Why did you post that nasty remark about Joe Montana? Did Montana ever criticize Tom Brady?

First game I ever watched. Is it always this exciting ?

So happy The Patriots won....because The President has friends there.

LOL! Nice.

But don’t be surprised when ESPEN leads with that headline tomorrow.

Yes. I told my wife that.

What kind of moron QB would consider a throw in that situation?

Don't even THINK about a pass.

Take 3 points, and make it a two possession game.

I give Brady the ultimate in props. Probably the best ever in NFL history. I even raised a glass to him.

Despite my hatred of the Pats.

But I absolutely HATE the Falcons for basically flushing a SB win down the toilet.

WELL... THE FALCONS DID WIN THE POPULAR VOTE.
That invalidates the final score, right?

Certainly a historic comeback and great win for the Patriots, but if not for the woeful Falcon coaching staff decisions, the Falcons would have won the game in regulation. They just made too many bone headed decisions.

Two things they screwed up on. First, when the Falcons had an 8 point lead in the fourth quarter, they had a 2nd and 11 WITH THE BALL IN FIELD GOAL RANGE, and the offensive coordinator called a pass play. NO, you don’t pass the ball there. You run the ball a couple times and then kick the field goal and go ahead by 11 points. But no, they tried to pass and got sacked and eventually out of field goal range.

The second screw up late in the game was that, for some reason, the Falcons were running play after play with as much as 15 seconds left on the play clock. They should have been running the play clock down to 3 seconds on every play. Had they done that one thing, they could have denied about 50 seconds of clock time to the Patriots.

Nope. He's already said he's going to keep playing until he starts "sucking."

That's good to hear. I was hoping to see him go for one or two more rings.

I live in MA and the Pats were losing by so much that I went to Netflix for a movie——my daughter called me from the west coast about 25 minutes ago and told me-———I couldn’t believe it.

Worst choke ever. ALL on coach. After Julio Jones catch just run 3 times eat up nearly 2 minutes and kick FG. 2 scores up with 3 minutes to go game over.

PATHETIC.

Reason for the boos was that the Commissioner suspended Tom Brady for four games this season for ball-deflating.

But Brady proved to have super-inflated balls when he endorsed Donald Trump just before the election.
