Haven't caught up with the Bois thing but from remembering watching the game, hell yes by that point. You could theorize and hope and whatever but you expected absolutely nothing other than the Pats winning.

I don't think a single poster in TFF thought the Falcons would win in OT.

poo poo, most of us threw in the towel after the sack-fumble of Ryan in the middle of the 4th.

Yeah once the Pats won the toss you knew it was over. Falcons defense was gassed and had no chance. If the Falcons won the toss, it isn't a forgone conclusion.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Bois called the Edelman bobble catch "a Satanic demonstration", and explained that they knew it was over at the end because the difference between Satan and God is "Satan signs his work".

I enjoyed the comment section of non-football people watching these videos learning that, no, Saints fans absolutely are this insane and having rival theme music is completely appropriate

watching the last part of the atlanta falcons, the thing that just struck me so hard was how utterly pointless the OT period felt in the video. it wasn't nail biting tension, it wasn't growing horror at the villain triumphing, it wasn't even a sense of tragedy. It felt like denoument. We didn't need to see how the OT ended, there was never any doubt the moment that coin ended up in brady's favor. we just skipped straight into grief-driven depression. the actual plays were an afterthought, all that was really worth talking about was how everyone was left to mourn.

how was the actual game, though? did brady's triumph really feel like a forgone conclusion once OT arrived?

Yes. By and large most people knew before then, but anyone who wasn't convinced before that had no choice anymore

The reality is that most NFL QBs are neither loved nor hated outside of their city or at best division, and most of them belong in the middle in a category called "meh".

I feel like Lamar is slightly underrated if anything.

Lamar is probably underrated ability-wise but he's generally disliked because he's a doofus on social media and holds doofus opinions on vaccination and Trump.

Also no one likes Baltimore.

I'm really incredulous about the idea that the vaccine stuff is why people don't like him, although that is the least depressing explanation.
