At one stage during the game I saw PP tweet that Atlanta were 1/16 in running. I can only imagine what they were just before they went three and out on 3rd and 1.

You have Devonta Freeman. It's 3rd and 1. RUN THE BALL. That should get as much criticism as Pete Carroll did two years ago.

No. And because it's not the Falcons defense stopping the Pats. They're f*cking themselves over.

Never been so happy to be wrong!:pac:

What a bottle job by Atlanta.
They don't run the ball on 3rd and 1.
They are sacked out of FG range.

Fair play to Brady and co. That game was over and they dug it out. When they won the coin toss in OT there was only one outcome.

I had falcons to win by 14 by or more at 8-1. Had it spent in my head.....

The biggest comeback to win in a Superbowl is 10 points. This is a pasting and there's no chance. Even if Brady starts throwing bullets downfield Atlanta will just come back and score themselves.

NE were 3 point favourites. Nobody predicted this.

Eh about that...

That drop is on Edelman.

The Patriots are absolutely tragic. Two dropped passes by so called "pros"

Good opening response from the Pats.

Will this actually go on til 3:30?

That's an hour per quarter left.

The last quarter is generally the longest in football, it could go on for an age if the scores are close.

Huh, no political stuff from Gaga. Genuinely surprised.

Yeah a couple of vague references at the start, nothing more.

I wonder if any of the dancers can play in the Pats O-line?

Still better than Coldplay last year.

When Springsteen played the crowd were allowed up to the stage IIRC

Some awful gimpy dancing in this.

I think the ones standing around with the wee glow sticks are probably the worst.

Were all the people around the stage told they have to jump up and down for the duration?

They do this every year. It's cringeworthy. They know that most people in the stands probably don't give a bollix about the 'show'.

It makes it a bit strange watching this knowing nobody is singing or playing live.
