OT: Patriots win another Super Bowl
That's the biggest choke job I have ever seen in professional sports. It's easily the biggest choke job in the history of the Super Bowl.

This is way worse than what Seattle did a few years ago. The Seahawks made one bad decision. This was about 10 of them in a row.

Congratulations to New England for taking advantage of Atlanta's boneheaded game management, but they should've never been anywhere near in position to steal that game.

This is going to devastate that franchise. They'll never be back to the SB again as long as Blank is alive.

I'm not even an Atlanta fan and I feel sick to my stomach for them. I cannot imagine how sick I would feel if I were an actual Falcons fan.

Of course NE can make the same claim. Blount's fumble and Brady's INT pick-6 gave Atlanta 14 points. Bottom line is it was a phenomenal football game between two incredibly talented teams, that went to OT.

RE: OT: Patriots win another Super Bowl
I posted this on the Rice board too but there was a key play that no one is talking about. Right before New England's 1st TD when they were down 28-12 (and 1st of their 2 2-point conversions), there was a 3rd down pass to Malcolm Mitchell where he basically stopped after he caught the ball even though no one touched him (and he sort of downed the ball on the ground after the catch). Fox Sports showed one replay but that was it and the Patriots scored 1 or 2 plays later.

I swear on the replay it looked like Mitchell dropped the ball and I thought for sure Atlanta would challenge it. But no they didn't even though it would have negated a 1st down and set up a 4th down and long. I sure would like to see that play again. That's the play of the game if it truly was a drop, but maybe I'm wrong because Fox Sports never showed it again on the broadcast.

That's the biggest one in a Super Bowl but not the biggest in NFL postseason.

Don't feel bad for them, they've only been fans a few weeks.

I told my wife right before the play they should run that fake kneel down that wkcc ran in the bowl game. And then I went holy **** they actually did it. She then got up and left the room.

My wife hates me for being able to say exactly the same thing a broadcaster says right before they say it or call out the play before a team runs it. Some things are just that predictable (though that one even surprised me) but she really despises me for it.

I believe they had already scored a touchdown at that point (and missed the extra point).
But I noticed Mitchell basically placed the ball on the ground beside him without being downed. Never saw a great replay, but it looked like when the Faclons player approached him and he grabbed the ball back. Not sure if the falcons recovered the ball anyway. If they didn't, no reason to challenge.

She'd really hate being a Marshall fan where toddlers in the stands can predict what we're going to do next. 25,000 at a game and 25,000 plus the other team's defense are suddenly Nostradamus.

03-lmfao I started calling Marshall's plays to keep myself entertained during the WKU game. And I was right 80% of the time 03-lmfao

Fans in Atlanta are sick
The Curse has been transferred from Chicago to Atlanta.

I do not even blame one player.

This is totally on the coaches. Even with the Pat's come back

We just kick a field goal in the last 3 min. we still win.

But our great OC tells Matt to drop back and pass...he gets sacked

next play a penalty game over.

You run the ball 2 times there, kick a field goal and Atlanta wins

That would be way too generous to both teams and not a particularly honest assessment of what actually transpired.

New England's mistakes were physical and common to the sport. Conversely, Atlanta's mistakes were mental and completely self-inflicted. The decisions made at the end of the game were bizarre.

There is no excusing away what the Falcons did there. People will certainly try – like you are doing now – but it's just not an honest assessment of what actually happened.

It was completely crazy to run the ball five times in the last quarter-and-a half while trying to protect a large lead. There is just no rationalization on this earth that can explain that boneheadedness.

There is a perfectly plausible reason for Atlanta's collapse. They wear red uniforms, they were playing in Houston, it was a critical football game,...

Houston fans know-

They COUG'ed IT! LOL

OT: Patriots win another Super Bowl
The best analogy I can draw is I have a friend who is a big New York Mets fan.

He has always felt that Mookie Wilson has been short changed on the infamous/famous Bill Buckner error.

He believes that Mookie Wilson doesn't get enough credit for hustling down the first base line which, as he points out, caused Buckner to rush, which caused the gap in his fundamentals, that led to his legendary error.

That's all true but at the end of the day an experienced first baseman let a ground ball go through his legs and that cost his team the World Series.

This is Atlanta's version of that and this is way worse because it was not one bad play in a moment. Rather, it was a period of obscenely stupid decision making that lasted seemingly forever and ultimately cost them a world championship.

You have to understand that their bad decision-making did not begin after the Julio Jones catch. They had been making crazy decisions for most of the fourth quarter.

I distinctly remember saying to the group I was with immediately after Jones's amazing catch that the Falcons were going to win the Super Bowl in spite of their doing everything in their power to lose it.

I assured everyone around me that they were going to go run the football, force New England to use its remaining timeouts, and kick the field goal to make it a two score game.

In my mind, that would have been an insurmountable lead and the game would have been over. I never dreamt that they would risk anything there. I was so confident because it was the only strategy that made any sense. It was a virtually guaranteed score with almost no risk – to salt away the Super Bowl.

At that point of the game, a touchdown and a field goal were functionally the same thing – a two score lead. It made no sense at all to risk anything there – for all the reasons we saw.

That wasn't a case of Shanahan being aggressive, that was Shanahan being flat out stupid.

You can credit the Patriots if you'd like because they took advantage of it. However, from my perspective, just as was the case in 1986, this game was decided by the goat, not the victor.
