Super Bowl Falcons vs Patriots

[flamethrower]

Who you got. Me, I'm rooting for Atlanta to beat Tom Brady's Bunch.
Also rather than starting one to chat about the game. Let's use this one. Please keep the comments from 3pm CST.

Definitely pulling for Atlanta. It'd be great for this town. Screw the Patriots!

[DEHog]

NE and it won't be close, only silver lining is... I'll be happy for our hometown guy Duron Harmon getting his second ring.

[SkinsJock]

Being a Redskin fan and living in NE is kind of interesting - moved here from Annapolis in 83 and was a bit surprised to see a sign on a sports bar wall "if you're looking to watch the Patriots, find another bar - GO GIANTS" - back in the day, this was Giants territory and there are a lot of Giants fans - that same bar is heavy on the Patriots now, although there is still a few Giants stuff on the walls

I'm barred from this place during the season although the owner and manager are good friends


GO PATS - I love watching Brady play QB

[DarthMonk]

I used to hate the Pats more than I do now.

I'll be pulling for Atlanta - especially since SJ and I both picked the Pats. I'd like to see a shoot out since my score is 58 and SJ's is 57.

I see the Pats holding Atlanta to a FG one more time than Atlanta does the Pats.

Kyle is excellent and will find a weakness. Belichik is excellent and will mask it.

The game may ending up being too big for a few people. More than anything, I'm hoping the outcome is in doubt with 5 minutes to go.

31-24 ... P A T S

[Deadskins]

NE and it won't be close

That's your prediction, but who are you rooting for?

31-24 ... P A T S

Your Hognostication was for 57 points.

[Burgundy&GoldForever]

I'm hoping the Patriots die in a tragic accident before the game is even played. Is that wrong?

just win baby - just win - anything under 58 is OK with me

Pats are winning this game and it should not be a high scoring game

[TexasCowboy]

Neither is who this guy is pulling for

So far your prediction is right on. But, still lots of game to be played. under 9 in the 1st half

[flamethrower]

It's now 21-0. Shanahan is now on his way to being HOF as an OC. Only thing left is he has to stink as a head coach. LOL

[flamethrower]

Patriots wound up winning. Mc Daniels already had all his "Service to the NFL" requirements for getting into the Hall of Fame. But, this makes him that much more better than the Turn-Nover

[TexasCowboy]

The way it works is??

* Having played, won the first time automatically full fills the service requirement
without it ever having a requirement to be filled again

From another thread:

What I remember more about Kyle, was that he sometimes tried to get too cute with the trick plays, and abandoned the run too early. Sound familiar?

Hmm, 2nd and 11 at the NE 23, ATL 28 NE 20 with 3:56 left on the clock: Run the ball, eat the clock, kick the game winning FG? No! Kyle get's cute and calls a pass. Ryan gets sacked. OK, Kyle, now it's 3rd and 23 at the NE 35, 3:50 left on the clock: Run the ball, eat the clock, kick the game winning FG? No! Kyle doubles down and calls another pass. 10 yard penalty for holding. Out of FG range. The rest is history. Kyle outcoached himself last night. smh

Yes.

Of course, after Julio's great catch the Head Coach should have grabbed Kyle and said "Nice work getting us here. Now let's run from here on out."

Kyle should not have needed that instruction but he should have gotten it.

Amazing how patient New England remained.

Yes to running. There is a reason Gibbs had Riggins, Timmy Smith, Ernest Byner - Ricky Ervins. It was not so much a Riggo Drill as a Hogs Drill.

Must admit, though:

(1) If the Redskins are not playing I lose interest in the Super Bowl

(2) Current NFL play is boring: the five-wide receiver set, shotgun, all-pass-all-the-time

That OT touchdown was not reviewed but it would have been at TD on the next down or so.....

What a meltdown. I thought it was going to be a blowout by the Falcons........ wow

What a GREAT game - so many critical plays ...

I won a pool bet with a predicted final score of 33-28 - it wasn't Hog Bowl but it did get me a few hundred for a $10 pick

when the score got to 28-3 I said "well that's all they're going to get .. it's Brady time"

I think all scores are reviewed. They just confirmed quickly.

I watched it frame-by-frame on 100" HD. At first I mistook his elbow for the ball. After a few more watches I am convinced he scored. As knee is beginning to touch, Falcon leg on goal line is blocking sight of ball which is breaking plane though dark elbow behind ball is about 1 inch short.

[SkinsJock]

that was such a great comeback ... great call on the TD

GREAT GAME - a true SUPER Bowl
