So the Pats won the Superbowl!!!
- Thread starter GoBlue_since1985
- Start date
Surprised nobody has mentioned (at least from what I read/hear) is that Brady threw the ball 62 times? Geez louise.
Pats won because of the coin flip. Seriously. Atlanta wins imo if it comes up tails.
Laughed when Goodell ferociously booed.
Ironically Atlanta lost this game because of their offense...not because of their defense.
That catch...wow.
Julio Jones...dang.
So tell me how deflategate hurt the Pats? A loss of a draft pick vs. Super Bowl championship.
Two 2 pt conversions? Wow.

I always thought the World Cup deciding their Final (after literally playing thousands of qualifying games to get to the Final) on a Shootout was one of the dumbest things in sports. It's perfectly fine with me and logical if you have a shootout for all the games prior to the Final. But for the single biggest international match in 4 years ---- play until a Golden Goal!
Deciding the Super Bowl without each team getting a possession? That's like the World Cup deciding the Final on a Shootout --- except that if the first shot in the shootout results in a goal, it's game over.
It's truly strange. But, of course, it's a potential NFL issue that has been looming for 50+ years now. We just finally now had our OT game.
I thought it was kinda weird that Atlanta didn't get a possession after NE scored in OT.
OT in football will always be a tricky one --- just a structurally different sport vs. baseball, soccer, basketball, hockey, where OTs are pretty easy to figure out.
If New England scores a TD, then Atlanta scores a TD, then New England scores a TD --- should it be over at that point? I'd argue yes --- that would seem fair to me.
Tougher loss....Atlanta or PSU?
Answer: Atlanta
I think the NFL OT is better than college which keeps going and this is football. Would be like a tied boxing match (draw) and fighting another 2 rounds. It's wrong. There is a debate in the tennis world about not having a 5th set tiebreaker in some of the grand slams.
Football is too physical so if you don't like going to OT then either win the game in regulation or when you get to OT...score a TD or stop your opponent.

College football OT needs a tweek. Start at the 45, so if you stone the opponents, they don't even get a fg.
[actually, I'd start the first team at the 40 and the 2nd team at the 45 because going second is a huge advantage.....cause you know what you need to win or tie.]
Pro game OT s better than it used to be by a lot......then you only needed a fg to win and winning the flip was overwhelming. I have often wondered at what yard line a particular coach would want to start on defense. The 15 yards line? The 5? Obviously depends on the team, but they could do some stat work and determine what yard line would make it a 50/50 proposition.

Atlanta's OC should be fired on the spot..
Up 28-12... 3rd and 1.. .over 100 yards rushing... ahhh.. let's pass it.. turnover.. 28-20 just like that...
Up 28-20... 2nd and 11.. inside NEs 25.... less than 5 minutes with the clock running... ahh, lets pass it again..
All they had to do was run the ball 2Xs, kick a FG & go pick up their trophy...
Horrible... .lol
