Game Thread Super Bowl LI - New England Patriots vs Atlanta Falcons

What a great game!

 

I don't know what is worse... Atlanta giving up a 25 point lead or Seattle throwing it at the 1... Seattle hurt more for obvious reasons but damn, being a Falcons fan has to be the shits right now.

 

Amazing finishes also happened in politics, man 2016/17 has been lit.

 

Seems to happen more often than naught. I go to a superbowl party, and a guy rooting for my team really whoops it up all game, and the other team comes back.

Falcons coaching failed pretty hard late there in the 4th with 3+minutes up by 8 in field goal range.
Second down, chance to make it a two possession game.
Should've ran it twice, and kicked the field goal.
Instead chooses to pass, Ryan gets sacked. Then a holding penalty knocks them out of FG range.
Almost as bad play calling as Seattle choosing to pass instead of hand the ball to Lynch a couple years ago.

 

What would yall rate these games in terms of greatest finishes?

 

I was just going to type the exact same thing. They were smart to throw to get into fg range, but once they were there it was idiotic to try it on 2nd down. They were around the 25 at the time. Just run it twice and kick it. Game over

 

lol Marky Mark left the game at halftime.

 

That is tough. I'm thinking back to my emotions during them all. All such great sports highs. I wasn't as emotionally invested in this game, so I would put this at the bottom for me. My list probably goes:

NBA
NCAAMB
MLB
NCAA football
NFL

 

Meh. I'd hate to be a Seahawks fan more. Choked that SB, and only gotten worse ever since.

Man. NFL feels rigged. ESPN is going to be milking this for months. Brady this and Brady that.... It'll be June before I hear a damn thing about baseball. Thank God for streaming....

 

^Seabitches fan.

 

I was following this over on GlockTalk, sorry.

Pats fans are going to be utterly insufferable for decades to come.

You have no idea what that's like while having Montana as your team's QB icon.

Oh, and by the way....think Fox did a good job giving Brady fellatio? Christ, I've never heard so much cock sucking in my life.

 

Sigh. How do you think I feel?

We already had one choke artist HC, and every 9er fan still sucks his dick to this day.

I can't even imagine what it's going to be like if or when Kyle chokes our chances for a 6th Lombardi away. Not looking forward to it.

I knew the Falcons were in deep shit when they used up too many timeouts. And challenging that play was just utterly stupid beyond words.

I hope he learns from this, and I hope it haunts him until he wins one with us.

 

Are there really a lot of die hard Falcons fans? Or are they like the Seahawks and all bandwagon and shit? I know ATL has a shitty sports following for the most part, yeah?
