fan.
It's like every time there's a super exciting end to a patriots super bowl and you think it couldn't possibly get more ridiculous, Brady and bill are like "challenge accepted"
As a Broncos fan, this sucks. As a Michigan fan, I am proud to call Brady the G.O.A.T. Weird times.

But special props to Edelman. That guy deserves the SB MVP. He fucking CARRIED that entire game with his insane catches and clutch timing. Dude is a MONSTER.
Matt Ryan will be known as a choker the rest of his career lol. Just run the ball in field goal range don't take chances against the Patriots. So fucking dumb enjoy your legacy
Eh I think you guys have a really good chance to see the superbowl again within the next 3 years. Matty Ice isn't going anywhere, neither is Quinn and neither is Julio. You just need more defense. Or, really, just better conditioning. Because they clearly had Brady's number early on and apparently just ran out of gas in the 4th q.
nothing to be ashamed of. you guys are one hell of a team. there is talent fuckin everywhere, along with julio jones who you cant even use the word talent to describe. that dude is a fucking magician. a god damn monster.
I can't believe this. I turned the game off when it was 28-9. Took a nap and woke up to this thread on the front page. Thought it was a joke.
Where can I find the torrent?

Amazing. 2 GOATS. Best comeback in NFL history. Speechless. We are the champs
DON'T LET THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A TEAM HAS EVER WON IN OVER TIME IN A SUPER BOWL AFTER A 21+ POINT DEFICIT DISTRACT YOU FROM THE FACT THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PUNT RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN IN NFL HISTORY
Hey, ATL fans, if you need someone to help you manage the PTSD you're going to feel after this game, there's a support group for GB/SEA NFC title game survivors that meets in the Atrium of Lambeau on Saturday mornings.
Holy crap, people across the pond listen to Bill Burr, too?! Damn, I guess the humor and attitudes of New England aren't all that different from that of Olde Englande!

I know people are saying this is the greatest choke job of all time and it may be because it was the superbowl.
From a pure game by game perspective the Seahawks vs. Packers NFC championship game 2 years ago is still the worst case of a team giving away a game on a silver platter I have ever seen.
I think this may genuinely be the happiest I've been for a Patriots win in a LONG TIME. The beginning of that game was terrible, to say the least. I was giving up hope... But then I kept thinking to myself "Tom Brady THRIVES in adversity." His whole STORY is about how good he is at overcoming adversity, and it shows with this Super Bowl. I 100% think under no hesitation that Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Period. I'm the happiest 19 year old in the world right now.

Like that time your Georgia bulldogs preseason game had more viewers than the Hawks vs celts playoff game. Bunch of fake ass fans. That's why you lost
I grew up hating the Lakers, hating the Yankees, and thus hating the Patriots. I hated teams that were perennial powerhouses. I was born in 90, and grew up always seeing these teams win, or constantly being in the finals/championships. I have no reason to hate them, but I always found myself cheering for the other team. I had no reason to, but I cheered for the Diamondbacks. I had no reason to, but I cheered for the Pistons. Was happy when Peyton finally beat Brady. The Patriots especially stuck. In 07, I was ecstatic to see them lose. I couldn't give a fuck about the Giants, but my 16 year old self was marking out to see the Pats lose.
But these last two Super Bowls changed me. After getting bounced by Seattle and having to watch them face "the fucking Patriots, as I thought at the time" I was torn. By the end, I was alright with New England winning. It was a hell of a game, and seeing that emotion out of Brady sort of hit with me. Ultimately, I thought it was my recent hatred for Seattle that lead me to it.
But tonight, I found myself almost genuinely cheering for them. All things set aside, I had a playoffs fantasy football draft where I had Brady and White. So I went in thinking, well if the Pats win it'll hopefully be because they had good games. (Ha, holy shit they won me the league so thank god they did) But I just found myself cheering for what I thought was the good game. I thought, well New England clawing back is at least making a game of it. But ultimately I realized, I was enjoying myself watching the best fucking quarterback will him and his team out of that deficit to a win. I was watching the game with my old man and we were joking how, of course New England will make a game of it. And then slowly, it switched to, holy shit, they are winning this game.
For me, it was the Edelman catch. You know which one. Before that, I thought Julio wrapped up the Super Bowl. Signed sealed and delivered. It was his moment for Super Bowl glory if Atlanta could just cash in on the field goal. But then... sack, penalty and low and behold, Brady has the ball again. When the play to Edelman happened and the ref ran in and signaled a catch, and we actually saw the replay, both my dad and I immediately said it was their Tyree moment. I was almost sure they were going to come back. Brady started making some throws that were gutsy as hell. We both talked about one to Hogan along the left sideline. It was just a simple hook that he barely got to before the defender. From the camera angle behind Brady, it looked like a 50/50 ball almost, but he trusted/knew his receiver could get it.
I'll never be a Pats fan. I'll always bleed green and gold, and depending on the opponent, I'll maybe cheer for the other team. But god damnit, after seeing Brady and them celebrate winning and witnessing this legendary comeback, I'll never hate/cheer against Tom Brady like I used to. I used to hate him for winning, but now I can appreciate that I am witnessing greatness. Whether it's at the QB position or at the team level will always be debated, but we're witnessing it. I was rooting for Atlanta and I ended up watching the whole post game, sort of smiling because I just watched something amazing. And I'll sort of always appreciate the Patriots and Brady for that.
I think we did witness one of History's greatest games. I hate to say it, but Brady REALLY is the fucking Greatest, and Darth Hoodie is an evil mastermind. Am I the only one convinced Belicheck did this just to gas Atlanta up?

You may not be wrong, but if so, I doubt he was okay with being down 21-3. BB has been known to give the offense things and [possibly] be okay with being down a score early if it's fitting to the overall game plan. NE under BB have been good for a long time coming out in the 2nd half. I'm sure rope-a-dope works in football as any other sport.

I agree. I can definitely see if the game plan was let Atlanta feel they can run and ignore Julio (with the coverage on him) but those turn overs let it get out of hand to the tune of 25 down.
This was my first season watching football and this was my first Superbowl game. HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT! What a game! I couldn't believe my eyes. Whether when the Patriots equalised with 57 seconds to go or with some of the crazy plays that happened today. I always thought football to be a bit boring but I will be damned if today's game wasn't super entertaining. Brady is magnificent. What a game.
No, no they weren't. This is just falcons choking and allowing a sub-par team with a good QB win.

I dno I mean I think winning the coin toss can bite you in the ass and of course it can be good if you can score a TD. Fail to score or turnover the other team just needs a field goal. Pat's just rode the momentum on an amazing comeback. I like that it's not college rules.
I hate the coin toss in overtime. They should just change overtime to a shortened version of a quarter. Congrats to the Africa Superbowl champs, the Atlanta Falcons.

The guy is a fucking legend. What does it take to bring him down. How many qb pressures, hits, sacks. Guy is a fucking soldier stands in the pocket takes the hit gets back up to repeat. 30 years from now ill be telling my grandkids and they wont realize how much of a legend Brady is. No one is going to come close to repeating this much success maybe ever.
As soon as the Patriots made that ridiculous catch on their final drive of regulation, I knew it was over and stopped watching. Just checked the score after the game and sad to be proven right.

I admit, I was hopeless at half time - and not even that mad, the Falcons fielded an incredible team.
But to see that last-quarter-comeback, largest alltime, GOD DAMNIT! That was fucking huge!
Best coach all time, arguably best QB, most awesome Dinasty!
I don't usually use the word hate very often, but I think I hate the Falcons now. They are in a very elite group of teams I will never root for ever again.
I've been watching football for about 40 years and I can't believe what I just saw. The Falcons threw straight rights to the Pats' chins all first half and some potent shots (via JJ's ridiculous catches) in the second half. That was an amazing comeback on multiple levels.

Wish we still had him, he knows his shit and I will not be surprised at all if we see his Falcons back next time.
If there's anyone that could pull that come back off, it's honestly Tom Brady. Been a fan a long time, and past super bowl losses to the Giants have been a pain as a pats fan. A good game deserved for the Pats.

All Atlanta had to do was run the ball twice when they were at about the NE 22 and kick a FG to go up by 11 to seal the deal.

What I've learned this year: If you are up in any championship game, you are going to lose
This is the Patriots' MO: other team gets a lot of points, gets complacent...Patriots catch them off guard with the comeback and win. Other team doesn't know what hit 'em. Classic Brady.
The badger will roll over on its back and emit a smell of death, which confuses the dogs and lures them in for the traditional ripping and tearing action. But it is usually the badger who does the ripping and tearing. It is a beast that fights best on its back: rolling under the throat of the enemy and seizing it by the head with all four claws.
Man. Broncos fan here. I'll preface by saying I don't particularly like the Pats, Brady or BB. But damn if I don't have the utmost respect for TB12. There's no doubt in my mind he's the GOAT, and Bill is the best coach as well. Hard pill to swallow, but huge props.

Fans wouldn't have it any other way. Bob Kraft literally saved the franchise and built it into what it is. He's as big a part of the team as Brady or Belichick.
Historic. Greatest sports game i've ever witnessed. True fucking greatness. Amazing. What are the odds, I happened to be alive in the same time frame as Tom Brady. GOD BLESS
I'm so happy for them! I can't imagine how emotional it is for them. I'm sitting here trying to not cry out of sheer happiness. They came back from such a deficit and they beat a team that was trying really hard to win. Atlanta gave them a run for their money and if the game played out like the first half, they deserved it. But the Pats came back and played seriously like they wanted to win. It came down to the wire and they won and I cannot believe it and I love them.
Amendola has balled the fuck out in last 2 super bowl runs. So many clutch players but I thought I'd mention him cuz it stuck out to me. Barely 200 yards in the regular season this year and in 2014 and then basically almost matches that in postseason production. Fuck yeah.
So the Pats won their last 2 Super Bowls mainly because the team they were playing elected to pass instead of run in pretty obvious running situations. The Jedi mind tricks are real.

Falcons were up 28-3. 28+3=31. The Warriors blew a 3:1 lead in the finals
If we have learned anything from past Super Bowls folks, it's that when you have the ball needing 1 yard, YOU RUN THE BALL. YOU NEVER EVER PASS THE FUCKING BALL FOR 1 YARD!!!!!
Can we get a stat on the percentage of times that a teams win probability on ESPN is over 99% and the team loses? I feel like every time I've seen it go over 99% that team loses.
Its not about scoring. Its about keeping the ball out of The Greatest Player who has ever played the game who happens to also be the most historically clutch player of all-time. Atlanta almost hurt themselves by being so efficient. I know how dumb that sounds.
I checked his Wikipedia and saw net worth of 3.3 billion. I think they'll be okay.

This will be the example of why you step on the opposing teams throat when you have the opportunity. You cannot slack off on defense and you cannot let up on offense. It will cost you the game.
I respect you guys. I don't even watch sports but today I had to watch it with my family thus decided to choose a team to go for..which was the Falcons. I've never felt like more of a pile of salt in my life. I know you're all way more passionate about your teams and the sport than I'll ever be so my question is: How are you all still in good health?

So props to Patriots fans for history in multiple ways tonight, and maybe next year Dirty Birds, you guys just let off the gas and your defense was out there too long.
As unlikely as the combat was, I'm surprised that essentially no one I know even toyed with the idea that they could come back. I didn't care what the score was. You never count Brady out.

Easy you say? You think it's easy to stop elite level offenses from scoring? Easy?
Nobody is saying the Falcons didn't fuck up, the point is though that the 2 teams were tied at the end of regulation. OT is supposed to be a fair extension of the game, but clearly the coin flip sways the odds be a huge margin.
Saying "if you didn't want to get fucked by bad OT rules then don't tie in regulation" could be used to justify drawing straws as the OT Rules for who wins.
ues the Falcons collapsed, bit they still ended regulation in a tie and the OT should be fair to both teams; not have a coin toss change the odds so drastically
So had Beasley caught that ball in the end zone in OT and Atlanta wound up with possession, it would have been totally cool if they scored on that drive and the Patriots got a second chance to score so it would be fair?
yes! Both teams get 1 possession each until they end with a score differential. If ATL and the Pats both score a TD, then both teams should get a 2nd set of possessions until one team scores more

Absolutely idiotic argument. The teams were equal through the first 60 minutes, so they should get equal chances in overtime. How they got to overtime shouldnt matter.
The pats deserved to win but the OT rules are still fucked.
Hurrrrr Durrrrr don't blow a 25 point lead. Who's the team what went down 25 fucking points? This does nothing to change the fact that NFL overtime rules are stupid.
Not that I don't think the Pats would have won anyway, but the current rules give a clear advantage to whoever wins the toss. When it comes down to it, they're given a touchdown "chance" that then denies the other team the same opportunity.
I watch college ball too, and those rules are clearly superior (though it'd be better if the ball started on the 50). Each team gets a chance, and then rules are set in place by the 3rd overtime preventing a night-long event.

The pats deserve this win- they just played better than Atlanta, and yeah, blowing a lead that big means you deserve to lose- that doesn't change the fact that the NFL OT rules are stupid af- not having a chance if the other team scores a TD first is idiotic, regardless of the road the winner traveled to score that last TD

So that the games can fit into a functional time slot on network television.
Probably because football requires each team to switch possession so overtime in itself is stupid. It only works with games like basketball and soccer where each team can score at any moment.
They should really make it like volleyball where you have to win by two scores while switching possession. The problem with American football is it's super hard to score when not in possession.

So salty. Wouldn't be hearing any of this if the Falcons won.

People are acting like a TD is a sure thing
Absolutely nobody is acting like this. Just because a TD isn't guaranteed doesn't mean the team doesn't deserve a chance.
I'd way rather have a walkoff TD then some shitty 4th down multiple lateral play
Good for you buddy. Would you sing the same tune if the Falcons won the toss and ended up winning?

I already know what comments I made during the game. You don't need to remind me. I dislike the Patriots and I dislike the Falcons, and I was shitposting because the Patriots were getting handled. Would have done the same if the reverse was true.
Give me a single reason why there should be rules that give the winner of a coin toss should have a massive advantage an overtime. Just one.
Would you be singing the same tune if the team you clearly hate had lost instead?
The team I dislike did lose lmao there was going to be no happiness in any team winning for me. I had no team i was rooting for.
And considering I've always hated the rules and hate them even when it benefits a team I like, yeah I would have to say I'd be singing the same tune.

Sure man, its not great because of that. What a load of crap, any objective fan can realize they just witnessed greatness by Brady, and an absolutely great game. You're BSing if you say it wasnt great.
Whether the OT rules need changing is up for debate but not whether it was a great game or not.

No it's not. They'll play all 30 minutes of extra time even if someone scores.
You don't understand. The rules have already been changed. It used to be that you only had to get a field goal and still win in OT. But now you have to get the touchdown. If Atlanta's defense had stopped them, everyone would have been singing a different tune, but they didn't.
This was also the first time it's gone to OT in Superbowl history. In 50 of them. That's saying something.

But only half the team needs to play in order to win. One team's defense needs to stop the other team's offense and then their offense needs to score a touchdown whereas the other team only needs to score a touchdown if they win the coin toss. I don't see the issue with college OT rules where each team gets at least 1 possession and the team with the higher score after that wins.
Patriots defense was at an advantage; they stepped it up, were still fresh. Falcons defense was tired from getting shredded in the entire 4th quarter. The outcome would've been the same either way. If they had played another 15 minutes the Patriots would have won by 20.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:29:12 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And if the Falcons had won the coin toss and got a touchdown?
Then you wouldn't be whining. The rules are the same for everyone, don't forget. Teams have taken offense first on the coin toss and lost.
Also, the way momentum was going, Pats D would have stopped the Falcons and Falcons D would have continued getting lit up.

Teams have taken offense first on the coin toss and lost
Just because some teams don't score a touchdown after winning the coin toss doesn't somehow negate the fact that they had a MAJOR advantage over the other team.
Also, the way momentum was going, Pats D would have stopped the Falcons and Falcons D would have continued getting lit up.
and the Falcons looked like they were unstoppable the first two quarters. Tides change and I don't see how this supports keeping poor overtime rules.
And I'm sure as a Broncos fan you would have come on this thread and said the same thing if the Falcons won the toss and the game and Brady never got a chance to touch the field?

Yes? Why is it so fucking hard for some people to accept that some of us find it pretty fucking ridiculous that scenarios exist where a team doesn't get an equal chance in OT? That some of us find it bullshit that a great game can be ended on a coinflip, robbing us the chance to see more of a great game? Every single time it's "you're just salty because your team lost" is it really that hard to understand why some people have a problem with the idiotic OT rules?
I had no stake in this game, and I don't like either teams. Didn't give a shit who won. NFL OT rules are terrible.
Had Beasley intercepted and Atlanta went on to score from the resulting possession, would you argue that the Pats should have had another possession to make it fair?
DLBork ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:15:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Are you purposefully being dense? Both teams would have had one possession. The Patriots turned the ball over on their possession. The Falcons scored on theirs. That's fairness. Please explain how this relates to what I've said at all.
I just wanted to check because quite a few folks are saying that the other team should have a chance to answer the points scored, play the full 15 and whoever is up more wins, etc. So yes, I was purposely making my question ridiculous to see where you actually stood on it which is shootout style, essentially.
I agree that the OT rule is stupid as it is today and I am hoping that this game combined with Goodells hatred for the Pats actually does some good for the game.
Edit: Clarity
DLBork ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:24:29 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah I just find it ridiculous that both teams can't get a possession. I don't understand how there are some people who sit and try to justify it or deflect it by saying "maybe they shouldn't have gave up those points". It's just ridiculous and really makes no sense why they're sticking with the rules.
They don't gotta go shootout style like CFB, just give the other team a chance, damn.
I don't mean from the 35 like CFB. If the second team scores as well, it ends up like a shootout until one team fails to score.
The downside is that it could end up like a baseball game.

I got what you meant I just don't it's necessary to go that way, didn't mean to imply the 35 yard part. I just wanna see both teams get chances to have the ball.
I have children so watching the first half was a struggle in itself. But seeing Atlanta up at halftime by that margin, I gave up the tv to them and thought it was in the bag for the falcons. Then i get on reddit and my fucking mind is blown. I hate tom brady but there really isnt no denying he is a legend and the best of all time....but i still will argue for arguments sake that it is joe montana
Yeah, I hate him a lot and that was just ridiculous. It's a pretty silly argument to say he's not the best QB in league history. I'd put Johnny Unitas up there too, for what he did as a QB in an era where it was not a passing game, but that's splitting hairs.
Oh you won so we should stop hating you with a fiery passion? No, that's not how it works. Enjoy your victory but know that it only makes us hate you more.

It works over, and over, and over.

You can all feel free to get pissed about the overtime rules. There's lots of problems with it, there's no denying that. Just don't discredit the incredible comeback that just happened. That was the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Love the Patriots or not, you can't argue Brady & Belichick are living legends. You can try and bitch and moan about them being cheaters (fairly or unfairly), but this is domination in one of the toughest professional leagues.
I'm not too much of a football fan, but of course I put it on in the background today! I thought it was over for sure when the Falcons were up 21-0 or something like that, and I went to do other things. Came back and it was tied 28-28! Glued to my screen for the last moments, that was crazy.
Also that halftime show was kinda funny at the end, where'd Lady Gaga go?

I didn't even have to watch the overtime coin toss. No fucking shit Patriots were going to win that, get the ball and score a touchdown, and if that wasn't evident from the point they were down 8 with an impossible task in front of them, then nothing is. After watching that game, I'm almost glad we lost our Chargers. How the fuck can anyone compete in a league with this combination of crazy skill and crazy luck?
Yes, the Falcons blew a 25 point lead, but the Patriots let them get that lead as well. The thing is, the game was tied after 4 quarters and the fact that one team gains a huge undeniable advantage from a coin toss in a game like this is pretty stupid.

That was such an Atlanta way to lose that Super Bowl. They didn't want to win it, and played the second half not to lose... the prevent defense - it only prevents you from winning...
I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that likes the OT rules. I like the fact that there is still an element of sudden death. A championship defense should be able to hold a team to at least a FG. Those who say it is decided by a coin flip are wrong. It's much closer to 50/50 now that you need a TD. I still can't believe that comeback. This super bowl sure lived up to all of the championship games this year
For real though, the falcons did absolutely everything possible to lose in the last few minutes. Terrible play calling, wasting a timeout on a bad challenge, just terrible display of finishing up a game that you had won. Wow
Overtime rules in the NFL may be stupid, but don't let this distract you from the fact that the MLS Cup Championship game was decided by a penalty kick shootout...
You should be salty. TFC should have won it in regular time. The Sounders were charmed that cold night. Rather improbable win, and truthfully I expected Altidore to win it for TFC. Let's hope both teams meet again in the MLS cup.
Soccer overtime should be played like Hockey in playoffs. Let them play until someone scores. Football, both teams should have equal chances. (Like College Rules)

I'm pinning this game on the running back that missed that block that led to the Ryan sack/fumble. He literally watched the defender run by him. That play completely flipped the momentum. It then became inevitable 'happy to be here' collapse.
Also stuffing the Falcons running game in the 2nd half was key. They ran the ball so well in the first half.

Super Ironic. A poor viewership year for the NFL ends with a game like that...but the league still didn't even hit 50 million viewers (down from last two years)
That's the beauty of football. The offense and defense are so balanced that either team has an equal chance. I know in the 4th quarter defenses are more tired than the offense, but in general it is much more balanced than say a soccer shootout.

With this win, Brady is the GOAT. The only annoying thing about that is that Pats fans won't ever shut up about it. I understand that 2+2=4, that's a fact, but hearing it 100 times is still annoying.
Idgaf about the patriot haters, Brady is the GOAT. And Belichick. Just unbelievable. It seems as though whenever Goodell tries to screw the patriots, it only unleashes them to another level. LOL!
I still don't understand the logic and I doubt I ever do. When they lined up to pass on 3rd and 1 I said it was a bad idea and it turned out to he an even bigger disaster than I expected. Falcons deserved the loss after that.
As an English Man Utd fan, I never thought I'd see a sporting event come close to the drama of our added time champions league win in 1999. This, this was as good, if not better. I'm so glad I stayed up all night to watch this game and even more glad I took tomorrow / today off work!
It's maybe the 8th Super Bowl I've watched over the last 12 years and I try to watch regular season games as much as possible - but this, this makes me want to watch every game I can next season. Wow.

I had already typed out the "congrats Falcons" message by the end of the 3rd....and then the Patriots came from behind and restored my faith in humanity.
Absolutely one of the best games I've ever watched, and definitely a game full of NFL history.
So sad to see how piss poor the Patriots defense was up until OT. Brady had no pocket and couldn't connect ANY passes. Once OT hit and the defense stepped up, look at the difference in his completions.
That was me too. Even wore a damn red shirt. But I hate blowouts so I switched sides and rooted for the dark side, and then couldn't believe it when they pulled it off. What a rollercoaster of a game. Incredible.
Fuck no. This was the biggest comeback in SB history to a team that already won 4 against a team that have won 0, it included the most ridiculous catch of the 2016 season, and the falcons were this close to a game winning FG before being pushed out of range. On top of that they basically list due to a coin toss.

We let Jones down, this http://streamable.com/1s3sv was supposed to be the winner. On NE'S 22 YARD LINE. Come on... easy field goal, ices this game. how the fuck did they manage to go from the 22 yard line to out of field goal range. That takes a special kind of dysfunction. 3 runs, field goal. Honestly I'd even just have taken 3 fking knees to drain the clock and score the FG. Patriots can't get 11 points in one possession (there would have been around 2 minutes left), it would have ended the game for sure. Even after our grand fuck up, I would have still kicked the 55 yard field goal, had a good chance to score, and if we missed it, Brady would've still scored on us anyways, at least we would've had more time to try to score before game ended. Horrible clock management, horrible. Snapping with 15 seconds left on each play. I'd be super pissed off if I was Julio
The biggest thing that hurt Atlanta was the fact that their defense couldn't get off the field. They got no pressure at all at the end of that game and Brady with 5 seconds is going to destroy any secondary.

They got gassed. They played an amazing game up front but were on the field for way too long. Downside of the offense's efficiency, and it ended up costing the game.
Every other time I've seen it brought up the main post is never as highly upvoted and the post that is about "well you shouldn't have given up ____" isn't nearly as upvoted. The complaints have been there, the amount of exposure is unlike any i can remember.
Perhaps the amount of exposure is at the highest because it is stemming from the most watched game of the year? This is the first Superbowl to ever go into OT after all
By exposure I mean the relative amount of upvotes. Yeah, these ones have 600 or so upvotes replying to 6k main comment, but normally it feels like a 100 main to 5 point reply ratio.
I just doubt if I looked 4 years into somebody complaining about the OT rules history that I'd see another post that was them complaining unless it was their own team losing.
I'm on record saying that the current OT rules are fair --we've had 5 ties since the rule change. Defense is a part of the game. Scoring a touchdown is less likely than people's kneejerk reactions are. I understand the complaint, I wouldn't mind seeing the postseason rules changed, but people are scapegoating the rules really hard here.
Oh god, can you imagine the White House reception?
'The lying, fake news media at one point gave Atlanta a 96 percent chance of winning at half time. Just goes to show, you can't trust the media. ' Bill Belichek and Tom Brady continue to grin and nod.
Steve Bannon and Sean Spicer fellate Don under the podium.
Now don't get me wrong here, this was one of the greatest Super Bowls ever. One of my personal favourites.
But am I the only person thinking that this just exposed the NFL's flawed overtime system? I mean, the coin flip was just as valuable to the Patriots as Tom Brady was.
Wouldn't that game have been even better if the Falcons had a chance to score? Maybe trade points for a bit?

I haven't liked the way it is setup, but I think if it was reversed in the Falcons favor and Patriots fans complained about it they generally would be told to stfu and stop whining.
That being said, I would rather it be a full regular quarter where both teams can score multiple times.
Sadly, you're probably right. I had no horses in this race, I just wanted a good game. I definitely got what I wanted, but at the same time I feel like I got cheated out of something even greater
Honestly feel like we burned Goodell way harder than anybody even thought possible (including himself). See you in Foxborough for the season opener commisioner!

NFL overtime rules are fucking stupid. It's like if a baseball game went to extra innings and ended if the away team hit a home run. Why is there a difference in the method that the first team with the ball scores? Other team should still get the chance.
How is it bareable that your AR12 could not accomplish what TB12 did? That the Pats came up in the end like so many times before besting the foe that dominantly wrecked your team? That's like saying it's bareable to get crushed by the second-best team who then choked to the best team. Doesn't that just emphasizes your being third and inferior to even the second-best?

nope, they won't. that's what everyone said about Carolina last year and many teams before that. atlanta will go back to being irrelevant for another decade.
I'm a Pat's fan, but I have to agree with the sentiment that this isn't just a one off for Atlanta. It's a young team and they are phenomenal. How many sacks and drop backs did they put on Brady? They really beat him up. I have nothing but respect fitter those guys and I hope to see a rematch next year!!!

Regardless of outcome, can we just take a minute to go over how stupid the OT rules are? A coin flip gave the Pats the chance to win it and all Matt Ryan can do is sit there
If that MVP scored more than 7 points after half there'd be no OT discussion occurring. The word your looking for is CHOKED. Your MVP showed up for a half. Our 4 time SB MVP had one of the grestest come backs in SB history

uh huh. And why is it that this only comes up when the Pats win?
If Atlanta wanted to win they should've stopped the pats from scoring a TD. If they can't do that they don't deserve to win anyway. it's part of the fucking game.
Why did it come up? Because it's the biggest fucking game of the year where the stakes are at the highest.
I'm not taking anything away from the Pats - they played a heck of a game and came back to win it fair and square. But, in general, the basis of who gets the initiative in OT being based on a fucking coin flip is stupid. Both teams should get possession at least once.
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the game tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck did they lose? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Ryan to be Super Bowl MVP and fix this Patriot domninated league. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought they were up by 3 scores???? This is so fucked.

Everyone stepped up in the second half. To hold the Falcons to just 7 points in the second half is great. We finally made plays in the fourth and OT that we didn't make in the first 3 quarters.
The universe will remember two things about the entire existence of that little race of beings that called themselves humans that once existed in a small blue planet.
The first will be when mankind tamed fire
and the second when the falcons had a huge lead and fucking choked at the superbowl
.....damn. The Evil Empire of Emperor Beli and Darth Tom continues to hold the league and world by the balls. Chancellor Goodell last seen sobbing in office.
JR Hildebrand hit the wall on the last corner of the indy 500, the Oklahoma city thunder blew a 3-1 lead, the golden state warriors blew a 3-1 lead, the cleveland indians blew a 3-1 lead, and now the atlanta falcons, have blown a 28-3 lead. The circle is now complete.
Atlanta completely blew it. The play call on third & 1 that resulted in the fumble, the play call just outside the 20 that resulted in a sack that put them out of field goal range.
This has been the first Super Bowl I've watched (from the UK) and I am super glad that I did. From what I can tell, it has been really historic for many reasons and what a match to be remembered. I always back the underdog, so having heard of the Patriots and Brady I backed the Falcons. However, that comeback in the final quarter was perhaps the best comeback I've ever watched and the Patriots fully deserved to win.
FUCKING RUN THE GODDAMN BALL SO RYAN DOESN'T FUMBLE ON 3RD AND 1 AND JUST RUN IT TWICE MORE WHEN YOU'RE ON THE 20 TO KICK THE CLINCHING FUCKING FG SO YOU'RE QB DOESN'T GET SACKED FOR A LOSS OF 15 JUST PLAY THE CARDS YOU FUCKING HAVE
Because the commissioner often makes decisions that the fans view as greedy or not for the good of the game. In particular many consider him to be unfairly tough on the Patriots and Tom Brady in particular. As the stadium had a lot of Pats fans, they booed the commissioner.
The commissioner gets booed a lot in North American sports. The baseball comissioner often got booed about labour unrest and the hockey comissioner is deeply loathed by their fanbase aswell.

Cannot believe what I've just witnessed. What a game! It's 4:10 AM in Iceland and there were hundreds, possibly thousands, of people on twitter (#NFLรsland) showing their wings/food early on and then discussing the madness that unfolded before our very eyes.

They were gassed af. Thats what happens wen ur D is out there all day.
A first down there kills another good portion of the clock. Devonta Freeman had MVP in the bag. Three more runs, a couple timeouts used and the 2 minute warning and you give them very little time to score, get a two point conversion and a field goal. Just unbelievable they were passing in that situation, they needed to make it a 2 possession game, not score a touchdown necessarily,
Goodell the guy on the left is the NFL commissioner. He kept Brady out of the first 4 games of the season. Pats fans consider it to be completely unreasonable. He has been ducking Pat's games for 2 years now.

Obviously the way many mediocre teams evaluate talent is flawed.
Vsuede ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:18:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not really. For one it starts with Brady's contract, and how the Patriots spend money. Where every other team is trying to plug in rookies, the Patriots are able to pay 28-29 year old veterans $2.5 million a year to do those jobs, because they do things like not signing Revis to a big contract.
Take for example their RB's - all four cost the Patriots about $4 million in cap space. That is less than the Cowboys are paying Elliot on his first deal.
It really isn't scheme from what you traditionally mean when you say that. The Patriots are the best at tailoring their system to the players on the roster.
They are also very well coached. Look what Scar did with an O-Line that was a massive weak point last year. They are second to none at developing talent. That is why they can take a QB from Kent State and turn him into one of the best receivers in the league, or take a Rugby player from Ohio State and turn him into a machine on special teams.
Look at the possessions stats. The defense was on the field for almost the whole damn game. That was the Pats plan. To grind them down.

The missed xp had zero affect on the outcome. We made the first 2 point conversion which gave us that point back. We needed the second one because we settled for 2 FGs earlier
So does this mean we aren't the meme team for losing anymore? I mean we threw an interception on the one yard line, but at least we didn't blow a 25 point lead.
I, like many other football fans, love to hate the Pats. I was rooting against them, and was happy when they were down by 25. But jesus christ, that second half effort was some of the most amazing football ever. I didn't even physically watch the game either. I listened to it on the radio in my car on the way back to my house. I don't like the Patriots, but damn do I respect Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
I've tried to put this in context to all my mates here in England.
It's like being 4-1 down in the 80th minute in the Champions League final and winning 5-4 in injury time.
It's just unheard of.
I'm watching the whole game again right now and I still have no idea how they did it. It's an astounding result given the first 40min of the game.

