NFL - Discussion

This is like hockey, don't think of going to bed till it's over.

It's not over until Brady sings.

What a game, sorry Falcon fans, that's a tough tough loss.

Congrats Patriots fan. Another one in the bag! Great comeback if I've ever seen one!

Gah so sorry Falcons fans.

WTH... That's all.. Did anyone notice that the network broadcast the patriots win by a touchdown even before the last play. .

That was the worst.

I don't get why teams don't play their game in the Super Bowl once they get a lead, or anytime for that matter. My Titans were only there once and didn't play their game in the first half and ended up missing out on a tie by 1 yard. It still stings a little. Sorry @sparkler

I was rooting for Falcons too! So sorry ....

Sorry to all here who were rooting for the falcons but overall I don't feel bad for Atlanta fans. They were really disrespectful, talked mad sh*t these past two weeks. Matt Ryan was the well deserved MVP this season, but he shouldn't even be in the same conversation with Tom Brady. I refuse to be gracious in this win so, all in all Tom Brady is the GOAT and Atlanta and their fans can kick rocks

Yes! Renee, it feels so good knowing we have the greatest coach of all time and the greatest QB of all time. Isn't it incredible? I've been to 10 championship parades in 15 years. Ahhh, the life of a Bostonian.

Enjoy your victory.  

I'm sure we'll be hearing about the "great comeback" or maybe the "biggest choke" for years to come. The Patriots are one of those teams that people can't stand unless they're a fan imo. I have a friend who will torment me for this but I just reply Spygate and Deflategate (he has a "Free Brady" tshirt ). The Patriots are clearly an excellent team so why do they feel they have to do those things?

Don't get me started on that BS . Deflategate was a sham! and everyone knows it! Goodell railroaded Brady because the other owners were big mad that the patriots beat their teams all the time. People don't want to accept it because they hate brady. The nfl literally paid 5 million dollars for an investigation that only said it's 'more probable than not' that he was 'generally aware' that footballs were being deflated. I.e. They don't know. And then suspended him for FOUR games. Never forget that the NFL only suspended ray rice for 2 games initially after he punched his now wife in the face. They didn't even prove footballs were intentionally deflated because they used different needles to check the psi so the readings were different, and they were all within the range of the ideal gas law. Every neutral scientist has said they ran tests and in their expert opinion, the balls naturally deflated.

2 years later it still gets me riled up.

Yeah, a quick google search will show you the amount of inaccurate information that was released in regards to deflate gate. ESPN was forced to apologize for many inaccuracies, although they didn't give much of an apology. It was a witch hunt. Plain and simple, IMO. Ted Wells' report didn't even say he had proof the footballs were deflated on purpose or that Brady knew about it. "He probably did" isn't proof. Brady only gave up the fight because his mother is extremely ill with cancer and she asked him to.

It just can't be disputed. No QB or coach have more Super Bowl wins or appearances than these two. Best of all time. JMO

ETA: There's another star QB in the league that has it as public knowledge that he likes to play with over inflated balls.
