Really hope the Super Bowl isn't going to suck this bad. I really expected both of these games to be great today and they were both awful if you're not a fan of either winning team.
 
Oh yeah ... and BLAME ANTONIO BROWN FOR POSTING FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEO!!!! IT IS HIS FAULT THEY LOST TODAY! MAYBE HE WILL FACEBOOK LIVE THE LOCKER ROOM AFTER THE GAME!!
 
Pats D is looking pretty damn good.

I think we are going to have a great SB, Matt Ryan has the monkey off his back and it showed today. Both teams are really good and win or lose the Patriots never disappoint in the SB. I realize a lot of people just HATE the Pats but no one can say they play boring Superbowls.

IMO it made zero difference to the Patriot's, all of them understood Tomlin would have used "asshole" regardless of who the next opponent was. Make no mistake though, Brown showed the most disrespect I've ever seen from a player, he's your coach, your supposed to have his back not STAB his back for a quick buck.

Pats are 3 point favourites right now. Seems right. I think I like the Falcons a bit at that number.

Geez, ya just don't give Brady that amount of time to pass - crushed, even with Gronk out. Pats D was excellent, Steelers D was static and lethargic. Didn't see the Falcons game, tough to predict SB when Conference champs crush their opponents.
 
It's 51 years of Falcons history that has conditioned you to not expect a game like that.

Yeah, I know. There was a glimmer when Vick was around, but that ended up decimating the team for years afterward.

now for some kismet perhaps....this is the 51st year the Falcons have been in existence. This is also Super Bowl 51. Interesting, hmmmm?

But I doubt the Pats play bad enough to lose the SB to the Falcons, but one can hope, can't one?

Falcons should try to sign Eli for a temporary 2 week contract. He doesn't even have to play. He can just show up at the SB and Brady will just cry.

Actually it wasn't Eli that was Brady's tormentor in those 2 games, it was the Giant D-line. Didn't help when the defense collapsed TWICE after Brady had got them in the lead.

Yes, you can, Atlanta is not a joke, they beat a tough Seattle team handily and turned the most talented QB into a non-factor in a complete blow-out. This is not done with smoke, mirrors, or luck, the Falcons are a VERY good team, expect a great SB.

Curiously, one would have thought the Pitt coaching staff looked at last week's game vs the Texans in which Brady did eventually complete passes and scored points he was sacked several times and forced into some bad throws he usually doesn't make. You simply cannot play a "zone" defense vs Brady as Pitt tried last night. If the Texans had a decent QB that doesn't gift the opponent 3 picks in the 2nd half that game was winnable.

Falcons D was pretty outstanding too. They were up 31-0 before they let the Packers score.

Yeah, it was really strange. Belichick & Brady suck down tape like its porn. Sometimes I really wonder if other teams study tape or just watch it.