Overtime in the nfl shouldn't be sudden death at any time. Each team should get an equal number of possessions in overtime. If at the end of a set of possessions 1 team is winning, they win. No sudden death TD or FG on 3rd possession. Equal possessions

I'll say it again, the NFL needs a different overtime. The biggest game of the year, and it's decided by half of the players on the field. The best player in the NFL didn't even touch the ball. Because of a coin toss. How is that fair?

"Decided by half the players on the field" yes, because defensive players don't fucking count. You're using every excuse in your arsenal to discount what just happened. Fucking get over it
He's saying half the players on the field meaning one Hal of the falcons or patriots, so that patriots defense didn't have to deal with the falcons s offense.

Oh the best player in the NFL most certainly decided the game.
Or did you not see his 90 yard drive to tie it up and then the next one to win it?

Would you say the same thing if it was the other way around? I don't like either team, just wish both of them had a shot at it. Don't see how it's fair that one offense and one defense decide the world champion. Regulation shouldn't bear any impact on overtime, they were tied
Not really, the Falcons played 3 quarters of amazing football, then blew the game completely by failing to run the football and kick a field goal. (Also, 3rd and 2, you decide to throw it and get strip-sacked? There's two terrible decisions.) Terrible coaching at the end by them. That cost them this game.
mcal24 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:41:26 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you wouldn't have said the same thing if it was back and forth? Point is, a coin toss gave an advantage to one team. Why should regulation matter at all when they ended up with the same points?
Thats an argument for another day. No point in whinging about what has been in the rulebooks for forever when it doesnt go your way. There are probably better ways to go about it but that was the set of rules handed down equally to both teams and one came out on top of the other.
It sucks for sure, but would you be complaining if the outcome was different?

It's easy to second guess after the fact. It's happened to Belichick a few times in his career - similar situations. I didn't see any press conferences, but I imagine the coaches thinking is he wants to put the ball in Matt Ryan's hands in that situation. You have one of the best QB's in football, who has been playing lights out all night. You trust him to make the throw, or throw it away and not take a massive sack.
By the way - it was the holding penalty in conjunction with the sack that moved them out of range - the sack alone they still might have kicked it.
Don't let this executive order to put all Muslims in concentration camps distract you from the fact that the Falcons blew a 25 point lead in the Super Bowl

Tom Brady now joins Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan to win five national championships. If Tom wins one more, he'll be the new Michael Jordan of greats. There are some articles now saying that he's the greatest player in modern sports, over Michael Jordan.
I think its hard to argue that Tom isn't the greatest sportsman in modern history, even without a 6th. He's the most dominant master of not only his position, but the game in the history of all sports.

Super salt. Patriots beat the best of the AFC, Falcons beat the best of the NFC. Patriots grind out one of the best comebacks of any sport of all time, finish with a 19-2 record (one loss that Brady wasn't even in for), and somehow that's luck. Maybe, just maybe, Brady and the Pats are good.
Congrats to the Pats for being the dynasty that made me stop watching football
It's been fun, I've been a fan since I was 4. But I've realized I care too much about this, and really it's just all supposed to be fun games. So congrats, go sportsball!
Everyone is so salty about the overtime rules. The overtime rules are fine. Atlanta didn't lose because the overtime rules. They lost because they blew every chance they had to seal the game away in the second half. I wanted Atlanta to win, but it was their fault they lost.
Lol how the fuck is anyone even upset about the overtime rules.

Enough with putting Brady in same group as everyone else.
The discussion is over. It's settled Brady is the GOAT. Him and Belichick are the best QB/HC duo ever. Better than Walsh/Montana, Noll/Bradshaw, Landry/Staubach... and whoever else you can think of. It's fucking Belichick/Brady at number 1.
No question. Done-deal.
GOAT.
Edit: Lombardi/Starr might be the GOAT duo.

Everyone complaining about the overtime rules - don't forget that the defense is part of the team as well. The Patriots won the toss but both teams got to play in OT.
I'm ecstatic, but I can only imagine what you're feeling right now. I genuinely feel bad for your fan base. You guys are a very passionate group. It was a great game.
I still can't believe that happened. You know, I thought we were going to lose, but I kept watching because I love my team. I was completely fine losing when we were down 28-3 because we were getting outplayed. You guys have a ton of really great players and a fantastic organization.
I know what a big loss feels like. I will never get over 2007. There was a miracle catch in that game too, and although we never had a big lead, we were undefeated and on the precipice of something that had never been done. I wish there was something I could say to help, but the truth is that the pain never really goes away. Ill tell you what though, with the young team you guys have, chances are you'll be back at some point or another. The feeling of winning after a few crushing defeats is worth it.

Boy I'm glad I'm not an actual Falcons fan. I'd be fucking pissed. How do you not just run it three times and kick a field goal after that Jones catch?
A tale of two halves-what a game and that was absolutely incredible. I'm a pats fan and I am just numb right now.
Atlanta defensively played absolutely perfect. Grady Jarrett and Freeney are the patriots o line up. Was surprised to see so little of Lewis. They didn't rotate any players out and were absolutely gassed.
Brady played pretty poorly the first half but was a machine that second half,he was better than 49. I have never seen anyone play that well.
Blount played piss poor today.
That fumble on NE territory is a bad bad call. You have the ball on 3rd and 1 and you throw it?
In all, I'm sorry Atlanta didn't win. It really seemed like this was their year. As a Pats fan it's hard to believe I know that feel, but I do (18-1). Like I wish I could see that old man dance in his fly suit.
All that said... holy fuck what a game and I'll see you at the parade on Tuesday.

Run, run, chip shot field goal to go up 11 with 3 mins. Run game solid all night.
Pass ending in penalty, pass ending is sack to get out of field goal range.
Paid millions of dollars and chose option 2. I literally cannot wrap my head around this. Great comeback for sure but game should have been sealed.
Also fuck overtime rules...such bs that other team can't rebuttal. Ridiculous since ATL could just as easily have marched down and scores a TD.
Still can't believe what I watched.... one of the greatest performances in SB history by the Pats, cementing Tom's legacy as the GOAT imho (and BB'S too!!)
I still can't believe what fucking happened. I'm still in shock. What an amazing comeback, and what an amazing Super Bowl. Thank god we can stop with the "Is Brady better than Manning or Montana?" threads. I'm gonna cherish this win forever. I, like many other Patriots fans, pretty much accepted a loss once it was 28-3. I knew there was a chance..but I honestly had no idea that Brady would lead the comeback for the greatest Super Bowl in history.
Just like all year, Brady was far and ahead the better quarterback in every single measure possible, statistical and situational.
Glad that the world got to see what a true MVP caliber performance was tonight
To clarify: Ryan played exceptionally well, ascending beyond just great play. It was clinical and sharp, with little to no errors and only perfectly well placed bullets. But in no world did his performance even scratch at the echelon of performance put out by Brady tonight. Ryan is historically above average, and played great this year. Not anywhere close to MVP worthy. Seeing him struggle to come up with a play in the no huddle during the final 40seconds of regulation to get into field goal range.. Aaron Rodgers could've done it in 7 seconds

Just ask one question- why? Why would it be rigged? Everybody hates the pats, including Goodell. And unless he's an oscar level actor, trying to desperately convince everyone, I don't think it's rigged.
well hopefully this game goes to show that you can never count anyone out. Also maybe the overtime rules get changed so coin toss doesn't decide the game?
I personally think that starting at the 50 is too easy for NFL and would most likely yield a field goal on most possessions. I think 1 kickoff per team would be sufficient, really I just want both sides having a shot of scoring and not relying on a coin toss to get an advantage

No, I've seen my team lose a lot of playoff games in an overtime game dictated by a coin toss.
Not to sound biased, but I believed the Pats would win and also that last J. White TD hit the Hat Trick for me. Pats win and I'm up $1,000, can life get any better? NO, the answer is no.
Yes, the falcons blew what should Gabe been an insurmountable lead. But officiating was shit on the hold call that put the Falcons out of field goal range. Sinu brought down by a facemask and no offset flag thrown? That's the real game changer.
Don't really care who won, but I reaffirmed that football is a joke by the way they conduct overtime. Only one sides offense gets to play and decide the match? LOL. Coin toss decideds the game.
Just like President Daddy predicted. so much winning.

Gonna interview for a job with the Texans next year to start a trend. There should be a position in football where someone just stands next to the head coach. Before the coach gives the green light on a playcall, he asks "hey what do you think about passing in this situation?"........ blank stare "don't get fucking cute out here, Kyle"
Damn. This was the first Superbowl I have not watched since I was like 7. I didn't think It would be that exciting. Turns out it is arguably the best super bowl ever. Talk about unlucky.

Here to be a part of history but holy shit that game was incredible... I thought I'd seen miracles happen at 49 but this was stupid, Brady really is the goat
The falcons only lost because r/nfl removed my post titled "FALCONS DEFENSE TAKE MY ENERGY เผผ ใค โ_โ เผฝใคเผผ ใค โ_โ เผฝใคเผผ ใค โ_โ เผฝใค" that i posted when ot started. So falcons fans.

Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback ever. Period. You can't deny it. What the man has done in this game, to come back from a 25 point defect, is nothing short of insanity. He's the best. That's it, there's no argument. He's MJ for QB's. Fucking hell, what a player and what a game.
I'm not even a big NFL fan but it seems crazy to me we're witnessing the GOAT QB right now. Who would've thought that scrawny late round draft pick would go on to lead the greatest comeback in Superbowl history.

Those overtime rules are the worst. Every other sport both teams get a fair shot. NFL rules put the winner up to chance. You lose the toss, you probably lose the game.
Atlanta's defense didn't show up at all for the second half, and their offense didn't show up at all for the fourth quarter.
The worst thing is the amount of personal credit Brady will get for this. The Patriots didn't win because of Brady. The Patriots won because they are the best coached team in the league. Even something as simple as wasting time outs: If Atlanta hadn't wasted all three second half time-outs, the offense might have got in a position to win with a FG at the end.
i think both teams should get the ball at least once. a coin flip should not be a big factor. If the game was a shootout between two amazing offenses, then the other offense should also be able to get the ball

Absolutely Remarkable. That was the best super bowl I have ever seen. This solidifies Tom Brady as the best QB of all time and I don't know how an argument can be made against it.
The flag at the end there pisses me off. Its the end of the game in sudden death and aside from not turning there was very little contact. If you're not gonna throw the blatant flags on the previous play just let them fucking play on that one too.
This game is an omen to all the Atlanta families who conceived tonight. Your Super Bowl baby will have two first names and be a prodigy only to suffer a midlife crisis they never recover from.
as a first time watcher, the overtime rule seems really unfair, maybe i am not getting something, did the falcons had to get a touchdown with an intercept or surviving 15 the minutes?

On another note, how has the NFL not realized that this overtime system is actually one of the worst in sports? Giving one team's offense the chance to score but not the other is actually fucking ridiculous.

It's not even about that mind blowing comeback. Falcons could have won the game with a FG but MR gets sacked to make it a 53 yd and then we get holding on Jake Matthews.

Matt Ryan threw the game away by not throwing the ball away.
I didn't even see the tying drive or overtime because FOX looked like a strobe light. I realized it was over and the Patriots had won at that point anyway.
I would rather have no even went than have this happen. 49ers can take KS and all of his assistants. Our offense did jack shit and lost us the game. I have never seen a team play so scared in my life. Worse than the 2013 super bowl.

I started watching the game near the end of the 3rd quarter. Shocked by the meager 3 pts by the Patriots, I thought to myself, "This game will go down as one of Brady's worst postseason performances of all time."
As if there was any question who was the greatest of all time. Brady silenced that discussion when he single-handedly broke the passing yards record to overcome a dead running game and historic deficit.
22 guys run around a field for 60 minutes, trying to put the ball in one end zone while keeping it out of the other. And in the end, the Patriots always win.
Dude fuck this team. I'm done. What a way to fucking lose. Only the Falcons could lose like that. I expect us to fade into mediocrity now. Fuck Atlanta teams. All I've ever done is watch this team blow big games or lose every year. This was the cherry on top. I'll stick with college ball.
I won $2300 but I feel like I just rob someone. Those last 5 mins were incredible. Brady the greatest of all time. I watched it with my 6 year old and I am so happy I did, this moment will never be forgotten. GG Patriots and Falcons, this is what football is all about.

I got downvoted because I called the game for Patriots at the beginning of the fourth quarter. I'm a falcons fan but objectively watching it was exactly like bama vs clemson in the 4th... Defense literally noodle armed and gassed, against an amazing offense, sorry but 3 scores ahead isn't enough for that

Sorry, Falcons fans, I did this.
A few years back, I watched my 1st Superbowl (and football match), joining late in the 4th quarter to see Seattle snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against the Patriots.
This is the 2nd football match I ever watch. I didn't even know it was on, I saw it on reddit and looked for a stream. Once again I joined in the 4th quarter with like 9 minutes left, and the Patriots scored 2 touchdowns to take it to OT.
Based on science, it seems like whenever I watch a Superbowl, the Patriots win against insurmountable odds within minutes.

Just when you think Atlanta turned a corner and shook off their choke artist ways. They bring you all the way into the 4th quarter of the last game and then just utterly crumble. Brutal.
nevermind the fact that for some reason, Atlanta kept snapping the ball with like 22 left on the playclock when they were up 28-3. Should have been running and bleeding clock. They clearly thought it would be a cakewalk and felt they didnt need to even worry.

Man alive the NFL overtime system has got to be the stupidest in professional sports. How about in hockey we only let one team shoot - if they score, they win. How about in basketball we just flip a coin and let one team make a free throw. If they make it, they win. Or in baseball they could just let one team bat, and if they score a run, they win. College football switched to a better system years ago.
Falcons defense played really aggressive up tempo defense, and it worked until they ran out of energy. You can only hit and run and full speed for so long. Then the patriots got lucky with that fumble and the Edelman catch. What a game.

Man, sports have been getting pretty good. The last World Series was probably the best one I've seen and now this Super Bowl is probably the best one I've seen.
I just want to say that at around the third quarter during this game, my sister was watching this game at a restaurant and some mofo shot his gun because apparently, "his team was losing."

Okay, not totally related but I wanted some input. Someone argued that the Falcons giving up a penalty to give the Patriots a first down was better than forcing a 4th down because "they (Pats) lost yards on the penalty" (They gained more yards on the play, but were short).
I have no clue whether a coach would actually look at it this way or not, but this was during the drive where Atlanta gave up countless 3rd down penalties before picking off Brady.

That was in the third quarter.
Now that it's over, and I imagine his confidence is has been completely shattered, it all makes perfect sense.

[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:12:03 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah. The way I saw it was that was killed them was the four man rush and the limited front from cover 3. You saw Brady just was not getting the same type of pressure. Also, not to mention the flood routes opened up from cover 3 gifted like half the passes.
When I was a kid I use to see bumper stickers that read, "Go Braves! And take the Falcons with you!" That went away when the Bravse got good in the 90's but after tonight I wonder how soon we will see these again.

When they tied I just texted my girlfriend and said can I borrow your bleach I need to drink it all real quick, hell of a game though. As a neutral game was truly a super bowl.
I feel like if the Falcons don't challenge that catch by Julian Edelman then you have a timeout left and probably still end up with the ball. Then you have a better chance.
Can we talk about that terrible call to throw the ball when in field goal range? If they kick that field goal to go up 2 possessions late in the fourth, I don't think the Patriots would have come back.
Yup, terrible play calling played a pivotal role in their loss, just like we saw from the Seahawks a few years back when they didn't hand it off to Marshawn Lynch from the 7 yard line.
Fair enough. Us 40 something Giants fans wake up and thank god for Scott Norwood every morning.

I don't think they really blew it. They didn't do anything awful in the last quarter that caused them to lose besides being extremely exhausted. And patriots just came back and went ham on them.

James White did not get the MVP nod and it's a travesty!!! That dude did more than Brady. The only thing I walked away angry about. That guy was 100% the glue that kept that offense alive multiple times.
Brady throw for over 400 yards, had a 95 QB Rating, and led the team to basically 2 back to back nearly perfect drives resulting in TDs/2 pt conversions that sealed the win.

There were also a lot of drops in the first half. The pick six was bad, but at that point things were going south, none of the receivers were really making plays, and he was trying to force it in while Atlanta inexplicably broke their coverage.

I had it equal between the 2 so having Brady get it wasn't that bad. The touchdowns he had rushing were from Tom Brady getting it to the 2 yard line. Both guys were pivotal in what just happened and it wouldn't have happened without either of them, but I wouldn't consider it a robbery even though I personally would've given it to white. Especially when you factor in he was the third option to start the game... insanity.

My buddies made a bet when the pats where down by 21. The bet was 3:1 odds in favour of the Falcons. It made us all stop and think which we valued more, seeing our one outspoken Packers fan lose 75 bucks or not having to watch the pats win. It made the game more interesting seeing the room cheer for both sides rather than just one but now that the games over I'd have rather see the Falcons win one. It still felt good seeing the astonishment on his face when they lost though.

I'm not even that salty that the Pats won, but OT rules need to be fucking changed. That game featured two of the best offenses in modern football, the game was decided by a coin toss.
Don't get me wrong this hurts incredibly bad and I am very sad, but my preseason prediction for the Falcons was that they would go 9-7 and lose in the first round of the playoffs. I'm still gonna be a Falcons fan and watch every game this year, Man it hurts though....

True but it's TB12 and Atlanta's defense isn't exactly elite. You know he's gonna put up points eventually, it was a matter of Ryan playing smart with the football and not giving away cheap plays.

He was railroaded for something every quarterback in the league was doing, and it was done incredibly unprofessionally with little to no real evidence.
Suspension was bullshit though, this commissioner is a joke

Its a well known fact that after Brady's suspension was tossed out by Judge Berman for lack of evidence, the reason it kept going after that was because it stopped being about air in a football and it started being about article 46 in the CBA which says Goodell can do whatever he wants for whatever reason.
The NFL couldn't prove TB did anything so they went with the "well I can still do whatever I want because you gave me that power" route and suspended him anyways.

Man, Americas culture of bandwagoning successful teams and openly changing 'support' of teams is something I will never quite wrap my head around.
So the NE Patriots are the beneficiaries of a bull-shit pass interference call at the end, and the MVP of the league doesn't get a chance to match in Overtime because of unbelievably stupid rules.
You blow a 25 point lead but the play that moved the pats from the 20 to the 2 was what "cost you the game"? The call was correct and you lost the game well before that.

I mean, remember, it could be anybody. But yeah, we didn't have any huge tricks, just capitalized off some mistakes and pulled out the clutch. I don't think we cheated
Just we all just acknowledge how terrible the NFL overtime rules are? The NFL MVP never even got a chance to touch the ball or respond. The entire NFL season came down to a coin flip. It's asinine.
So because his defense couldn't make stop in the fourth he doesn't deserve a chance to answer. That makes no sense.

Its sudden death man. Its OVERtime. The rules are such because the game is supposed to be over. Pats earned the fuck outta that win, everyone knows the rules, defense has to get a stop and they couldnt.
And im not simply biased, Pats lost a game in similar fashion against the Jets last year but the defense was to blame for not getting the stop, as it was tonight. That being said, I wouldnt mind if the league took a look at it, if its possible theres a better way, but I dont like people implying the ending of the game wasnt fair or something, thats how overtime has always worked.
Nothing against that comeback though that was incredible. But that OT was crap so many uncalled penalties including the holding on the last play. Disappointing end to what was otherwise an amazing game

Still think it's hilarious they were getting all of the right calls, Falcons having almost three holds in a row, then that hold on the pats DE, but then they miss the obvious facemask on the same play when ATL had momentum. ATL shit the bed, but it would have been crystal clear without that missed call
All of them were. But they missed the facemask against the pats at one of the most crucial points in the game that would have offset a hold, or even gone for the Falcons. It was good except for that

The WR also had the defensive backs face mask. I don't remember the players now, but they both had each other's face masks on that play
That's not related to what I'm saying. I'm just disappointed that they reffed so well up until the critical moment where the Falcons had gotten their first momentum started up in the second half, but were stopped by a hold, yet on the same play the pats committed a facemask. It would have extended their drive and they most likely would have gone up 35-11. But regardless, the pats played well and there are only what ifs about

The pain the Falcons fans feel right now is something those plastic fans will never ever get to experience, and they'll never feel the elation of winning or understand the true pain of loss, they'll simply join in like the kid who doesn't quite understand the joke but laughs to feel included. Falcons fans should take solace in the fact you have a team you care dearly for.

He didn't lose the ball anyway. Plus the falcons player likely touched him the same time he went for the ball, making the Pats player instantly down by contact.

That was the greatest game I have ever witnessed, on the grandest stage. Wow
Over the past 15 years I have seen impossible comebacks before. I've seen 24-0 against the Broncos and down 14 twice against the ravens. But I've never seen anything like this. I saw it with my own eyes and I still can't believe it happened.
Congrats Pats. I like your team unlike most other football fans and your team never gave up. Deserved victory
I have to say tho not running it when we were in FG range was worse playcalling then the pass call at the one yard line from the seahawks. God fucking damn it.
Hate on the overtime rules all you want. Atlanta choked on a 28-3 lead and should have won. I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of this as a Panthers fan.

Depends on your definition. Deflategate is the biggest stain on him and even then, a lot of teams were doing what he was supposedly doing.
The NFL rules allowing the Falcons to blow a 28-3 lead are appalling. Hopefully the NFL will do something about it next season so that the Pats won't win #6.

That game was strikingly similar to the Alabama-Clemson CFP game. Alabama/Atlanta's defense held strong in the first half but you just can't ask them to play 95+ plays and contain a dynamic offense.
But this was the biggest collapse in NFL history. Yes there have been bigger deficits but this was the friggin Super Bowl.
My heart go's out to Falcons fans. As a Bronco fan, XLVIII was painful and pathetic but we got our asses handed to us by a better team. The Falcons shat the bed like no bed has ever been shat and I can't imagine how painful it must be.
To everyone complaining about the coin flip. There are three phases to the game you could have stopped them or limited them to a field goal. You could have tried an onside kick.

Can anyone explain why OT is played the way it is? Why don't they play an entire extra quarter until time runs out as opposed to sudden death? Is it a function of broadcast time constraints? Genuinely curious. Not making excuses for the Falcons. They choked big time. Haha
I had to step away from the game and the last thing I remember was Matt Ryan coming to the sidelines complaining of his helmet speaker not working. When I came back it was overtime. Belichick at it again. O'Brien in the inside.

Belichick at half: "Yeah, go ahead and send the other coach a hundred grand, and 150g's to Roger. Throw the refs 35K a piece, that was more than enough last time"
I never said this game was. In fact, I've been saying this same statement for years. This game is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Pats had an amazing comeback. Nobody can take that away from them. However, why do they deserve the win? Just because they were down? Just because they had the momentum? Bullshit. If they deserved the win, they would have won it in regulation (or at least gotten a stop after scoring in OT). In the end, they won by way of coin toss. Yes, they were the ones that scored after they won the toss, but not making them finish it is stupid. I'm not saying the Falcons would have marched down the field and scored themselves, but we don't KNOW they wouldn't have, so not giving them the chance is fucking stupid.

Well it definitely doesn't put you you in a equal advantage if you lose the coin toss. I guess though they both are relying on equal shades of luck. All you have to do is hope you win the coin toss, execute and the game is yours. The other team depends on luck in hoping that you screw up badly. Because otherwise they have no chance of winning. So it's kind like a grand display not screwing up.
For everyone defending the overtime rules saying the Falcons shouldn't have blown the lead, the game was tied after 60 minutes and that's what matters. I'm not a fan of either team (This is the only game I watched all year) Imagine a baseball game going into extra innings and if the away team scores first the game's over. The home team wouldn't even get a chance to bat. This is essentially the NFL's overtime rules and it's bullshit.

What game were you watching? Brady played well the whole game. His WRs had brick hands in the first half and that's why he couldn't complete a damn pass. Drops fucking everywhere.
Honestly I can't even be mad they won. That was a spectacular game. The Pats offensive line was hot garbage to start then Brady said, "I'm the fucking GOAT." And took over. Then all of a sudden ATLs defense becomes absolute garbage at the wrong fucking time.
I'm sorry this superbowl was so staged I might as well start watching pro wrestling again. Falcons weren't even trying to run out the clock at the beginning of the 4th quarter. And then that miracle fumble and recovery by New England to drive it down the field.
And then there was last drive by the falcons where they could of just run out the clock with some runs and then field goal. Man if this is where the nfl has gone, or maybe has been, I'm glad I don't waste my time watching it anymore.

Everything about it was too convient, Falcons have a huge lead. They fumble at the begining of the 4th, falcons drive it down into field goal range and instead of running they go for throwing and get hit back and just dig themselves deeper to a punt. Patriots score get a two point conversion and then win in ot. Like it all too sureal, you say its dumb I say it was on purpose. Just look at all the hype and attention, don't you think the nfl stand to PROFIT more off of an exciting staged super bowl, or a real game that ends in a boring landslide victory.

I wasn't talking about you saying Rodgers was better, while I disagree with that I was talking about you calling two pro bowl receivers shitty. There's no way to prove either side of your spacing argument other than your word.
i know what you were talking about and i was telling you it wouldve made more sense to say my rodgers claim was a hot take. go watch tape of jordy and cobb this past year. next to no separation and so many plays depended on rodgers extending the play by 5 seconds.

Tom Brady gets the same stats at his old age that Rodgers got his best years more or less. Tom Brady has the same type of stats but has the X factor with much more wins on average and super bowls (which is what really matters). I think Rodgers is more athletically gifted for the position but there's more to it than that and Brady blows him away in that aspect. Im sorry but I don't trust anybody to be in the situation the pats were in today and to come out with the win besides one person. And it's not Rodgers.

Lol Brady took an offense full of castoffs and made them great. He was short his one truly great weapon.
Rodgers is playing with receivers who can't create a foot of separation and a coach who is wasting his career. Brady is unquestionably the more accomplished quarterback but to say he is more individually skilled than Rodgers is a joke.

tell me why rodgers is consistently extending plays for 5 extra seconds. do you think he does it for fun? watch tape of jordy and cobb there is no space ever being created

At this rate they'll also win LII and LIII. So done with this dynasty bullshit. There needs to be rules in place to prevent it so other teams fans can actually enjoy watching the sport.
It's good for you. Imagine being a fan of any other team in the NFL. It's annoying and unfair. Makes the sport noncompetitive. Sort of like the Warriors in the NBA.
Put a rule in place that after a team wins a superbowl or divisional championship they have to trade a player away over a certain salary to the bottom team in their division.
[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 03:46:38 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Lmfao fuck off to your safe space the Patriots are the greatest
Or the NFL needs to put rules in place to even the playing field. There's a reason their viewership numbers are crashing and your team is a part of that reason.
This particular game, sure. But when you have a team that's shown up in 7 of the last 10 super bowls that is a problem with the league itself. The rule I propose is that the winning teams from each division have to trade a player over a certain salary to the worst team in their division.
So you want to punish teams and, by extension, their fans because some organizations have better scouting and talent development? You sound ridiculous.
No, I want every team to have a level playing field. The fact is there are teams that will never go to a superbowl. Browns, Jaguars, Rams, Chargers. These are just trash organizations and we're going to just keep seeing the same 5-10 teams or so rotating in and out of championships.
Patriots, Steelers, Packers, Broncos, Giants. These teams will always be in contention for as long as the NFL exists.
It's the same thing for me as an NBA fan. I live in Portland so I am a fan of the blazers. We have no hope of ever winning because nobody wants to move to this city. Free agents just refuse. There needs to be rules to stop that practice and allow lower tier teams to at least remain competitive.
Do you know that the Patriots haven't always been a good team? They used to be underdogs.
The Browns made playoff appearances for most of the 80s, the Rams made numerous playoff appearances in the 70s,80s, and early 2000s, and the Chargers have had their fair share of playoffs in the mid-late 2000s. And did you forget that Belichick coached the Browns?
Life isn't fair and neither are sports. And I say this as a life long Leafs fan...a team that hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967. If you want to talk basketball, I'm a Raptors fan who only recently learned what it felt like to have our team in the playoffs. I can talk baseball, too, if you'd like. Sure, the Jays won back to back in 92/93 but we've not won a World Series since. We've had some great seasons recently as well but the 20 years in between sucked.
If you want fair teams in sports, maybe you shouldn't watch any games involving people over the age of 5. You are absolutely ridiculous.
All of those playoff runs wouldn't have happened if there was that rule in place. I understand that it does happen and I understand it's just a part of the sport but it doesn't have to be.
NFL viewership is going down quick and this is one of the major reasons people are citing as not watching. This year's superbowl performed less than last yesrs, which had less viewers than the one before, etc. Some people who were asked said that the players protesting made them not watch, but others said it was because the game seemed noncompetitive or boring to watch.
You may just fundamentally disagree with me and in your opinion this isnt a problem that needs to be fixed. But in my opinion it's a problem. That's the disconnect for us.

Appreciate the fanbases acting like they know how this feels, but stop...you don't.
You couldn't know what the first overtime loss in superbowl history feels like, because it was the FIRST overtime loss in superbowl history.
You couldn't know what it feels like to blow a 21 point lead in the superbowl because no team has ever blown a 21 point lead in the superbowl.
It is really fucking easy to root for a bad team. I went to Georgia Tech and we are bad a lot of the time. It is really fucking easy to accept a blowout, because it wasn't your year.
In order to understand this loss you've got to want it more than anything, you've got to be able to taste it, and then you've got to have it taken away from you.
You do not know this pain, and I hope you never do.

It may not be similar to the NFL. But it definitely hurts.

As a fan of team "winning will piss off everyone else" I am super happy with the results. The smugness of the first half only to have it slowly sucked away until it all gets crushed in such an unbelievable fashion. I haven't been this hard at a sports result since Phil Kessel became a Stanley Cup champion.
Before the game today, I found a nearby Dunks and got a few donuts (I live in Vegas, so it's not a regular thing out here).
As the Pats got behind, I forgot about the donuts. In my sadness I ate one, and then Hightower stripped Ryan. I ate another one when the Pats had 3rd and 10 with like 2m40s left. I ate the last one at the OT coin toss.
I'm eating DDs every time the Pats play until the day I die.

Because, if Brady goes 4-3 in Super Bowls, as ridiculous as it sounds, his legacy would always be questioned. At 5-2 he is unquestionably the greatest QB of all time, and he still has a chance to add to that total.
This is also now unquestionably the greatest dynasty in NFL history. This level of success, in the salary cap era, is unparalleled.
Plus, I feel like people in New England care a lot more about professional sports than people in Georgia. I imagine a significant people in Georgia prefer CFB to the NFL.

Yes, many European countries for example. Japan too, and certainly many other developed countries as well. But the NFL teams would without any doubt wipe the floor with the amteurish teams in Europe. And don't even think about wasting your time with a "Club World Championship". We have that in soccer and most people don't care about it.
I would say the exact opposite for that reason, personally. I don't think it makes sense to say world champs when there is only one country represented in the league and that country is the only one to play at that level.
For example, there is the AFL in Australia for Aussie rules and they don't say World Champions.

Apologies for recording odd tv. But watch Edelman go into motion and block the outside linebacker. This idea of going into motion with only having intentions to get a running start to block a linebacker is illegal. It seals the edge and is unsafe for the linebacker

I will never call him the greatest. At some point you have to take into consideration the teams he's been on and the caching staffs he's had. Sooo much help his entire career.
It's just going to be annoying having to hear about this shit the rest of my life. Please retire, for the sake of reality checking fuckheads that make the football season at times unbearable.
Edit: I'll take the heat but it's true. Not saying he's not top 5 ever but give other QBs in history what he's had and you would say the same about them. What his teams have been able to do is not all because of him. Defense could largely be attributed for winning at least 3 of those SBs.
I think it's entirely possible that Manning, Brees or Rodgers could've won 5 super bowls with Belicheck and the Patriots. But Brady's really held up his end of the bargain these past 2 super bowl runs and especially the end of this game. So I don't know if those 3 would necessarily be better so I'm fine putting Brady as #1.

I don't know. The Pats are almost too good now. You know who else was too good? Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, McGuire, Sosa. Look, if they're clean wins, then you're looking at the greatest coach and player in the history of the game. But it's just too coincidental for me.

