Two Interesting Coincidences from Pats Last 2 SB Wins

[The Gr8est]

I was listening to a sports talk radio show yesterday, think it was Rich Eisen, and they mentioned two very interesting coincidences from the Pats' last two Superbowl wins, involving the game turning plays.

Against Seattle, when Wilson threw the pass from the one yard line, it was the 108th time it had been tried, by any team, all season, and that was the first time that play had resulted in an interception.

Against the Falcons, when the Falcons had a 1st down on the Pats' 22 yard line, it was the 108th time all season that a team was in that position with a 1st down on their opponent's 22 yard line, and it was the 1st time that the team in that position had to punt.

So more evidence God is a Pats' fan, and has a sense of humor?

The final score of New England's first SB win? 20-17

The year that New England won it's 5th ring? 2017

I look forward to Tom Brady and BB winning their 500th ring in 3428.

That whole 2003 to 2016 season comparison thread looks eerie as hell right now too. Time to go back to back again!

Pats were 5-11 in 2000

First SB win in 2001

5+11 = 16

2001 + 16 = 2017

lol I know I'm reaching, just playing around

Here's a weird one. SB 51 took place in 2017. The Falcons lead 28-3. The Patriots won 34-28.


That's it. There is no more.

It's all hindsight now but all the Falcons needed when there were on the 21 was a FG to put the game away. There was absolutely no reason to do anything other than run a safe play and then kick the FG on 3rd down.

It'll be even more eerie when we beat an NFCE team next year.

The Patriots have a 5-2 SB record. Coincidence? I say not.

SB 5-2

SB 5-2

SB 5-2

SB 52

Compelling if not overwhelming.

It is freaky no question.

I think you run on 3rd down again, to chew up another 45 seconds.
But they got there by being an attacking offense, and didn't know how to dial it down when it counted.

Pats lost the first two Super bowls they played in and then won the next three.
Pats lost the next two Super Bowls and won the next two..We should win the next one..2-3-2-2(?3)
Not exactly Fibonacci but it will do..
