ppl will lol at me for this but tactically the patriots can rarely be accused of hubris; meanwhile mike shanahan's son actually thought he had figured this game out

i have to find a replay on the internets and watch asap. seriously, i know the pats are evil and evil will always triumph but there is no way any team should be able to come back down 25 points in the super bowl what the fuck

are we sure this has really happened or am i now on earth 2 and hillary won the election

i had really just come to terms with the pats losing the game once i heard about the score at halftime. how did this happen

i had the same experience except i watched the game

paraphrasing what was correctly said about the cubs' world series clincher this past year: joe buck is woefully underqualified to announce games like this.

nomar, Monday, 6 February 2017 07:36 (seven years ago) link

hooo-ly fuck!!!!! this is what I wake up to after bailing on the game after the 3rd quarter hahahahaha

So, who won? I've just watched two long news reports on the Superbowl, one on BBC, one on Sky, and neither showed so much as a second of the match or told you the result. LOL Britishes.

So we got our revenge by making them another shitload of cash

El Tomboto, Monday, 6 February 2017 13:11 (seven years ago) link

silver lining to all this is that James White, an ex-Badger, wound up pretty much being the non-Brady MVP, which as a Wisconsin sports fan gives me at least some reason to not hate all this

Shanahan takes 49ers job with Falcons' run over

just saw this headline on ESPN and initially missed the key apostrophe

nomar, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 01:03 (seven years ago) link

i just watched the full game and what struck me was definitely how patient new england was.. there wasn't some epic meltdown by atlanta.. just chipped away at it and so many things had to go right for NE, and somehow they did. man. how do you have a 1st down at the 22 and go backwards out of FG range

evil pats 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 (daria-g), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 02:19 (seven years ago) link

by not running lol

lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 02:22 (seven years ago) link

lol Atlanta completely melted down tho

where the players play

example (crüt), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 02:54 (seven years ago) link

Literally could have just taken a knee twice and won the game

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 02:59 (seven years ago) link

i don't think anyone has any complaints about the fairness of this result, but current playoff overtime rules don't seem ideal

mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 21:05 (seven years ago) link

i feel like they are in a good place right now. you think both teams should be guaranteed a possession?

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 21:25 (seven years ago) link

yeah, i think so. obviously there's the argument 'play some defense' but i'd like to see both sides forced to do so.

mookieproof, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 21:36 (seven years ago) link

i was honestly kinda shocked by the sudden death rules, i thought both were going to get at least one possession

jason waterfalls (gbx), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 21:36 (seven years ago) link

One possession each would be fair. It was clear that the coin toss basically meant game over. As much as I like the result, it's hard to argue that it's the fairest system.

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Tuesday, 7 February 2017 21:42 (seven years ago) link

yeah the if a field goal get a second chance but not a td ot rule is kinda odd, they cld just even play a whole quarter wld that be so bad

lag∞n, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 22:49 (seven years ago) link

no idea why they just don't do the college way. its absolutely perfect.

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link

why not just do college rules it is 100x more exciting

k3vin k., Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:02 (seven years ago) link

lol didnt even read spottie's post, spottie otm

k3vin k., Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:03 (seven years ago) link

it really is perfect idgi

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:05 (seven years ago) link

hate the college rules, eliminates special teams.

and hate playing a full quarter, teams are already too tired at the end of 4.

call all destroyer, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:15 (seven years ago) link

but they still have field goals with college rules?

Spottie, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:28 (seven years ago) link

guaranteed possession and full quarter options make ties more likely, which the league (and americans in general ime) are deathly afraid of

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:50 (seven years ago) link

otherwise they are fairest in a vacuum for sure

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 7 February 2017 23:52 (seven years ago) link

i'm guessing the nfl doesn't like the way records would be broken with college-style OT, dudes throwing an extra three touchdowns because they started on the 20, etc. but they could also just declare 'these stats don't count' and give the winning team one extra point

mookieproof, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 00:04 (seven years ago) link

College OT makes stats wacky and for fantasy football, that would be kind of a thing.

The Pro OT as it is now seems reasonable, losing sudden death on a 50 yard FG seemed kinda cheap and this evens it out.

Atlanta could have gotten the ball, but it would not have mattered, that team was half dead tired and the other half had the deer in the head light look. I haven't found the replay yet of that sack Ryan took, but when he got up I swear his eyes looked as googly as that old Reche Caldwell shot for the Pats years back. Ryan KNEW he had seriously f-ed up on that sack. They could have just stopped then...the Falcons were done.

earlnash, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 00:05 (seven years ago) link

college ot is too gimmicky imo, its like u decided to play some other sport at the end of the game, like penalty shots in soccer

lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 02:08 (seven years ago) link

tbf college overtime football is kind of a cooler sport than regular football

k3vin k., Wednesday, 8 February 2017 02:28 (seven years ago) link

So is pro league of legends
