    This is bad. We look so sluggish.

    Not looking good on offense so far. Really don't want to fall 14 points behind Atlanta.

    The stain on Bradshaw's shirt seems to have been part of a joke for a Tide ad that just played, in case anyone was wondering.

    Freeman can really play this game.

    Also somebody get Terry Bradshaw a new shirt.

    OH MY GOD! It was planned! And they had Jeffrey Tambor involved!

    Alex Mack doing a better job with one leg than most centres do with two!!

    Elated for how this year has gone for him, shame Joe Thomas will prob never get the same.

    George Bluth has that covered, it turns out.

    Great catch, Atlanta cutting through them way too easily again.

    Patriots would want to wake up fairly soon. Falcons look to be in a groove

    Times like now you think that while a team has a period of dominance like the Falcons are having, they really, really need to get a decent number of points on the board. We know adjustments will come, if Atlanta only have a score or two by half time they are going to regret it.

    On another note: this is like the opposite kind of game to the one I think anyone was expecting.

    Jesus I know people like to call games early on here, but 5 minutes in to the 2nd quarter is a bit ridiculous. Especially when its Tom Brady on the other side of the field

    If it wasn't bad enought, refs giving them another chance at the XP after a good stop

    That's the advantage of having so many weapons on offence, double team Julio and leave Hooper one on one in the endzone

    No team has come back from being down more than 10 points in a super bowl.

    The early runs were a good call and have opened thee Pats up a bit, this Falcons offense is phenomenal and is going to be tough to call what they'll do on any play with this lead.

    Yeah but there's only been a few Super Bowls. 14 point deficits are overcome every week, loads of play left in this game.
