Close, but basically Brady goes nuts and throws the ball 50+ times way more then anyone else, and is the only one to use it as a winning strategy and not just a fallback when way behind

And if you want a more comparable game, Drew Brees had one a few years ago where he threw 63 times, for 462 yards and 4 TDs, getting the go-ahead TD with less than 2 minutes left against one of the best defenses in the league in the 49ers after being down the entire game.

It's just that the Saints D was a paper towel that let Alex Smith walk down the field and toss a TD to Vernon Davis like he was Joe Montana or something.

Also, since the 50+ attempts number is pretty silly, here's the 40+ attempts table:

I feel like this is the critical point. Bill gameplans for this, and uses the short passing game as a substitute for the running game because he sees/exploits mismatches. It's never a 'oh we're down 2+ scores, time to bomb it' strategy. And don't get me wrong, Brady is a great QB for being able to execute it, and have a high completion % while doing it. And I'm fine calling him the GOAT, he's done it with poo poo receivers for most of his career minus the time with Moss. There's plenty of reasons to admire the guy, I just feel like saying this was his greatest game and a testament to his awesomeness is really loving overblown considering how many basic things the Falcons hosed up and how many tiny miracles had to happen for it to occur.

Up shit creek with a turd for a paddle.

What a deflating meltdown by the Falcons... only called 5 run plays after they were up 28-3 and Matt kept snapping it with like 12 seconds on the play clock. So frustrating! At least they should be decent next year, hope they don't go for Chip Kelly.

Football nerdist poo poo nobody pays attention to because we just posting ____ is shook:

One of the punt returns the Patriots tried a trick play that no one mentioned, which is why they ended up with pretty bad field position, but it would've probably been a touchdown if the gunner didn't play it great:

that's insane. this basically shows that only one coach in the NFL knows when to abandon the run on purpose. also those 93 plays don't count all the defensive penalties the pats drew

This is horseshit. Edelman, Welker and Gronk are all really good players. What's more is that those early superbowls he wasn't the main reason they won. I'm all for calling him the greatest, but lets not act like he had no help at any of the skill positions ever at any point.

I'm really glad Gronk got to play in the Seahawks-Pats super bowl because I'm not sure he's ever going to get to another one without an injury. Which really, really sucks as he's such a fun player to watch.

I wonder how often teams try that play but it just goes unnoticed when it doesn't work. Every time a team pulls it off I wonder why I don't see it more (I know it's very situational, but still), but maybe it's just that you don't always see the guy faking the catch since the camera dudes are usually faked out and it's not discussed if it doesn't result in a big return.

yeah I mean, I thought the return looked weird, but they didn't even show a replay, so I just figured the punter had made a great kick and Edelman fair caught it at the sideline for no discernible reason. Then this pops up and I'm like, oh I didn't even see Edelman go the other way... ohhhh

Beware the Forest's Mushrooms

That punt return might be my favorite non-Pats play. I love tricky bullshit like that.

The only bad thing about that Super Bowl (besides playing like crap for like 40 minutes): Edelman is no longer perfect in passing.
The only way it could have been better: A game-ending safety after Atlanta got the ball back when Pats tied it.

Overall, I'm just glad that if my home republic is going to be destroyed, at least my team won a game.
