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

At least I'm drunk enough to go through this.

...just continue to complete....thats all....compete.....

Freudian slip.

God I hope we can just not drop anything the rest of the game. You know, because it will help a lot with the miraculous comeback victory

Hindsight, @shmessy..

Your only other TE is playing on a fractured ankle. All it takes is one Atlanta player falling into his legs or tackling him awkwardly.

In a game like that an additional receiver wouldn't have made any difference anyway.

Nope, I wrote about it pregame. Brady needs the weapons,

...just continue to complete....thats all....compete.....

Unfortunately they can't complete $!@! tonight.

If we score 3 tds in the 4th than we got this

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE

Total panic move.
I thought we learned from Nate Ebner/Philly last year that cute onsides kicks only insult our offense and give the other team great field position.

@QuantumMechanic
Our D is playing well. Give them a chance. Atlanta is clock melting mode. I would say try and pin them hope for a TO. The conversion rate on an onside kick is low (and not enough data to say how well a "surprise" onside kick would work).

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Well Bad Brady threw a pick 6. In the Super Bowl.

That was another thing we could claim Manning did but not Brady. We bashed Manning for it and I'll bash TB for it.

Thing is that play never happens if they call the 15 yards for slamming Lewis on the play before

Atlanta has been the better team. Tip of cap.
Right now I'm embarrassed for the Patriots coaching and offense. Screen to Bennett with 15 seconds and 20 yards from the endzone? Then Jules drops a sure big play? They then saunter on their TD drive, no hurry up, taking almost half a quarter. Gost misses the extra point. Then did they realize they need hurried up scores so they call a desperate onside kick...that Gost screws up.

You get beat you get beat. But god d%#*!@t I expect the Patriots to make good decisions and play as good as they can and execute as best they can. Not happening! But tip of the cap to the D. Against a potent Falcon D they've tried hard and done alright. This is on the O and the brain trust for being down as much as they are.

Good call! Forgot I had scotch!

 

[DefenseRules]

White has been good, the only guy on offense that has really showed up today.

Who would have ever thought that James White would be the best player on offense?

 

[primetime]

The only saving grace is that ATL is the only likeable NFC playoff team. If it had to be someone, better them than any of the others.

Yup, exactly. It sucks, I'm sad, but I can't begrudge it too much.

 

[PittPatriot]

Chung is playing a great game today.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Can we speed up this time

 

[Patriot Missile]

Without Blount's fumble and no pick six we are...???

2 teams play here. Sometimes the other team makes great plays on turnovers too. Nature of the beast.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

I feel like I should be really upset but I'm just kinda laughing it all off.

...can I have have some too?

 

[BradyMoss812]

Time to go Nascar offense.

 

[pherein]

need 16pts here than another stop and 23pts by the 5 min mark

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Unbelievable, guy just kicked Mitchell on the way to pointing to claim he was out of bounds...

 

[neuronet]

Maybe pkay wiith a freakin sense of urgency. Take your time getting to the line
