Sup Falcons fans! Welcome, welcome. Got room in the "choked to the Pats" club right here. "Shoulda run the ball," right? Yeah, get used to hearing that. Don't worry. It get easier to deal with eventually. no it doesn't Much love, Seahawks Fans.

Groovelord Neato posted:kearse's catch is actually the best ever. Lost...to history... I mean I'm a Hawks fan but you've kinda gotta be on the winning team to have a best ever catch else it'll just be forgotten. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

FizFashizzle posted:Right before that Coleman went out. Jimmy Graham blocks now, it just turns out it's kind of a waste of Jimmy Graham to use him for that. This SB was objectively not as good as XLIX, and I say that as a Seahawks fan. That game had punches and counterpunches, some crazy swings down the stretch. This had the Pats playing like hot trash for three quarters and then the Falcons making GBS threads it all away in a fashion that was totally predictable depressingly early in the comeback.

Rabid Snake posted:Worse choke job? My instinct is to say Warriors was worse because they were the best team in the NBA that season, that one really feels like 18-1. However, you could make a strong argument for SBLI, because the Falcons had victory entirely under their own control--two runs up the gut and a FG seals the game, and they pissed it away getting cute. I'd put Cleveland below those two because the Cubs were the favorite in the series and it was reasonably foreseeable that the Indians could fold due to their lack of depth at starting pitcher.

Akileese posted:I'd say Falcons was worse than the Warriors. I think I agree with this. The Warriors series loss took more work, but I can't remember any particular point where the Cavs were wholly within the Warriors' power and had almost no sway in whether they were able to win. The Pats were absolutely hosed after that Julio catch, literally any points puts it out of reach. Two runs and what is basically an extra point (although you know the Pats would try to leap the line) and the Falcons take it. A lot can happen in one game, but the Falcons had this one by the balls and let it slip away.

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:If Elway, Brees or Rodgers had pulled off that comeback, not one of you would be placing the onus entirely on the Falcons' ineptitude. What? Yes, of course I would. That's why I think this is a bigger choke than the Warriors. The Falcons were in a position where it didn't matter how good the opposing QB was, they could have won regardless. And they hosed it up! Brady could be a satanic cyborg guided missile murder machine and he still probably couldn't come back from 11 down with 3:30 left and no timeouts. It would have taken a successful onside for one thing, which the Pats already showed wasn't likely.

axeil posted:So bigger question, which comeback is more absurd, this or the one the Seahawks pulled off against the Packers in the NFCCG? Yeah, that's the closest thing I can compare this to. I'm a huge Seahawks fan, but they don't win that game without massive fuckups in both strategy and execution on the Packers' end. That one was really really bad. There were a couple of spots where the Pack could have sealed it if they hadn't been so conservative. And they had that missed onside recovery, plus some ri-di-cu-lous Russell Wilson bullshit plays like that two point conversion. I'd say tie goes to Falcons/Pats though, simply because it was the drat Super Bowl. Not to mention that the Seahawks and Packers had both recently won rings, while Atlanta... whew, what a brutal loss.

TBeats posted:He came back from 25 down in 18 minutes in the Super Bowl. That's amazing, he just walked on in the 4th quarter with a blank slate and won the game? Who did he replace at QB for them to be losing 28-3? It was Brissett, right? He must have been pretty bad to let the Falcons D score more than he did in 3 quarters. Boy must he be embarrassed! Luckily Brady was around to step in and also to tell Shanahan not to run the ball so he had time to come back.

Groovelord Neato posted:the falcons were only in the position they were cuz brady did actually play like poo poo for a half or so. Not to mention how thoroughly unimpressive it is for his offense to score 28 points against the Falcons D in regulation. That puts him in this season's luminous company of Winston (twice), Brees (twice), Newton, Rivers, Rodgers, and Carr (the Chiefs also scored 29 but one was a Berry pick six). Brady was so horrible in the first 3 quarters that he had to do it all in the 4th, and even then he had to rely on the Falcons loving up every facet of the game to come back.

SHOAH NUFF posted:I'm not even a Falcons fan and I still keep thinking about it...... It's almost unbelievable. And of course Pats fans (and I guess the Pats themselves) are acting like their team just steamrolled their competition when they were completely dead to rights. That game was over and the Falcons let them off the hook.
