So they took their Poll.  Who is this Forum pulling for?  (Not who do you think will win).  Choices are Patriots, Falcons, or Pizza places.

I'll start it off.  I'm pulling for the Patriots.

And in 1971, Mayor Ken Ritter declared Beaumont the Pro Football Capital of the World.  There were 16 players from Beaumont that year.  Twice as many as any other city in America.

Go Dirty Birds!!!

I would be okay with either team winning. It would be nice to see Ryan and that group win one, but I think I'll be "pulling" for Brady and that Patriots. You don't get to see greatness often, and I am not sure how many more years we will get to. True greatness.

I don't care who wins either. If Atlanta plays like they did against Green Bay, they will win. All defenses try to pressure the opposing QB, but with Brady it is imperative. Brady is the key.

Falcons win

Fun fact?   You know one thing both of Atlanta's Super Bowl teams have in common?  A starter from Bridge City.  Good luck to Matt Bryant and RIP to the late, great Shane Dronett.

For the second straight year, I'm having to switch back and forth between the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open golf tournament because the golf tourney went into a playoff. (They're currently playing the 3rd extra hole.)

I didn't realize how good Atlanta's defense is!

[Hagar]

After the first half, I gave up on the game.  Then my son called and said Pats were driving.  Switched back and saw Pats score and they were still down 8.  What a finish.  Biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, and first overtime.  First 3 Qtrs were hoo-hum, but that fourth, that was exciting.  Final 34-28 Pats.

i have to say, Brady has my vote as the best all time, although there's arguments for others.  But in winning those 5 SB's, he's only had 1 Pro Bowl receiver that I can think of, Randy Moss.  Most of his receivers have been castoffs, and guys you wouldn't even remember their names.

I haven't seen someone blow that big of a lead since Hillary's 2016 Presidential Campaign....

[PhatMack19]

Awesome game.  

 

That dumba%% kicker cost me $500 missing that PAT.  What idiot decided it was a good idea to back the kick up that far?  Stupid

When Atlanta went up 28-3 early in the 2nd half I knew there was too much time left in the game.

Shane Dronett was a beast.  Now that you mention it I do remember hearing he had passed away. RIP.

Atlanta did exactly what you are not supposed to do when Brady is down.....give him life with a turnover and quick score. Then, the onsides kick that you do nothing with at mid field. Drive and kick a FG would have been enough. Atlanta truly had them beat. You have to play 4 quarters against Brady because that is when he is his best.

My exact words all night.

Nothing mentioned about the commercials. Hard to beat this old Budweiser commercial....
