You were the better second half team, but Atlanta destroyed your team in the first half. You, me, and Atlanta all thought this game was over until Freeman whiffed on the sack fumble. That gave you guys a chance, and you ran with it. If they run the ball up the middle on third down and kick the...

Yeah, I think you guys had the ball around 40mins that's insane. They were definitely gassed at the end of the 4th and OT. I can't believe we were in FG range and decided to throw it after that ridiculous catch by Julio. That was when I knew the game was over. If we kick the FG there, you lose...

Definitely. Atlanta thought they broke your spirit, and so did I. As soon as I saw the defense playing a soft zone and the offense playing much less aggressive, then I knew it was about to get interesting. It's the same exact thing that happened in the SD game earlier this year. It was like Deja...

Not really. The Pats kept playing after the Falcons mailed it in thinking it was over. They never gave up, and it cost the Falcons dearly. There were a lot of ticky tack calls against ATL that weren't called equally for both teams. They didn't change the outcome as much as ATL shutting down shop...

That's the NFC South for you, lol

I tried to warn you guys we were legit. I was talking to the TV at half telling the NE players that the look on their face was normal. We did it all year to the best defenses, then did it to yours. Somebody forgot the GOAT was playing them in the second half. Great comeback. Great game.

I'm a man of my word. I told you I would be back. I had a feeling we were F'd when we went to a prevent D mid third quarter. They've done it too many times this year. They lack the ability to kick people while they are done. I can't say you won the game more than the Falcons gave it away. They...

The first game against the Bucs was just your typical first game. We started a bunch of young guys, and the defense kept extending drives with stupid penalties that led to points for the Bucs. They actually played really well prior to the penalties. It was a strange game. The next loss was in...

You're just in denial. It's ok. Check this out Super Bowl LI - Fantasy Index

I have no problem congratulating you guys on a win if it happens. It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if you did. I have a feeling Atlanta will give you guys more than you can handle though. I expect that you guys feel the same about the Pats. When we played the Broncos in Feb 1999, I expected...

I am in no way trying to knock your D at all. I'm simply pointing out that they haven't exactly been challenged at all really. The best offense you faced during the season was Seattle's (first game against the Cardinals maybe, but the Seattle game was after you were in midseason form, and Big...

Yawn. I've been a fan for 30 years, but nice try though. I'm what you call a true fan. I rep'd them through thick and thin, mostly thin. I was around when we hired Jerry Glanville, drafted Deion Sanders, for the meltdown on the sidelines between June Jones and Jeff George. I watched Deion come...

So I suppose the fact that the Atlanta offense faced the second hardest schedule of opposing defenses, and the Patriots D faced the easiest schedule of opposing offenses doesn't make you question how good your D really is? Even just a little? The Rams (16 years ago, btw) had Bruce, Holt, and...

Here's another fun fact for you DVOA folks: only 2 teams since realignment in 2002 that were first in DVOA won the Super Bowl. The 2002 Bucs, and 2013 Seahawks.
