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

[NE_Zealot]

As a previous poster mentioned it's time to use that cap space and push all the chips to the middle of the table for the rest of the Brady years. I don't care if they strap themselves for the Post-Brady era.

 

[Big-T]

As bad as the first half was, it's still somehow better than this HT show.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I need to reheat my pizza bites.

 

[Galeb]

Couldn't be any worse than this!

It can always be worse

 

[varjao]

Now we have to deal with this ***** giants fan lady Gaga, **** this ugly face

 

[Froob]

I've loaded up on vod and ready for the comeback. Get ready for history fam.

 

[stcjones]

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.

They will have a lot of time to reflect on this stinker.....

It's hard for me to be mad at James White because he was so good in Lewis' absence, but that guy has no shiftiness and he can't break a tackle. Blount looks like last season's version. So much for overpowering the smaller D. If anything, they've done nothing but overpower NE. And Lewis has not done anything with the VERY few chances he's gotten. I don't know what I've seen. I'm just stunned.

 

[TomPatriot]

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

Not just the OL.

 

[BritPat]

Any good Netflix recommendations?

The Expanse is really enjoyable. Binge-watched the first series last night. Wish I'd left some for tonight, to be honest.

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

A massive change needs go happen at the pee wee level on o-lines.

You can't block 4 on 5 or worse, 3 on 5?

You get benched. Period. I'm tired of seeing none elite ends or tackles beating lines down a man.

It should never happen at the pro level. Like ever.

Especially with guys like Dwight Freeney who is like 50 years old,yet his spin move is still effective against this OL

 

[TBR]

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

True, unfortunately. Makes me sick that I even have to think about the Pats needing something like that.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

It's going to be OK everyone.....just dance.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

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.

Vrabes I wouldn't count on any specific mechanism... that one's as good as any though

Yeah we need some kind of momentum turner to take the piss out of 'em

60 minutes

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Please don't let this be what sends me off the edge... I've been considering it for a year now...

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

We can get on blount all we want but tommy has had some awful ints lately in superbowls. I

 

[ensoul]

Sorry but the pats played cupcakes in the playoffs as well as the regular season. Texans suck and with no Bell the Steelers are an average team at best. They are playing a real team and getting manhandled.

 

[mosi]

They need to get the Falcons in 3rd and long and get pressure. That is how the Eagles beat them. And honestly, that is how the Falcons are beating the Pats now. Stopping the run and forcing Brady in lots of 3rd and long situations.

 

[Brady6]

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

People act like a team could never score 21 points and give up just 3 in a half of football. Even though that is what happen in this game. That's all we have to do and this is a tie game.

Get a stop on the opening drive, score a touchdown and we are right back in this.

 

[luuked]

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.

Hightower will be tagged, Solder is still under contract. If they want Bennett and Dola they will be back with the latter on a new contract.

You are making it more dramatic than it really is.