That face mask call was utter bullshit. Bullshit to the extreme. Falcons guys hand slips into mask unknowing. Patriots man is grabbing. Yet falcons get called. Also last play of overtime, guys knee was down and no touchdown.

That wasn't the penalty. I didn't agree with some calls both ways but I have to say...This was one of the best officiated and broadcasted games in a looong time. Glad they let the teams play even when it went against us
Well, I mean, there's a nice long track record of Belicheck cheating around Super Bowls and championship games...sooooo...pretty natural to draw a trend line from a nice healthy set of data points.
And it's established history that he takes from other team's playbooks -- so it's not hard to see him taking from the Saints' dirtiest playbook.
What's the best way to ensure you get "revenge" for being punished for cheating last year? Do whatever it takes -- legal or otherwise -- to win.

Are you retarded? I'm a Giants fan but Brady has cemented himself as the greatest ever after this win. There's no amount of play calling or drills or conditioning that can make someone perform to his level in a clutch situation. Most people couldn't have picked up a football after being 25 points down much less perform like that.
The pats had an entire fucking drive based solely on defensive PI calls. Yea, Shanahan should have called run, but fuck. As soon as it was out of hand, here come the defensive PI calls.

They lead in time of possession the whole game, by a lot. You can't be giving Brady that amount of time because he will make it happen. The Falcons have a roster that can burn clock but they just went for deep throws all game. I think at a certain point they should have switched gears and managed the clock.

Probably nothing. Meaning, no alternative. They've had pretty much this exact commercial playing in Boston for a half a year or so, except Tom only places the 4 rings in and she immediately says the "we're going to have to get you a bigger locker soon", and without the "Roger that".
So, they'd probably keep playing the old one. Though it is pretty cocky knowing all this, since it is so exactly similar to the old one, I bet they were shot on the same day. Still loving it tho!

He has brought the NFL to the highest highs it has ever seen financially and popularity wise.
He also decided to dish out punishment to players seemingly by what he feels like that day and he's judge, jury, and executioner. He doesn't care about "facts" he has "alternative facts" like "what's going to get people to click or tune in? I'm gonna fine this guy today"

Are you shitting me? He just took over the NFL commissioner position in 06, he did absolutely nothing to contribute to the NFL's rise in popularity. It was on the way up until he took over and implemented extra commercial breaks, etc. causing all sorts of issues with the fans.
You are absolutely right about the fines though. He looks at the job of commissioner like a politician looks at raising taxes and fucking over everything and everyone who got them to that position.

Not him personally obviously, but under his leadership the NFL has funded research and tried to use their position as the funding source to influence the methods and conclusions. Since the fact that football unequivocally causes brain damage hurts the bottom line, they have tried to make patently false claims supported by "data" that say football is perfectly safe.

The most important thing isn't the fact that they lost the super bowl, it's the way it happened. I, like many non-patriots fans, was rooting for the Falcons and I was going crazy about how bad the game was spiraling for them, I can't imagine how it would be to be an actual Falcons fan and witness your team blow the game that badly.

It didn't feel good. I dared to actually start talking shit. But It's weird being a Falcons fan, because we all kind of expect this result, that until the game is over, the Falcons can still lose.
That fucking OT rule scoring rule needs to go and move to the CFB way. A coin flip shouldn't decide the outcome. I've said it before this game and maintain it is a bullshit way to decide the game.

Remember when your franchise had actually won superbowls prior to 2007.
You don't feel our pain.
This isn't the pain of a tough loss. It's the pain of a historic loss for a fanbase that has NEVER felt the joy of absolute victory.
The Falcons franchise started when my father was 5 years old. They won 1 playoff game before my brother was 5 years old.

I just looked at her and nodded because she wasn't wrong. It strangely made me happy that we were so bad because I think I'd rather win 3 games than to lose to Super Bowl like that.

Similarly (and even more so since they made it to the superbowl) this was a great playoff showing by the falcons. Holy hell the nfc was tough this year.

Don't worry as another Bears fan we will take a defensive player in the draft instead of a QB. When that defensive guy doesn't work out he will be cut by us and signed by the Patriots right before they win a Superbowl.
edit: Never forget we passed on Aaron Rodgers to stick with Rex Grossman.

The throw that resulted in the loss of field goal range for the Falcons i the last quarter is what did it.
All the Falcons had to do was run it that play pick up a couple yards and make the field goal at about the 50 yard line.

So I'm certainly not an expert in football management, but I'm totally bamboozled by the way that the Falcons were able to steamroll the Pats for most of the game, but then end up blowing it by apparently making terrible calls. What the hell happened? Then the Pats start running these plays and you could see it in the faces of the Falcons players - they were totally stonefaced and didn't seem to know what to do. Who blew it, and why?

An interesting stat to consider, B+B have never scored in the first quarter of a Superbowl, all the wins come after adjusting to beat the opposition.

I don't think the Falcons really dominated them. Patriots were driving on them and dominating time of possession even when down 28-3. They just messed up in the red zone twice, one resulting in a pick d.
Siddicus ยท 15 points ยท Posted at 06:16:43 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's the biggest part of it, the Falcons were able to capitalize on the Patriot's mistakes but in the second half when the momentum changed they just didn't make mistakes to capitalize on.
SleepTalkerz ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 07:23:09 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Lots of factors. Coaching adjustments make a difference. Fatigue is a major factor. The Falcons put up a bunch of points quickly, including a defensive score, which resulted in their defense playing for the majority of the game and their offense sitting on the sidelines. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots were building momentum while the Falcons' defense was gassed.
Plus, everything about the Super Bowl is different, and that can mess with a team's rhythm. Halftime is twice as long as a normal football game, longer commercial breaks, etc. Particularly because of halftime, players frequently say that the Super Bowl is like playing two games. So essentially, the Falcons won the first "game," but the Patriots dominated the second.

Seriously. I'm with you (and the other responses...) Falcons kept gashing them, Matty Ice was 17/23, RB's 18 carries for 104 yds, not much you can point to for improvement, but they just couldn't close it out the way they needed to.

All the Pats had to do was miss one of the two point conversions, or not get a touchdown, or turn it over once, or miss the field goal, or miss a tackle, or ...
Everything had to come together for them to come back. They had to execute on every play and they did.
Acheron13 ยท 15 points ยท Posted at 06:11:03 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And ATL could have made it even more improbable by requiring NE to get an onside kick recovery also. Just running for no gain twice instead of losing 20 something yards trying to pass it would have probably given them a field goal, making it a 2 possession game with less than 5 minutes to go.

This play was the difference maker!! It was 3rd and 33. Patriots still had 3 timeouts if I'm not mistaken. My thinking was run the RB Draw/Dive, Pick up 1-10 yds and the try to pin NE deep after they call a Timeout. I don't know why they tried passing the ball, I understand they really wanted that field goal to "seal" the game, but to me running the ball just made so much more sense in the grand scheme of things.
It's hard to describe, but as a Falcons/UGA/Braves fan, I just had a feeling we weren't going to win. Even at the start of the fourth quarter, the bad feeling just wouldn't go away.

huh? I think he means the 1st and 10 play or the 2nd and 23. All they had to do was run the ball twice, waste 2 pats time outs or 80 seconds, and kick the FG to make it a 2 possession game with like 2 1/2 mins and no time outs for the Pats.

I recorded the game because we had a late start (TV died, but I could remote into the htpc) and midway through I saw the clock at 8:45 and thought "what if the game goes over? I should record the two shows after to be sure". So glad I did because the first recording ended 1 min before regular time ended.

As a Colts fan, I fuckin' HATE the Pats...
As a football fan, this was an awesome game.
I rooted for the Falcons, because my favorite player for a long time has been Dwight Freeney. A lot of football analysts had him out of the game after he left Indianapolis.
But then he went on the do some good in San Diego, and then went on to be in TWO Super Bowls, in Arizona and now Atlanta.
He was a factor tonight, and even got a sack. Best moment for me...
I wanted Atlanta to win this...
And I thought that they had it in the bag after the first half, but... The Patriots managed the best comeback in the history of the Super Bowl.
I HAVE to give them credit for what they did.
In fact, I stand in AWE of what they did tonight.
First overtime in history. First five time winner in history. Biggest comeback in history...
How can you not love this game, even if you hate the team who won..?

Narrative shouldn't dictate the quality of the matches. That said, I still think the WS beats this easily and the basketball finals beating this is debateable (which I think it does). But we shouldn't judge he quality of the games based on the storylines when talking about how well it was played.
This is perhaps the greatest comeback in all of the NFL.

Warriors blowing the 3-1 was more satisfying though, because they were the team, winning 73 games in the regular season, then choking it. It was remarkable. And it happened along 3 games, so it happened slowly and clinically and beautifully. Edit: not to mention, "The Block" and "the 3". It had the moments too.
This SuperBowl is a very close 2nd though.

A comeback like this in a single game is incredibly impressive, and more fun since it's just one game, but there's no way it's better than the Cavs comeback. They won three straight against the greatest NBA team ever, judging off regular season record.
Regardless, the NBA, MLB, and NFL just had three unforgettable championships in the past year. That's the best part of all

Villy, Chicago, and Clemson all won on the last play of the game. The Cavs went into the final minute of the final quarter of the final game against the best team in history tied at 89 and 699 in the series, coming back from 3-1. You even have a defining play for it all, "The Block." And yet, somehow, that was only the fourth best Championship game in this past year.
Stupid Penguins, being efficient and shit, winning a game early and not providing us with a storybook ending.

Nadal blew a 3-1 lead in the AO 5th set
SkiThe802 ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 04:24:41 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's like having a 3 point lead at the start of the 4th quarter though. This was more like down 2 sets to none and 2 breaks
evr487 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 05:00:30 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
from a Federer fan's standpoint:
before 2017 Australian Open
The last thing as a Federer fan you want to see in a 5th set match between the two is Federer down a break* in the 5th
*theoretically all Nadal had to do was hold serve in the 5th set to capture the AO
note: going into the AO, Federer had 17 Grand Slam titles while Nadal has 14 Grand Slam titles; Federer has the most all time but if Nadal won the AO, theoretically Nadal would have won the French Open -> one step closer to tying Federer -> one step closer to surpassing Federer; let's just say there was a lot of pressure both ways on that 5th set lead
SkiThe802 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:22:15 on February 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just no. Up one break in the fifth set is nowhere close to being up 19 points halfway through the 3rd quarter.
evr487 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:09:41 on February 7, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Federer's last Slam won was Wimbledon 2012 (~5 years). Prior to AO, Federer had taken off 6 months of competing and convinced his doctor to allow him to compete in AO and in his own words, "I'll leave it all out here in Australia and if I can't walk again for another five months, that's ok." He's age 35 and never thought he would make it deep into the AO let alone win it all.
It's how it usually is. One of tennis's most popular jokes is how Nadal is the counter to Federer and with the numbers/statistics to back it up. Nadal has all the necessary tools to quietly finish the match of all matches in the possibly last Tennis GOAT match - Federer v. Nadal rivalry. Nadal is known for clay "once considered to be the slowest surface" and Federer was known for his grass play "once considered to be the fastest surface". The AO took place on "neutral" hard court. Their 10+ year rivalry culminated with this Grand Slam.
Down 1-3 Federer won 5 straight games to win the AO. He made the necessary adjustments to counter his lifetime biggest foe. Federer mentioned, he may have faced Nadal too many times on clay early on in their careers (2-13) which gave him a Nadal complex. Federer will admit Nadal has been a solid counter to him. Is it just a single break Nadal was up on Federer? yes. Does Nadal have all the tools necessary to pull off a comfortable/quiet win over Federer in the 5th set? 10+ years of rivalry would point in Nadal's favor. But Federer did it...that mad man

I'm out of the loop, what's the drama with Goodell?
penelope-taynt ยท 81 points ยท Posted at 06:10:43 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
For Pats fans? Deflategate.
It's widely believed among most Pats fans (and a lot of other people as well) that Brady's 4 game suspension was wildly disproportional to the "crime" of deflating footballs, provided that you believe he even deflated them in the first place (which is highly debatable).
A lot of people think Goodell had a lot of heat from NFL owners to "punish" the patriots because they'd gotten off too easily in the past, and therefore Deflategate was an overblown (pun intended) witch hunt designed to cater to the other owners. He also apparently led Kraft to believe he wasn't going to target Brady in the investigation, leading Kraft to sort of step aside, only for Brady to be targeted anyway.
Goodell is blamed for dishing out completely arbitrary and inconsistent punishments throughout the league, and is hated pretty unilaterally by most teams.
So... fuck Goodell.

Goodell is the Nancy Pelosi of the NFL. A leader who has lost all sense of what he is leading and fallen to arguing about the most mundane details.
I'd explain more but I'd probably end up stabbing my cat and Raggedy Meow doesn't deserve that.

It was a heavy punishment that did not fit the crime, which the occurrence of is still highly
debatabledeflatable.Brady essentially got suspended for four games for failing to cooperate, which is kind of ridiculous given the context of the "ordeal".
Additionally, teams and fans across the league hate Goodell unanimously for his dictatorial style of being commissioner, fining players for domestic battery issues but suspending them for seasons for pot use. Also, this year saw a pretty significant increase in the calls for excessive celebration, which no one wants to see become a thing; that's also at his hands. He's hypocritical, unfair, and completely unchallenged.

I think it was about 80% luck to be honest. If Allen's arm hadn't have been underneath the ball the pass would've been incomplete, I'm pretty sure.
Really good technical skills from Edelman to even be able to grab the ball when he's got three defenders around him, though.

it's a muscle memory thing I think, at least to a degree. There's also something to be said about studies that show athletes being able to track ball movement and things like that much better than the average person. Still, there's certainly some luck involved but without a fair amount of skill that catch doesn't get made.

4 minutes left, had the ball in field goal range. Tried to throw the ball, took a sack. Tried to throw again, holding call. Got pushed out of field goal range. If they just run it twice it's an 11 point game with 3:30 left and new england would have been out of timeouts.
How do you fuck that up???

Is it worse because the Seahawks should have ran it once and fucked up...
... Or is worse because the Falcons had three opportunities in field goal range to put the game way out of reach and literally everything that could have gone wrong did.
They could have ran the ball into the center's butt three times and still drained the clock and kicked a FG. Man oh man. Awful. That's gonna haunt Falcons fans.

They couldnt. Belichek took the run away. First half was a brutal gamble but as you saw the game unfold you saw a plan taking place. Belichek was thinking towards the end of the game while the falcons were thinking for the start.
I think there was a stat where falcons had the ball 2 minutes less but led by 14. Impressive but doesnt help you burn clock

All thanks to an incredible initial tackle by Michael Huff. I'm a biased Texas fan, but that is still the greatest college game ever played, in my humble opinion. I figured UT was fucked when they were down by 12 with only 6 minutes left and lost their starting DB. Yet, I wasn't surprised that VY won it, and when it was 4th down and goal I didn't have a doubt in my mind that he was gonna score. I also thought he was robbed of the Heisman that year. Which remind me, Bush had to give his up, so WHERE'S VINCE'S TROPHY?!? jk

And when you run it and fumble, get stuffed, or miss the field goal, all you would hear is "they didn't stick with what got them here!" You can't look at decisions like these with rose colored glasses. In the moment, I remember thinking, yes, this is how you beat the pats. It's unfortunate that they took a couple dumb penalties and a bad sack, but look what happened when they gave the pats the slimmest of chances. Falcons knew the only way you beat the pats is to stay on the gas til game over... They just came up about 5 minutes short. Hell of a game, hell of a year, and this surely isn't the last you'll be hearing from this stacked falcons squad.

Hell even a kneel down would have been better.

Yep. At worst patriots have 2 min or no timeouts. It was a massive error and lost them the game.

omg... kneel downs with like 3:30 to go would have just been devastating. Take it to the 2min warning and then kick a FG to put it out of reach. That's some shit I'd do in Madden to make my brother throw his controller at the TV.

Yet, the Malcolm Butler play is just so photogenic. That will still be shown, and the Seahawks will still be seen as losing a "sure" win, but that doesn't even come close to how the Falcons blew it...

To think Seahawks play could be trumped...
djimbob ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 08:19:00 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The first plays of that drive were a 39-yard-pass, a 2-yard rush, and a 27-yard pass. This puts them in FG range at NE-22 with 4:40 left (39 yard FG). They don't want a quick FG. They want a TD or to at least milk the clock with a longer drive. They want another first down. Running three times and kicking a FG, still gives Pats a chance to win with two TDs (via onside kick) with three timeouts.
Sure, in hindsight running makes sense in FG range, but one pass attempt also makes sense on 2nd down as the Falcons running game was shut down in the second half. Second half rushes went for -3, 5, 0, 9, -3, -1 (became -10 yard holding penalty), 8, 1, 2, and -1. Only 3 of 10 plays were positive, and averaged about 0.8 yards per rush. Meanwhile Ryan's had been having success throwing the ball (to get into FG range).
On first play in FG range, they lose a yard running the ball. Trying to keep drive alive (to milk clock), they tried another pass but Ryan and the Oline failed the team by losing 12-yards on a sack. Now it's a 52-yard FG, which is not a safe thing (and you don't want to give the Pats the ball back at midfield if the long FG is missed). From there the play calling seemed reasonable (another pass as a missed 52-yarder gives Pats excellent field position). They call a safe pass to get back into easy FG range on 3rd and 23, but get a holding penalty (and then again screw up on 3rd and 33).
There is a logic there. Quinn and Shanahan didn't want to start running a "prevent" offense where they predictably switch to a 1-dimensional offense that isn't working.

I dont post in this sub at all but god damn what a stupid post. Youre acting like being down two scores with 3 min left or 1 timeout isnt basically a fucking death sentence. you think going back and looking up a couple stats makes you sound smart - it dont, cheech.
2 runs from the 22 and FG. Games over. gtfo with your onside kick shit
djimbob ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:33:38 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Two more short/negative runs from the 22 (Pats expecting time-consuming rush), Pats use their timeouts, keep the clock at ~4:00 minutes and Atlanta kicks a ~40 yard FG. And again, they did have an offensive holding penalty against them on a run on the previous drive, so it's not like a sack on a pass play was the only way they'd get driven out of safe FG range.
Sure down 11 points late in a game you are very unlikely to win (just like being down 8 with other team possessing the ball late or down 25 near end of third quarter). But onside kicks can happen and it doesn't end the game like a TD drive that makes it a 15 pt game with under 2 minutes and all Pats timeouts off the clock (like if they got a few more 1st downs).
Bigger comebacks have recently happened in the playoffs than your death sentence namely Green Bay @ Seattle 2014 NFC CG had a 12 point comeback getting possession at 3:52 (1 timeout left and not used, and it took about 2:30 and no timeouts to tie the game, leaving GB enough time to get a FG to send game to OT).

Yea yea shut up jim bob. You think a single anecdote proves they made the right decision? Pretty dumb dude. How many times have comebacks NOT happened in that situation? Without that information, no analysis can be made, jim bob. You gotta think about these things, jim bob. Can't prove a decision is right just because of one time something happened, jim bob.
The falcons also had 3 plays in a row, clock running, where Ryan snapped it with :21, :17, and :15 left on the play clock. Say whatever the fuck you want. The falcons gave the game away. You dont snap with +10 seconds left on the play clock and you run inside or kneel on those last two plays.
djimbob ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:12:31 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
21 seconds + 17 seconds + 15 seconds = 53 seconds. Patriots scored the TD to tie with 2pt conversion with a minute and two timeouts left.
By not fully using the play clock, they have the chance to do hard count and get an offsides for free five yards.
Yes, the Falcons gave the game away by not executing on offense and defense when they need one more great play to win. They didn't get third down conversions when they needed them on offense (or even just to get back in comfortable FG range) and didn't have 3rd/4th down defensive stops when they needed them. They allowed two needed 2pt conversions, they did nothing on their offensive drive with a chance to get game winning FG (with 57 seconds).
You can't look back in hindsight and say DUMBEST play call ever, because a relatively unlikely outcomes (9 yard sack then 10 yard holding penalty) moves them out of FG range.

I said one of the dumbest posts ever. are you seriously advocating for not using the full play clock when your trying to run a game out? are you fucking serious right now jim bob? that its better to try to get offsides with hard counts then it is to run the clock down?
thats fucking genius jim. call all the NFL offices right now. Its better to hope for offsides! everyones been wrong all along! every fucking post you have a new stroke of genius! thanks jim. taking time off the clock isnt worth it - hoping for an offsides is way more valuable. youre so smart
djimbob ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 19:48:52 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The post I was responding to was calling this the pass play in FG range (that resulted in the sack to put them on cusp of FG range, and then the next pass play with the holding penalty to put well out of FG range) the "worst playcall in history".
The pass play calls are totally justifiable. The odds of a 10 yard pass play sack are small. Yes, they executed horribly. Sure you score a FG on consecutive runs, Pats have only a 3% chance of winning. But they were starting with an 8% chance of winning with no FG.
Did you complain when the Falcons were up 16 in 4th quarter in Seattle and ran three pass plays that only took 6 seconds off the clock?
The reason the Falcons lost isn't clock management or play calling. It's no second half execution when it was needed most as well as great 4th quarter/OT execution on the Pats offense and 3rd/4th quarter execution by Pats defense.

And you conveniently are not responding to your idea that its better to try to get teams to jump offsides then run the clock down. Are you SURE thats right jim bob? or are you just saying fucking anything to be right? throwing shit at the wall right jim bob? see what stick jim bob?
running time off the clock is the way better call jim. stop talking about football. if you cant get that simple concept, then just stop. never speak about football again

to be fair, the holding call should've been offset by a facemask and replayed the down. from there, it's still a decent shot at a field goal to go up by eleven.
still, run the fucking ball 3 times and kick the field goal is right.

No, he said the Holding call and the Facemask penalty should have offset. What I am saying is there was a facemask on both the falcons and the Patriots on that play, in addition to the holding. So the 2 facemask calls offset; but the Falcons should still get called for holding
deepfreeze66 ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 04:19:01 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nope, if both teams are called for one or more penalties then ALL penalties are nullified and the play resets. Can be offsides on one team and the other team throws a hundred punches, the penalties would still offset.

Really? Did not know it worked like that. Regardless though, don't you think there's a possibility that the referee didn't call facemask at all because he saw that both players did it?

That shouldn't affect whether or not he makes the call. The penalties occurred, so you call the penalties. We have an actual system for penalties negating eachother, it's not the referee's place to take it into their own hands.

This. I was baffled by that as well. Calling a pass play there opened up the possibility of taking a sack and falling out of FG range. Not to mention a possible incompletion and stopping the clock even if he doesn't take a sack. Offensive coordinator would like that series back. That's not the only reason they lost though.....

It was poor play calling from the coach or hell even Matt Ryan I am going to audible regardless to a run and make my kicker earn his keep from 54 yards after the sack so im guessing about 48-45 yards before the sack and the penalty just made it a non option.
There was no reason to throw from a clock management standpoint or a situational point of view either. Any points at the time would have ended the game

Bill Belichick actually has a cursed statue of Andy Reid that he made from stone from Machu Picchu that he uses to force opposing coaches to fuck up in key games. It's why the Seahawks passed for the Butler INT.

That whole drive making me nuts. Ryan was snapping the ball with 20-25 second on the clock. Why not take it down to 5 and give the Pats less time, you know just in case?

On the bright side, the only way you MADE one of those SBs was with your second string QB and running back coming back from a 35-3 deficit in the third fucking quarter. That was the biggest comeback of all time.
I wanted to see Moon and the run and shoot in the Superbowl, kinda bitter about it still. The Oilers surely would have lost but it'd have been a better Superbowl than the one we got.

Real talk, I've never gave a damn about football. Last full NFL broadcast I viewed was the infamous Janet Jackson(?) wardrobe malfunction of whenever.
I watched this game because the Falcons are my hometown heros. Come the beginning of the 3rd quarter, my heart had never felt like that in 24 years. The hype was palpable, it felt like history in the making, I couldn't believe how I was feeling. So much hype. But they threw it all away.
I spent eight fucking hours in a god damn sport bar just to root for the hometown heroes and they managed to throw it all away. I can honestly say this is heartbreak I've never felt before in 24 years, and I don't EVEN CARE about football. It was that heartbreaking.
I'm going to stick to competitive gaming (aka eSports) because FUCK MAN, I don't see how anyone can put up with this heartache. I never want to feel this way again.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think I'm just going to completely sit out next NFL season.
I honestly can't do it with this team anymore: they are heartbreak given physical form. It wasn't enough for us to blow a 17 point lead in the NFCCG in 2012. Oh no, we had to double-down and blow a 25 point lead in the SUPER BOWL.
The saddest thing about this is I have absolutely no idea how the team will play next year. We could go 19-0 or go 1-15, and neither one would surprise me.

Being a UK can fan I don't get a lot of the Atlanta references. I lived through the Vick/Petrino disaster and many this side of the pond told me to switch teams (for the Patriots - glory supporters pop-up everywhere). I thought my loyalty had been rewarded, but man does this hurt.
The Pats won fair and square but I still hate OT rules. When the best offenses play the coin toss is still a major factor. The result probably would've been the same but both teams deserve the chance to attack if it reaches overtime.
This game is leaving a massive scar on the Falcons. Some things never heal fully but I'll continue supporting and hope for the best. Go Falcons!

1) Matty Ice played like Matty Slush. Look at his eyes and body language, then look at Brady's. Lots of slightly off target throws, zero pocket awareness and situation management.
2) Falcons were the more talented team, could've put up 42, but got complacent at 28. DeVonta, Coleman, Julio, Alford and the defense as a whole were incredible. So much team speed.
3) But like Alabama, any defense will get tired when it's on the field for that many plays. Towards the end, Brady was just carving a cake. Opened 6/6 in OT.
4) James White is the Patriotsiest player I think I've ever seen.

Rough calcs show 128 passing yards for the Falcons in the 2nd half. Google says 260' for the height of NRG stadium, likely to the topmost point. Gaga jumped off of the catwalk, so not even 260'. Even so, that would be 86 yards, which would mean my statement is just hyperbole. Perhaps with YAC factored out of the equation it might be true, but I don't have the patience for that haha.

Not really, running for the Seahawks didn't necessarily win them the game, plus the Pats probably were expecting the run so trying a pass wasn't crazy, though better to throw a corner route maybe, less risky.
Falcons could have run for no gain and still won the game on that drive with a FG, worse playcalling there imo.
_quicksand ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 05:09:30 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The Seahawks had to pass at least once on either 2nd down or 3rd because they didn't have enough timeouts. If they ran on 2nd, they would be forced to throw on 3rd. The Patriots had their run personnel on the field on 2nd down, so they figured their odds were better to throw, and they were-- it didn't turn out the way they wanted, but statistically it was the best move.

Even if they missed the field goal it would've spent more time off the clock running it and had better field position on defense. Yeah it is easy to look back and say what you could've done but to me this was obvious when they got to the 22 not after.
Burt-Macklin ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 06:46:20 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Field position actually would've been worse since they were able to punt inside the 20. A missed FG would've given the pats the ball on the 40.

I didn't mean kick a field goal after the sack and holding penalty. I meant kick it after 3 runs which should of netted at least a couple yards(though it could have resulted in a loss too) so if they missed they would've gotten it on the 22 if they didn't manage to lose or gain any yards.

"One to keep the greatest super bowl comeback alive"
AFTER being overthrown all game. At that point i feel like there were at least 3 plays where he was wide open and Brady just straight up missed him. I don't watch a ton of Patriots football but I've never seen a receiver more frustrated with Tom Brady than Edelman in that game. When McDaniels started realizing the connection wasn't there today and they started branching out to bit role players to move the ball, all I could think was 'Edelman's going to make the biggest play of the game out of nowhere'. Fuck the helmet catch, fuck Santonio homes, that was the most incredible catch in super bowl history.

Ya the Helmet catch was the more incredible all around play because it started with Eli breaking free from a game ending sack and then putting the ball up leading to the catch; where as this one was Brady protected thrown to Edelman, but the actual catches I can't even tell which one was more amazing, going to take some time to process

or he just understands that both catches were better than the Tyree helmet catch. Julio basically had to kick the ground full force from an in air horizontal position to make that catch. That was the tits. Edelman's catch was a tipped pass that had everyone thinking it would be another interception before he somehow came up with it (with the ball in clear sight, no less. Adding more drama when watching the replay when people could see how truly amazing it was).
TLDR; I hope Edelman gets laid on snapchat again tonight.
ChaoticMidget ยท 97 points ยท Posted at 04:06:35 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's kind of funny. The Julio catch is honestly one of the best throw-catch combinations, right up there with Manning-Manningham for me.
In both the Brady-Edelman and Eli-Tyree throws, the throws themselves were pretty bad. Eli's was a 1 on 1 jump ball in the middle of the field while Brady's actually gets tipped up and had a real chance at getting intercepted. However, the WR ends up making a ridiculous catch on the ball that plays a huge role in leading a comeback. it's always tough to judge which is a "better" catch: The technically amazing one or the absolutely unbelievable one.

The Manningham catch was Eli putting it so on the money that Manningham had to catch it.
The Tyree catch was Eli throwing the ball up to give his receiver a chance at making a play.
The Odell catch was Eli overthrowing the receiver, Odell gets fouled, and then still catches it.

The way I see it, the more impressive catches are the ones on bad throws. If the QB threw it perfectly, then the WR wouldn't have to make as good of a catch, he'd simply be there.

I mean Ryan threw that ball in the only spot that was really an option with how he was moving. If he throws it just a few inches lower it's at least tipped. Perfectly thrown ball that still required an amazing catch.

I saw Tyree and I saw Manningham, but whenever I see a great catch I love to yell THAT'S THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN. The Julio one was great, but Edelman's may actually be the greatest catch I've ever seen. It was unique in such a tremendous way. Literally had someone's leg between his arms and the ball 1/2 an inch off the ground and somehow he keeps control of it.

Julio's catch was insane because when the ball was thrown, it looked like no human was catching that and then Julio caught the fuck out of it.

I actually agree with you. Why people started downplaying his catch the past year or two, I'll never know. He caught it with 3 fingers, way over his head, while being slowed down because of pass interference. Sure it wasn't a playoff game, but as far as sheer amazingness, I think it's still the greatest catch.

Jones' catch was far better. It involved every single skill you'd want in an elite wide receiver. Ball location, strong hands, sideline awareness, and jumping. Edelman's was a fluke play that should've been intercepted. That's not to diminish the insane amount of reflexes and awareness he needed to make the catch, but Julio's is probably the second greatest catch I've seen, behind Tyree's

Holy shit, I basically only watch Superbowls, have very little clue in the way of football and get most of my knowledge from what my two friends who watch regularly tell me.
We watched it in "our" pub and holy motherfucking shit was that last quarter tense. Me and my buddy were basically the only ones rooting for the Patriots (I guess that's not cool around here?) and we had to take so much shit.
Seeing the last quarter - even with my limited understanding of the game - was fucking intense. I knew there was history being written and that this performance was incredible. The potential for meme-ery is unparalleled for quite a bit. I'm happy I stayed because I legit thought about leaving in the third quarter. Happy to be a very small part of history, lol.

Not really. He'd have to close at 4am. But we know him pretty well (I'd even consider the dude a friend) and he often does private "parties", without officially being open. That's one of the perks of spending quite some time in your pub - being on the short list for such occasions.

Unless you live in Massachusetts, you'll find that rooting for the Patriots isn't cool. Such is life, but haters gonna hate so I don't pay much attention to that noise.
Regardless of the sport or league, root for who you want to root for. In the end, (probably controversial to say this in a sports sub but) it is just a game.

did you not read? i just said all of that happened because of the team momentum. not brady. football is a momentum based game, the worst team in the league can beat the best if they have momentum. Brady made several bad passes that couldve been intercepted that werent because the defense had no momentum and were shook.

It was boring in two directions, the patriots were awful to start the game, the Falcons were awful to finish it. Brady had probably the best individual performance I've ever seen in a Superbowl, but that doesn't make up for the other boring aspects of the game.

That tiny little hover when both hands are off the ball and it's like half an inch off the ground, I thought for sure it was gonna hit. Then he smacks his hands together and even gets one under the ball, just so there's no question whether or not it's a catch.

