The Atlanta D was gassed and the offense did not have nearly enough plays. Did they choke? Definitely. It's easy to point fingers and blame play calling but in the end it was a collective collapse .

I'm not going to blame the ATL D because they were not going to stop Brady the whole game. Brady's receivers were dropping on point passes left and right in the 1st half. It was only a matter of time before they got their sh*t together which came just at the right time. I'm going back to the 2 and 1 play-call, the sack, then the penalty that took them out of FG range. Those 3 plays lost it for ATL. Forget about everything else that happened in the game. They were at the NE 22 yard line with an elite FG kicker.

The 49ers came back and lost, falcons on the other hand dropped the ball.

Re-watched the game last night and noticed the two point conversion by the Pats should've been a offensive PI. Pats receivers were blocking right after the ball was hiked.

Just my 2 cents.

Good point, is there a 5 yard bump rule for WRs as well?

Did you notice the Ryan fumble? Arm and ball went forward. Refs didn't bother to even review it.

NFL is rigged.

refs immediately threw a flag just in case the pats didn't get in.

The guy jumped offsides. What do you expect?

I have a message to Steve Mariucci:

Its you to blame with that choice in 2000 draft.You pick an yoga farmer with a TOP 5 EVER in that draft!!!!!

Your aura of QB guru will ALWAYS be stained by that mistake

No, but they aren't suppose to block until either the ball is in the air or till the receiver catches it. I forgot which one it was, either way, the Pats receivers didn't do neither or those.

Freeney did also jump off sides but even that is questionable. Either way it should've been off setting penalties.

Sucks to lose a sb but there's is much much worse. We never lead in our sb, they lead by 25 points.
