All the Pats WR's contributed in times of great need. Amedola's 2-point conversion, with the game hanging in the balance, was epic...
Edelmam drew their best CB, had some drops and misques with Brady, but ended up with the most memorable play of the SB. He got kicked in the face and fought off 3 pairs of hands and a guy's foot...

This just might be the greatest super bowl ever. Congrats to Tom Brady. Mr MVP!

I just got back from watching the game with a good number of anti-Trumpers who also of course hate the Patriots. What a sweet ending. After having to endure the hooting as the Pats were put into a big hole, it was worth it to hear the wails as they came back and won in what has to be the most incredible manner in football history. Still not tired of winning!!!

Brady broke Kurt Warner's record for the most passing yards in a Super Bowl - 466 yards. It was also the 2nd most yardage in any playoff game. Bernie Kosar threw for 489 yards during a divisional game in 1986.

I didn't care to think about it at the time, but the only negative is the stupid overtime rules. Both teams should get equal amount of possessions. Not sure how they decide to change the rules and still screw up like that. Obviously I'm happy with the result but if Patriots lost that flip and Atlanta scored a TD to end the game without Patriots being able to respond I'd be livid.
I was thinking the same thing myself. But, Atlanta was on the field, and could have stopped them.

Belichick is from the Tom Landry school. He knows how to handle those guys. Blount has caused trouble for other coaches but not with Belichick.

I prefer to think of it as payback for the Seattle-Green Bay NFC Championship where the Seahawks won the coin toss and won in overtime with a touchdown, and Rodgers never got to see the field. Karma.
The overtime rules basically eliminate athletic merit from the game. It becomes a flip of the coin. Sure the defense can cause a stop but its a inconceivably strong disadvantage to the team that loses the coin toss. The fact that this rule isnt lambasted by the media constantly speaks volumes of the low quality of modern sportswriters and the non-reflective nature of the majority of sports fans.

Got home and started watching the highlights over and over and over. I said to myself, "I gotta go on CF and gloat with the most informed and knowledgeable fans on the face of the earth"! What a game! All hail King Brady! The GOAT! This is a great day!

After the fact prediction but I did figure that if things got tight Atlanta would be the ones to wilt.
Speaking of wilting once Atlanta went up 21-0 I couldn't handle it and went for a ride. I was 99 percent sure the Pats were done, and even if they came back I can't handle the stress of nail biters any more. I wanted NE to win so bad.
When I got back I checked CF to see what happened. It was fun to go through the posts and learn they had won.

Brady as Super Bowl MVP and Matt Ryan as NFL MVP...worked out great for Our Side.
What a game and what a win, I still prefer Montana, Manning, and Marino but Brady has had a hell of a career and could play until he's 45 easily (unless he gets hurt)
Edelman, Hogan and Amendola's success on the biggest stages could really help the draft stock of Kupp, Hansen, Taylor, Sperbeck etc (in a fair world it would at least). Imagine if this pats team would take Caff and Kupp this year though!
