Just because someone is catching what you throw them doesn’t mean they’ll be open and able every time you throw it their way. Julio wins man-man coverage, but the pats played zone for a fair bit of the game, where a player like Julio doesnt thrive as much. Also, no need to throw risky throws, not in that situation. Turnovers are the worst thing you can do with a lead

But we had Bucky Dent and that homer, wells, the montreal Canadians in the 70's were unstoppable...too many men on the ice game...ugh The Habs....then there was that roughing the passer call the raiders got away with cost us a playoff game, the Fridge scoring a TD and the 85 bears destroying that pats team. We know this feeling that ATL must have gone thorugh...Tyree...I was on the field as a photo runner for the globe and I was on the field and walked off just behind Bill....I was disgusted at that game I was standing next to an exec and he laughed and said looks like the whistle got put away and I knew it was over. the young boston fans today have never really knew losing or bad seasons...spoiled kids many of them. we had title games every year for 20 yeasr it seemed.

Pete Carroll was another genius coach who proved himself stupid against the Pats. Why not call Beastmode at the two yard line? Carroll figured he had two shots at a TD.

It was mostly on the coaching for not making adjustments when needed but to be honest the players get blame too. Falcons players were getting super cocky and celebrating on the sidelines early.

Completely disagree. Obviously yall are not Falcons fans. Yall talking like the Falcons were yearly contenders for a NFC championship. They were division contenders at best every third year or so before that and returned to form afterwards. That ENTIRE season was played exactly the way the SB went - except ATL's defense that year found a way to get stops and end games enough for an 11-5 record. NOBODY in ATL believed the Falcons would beat the Patriots, NOBODY. On sports radion programs people hoped they would win and might've dreamt they would surprise us all, but the shouts and cheers were muted. This wasn't the Dirty Birds of '98. ATL fans had been burned before (see 2012 NFC Championship vs 49ers) and held their collective breaths and tried to enjoy the moment. The Falcons were 4-6 point underdogs going in to that SB and lost by six..I'm like what's to "recover" from? How can you lose a game you were supposed to lose and yet be shocked you lost?? The Pats were supposed to win it, and they did.

That’s 100% not Brady. That’s 100% the AFC East. If he spent that time in the NFC west for example he would have had the 2005 Seahawks, the 2008 Cardinals, the early 2010-2014 Patrick Willis 49ers, and of course the 2013 Seahawks. Then factor in the Rams who were always a .500 team so could play spoiler at any time. Much different than the 3-13 Jets year after year. Brady and BB play with house money every year because no matter what they were going to the playoffs as a division winner. That lets you play loose and flexible to any change to see what works. It was a vicious cycle that greatly enabled their success. Look at Brady’s timing in jumping to the nfc south just in time where Carolina collapses, brees retires and Atlanta is in disarray. Reminder, iirc Brady’s last two rings came courtesy of opponents scoring a COMBINED 12 points. and prior to that i believe was the Seahawks goal line failure. That to me is 3 rings that he has something to do with but his defenses were far more valuable.

They handled the rest of the NFL very well compared to those lousy Jets and Dolphins teams. But facts aside teams can’t help the which division they’re in. That’s not Brady or Belichicks fault they were in a weak division. Yet another fact that blows your weak ass argument out of the water is the fact that they spent most of the twenty or so years together at the top three teams in the conference. Often the top one. Which then makes their schedule the following year a tougher one and negates the fact, as you claimed, they play in a weak division. It’s ok, you can admit it.

Since this game, the Falcons have gone on to make the playoffs only one more time in 2017, defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card game before falling to the Philadelphia Eagles-who would proceed to accomplish the very goal the Falcons set out to against the same Patriots team in Super Bowl LII-in the Divisional Round. Following that season, they’ve finished 7-9 twice from 2018 to 2019 and 4-12 last season. Attendance has plummeted significantly. The stadium looks depressingly cavernous every game.

Run it. Maybe you pick up 8-10 yards (or more) and get a more makeable FG. But even if you don't, you make the Patriots burn a time out. If nothing else, don't call a sideline route.

@@bigreeezy How can you say it wasn't scripted when all Atlanta had to do was run the ball several more times and kick a field goal BUT they kept passing with double digit numbers on the play clock when the game clock was running? They kept passing when they should have been running and taking time off the clock. A field goal would have been as good as a TD given the amount of time left in the game and up by two scores. The whole thing makes no sense and they never explained it. Was their kicker hurt? None of their play calls in the last half of the 4th quarter makes sense and that's why people question it.

[@Zerox_Prime]

I was shocked how BB and TB12 were being crushed in the SB. Atlanta was outcoached, but not by BB... their own coaches beat them. When you have a lead, play with it. Run the ball. Make the defense stop the run and then pass when needed. Keep the chains moving. Run clock. At the beginning of the second half, BB outsmarted himself and exposed his desperation with a hopeless on-site kick. It was the first great opportunity squandered by the Falcons in the second half. Getting strip sacked doesn't happen with a running play. Run plays don't normally lose game winning field goal range. But the Hawks and Matty Ice were arrogant, as was Pete Carroll when he lost against the,Pats on a pass play. Losers.

[@kevinscott59]

@@Zerox_Prime Everything you said was on the money.BB's onside kick while still in the third quarter was a terrible call and should've been the nail in the coffin for the Pats.

What I remember is a sideline shot of Tom Brady when it was 28-3, encouraging and trying to pump up his teammates. He didn't believe it was over and wouldn't let his team quit. One of the more amazing sports finishes you will ever see. Just one more addition to the Brady legend.

[@walkingolga6235]

#1 sign of a terrific leader. it’s hard to say if they would’ve pulled off this comeback had Brady been sulking around / throwing fits. even Murphy was doing some finger-pointing as his team was blowing their lead.
