We miss you Mike.
Your tears nourish me. Whine more plz.

40 out of 63 minutes and people still think that the Pats weren't the better team. Joke. I will say this for most of my southern friends. They get it. They might not like it but the do get it. New England dominated on the los when the game mattered the most.
There's not much you can say about that game. It spoke for itself. The Patriots refused to die. Brady is a beast and other guys on the offense and the defense had to come up big and they did. It was an amazing 20+ minutes of football they played.
I can always count on Bell to bring honesty and facts in his posts.

"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."
How is it an excuse? It was pure stupidity by the Falcons. Please logically explain why the Falcons would not run the ball when they are up 8, on the Pats 23 yard line late in the 4th quarter. Run the ball three times, play it safe, even if you don't get a first down, you are easily in Matt Bryant field goal range.
I don't care the Patriots won, I just don't understand the Falcons logic in that situation. And they didn't just pass the ball, Ryan took like a 10 step drop when he got sacked.

it's fixed?
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Shanahan's explanation is that they wanted the insurance and they trusted the newly-minted MVP to lead a TD drive.

Then the answer is that the coaches did not have enough experience or ability to put together and stay with a winning game plan.
Not all teams are equal. Not even the coaches could match up with their Pats counterparts.
No shame in that. 31 teams are in the same boat.

A second year head coach was tremendously over-matched by BB.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
BB made his own blunder with the onside IMO. Then again, I'm not a football coaching legend.
We miss you Mike.
They had a lot of confidence in their passing game. And it was 2 passing plays that got them where they were on that drive.
Questioning Atlanta's decisions after the fact is what we all tend to do. If Atlanta had played an extremely conservative brand of f/ball late in the game things might have worked out for them but there were still plenty of things that could have gone wrong. Giving Brady the football back with an 8 point lead with any time left on the clock was the last thing that anybody in their right mind would want to do. Moving the ball as far as you could by any means possible is what most coaches would have done. It didn't work out and the better team won the game.
Ryan certainly made a huge mistake taking the sack instead of getting rid of the ball.
