    I hate the Pats and I thought it was a good call. And every defensive holding call on that series where they called 3 in a row.

    The penalty for holding is bullshit. I don't think it should be an automatic 1st. 5 yards that's it. Or maybe 10 since it's worth 10 yards against the offense.

    I've always hated that. 10 yards for something that could be called on literally every offensive play seems ridiculously punitive.

    Another possible screwup by the falcons, I noticed on their last drive they were snapping the ball with 15+ seconds on the play clock. Could have made a difference maybe to bleed it down a little.

    It's more punitive for the defense. An automatic 1st is crazy IMO.

    Agreed. They're both ridiculous.

    I guess we can point out all the things we think the Flacons could have done. Point is they lost, and Brady won yet again, not really a surprise. They need to take some time off to clear their heads and come back ready and hungry. Super Bowl losses can prove demoralizing, take the Panthers last year, they lost and it destroyed them, had a shamble of a season this year. Its all about how you come back from it. Hey, you never know who will dominate the NFC next season and meet the Patriots in Super Bowl 52. It could be your team.

    Chicago is the team I grew up watching, so I guess that makes them my team.
    It won't be Chicago.
    Chicago has the same chance the Browns do of making it to SB52.

    If we can get close enough to a 6th Lombardi to choke it away in Shanehans 6 years here, I'd be extremely happy.

    That play was extremely close. No reason not to challenge it.

    Y'all Niner fams gotta chill and give him a chance. He's better than the last 2 shit head coaches we've had.