Well, I'm pretty sure Belichick was extremely upset about that penalty on the extra point attempt. Not 100% sure if it was a botched call because I didn't look into it too much, but from what I saw, I don't think it should have been a penalty. Meaning the pats would have had one less point to deal with.*
FranchiseTag ยท 35 points ยท Posted at 06:20:18 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That doesn't make sense. If the Pats were down by 7 instead of 8 before they scored their last touchdown in regulation, they wouldn't have gone for two.

Yeah, you are right. But still, seems like a pretty bad call by the refs.

That's a great point. For all the complaining we do when they screw things up, it's only fair to give them credit for doing their jobs very well when it mattered the most.
Also yes, I thought there was no way that was a catch before the replay, and it was a great reminder of how good the eyes on a well trained ref actually are.

I'm still annoyed that the side judge, not the back judge threw the flag on the lined up over the center on the PAT. When he clearly wasn't. I felt that could have lent itself to a different tone for the 1H.

The final holding call against the falcons that knocked them out of field goal range, there should have been a face mask call on the patriots to cancel out and reset the down. They could have won if the refs hadn't missed it
bodidle ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:04:32 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Dude was pretty decisive in his call when you see his expression. Considering the ball was inches of the ground, dude must have laser vision. And balls. Definitely massive balls

They missed a blatant facemask on the holding call that took Atlanta out of field goal range. Would have offset and they'd replay the down.
Otherwise they were fine, but that was a big one.

The missed double face mask (would've resulted in an off-setting penalty). The refusal to take a second look at the Ryan "fumble." The multiple holding calls on the falcons D with no retribution on the Patriots D. The second half was tilted in the Patriots favor no doubt.

I totally agree with this to include the missed no-TD call at the end of the game... White was down before the ball crossed the line... pre-emptive celebrations. That should have been called back for sure

Some people see things differently. There was definitely a missed face mask call on the Patriots, but I also think there was a helmet to helmet missed call against the Falcons on the 2nd or 3rd play of the game that could have changed everything much more. It would have been called in any game but the Super Bowl.
DAC_tbwe ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 06:50:29 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
White's touchdown was very clear. Not even a close call in my eyes. But that was after the tide had turned. There is a defensive hold on every play and to see all those called against atlanta with no retribution is a bit much. And the fact that Ryan's fumble wasn't even REVIEWED is absurd.
Polterghost ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 06:55:21 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Dude... EVERY turnover is reviewed automatically. Even in the regular season this is the rule. Just because they didn't announce it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
DAC_tbwe ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:45:15 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But it happened so quickly. There was no second look. No second opinion. There was a decent question as to whether the ball was moving forward but there was no delay in moving to the next play. I've seen way less questionable plays reviewed without a question. This one seemed to be brushed under the rug.
Polterghost ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 08:01:47 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There was a second look. There was a delay, the entire offense and defense had to come on/off the field. That's more than enough time if the replay was obvious (which IMO, it was).
Point being, some guy in the booth HAS to give the thumbs up after every turnover. They aren't gonna forget this rule in the frickin super bowl

You just witnessed the greatest super bowl of all time.
YourUndoing ยท 15 points ยท Posted at 06:05:39 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Greatest 4th Quarter of a Super Bowl ever. I still think, bias and all, that SBXXXII was the greatest SB ever. Broncos vs. Packers, the game was crazy the entire way and both teams were pretty evenly matched. Didn't go OT but had crazy moments galore the entire game. This game didn't really start until the 4th Quarter honestly. Definitely one of the top 2-3 SBs though.
dank-nuggetz ยท 19 points ยท Posted at 06:11:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'll definitely concede that. I think SB49 was even better from start to finish, with an equally exciting and mindblowing final few minutes.
What we just witnessed was the GOAT making the greatest comeback in SB history, and one of the best ever period. Down 28-3 with 8:31 left in the 3rd. My mind is still blown. I think front to back this game was definitely not all that great, but the final 1.5 quarters of that game are the best in NFL history imo. Even casual fans were speechless in a way I haven't really seen before.

I don't think so. The first 2.5 quarters were terrible. Not just okay, but actually awful. The last 8 minutes were great, but that doesnt make up for the rest of the boring game. There have been back and forth superbowls much better than todays game.

While I agree with you, the sheer size of the comeback adds so much value to that game.
The game might not be one you watch on replay, but the dramatic recap with that deep narrator voice will be one of the best in history.
willharford ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:02:39 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The comeback was great, but I think it's being a bit overblown. What's almost as surprising as the comeback is the fact they needed a comeback at all; the Falcons defense is not good. Then a team that put up 21 in the first half could hardly get a drive together in the second. The Patriots were awful in the first half and incredibly lucky in the second. Don't get me wrong, they played great in the second half, however, 10 times out of 10 a great performance stills means a loss with a deficit like that, unless they have a lot of luck on their side.

Manning's problem wasn't just the surgery. He had the surgery that meant he couldn't use his upper body to throw at all. He was fine after he relearned his throwing motion to use more lower body motion, then his foot/lower leg gave out, and he was fucked.
Other then his ACL almost a decade ago Brady hasn't had any health issues. He'll fall off eventually, but I don't think it'll be Manning like.

The thing I go back to is the fact that Peyton looked like a God only four years ago. He went from All Time great season to average to trash in a span of three seasons.

How does Julio Jones finish that game with only 4 targets?
It's simple, if he's open, throw it to him, if he's covered, throw it to him and let him show off his athleticism.
Edit: For those saying he was doubled all game...I know. He was doubled on all 4 targets also...4 catches 87 yards.
Edit #2: 4 targets is the fewest in a game for Julio since his rookie season in 2011.

At half time I told my brother that NE could ring up 28 pts in the 2nd half, especially with Atlanta's defense wearing out from being on the field so long. The question was whether it would be enough.
I was slightly off about the 28, but i do think the sheer number of plays by the NE offense really wore down that Falcons defense.

In some ways, the obvious choice is the same in both. While Madden obviously doesn't compare as a whole, that situation is pretty much identical. What's even worse is the fact that the Falcons were running well all day.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:31:29 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There's a a shit load more elements to the decision than what you see in Madden. Substitutions being a complex element and players looking gassed. Didn't the Falcons RT get injured 1 play before? A run play isn't a shoe-in and not only were they doing well on the run but also dink and dunking on the pass.
Also, it was extremely poor decision making on Ryan's part. All he had to do was throw the ball away but he literally did the only thing he shouldn't do. Even with the run, it's not a sure thing.
Falcons OC was probably thinking a run will be another loss, Ryan can always throw away if nothing is open and then he didn't and he got sacked for a 10 yard loss. Insane.
thatissomeBS ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:00:22 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even if he throws it away, that stops the clock. A run, even if you lose a yard or two, the clock keeps ticking.

I can understand the killer instinct. Get it closer, guarantee the field goal so it's not a 52 yarder, otherwise if you miss it you give Brady great field position. In hind sight it's absolutely terrible, but that's the nature of football. If he runs it three times for a total loss of 2 yards, kicks a 54 yarder and it misses, he gets called too conservative. In the end we simply witnessed the most legendary quarterback performance of all time.

I agree with this. Passing the ball was not a bad option, we've seen teams lose when they don't play to win, but rather, play not to lose. But if you're taking that chance, you cannot get sacked or get a holding penalty. That is absolutely inexcusable.
SynSity ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:46:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah I see a lot of people complaining that Atlanta played not to lose in the 4th quarter, and a lot of people complaining that they were passing there. Can't have it both ways. The reason teams often play not to lose is because it's the safer option. It was on Ryan to get rid of the ball and make sure not to take a sack.

Because they have an MVP quarterback and everyone is expecting them to run it. Maybe the catch the Pats off guard? While yes, I was expecting a run, I don't think it's attrocious when Matty Ice is your QB to pass it. He HAS to know he CANNOT take a sack though.

But the mentality for the entire quarter up until then was basically, don't let Matty Ice do his thing, let's burn the clock. That's the problem, you can't flip between conservative and aggressive on a dime.

The Atlanta run game had turned to shit and they were moving the ball pretty effortlessly through the air. And if they didn't get another 10 yards or so, it woulda been a pretty deep FG. They just felt better throwing and didn't really consider the situation. Still....you gotta pound the ball and trust Bryant.

4 for 87 in the fucking Super Bowl.
I am not talking shit on Julio, but I've felt like Antonio Brown was the greatest WR in the league for the past two seasons, over Julio and AJ. Not that he wasn't as good, just that I always saw AB as better...Now I kind of see Julio as the best. That sideline catch was filthy.

I'm not trying to take away from it but I do take issue with people saying it was a better catch. A more amazing play maybe. But not a better individual catch.
The way I see it...Julio could absolutely make the play Edelman made. Edelman doesn't have the athletic ability to make the play Julio made.
thehumble_1 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:59:28 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
he made receptions on 10% of the falcon's plays. They only had 44 plays and held the ball for 23 minutes. They were 1/8 on third down, so most of the reason is that they didn't get a chance to throw it to him.

I honestly didn't think Julio was that good until I really watched him play tonight. He did everything right, splitting us up the middle when he wasn't the target was probably more important that his 2 inhuman catches. Much respect to Julio.

Rainstorme ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 03:59:52 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He made a lot of bad throws that his receivers bailed him out on. 3 of Julio's 4 were either poorly thrown or bad decisions (2 plays on the sideline that pretty much only Julio and maybe AJ Green can make, 1 where he had to pull it from the CB's hands). That's why I'm saying he was low key bad. His stats don't tell the story so it wasn't noticeable.

If you honestly think that sideline throw was bad, you're crazy. It's a throw that only his WR can catch it. It had to be an amazing effort from Julio but the whole point of the QB-WR relationship is to place balls where only he can make a play on it.
Rainstorme ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 05:38:05 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That throw was fucking awful. It didn't have to be nearly that difficult of a catch if he put it in the proper spot. Don't just repeat what Aikman and Buck were saying.

As bad as he was..his offensive co did him no favors
they were in FG range to almost certainly seal the game? RUN THE FOOTBALL - thats football 101.
instead you dial up some drop backs and end up getting punished so far, it gets down to 3rd and 33.
It was an epic collapse by the play calling on offense for atl and their inability to stop multiple 2pt conversions.

i'm pretty sure they were closer than 53...
either way, you still take the run. even if its no gain.
its a much better guaranteed outcome.
dropping back to pass can have multiple negative outcomes (a pick, sack, bad penalties, etc). and positives as well, its up to the coach but imo, you take the safer choice when the superbowl is at stake.
but what do I know, i'm not a coach lol.

I thought ATL used him pretty well as a decoy - he cleared out the safety on several big plays, including the Hooper TD. That said, it clearly wasn't enough - I was surprised they didn't run a few more plays to force feed him the ball (bubble screens, quick slants, etc) so he could try to make a play in space.

Carroll or Bevell, it matters not. By not calling an expected time out, it made the Seahawks rushed, and have to decide on a play pretty quickly.
And I"m on your side with the call. It was not a bad play call at all. Passing on that play was smart in that if it failed, it gave Seattle options on 3rd. A failed run would have burned their last TO and made it crystal clear that a pass was coming on 3rd down.

Its complicated, he has had a lot of criticisms running the league. But this particular instance was inline with the deflategate decision and what many perceived as a witch hunt against the pats. But despite penalizing them and suspending Brady, he still had to hand them the Lombardi trophy.
Personally I think if you're gonna hate on him do it for not addressing issues like concussions, guns, and domestic abuse. A squishy ball seems less significant.

For me that's the whole point. Goodell dragged something like deflategate through an entire year, costing the league who knows how much money (which gets passed on to us through memorabilia and TV costs), but suspends people for domestic abuse for 1 game? And suspends someone who a federal court told him to stop messing (cause he didn't have a case) with for 4 games? Where's his damn priorities?
Plus, he's a dick. A huge dick, like Scott.

Even if they had video footage of Brady and Belichick on the sidelines sticking a needle into the ball to lower the pressure it should've been a $25,000 equipment violation fine. The modern dynasty of the Patriots fucks up the whole drive for parity in the NFL which is why Goodell tries to find ways to push the Pats down.

Think of the white line at the start of the end zone as a a vertical wall, if any part of the ball contacts that line while the player has possession and isn't "down", it's a touchdown and the play is over, so the ball carrier getting pushed back was after he scored and didn't matter.

Surely you don't mean the one on Martellus? There was a player earlier where a Falcon player made significant contact before the ball arrived, but he had turned and was playing the ball so it rightfully wasn't PI. You can't faceguard in the NFL and hit him before the ball gets there.

I didn't when I watched it live, that's why I wanted to watch again.
After watching again: no I don't think that's pass interference. The ball hit the receiver in the hands, it was knocked away, the defender's arm is a little bit early and touches the receiver's chest but not so bad as to make an entire season defining call that ends the Super Bowl instead of letting them play it out. The receiver had an opportunity to make a play and didn't, it's not as though he had no chance to catch the ball because the defender arrived early. That is definitely not significant contact before the ball arrived, and it's pretty loose to say he's not playing the ball when he knocks the ball away.
Doortofreeside ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 22:21:06 on February 15, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There's nothing in the PI rule about the receiver having a chance to make a play even after the illegal contact. You can argue about whether the rule is too soft, but that call was totally consistent with how the rule is written, and, ime, how the rule is called. If he had made even a half-hearted effort to locate the ball then you could make an argument, but blame the LB not the ref, because he didn't even do that.
"Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiverโs opportunity to make the catch." From: http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/passinterference
Element 1: Defender is not playing the ball Element 2: Defender makes contact before the ball arrives Element 3: That contact significantly impedes the receiver's ability to make the catch -- true whether or not Martellus also had a chance to pull it down even after the interference. DPI doesn't require that the defender make a catch impossible.
You argued that the defender was playing the ball since he knocked it away, but I doubt that's how anyone interprets the "playing the ball" statement, though I couldn't quickly find anything definitive on that.
soullessgingerfck ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:18:15 on February 15, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Neither element is met. His contact didn't restrict his opportunity to make a catch, the ball hit him in the hands. Also the defender knocking the ball away shows that he was playing the ball. He physically touches the ball. That's playing the ball.
It was a terrible call.
Compare to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qImSI5mzG8&t=1h48m20s
Where the player is fouled by 3 people, but the refs don't make that call in the last second because it was minimal contact and you force the player to make the play when the game is on the line instead of bailing him out and determining the game yourself as a ref.
rustypete89 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:32:37 on March 19, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Look at this slow-motion replay and tell me 1) you don't think contact was made before the ball got there, 2) that the defender turned his head around, was aware of the ball, and that he was actually making a play on it (and didn't just touch the ball by accident), and 3) that the contact didn't impede Bennett's ability to make the catch in any way.
If you tell me you see all of those things, you will be confirmed an idiot.

It's a Pats legend. Darth Brady was a Dark Lord of the Pats, so powerful and so wise he could use the Balls to influence the players to create points... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from losing 28-3. The dark side of the Ball is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing the Super Bowl, which eventually, of course, he never did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice took it into overtime in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from scoring, but not himself.

Ok So Follow me here with the Star Wars analogy to the fullest.
Brady is Anakin, he fights against a much tougher opponent as the scrappy underdog who everyone loves and wins the superbowl thats like Episode 1, and then he beats the shitty team everyone hates (the eagles) thats episode 2.
then Belichik reveals that he was actually evil and orders the forming of the patriot empire creating a death grip on the AFC winning their third superbowl (order 66) but as he is about to ascend to his highest form as emperor and vader he is struck down by his former mentor (the giants) in episode 3 on mustafar in 2007.
It Takes years for Brady (vader) and Belichick (Palpatine) to recover but when they do they have a new weapon a "death Star" (Gronkowski) and they get to the superbowl again but the Giants have found a new hope a plucky upstart named Victor Cruz who salsa's his way into the superbowl, Gronkowski gets injured and on the final play isn't able to make the hail mary catch losing the game. episode 4.
this was episode 5. the empire just struck back. Matt Ryan took the spot Luke, Eli was Ghost Obi Wan getting his walter peyton award on the side line, and Brady just chopped his fucking hand off and pimped walked out of cloud city.
Now maybe I've taken this analogy way to far and I'm a massive fucking nerd... or maybe were waiting on episode 6.
edit: the Rams were the Separatists, the eagles were the sith (dooku) because no one likes them, the panthers were the unsuspecting jedi who got murdered in order 66. if anyone is confused by the first 3 superbowl analogies. and then obi-wan vs Anakin is 07.

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

That is not just because of how good Brady is though, it is because organizations will never give a coach another opportunity to spend 3 years plus building a team around him. Owners are way to results oriented in the forefront. They have an almost despicable way of looking for Short term good, even if it is a long term bad, and will toss aside a coach who is short term bad, but long term great for the club.

hint: they aren't stars, outside Brady and a few others. Bill is just good at scheming, game planning, and getting those players to execute with discipline.

I already imagined the hot takes, "is it time for Brady to hang it up?"

His offensive line collectively made the second half possible.

He's always had an excellent offensive line and I think they've taken Brady from being a good quarterback to being a great quarterback.

There were a few throws in particular where he showed that extra bit of greatness. Most NFL QBs could make 90% of the throws. The elite ones can make 95% of them. Brady makes an extra couple that keep a drive going. That and composure. And he's on a good team with a great coach. But he is fantastic.
And he's 39. Damn.

What they don't seem to understand is that New England didn't win that game. Seattle lost.

Now we replace them with Warriors and Cavs. Not much has changed, when the finals can be predicted at the start of the regular season it's not parity.
pouponstoops ยท 38 points ยท Posted at 04:30:02 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Cavs have been good only when Lebron came back, and Warriors since Steph blew up. So both have been elite for....two years? Hardly compare to the dominance of the Lakers and Celtics of old.
theallenjohan ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 04:39:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Maybe more a LeBron team than Cavs, worded wrong. A LeBron team has reached the finals every year for the past 6 years or something.
And Warriors literally added Kevin fucking Durant to their 73 wins teams. It's guaranteed dominance for them in years bar bad luck.
Not to mention for like the past 2 decades only notable teams are the Lakers, Spurs, Heat. 3 out of 30 isn't much for parity. Before that we had Jordan's Bulls dominated the entire 90s.
pouponstoops ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 04:51:18 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Reached but not won. The east hasn't fielded many teams outside of Lebron for a while, but the West has been a bloodbath.
And the Lakers added Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. Doesn't guarantee jack.
Notable being what? Winning the Championship? You forgot the Mavs, Rockets, Pistons. And 20 years ago includes the Bulls. Or do you mean contending, consistently good teams? Because then you can throw in teams like the Magic, Suns, and Jazz too.

Oh no, they freak out. I was living there for Brady's first two. After his second, some guy at Northeastern drove his SUV into a crowd of people on the street celebrating. IIRC Northeastern then canceled like anything fun for the students that year because they had gotten so out of hand. I made it down to Kenmore for the first one and it was a mad house.

In short he engineered a 4 game suspension against Brady, a $1mil fine, and loss of 2 draft picks against the Pats for basically nothing. Even non Pats fans think it's bullshit over the way Goodell is judge, jury, and executioner of any and all punishment. The worst part is that the league isn't even consistent. The severity of punishment depends upon exposure and public opinion, not the actual infraction.

You can also say the same thing earlier in the quarter when on a 3rd and 1 and they attempted a deep shot which led to a fumble.
jooni81 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:26:07 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
yeah, that might even be a worse play call, because there was like 8 minutes left. but they had 3 (4?) chances to get it right after the jones catch, and they messed it up each time.

No... that is THE comeback of this and the last century. I watched that whole series LIVE (funny enough I was basically a Red Sox fan thanks to alot of my friends in college and them being the underdog).
But THIS game comes in 2nd (or 3rd... that Seattle loss 2 years ago was huge one too) of all time worst chokes imo

As a lifetime falcons fan this was very very difficult to watch.
I knew Brady wouldn't let us blow him out. I knew that we would be up at the half. After that first 2nd half 3 and out, we responded with another stop, and touchdown, but still I knew we needed to score again because points were coming.
Then the worst call I've ever seen takes place, momentum shifts and we fucking choke like always. I'm not exaggerating when I say this city is so depressed. We blew our shot, and we deserved the loss with how our defense gassed out, and the sheer stupidity of our play-calling. We really can't seem to shake it man, and it really sucks.
Stranger Things season 2 trailer was dope though.

But they didn't choke any of those other game away either. Just got beat.
A better example of choking would be the Seahawks blowing a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter of the Super bowl then throwing an interception from the 2 yd line when down by 4.
seattletotems ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:13:46 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I guess it depends on how you define choking then. For me, coming into a playoff game and not performing to the level that got you there would be choking. Playing a close game and losing wouldn't be choking in my book. Don't get me wrong the Falcons choked in the second half but I just wouldn't say it was the biggest choke ever. They still played a solid 2 quarters of good football prior to choking.

Hogan's not squirrely enough and Amendola isn't getting any younger. We need to be scouting FCS games and practice squads NOW for Jules' replacement. Those over 5'11" need not apply.

I was in the car driving back from the vet listening to the radio broadcast and when that catch happened, the whole broadcast went fucking nuts. The color guy immediately screams "You think Tyree! You think Manningham! And now you're going to think Edelman!"

Might not want to post a static image if you want an actual answer.
If I'm remembering the correct play, I would say that it was a catch. I'm also not an NFL referee. The issue is "control". Dez had one hand and potential lack of control as he fell with it in one hand. Had he had both hands on that ball, and it didn't move at all, it would have been ruled a catch in that game.

Totally forgot about that catch. That was insane. If it were a game changer in the Superbowl, I'd definitely give Freeman's grab the edge.
But Edelman's gets top spot in my book, only because of the circumstances. Freeman's was still completely bonkers though.

JustinianTheWrong ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:28:10 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The only guy in my dorm rooting for the Patriots today is a diehard Giants fan. His logic is that if Brady goes like 10-2 in superbowls, it makes those 2 wins by the giants look better and by the transitive property Eli Manning is the greatest QB of all time. That last part he said as a joke, but it was pretty funny to watch him cheer for a team he hates just to make his favorite team look better.

The NHL has this pretty much every year.
I'm convinced that the refs control the game to increase the number of game 7's to help drive ratings and t.v. time. Because if you watch regular season hockey there isn't as much parity as there is in the playoffs.
The 2014 LA King's went from being 1 loss away from being out in the first round to Stanley Cup champions.

Why does everyone hate Roger Goodell? I'm new here
Avengedx ยท 27 points ยท Posted at 04:30:25 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He is the commissioner of the NFL. He also had the quarterback of the winning team suspended for the start of the season over "deflate gate". The winning team lost draft picks, and other things. We were guilty of wrong doing, but the situation was handled poorly and extremely public with many things being leaked to many reporters for an infraction that more then one team does. Brady basically got crucified for this.
It is hard to not be biased while explaining this because I have been a pats fan for a long time. Goodell has been inconsistent with his punishment for a lot of things. He basically made himself the Judge and Jury of the NFL. A lot of different fans agree, and disagree with many different decisions he has made, but the game has definitely changed since he took over.

I mean, we were found guilty in a bullshit court, but we are guilty in the eyes of most of our peers. As you could read from my comment I am trying to be as unbiased as possible with how I am wording it, but it is hard to do so. At the end of the day, none of us knows what actually happened. What we do know is that if it was a unfair investigation that probably would of seen no action against us, but in the sense I am talking about, guilt is in reference to the league and how they judged it.
We were found guilty by the league. Saying we were not is not bullshit. That is what happened. We were found guilty, and we were punished. That is not an admission of wrongdoing, it is just an admission that we were judged with wrongdoing.

How the trial was run would not matter in the least if the outcome was always correct. The issue is simply that there was no guilt and yet the organization was found guilty.

As great as this sentiment is, and btw this may be because I am in Charger territory that hates the Pats with an absolute passion, I do not get to see the positive points. BTW, I do not feel that we were in fact guilty of anything, I am just stating the same thing over and over though which is that the league deemed us guilty, so our peers, which does not include inclusive informed adults, see us guilty in their eyes as well. That was my entire point 4 or so posts up from here. I am not refuting science. I am not saying it was a fair situation, but I was trying to be as impartial to someone that said they had no clue why people hate Roger Goodell. His NFL convicted us of wrongdoing, and we paid the price. We were guilty to the NFL. WTF is this so hard for people to understand. I am a fucking pats fan. No part of my being felt it was right, but I cannot deny that we were found guilty by the NFL which cost us losing our QB, a Fine, and Draft picks...

During the 2014 season playoffs, the Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 in the AFC Championship game and went to Super Bowl XLIX, which they won against the Seahawks 28-24. In the AFCCG game, which was played in Gillette Stadium, in one play Tom Brady was intercepted by D'Qwell Jackson, who figured the balls had too little pressure and the controversy started around that. However, it was super cold (24 degrees iirc) and raining, and the Law of Thermodynamics clearly applies here when it says that air pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume is constant (PV = nRT). Many professors and researchers from renowned universities have already proven that the math is correct. However, the NFL clearly doesn't understand such simple logic, so there was obviously some ball deflating scheme going on which was obviously to the benefit of the Patriots because the match was such a shootout. So Roger Goodell hired a PI called Ted Wells and squandered millions of dollars (can't recall what the figure was exactly) in an investigation which didn't draw any conclusion other than that Tom Brady was more probably than not generally aware of a scheme to deflate footballs below the 12.5 psi minimum and the league started a witch hunt against the Patriots by fining the team 1 million dollars, docking our first and fourth round draft picks and suspending Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season. Tom Brady and the NFLPA took the case to justice when a judge determined that Commissioner Goodell took it too far and annulled Brady's suspension. The league recurred and 2015 was marked by media scandals and shit about Deflategate and how Tom Brady's legacy was forever tarnished and full of asterisks. Then, during the offseason last year, the judges ruled that Commissioner Goodell was allowed to do whatever he wanted to the players as the CBA said and reinstated Brady's suspension. If Tom Brady wished to pursue the case any further, he would have to take it to the SCOTUS, so he gave up and served the sentence.
In the first four games without Tom Brady, however, the Patriots went 3-1, 1 1/2 of the first games with Jimmy Garoppolo as the starter and the rest with rookie third stringer Jacoby Brissett under center. When Tom Brady came back, he went 11-1 and set the record for highest touchdown-to-interception ratio at 28-2 the entire season and secured the #1 seed for the franchise.
In the meanwhile, Roger Goodell still tried to drag Tom Brady's name through the mud, albeit with greater difficulty as this was arguably the best season for Brady, playing better now at age 39 than 10 years ago at age 29. This Super Bowl victory cemented Brady's status as the GOAT QB, with 5 Super Bowl victories and 4 Super Bowl MVP awards.
There's no TL;DR I can think of right now, sorry.

Watching the Warriors blow it and seeing the fresh smugness drain from the faces of their fanbase was wonderful.
It was even funnier when the Indians blew it, but there was no schadenfreude because the Indians were the plucky underdogs of the playoffs, even if the Cubs had a better story about breaking The Curse.
And now the Patriots won. All these blown leads are hilarious, but it's a shame they went from miraculous to tragic.

Chargers beat the Falcons after Falcons blew a 17 point lead at home. I think the Falcons accidentally inherited the "choke when it matters most" gene from them and it became active at the start of the 4th.

Huh, TIL that attempting over the course of two seasons to cripple a team by suspending its top player for 25% of the regular season's games over dubious and unproven claims of cheating is how the league actually supports its favored team, albeit corruptly.

They barely punished him for being caught cheating (and yes it was proven) multiple times. Considering he still gained money from the league as a result of the cheating, and he was out for only four games, I would say that the NFL is most definitely not against the patriots.

people explained why they hate goodell already, but incase you missed actually happened, Rog was holding the trophy to give to Mr. Kraft and giving a speech and everyone was booing ( at least thats how it sounded, a constant unending "boooo" the whole time he spoke). The second he handed the trophy to Kraft, the boos immediately turned to cheering.

There was one half where one team dominated the other and then forgot that they had to play a second half. Then Tom Brady came out and took a big old dump all over some birds. Then the game was over. Also, Matt Ryan needed the heimlich maneuver about 3/4 of the way through the game but unfortunately nobody employed by the Falcon's front office was ever taught how to stop someone from choking.

Well yeah, it was a Dan Quinn defense that got shredded against the Patriots two years ago also. ATL coaching lost this game. If they just ran the ball when they were in field goal range with 5 minutes left, the game would have been over. Instead they passed, gave up a sack, then passed again and got a holding penalty. Two runs for no gain would have probably been a win.

Over the course of a season, sure, the '51 Dodgers were as bad as it gets in baseball, especially with the whole Bobby Thompson thing. But giving up 31 unanswered points while blowing a 28-3 lead in the goddamn Super Bowl is the single biggest choke job of all time. I mean, it's the fifth biggest comeback of all time in the NFL and, obviously, the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.

His offense scored 21 points. They allowed 19 points in the fourth quarter. One was a fumble by Ryan if I remember correctly and another one was because he took a sack when he could have thrown the ball away. It's not unreasonable to ask your offense to score 3 points in one quarter.

No I don't think it's unreasonable at all, but the defence blowing a 21 point lead in less than a quarter is. Either way in the 4th quarter the entire Falcons team forgot how to play football.

If we have to deal with that, you can surely deal with us bringing up a historic comeback.

I was actually very impressed with Ryan and the Falcons throughout the playoffs. Your team has serious talent, but they don't yet have maturity and the mental toughness that comes with it. It will come with time, and this loss will fuel it, and they will be back in the SB.

While true the defense did play good for more of the game than not. The offense only scored 21 points which is going to be hard for most teams to win in the Super Bowl. Not to mention even when the defense got stops the Falcons offense continue to stall or fuck up over and over in the second half.

Very_Good_Opinion ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 04:03:18 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I really want to put this all on the coaching. Why did Matt Ryan only throw 23 fucking balls in the Super Bowl.
Wasn't Freeman there to pull some pressure off the receivers? They did that and then forgot the part where you throw to the receivers, specifically the best receiver in the league.
InexorableWaffle ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 04:50:45 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because they only had the ball for 23 minutes. I mean, they only ran 18 times, and they were gashing the Pats pretty damn well with their run game. Frankly, if anything I'd say that they would have been better served running the ball a little more and passing a little less towards the end.
This really just goes down to the way the Falcons defense is constructed, honestly. They're built to be a "Bend, don't break" defense, which works great against impatient and/or bad QBs - you force them to work down the field, and then bank on them trying to get overly aggressive or fucking up (like with Brady's pick-six this game). However, against a hyper-patient QB that has great accuracy (like Brady for 99% of this game), it won't work indefinitely. They'll work the ball down the field 5-7 yards at a time while wearing your defense down, and ultimately score most of the time
funkymunniez ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 06:24:48 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The problem for the Falcons defense didn't have much to do with Brady or the Pats playstyle...it was the fact that the Pats had more than double the number of offensive snaps the Falcons did. By the end of the game, they were gassed and unable to play like they did in the first half. Their constructed to win by playing fast and aggressive. Once they were tired and couldnt be fast anymore, that was it. The come back was on.
InexorableWaffle ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 06:35:35 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Which ties back directly to the Pats being able to dink and dunk down the field repeatedly. When you're routinely taking to ball down the field in 10-15 play drives, you're going to tire defenses out, much like we saw in this game.

Can NE even be considered a bandwagon at this point? They've been so consistently good for so long, even I welcome people who have converted to Patriots fans in the recent past. They like a good, hardworking team with a coach that is arguably just as GOAT as Tom Brady is. Even if the scandals are true, the team has proven again and again that they're likely the best football franchise in history.
Bandwagoning is becoming a fan of the team that is newly(ish) good. Like what people did with the Seahawks and the Falcons this year. Shit I'm from Dallas and people were even bandwagoning there this season.

Fuck Shanahan and his terrible play-calling in the fourth. Got the ball at the 20, time running down, field goal ends the game, Freeman has been killing it all game.
So you call a long dropback going for the endzone to give up a huge sack. I knew the game was over right there.
And then the last drive with 57 seconds left, where it looked like the checkdown in the middle of the field was the go-to read on each play.
Fucking hell.

Yep. My playbook in that situation: we're going 2 TEs, FB and RB, and we are splitting Julio out wide. Personally I just run it all 3 times and see if we can block it correctly and Freeman gets some good chunks. Only time I throw the ball is if I get a really good look with Julio for a quick fade route.
Still, run it 3 times, NE burns 2 timeouts. Kick the FG, go up 2 scores with less than 3 minutes on the clock.

