Shut up mate

Whatever racist

 

[‘Mondre]

Ultimate team win.

Defense got shredded the majority of the game...the offense kept stalling and committing turnovers as well.

Took every player to come back, but yes White deserved the MVP

Na I’d say it’s ultimate white and McDaniels win but nice try.

Things that stood out to a foreigner (my wife) watching the game for the first time:

1. Brady is her favorite player. She loved his resilience.
2. The Falcons were too prideful all along...she said it was in their body language
3. Belichick's focus was impressive. He never lost his cool
4. So many different people made the win happen. Without any one of them, the team loses

It was cool to see it through her eyes for the first time. I'm not sure she still believes what she just saw.

I should have turned this into a YouTube series

Does she understand football basics, how the game is played?

Does she understand football basics, how the game is played?

I'd say she's 60% there. A lot of the nuances escape her and will just take time. She watched about 10 games this season, the 2018 AFCCG vs the Chiefs and SB LI today. She's still early in her football experience. She understands how points are scored, down and distance, basic penalties...

Also, I feel like, watching the Pats is accelerating her IQ. BB makes all kinds of decisions and adjustments that compel you to learn other parts of the game quickly.

You need to get her to a live game. The odd thing with my wife is she absolutely loves attending Pats games but I seldom can get her to sit in front of the TV for one.

We definitely want to go. Sadly, I will likely be overseas for the upcoming season...again

I remember watching this game and complaining after it got to 28-3 and my grandma (who was a Seahawks fan) told me never count Brady out. Turns out she was right! What a memorable game to watch!
