It’s strange, based on how our brains work we as Patriots fans obsess over the “what if” plays in our big loses. I have obsessed about the Eli to Tyree throw for 13 years now and I still can’t let it go. “Ughh why did that ONE play not go our way!” But what makes no sense is we overlook how in SB51 we had to execute not ONE play but easily over a dozen, any one of which if it had gone just a bit differently would have lost us the game.
I have seen the full replay of SB51 like a dozen times. I’ve watched the highlights hundreds. I logically understand the sequence of events that transpired to allow us to win. But to this day I still can’t believe it.

You did the lord’s work, and it resulted in a Super Bowl comeback victory...I’m sure the sugar coma was worth itNot a big drinker during Pats games or SBs as I want to watch and absorb them in a sober state.
I also don't eat a lot of sweets either. Cakes, candy, etc. Potato chips are my addiction....and we were out.
I'm not a nervous eater really but that game I had a problem....
When it went to 21-3 and I was starting to slip into an extremely concerned state. I didn't want any booze so I had a cream-filled chocolate cupcake with raspberry frosting my daughter made. It had a plastic "Patriots" thing on it. They were cute....and very good.
At 28-3 I had another.
At 28-9 and the missed XP I had another.
28-16- Yep....Another.
I took a break for a while but had one after the White TD to make it 28-28.
5 cupcakes during the 2nd 1/2.
That has to be some kind of Man v Food record?
Guess you aren't old enough to have watched SB20:This was, strangely, the least stressed I've ever been watching a Super Bowl. It got out of hand so quickly, that my attention started turning to other things. I was still watching every play of course, but I was thinking about what other food I could eat, or checking my phone, or doing other things because the game was no longer interesting... until it was again. And by the time it really sunk in that, "Hey, they could pull this off..." there was very little time left so I had about 5 game minutes of stress and that was it.
I loved this superbowl. Like some have mentioned, so much had to go right to pull it off. However, as spectacular as the game was for Patriot players and fans It’s not my favorite superbowl win.
Rams 36 was incredible underdog stuff of legends. My second was Seattle because they did it against a defense that was all time top 15 worthy. Some might argue top 5.
Atlanta was just stupid, all they really had to do is use the 40 second clock and hike it with with a few seconds every down. Pats would of more than likely ran out of time. But it was nice watching the cheerleaders, fans, owners, players faces during and after the aftermath.
come to think about it, I usually don't eat anything during a Pats game, especially the playoffs. and my drinks are usually just water. Because of the score, I was actually eating in the 2nd half as well.Not a big drinker during Pats games or SBs as I want to watch and absorb them in a sober state.

I don't think I even went for a run the next day. Spent it reading/watching everything I could get my hands on...You did the lord’s work, and it resulted in a Super Bowl comeback victory...I’m sure the sugar coma was worth it
Same here. Even when the comeback started I never thought it could happen. it just didn't seem possible up until they were going for the 2 point conversion to tie the game. And then I was never nervous because I knew they would win and it was just a matter of how they would win.This was, strangely, the least stressed I've ever been watching a Super Bowl.
