The combined margin of victory in those games has been 26 points.

My son had been really excited for the game ever since his kindergarten class had a Super Bowl party on Friday. I found an old football in the basement and he and his sister took turns running around the house with it and chasing each other. It was nice outside so we practiced some kickoffs in the afternoon. When the game started, he actually sat down and watched it rather than getting bored and playing legos like every other time sports are on. We had to send him to bed right after halftime. I ended up waking him up when the Pats were at 1st and goal in OT. He was pretty out of it, but was happy when they won.
He woke up still wearing his #12 jersey and was excited that the NFL Network was showing a replay. He got to see all of OT and even tried explaining it to his sister. He also put up a good fight to try and wear the same jersey to school again today.
Yay, sports.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

I wont argue Brady isn't the GOAT, him and Bill are amazing, but the Falcons choked this game away so hard. How do you have the ball up, up 8, on Pats 23 and pass the ball twice in a row, take a sack and a holding penalty and take yourself out of FG range? You have Devonta fucking Freeman, one of the best running backs in the league. RUN CLOCK, KICK THE FG.
Everyone is an expert on why the opponent should have won when the Patriots dominate.
Talk about being intellectually dishonest.
Of course no one mentions how the Pats shot themselves in the foot twice in the second quarter. Nope. Atlanta was the better team!!!!! The media lies!!!!!
FAKE NEWS!!1!!111

Freeman did look good when he was running the ball didn't he. Sadly the one play that he could have controlled- just do your job- nothing glitzy or glamarous - just do your goddam job - he couldn't do. All he had to do was stand in Hightowers way on an outside lb blitz and they probably win the game. He couldn't do it. Pats had the ball for 40 out of the 63 + minutes. Ultimately the right team won the game. Imagine that everybody thinks Belicek is a genius simply because he keeps it simple and expects people to do their jobs. What a world we live in. There are people who still expect us to do our jobs - seriously.
The Falcons had 104 net yards rushing.
The Patriots had 104 net yards rushing.
The Falcons had 284 net yards passing.
The Pats had 466 net yards passing.
Game ovah.
The better team prevailed because it was simply the better team.
Or maybe Atlanta was not "clutch enough". If you believe in that shit.
What will all you haters say next year if the Pats repeat?
You have an entire year to come up with some new excuses.
Get to work.
