Super Bowl 51 Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots

[MikeJackets]

Un effing believeable!

It will probably be another 18 years until the Falcons go to another Super Bowl.

Falcons should have run on 2nd and 3rd down when in FG range up 28-20. Terrible taking a sack and hold. Completely within their control and choked.

Absolutely!

Paul Johnson would have won that game with a 25 point lead in the second half...

I agree with you! I put this loss on the Coaching Staff.

 

[OldJacketFan]

The Coaching Staff of the Falcons was coaching not to lose. It was the same thing they did in the last game against the Saints and it almost cost them there.

@MikeJackets I get what you're saying but imo this one fall directly on Shanahan's shoulders.

I hope he continues coaching like this with the 69'ers Times like this make me regret having given up drinking 15 years ago.

And all the pundits will laud the all mighty NE cheats! I can honestly say the better team did not win. Atlanta gave the the cheats a gift wrapped win like it was Christmas.

I bet you this will be the highlight of Dan Quinn's time in Atlanta and it will be down hill from here similar to Dan Reeves after 1998. I think this might have a bit of an affect on the 2017 Falcons and they will go 9-7 like they probably should have this season. This game hurts a hell of a lot worse than the loss to Denver in that Super Bowl did.

Too late for the Pats this game is for all purposes over.

Shaq Mason. Super Bowl champion!

Sick to my stomach. Still cant figure out the pass calls leading to sacks and holding when all u needed was to take a little time off and kick a 37 yard fg. U win the game then

Sick.

I feel worse and because of that I wont be looking at the ESPN and CBS Sports Websites for a week or so.

I will pour several out for all you Falcons fans. Especially the guys I know that went to the game. Idk how I could stomach the NFL the next season if I went to see my team do this in the SB

A lot of my UGA friends are saying "I feel like I just watched a UGA game"

This was a little like last season's GT-UGAG game.

The play calling in field goal range up 8 was just awful...I mean worst I've ever seen awful. You win the game with a field goal there. So damn stupid...

At the same time, it's not like anyone on the team made a single play in the 4th quarter. Kick returns were pathetic, defense was a wet paper bag, and offense was virtually non-existent. I've never seen a meltdown like that.

Good news is I'll get over this in a couple days, but thank God it wasn't Tech or it would last months...maybe years.

This is what happens when you get cute with the play calling.

The Falcons looked like they they regressed to the way they played against Tampa Bay in week 1

Numb. Completely numb... If GT ever does something like this I might not make it.
