insufferable
It's obvious the NFL has nothing to do with madden cause every play I have to wait 5-10 seconds for my taunt radial wheel decision wheel to time out so I don't have to wait even longer watching the same taunt animation over and over. I was super loving mad when 2k dropped that all pro game and they didn't have a loving franchise mode. Just one season playing as a bunch of hall of fame sex pests and murderers of which there are no eagles players because my team has always been pure and noble in character and deed.

Salt?ive never seen even falcon fans get mad at 28-3. They seem to have just accepted it at this point

It's 28-12 with 9 minutes left after the Falcons sack Brady twice to force a FG. That's when the Falcons had a 99.6% victory chance.

3rd and 1, Matt Ryan gets strip sacked. If DeVonta Freeman slows Hightower down, Matt Ryan sees it and eats the sack or throws the ball away, or they just called a loving QB sneak, the Patriots almost certainly run out of time and lose that game.

Two point conversion, if the Falcons D can stop a tricky little direct snap to James White, they win.

Next drive, the Falcons hit two huge plays including one of the great SB catches to put them on the 22 with 4:40 left. 3 runs up the gut and a ~40 yard FG attempt and they're up 2 scores under 3 minutes left, they win.

Instead -1 run, 12 yard sack, holding, 3rd and 33 from the New England 45 with 3:45 left. Incomplete pass, could've just eaten a sack to get a little more punting room and taken it down under 3 minutes at least, but instead tried a low percentage sideline pass that would've made it a ~50 yard FG attempt.

At least they trap the Patriots on their own 9, and Brady misses 2 passes to start so it's 3rd and 10... and he hits Chris Hogan for a 16 yard pass between 2 defenders. If Keanu Neal isn't a step slow, he can break it up, and pretty much game over.

Two plays later is that ridiculous Robert Alford tip that Edelman somehow catches inbetween 3 DB's. Like how the gently caress did that end up complete? After which Brady just clowns on them for 3 passes to the 1 then an easy run in TD, then an easy 2 point conversion pass.

Falcons had 52s left, return the kickoff??? to the 11 and throw 2 short passes. C'mon guys you could've at least tried here. Great offenses have done minute drives for a FG tons of times.

Then OT was perfunctory, the Falcons D was done.

Why not mention of the Falcons snapping the ball with 10-15 seconds on the play clock every play when holding a two score lead in the fourth quarter? That was the dumbest decision in a huge pile of dumb decisions.

I love the salt every time 28-3 comes up. That alone made the whole thing worth it.

There's a video from inside a watch party in Atlanta of the game, and just watching the atmosphere completely change over the course of the game as the lead starts slipping away and the inevitable starts to dawn on everyone is incredible. Very "of course, of loving course, of loving course" energy

Part one was just released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx_ORMhpmoU

It starts out with 28-3 and then breaks into the history of the Falcons, in part 2 he'll bring it back around. Jon Bois is so, so good

Offense. Defense had the excuse of at least being gassed. They also got a pick 6 so that’s part of that 28.

That’s the thing, this was an all-time top ten scoring offense, and they only put up 21 points. Granted, against a solid defense and against a mastermind of a coach, but still.

If Atlanta actually won, the pick six would’ve been the iconic moment of that Super Bowl instead of, well, everything after 28-3.

If it's only for a night I can live without you
The total lack of effort by Freeman on that strip sack is the play that stands out forever. Hightower is already drilling Matt Ryan when Freeman looks back and is like ohh....

He didn't even try to block him either. That's the kind of poo poo that would never fly on a Bellichick team, and exhibit A of this is not how you pass protect as a running back

One can argue that even though his play-calling lead to their monumental collapse, that never stopped the Niners from hiring him to be their guy.

That said, one poorly-called game in the second half shouldn't disqualify someone with an otherwise solid resume from getting a job.

E: now that I think about it, he might have already agreed in principle to be their head coach before Super Bowl LI
