And I'm not even bothered in the slightest tbqh. Arguably the best yet. Brady and Belichick = GOAT. Plus the result does wonders for the legacy of Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning!

Mandy Lifeboats Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Well.......I've just woken up and realised it wasn't a dream. I truly hate the Patriots but that was the greatest Superbowl win ever. Wow. I hope Raider's win next year isn't so dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Was watching Fox online (legally official fox in the US), and at 28-12 they cut to an add-break. Now for some reason during the add breaks they just displayed a holding screen having for some reason not synched with the TV ads, bizarre screw up by someone in IT or marketing. The feed froze and somehow went offline and so I said screw it and was ready for bedtime... just said I'd quickly check on espn 28-20!! Got back viewing to see one of those things that only live sport provides! I'll never understand what the Falcons were thinking, as it was truly one of those situations where every single human watching knew they were doing it wrong... a bit like us with Tactics-Tim at Leicester last year.

Best ever comeback without question though. Still can't believe we pulled that off, Brady's will to win is incredible. 466 yards. Clutch plays and drives. Awesome. I think I read last night that 6/7 New England SB appearances have been decided on the last play of the game. Hopefully the next one we can put away by halftime! Consensus today seems to be that Brady and Belichick are the GOAT...this win takes the Patriots as a football club closer to that title as well.

TrinityRoadSteps Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 As a Jets fan I obviously dislike the Pats with a passion. But you have to respect what they did there. A bit like United under Fergie. Utterly unlikeable but sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say "yeah OK" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) An astonishing comeback helped by some really bad calls by the Falcons. Matt Ryan did not choke but his coaching staff certainly did. I still can't work out why they decided to run a five step dropback from the shotgun on 2nd and 11 from the 20 or why they thought exclusively playing a cover 1 in a shootout wouldn't gas their dbs As for goat picks - I still have Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Otto Graham, LT (the original one) and Hutson above Brady but he's definitely in the conversation.

Dante_Lockhart Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Falcons have no-one to blame but themselves. They had the game and threw it away. Ridiculous play calling by Shan when in field goal range, and the Falcons LT wants shooting for those 2 holding calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kneel twice and kick a FG. Absolute morons. They weren't even running the clock down effectively, still snapping with 10 seconds left on the rundown. Deserved to lose if they can't even do that correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I still think the OT rules are criminal . Both teams should have at least one possession . New England won because they won the toss at the end of the day . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Brady's game jersey went missing right after he took it off...valued at $500,000 apparently. His dirty shirt is worth more than everything I own, by a large amount.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Hightower has now made two of the great game saving plays to help his team win superbowls. The tackle on Lynch at the one yard line gets better every time I watch it and the sack on Ryan stopped an almost certain touchdown (Robinson is about to be wide open down the middle of the field at the moment Ryan gets hit). Given the drama in both games I wonder if people (outside of New England) will even remember them in 10 years?
