When we were Atlanta...

[PatsFanInVa]

They're playing SB 36 vs Rams on NFLN...

17-3, Patriots, 4th quarter... and just watched that almost-sack where the play took a full minute Warner ran around so much... and our boys?

Gassed.

Getting ready for this Rams comeback that wasn't enough, the Night the Dynasty was Born...

But it's great hearing Madden talking about Warner and the Rams as this unbeatable juggernaut, the presumptive winner of the game before it started.... how they're getting back and doing what the Rams do, etc. etc. etc.

That genius Mike Martz using the "must score" section of his playcall sheet... tebucky scooping up a fumble but there's a stupid flag, old Willie McGinest holding... all the ups and downs I'd forgotten.

Now Tebucky's out of gas forever LOL

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Actually stupid thread title... the D seemed gassed briefly and I am sure will again at times... but they hung in there every play...

Madden now:

"These guys are somethin'... what do you do against Kurt Warner, are you gonna blitz him?" After long pass on a safety blitz

He does have lots of time by now for every throw... Madden ball-washing Warner... They had to go 93 yards to tie it, blah blah blah... they're in the middle of doing it now...

McGinest sack!

WOO HOO! They'll still get this TD... LOL

 

[Wordsmyth]

Silence of the Rams!

 

[PatsFanInVa]

This is great, re-living SB36... condensed style...

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Mrs. P says this is "anti-woman television," I think they're marathoning all 5 SB-winning seasons... if they also do the 2 losses to the Gintz I'll skip those

 

[PatsFanInVa]

3rd and long, and the Pats run it to Smith... imagine if this were a gameday thread... we're up 17-10, that's BB not taking chances with his near-rookie QB to throw the int.

"WORST PLAY CALL EVAH!!!!"

 

[pwes]

Been watching this as well. First time I have rewatched the entire game since 2002

 

[PatsFanInVa]

god it's been a great 15 years

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Come on Pats! Stop 'em! Deny them the TD! Stop the Rams! How will we ever win it if they get this TD?!?!

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Crap there it is

Game over man, game over, 14 unanswered, I knew we wouldn't beat the Rams, now we can't score and they can score at will, we'll take a knee and that'll be that, beat down in over time

I thought of this game yesterday and thought if we had ended up losing that game, it would have been the same for us as what Atlanta fans are having to endure.

I remember even looking over at my wife during SB 36 saying "Damn, if they are going to lose I just wish they would have gotten blown out"

They are all sweet to me, but that one was still the sweetest.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

I have a new sweetest this year, Sarge, but I hear ya

Okay here's where we get the ball, and they're all going to talk about how the smart thing to do is just forget it and play overtime

 

[PatsFanInVa]

LOL love the graphic
"Super Bowl Fact: There has never been an overtime game in Super Bowl History"

 

[pwes]

Crazy back then they popped that same graphic up of there never being an OT game in SB history and they almost had one in this game.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Madden: I don't agree with what the Patriots are doing right here, I would play for overtime

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Madden acknowledges TFB has been "very impressive with his calmness"

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Championship Fact: Last OT championship was in 1959 Giants vs. somebody....

 

[PatsFanInVa]

Madden: This is amazing.... this is something I don't think they should have done... etc.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

"What Tom Brady just did gives me goosebumps" - the line we all remember

 

[PatsFanInVa]

THERE IT IS!!! IT'S GOOD!

"No time on the clock... and the Patriots have won Super Bowl 36... Unbelievable!"
