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

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

The thing is, everything that could of went wrong went wrong today. Missed XP, fumble, pick six, drops, onside kick failure, etc etc etc.

That being said, Atlanta deserves the respect they earned.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Perfect timing for (1) piss poor OL play and Brady taking the underneath throw versus a semi open-ish Bennett at the goal line. Any improbable comeback can't see those kind of misses. Everything has to work machine like for any chance whatsoever.

Patriots have all 3 TOs so they can flip a quick possession with a tough D stand. Here it is, right now, any comeback is dead if Atl gets even a FG here. D must get a stop even if it isn't 3 and out. Just any point-less stop makes the comeback at least possible if not very unlikely.

Offensive line **** down their legs tonight. McDaniels...blech.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

This is obvious, but right now is the time for Patricia and the defense to step up.

Stopping is a necessity, a turnover is preferable, allowing big chunks of yardage/time to be eaten up and/or allowing a score is fatal.

McDaniels(yeah standing there shaking your head is really, really inspiring...) isn't expected to grow a brain; perhaps Bill and/or Scar can help.

 

[sambam94]

No, the offense did not play well enough. Defense played well enough.

21 points on 33 snaps is not good

 

[UFGatorPat]

Ironically our younger OL players have been awful

 

[moejr]

5 minutes for 3 points? Is that right?

That is correct

The list of players who have come up very small tonight is long.

Got to agree. Where's Hogan in this game? Disappeared after a storming AFCCG performance.

 

[DefenseRules]

Their d is good. Ppl here haven't been watching the Falcons

You are right. The media only talked about their offense. No one
really gave the defense that much attention.

 

[TomPatriot]

Their d is good. Ppl here haven't been watching the Falcons

Not true. I watched 6 games. Bad gameplan and poorly executed at that. Kills you every time.

 

[n1997y]

This game will be lost because of turnovers. Falcons are 1 for 5 on 3rd down and still kicking our ass

Minus the two TDs off turnovers it's a two point game

 

[Big-T]

A turnover here is the most obvious "needs to happen" play in a long time.

 

[Saint Pat]

Picked the worst game to have their worst game.

 

[Gumby]

Stretch and BURN (the Clock). This will kill me

 

[moejr]

21 points on 33 snaps is not good

Only 14 points is on the D. They got 2 TD's including a pick 6 off TO's

 

[PatsFanInVa]

8:48 left... can we stop the McNabb-With-The-Flu pace when we get the damn ball back?

 

[ViperGTS]

Man hope Coleman is okay...don't like that at all..

 

[DefenseRules]

6.8 yards per rush by the falcons. WOW defense not good against the run.