They could have won it too if they just played it safe and went with 3 running plays while in field goal range. Instead they go with passing plays, get sacked, then a holding penalty to push them out of range. What a huge fuckup on calling those plays.

I don't think the defensive plan in the 4th was really wrong, though. You let the pats dink and dunk, but stop the deep ball and keep the clock running. Had they grabbed a FG anywhere, the pats would have run out of clock.

That 11-5 was still with Bill and a Pro Bowl QB though. Cassel even went to one with the Chiefs I think. Not to mention that was almost the exact same team that almost went 19-0, so it's not like they didn't have plenty of talent for Cassel to work with.
But yeah, take away Bill and Tom and it's an average team at best.

It should be a tug of war, like it is in college. Each team gets successive possessions until one team outdoes the other. So if team A gets possession first and gets a FG, team B gets a TD and wins, gets a FG and we repeat the process, or don't score and the game ends.

That seems like a bad idea to me. Football doesn't work that way. The team that possesses the ball first would still have a huge advantage, because they'd likely get more possessions. OT needs to be centered around possessions not time, IMO.

This is seriously flawed logic and if you can't see that you're a dumbfuck.
At the end of 4 quarters the score was tied. Both teams played equally for the totality of the game. Overtime rules should give both teams an equal shot.
The Falcons strength is their offense. They made the superbowl because they have a legit top 5 all time offense. But they lose the coin toss, and their strongest unit doesn't get a chance to take the field in overtime. the league MVP doesn't even get a fucking snap in overtime. Thats so fucked

A modified version. What I hate about college OT rules is that they get rid of kicks and punts and start you at the 25. That's barely football at that point.
But the idea of each team getting to trade possessions, definitely a good thing they need to adopt.

Really? Tottenham was right on Leicester's tail until the game against their rivals Chelsea. Chelsea, which had dramatically underperformed during the year, came back to draw with a couple minutes left with a goal from Hazard (the player of the season before, who this season had essentially been scoreless from months), giving Leicester the title. And to top it all off, Tottenham collapsed in the next two games, losing 5-1 on the final game of the season to a team already demoted to the Championship (second division), which ensured that their archrivals Arsenal would continue the tradition of finishing above them. If that's not an exciting end, I don't know what is.

He was honestly pissed after the game because he dropped a couple balls. He said "I could have played better, I could have played a LOT better". It's like that catch didn't even phase him, he was so caught up on those drops and missed balls by Brady.

What does 3-1 lead mean in NBA? Can't be points.
TheFrozenSlime ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 06:01:31 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The NBA Finals, like in the MLB and I believe NHL, is a best-of-7 series to determine the champion. A 3-1 lead means that by the 4th game, one team was one three games and lost only one, so they need to win one more game out of three to in, whereas the other team needs to win 3 in a row. The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA finals when they had the best record in NBA history and the unanimous league MVP.
hope this helps.

For putting himself in stupid situations. Don't you think he'd be kicked out the league if they "knew" it was rape?
And I'm not comparing the two accusations, but since Brady was suspended for Deflategate, that means he's guilty then, right?

_dkb ยท 554 points ยท Posted at 03:56:11 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
European here. This was literally my first time watching a whole game of football. I heard of Tom Brady, Patriots and Belichick but thats about it. So I was watching the game with a couple of buddies. One of them knows a lot more about the game and the teams, and prides himself on that fact. From the very beginning I was talking shit and saying Patriots would win it, pretending to know a lot more than I do. He was rooting for the Falcons. As the game is on the way and Falcons are dominating he was feeling quite secure in his superior knowledge of the game. Anyway, at 0 - 21, just before the half time, I predicted that Lady Gaga wouldn't lip sync and would be awesome, that Patriots would make an epic movie worthy comeback and win the game, and that Tom Brady would be the hero. His face as the game progressed was priceless and it made my first experience of football something special. I think he might have left actually believing I knew what I was talking about.
P.S. I also predicted that Tom Brady will be president one day. Make of that what you will.

About the Spurs... I don't know. I love Manu but I started watching NBA because of the Sixers and fell in love with the team. I'm probably masochist too.

Since you aren't from any NFL city you have a choice in teams! Wentz is ok but not as great as a lot thought he would be.
If you want to pick a team with a hopeful future, look no further than the Cleveland Browns.

This may be my favorite comeback of all time now, mainly because all the implications, but check out the Ravens-Pats game from a couple years ago. Fan-fucking-tastic performances.

In case y'all missed it:
The records that we're broken by the Patriots tonight:
First Super Bowl Game to go into OT.
Largest deficit to return and win the game in NFL history(previously 10, Patriots came back from 25 points).
Most Super Bowl wins by a Quarterback
Most Super Bowl wins by a head coach
Most Super Bowl MVP wins by a quarterback.

I grew up watching the end of the montana era along with young, elway, farve, aikman and marino. Being a kid, watching those guys i saw them larger than life. The older i got analysts, relatives, parents of my friends time and time again (usially) went back to montana as #1 with most of the others in the top group. In my teens came peyton and brady slowly climbing their way up but by then that awe and magic of being a kid seeing the best pros had faded. This was true of any sport, after all i grew up watching jordan and he's almsot unanimously considered the goat.
In my 20s i carried that in my mind montana was the greatest & most others of that era were in that top group ( along with those of past eras who i didnt get to watch) . Sure i saw manning & brady with that group but there was always a slight separation of sorts & always seemed to be a rational (ie the game had changed) that either couldn't reach #1 definitively.
I hadn't thought about it for yrs until i pressed myself to revisit it after the pateiots won the divisional round, went back and realized just how phenomenal and deserving of that #1 spot brady is.
Then there was today, cementing tom and dethroning my childhood hero.

Like him or not, we just witnessed the greatest quarterback of all time play the greatest Super Bowl of all time to make the greatest comeback of all time to break the record for most Super Bowls won. Mad respect
Edit: a couple of clarifications based on the comments:
"play the greatest super bowl of all time" meaning the best individual performance of all time in a super bowl (up for debate obviously), not that this was the greatest SB of all time
"greatest comeback of all time" in a SB
technically tied the record for most SBs won by an individual with Charles Haley

Like if they only lost in the superbowl in 2 of those years and missed the playoffs in the other 2 they were somehow better.

Same, I'm a Vikes fan til the death but I respect the hell out of the pats and I want to see them succeed, i get personal enjoyment out of it. Brady, Bill, and Mr. Kraft are righteous people and they operate like businessmen with pure class. I see so much Brady and patriot hate, but I can smell bullshit and I can smell jealousy and I naturally go against that evil shit. The media hates them and all the dirt you can have on them is either contrived propaganda or completely over blown. If you hate the Patriots, then it tells me what kind of person you are, what you align yourself with, what draws you.

You know, if you go back and look at Patriots games against really good teams over the past 3-4 years, more often than not, New England looks pretty terrible in the first half. Then they make adjustments at halftime while the other team just keeps doing what they've been doing, and NE crushes them.

Palchez ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:44:50 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's impressive he went to the super bowl with four different head coaches. None of which won it without him.
The Pats make everyone who plays QB for them look great. If Brady wants to move the barometer he needs to not retire a Pat. Or play a few years after BB retires. But, ideally he'd show he can win elsewhere. Since Montana played well with the chiefs, people can't just note Walsh and Rice and highlight Young as evidence of the organization's system.
swollenbluebalz ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:46:18 on February 10, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The things people want Brady to do to become GOAT, after winning 5 rings, going to 11 AFCCG, 6 straight, winning 25 post season games, he's supposed to switch teams. Even though the same 2001 "elite defense that carried Brady" was 5-11 without him in 2000 and 0-2 to start the season with Bledsoe. Though nobody brings that up because a stacked 2007 squad went 11-5 with a starter like Matt Cassel who was likely the best backup in the league.
Harden-Soul ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 03:37:16 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It is undeniable that Tom Brady is the greatest QB in history. Greatness is championships. Greatness is those moments when youre down 28-3 in the Super Bowl and no ones counting you out yet. Greatness is when youre drafted in the 6th round with little hope of ever earning a snap and turning it into 5 super bowl rings.
If you want to argue who can throw the ball the prettiest or who had the best stats, youre free to do so all day long. But Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in NFL history, and there is no argument otherwise.

They then score the touchdown to get them to 27, and ghost misses that XP try. We lose 28-27. Him having missed that first one put us in 2 pt try mode and took the game off Ghosts hands.

The problem with this is he needed that performance because he was so bad. Like, I wouldn't criticize them if he was great from bell to bell. But when you're part of the reason for the deficit, why do you get more credit for the comeback than if you hadn't needed the comeback in the first place?
Rockthecashbar ยท 29 points ยท Posted at 03:56:44 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because the great players don't give up. They rally the team and win the game. Remember last year with Cam Newton? He gave up.
dmkicksballs13 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:58:16 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's great. But how is never giving up because you fucked up seen as better than not fucking up? Like I'm not even trying to be a dick here. I just don't see the logic. Like per example. I think Rodgers had a far better performance in his Super Bowl because he was great literally the entire game. But I seriously doubt people wouldn't say Brady was better this game. $1,000 people are gonna call this the greatest performance of all-time.

CaptainSnazzypants ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 06:14:01 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Name one player who was amazing in every game and never fucked up. Not to mention Brady was not "horrible". He missed some throws but his receivers also dropped some balls, running back fumbled, defense was getting stomped, etc. There's a lot that went wrong in that first half, not just Brady. A lot went right in the second half, also not just Brady. But the way he picked up the offense and never gave up is commendable.
Mariusuiram ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:35:14 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Thinking back on the first half, Brady had maybe 2 or 3 pretty bad throws but otherwise mostly played to expectations for Brady. Not super-bowl GOAT Brady, but a good QB.
I agree that its not fair, if looking at just one game, to judge a turn around higher than a team that dominates throughout. Brady against the Steelers just crushed them from start to finish with no let down. By your metric, for a single game, thats a better performance. And sort of true in your narrower view of performance.
People arguing this game was special is based on the idea that, eventually every QB has a sub par half / quarter (sub par for their par). The question is does a sub par half always become a sub par game. For some QBs I'd say yes. If they arent "on", they won't be on all game. Only chance is if Defense or ST carries the team. What Brady did was go from a sub-par for 1 half to god-like in the 2nd half.
That transition and ability to adjust is a skill / talent that should be incorporated when judging a player overall. Which is what the discussion is really about. Even if in the context of this 1 game, yes, he only needed that skill BECAUSE of the first half.

On that note, the greatest comeback in Superbowl history automatically makes it the greatest comeback in NFL history. Sure there might have been a bigger comeback during the regular season, but it couldn't have meant more than this one. And 31 unanswered points is just insane in a Superbowl.

Agreed. He was mediocre. If it was during the regular season and they lost, the blame would have been mostly on the o-line and receivers. The pick-6 was awful but that was his one major mistake.

Ironically the Falcons did exactly what Seattle did. They passed the ball. That drive with 4 mins left on our 20 yard line. Just had to kill the clock and kick a field goal. Would've probs won them the game. Came down to bad clock management, terrible play-calling, and poor execution.
That said, they put up a real fight and if they won I would've been ok. The fact the pats came back was amazing and this will go down as one of the most thrilling superbowls of all time.

So we're just going to ignore Pats Giants 1, Steelers Cards, Seahawks Pats, Titans Rams? All to crown a game that ended 10 minutes ago?
This was a great game. And I'm glad you're able to objectively make the decision for the what's the best for everyone but the rest of us know that recency bias is a real thing and may wait to crown this the greatest game ever until we all sober up and can look at this objectively. Because I don't know if you're objectively wrong, but I know I'm not.

Those were great games like two fighters sizing each other up and strategically throwing blows in a slower, more calculated affair. This game was like a fucking Rocky movie where the Falcons just start wailing on them for one half, landing 100% of their punches in the gut and on the chin. Then the Pats get the eye of the tiger, take all that punishment, and turn the tide, landing blow after blow for the KO.

Yeah I'm not trying to say it wasn't a great game, and there is obviously some subjectivity to what a greatest game is. I just was more responding to the "objectively wrong" part, because it doesn't really make any sense. And in my opinion, it wasn't the greatest game ever, especially since it really wasn't exciting until the very end, while the others I mentioned were mostly close throughout and still had crazy finishes.
Not to take anything away from the Pats because that was impressive as shit, but I'll take 60 minutes of drama over 15 if both cases include down to the wire finishes as a neutral oberver.

Nah this game was way more memorable. That game was fine, but you see back and forths all the time in the playoffs, super bowl and regular season.
This was I believe tied for the 5th biggest comeback ever in the NFL. There have only been a couple remotely comparable games this century, and neither of them was in the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.
Edit: Both games suffer from the same problem though which is that the underdog lost. Nobody outside of Boston and Pittsburgh wants to watch either of those teams win a-fucking-nother championship

I'm glad a non-steelers fan said it first. With the the full context and stories and the comeback, this will go down as the best game. But 43 was the best game when context is taken out.

Yes but this had the greatest comeback of all time and in order for a comeback to happen one team needs to be down big. You can argue that other Super Bowls were more enjoyable for you personally, that's subjective, but this will go down as the most memorable Super Bowl of all time. That's the only somewhat objective metric I can think of for 'super bowl greatness'. The first half was a stinker but if you watched the whole thing you saw something that will get more replay and historical analysis than any super bowl before it, and likely any for some time.

With under 10 mins left to play in the 4th quarter, the Falcons had a 99.4% probability of winning.

The comeback was awesome, but overtime is absolutely idiotic. Sudden death in a game like football is dumb enough. But then deciding possession by a coin toss is even worse. That coin toss provided a MASSIVE advantage.
I'm not saying the patriots didn't deserve to win, or the falcon didn't deserve to lose, but I am saying that a fucking coin toss helped decide the outcome of a championship game, and that is pretty damn stupid.

Not likely, but it doesn't really matter since we'll never know.
There's no denying that the Patriots deserved the win, and the Falcons deserved to lose. I just think it's a really stupid concept for overtime that provided a massive benefit to the winner of a coin toss. It should never be that way.

I'm not saying one is better than the other, but i watched both. I'd rather watch the Steelers Cardinals game again.

It was a one-sided game where one team played terribly the whole way; they just switched which team was the one playing terribly during the second half. Extraordinary comeback, but I definitely wouldn't call it the best Super Bowl. There was none of the back and forth you need to maintain tension.

Really? Is that the excuse now? What about the falcons letting how many unanswered points again? They choked plain and simple, don't blame it on OT rules.

The OT rules are still garbage. Both teams should have a chance.
Nikolai25000 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:52:12 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
They aren't perfect but if you want to win, then come to play and stop them. Do something about it, you even get a second chance if the other team gets a bs penalty then a FG. If the other team shows up and drives on your ass 80 yards with you doing nothing to stop them, maybe you deserve to lose?
oscarony ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:17:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That still makes no sense though. Both teams should have the chance to put their offense on the field, it shouldn't be affected by a fucking coin toss.
Like if the Falcons won the coin toss there's a 65% chance they win the game. That's a terrible rule.

It wasnt decided by a coin toss. It was decided by the Patriots being the better team and scoring a TD when they needed to, something the Falcons couldnt do.

But the Falcons didn't have a chance to score in OT. NFL OT rules are archaic
UgliestGuyEver ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:08:29 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes because the Patriots were the better team and drove down the field and scored a TD. If the Falcons didn't let them score so eaily, they would've had a chance. It's their own fault. The coin toss only decides who gets the ball first. It's up to whoever is the better team to either score a TD or stop the other team from scoring a TD. OT rules are perfect the way they are. They arent archaic either. These rules are actually upgraded. Archaic would be giving the victory to any team that scores even a field goal first. That's how it used to be. Did you just start watching football last year?
CarlDaWombat ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 04:10:16 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So if the Falcons were the ones who got lucky with the toss and they scored would they magically become the better team, or is it just a case that both offenses were better than the defenses tonight?
UgliestGuyEver ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:19:37 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's a team game. It requires you to play both offense and defense. The Falcons couldn't stop the Pats from scoring a TD. They didn't deserve to win. If the Falcons got the ball and the Pats defense couldn't stop them, then the Pats didnt deserve to win. So yes, whoever wins is the better team.

If the Falcons won the toss and then scored, they would have won. It WAS decided by a coin toss.
pridetwo ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 03:55:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If the falcons won the toss it's still possible they don't score. And it was possible that the Pats didn't score on the first drive of OT. It was no guarantee the team that wins the toss wins the game, both had gone 3-and-out several times already.
It wasn't decided by the coin toss, it was decided by the Falcons defense.

You're kind of an idiot. The coin toss only decides who gets the ball first. Its up to whoever is the better team to either score a TD or stop the other team from scoring a TD.
oggusfoo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:40:10 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even when it was sudden death, the receiving team had to move it 30+ yards to get into field goal range. And, anything is better than CFB. "Here's this game we play for 60 minutes and if the teams are tied we're going to play a completely different game for an unlimited amount of time until someone scores differently than the other team."

Overtime stats show that the coin flip doesn't matter. teams win on either side of the flip approx 50% of the time under the current rules. You cant get more balanced than that.

funkymunniez ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:38:54 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
it means that the OT rules are just fine. The team that wins the coin toss has zero advantage to win. When they changed the rule that a FG cannot finish the game, teams that lose the coin toss have a 50% chance at winning based on all the over time outcomes to date.

I actually thought the patriots last win vs the Seahawks was the best Super Bowl ever. It had drama throughout. The game was close. The game came down to the last play.
Yes this one became close, but so much of the game was one-sided. Additionally I think the OT rules should be changed for the Super Bowl. Winning the coin toss is such a huge advantage. Just for the Super Bowl, they should have to play a full quarter. Give both sides a fair shot on offense and defense. But that's just my opinion.

Yup, they'll do anything to win points and pander to people. Who are these horrible people that are going to say all this shit to his daughter, seriously? Where are they? We're literally making shit up at this point. Maybe we should talk about gas emissions or the loss of domestic factory jobs there Audi?

The greatest smartest move was to remove blount from the game !! I felt super happy after that move. Running game imrpoved by leaps and bounds. Made brady more comfortable throwing on 2nd and 3rd downs.

Well the running game didn't improve all that much once Blount went out, but with our passing backs in there they gasp started passing more which was very productive.

I keep saying that but they do.
Every time I think the other team can't piss away the win and every time the Pats get a big break on some crazy mistake the other team makes.
Kudos to them for taking advantage, but its just insane how it always breaks their way and the other team either collapses or does something absolutely batshit stupid to put New England back in it.

drugssuck ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 03:49:07 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Then other QBs should follow his lead if they want rings too. If you want a ring take 15 a year instead of 21 and you might be able to sign someone that can make a difference.
ntourloukis ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 03:53:48 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Also, long term, Brady can probably turn his success into more money than his salary would be. I don't know when this success caps off, but winning 5 superbowls makes him a sports legend for life. He can get advertisement deals forever. If he had never won one, he'd fade into obscurity in 15-20 years.
But more to the point, Brady isn't massively underpaid like this myth says. He has been the highest paid player in the league, but then gets outdone by someone's contract the next year. He restructures everything to be favorable for the team, but they're paying him his market value if not slightly less.
drugssuck ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 04:03:01 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But that's the thing I think if it came down to it Brady would take less money if he thought it'd benefit the team. Some people know when to bite the bullet. If they care about rings compared to money.

Deflategate was basically propaganda on the NFL's part and many people on this sub still believe in it. The Patriots are pure class in every sense of the word, they conduct themselves like businessmen, especially Brady, Bill, and Robert.

This was a game to watch if you are a football fan. The Falcons came to play tonight. Unfortunately for them, so did Belichick and Brady. The Falcons made their point about how much they wanted this thing and what they were willing to do to take it. But at the end of the day, they were pawns in the 6D chess match that Belichick was playing against himself.

From a neutral perspective, what a great game to watch!
This was definitely a Super Bowl that experience mattered more than talent. Atlanta played great to build a big lead but seemed to start celebrating too early and didn't have that killer instinct to keep going for the throat.
If New England had been the one with a 25 point lead, they'd have ended up winning by 40 points. Call them the evil empire if you must, but they absolutely know how to close games out.

The balls that Brady used in a game were VERY slightly under inflated, which basic physics can prove can happen under certain field conditions. (This was a rule that was not enforced/regulated, and the balls are even provided by the NFL.) And Goodell tried to suspend the Patriots for it. This suspension was originally overruled, but Goodell kept pressing and going to media trying to smear Tom Brady and the Patriots. Goodell, being the Judge, Jury, and Executioner as Commissioner, decides to suspend Brady for $1mil and a quarter of the season. This is just the latest of bullshit powertripping we've seen from him.
As a patriots fan, this entire season had a certain motivation to it, just to stick it Goodell. This was a satisfying victory.

That shit haunts me to this day, and ain't none of you assholes ever going to let us live it down (not should you). Having to deal with that shit for years without another SB win, only to lose to them AGAIN... christ. Those were dark times in my house.

Dark times? dark times?
Please, please tell me about how having to witness your team go 18-1 was so painful and heartbreaking. I'm sure you cry yourself to sleep into your
fourfive Super Bowl Champions blankets every night. I'm sure you have to wear a paper bag over your head when you go to games because no one can ever dare know that you are a New England Patriots fan.Fuck watching my team go 0-16. Fuck watching my team implode week after week, year after year, and fuck never, not once, in my entire life, seeing my team win a playoff win. The only real pain is watching your team blow an undefeated season. Oh the pain, oh the agony.by the way, I'm not actually this salty, it's all in good fun.

But actually, all of us older NE and Boston sports fans know this feeling well, watching the Pats go for years with 1-15, 2-14, and the like; Red Sox choking in the ALCS and WSJ year after year. We know pain as much as anyone.

More like Billionaire who lost everything talking to the homeless. Two very different scenarios, and I doubt either fandom will ever understand the other. But honestly 18-1 is brutal. UNless you are the Bears and won a superbowl at 18-1, then its pretty legit. But otherwise, it fucking blows. Indescribably. Just a different kind of suck than 0-16. But still very painful none the less

Yeah it is worse. Losing for anyone sucks, but losing in the Super Bowl is the worst loss(do you think any other playoff team feels worse than the Falcons right now?), and 18-1 is even worse. The Pats losing to the Jets in the first round was bad, but not nearly as bad as 18-1.

When your team has made 50% of super bowls in the last 14 years, you know they will make it back and losing an individual one doesn't matter at all. Compared to teams that will probably never witness their team win a super bowl in their life time.

Don't we all. Ive been saying for years that it isn't so much that the Patriots "beat you" but rather you just "lose to them."The Patriots didn't beat the Falcons in that sense. Rather, the Falcons blew their lead, shot themselves in the foot with holding penalties at the wrong time in the game, and made incredibly stupid play calls in the 4th quarter (stay in field goal range). Sure, it took Brady's offense to come back, but you'll see more often than not the Patriots opponents capitulate extremely often. The Pats have the discipline to take advantage of the capitulation which is why they are a dynasty. But I don't think they are actually as good as people think. The problem has always been with self-capitulation, penalties, dumb coaching mistakes, bad clock management, and some unfortunate/lucky breaks that gives the Patriots the edge in the end.
They just routinely capitalize on mistakes. You have a team like ATL that just rolls them in the first half because ATL wasn't making mistakes. The Patriots got outplayed, so they are certainly not the best team imo, but they capitalize on their opponents self-capitulation more often than everyone else, so it seems like they are always in the right place at the right time and always end up holding the trophy in the end.
That is how I will remember the Pats and Bellicheck; not necessarily lucky, but actually that they finish games against teams that just can't. It's just downright annoying at this point that it seems like everyone just gives it to them. Credit to the Pats as always, but there is a narrative here of self-capitulation that very rarely gets mentioned.
TLDR: I'll remember the Pats for being their best when their opponents are at their worst. It's not really a compliment. And it's why that Pats are a love/hate type of team.
k5berry ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 05:06:31 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You might get flamed for this, but I get exactly what you're saying. SB 39: Eagles completely blow their clock management. SB 49: Malcolm Butler makes an amazing interception to win it on a very questionable play call. SB 51: Atlanta's offensive playcalling COMPLETELY shits the bed, New England offense is unstoppable. You just can not make a mistake when you play New England. When Atlanta got the ball back after New England made it 28-20 and they made a huge play to the 40 yard line, I said "in these situations, you can usually tell, when the offense of the choking team comes out like that, you generally lose hope the other team's gonna complete the come back." But then they have the ball at the freaking twenty and lose 23 yards. Boom, New England catches fire.
Don_Julio_Acolyte ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:36:39 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah I'm not really digging at the Patriots, but more I'm trying to sober them down a bit. They are so beatable, ATLs #1 offense showed how vulnerable they are in those first 30 minutes. The fact that they are a dynasty isn't due to them totally out-playing and dominating their opposition (there are a couple seasons that argument could be made for however), but they just finish games while their opposition routinely goes into an amateur-hour sort of spell on both a playing and coaching standpoint when the game is on the line.
For die hard Pats fans, I'm sure they would crucify this post by saying I'm not giving BB or TB their due. No I get it lol. They are the best. But there is zero doubt that the Pats were rarely the "best fielded" team in the league on any given year (again that argument can only be made a couple times). They could just finish games and their opposition always seems to leave the door open in an inviting manner. Don't think I've ever seen a better team play the Pats at 100% for 60 minutes. They always seem to blow it. Credit to the Pats for capitalizing on those moments. That's where Brady is for me. He's a poacher. He's best when his opposition is on their heels, and my view is that usually occurs due to a self-inflicted wound. ATL lost the super bowl last night. Anyone can say the Pats won it, but that isn't the game I saw. I think there is a distinction between a team losing to the Pats and the Pats winning on their own and its that distinction as to why the Pats are love/hate.

european here, can someone explain why falcons didn't go for a seemingly secure field goal when they were around the 20 yard line during their last drive? wouldn't an 11 point lead at this point essentially mean the game is over >99% of the time?
it seems like they were going through a lot of unnecessary risk attempting a touchdown 3 times (risking interception or getting pushed back) for a - considering the circumstances - very small reward (15 vs 11 pts lead). i'm assuming we are wrong, can someone tell me why?

It wouldn't have been smart to kick the field goal before fourth down. Having said that, some questionable play calling on second and third down. Probably would have been best to run it up the middle, and if they didn't get a first down, kick the field goal from the 20.
POGtastic ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 03:58:17 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
In general, you only go for field goals on 4th down.
That still doesn't explain why they decided to pass the ball and got a sack and a penalty. They should have just done up-the-middle runs for a couple of yards and kicked a long-ish field goal.

It's just very unorthodox to go for a FG if it's not 4th down.

Man, no one has given you the right answer.
Just consider this - the Patriot's kicker missed a much easier kick earlier in this very game. The Falcons had a 1st down in range of a field goal, but that's no guarantee that they'll make it. The closer they get, the better. But the Patriot's did their jobs and pushed the Falcons back - which was quite unlikely.

The best explanation I could hope to give you is that it makes sense to try to remove more time from the game clock before attempting the field goal, but what no one can explain is the decision to pass instead of taking the safer option of running the ball.

Nothing you said was wrong. The only reasonable answer is inexperience and hubris. All you need to do is take a couple runs and tell your RB to get his knee down if there's any contact and you win. It was a colossal failure in play calling and coaching, which is why football is the greatest sport in my mind - every single play is a coaching decision and game plan decision.

The play call was though you run their you win the game and go up another possession. He had a chance to cement himself among the greats in the game and instead he will be known as the man who lost a 28-3 lead. You score once on any of those drives and you win the game but he didn't and got sacked to kill one drive and fumbled to kill another.

I can't decide which is worse, our 43-8 loss (or 55-10 really) where we were never in the game or the Falcons dominating to a 28-3 lead and then blowing it.
Both are awful, but I think I'd rather just get blown out by a better team than have my dreams smashed by Tom Brady.

I agree, which is why I wouldn't like it to be the football equivalent to a shootout by going from the offensive side of the field automatically. But full field? I don't see why not. It's a possession based sport, like baseball. Any extra time should mean offense gets equal number of possessions.
abacuz4 ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 03:41:03 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That might give a pretty big advantage to the team with the ball second, as you'd have better field position on average and know how many points you'd need. Just straight college rules would be fine. Maybe move the ball back to the 40 or something if you really need to.
bmacnz ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 03:44:25 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Then perhaps just forego punts and do kickoffs, or assume a touchback kickoff. I still think you should go the length of the field, not just get a few yards and a field goal.

Regardless of how much a team bottles it in normal time, it's silly that luck of the coin toss is what can get you the win. Just play an extra quarter.

I'd imagine a con would be something like blowing out your ACL while down 14 points with a minute left in an OT game between two teams with a combined record of 4-24.
That scenario obviously [edit:]
wouldn't bewould be less of a factor were the NFL to change rules for something like playoff games only.I'd think the argument here is more about how those changes might effect how integral the concept of field position, and subsequently special teams, are to the game and its outcome.

New Englands D did have to try all second half long and specifically in the 4th QT. If falcons score a td or even a fg on any of their drives in the 4th qt patriots offense doesn't have a "try" at tieing/ winning the game.

And they still lead most of the game up until they tied while the Pats were trailing most of the game and played poorly in the first half. So by your logic, if the Pats didn't get a chance at a drive in OT it's because they played poorly in the first half even though they picked it up in the second.

Yes we got dicked the second half, but we dicked them the first half. So why after a full game of football, should only one team get a chance with the ball. It is inherently unfair, no matter which way it goes, for the game to be over after one touchdown. That would be like if the Extra innings rule in baseball was that the first team to score a run wins. In the end, if both teams end a game evenly matched in a tie, why should only one team be given the chance to score.

That doesn't solve the problem though. What if down the road there are two teams who had a close game throughout the super bowl, but then it comes down to a coin toss. Sure Falcons blew it in the end, but it was still tied and they deserve a fair chance not a 50/50.

That argument is stupid. Both teams scored an equal number of points during a 60 minute game. They deserve to go into overtime with an equal chance of winning. It's absurd that a coin toss can sway the odds so heavily of the outcome of a SB OT game.
Edit:
I've heard three main arguments for why NFL overtime is fair, all of which make no sense.
Obviously winning the coin toss doesn't mean you automatically win the game, but you can't deny it gives the winner a huge advantage. Why should any team get an advantage in Superbowl overtime?
I've been hearing this argument after every overtime game I can remember. How can anybody reasonably argue that it's just as easy to make a defensive stop AND score as it is to just score?
It doesn't matter how or when they scored their points. Both teams had 60 minutes to score as many points as they can, and both scored 28. Since they performed equally in regular time, they should both have an equal chance in overtime.

Problem is injuries. The longer games go on, the likeliness of injuries because of how tired they are and how much they're pushing their bodies and the force of each hit.
There's only been 86 playoff games since the new rules, of which 25 of those games ended on the first possession (with 2 of those being defensive wins). That means, 61 games (or 71% of the time) both sides got to possess the ball at least once.
There's nothing wrong. It's just that most people wanted the Falcons to win. So of course people are going to bitch about it.

College is halfway to a great system but falls far too short. Getting rid of kickoffs, punts, and starting at the 25 is not even football anymore.
That said, the general idea of giving each team an equal chance is good. NFL should adopt that part.

I think the problem is that you can technically complain about these rules at any time. These rules were well known to be stupid long before the Superbowl, but most people are only going to complain about it shortly after the game, which simply takes away some of the prestige of the winning team when people are more focused on bitching about them having won off shitty rules than just acknowledging they won.

But, the rules are fair.
It's highly unlikely that the first possession wins the game.
Out of the 86 overtime games played since 2012, only 25 of them have ended on the first possession (with 2 of them being defensive TDs). Meaning 71% of the time or 61 games, both teams got to possess the ball.
People just wanted to see if Atlanta could get one more drive, even though they failed 3x (4 if you count the very last drive with 55 seconds) to score even a FG to ice the game.
In fact, if I were a coach, depending on the situation, it would be smarter to receive the ball then go first. Because a FG wins the game for the team that possess it second. And teams have done that before as well.

To help your point: The coin toss gives a huge advantage as one team has the first chance to score first which isn't really fair.
The overtime situation doesn't tell us who scored more points than the other. It tells us who scored first with a massive advantage in a sport that favors offenses.

