Don't feel sorry. I predicted Patriots win 31-28. I underbid by 3 points. No big deal.

Happy for EmmaMcG because she won some money

Pointing out where Atl fucked up does not take anything away from Brady. We are talking football, not fangirl bullshit.

Your knowlege of football extends as far as finding matching shoes for your Brady Jersey.

Babynoz isn't a man. No one said anything sexist.

We have differing opinions from yours. Nothing sexist about it.

You're grasping at straws.

I tell ya, it frustrates the hell out of me when other women just assume I'm a guy because I'm talking football instead of drooling.

I like dreamy guys as much as the next girl but this is NOT that thread.

Preach. Damn y'all went in up in here!

That shit was crazy last night. I'm not sure why Atlanta straight up choked in the 4th quarter. Were they too confident that they had Brady in the bag?

Epic choke by the Falcons last night, Congrats to the Patriots!

After the incredible catch by Julio Jones, all ATL had to do was run a few times, kick the FG and go up two scores. Play-calling was horrendous. Can't get cute against the Pats, jst ask Pete Carroll.

Wow, what a game! I thought I was a genius for about 58 minutes but Tom Brady is the greatest quarterbck who ever lived. Incredible!

Awesome!

We won a square when the Pats missed the extra point in the third quarter. When we got 9 and 8, I figured, no way we're EVER going to win with those numbers.

But...but...but...ILLIMUNATI!!!!1!1!!!

I know it wasn't fixed. To think that the Super Bowl is fixed is absolutely moronic and those who think it's fixed are not in touch with reality.

Russian air was use in the balls in the 2nd half!

The Atlanta Falcons's bus convoy just left the hotel. Man, that has to be one sad bus ride.

Fucking fuckers fuckee.

They were killing before they turned into the man on the tricycle that falls over sideways, ouch.

Almost thought the "sign" I got was wrong, but it wasn't. Glad to know the esp still works. Saints fan but still pulled for the Dirtys.

Somebody stole Brady's jersey. Good.

babynoz! They stole the jersey to get them shoes matched right.

The score that actually tells the tale: 93-46.

The Pats wore the Falcons' defense down. Atlanta simply didn't protect its defense by going to the ground and running the clock.

Clemson won the national title a month ago by running nearly 100 plays against an arguably historically-great defense. The Pats have been running the fastbreak offense for several years now, and have 2 Lombardis to show for it.

I've never seen anyone that celebrates more bad things that happen to people than you.

You should try looking for things to love rather than hate. I think you would be happier if you did that.

LOL. I half-expected their busses to get in an accident as they left the hotel.

You'd think Kyle Shananhan would've been smart enough to see that his Defense needed break after being on the field for most of the 1st half, and this guys in line to be a head coach, he got alot to learn.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/05/incoming-49ers-coach-kyle-shanahan-and-the-falcons-blow-super-bowl-li-so-he-has-some-explaining-to-do/


UPDATED: February 6, 2017 at 9:24 amSoon,

Kyle Shanahan will get his grand introduction as the 49ers’ new coach, he will be lauded by owner Jed York and he surely will be praised as the ideal man to lead this franchise back to a Super Bowl level.

Much of that might even be true, or is at least To Be Determined.But along the way, during his first official 49ers event this week, Shanahan will also have some serious explaining to do.

Specific, thorny questions will be asked about his risky play-calling for Atlanta in New England’s epic 34-28 comeback victory in overtime Sunday, and if Shanahan doesn’t have thoughtful answers, he may mess up his best chance at a great 49ers first impression.

Actually, the incredible result — having his offense fold up while blowing a 25-point second-half lead and watching Atlanta’s defense give up 31 consecutive New England points — fogged up most of Shanahan’s Super Bowl luster, anyway.

And now we’ll get to see and hear how Shanahan reacts to this, how he spells out his thinking, and how he responds to second-guessing on this very large scale; it’ll reveal some things not otherwise available to see.

Maybe Shanahan comes out of this wiser and steelier, which is TBD, also.

Of course, this isn’t at all how York and his 49ers braintrust planned this — they wanted to present Shanahan as a Super Bowl prince, a champion and the best play-caller on earth.

He would’ve been deserving of much of those accolades had he just kept things going for the Falcons and MVP Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter.

He didn’t. They didn’t. And Shanahan had a large role in the greatest Super Bowl collapse of all-time, flat out, after Atlanta held a 28-3 lead over the Patriots half-way through the third quarter.

Shanahan’s offense had been roaring all game; then, in their last several possessions — the drives that could’ve sealed a championship for Atlanta — everything got discombobulated, Shanahan called head-scratching plays that fed directly into New England’s comeback, and the Falcons never got it put back together.

At least some of that was Shanahan’s fault.

And while it certainly doesn’t rule out the possibility that Shanahan can be a very successful 49ers coach, it does raise pressing issues:
When Shanahan kept calling passing plays, even with Atlanta holding a large lead, was that an essential part of what Shanahan believes strategically?

Instead of running the ball to wind down the clock, he preferred to risk a huge turnover and big losses (which both happened to fuel New England’s comeback) by calling slow-developing deep pass plays.Yes, some of it is understandable — Ryan is a great quarterback who was on a hot streak and Shanahan obviously has great confidence in him — but there also was no need to keep pressing it.
