And of course, the biggest comeback has to be done by a team from Boston. Motherf***ers are going to be hearing about this more than the 2004 ALCS... maybe.
Boston sports teams can eat the biggest, fattest, sweatiest dick imaginable.
To think, if the Giants ownership didn't hand the keys over to Ray f***ing Handley, football fans outside of New England wouldn't have to deal with this shit. And yes, the bitterness is at an all-time high even 6-7 hours after the fact. Can someone get me a pic of Aaron Hernandez doing the perp walk? It'll ease my troubled mind for the time being.

Wow, what a bottle job. Hang your heads in shame, Falcons.

Seeing some people on Facebook claiming this game was rigged. Don't know how you can rig that lucky ass catch by Edelman though. He doesn't catch that the game is likely over honestly. Hell I am a Patriots fan and I can admit that catch was a combination of luck and skill. More luck than anything else. It's their version of the Giants' helmet catch.

I just went back and read through the game as seen on this thread. I think I need a cigarette. All kidding/semi gloating aside: You will likely never see a run the likes of what you've seen since the moment Mo Lewis took Drew Bledsoe out on that fateful September day back in 2001. I fully understand the venom for the Patriots, Brady etc, but even the most hardcore of haters have to respect what they've done. Tom Brady is the greatest QB of all time. Period. End of discussion. The only debate left is who is #2.

Actually you know what that reminded me of?
Remember when Jillian Hall finally won the Divas title and we were all happy she got her moment for 2 minutes, and then Melina came out and everyone was watching a car crash happen in slow motion but we couldn't stop it?
That.

Eventually such a disparity in time of possession catches up to you. Pats play an offense that runs all over the place, multiple weapons and guys who can catch he ball at every position.
If you need to run around with them for 40 minutes buoyed going to start giving up plays, it was inevitable.
What's more shocking was the Patriots shut down the Falcons offense the entire second half. How does that even happen? Freeman and Gabriel looked to be playing at a totally different speed than the Patriots defense and Julio is Julio, no offense Antonio but he's the best WR in the league.
All told, Patriots defense is bizarre. They don't look good, they're full of JAGs, Atalanta looked infinitely faster. butte Patriots were the number one defense in the NFL and held the #1 offense to 21 points.

It was so weird. The Falcons were giving the Pats underneath and curl routes all game, then POOF they just started getting beat on routes.

That Edelman catch will haunt me forever I can watch a thousand replays of that sequence and every single time I'm going to melt my brain trying to figure out how the hell he came up with that Simple as this. If there isn't Falcon's players cushioning his fall and preventing the ball from hitting the ground, we probably aren't having this conversation today. Then again, according to all the salty bitches on social media today, Roger Goodell himself shot the player Edelman landed on with a fast acting tranquilizer and then personally aimed lasers in the eyes of the other Falcons on the Pats game winning drive so his ultimate master plan of his and Brady's Austin vs McMahon booking paid off. Really. That's what happened guys! Honest!

After I woke up this morning I tried to think of a nice short way to explain last night:
The Falcons did the most Falcons thing. Then the Patriots did the most Patriots thing.
Winners find ways to win. Losers find ways not to win.

Basically this is it, also add into the fact that the Falcons were constantly blitzing, couple that with the fact that the defense couldn't get off the field in the second half and you have the reason for the collapse. The Patriots basically played rope a dope with the Falcons defense until they were completely exhausted and couldn't stop anything. I definitely agree, the most surprised fact is the Patriots managed to shut down the Falcons offense in the second half. I'm not even sure how the heck you do that with all of the weapons on that offense. The Falcons should have been able to consistently run the ball and use up the clock.

I am sorry but giving the circumstances, what the Falcons is a firable offense, if I owned the Falcons I might fire the coach. I mean the Red Sox weren't fired of firing Brady Little and look what is got them.

A couple of huge issues by Atlanta.. Gave up almost 600 yards offense 41 total offensive plays compared to 87 by New England Atlanta's longest drive was 8 plays, it was for their final touchdown it was also their longest drive at just over 4 minutes They scored that touchdown with 12:45 left in the 3rd, they only ran 16 offensive plays the rest of the game the Patriots ran 49. Cut and dry the Falcons defense was sucking wind and needed to cover two pass catching backs, four wides and a tight end with a great qb throwing the ball.

The Falcons need to be disbanded & every player & staff member blackballed from ever playing in the NFL again.

The only debate left is who is #2. It will be a happy day for most fans when Brady & Bellichek are done & you guys are back to being perinneal Top 10 draft picks. Not trying to be harsh but take tjpae two out & the Patriots are geeks.

Apparently after going up 28-3 in the 3rd quarter, the Falcons only ran the ball 5 times the rest of the game. That is just mind-boggling.

Dan Quinn completely shat the bed as a head coach last night. No concept of time of possession or clock management. No running game whatsoever in the second half of the game (as in they didn't even try to run any running plays, exposing the offense to unnecessary sacks and O-line penalties, not to mention giving the Pats plenty of time to work with). Blitzes on defenses when time and time again has shown that Brady eats blitzes for breakfast and the best way to deal with him is pressure up the middle.
It's just incredible how badly the Falcons choked that game away while every single break like the Edelman catch and that near-interception in the end zone went the Pats' way.

I do not, I repeat, Do NOT feel sorry for Atlanta.
Matt Ryan deserves to be bawling his eyes out. They are the greatest chokers of all time.

What *really* makes Quinn look stupid is that he was DC of the Seattle team that gagged the title away to New England. You'd think he would have taken a lesson or two from that game.

I put this on Ryan.
Dude doesn't take that sack, they kick a field goal, Pats are still down by three instead of tying. Just a stupid play.