You can deny it gives the winner a huge advantage, because statistically it doesn't. The old rule (field goal wins on the first possession) did, which is why they changed it to this.
Essentially the advantage of a touchdown immediately ending it is offset by the increased chance your opponent can win it immediately (because a field goal is also an option for them).
Unraveller ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 05:07:11 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Winning the coin toss does not give a huge advantage,. It offers a 3% advantage. Winner has a 53% chance to win the game.
A simple Google search would have shown you this.
bewareoftraps ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 06:38:40 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How about this, if you have a bad defense, you should be penalized for that. Likewise, if you have a bad offense, you should be penalized for that as well.
Yes, the old rules were really bad, with a FG winning the game. But pointing to college and saying that's better, doesn't make your argument better. At the speed and how worn out their bodies get as time continues, you're going to get more injuries.
Then you're just going to have a game of who can last longer in scoring, if both sides have "unstoppable offenses" and get to start at the red zone.
Honestly, people want defensive games, but they also want offensive shootouts.
And are we ignoring the fact that Atlanta had pretty much 3 possessions in the end (not counting the last possession with like a minute left), and a FG would've iced the game.
First drive at the end, -10 yards (NE 41 to Atl 49, after a failed onside kick)
Second drive, 9 yards (Atl 27 to Atl 36)
Third drive, 45 yards (Atl 10 to NE 45)
And if you really wanted to, their 4th and final drive (55 seconds and no TOs) then net 16 yards.
Regardless, let's say in a hypothetical example if both teams were scoring left and right, and then it's "down to a coin toss" then you should be penalized for having a bad defense. If you're only an offense or a only a defense, then you shouldn't have rules bent towards your favor in any way.
I feel like, people just wanted to see if Atlanta could pull one more drive, even though they had done nothing in the past 3 (or 4 if you want to count the last drive).
I don't think there's anything wrong with these rules. Because people just believe that any offense can march down the field and get a TD because they see someone like BRADY do that. And I'm like, fucking if Brees could do what Brady did, we probably win a lot more games. Face it, there aren't many QBs who can drive 75 yards to win a game with a defense knowing that you're only going to pass.
But it's more likely that the first team who gets the ball will more than likely punt, and then the second team just has to get to the opponent's 33 yard line for a 40 yard FG.
Since 2012, 86 OT games have been played including playoffs.
Of which 25 games ended with a TD. 5 ended in ties, and 56 games ended with a FG.
Meaning, 71% of the time, both teams get possession.

The question you asked in your comment was "Are you seriously going to argue that making a defensive stop and then scoring is just as easy as only needing to score?"
I believe the way the overtime rules work in the NFL is that if the receiving team only scores a FG, then the kicking team gets a chance to match with their own FG or win with a touchdown.
So I would argue that depending on the matchup of offenses, special teams, and defenses (and conditions) it might be easier for the kicking team to win. They can get a stop and win with a FG, which may or may not be harder than scoring the initial touchdown.
I am not against trying out college overtime rules in the NFL. They do sound more fair, but I rarely watch college games so I will have to take your word on how they work out in practice.

The team to go 2nd has more information. The 1st doesn't know whether it needs a FG or a TD, the 2nd team does.
Hatewrecked ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:18:05 on February 8, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That doesn't put them at an advantage, the 2nd team doesn't even know if they're gonna get the chance to touch the ball.
I'll put it this way. If it's fair then why do you never see OT coin toss winners defer? And how come the home crowd cheers when they win the coin toss in OT?
LnGrrrR ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:25:13 on February 8, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, I mean if each team got a chance to touch the ball regardless, the 2nd team would know whether or not they would need to a TD or could settle for a FG.
And I don't think it's fair. But I don't think there is a "fair" way to do it in football, where offense and defense are so strictly defined. You would likely need another full quarter, because even a 5 or 10 min overtime could be greatly affected by a 7 or 8 min drive.

Yeah, for the record I think it's a dumb rule too. I just have a very hard time believing it decided the game when the Falcons had every chance in the world to end it. They allowed two 2 point conversions, let Matt Ryan get sacked out of FG range (led to a punt), turned the ball over (led to a Patriots TD), had possession with 1 min left in the 4th Q and didn't score, committed a PI on Bennett in OT to bring the Patriots 1st and a few yards.

Because if they make the stop they only have to kick a FG which essentially shortens the field by ~30-40 yards. IF you make that first stop, your chances of winning go up astronomically.
The biggest issue with the Pats winning the toss in this game is that the atlanta defense was gassed by the end of the game and losing the toss meant they had to stay out on the field even longer. They were noticeably slower to the ball.

The actual argument goes something like this:
First team gets a chance to score. They don't know what the reply will be, so they need to go for the TD, risking turnovers. The second team can stop at the 35 yard line and kick to win.
Really though, the rules should either be a time period (15 minutes, 4th Q timing rules) or first touchdown, with the second team to possess always getting the right of reply.

It's not fair, but it's not really designed to be fair. Professional football is hazardous. Playing professional football while tired is extremely hazardous. Overtime rules are designed to find a winner in the quickest time possible. I agree that it penalizes the team that doesn't get the ball first, and should be changed accordingly. But it's moving in right direction at least.

I don't hate the new rules. Much better than the old rules where a FG wins. That was much much more dependent on the coin toss.

Well look what might have happened had Atlanta won the toss.
Their offence had only managed 7 points in the second half so I think they would not have scored a touchdown on their opening drive (at least they were less likely to have).
Meanwhile the Atlanta defense looked gassed by the end of the 4th and didn't show any change in overtime.
My point is that if the outcome of the coin toss were different I think the outcome of the game would still be the same.
hatt555 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 09:25:36 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Eh, personally I think it is fair. The first team can only score a touchdown to win, and statistically a TD and punt aren't that far off. If you punt, I'll assume similar field position as a kick off - often if forced to punt quickly u could be giving away worse field position though. Because the second team can then score a field goal to win, they aren't forced to pressure for the last 30ish yards to confirm a touchdown, yards where there is serious risk for a turnover, or just being forced to kick a field goal, on which case both teams get equal chance to win. As such, receiving might not always be the best choice - if you trust your defense, securing field position and then going for a field goal could be easier. People only assume receiving is superior because they see offense as being in control of their fate, the driving force. In reality, offense and defense control their fates equally, and therefore the NFL overtime is indeed fair.

Being butt hurt doesn't mean you change the rules so they basically play an entirely new "start at zero" game and call it OT. The fact is the coin toss is psychological. It's PART of what makes it hard.

I would agree with you when the rule used to be a field goal to win. It was too stupid and I felt like whoever won the toss was heavily favored to win. Now I'm not so sure... a TD drive isn't assured to anyone. Even the pats got help last night w/ that PI call. I'm not questioning the call but who knows if they actually punch it in w/o that call.

If you kick the ball to them and stop them before they cross the 40 you get the ball with much better starting field position. Also your defence gets the chance to make an interception or force a fumble which allows you to just kick a field goal to win.

It's also about stopping the other team. I hear defense is a part of the game.
A coin toss determines who gets the ball first. They still play the game and stops need to get made if you want to win.
If each team having an equal number of possessions is fair, then why bother with kick offs? Just play the college play off system but play it for the whole game.
You need to balance fairness and the fun of unpredictability. If Atlanta can force a turnover or make a good stop, they have a significant advantage now.
Hatewrecked ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 08:41:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Are you going to argue that making a defensive stop and kicking a field goal is just as easy as simply scoring a touchdown? The team which loses the coin flip is at an immediate disadvantage.
If I went through every OT game since the rule change a few years ago, do you think winning the coin toss would have a correlation to winning the game?
MikeyNg ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 09:25:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Correlation is not causation.
I don't know why you think scoring a TD is so easy. For nearly 3 quarters, Brady couldn't score a TD. Yet, your argument appears to be that getting the ball = TD.
The Patriots punted 4 times and scored 4 TDs in the Super Bowl. The Falcons punted 4 times and scored 3 Offensive TDs. So yes, I would argue that forcing a team to punt is just about as likely as scoring a TD.
In fact, the Patriots were in 4 down territory for the entire Q4 and then some. So they were even less likely to punt in the game. So - I don't know why you think getting the ball is an automatic TD.
Were the Falcons at an immediate disadvantage from the coin flip? yes - their D was gassed. But that's part of the game also.
I don't know what type of solution you're looking for. If you're looking for fair, then we should go to college OT rules. But then, why even play the first four quarters? Just give each team 6 possessions on the opponent's 25 yard line. That would be the most fair, wouldn't it?
I find sudden death OT to be terrific and exciting. Any play can tip the game - a fumble, interception, or a big run, and it's over. Every single play is important. That's football. You can lose on a kick off return. Is that fair??? You can lose from missing a PAT. Is that fair?

While I agree the OT rules need to be revised so both offenses get a shot to score...The falcons defense (who supposedly is the best defense in the league) let the pats walk all over them and failed to stop 31 points from being scored on them. They fucked up, the pats took a fat dump on their lives, and the OT rules need to be revised.

I'm not a football person. So let me get that out of the way.
How would you expect it to work? To just continue the game? Yes, that would be an uninterrupted continuation of the game. But how is that anymore fair than flipping a coin like at the start of the game?
You're into sudden death. Next score wins. The absolute fairest method of handling that situation would be to start from scratch. A continuation could be called unfair because you're extending beyond regulation playtime from what should be over with.
I say the coin toss was the fairest way to handle 2 teams that have identical points after regulation time. Either side has a 50/50 chance. I mean they could of fought for the ball at the 50 yard line like in basketball.
I have no care over which team would of won. Physical sports aren't my things. But I have no doubt in my mind that after seeing the momentum the Patriots were carrying, that no matter how it was handled or who won the coin toss it would of ended the exact same way.

And, more importantly, you knew that Matt Ryan wouldn't have a chance to answer if Brady scored a TD. That's the problem, pal.
The team which wins the coin toss has a higher probability to win. This is a literal fact.
I won't. You're completely irrelevant to the equation.

Both teams had an equal number of points at the end of regulation, though. This "they blew the lead" nonsense is bullshit.
The NFL should take influence from college football, a league where both teams are allowed the chance to possess the ball in overtime. It works better and makes games more fair and exciting.

The game came down to the falcons not having an answer for Brady. Sure the Pats could've lost the toss and still been in the same position to defend against ATL. There's offense and defense that make up a championship team. (see the patriots)
Hatewrecked ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 08:44:18 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But the defensive team is at a disadvantage -- they have to produce a 4th down or a turnover and then score. The offensive team merely has to score a TD to win.
I don't know why you even deny this. Do you think teams which win the coin toss have a higher likelihood of winning the game? I can go check the numbers after I get an answer.

With the current rules of the coin toss Atlanta had a chance if they won the flip. Because the Atlanta defense was done. While the patriots defense had improved massively from the first half. But the Atlanta offense might have been able to score a TD on the drive an win.
But if you give each team a shot, the patriots win. Atlanta was garbage since after the 4th and they would have been ran over. So the sudden death coin flip victory might have saved Atlanta from their gigantic throw.

Because the Falcons didn't force them to. Why is offense more important than defense? They're equal parts of a team. If your defense isn't good enough to stop a team in the most important drive of your season then maybe you don't deserve to win.

Did the falcons have a chance to score in overtime though?
That ^ destroys your point. They were tied at end of regulation. One team had the opportunity to score first and end the game. The other team did not have that opportunity. That's why people are pissed/annoyed.
I'm not bitching about it because that's the agreed upon rules before you take the coin toss and if you don't like it, it should have been dealt with well before the game even started, but you have to admit the fact that the patriots had an opportunity the falcons did not have, based entirely on chance.
Likewise if the falcons had won and scored on first possession, the pats would not have had the opportunity to score first and win.
But yeah, those are the rules so haters can stfu... but I'd be super open to changing the overtime rules to make sure equal opportunity is had by both teams.

not watching football doesnt make you more objective or give any more credibility to your opinion. its just as meaningless as everyone here, including mine. its just funny you mentioned you dont watch football and then gave your opinion on the rules of football like you're objective about it.
its just salt. its a bunch of crybabies and salty people. No one complained when the rules were announced at the beginning of he OT period. No complaining like this during the regular season or postseason. Just now when the team loses after choking a 28-3 lead.
It's not one sided at all. One team gets offense. One team gets defense. Each time has the ability to control the outcome. Atlanta can play good defense and not allow NE to score. Did they do that? No they didn't. They lost the game. And now people want to cry about the rules. It's always something to whine about so their team doesnt have to be accountable for losing. "its not fair its not fair" blah blah blah whine whine whine. You can keep crying about it if you wan, but in a couple days you won't give a shit anymore.

Or on offense with a couple minutes left don't take a sack and a holding penalty to go out of field goal range. A field goal with ~6 minutes left would have put it out of reach.

The game was decided by two two point conversions in the fourth quarter. Or a sack followed by a holding penalty to knock the Falcons out of field goal range in the fourth when they had a chance to end the comeback.
Or by allowing a 28-3 lead to be pissed away.
Could overtime rules use some work? Sure. But the fact of the matter is the high flying Atlanta offense only put up 14 points without turnovers, and couldn't move the ball at all in the second half.

Not the way it's done in all other levels of football and other sports. Both sides should be given a chance. Atlanta gets the ball and fails on offense then Pats win. That is both teams getting a chance.
It is ALWAYS going to be a debated set up. I never see debate about other overtime rules in other sports.
Scrogger19 ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 03:45:19 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And the Patriots defense, which allowed the exact same amount of points but earlier in the game, played better?
Both teams scored the exact same amount of points, regardless of who's were more recent. Sure the Falcons definitely should've closed it out. But the Patriots also shouldn't have let them get ahead by 25. Both teams had a good and bad half, the only difference is the Falcons was in the second half.

Vega5Star ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 03:41:33 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It doesn't matter. There have been great defensive teams and great offensive teams that have won the Superbowl. You have to be the best team at both sides of the ball.
Atlanta had a historically good offense this season, but if you can't play defense you can't beat Tom Brady.
papabubadiop ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 12:46:49 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So if its a tie, and you win the toss, you win the game if your attack preforms well and scores a TD, but if you lose the toss you are expected to have a good defence and THEN go on to score when you have the ball? Surely it always favours the team who wins the toss?
Vega5Star ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:04:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, it depends entirely on how good your offense or defense is. There have been teams who have elected to kick and won OT because they were confident their defense could hold the opposing team to a field goal. Also, if you score on defense you win automatically. People are acting like NFL teams can't get stops or turnovers. The Falcons scored a TD on an interception earlier in the game.
The only way the Patriots could win on the first drive is with a touchdown. If they scored only a FG, they'd have to play defense.
papabubadiop ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:08:48 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I understand all of your points, but I still don't understand how the Falcons aren't given the football after the Pats TD, with at least the chance to score one. The game last night was decided by half of both teams which seems ridiculous to me.
Vega5Star ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:17:41 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The Falcons would have gotten the ball if the Patriots scored a FG or less. A touchdown ends the game.
Think about it like this, regardless of whether the Falcons scored or not, the game would always be decided by half of a team, because it's sudden death after that. There's always an odd number that leads to a receiving team's victory. They can't just keep playing back and forth all night, otherwise you'd end up with 5OT games like in College Football.
papabubadiop ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:35:37 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I dunno man, I watch soccer and the very occasional time that it goes to extra time and then penalties and THEN sudden death in penalties, if you take the first pen, your opponents gets the chance to draw it up. If you miss, fair enough, the game is over and you lose but at least you have the opportunity.
It just feels wrong to have a game decided by half a team. The coin toss should have no bearing on the result of the game and judging by peoples comments and Google search, the winners of the coin toss have a slight statistical advantage.
Vega5Star ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:48:07 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I might be slightly biased because I've watched a significant amount of NFL football where the OT rules were pure sudden death, any scoring wins and not these revamped rules. So to me, I see it as an adequate enough improvement and I'm happy with it, but other people would like to see it changed more.
I'm not going to pretend I have the 100% objectively right answer on it.

Ya but your exact same logic applies to the pats in the first half... they shouldn't have given up so many unanswered points. And now we're back to the coin toss giving an unequal opportunity to one team based on chance. Doesn't make sense, and your argument doesn't hold water.

I agree. At least give the other team a chance to posses and score a touchdown to counter. What if the falcons won the toss and scored a touchdown? Basically comes down to a coin toss which is no fun.
Edit: yes, the Falcons blew it. Just in general, in a tie, each team gets a chance to counter. Baseball doesn't end the game at the top of the 10th if someone scores.

But still not perfect. They're fair in the sense that both teams have to play offense and defense, but they still ignore one of the 3 crucial phases of the game: special teams. By giving teams the ball at the 25, you take the field position battle out of the game. Football isn't football without that. The whole game is one big battle to position the ball. CFB OT is more fair, but it's more like a minigame than actual football. Plus you often end up with multiple OTs and ridiculously inflated scores because neither gassed defense can stop the offenses from scoring.
The best OT would just be a continuation of the regular game. Treat it like a 5th quarter. Flip a coin, then kickoff. The game ends either when both teams have had an equal number of possessions and are no longer tied.

That sums it up that's punting strategy. Yes yes there are situations that call for fakes or abnormal go for it vs punt, but still...

Basically, no time on the clock, and sudden death if the first possession does not score.
If the first team scores, the second team gets a kickoff and a chance to score. If they fail, game over.

College rules actually have a more lopsided win ratio for the team that goes 2nd, than the team that gets the ball first in the NFL overtime.

I even think college is not right. Play a shorten overtime, if there is still a tie go to college rules (ball at the 25, both teams have a chance, etc.) then sudden death. It allows for both teams multiple of chances, and doesn't allow for a team to catch a lucky pass or two and win the game.

Look at the time of possession. Falcons had chances to win and they couldn't do it. They had a chance in over time and couldn't do it.
I get its a a gray area because what can it hurt but with the rules we have now the team that deserves to win wins. I don't want or need more overtime or the game to be more like college.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I was (heavily) rooting for Atlanta, but they couldn't stop Brady. In fact, if they would have stopped them once in the last 3 drives they would have won.
I think the new NFL overtime that eliminates the cheap FG winner on the first drive is a good system.

I think they're still fine, are people forgetting that Ryan got sacked to get out of FG range that would've pretty much ended the game.
There were SO many times where the Falcons could've just closed it out.
This isn't just an offensive game, it's a defensive game too.
Before it wasn't really a huge defensive game, offense had to drive 42 yards from a touchback to basically win the game with a FG (45 yard fg) or maybe 57 yards for a 30 yard FG.
Now a team has to travel 75 yards to win the game. Plenty of opportunities to stop them.

Falcons 'had a chance' for a whole half and let it slip by. Pats defense did its job when it needed to and let Tom Brady take over the game. Falcons had every opportunity to win before OT.

Yes, I agree the falcons had a colossal collapse and probably didn't deserve to win the game. The game also exposed how broken overtime rules are in the NFL. Both of those things can be true. What if the coin flip went the other way and the patriots who were rolling never got a chance to field their entire offensive unit and lost? Each team should get the Same opportunities to capture a win in overtime, because they are tied at that point. Both teams played equally in the only category that matters, points.
At the end of the day both teams had a chance to win but one team randomly had slightly more of a chance. For no reason at all.

FTFY. It's significantly different from how you phrased it, since in the following years, deferring teams won more than receiving teams.
In any case, I'll accept the evidence that receiving the ball first in the second half rather than the first is not a huge advantage, or perhaps not an advantage that most coaches are able to take advantage of, I believe it has a clear logical advantage, which is not the bogus one of "momentum" that your article cites.
Knowing how many points you need to score in the half where you have the possession edge gives you the information to make better use of your advantage than if you had the possession advantage in the first half, where it is less clear what pace you should be playing at. For teams that are good at clock management, that may not be a huge edge, but it is an edge.
The Patriots needed to score 18 points in the second half. That meant they needed it to be played at as fast a pace (i.e. include as many drives) as possible. Starting off the half with control of the ball, gave them that bit more opportunity to do that, at least if you believe that the offense has more control than defense over the pace of a drive, which I believe it does.
TL;DR: OK, the statistical evidence is unclear and I'll understand if you don't agree that there's any advantage at all to deferring, but I believe that it confers a slight, but real informational advantage in the game.

If both offenses are so strong that it's impossible to stop a TD then the OT would go on forever.
The Falcons also had a chance to close it out in regulation, they had the ball back with like 1:30 to get a FG. They couldn't do it.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 06:18:50 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I just think the rules should be more similar to college. Those overtimes don't last forever so idk why it would be assumed it'd last forever in the NFL. And I get that, the falcons had plenty of chances to close it out before ot. But the thing is, OT is a clean slate, basically a new game, and I just don't think it's fair that both teams don't get a shot. What would be the negative of both teams getting a shot like in ncaa?
bocboda ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:48:50 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I wouldn't mind it honestly, but they'd at least have to give the ball to them at like midfield in the NFL. But I also don't have much of a problem with the current format like so many others seem to have. My only problem with the old format was shit like what happened in the Saints-Vikings championship, but they fixed that so you have to score a TD to end it. And I'm of the mind that if you can't win the game in regulation AND you can't stop the opposing team from scoring a TD with the game on the line, you don't deserve to win.

I think the exact opposite. I think if the situation were reversed, if the Falcons won by scoring a touchdown after winning the coin toss, that would've greatly hastened a change in NFL OT rules. It would've meant that the quite likely greatest QB in NFL history never got to touch the ball in OT even after mounting a truly Herculean second-half comeback. Many, many fans, including Patriots-hating me, would've been rightfully livid at that outcome.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that the OT rules are unfair.
It was unfair when Packers lost to Seattle after Aaron Rodgers led an amazing comeback and then him and his offense never even got a chance in OT to play a fair game of football. And it's unfair today when Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Freeman, Coleman and the rest of the Falcons offense don't have a chance to prove themselves against the Patriots defense.

Think about it this way though. Yeah they had the whole half to make stops, and definitely blew it.
Even so, they still allowed the exact same amount of points as the Patriots defense allowed. Do points at the end of the game count for more or what? Weren't they tied? Is that not what a tie is?
radiokungfu ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 03:53:00 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I would agree with that, except for the simple fact that they were ahead by that much. The only way I see it should be different is if both teams are tied all the way up to OT. In a game like this, I don't feel bad at all that they didn't get a chance. More than likely, they were just going to put up a dud, like they did the whole 2nd half.

More than likely, absolutely. But it's ridiculous that they don't even get a chance. Not as bad in this game even, imagine if it's a back-and-forth game all the way, and stays within a score with a shootout? Team that gets the coin toss has a statistically higher chance to win, which is garbage.

I don't. I think it's a loser's excuse, even worse than the typical whiny loser excuses against bad calls by refs. At least a bad call can actually be unfair since it can punish you for something you didn't do. The overtime rules are there for everyone to see right from the beginning, and you have a 50/50 shot of being the first team on offense.
And it's not like winning the toss means you get like a penalty kick. Your defense is going on the field. Make a stop. For crying out loud you don't even actually have to stop them from scoring entirely, you just have to hold them to a field goal. If you really can't do either, and you let them march down and score a touchdown in a single drive after you failed to close the game on them during the 60 minutes of regulation you had, you've lost. Losing sucks. Move on and get better.

Like i said, i dont watch a lot of football... I had to look up the overtime rules when i realized it was going into ot. Objectively i feel that its an unfair system... The falcons never even got a chance on offense... If they did get a chance on offense there is a MUCH higher chance that THEY would have scored instead.... The ref even said in his own words its like a new game, so regardless of how the game went before OT, if OT was its own game it would be unfair.

I'm not blaming this particular loss on the rules at all, but do you really think the current overtime system is fair? What if a game is very offensive throughout and both defenses are having a hard time making stops and then it goes to overtime? Whoever wins the coin flip has a much higher chance of winning than just 50/50. Should games really be decided like that?
Again, I'm not saying Falcons lost because of that. They lost because they couldn't hold on to a 28-3 lead. All I'm saying is that I think it's dumb that both teams aren't given a shot like in ncaa.

The fact that regardless of who lost, the losing team would complain about the rules is a pretty hard showing that the rules are stupid.
The fact that the first team can instantly win the game without a rebuttal means luck plays a large factor into who is going to win, and luck should never be a large factor in a game of skill and strategy.

I agree that college OT rules would be more fair/entertaining. However, the Falcons had a chance to stop the Pats, and they didn't. That's the way it works in the NFL. Sorry dude. Also, Falcons had a chance to win at the end, but the Pats made the stop. So idk man.

A coin toss always has to decide. Even if you give the falcons the ball again you are in an advantageous position because you can use all 4 downs. This is the most fair way, it is closer to 50/50 than ncaa rules.

Not sure what you're looking for here. Patriots were owning the Falcons since the start of the 4th quarter. The only rule change that would've helped the Falcons is "if you have a 25 point lead, you're automatically the winner".

The defense just has to make one stop. The offense has to drive the whole length of the field. Tom Brady makes it look a bit easier than most. I agree it is not completely fair but they still have a chance to stop them. They should use college rules but Atlanta shouldn't blow leads like that.

Personally I wouldn't want college OT rules in the NFL. Don't get me wrong I think the rules need to change. But I would prefer it to be a full field drive, like it is now but if the first team gets a TD then the second team gets rebuttals, the only exception to the rebuttal rules being if a team got a safety. I feel like it would showcase more of the NFL skills and fierce competition.

People always bitch about OT rules when the team they like loses, but statistically, you cant get much better with the NFL's setup. Since changing to a touchdown wins/fg gives the other team a shot, either team has a 50/50 shot at winning the game regardless of whether or not they win the coin toss.

My friends and I joked at halftime that the only way the Patriots could come back was through ritualistic sacrifice using goat blood. Then they came back. And many of their jerseys were stained red.

I was watching it at night in my bed so I can't wake my family up (I live in France)
Two years ago, I said the SuperBowl 49 was the best ever. Now, I say that SuperBowl 51 is the best ever. I shed a tiny tear at the end of these games because I couldn't shout out loud.
I didn't stop believing in the Patriots since I've watched a lot of games (not only American football) with this kind of scenario. But I have to salute the Falcons because they put a hell of a game but they forgot that an American football game doesn't last 45min.
Thank you for this amazing final and see you at the Combine.

Each round of overtime in college, both teams get a possession starting at their opponent's 25. Whoever outscores their opponent wins. If the teams are tied, they'll keep playing extra rounds until a team wins.

College rules still give a clear advantage to the team that gets the ball second. That team knows exactly how many points it needs to tie/win and can therefore go for it on fourth down, go for the two-point conversion etc.
I see two solutions to make it truly fair:
Implement college rules without field goals and without either the extra point or two-point conversion so that there is in fact no strategic advantage to going second.
Go back to sudden-death and implement the bidding system detailed in this article. It's pretty awesome.

When the super bowl consists of teams that got there due to their offensive power, overtime rules only favor the team that wins the coin toss. Only when it's good offense vs good defense do the current overtime rules make sense.
A change is needed.

The Falcons, offensive juggernauts that they are, didn't manage a single point in the final 23 minutes of the game. They had 4 possessions to get a single point, and they utterly failed. They literally had the game ending field goal in their grasp before deciding to pass and take a 13 yard sack; that call was even stupider than the Seahawks pass at the 2 yard lane because at least the Seahawks had something to possibly gain for the risk they took. The Falcons had nothing to gain, everything to lose, and that's exactly what they did.

If the falcons won the toss and drove down for a TD it's the same stupidity, regardless of the other 60 minutes. Then it turns into "a 25-point comeback is negated by a coin toss." One team statistically has a much higher chance of winning solely because of a coin. The rules are dumb and I hope this highlights it enough to reconsider them.

Both teams get alternating possessions starting at the their own 20.
Or just add a 15 minute period and play non-sudden death.
Making it equitable is not very challenging. If need be, keep sudden death for the regular season. But playoffs need an equitable winner.

Right, so a team who is known for their offense should be at a disadvantage to a defensive team. The fact is that if the game is a shootout, OT games are decided by coin tosses, which is dumb.
But the rule will stay because dumb people who want to make snappy statements are apparently on rules committees as well as subreddits.
happyflappypancakes ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 03:55:24 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just a question, why should the rules change based on how a team finds success? A football team can find success in many ways, offense, defense, forcing TOs, run game, pass game, sacks, etc. The team should conform to the rule, not vice versa.
DancesWithChimps ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:01:16 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If two teams favor their offenses, then the game is decided by the coin toss. One team didn't conform while the other didn't. One team got lucky, and in competition, deciding things by blind luck is a pointless endeavor. You can't conform to a goddamn coin toss.
happyflappypancakes ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:03:53 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But you can't just change rules around based on what each team is good at, otherwise we would have a team complaining every time. College fans still complain that the second team to go first gets the advantage because they know exactly what they need to get. It would never end. I don't think a team should get a handicap because they are bad at one of the two facets of the game.
DancesWithChimps ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:20:44 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying giving both team the opportunity to possess the ball is fairer to all styles of play, and the hypothetical "teams would complain just as much" is asinine.
And then they switch in college as an attempt at fairness. Some rules are going to favor one team or another, but making them as fair as possible should be a priority.
Well, that's the dumbest logic there is. Something can't be perfect, so why even bother.
No, they get a handicap because they won a coin toss. It's not a matter of one team playing one style and the other is playing another. When both teams are playing well offensively, the game is decided by a coin toss, so the coin toss does give the winning team a handicap in the current system. I can't make this any clearer.

Stop saying the fucking game was decided by a coin toss.it was decided by the pats driving and scoring a TD against you. That's not blind fucking luck. Statistically it's harder to score a TD than it is to stop a team from scoring one. Otherwise teams would score a TD more often than not. The overtime rules aren't stupid. It adds a sudden death high stakes feel to it and just because your team sucks ass at defense doesn't mean the rules are stupid.

This right here is the correct insight into the reality here. People have their logic all wrong if they think that just because two teams scored the same amount of points over a decided period of time, the team who caught up at the end is somehow way better? They took longer to get the same amount of points. That isn't better.
Just because you score a lot of points over the other team, it doesn't follow that you would necessarily stop the other team from getting just as many.

I always see people complaining about the OT rules, but I never see a better proposition. People say give each team a possession, but that just means that the teams will always defer since they'll know exactly what they need. It allows both defenses to play, but not under equal conditions.
EDIT: An extra quarter would work pretty well imo, but that's usually not the suggestion. My bad for not mentioning that initially.

Ya but that's not the point of the issue people have with the overtime rules. The pats offense had the opportunity to win the game on first possession score. The falcons did not have that opportunity. The difference in opportunity was due to a coin toss.
Everybody would be fine if both teams got the same opportunity for possession. Otherwise it'd be like in a regular game, if you score a touchdown, you receive the ball again. That's insane and silly and no one would do that. Yet, for overtime, that's exactly what they're doing.

Because it's irrelevant. It could have been the closest game ever, going back and forth, and it would still have been decided by a cointoss.
Just because Atlanta had a huge lead doesn't make the rules good.

Downvoted because you both lack basic common sense. Patriots developed a 25 point deficit in the first half, Atlanta blew a 25 point lead in the second half. The score was the same at the end of the game. Choking has zero to do with what OT rules should be. I'm trying to resist the urge to call the lot of you complete idiots for not understanding this very basic concept.

Falcons choke in the Playoffs period. Hell, Georgia teams choke in the playoffs. We just happened to be on a hype train this year to make it this far. I knew a collapse was coming, I was not overhyped for a minute when we were. Up over 20 points,.

The amount of choke here is honestly being underrated. They could have essentially taken a knee and kicked a field goal to seal the game at one point. That sack and holding was fucking moronic.

they choked but it doesn't take away from the fact they were hosed by shitty overtime rules.
The Falcons made the superbowl on the back of their historically great offense.
In the superbowl, the game as tied at the end of regulation. Both teams played equally well over the course of 4 quarters. Both teams should have a fair shot in overtime.
Instead, the unit that carreid the falcons to the superbowl and was historically great did not even get to see the field because they lost the coin toss. Thats pretty shitty

He's being downvoted because the logic doesn't make sense. Sure, Atlanta lost a 28-3 lead, but the same Patriots who made those 25 points allowed it to be 28-3 in the first place. Both teams had the same amount of time to score, and they broke even. To then allow a heavily skewed drive be the decider for the Super Bowl is kind of silly.

This is a bad argument because of salary cap. The player most teams invest the most in by far is the quarterback. For one team to be able to use their's and the other not is not fair.
Additionally, if you have one team that got in the Super Bowl on the back of their top defense and the other that got in from their offense then maybe it is a little more balanced. But when you have two teams that are in the Super Bowl primarily because of their offenses, the team that wins the coin toss is at a sizeable advantage.

