Atlanta called 5 running plays after going up 28-3.
I've seen this mentioned a few places, but I haven't confirmed the play-by-play. But man, if true, that's messed up. that's incredible. you have to wonder how much mack's injury played a role in this
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

My first post so I apologize for the repeated info.
I watched the whole first half then the Lady Gaga halftime show made me so sleepy due to how dumb it was. I dozed in and out during the second half.
I can't believe Atlanta wouldn't have milked the clock more. About as common sense as it gets. They seemed in the first half to be able to do/execute anything they wanted. Julio Jones was unstoppable and they frequently gave that corner over the top help, still unstoppable.
Not sure how Atlanta truly managed to blow it, but I won't be going back to watch the second half to find out. Shame. You should watch it even if you hate the Patriots, it's definitely worth watching.

Julie Jones catch would of ranked up there with the helmet catch had their offense actually managed a field goal that drive. Then Edelman followed that one up with an ankle catch that was even more amazing.

The Patriots came back from down 3 scores to 1.
3. 1.
Let that remind you that The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Am I the only one that pronounces hyperbole "Hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bo-le"?

I've seen a lot of "best super bowl" labels today. I disagree. The pats did make a historic comeback. In the end, it was all Falcons first half, all Patriots second half.
It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

Bill Belichick asked a bout soaking it in: "As great as today is, in all honesty, we're five weeks behind in the 2017 season." That's my coach

Didn't Atlanta also lose 1 or two other linemen as well?
I know I saw their RT on the ground, and I want to say they lost a guard after that.

WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM
my two cents...

In terms of exciting games from start to finish the Seattle v NE Super Bowl was fairly tight throughout and decided on the goal line pick was far more exciting to watch. So was the '08 NYG v NE game. Last night was incredible as we watched a systematic, methodical and clinical comeback that seemed completely out of the realm of possibility. The fact it was carried out in essentially 1.5 qtrs was also pretty amazing. I do think Shanahan has a lot to answer for and to be honest, even when he was with us we questioned some of his decisions. I know everybody is second guessing the choice to throw rather than run and take the FG if needed to go up by 11 but....we have seen these overly cute play calls time and time again by Shanny and last night it came back to bite him. Big time. Now, before I get lambasted....NO, I am not saying it was all on Shanny but, that drive was a headscratcher. My 16 year old son was even shouting "what are they doing...just run the ball!".
