Didn't think it was possible but oh so sweet, the booing Goddell received and then the death stare from Kraft to was soo awesome. Hopefully it's the last time this scumbag of a commissioner has to be part of a super bowl, **** you goddell your dictatorship didn't stop TOM 5 Rings BRADY from becoming the undisputed GOAT QB

He will bring this sucker home while you scumbag will hopefully receive more boos on your way home worst part of the sb 51 you sob.

Would have given the MVP to White.
The Falcons are a team on the rise and they really controlled the game till the 4th, if they Black cam keep this team together they might be in another super bowl next year scary team just need to controll their emotions better.

Or run the ball like they did in the first half, Awful coaching. The strayed away from what was working for them in the first half, makes no sense. Also time management you want to run the ball not pass. They lost that game themselves, not taking anything away from Brady and Co but if the falcons kept doing what they did in the first half the pats would have never came back.

To be honest if Edelman doesn't pull of this ridiculous catch who knows if the Pats would have had their 2 point conversation. Reminded me of that Baldwin spin oh rama catch 2 years before

Erasing a 19 points deposit in roughly16 minutes is insane. Lost in all of this is also the fact that Bill Belichik is now the only coach with 5 sb wins. Dare I say goat of coaches

He tied Lombardi, either way he is the best Coach ever, 7 superbowl apperances and 5 wins. Hes the best.

what a game.
i was right for about 45 minutes...

Falcon's D just get tired or what?

Also, I'd love to hear what the Pat's OC & DCs were thinking at halftime. The adjustments they made were solid. Did the Belichik simply tell his OC to stop calling stupid plays?

Falcons stopped running the ball, they gave the pats that game.

sad for Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and the Falcons. They had a great season and could have easily won that game if they had made a few minor adjustments.

One of the best superbowls I've watched in a long time. I'm happy to see Brady, Belichick and the Pats achieve what they have, but at the same time I'm sad for Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and the Falcons. They had a great season and could have easily won that game if they had made a few minor adjustments.

I also gotta say I wasn't very impressed with this years commercials.

Commercials sucked!

I agree that The Falcons made some bad decisions towards the end and also its hard to 2nd guess everything now after the fact.
Im sure if they would have got a first down closer down or a field goal it would have been over so they wanted to win it and not just eat up the clock not knowing if they would get close enough by running it.
It was a great game and a nail biter for sure :)

Apples and Oranges. Greybeards would argue that Brady wouldn't survive the defenses of yesteryear. Back before the million and one rules protecting QB's and handcuffing defenses. As for numbers; Montana's 11-0 TD-INT Super Bowl record probably will never be broken. As for having a loaded team, how come HOF QB Steve Young never won a SB the same Niners?

I have been in the Montana is GOAT camp for a long time. But after yesterday, IMO, Brady deserves that title. Brady managed to play well in his twilight years, something Montana could not do. THAT is what tips the scale in favor of Brady in my book; not the rings, not the stats. Brady's ability to play at an elite level for so long is why he's the best ever.

All of this right here. Up until the twilight years. Montana had less of a chance because of the era he played in taking a bigger toll on the body. QB's weren't protected by the rules they are now.

I'm not saying Brady isn't getting hit, he's just not suffering the same kind of hits QBs did in the past. If Montana played the game today, he wouldn't have been so banged up, and he would have decimated with the rules favoring offense.

And if Brady wins a couple more....in my mind would he surpass Montana. Prolly not. 11-0 TD-Int is too damn hard to overlook. The job of the QB is to protect the ball when you release it. Montana did exactly that, on every pass, against the best opposing team the league could throw at him..... 4 times.


edit: and I stand firm behind that Edelman should have been the Superbowl MVP.
 
According to ESPN, since 2001, 394 teams have trailed by at least 25 points in the first three quarters of a game. The Patriots are the third team to win. That's right, 3 teams have won, 391 have lost. What happened yesterday was unreal.

I think before this game it was close to half of the people you'd talk to would pick Brady and half to Montana for GOAT. I think it's definitely skewed in Brady's direction after that game yesterday.

super bowl 49 will be hard to beat. It was a thriller till the end all the Hawks needed to do was give the ball to beast mode but that interception by Buttler was one for the ages
 
All the Patriots Super Bowls have been exciting games.

That 11-0 record means nothing that Patriots haters like to mention.
The job of the QB is to win games period. Working as a team and getting to the "W" without ever giving up till the last second is what matters not to protect the ball when you release it. Nonsense....
Keep living in the past. The game is very different, improved and better than it was 30 years ago when Montana played. Montana did not accomplish half of the things Brady did so far and would never have won a game like yesterdays or the many 4th quarter comebacks that Brady played his heart out over the years.
Call me when another QB makes it to 7 Super Bowls, wins 5 of them and passes the wins and the stats that Tom Brady has so far and that will only keep improving since I dont see him retiring yet.
He's the Michael Jordan of Football. Tom Brady simply gets it done. Undisputed GOAT without a doubt with the greatest comeback in super bowl history yesterday!
Brady turned the game around, Edelman made a great catch but also dropped a lot of passes earlier during the game. One good catch doesn't make you the MVP. If anything James White played better and had more touchdowns and yardage than Julian. But without a doubt the MVP of the game is Tom Brady with his unbelievable 4th quarter and overtime winning drives.

Enjoy the video:D

The parade is today, and I opted to work from home, rather then be subjected to that level of craziness though I wonder if the weather (rainy/sleet/snow is in the forecast) will decrease the number of people showing up.

I remember prior rallies here in Boston and people start showing up at 6:00am and it goes down hill from there.

1. And Montana never lost a Super Bowl. Brady has.

2. Montana's nickname was "Comeback Kid"

I'll have to disagree.
Someone that never gives up and keeps repeatedly winning even after he gets knocked down is the greatest ever.
Not someone who went there less times, won less but didn't lose;)

Terry Bradshaw has 4 rings too. Never lost on the big stage. He's equal to Montana. Why don't you think he is the greatest? Or at least he is miles ahead of Brady, right?

Hey there's also QB's that went to the final 1 time and won.
So that makes them undefeated in the Superbowl too :D
Are they also the greatest since it doesn't matter how many you win, if you lose any you're not considered? :D lol
