Patriots' gameplan revealed after stunning Super Bowl comeback

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

It's cool but it's kind of funny that half of those could be the list of things they didn't do, or didn't do untl the fourth.

 

[sarge]

So there is that old saying that no good battle plan survives first contact.

Lets see how this one stacked up.

1. crap, uh, yeah, nope. Does spotting them 7 count? No?
2. dangit, first play from scrimmage that bad boy was out the window
3. (yeah, see number 2)
what about number 4, lets see
4. Well crap, maybe, almost sort of not
5. Swing and a miss
6. How about part of the time
7. YES!
8. Eventually
9. Eh



10. YES IT WAS!!!!

as someone on the bills forum wrote:

Oh, you just KNOW when all the celebrating is over there's going to be some intense review of the game so they can fix the things that went wrong... in their Superbowl win.

Which is why they've won their 5th Superbowl since the turn of the century. Just an unreal organization.

 

[meatface]

Well that certainly didn't go as planned

 

[XLIX]

Geez they didn't do about half of that "must" list.

 

[XLIX]

Someone may be in a bit of trouble for forgetting to erase that.

Yes I'm serious.

 

[irishfanatic]

Geez they didn't do about half of that "must" list.

I think the Coaches wrote all of that After the game lol.

 

[Bill Lee]

Right now in Cleveland an intern is straining their eyes to copy down everything on that board!

I expect they are struggling with the concept of the dry erase board. They likely will not make it to the substance of what is written on the board.

 

[qbno12]

That's more like a to-do list. They eventually did it but a just a little late.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Wow, belichick has great handwriting.

 

[letekro]

Interesting about "Attack the Spot". I noticed during the game that the rushers seemed to be plowing towards a spot a few yards behind the line apparently not even looking for Ryan. There is really no need to. He was right rhere every time.

 

[Ross12]

How did Kyle Shanahan fit one of these in his backpack?

 

[TinhWoodhead]

stop #11? sure thats not the falcons game plan?

 

[bbobbo]

stop #11? sure thats not the falcons game plan?

the reporter found this in the patriots locker room...you're not suggesting that the patriots stole the falcons game plan, are you???

also, there's no #2 on the patriots roster.

[RelocatedPatFan]

That's creepy, who got in my basement/man-cave and took pics of my whiteboard?

 

[ForThoseAboutToRock]

That's creepy, who got in my basement/man-cave and took pics of my whiteboard?

Just the usual CIA/FBI/alien conspiracy participants. Nothing to see here.

 

[Ring 6]

Wait, I think we need to call in Ted Wells to investigate how this picture was taken and if Atlanta had a copy before the game. Clearly that's the only reason they got an early lead.

Notice that "defense wins championships!!!" at the bottom in large letters.
