Went back and read the SB51 thread.

This was before I was on the forum, I wanted to see what you all were saying during 28-3 and jeez Most of you obviously thought it was over but some of you thought we were going to get blown out like the broncos in SB48. I remember I stopped watching it at halftime but turned it back on when we got a touchdown.

I remember when it was 28-3... I said to my son, “They can still do it... but they’ve gotta shut down the Falcons the rest of the way.” Even when Gost shanked the XP, I thought... down 19. That’s 3 scores.

Man, we have had it GOOD.

Had em right where we wanted them, I wasn’t worried

Oh, in the game day thread people probably gave up when Blount was stopped short on 3rd and one on the first series

I graduated from the same high school as Falcons K Matt Bryant (though we weren't in school at the same time) and we've spoken multiple times over the years. I used to see him at the gym from time to time before he had a full time kicking position with Tampa Bay.

So when the Pats were down 21-0, and especially 28-3, I was at peace. I certainly wanted the Pats to win, but I just figured it wasn't there day, and I was happy that someone from my town was going to have a ring.

I refused to get excited when the comeback started. I wasn't being negative, just wasn't going to get all excited for what probably ends up falling short. I mean, what are the odds?

Not until the Amendola catch in OT. At that moment, I realized "Oh my God, we're going to win this game!" Still so amazing.

Go back and read the SB51 game day thread on opposing team forums when it was 28-3 and the comeback began.
Jets, Steelers, Bills etc .
Delicious.
Although there was some pretty disturbing posts on the Jets forum if I recall. Lol.

At the time I was a student at Auburn and Auburn, AL is about an hour from atlanta and I knew my friends were going to be giving me a hard time the next day.

Here’s just one delicious morsel..

My brother and I are the ever optimists and although we thought they were running out of time we still felt like it was still possible. I went with him outside while he was letting his ailing dog do her thing and my nephew came out and said, " Hightower just strip sacked Ryan ". After that it was on.

After watching Brady and crew do their thing all these years I almost expect something magical to happen now.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I was at the game and was honestly thinking about leaving early, but at halftime some kid told me we were going to come back. I then thought, "Why not, we have a shot with Belichick and Brady"...Boy, am I glad I stayed, unlike Mark Wahlberg who had a "family emergency."

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Remember... that’s the GAME DAY THREAD.

I was on GTD all game.

In all modesty, I was the KING of staying positive and believing we could do it.

Took all kinds of abuse for it. But everything turned out okay.

Down 25 points in a Super Bowl where seemingly nothing is going their way and a historic comeback is required just to force overtime. You can't fault people for being pessimistic. What unfolded, we may never see again.

No one saw it coming which, of course, is why it was so great

When it was 28-3, I stopped drinking beer, and cracked open a bottle of Maker' Mark. They kept scoring,so I kept drinking. It was a great finish, both the game, and my sobriety. Actually, even with the drinking, I was pretty alert through the game, and afterward during the ceremonies, though my wife said my volume kept rising, both me hollering, and raising the TV volume. The only thing I did wrong, apparently, was try to stand up afterward. I don't remember that part, but my wife did. I woke up asleep on the floor, with a blanket dropped over me. Sigh.

But no matter the score, I stick around and watch. I wear the laundry, and I'll be faithful to my team as long as I have breath.

At 28-12 I could envision something, but at 20-28 and after the Jones's catch, I started to get Tyree and Kearse syndrome and my stand became shaky, very shaky. Then Trey happened and I got

After Edelman’s catch, l just went with it. There was a higher power involved

I'm afraid to know what I said. I was under-the-influence of cupcakes.

I was watching the game with the kiddos and I do remember consuming 5 chocolate raspberry cupcakes with cream frosting my daughter made at 28-3, 28-9, 28-12, 28-20 and 28-28.