I'm from the UK and certainly no NFL expert but I ask is this the greatest team in league history? Is Brady the best player in league history? New England reminds me of Sir Alex Ferguson's sides whilst he was the manager for my Red Devil's. The match is never over because the players always believe
Mace55555 ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 04:42:43 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Short, biased answer is yes.
Bill Belichick is always mentioned in the people who come up in the greatest coach of all time discussion.
And I believe after this performance Tom is now indisputably the GOAT QB. Player, maybe not. But Quarterback, yes. He's cemented that tonight.
Greatest team is a whole different argument. I would say they are the most successful team ever. 9 superbowl appearances is no laughing matter. And 7 of these were in the last 16 years, AKA Brady/Belichick era.

I think OT rules are as good as they'll get. Regardless of who wins the toss, teams have a pretty consistent 50-50 chance to win. I don't know the exact numbers but it's about as even of a tiebreaker as you can get.

But at the same time, the Falcons defense got a chance. It's not like the Pats got it and just walked down the field with no one trying to stop them (although they did just walk down the field). I was pulling for the Falcons, but saying they didn't get a chance is absurd. They got a chance, and they blew it.

But both teams are more known for their offense more. Yet we only saw one in OT. I mean yes the Falcons cant blame the OT rules (should have kicked that damn FG) and OT rules are the same for all, but its a cheap way to decide such an important game.
CashmereLogan ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 04:03:22 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It doesn't matter what both teams are known for. Offense shouldn't be looked at as if it's the more important of the two. Defense is important in any game, especially a Super Bowl, and Atlanta's defense just didn't show up in OT.

That's not what he is saying. He is saying both offense and defense hold equal weight in football and 1 team only got to show 1 while the other couldn't.
CashmereLogan ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:12:12 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If offense and defense hold equal weight in football, then the rules should be sufficient. We saw an offense face off against a defense in overtime. If those two are equal, or at least treated equally in the game, then there is nothing wrong with the rules.
pdpfortune ยท 10 points ยท Posted at 04:18:00 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Now you are just picking at my choice of words.
By your logic, if they do hold equal weight, why can't each team showcase both their offense and defense? Why does it have to be only 1 or the other?
crownpr1nce ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 05:34:04 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Alright let's rephrase. You need both offense and defense to win in football. So why did one team only show offense and the other only show defense? One can't both teams show both units since both are important?
It's not as if it's not done elsewhere, it is. College football and CFL both use a system where both teams' offense gets a go!

Yes but one team has to do more than the other. Stopping a possession and then having to score is not the same as only having to score. Edit: Especially considering one side has a MAJOR advantage if they win a random coin flip despite both teams having put up equal points to put it into overtime in the first place.

Clock management. They lost because of that. Throwing when up by 16 with 7 left? Snapping the ball with 15+ seconds on the clock. Every fucking play after the 4th quarter should have been snapped with 1 second on the clock and they should have run the ball a lot. Coaching lost them that game. The defense was spent and demoralized by the end of that game.

You're up 3-touchdowns at the end of the 3rd quarter, and you're snapping the ball with 20-seconds left on the clock?
Don't get me wrong, Brady is a great quarterback and is one of the best of all time (despite my hate for him). But he didn't deserve to win that game, the Falcons deserved to lose it.

I wasn't really trying to make a point. I was asking about the logic behind the current rule itself.
What would be a better alternative? I guess it makes sense for both teams to have a possession, and then keep going until someone can't score a touchdown on their drive?
Why isn't that the rule now? It makes a lot more sense I feel like.

CashmereLogan ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:55:57 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's why there is a coin toss. It's not "unfair". It comes down to who is the more balanced team. If both teams got a chance to score a touchdown, it would really lessen the role of the defense in overtime.
And they also didn't play half a game. Overtime shouldn't be separate from everything that happened before. Both teams played well enough on both sides of the ball for the game to be tied in the first place. Ending the game with the same score is about the best test for equivalence in talent that there could be in a football game, so both the offense and the defense should both be capable of doing what needs to be done.
ms4 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:28:20 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How does that make any sense? If that were true why not just have one team play offense all game and the other defense. It completely lessens the role of the other teams defense. There is zero logic behind the OT rules, it should be blow for blow.

Games are 60 minutes. No more, no less. Each team scored 28 points in those 60 minutes. Doesn't matter if they scored them in the first half or the second half. It doesn't change that both scored the same number of points in the same amount of time.

Trying to stop a possession and then score is not the same as only having to score. Currently, only one half of the team needs to play to potentially decide the outcome of the game which is not satisfying or fair.

Winning the coin toss is equivalent to getting the ball and having the chance to score. You're staking the entire game on one half of a team vs one half of another team. By scoring, the patriots completely denied two halves of two teams the ability to try and win the game. It should not come down to one offense vs one defence, it should come down to two offenses vs two defences. The coin toss itself isn't unfair, the overtime rules are unfair.

You're analyzing the game as if it were just a list of statistical progress points and completely ignoring the psychology or reality of any of it. It's a total cop out to say Atlanta lost on a coin toss. A team with a lead like that has to control the the game to win and they crumbled.
They had an entire half to perform and couldn't. They had multiple drives to stop and couldn't get it done, including the 2-pt conversions they knew were coming. The OT drive might as well have been against a wet paper bag. They'd lost before the coin was flipped.

If the Patriots had tied it up around the end of the 3rd and we had a back and forth game for the 4th quarter I'd give you that. As it happened the Falcons weren't exactly trending towards having a game sealing drive even if they'd won the toss.
My entire point is that it's not like the Falcons were denied their only opportunity to win. They had an entire quarter in regulation to do something about it. That includes having the ball in awesome field position and getting pushed back like 20 yards out of game sealing field goal range.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:48:32 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
and the Patriots also didn't win at the end of regulation. It doesn't matter, overtime rules should not give one team a major advantage regardless of how the last quarter was played. The Patriots weren't trending the first half but turned it around, I don't see how the Falcons (or whoever doesn't win the coin toss) should be at such a disadvantage when both teams ended the regulation game in a tie.

Falcons stopped the Patriots for 3 quarters, they didn't in OT. I get the initial feeling is saltiness but let's not pretend that the falcons didn't blow this.

That's a strong coin if it made the Falcons stop playing defense...
OT rules are dumb, but the coin didn't bring the Patriots back from being down 28-3, nor did it help them waltz into the end zone in OT.

They were up 25 points and had multiple opportunities to score OR play defense at any point in the second half or overtime.

It's one of the worst rules in any sports ever. I'm a soccer fan and back when the golden goal was a thing good lord was it terrible. First team to score wins, end of story. No chance for the other team to try pin a goal back. That's the end of the game. This coin toss smells or shit golden goal rule as well.
Feels like you guys need a similar end of game penalty system that soccer enjoys at the moment when games go over time in a final or at least give the other team a chance to counter.

This. I don't watch football regularly and the OT rules in the NFL are atrocious for a national sport, especially for a championship game. At least in CFB teams take shots at each other from the 20 yd line until one team comes out the winner. But this becomes sudden death with a touchdown and the other team doesn't get a chance to respond? Fucking awful.

EDIT: To everyone saying "don't blow the lead", I don't have a dog in this fight; I only watch NFL games once bowl season is over. The way I see it, if two teams played equally for 60 minutes (and they did, because that's what the scoreboard said), then they deserve equal chances to score (especially considering the rule changes continually favoring the offense).

Wrong. You're up by that many points? You put the game away. The Falcons lost and they deserve it too
Edit:
I actually played defense and put a helmet and pads on. Cornerback. I ran fast and hit hard as fuck. I would have been utterly embarrassed to let the other team come back up 25 points. Any and all statements that think otherwise never played football or sat on the bench. No one that ever played and contributed to a winning team would ever say the Falcons did anything other than choke like losers. If this post receives more downvotes they are actually upvote my correct statements. Ask anyone that ACTUALLY PLAYED defense WITH PADS has any logical reasoning for the Falcons. They won't give you any because they know that was a complete collapse

If the falcons won the toss and drove down for a TD it's the same stupidity, regardless of the other 60 minutes. Then it turns into "a 25-point comeback is negated by a coin toss." One team statistically has a much higher chance of winning solely because of a coin. The rules are dumb and I hope this highlights it enough to reconsider them.

Mawx ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 03:42:37 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
3-28 at the end of 3 quarters or 0-0, the game ended tied so therefore the previous 60 minutes were irrelevant. The OT rules are flawed when the league mvp doesn't get to touch the ball in the most crucial moment on the biggest stage.

So it would be ok if he wasn't mvp? What relevance is that.
And he did get to touch it. He touched it a lot actually. And when they had a chance to put the game away they blew it.
Mawx ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:39:27 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The relevance is that the most important player in the league doesn't get a chance to touch the ball when it matters most on the biggest stage. How is that not a flawed system?

the fact that he is MVP should be fucking irrelevant.
they had a 25 point lead with like 20 minutes left. Blaming it on OT rules does 2 things:
1) it's an attempt to absolve or lessen the blame the falcons should get. They blew it. Unequivocally blew it. But, having said that..
2) it's an attempt to discredit the greatest SB comeback ever, and one of the greatest SB performances ever.
If the game was close and then decided solely on the coin toss, I'd understand. But it wasn't, all the falcons had to do was not allow 31 unanswered. That's it! If they score points anywhere in those points, they win.

Hockey starts with a face-off at center ice. Basketball starts with a tip-off. There's not really an equivalent neutral start to football.
I don't think anyone is arguing against the sudden death aspect, just that there is not a way to make sure both teams have an equal opportunity to score first in sudden death OT.

There's definitely other sports with sudden death to end them (hockey, some soccer, summer league basketball), and while a coin toss isn't used, who gets to go on offense is still decided in an arbitrary manner (better player at face off, taller player), which you could argue is less fair than giving both sides a 50/50 chance at first chance to score.
That said sudden death is lame.

Eh, you draft/trade for players that will have an advantage in a face off or tip off, you can't do anything to account for a coin toss.
I think mentally Atlanta was mentally gone on both ends after that combat, and it might not have mattered anyway. But, from a purely objective point of view, football doesn't have a way to decide initial possession based on skill.

But that's not the point. The same thing could have happened if the game was neck and neck. I mean, Falcons didn't deserve to win after giving up a huge lead, but the rule is still stupid.

What if it had been a close game though, and then that overtime plays out as it did? We can point to blowing the 25 point lead thankfully, but the overtime rules would've completely ruined a less roller-coastered game.

It wasn't decided by a coin flip. The Falcons had three defensive chances to stop the Patriots and they didn't do it on any of then. If the pats were held to a field goal or a 4th down attempt on either of the first two most likely this sub would be celebrating the loss of the evil empire. The last one if they could have held the pats to anything other than a touchdown Matty Ice would have had his shot in OT. The Falcons mismanaged this game in the last quarter and lost because of it. Pure and simple. The game went to the team who finished the game the strongest. Just like any other game with a 4th quarter come from behind win.

To say it was 'decided' by a coin flip is inaccurate. It was decided by many things that led to that coin flip, mainly the Falcons playing like ass for the entire 4th quarter. Im sorry man, its rough but we earned that shit, and if you won in overtime on the first drive i highly doubt youd be saying the Pats deserved a chance.

Gotta remember, before they changed the rules it was immediate sudden death overtime and just a FG would end the game. That really favored teams winning the coin toss.
There is an element of risk going down the field to attempt getting a TD instead kicking a FG and hoping the other team does worse on their possession. The defense could have intercepted and returned any of those passes, someone could have fumbled, someone could have fumbled into the endzone. It's definitely an improvement over the old system. In OT it's not about the 25 point lead that was blown in regulation. It's all about not giving up 7 for the first possession and not giving up any scores in subsequent possessions to determine the winner.

You think college and pro are that much different that the concept of fairness doesn't apply equally?
Try and extricate yourself from the situation, although I know that's tough as a fan. Before the coin was flipped for OT, you know there's a very good chance that either the league MVP or the greatest QB of all time isn't even going to see the field in OT. That's patently unfair, if not to the players then most certainly to the fans.
EDIT: As a casual fan, I know I would have been just as pissed if Brady engineered an unanswered 25 point comeback and the Patriots lost because he rode the pine for OT.

As a Pats fan I know all the "Brady is the Goat, best comeback of all time, best Super Bowl of all time" has been said and confirmed.
But calling the Falcons chokers is a joke. That offense played as well as it had all year and the defense shut down Brady for 3 1/2 quarters: That's worthy of respect and if you don't think it is you're kidding yourselves because the Falcons were the best in the NFC and played a great game.
Pats fans talk a lot of shit but I for one don't have anything bad to say about Atlanta. Great team.

No Super Bowl had ever gone to over time.
This was the greatest coach of all time, with the greatest quarterback of all time, in the greatest super bowl of all time.
And for all of the Brady haters who thinks he's a cry baby, the only tears he shed tonight were of joy. He took so many hits and persevered.

I mean they also put up a 25 point lead in the first place. They were dominant the first half, and the Pats were better in the second half. Then it was decided by a coin toss.

I don't want to argue for the OT rules, because they are dumb, but it was decided by a coin toss and a touchdown drive. It's not fair, but it was more fair than straight up 50-50.

That's true. It wasn't literally decided by a coin toss, but in a Super Bowl with two excellent offenses it seems unfair to make one Defense play for the whole game without giving the Offejse a chance.

If you look at it like hockey overtime it makes sense. Sudden death. A team gains possession at the start, the defending team is trying to take possession. Defense doesn't stop the offense from getting withing goal range, offense scores. Game over.

Sucks, but you've got to turn around and play the ball. That play gets called 100 out of 100 times.
nitram9 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:10:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You sure about that? Seems to me that PI and defensive holding are the most inconsistently called penalties I've ever seen in any sport. It's a fucking coin flip. I'm pretty sure I saw exactly the same kind of contact a couple of times earlier in the game by both teams and there was no flag.
augustfutures ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 04:49:39 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That specific play, where a defender has his back to the ball and is running into the offensive receiver, gets called like clockwork. It's textbook PI. But yes, I agree that other PI calls can be coin flips most of the time.

Edelmans catch?
[deleted] ยท -37 points ยท Posted at 03:48:41 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think they botched that call honestly, Edelman went down, dropped the ball while his knee was down, then grabbed it again after being down on the field.
drew_carnegie ยท 28 points ยท Posted at 03:50:15 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
What? That would still be a catch, unless you're suggesting that the ball was on the ground, which it very clearly was not.

hydrohydro ยท 17 points ยท Posted at 03:54:14 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
no. ball never touched the ground so it's still live. he could juggle that shit for 10 minutes as long as it doesn't hit the ground.
midnightsbane04 ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 03:54:17 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If the ball never touches the ground and the receiver never goes out of bounds then the play never ends.
nitram9 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 04:15:04 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
When they say that they're talking about a sideline catch. If you catch it inbounds but you lose control of it on your way out then gain control again and can't get your feet in bounds again then it's not a catch. In the field of play though it's totally different. If you lose control then gain it again it's like you're just starting the "process" of the catch over again. As long as the ball doesn't hit the ground you're good.

I'm a visitor to your sub. I know very little about football. I'm very much a "social Super Bowl football watcher." But serious question:
Has an athlete ever dug deeper than Tom Brady did just now? I feel like at the end of the game he should've just blacked out from the mental exhaustion. His focus during the 4th quarter was just otherworldly, you could see it in his eyesโhe was on a completely different plane than everyone else in that stadium. I've never seen anything like that. It transcended football. Again, I know next to nothing about football but I know that that performance is the kind of thing that earns people the title of GOAT.

Great performance by the NFL MVP... This is why you need more than yards and touchdowns to evaluate talent in the NFL.
Also the offensive play calling turned to shit in the second half. What the hell was Kyle Shanahan even doing there? All those passing plays with that huge lead and those running backs??
Props to the Pats and all for pulling it off, but that was the worst choke job I think I've ever seen.

As a redskins fan, I just want to say that this is kyle shananan's MO. He's amazing at designing schemes and gameplans, and is a very creative playcaller.
But for a man who is just amazing at building a run game, he abandons the run in crucial moments, in moments where it just makes no sense at all, with baffling frequency.
Our team sucked when kyle was there. He made our offense significantly better than the talent actually was. I give him all the credit in the world for that.
But he cost us games getting cute and trying to throw and make big plays in moments where we just needed a safe call. And it happened tonight. Up by 8, on your opponents' 22 yard line? And that series of playcalls? New england had to make the plays. The absurdly necessary and clutch great plays. But Kyle stuck it out there for them, the opportunity.
It's what he does and I think it will cost him throughout his career. Possibly a bit of an omen for the 49ers.

That generation will pass, it always does. Every big team was once small and will deminish back over the years. This might be the last time he will ever be there. You need teams and people to dominate the game for a while to create legends. Remember Schumachers domination in F1, Barcelona/Real Madrid in Spain, Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt,... sports are not fair and there is not such thing as "every team should win once" thing.

The Atlanta Falcons unironically broke the NFL regular season record with 13 wins, went 30-0 in the first half against the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs, gained a 28-3 lead on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, and then lost the lead and did not win the championship. Matt Ryan unironically won unanimous MVP, back to back MVPs, and exclaimed "We not goin' home!" during a game, before being blocked by LeBrady a record 7 times in one series and indeed going home. Julio Jones unironically said in a post game interview after going up 28-3 that football "is a man's game" and LeTom Brady "got his feelings hurt", LeMVP proceeded to average 36pts/12ast/10reb and won the next 3 games and the championship.
These things all actually happened, the thoughts of this reality stay with me at all times. I go to sleep at night looking up at the stars, wondering what celestial being aligned the universe in such a way to make an event as amazing as this occur. I wake up smiling every morning knowing that the Falcons genuinely went 13-5 and choked a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl. That even if time is a nonlinear fourth dimension, going to back to stop it from happening will simply create another universe where it happens again. That the state of ass-blastedness emanating from the city of Atlanta is eternal and infinite, it crosses countless dimensions of the multiverse and its unending torment knows no bounds. I gaze into the endless cosmic wonders around me, still in disbelief that it actually happened, but knowing that my purpose in life was to be born just in time to see LeGod get one for da land.

The best part about all of this was reading the comments in the game thread. One idiot in particular said something like "Brady has officially lost a step" and it had a couple upvotes. It had a reply that just said "3-5 years lol".
Keep hating morons.

Brady did not throw a very good deep ball this game. He missed plenty of wide open receivers there.

Brady has never had a great deep ball. The only year he did was with Moss, probably the best deep ball receiver ever

Every Patriot fan in the 3-5 more year thread said his arm strength looked great and his deep ball was the best it's ever been.
This game proved that they were delusional on that.
FSUfan35 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 03:57:21 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Patriots fan down voting you I guess. The first one he missed, the recover did get bumped right as Brady was throwing it, and another one would have been a tough catch but it went right through Hogan's hands

He also led a comeback from the largest Super Bowl deficit while throwing for 466 yards and 2 TD. If you think he has lost a step, then I don't think anything I say could convince you otherwise.

Patriot fans were clamoring how much better his arm looked and deep ball looked this year in other threads.
His deep ball isn't as good as they thought and claimed.
Brady has always been a medium to short throwing guy and he proved it tonight that he's the best at that.

Okay, perspective time. He missed a ton of throws and was mediocre til the fourth, then the biggest play of the tying drive was an awful throw into triple coverage. Then he almost throws a pick from the 1 yard line.

But Edelman actually made that catch and the refs made the right call. That was a dumb challenge by the Falcons. Their guys upstairs should have seen it was a clean catch. Plus they wasted their final timeout which could've been useful later. Don't be salty.

Damn what a rollercoaster ride. I can't imagine being a die hard ATL fan and going on this ride. The game was a snoozer for people who didn't have a dog in the fight and for those "casual" fans. People who enjoy watching football every week knew there was a chance.
But damn was that a small chance.
The falcons fucked up one of the largest leads in Super Bowl history it felt like.
No doubt in my mind that the Patriots are the gold standard in the NFL and are right there with the San Antonio Spurs as the greatest franchise in the last 2 decades.
Tom Brady is the GOAT.

I think what we saw was the consequence of Atlanta's high octane team. They expend as much energy as possible to get a huge lead and ride it out to the end. Even the Saints almost mounted a nice comeback against this team. As long as they keep this kind of pace their weakness is always going to be the end of the game when they run out of steam.

I had to work during the game, but figured "eh, I don't feel too strongly about either team, I'll get over it"
Only checked the score twice at work, saw it was 7-0 and then 21-3 Falcons, and judging by what people were saying on Facebook figured I wasn't missing much.
Then as I was walking in to pick up a pizza after work I checked facebook and saw the final and now I'm pissed that I missed the game.

Goddammit I hate Belichech(?sp), but he's is the best coach in sports. He sees potential in bad players (Edelman, Brady) and turns them into superstars. If those two were on any other team they would be nothing special, probably out of the league by now. Congrats to them, and without any cheating this year!

Focusing on Edelman (and more specifically his college career), without BB he had no business in the NFL. Have you heard the old adage that says the absolute best high school players go on to play on D1 college teams? Kent is not one of those programs. I know kids who weren't in the top 5 at their schools get offers from Kent, his career is all BB seeing something in a nobody player, and making them great

Eh I think you guys have a really good chance to see the superbowl again within the next 3 years. Matty Ice isn't going anywhere, neither is Quinn and neither is Julio. You just need more defense. Or, really, just better conditioning. Because they clearly had Brady's number early on and apparently just ran out of gas in the 4th q.

I don't know how the Falcons went from destroying the Patriots with a 21-0 lead, to not answering 31 straight points that the Patriots scored.
What in the hell happened? I truly felt it was Atlanta's year. Very disappointed that they didn't win their first Super Bowl.
Though, I'm not a Patriots fan. I'll say that they deserved to win, since they had that amazing comeback. Great Super Bowl. Lots of history was made.

I think this may genuinely be the happiest I've been for a Patriots win in a LONG TIME. The beginning of that game was terrible, to say the least. I was giving up hope... But then I kept thinking to myself "Tom Brady THRIVES in adversity." His whole STORY is about how good he is at overcoming adversity, and it shows with this Super Bowl. I 100% think under no hesitation that Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. Period. I'm the happiest 19 year old in the world right now.

I grew up hating the Lakers, hating the Yankees, and thus hating the Patriots. I hated teams that were perennial powerhouses. I was born in 90, and grew up always seeing these teams win, or constantly being in the finals/championships. I have no reason to hate them, but I always found myself cheering for the other team. I had no reason to, but I cheered for the Diamondbacks. I had no reason to, but I cheered for the Pistons. Was happy when Peyton finally beat Brady. The Patriots especially stuck. In 07, I was ecstatic to see them lose. I couldn't give a fuck about the Giants, but my 16 year old self was marking out to see the Pats lose.
But these last two Super Bowls changed me. After getting bounced by Seattle and having to watch them face "the fucking Patriots, as I thought at the time" I was torn. By the end, I was alright with New England winning. It was a hell of a game, and seeing that emotion out of Brady sort of hit with me. Ultimately, I thought it was my recent hatred for Seattle that lead me to it.
But tonight, I found myself almost genuinely cheering for them. All things set aside, I had a playoffs fantasy football draft where I had Brady and White. So I went in thinking, well if the Pats win it'll hopefully be because they had good games. (Ha, holy shit they won me the league so thank god they did) But I just found myself cheering for what I thought was the good game. I thought, well New England clawing back is at least making a game of it. But ultimately I realized, I was enjoying myself watching the best fucking quarterback will him and his team out of that deficit to a win. I was watching the game with my old man and we were joking how, of course New England will make a game of it. And then slowly, it switched to, holy shit, they are winning this game.
For me, it was the Edelman catch. You know which one. Before that, I thought Julio wrapped up the Super Bowl. Signed sealed and delivered. It was his moment for Super Bowl glory if Atlanta could just cash in on the field goal. But then... sack, penalty and low and behold, Brady has the ball again. When the play to Edelman happened and the ref ran in and signaled a catch, and we actually saw the replay, both my dad and I immediately said it was their Tyree moment. I was almost sure they were going to come back. Brady started making some throws that were gutsy as hell. We both talked about one to Hogan along the left sideline. It was just a simple hook that he barely got to before the defender. From the camera angle behind Brady, it looked like a 50/50 ball almost, but he trusted/knew his receiver could get it.
I'll never be a Pats fan. I'll always bleed green and gold, and depending on the opponent, I'll maybe cheer for the other team. But god damnit, after seeing Brady and them celebrate winning and witnessing this legendary comeback, I'll never hate/cheer against Tom Brady like I used to. I used to hate him for winning, but now I can appreciate that I am witnessing greatness. Whether it's at the QB position or at the team level will always be debated, but we're witnessing it. I was rooting for Atlanta and I ended up watching the whole post game, sort of smiling because I just watched something amazing. And I'll sort of always appreciate the Patriots and Brady for that.
End drunken rant.

You may not be wrong, but if so, I doubt he was okay with being down 21-3. BB has been known to give the offense things and [possibly] be okay with being down a score early if it's fitting to the overall game plan. NE under BB have been good for a long time coming out in the 2nd half. I'm sure rope-a-dope works in football as any other sport.

NFL overtime is hot shit. It's Golden Goal without the equal opportunity for scoring that exists in other games that have Golden Goal rules.

I dno I mean I think winning the coin toss can bite you in the ass and of course it can be good if you can score a TD. Fail to score or turnover the other team just needs a field goal. Pat's just rode the momentum on an amazing comeback. I like that it's not college rules.

43/62 for 466 yards.
In a Super Bowl.
At 39 years old.
I've been watching football for about 40 years and I can't believe what I just saw. The Falcons threw straight rights to the Pats' chins all first half and some potent shots (via JJ's ridiculous catches) in the second half. That was an amazing comeback on multiple levels.
I can't believe what I just saw.

Brady and Bellichick are the GOATs. End of story.
But this was the biggest collapse in NFL history. Yes there have been bigger deficits but this was the friggin Super Bowl.
My heart go's out to Falcons fans. As a Bronco fan, XLVIII was painful and pathetic but we got our asses handed to us by a better team. The Falcons shat the bed like no bed has ever been shat and I can't imagine how painful it must be.

All Atlanta had to do was run the ball twice when they were at about the NE 22 and kick a FG to go up by 11 to seal the deal.
Nope, gotta call pass plays and get sacked beyond FG RANGE.

The badger will roll over on its back and emit a smell of death, which confuses the dogs and lures them in for the traditional ripping and tearing action. But it is usually the badger who does the ripping and tearing. It is a beast that fights best on its back: rolling under the throat of the enemy and seizing it by the head with all four claws.

I'm so happy for them! I can't imagine how emotional it is for them. I'm sitting here trying to not cry out of sheer happiness. They came back from such a deficit and they beat a team that was trying really hard to win. Atlanta gave them a run for their money and if the game played out like the first half, they deserved it. But the Pats came back and played seriously like they wanted to win. It came down to the wire and they won and I cannot believe it and I love them.

Nobody is saying the Falcons didn't fuck up, the point is though that the 2 teams were tied at the end of regulation. OT is supposed to be a fair extension of the game, but clearly the coin flip sways the odds be a huge margin.
Saying "if you didn't want to get fucked by bad OT rules then don't tie in regulation" could be used to justify drawing straws as the OT Rules for who wins.
ues the Falcons collapsed, bit they still ended regulation in a tie and the OT should be fair to both teams; not have a coin toss change the odds so drastically
brown_paper_bag ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:57:56 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So had Beasley caught that ball in the end zone in OT and Atlanta wound up with possession, it would have been totally cool if they scored on that drive and the Patriots got a second chance to score so it would be fair?
the_real_MSU_is_us ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:10:35 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
yes! Both teams get 1 possession each until they end with a score differential. If ATL and the Pats both score a TD, then both teams should get a 2nd set of possessions until one team scores more

snapyobagels ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 03:48:56 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not that I don't think the Pats would have won anyway, but the current rules give a clear advantage to whoever wins the toss. When it comes down to it, they're given a touchdown "chance" that then denies the other team the same opportunity.
I watch college ball too, and those rules are clearly superior (though it'd be better if the ball started on the 50). Each team gets a chance, and then rules are set in place by the 3rd overtime preventing a night-long event.

I fail to see why a coin toss should decide which team gets a massive advantage by being able to win first without having to test their defense like the other team.

Probably because football requires each team to switch possession so overtime in itself is stupid. It only works with games like basketball and soccer where each team can score at any moment.
They should really make it like volleyball where you have to win by two scores while switching possession. The problem with American football is it's super hard to score when not in possession.

So, just to clarify....what would you change about the rules? Would you go with a CFB rule and start them each at the 25? Give them both a shot? I'm good with this but anything else would just be shit IMO.

Let both of the teams get chances to score..? I really don't understand how games being able to be decided on a coinflip could possibly be a better scenario than letting both teams have an equal opportunity in OT. What negatives are there to letting both teams get atleast one possession in OT?

All bias aside, I totally agree. Not just because the Patriots won, but I feel like in a game this big, both teams should have a shot at the endzone.
It's like in the NHL, they have shootouts in the regular season, but once playoffs come around, no shootouts.

So salty. Wouldn't be hearing any of this if the Falcons won.
People are acting like a TD is a sure thing... then why didn't the falcons score a TD on every drive?
I'd way rather have a walkoff TD then some shitty 4th down multiple lateral play.

Salty? I didn't give a fuck who won. I don't like either team. Maybe look past your bias and use some actual reasoning and realize that a coin flip giving a team a massive advantage is ridiculous.
Absolutely nobody is acting like this. Just because a TD isn't guaranteed doesn't mean the team doesn't deserve a chance.
Good for you buddy. Would you sing the same tune if the Falcons won the toss and ended up winning?

You didnt give a fuck who won, but your post history shows 3 comments in order saying "FUCK -- THE -- PATRIOTS". Keep telling that guy to look past his own bias though haha.
Would you be singing the same tune if the team you clearly hate had lost instead?
DLBork ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:50:12 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I already know what comments I made during the game. You don't need to remind me. I dislike the Patriots and I dislike the Falcons, and I was shitposting because the Patriots were getting handled. Would have done the same if the reverse was true.
Give me a single reason why there should be rules that give the winner of a coin toss should have a massive advantage an overtime. Just one.
The team I dislike did lose lmao there was going to be no happiness in any team winning for me. I had no team i was rooting for.
And considering I've always hated the rules and hate them even when it benefits a team I like, yeah I would have to say I'd be singing the same tune.

You don't understand. The rules have already been changed. It used to be that you only had to get a field goal and still win in OT. But now you have to get the touchdown. If Atlanta's defense had stopped them, everyone would have been singing a different tune, but they didn't.
This was also the first time it's gone to OT in Superbowl history. In 50 of them. That's saying something.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:36:08 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But only half the team needs to play in order to win. One team's defense needs to stop the other team's offense and then their offense needs to score a touchdown whereas the other team only needs to score a touchdown if they win the coin toss. I don't see the issue with college OT rules where each team gets at least 1 possession and the team with the higher score after that wins.
chicomonk ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:12:03 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Defense was on the field for over 100 plays.
Patriots defense was at an advantage; they stepped it up, were still fresh. Falcons defense was tired from getting shredded in the entire 4th quarter. The outcome would've been the same either way. If they had played another 15 minutes the Patriots would have won by 20.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:29:12 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And if the Falcons had won the coin toss and got a touchdown?
chicomonk ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:31:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Then you wouldn't be whining. The rules are the same for everyone, don't forget. Teams have taken offense first on the coin toss and lost.
Also, the way momentum was going, Pats D would have stopped the Falcons and Falcons D would have continued getting lit up.
Attifire ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:52:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just because some teams don't score a touchdown after winning the coin toss doesn't somehow negate the fact that they had a MAJOR advantage over the other team.
and the Falcons looked like they were unstoppable the first two quarters. Tides change and I don't see how this supports keeping poor overtime rules.

Yes? Why is it so fucking hard for some people to accept that some of us find it pretty fucking ridiculous that scenarios exist where a team doesn't get an equal chance in OT? That some of us find it bullshit that a great game can be ended on a coinflip, robbing us the chance to see more of a great game? Every single time it's "you're just salty because your team lost" is it really that hard to understand why some people have a problem with the idiotic OT rules?
I had no stake in this game, and I don't like either teams. Didn't give a shit who won. NFL OT rules are terrible.

