Official Game Day Thread- Super Bowl LI - Pats vs Falcons

[Le Numéro Douze]

We can do this. Will be difficult, nearly impossible, but I believe it can happen. The fat lady hasn't opened her mouth yet.

 

[Kdo5]

Brady has started more Super Bowls than Garoppolo has quarters, your suggestion is just play ridiculous.

Brady isn't being helped. He tossed a terrible INT, but he is getting drilled and his receivers are being held.

 

[A man named Brady]

This team has a serious problem running the ball in the postseason when they're not facing Indys garbage defense.

 

[Halifax_Pats_Fan]

They are in tough tonight man, Atlanta is the real deal, obviously.

At this point I just want pride to kick in. Come out swinging in the second half. Fight, don't lay down...one drive at a time....the hell with the score, produce.

Brady in SB's just continues to get mauled man.

Come out swinging.....and let the chips fall where they may...

 

[luuked]

The only hope is to hold them to a couple FGs. And at least 1 turnover.

A successful onside kick is another option, but Belichick would have to be pretty damn ballsy to try that.

At this point the Falcons will play all kick-offs with an eye on an on-side kick.

 

[VrabelJr]

I'm sure someone else has brought this up already, but, after half time the Falcons offense will have not been on the field for about an hour and a half. I like our chances against a stale offense.

 

[Jangles]

We're getting blown off the field

Sigh

 

[DefenseRules]

I am not a gaga fan

 

[ViperGTS]

We are gonna have to spend our $ and go all in next year or Brady will never get his 5th. It's all or nothing. Spend that $.

Next year team will be without:

Ryan
Hightower
Bennett
Amendola
? Solder (contract?)
Sheard
Long

I really don't know how they fix this. Haven't looked at FA and maybe Bill has targets already.

 

[sambam94]

I agree. And I know it technically is not over, but the Patriots just don't look like they have any heart. Seriously, that's what is bothering me more than the score.

it's a game of momentum...OL not doing their job is the prime reason for the score

 

[varjao]

Ok came home right now, was at a friend's house and that was the cause of this meltdown, now I'm wearing my luck hat.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

What the heck's bill telling his team at halftime? They stunk up the joint. Idk if this defense can pitch a shutout in the second half.

 

[Mogamedogz]

Any good Netflix recommendations?

 

[stcjones]

The line has been coached up and been great most of the year. They will make their adjustments.

Down by 18.....very hard to come back from this deficit

 

[TBR]

A minimum of 1 turnover from this defense while keeping it clean on offense is absolutely mandatory for any shot at a comeback.

A FG from Atlanta on this opening drive would be horrible for momentum. Has to be a punt or turnover.

 

[pwes]

I don't think Brady will go down like this. I expect a comeback and a tight game in the second half.

I dont think so either. I just hope its enough in the end.

 

[Mix]

There isn't much to say about that first half, it was one of, if not the worst half I've seen them play under Belichick. Atlanta completely out-played and out-coached them in all three phases of the game to the point where it is hard to be even a little optimistic about a comeback.

Anything is possible with Brady leading the team but they have to come out of the locker-room like a completely different team if they want to even make this game somewhat competitive and probably need a couple fortunate bounces on top of that if they are going to win.

 

[DefenseRules]

We're getting blown off the field

Yes they are and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Right, and for the 100th time McDaniels we are NOT GOING TO OVERWHELM THEM WITH INSIDE DRAWS.

 

[luuked]

The Pats look completely clueless. John looks like he has no idea what is going on.

This is the same plan that the Giants used against the Pats in 2 SB's..why does he not think that the NFC teams don't talk.

Time for Josh to go.

Chandler and Collins would look good in the uni now.

Think I hit like 3 or 4 fields with that one post here. Also thanks for making it easy to add you to the ignore list.