Had Beasley intercepted and Atlanta went on to score from the resulting possession, would you argue that the Pats should have had another possession to make it fair?
DLBork ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:15:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Are you purposefully being dense? Both teams would have had one possession. The Patriots turned the ball over on their possession. The Falcons scored on theirs. That's fairness. Please explain how this relates to what I've said at all.
brown_paper_bag ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:20:51 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I just wanted to check because quite a few folks are saying that the other team should have a chance to answer the points scored, play the full 15 and whoever is up more wins, etc. So yes, I was purposely making my question ridiculous to see where you actually stood on it which is shootout style, essentially.
I agree that the OT rule is stupid as it is today and I am hoping that this game combined with Goodells hatred for the Pats actually does some good for the game.
Edit: Clarity
DLBork ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:24:29 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah I just find it ridiculous that both teams can't get a possession. I don't understand how there are some people who sit and try to justify it or deflect it by saying "maybe they shouldn't have gave up those points". It's just ridiculous and really makes no sense why they're sticking with the rules.
They don't gotta go shootout style like CFB, just give the other team a chance, damn.
brown_paper_bag ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:29:09 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't mean from the 35 like CFB. If the second team scores as well, it ends up like a shootout until one team fails to score.
The downside is that it could end up like a baseball game.

The overtime rules are absolutely terrible.
I have been arguing against it for years and Atlanta's team is the perfect example of the reason.
They are an offensive team. It makes no sense that both teams wouldn't get a chance to possess the ball.
I was saying it long before this game.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that likes the OT rules. I like the fact that there is still an element of sudden death. A championship defense should be able to hold a team to at least a FG. Those who say it is decided by a coin flip are wrong. It's much closer to 50/50 now that you need a TD. I still can't believe that comeback. This super bowl sure lived up to all of the championship games this year

I'm pinning this game on the running back that missed that block that led to the Ryan sack/fumble. He literally watched the defender run by him. That play completely flipped the momentum. It then became inevitable 'happy to be here' collapse.
Also stuffing the Falcons running game in the 2nd half was key. They ran the ball so well in the first half.

I think Julio's catch had way more skill involved, like Manningham's catch on the sideline in 2011.
Edelman's catch was just general fuckery like Tyree's catch.
Both are great, just in different ways. Julio is fucking unbelievable though.

That's the beauty of football. The offense and defense are so balanced that either team has an equal chance. I know in the 4th quarter defenses are more tired than the offense, but in general it is much more balanced than say a soccer shootout.

I had already typed out the "congrats Falcons" message by the end of the 3rd....and then the Patriots came from behind and restored my faith in humanity.
Absolutely one of the best games I've ever watched, and definitely a game full of NFL history.
So sad to see how piss poor the Patriots defense was up until OT. Brady had no pocket and couldn't connect ANY passes. Once OT hit and the defense stepped up, look at the difference in his completions.
What an incredible night.

Fuck no.

On top of that they basically list due to a coin toss.

We let Jones down, this http://streamable.com/1s3sv was supposed to be the winner. On NE'S 22 YARD LINE. Come on... easy field goal, ices this game. how the fuck did they manage to go from the 22 yard line to out of field goal range. That takes a special kind of dysfunction. 3 runs, field goal. Honestly I'd even just have taken 3 fking knees to drain the clock and score the FG. Patriots can't get 11 points in one possession (there would have been around 2 minutes left), it would have ended the game for sure. Even after our grand fuck up, I would have still kicked the 55 yard field goal, had a good chance to score, and if we missed it, Brady would've still scored on us anyways, at least we would've had more time to try to score before game ended. Horrible clock management, horrible. Snapping with 15 seconds left on each play. I'd be super pissed off if I was Julio

The biggest thing that hurt Atlanta was the fact that their defense couldn't get off the field. They got no pressure at all at the end of that game and Brady with 5 seconds is going to destroy any secondary.

They got gassed. They played an amazing game up front but were on the field for way too long. Downside of the offense's efficiency, and it ended up costing the game.

Every other time I've seen it brought up the main post is never as highly upvoted and the post that is about "well you shouldn't have given up ____" isn't nearly as upvoted. The complaints have been there, the amount of exposure is unlike any i can remember.
Striking_Gently ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:33:25 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Perhaps the amount of exposure is at the highest because it is stemming from the most watched game of the year? This is the first Superbowl to ever go into OT after all
bwells626 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:47:06 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
By exposure I mean the relative amount of upvotes. Yeah, these ones have 600 or so upvotes replying to 6k main comment, but normally it feels like a 100 main to 5 point reply ratio.
I just doubt if I looked 4 years into somebody complaining about the OT rules history that I'd see another post that was them complaining unless it was their own team losing.
I'm on record saying that the current OT rules are fair --we've had 5 ties since the rule change. Defense is a part of the game. Scoring a touchdown is less likely than people's kneejerk reactions are. I understand the complaint, I wouldn't mind seeing the postseason rules changed, but people are scapegoating the rules really hard here.
edit: I can't math. 1:20 ratio is not 100:20

Now don't get me wrong here, this was one of the greatest Super Bowls ever. One of my personal favourites.
But am I the only person thinking that this just exposed the NFL's flawed overtime system? I mean, the coin flip was just as valuable to the Patriots as Tom Brady was.
Wouldn't that game have been even better if the Falcons had a chance to score? Maybe trade points for a bit?

I haven't liked the way it is setup, but I think if it was reversed in the Falcons favor and Patriots fans complained about it they generally would be told to stfu and stop whining.
That being said, I would rather it be a full regular quarter where both teams can score multiple times.

How is it bareable that your AR12 could not accomplish what TB12 did? That the Pats came up in the end like so many times before besting the foe that dominantly wrecked your team? That's like saying it's bareable to get crushed by the second-best team who then choked to the best team. Doesn't that just emphasizes your being third and inferior to even the second-best?

uh huh. And why is it that this only comes up when the Pats win?
If Atlanta wanted to win they should've stopped the pats from scoring a TD. If they can't do that they don't deserve to win anyway. it's part of the fucking game.
broooooklyn ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:48:20 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Why did it come up? Because it's the biggest fucking game of the year where the stakes are at the highest.
I'm not taking anything away from the Pats - they played a heck of a game and came back to win it fair and square. But, in general, the basis of who gets the initiative in OT being based on a fucking coin flip is stupid. Both teams should get possession at least once.

Don't let the Patriots winning distract you from the fact that the Atlanta Falcons blew a 3 score lead at halftime of the Superbowl
Or the Cleveland Indians blew a 3-1 lead in World Series.
And don't let any of that distract you from the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the game tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck did they lose? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Ryan to be Super Bowl MVP and fix this Patriot domninated league.

This has been the first Super Bowl I've watched (from the UK) and I am super glad that I did. From what I can tell, it has been really historic for many reasons and what a match to be remembered. I always back the underdog, so having heard of the Patriots and Brady I backed the Falcons. However, that comeback in the final quarter was perhaps the best comeback I've ever watched and the Patriots fully deserved to win.
I reckon I'll be following NFL next season

Because the commissioner often makes decisions that the fans view as greedy or not for the good of the game. In particular many consider him to be unfairly tough on the Patriots and Tom Brady in particular. As the stadium had a lot of Pats fans, they booed the commissioner.
The commissioner gets booed a lot in North American sports. The baseball comissioner often got booed about labour unrest and the hockey comissioner is deeply loathed by their fanbase aswell.

In 2014 the Patriots were accused of deflating game balls below league regulations, after a long investigation, Roger Goodell the NFL commissioner, suspended Tom Brady for 4 games at the start of the 2016 season for his apparent role in what is known as deflategate.

And now to the Falcons. You are going to have to work ten times as hard to make up for the humiliating last two quarters of this game. You completely blew away a 25-point lead. Nobody is going to forget this defeat for a very long time.

A first down there kills another good portion of the clock. Devonta Freeman had MVP in the bag. Three more runs, a couple timeouts used and the 2 minute warning and you give them very little time to score, get a two point conversion and a field goal. Just unbelievable they were passing in that situation, they needed to make it a 2 possession game, not score a touchdown necessarily,

People will forgot the Pats threw the ball on the 1 or 2 yard line before running the ball to win. It would took a one handed catch from a linebacker for the INT.
I thought that toss play would have been stopped for a short loss.

I Drunkenly told everyone at half time to bet 10k on the patriots because they were going to win. Said if they could go into half time with being down less than 3 touchdowns then they would come back.
Man I wish I had 10k to bet....

Because scheme > talent
Basically, New England just plugs in random doofuses around Brady and plug in it and it works.
Seriously, is James White an average player at best on Miami or Minnesota?

Obviously the way many mediocre teams evaluate talent is flawed.
Vsuede ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 05:18:55 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not really. For one it starts with Brady's contract, and how the Patriots spend money. Where every other team is trying to plug in rookies, the Patriots are able to pay 28-29 year old veterans $2.5 million a year to do those jobs, because they do things like not signing Revis to a big contract.
Take for example their RB's - all four cost the Patriots about $4 million in cap space. That is less than the Cowboys are paying Elliot on his first deal.
It really isn't scheme from what you traditionally mean when you say that. The Patriots are the best at tailoring their system to the players on the roster.
They are also very well coached. Look what Scar did with an O-Line that was a massive weak point last year. They are second to none at developing talent. That is why they can take a QB from Kent State and turn him into one of the best receivers in the league, or take a Rugby player from Ohio State and turn him into a machine on special teams.

But 99% of scoring is done by a team's offense, and if you score a TD in overtime you win. That's a pretty clear advantage.
If you had an offensive shootout where both teams score on nearly every drive during the game, a coin toss would all but hand one team the win.

Not really, the Falcons played 3 quarters of amazing football, then blew the game completely by failing to run the football and kick a field goal.

It's easy to second guess after the fact. It's happened to Belichick a few times in his career - similar situations. I didn't see any press conferences, but I imagine the coaches thinking is he wants to put the ball in Matt Ryan's hands in that situation. You have one of the best QB's in football, who has been playing lights out all night. You trust him to make the throw, or throw it away and not take a massive sack.
By the way - it was the holding penalty in conjunction with the sack that moved them out of range - the sack alone they still might have kicked it.

Tom Brady now joins Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan to win five national championships. If Tom wins one more, he'll be the new Michael Jordan of greats. There are some articles now saying that he's the greatest player in modern sports, over Michael Jordan.

I think its hard to argue that Tom isn't the greatest sportsman in modern history, even without a 6th. He's the most dominant master of not only his position, but the game in the history of all sports.

Go ahead and down vote me but the Patriots are the luckiest team this season.. they face a texans team who won their division because the division is garbage and basically has no QB or offense.. then the steelers with no leveon bell, don't even show up.. then atlanta basically lets them come back... most fortunate team in a season i've ever seen.

Super salt. Patriots beat the best of the AFC, Falcons beat the best of the NFC. Patriots grind out one of the best comebacks of any sport of all time, finish with a 19-2 record (one loss that Brady wasn't even in for), and somehow that's luck. Maybe, just maybe, Brady and the Pats are good.

No question. Done-deal.

I still can't believe that happened. You know, I thought we were going to lose, but I kept watching because I love my team. I was completely fine losing when we were down 28-3 because we were getting outplayed. You guys have a ton of really great players and a fantastic organization.
I know what a big loss feels like. I will never get over 2007. There was a miracle catch in that game too, and although we never had a big lead, we were undefeated and on the precipice of something that had never been done. I wish there was something I could say to help, but the truth is that the pain never really goes away. Ill tell you what though, with the young team you guys have, chances are you'll be back at some point or another. The feeling of winning after a few crushing defeats is worth it.

A tale of two halves-what a game and that was absolutely incredible. I'm a pats fan and I am just numb right now.
Atlanta defensively played absolutely perfect. Grady Jarrett and Freeney are the patriots o line up. Was surprised to see so little of Lewis. They didn't rotate any players out and were absolutely gassed.
Brady played pretty poorly the first half but was a machine that second half,he was better than 49. I have never seen anyone play that well.
Blount played piss poor today.
That fumble on NE territory is a bad bad call. You have the ball on 3rd and 1 and you throw it?

Run, run, chip shot field goal to go up 11 with 3 mins. Run game solid all night.
Pass ending in penalty, pass ending is sack to get out of field goal range.
Paid millions of dollars and chose option 2. I literally cannot wrap my head around this. Great comeback for sure but game should have been sealed.
Also fuck overtime rules...such bs that other team can't rebuttal. Ridiculous since ATL could just as easily have marched down and scores a TD.

Matt Ryan "MVP" LOL what a fucking joke
Just like all year, Brady was far and ahead the better quarterback in every single measure possible, statistical and situational.
Glad that the world got to see what a true MVP caliber performance was tonight
To clarify: Ryan played exceptionally well, ascending beyond just great play. It was clinical and sharp, with little to no errors and only perfectly well placed bullets. But in no world did his performance even scratch at the echelon of performance put out by Brady tonight. Ryan is historically above average, and played great this year. Not anywhere close to MVP worthy. Seeing him struggle to come up with a play in the no huddle during the final 40seconds of regulation to get into field goal range.. Aaron Rodgers could've done it in 7 seconds

I've been calling this shit for days. Did y'all actually think the Falcons were gonna beat the Pats? Anytime we're at a tumultuous time in American history, the fucking Patriots win. See: 2001.
As a Panthers fan who's still salty about last year, I'm only more convinced that this shit is rigged.
[deleted] ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 04:40:14 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yea because America loves the Patriots so much that what everyone needs in times of trouble is to see the team that everyone shits on all the time win.
Good theory.

I personally think that starting at the 50 is too easy for NFL and would most likely yield a field goal on most possessions. I think 1 kickoff per team would be sufficient, really I just want both sides having a shot of scoring and not relying on a coin toss to get an advantage

honestly don't know if you are agreeing with me or being sarcastic. But to be fair the overtime rules should probably be changed to be more fair like each team gets a 1 possession rule. Great game though very enjoyable to watch.

Gonna interview for a job with the Texans next year to start a trend. There should be a position in football where someone just stands next to the head coach. Before the coach gives the green light on a playcall, he asks "hey what do you think about passing in this situation?"........ blank stare "don't get fucking cute out here, Kyle"

Damn. This was the first Superbowl I have not watched since I was like 7. I didn't think It would be that exciting. Turns out it is arguably the best super bowl ever. Talk about unlucky.

Nah 'cause we aren't blinded by hate. College football rules, the team who gets the ball 2nd has a 64% chance of winning because they don't have to decide to take a field goal or go for it on 4th, they just go for it.
But keep being butthurt crybabies.

Blame this one on reddit.....not on brady being a fucking goat or zebras getting payed to rig games in the 4th quarter. The coin was secretly switched before it was flipped and it was heads on both sides giving NE the ball no matter which side it landed on.

Must be nice having the same QB/coach legacy for the majority of your lifetime. I was a little late to enjoy Tom Landry...

Minus the falcons blowing it and the fact that I am a fan of neither team, the overtime rules need to change. Games should not be decided with the luck of the coin. Play the whole 15. If not the whole 15, drop it to 10 or 5. One score and done is not fair.

Atlanta's defense didn't show up at all for the second half, and their offense didn't show up at all for the fourth quarter.
The worst thing is the amount of personal credit Brady will get for this. The Patriots didn't win because of Brady. The Patriots won because they are the best coached team in the league. Even something as simple as wasting time outs: If Atlanta hadn't wasted all three second half time-outs, the offense might have got in a position to win with a FG at the end.

Giving one team's offense the chance to score but not the other is actually fucking ridiculous. An amazing game no doubt that could have played out to its fullest, but gets failed by a horrible system.

What an amazing sport American football is. The Patriots made all their mistakes and ran all their bad plays in the first half, and the Falcons made all their mistakes and ran all their bad plays in the second.
This could haunt the Falcons for a long time.

As a neutral observer, that was quite a game. The OT rules aren't the greatest though, personally I prefer the college rules.
Also, pure class on Ryan to hunt down Brady in the middle of the crowd just to shake hands

So apparently it's impossible to win the NFL MVP and the super bowl MVP. If the falcons would have won then Matt would have got it.
Was this the first game by a QB to have a perfect passer rating and lose the super bowl? Or did his rating go down before the end?

Sorry, Falcons fans, I did this.
A few years back, I watched my 1st Superbowl (and football match), joining late in the 4th quarter to see Seattle snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against the Patriots.
This is the 2nd football match I ever watch. I didn't even know it was on, I saw it on reddit and looked for a stream. Once again I joined in the 4th quarter with like 9 minutes left, and the Patriots scored 2 touchdowns to take it to OT.
Based on science, it seems like whenever I watch a Superbowl, the Patriots win against insurmountable odds within minutes.

nevermind the fact that for some reason, Atlanta kept snapping the ball with like 22 left on the playclock when they were up 28-3. Should have been running and bleeding clock. They clearly thought it would be a cakewalk and felt they didnt need to even worry.

Man alive the NFL overtime system has got to be the stupidest in professional sports. How about in hockey we only let one team shoot - if they score, they win. How about in basketball we just flip a coin and let one team make a free throw. If they make it, they win. Or in baseball they could just let one team bat, and if they score a run, they win. College football switched to a better system years ago.

Okay, not totally related but I wanted some input. Someone argued that the Falcons giving up a penalty to give the Patriots a first down was better than forcing a 4th down because "they (Pats) lost yards on the penalty" (They gained more yards on the play, but were short).
I have no clue whether a coach would actually look at it this way or not, but this was during the drive where Atlanta gave up countless 3rd down penalties before picking off Brady.

As a 49er fan, I was completely befuddled as to how we would (definitely) get hosed by our next coach being the winning OC in a land-slide in the super bowl. I knew it would screw us some how... but it just didn't add up.
That was in the third quarter.
Now that it's over, and I imagine his confidence is has been completely shattered, it all makes perfect sense.

[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:12:03 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah. The way I saw it was that was killed them was the four man rush and the limited front from cover 3. You saw Brady just was not getting the same type of pressure. Also, not to mention the flood routes opened up from cover 3 gifted like half the passes.

I feel like if the Falcons don't challenge that catch by Julian Edelman then you have a timeout left and probably still end up with the ball. Then you have a better chance.

Can we talk about that terrible call to throw the ball when in field goal range? If they kick that field goal to go up 2 possessions late in the fourth, I don't think the Patriots would have come back.

Yup, terrible play calling played a pivotal role in their loss, just like we saw from the Seahawks a few years back when they didn't hand it off to Marshawn Lynch from the 7 yard line.

dependablethrowaway ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 06:06:01 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Brady throw for over 400 yards, had a 95 QB Rating, and led the team to basically 2 back to back nearly perfect drives resulting in TDs/2 pt conversions that sealed the win.
If that's not MVP I don't know what it is.
Phynamite ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 06:12:05 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He was also a huge reason they were down to begin with. 2 drives doesn't make up for the first half.

There were also a lot of drops in the first half. The pick six was bad, but at that point things were going south, none of the receivers were really making plays, and he was trying to force it in while Atlanta inexplicably broke their coverage.

Yes it does, because they were drives that were needed to win the game. Those are the most valuable drives of the game.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:25:47 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I had it equal between the 2 so having Brady get it wasn't that bad. The touchdowns he had rushing were from Tom Brady getting it to the 2 yard line. Both guys were pivotal in what just happened and it wouldn't have happened without either of them, but I wouldn't consider it a robbery even though I personally would've given it to white. Especially when you factor in he was the third option to start the game... insanity.

My buddies made a bet when the pats where down by 21. The bet was 3:1 odds in favour of the Falcons. It made us all stop and think which we valued more, seeing our one outspoken Packers fan lose 75 bucks or not having to watch the pats win. It made the game more interesting seeing the room cheer for both sides rather than just one but now that the games over I'd have rather see the Falcons win one. It still felt good seeing the astonishment on his face when they lost though.

But a bunch of dudes who all look like they are stroking cocks and looking happy while doing it doesnt allow many other adjectives to come to mind.
The fact that strayhan had the trophy at the low level he did, and the goofy assed look on his face just added to the gay porn montage.

One of the greatest Superbowls I've watched - completely exceeded my expectations coming into this (the prediction for the tv ratings was really low).
This has to cement TB as the GOAT.
If what I heard about his mother is true, then hope she had a good time witnessing the game and wish her a speedy recovery.

neeves92 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:13:48 on February 21, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Its a well known fact that after Brady's suspension was tossed out by Judge Berman for lack of evidence, the reason it kept going after that was because it stopped being about air in a football and it started being about article 46 in the CBA which says Goodell can do whatever he wants for whatever reason.
The NFL couldn't prove TB did anything so they went with the "well I can still do whatever I want because you gave me that power" route and suspended him anyways.

Its sudden death man. Its OVERtime. The rules are such because the game is supposed to be over. Pats earned the fuck outta that win, everyone knows the rules, defense has to get a stop and they couldnt.
And im not simply biased, Pats lost a game in similar fashion against the Jets last year but the defense was to blame for not getting the stop, as it was tonight. That being said, I wouldnt mind if the league took a look at it, if its possible theres a better way, but I dont like people implying the ending of the game wasnt fair or something, thats how overtime has always worked.

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken tendies and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken tendies out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the score tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck did they lose? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want the Falcons to be the Champions and lead the NFC South. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought they were for sure going to win. This is so fucked.

Still think it's hilarious they were getting all of the right calls, Falcons having almost three holds in a row, then that hold on the pats DE, but then they miss the obvious facemask on the same play when ATL had momentum. ATL shit the bed, but it would have been crystal clear without that missed call

That's not related to what I'm saying. I'm just disappointed that they reffed so well up until the critical moment where the Falcons had gotten their first momentum started up in the second half, but were stopped by a hold, yet on the same play the pats committed a facemask. It would have extended their drive and they most likely would have gone up 35-11. But regardless, the pats played well and there are only what ifs about

The sheer level of plastic Patriots fans I've seen openly saying they've changed allegiance to them further pushes me away from ever properly following the NFL, it's just downright mindboggling to see.
The pain the Falcons fans feel right now is something those plastic fans will never ever get to experience, and they'll never feel the elation of winning or understand the true pain of loss, they'll simply join in like the kid who doesn't quite understand the joke but laughs to feel included. Falcons fans should take solace in the fact you have a team you care dearly for.

Tom Brady is the Quarterback.
Simplistically, he throws the ball.
A little more complex version: He reads the defense, commands the personnel around him, reacts to the situation and then executes the offense.

Is it widely agreed upon he's a cheater? Or is this the angst speaking in people?
Also going down the line with the trophy, I saw a player holding his daughter. That's downright adorable that he'd want his daughter there with him during what's probably one of the biggest nights in his life.

But this was the biggest collapse in NFL history. Yes there have been bigger deficits but this was the friggin Super Bowl.
My heart go's out to Falcons fans. As a Bronco fan, XLVIII was painful and pathetic but we got our asses handed to us by a better team. The Falcons shat the bed like no bed has ever been shat and I can't imagine how painful it must be.

NicolasCageHatesBees ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 07:33:14 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I never said this game was. In fact, I've been saying this same statement for years. This game is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Pats had an amazing comeback. Nobody can take that away from them. However, why do they deserve the win? Just because they were down? Just because they had the momentum? Bullshit. If they deserved the win, they would have won it in regulation (or at least gotten a stop after scoring in OT). In the end, they won by way of coin toss. Yes, they were the ones that scored after they won the toss, but not making them finish it is stupid. I'm not saying the Falcons would have marched down the field and scored themselves, but we don't KNOW they wouldn't have, so not giving them the chance is fucking stupid.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:17:22 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

Well it definitely doesn't put you you in a equal advantage if you lose the coin toss. I guess though they both are relying on equal shades of luck. All you have to do is hope you win the coin toss, execute and the game is yours. The other team depends on luck in hoping that you screw up badly. Because otherwise they have no chance of winning. So it's kind like a grand display not screwing up.

For everyone defending the overtime rules saying the Falcons shouldn't have blown the lead, the game was tied after 60 minutes and that's what matters. I'm not a fan of either team (This is the only game I watched all year) Imagine a baseball game going into extra innings and if the away team scores first the game's over. The home team wouldn't even get a chance to bat. This is essentially the NFL's overtime rules and it's bullshit.

I'm sorry this superbowl was so staged I might as well start watching pro wrestling again. Falcons weren't even trying to run out the clock at the beginning of the 4th quarter. And then that miracle fumble and recovery by New England to drive it down the field.
And then there was last drive by the falcons where they could of just run out the clock with some runs and then field goal. Man if this is where the nfl has gone, or maybe has been, I'm glad I don't waste my time watching it anymore.

It's going to blow up on the media and people are going to get lots of money off of it. I had family members at the bar coming home who came to the same conclusion before we even talked.

Everything about it was too convient, Falcons have a huge lead. They fumble at the begining of the 4th, falcons drive it down into field goal range and instead of running they go for throwing and get hit back and just dig themselves deeper to a punt. Patriots score get a two point conversion and then win in ot. Like it all too sureal, you say its dumb I say it was on purpose. Just look at all the hype and attention, don't you think the nfl stand to PROFIT more off of an exciting staged super bowl, or a real game that ends in a boring landslide victory.

I hate when people consider Brady the greatest. He always had talent around him. (Like Lebron) I don't think people give Peyton enough credit. He never had an outstanding defense until his final years. If he had the talent Brady had, there would be no question. Then again this is coming from a University of Tennessee fan. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in on Brady.

Tom Brady gets the same stats at his old age that Rodgers got his best years more or less. Tom Brady has the same type of stats but has the X factor with much more wins on average and super bowls (which is what really matters). I think Rodgers is more athletically gifted for the position but there's more to it than that and Brady blows him away in that aspect. Im sorry but I don't trust anybody to be in the situation the pats were in today and to come out with the win besides one person. And it's not Rodgers.

This particular game, sure. But when you have a team that's shown up in 7 of the last 10 super bowls that is a problem with the league itself. The rule I propose is that the winning teams from each division have to trade a player over a certain salary to the worst team in their division.

glswenson ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 04:19:25 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, I want every team to have a level playing field. The fact is there are teams that will never go to a superbowl. Browns, Jaguars, Rams, Chargers. These are just trash organizations and we're going to just keep seeing the same 5-10 teams or so rotating in and out of championships.
Patriots, Steelers, Packers, Broncos, Giants. These teams will always be in contention for as long as the NFL exists.
It's the same thing for me as an NBA fan. I live in Portland so I am a fan of the blazers. We have no hope of ever winning because nobody wants to move to this city. Free agents just refuse. There needs to be rules to stop that practice and allow lower tier teams to at least remain competitive.
brown_paper_bag ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:42:43 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Do you know that the Patriots haven't always been a good team? They used to be underdogs.
The Browns made playoff appearances for most of the 80s, the Rams made numerous playoff appearances in the 70s,80s, and early 2000s, and the Chargers have had their fair share of playoffs in the mid-late 2000s. And did you forget that Belichick coached the Browns?
Life isn't fair and neither are sports. And I say this as a life long Leafs fan...a team that hasn't won a Stanley Cup since 1967. If you want to talk basketball, I'm a Raptors fan who only recently learned what it felt like to have our team in the playoffs. I can talk baseball, too, if you'd like. Sure, the Jays won back to back in 92/93 but we've not won a World Series since. We've had some great seasons recently as well but the 20 years in between sucked.
If you want fair teams in sports, maybe you shouldn't watch any games involving people over the age of 5. You are absolutely ridiculous.
glswenson ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:40:49 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
All of those playoff runs wouldn't have happened if there was that rule in place. I understand that it does happen and I understand it's just a part of the sport but it doesn't have to be.
NFL viewership is going down quick and this is one of the major reasons people are citing as not watching. This year's superbowl performed less than last yesrs, which had less viewers than the one before, etc. Some people who were asked said that the players protesting made them not watch, but others said it was because the game seemed noncompetitive or boring to watch.
You may just fundamentally disagree with me and in your opinion this isnt a problem that needs to be fixed. But in my opinion it's a problem. That's the disconnect for us.

Appreciate the fanbases acting like they know how this feels, but stop...you don't.
You couldn't know what the first overtime loss in superbowl history feels like, because it was the FIRST overtime loss in superbowl history.
You couldn't know what it feels like to blow a 21 point lead in the superbowl because no team has ever blown a 21 point lead in the superbowl.
It is really fucking easy to root for a bad team. I went to Georgia Tech and we are bad a lot of the time. It is really fucking easy to accept a blowout, because it wasn't your year.
In order to understand this loss you've got to want it more than anything, you've got to be able to taste it, and then you've got to have it taken away from you.
You do not know this pain, and I hope you never do.

As a fan of team "winning will piss off everyone else" I am super happy with the results. The smugness of the first half only to have it slowly sucked away until it all gets crushed in such an unbelievable fashion. I haven't been this hard at a sports result since Phil Kessel became a Stanley Cup champion.

Before the game today, I found a nearby Dunks and got a few donuts (I live in Vegas, so it's not a regular thing out here).
As the Pats got behind, I forgot about the donuts. In my sadness I ate one, and then Hightower stripped Ryan. I ate another one when the Pats had 3rd and 10 with like 2m40s left. I ate the last one at the OT coin toss.
I'm eating DDs every time the Pats play until the day I die.

Because, if Brady goes 4-3 in Super Bowls, as ridiculous as it sounds, his legacy would always be questioned. At 5-2 he is unquestionably the greatest QB of all time, and he still has a chance to add to that total.
This is also now unquestionably the greatest dynasty in NFL history. This level of success, in the salary cap era, is unparalleled.
Plus, I feel like people in New England care a lot more about professional sports than people in Georgia. I imagine a significant people in Georgia prefer CFB to the NFL.

Yes, many European countries for example. Japan too, and certainly many other developed countries as well. But the NFL teams would without any doubt wipe the floor with the amteurish teams in Europe.

imstaceysdad ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 04:33:54 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I would say the exact opposite for that reason, personally. I don't think it makes sense to say world champs when there is only one country represented in the league and that country is the only one to play at that level.
For example, there is the AFL in Australia for Aussie rules and they don't say World Champions.
But agree to disagree.

Crackback block https://imgur.com/gallery/h14bR Apologies for recording odd tv. But watch Edelman go into motion and block the outside linebacker. This idea of going into motion with only having intentions to get a running start to block a linebacker is illegal. It seals the edge and is unsafe for the linebacker

I will never call him the greatest. At some point you have to take into consideration the teams he's been on and the caching staffs he's had. Sooo much help his entire career.
It's just going to be annoying having to hear about this shit the rest of my life. Please retire, for the sake of reality checking fuckheads that make the football season at times unbearable.
Edit: I'll take the heat but it's true. Not saying he's not top 5 ever but give other QBs in history what he's had and you would say the same about them. What his teams have been able to do is not all because of him. Defense could largely be attributed for winning at least 3 of those SBs.

I think it's entirely possible that Manning, Brees or Rodgers could've won 5 super bowls with Belicheck and the Patriots. But Brady's really held up his end of the bargain these past 2 super bowl runs and especially the end of this game. So I don't know if those 3 would necessarily be better so I'm fine putting Brady as #1.

When people talked about Belicheck "taking away" players, I didn't know they meant it in such a "bountygate" kind of way.
That was the momentum swing: two back-to-back "sudden" injuries to key Atlanta players, followed by some sketchy spotting around the endzone lines.

tapesmith ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 04:26:17 on February 6, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, I mean, there's a nice long track record of Belicheck cheating around Super Bowls and championship games...sooooo...pretty natural to draw a trend line from a nice healthy set of data points.
And it's established history that he takes from other team's playbooks -- so it's not hard to see him taking from the Saints' dirtiest playbook.
What's the best way to ensure you get "revenge" for being punished for cheating last year? Do whatever it takes -- legal or otherwise -- to win.

Are you retarded? I'm a Giants fan but Brady has cemented himself as the greatest ever after this win. There's no amount of play calling or drills or conditioning that can make someone perform to his level in a clutch situation. Most people couldn't have picked up a football after being 25 points down much less perform like that.

The pats had an entire fucking drive based solely on defensive PI calls. Yea, Shanahan should have called run, but fuck. As soon as it was out of hand, here come the defensive PI calls.

You had a 25 point lead.... And lost. Stop. Blame your team, blame Brady, blame bill blame James White, pure luck who knows but the refs are far off that list
