I think the experience plays into their hands early in the game. This reason plus the longer halftime says to me Bill will take the ball if given a chance, try to get a double digit lead early while Ryan and Co shake off nerves then make them sit with a longer than normal halftime and come out cold again.No one on Atlanta's vaunted offense has ever played in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady has played in more SB's than all of the Falcons combined. Lots of other key Pats on both sides of the ball have SB experience (of course).
BB and TFB and their "do your job" crew are coming to Houston. The Falcons will score some points, but unless they can somehow come up with an all-world rush, the Pats are going to rock and/or roll.
What if I told you Joe Vellano was on Atlanta's active roster for this game?Falcons 37-24.
Tom Brady has a "Bad Brady" Postseason game. Has two costly picks that Atlanta gobbles up 10 points converting. Brady still puts in a few TD's to make the stat line look good, but game is over with 8 minutes left in the 4th.
]I see panther super bowl. Sort of nothing in first half and then all hell breaks loose. Pats 41-falcons 35
Great combo with the picture.When did Seattle turn it over???
Agreed. Like 2004 ALCS game 7 level laugher.Jesus just once out of seven times you'd think we could get the Pats in a laugher, just so we could sit back and enjoy it for once.
28-10 halftime w Brady and Co w the ball to start. A badly beaten down ATL d drops a near INT on a 2nd and long. Bradys next pass is a 45 yard KO TD to Hogan. Commence party.Agreed. Like 2004 ALCS game 7 level laugher.
This got me thinking about the year Talib got hurt and the game just turned 180 to Denver. If butler goes down (or someone else on the DBarring some truly bizarre events in this game (Brady throwing 4 picks.... two special teams TDs for one team, a rash of injuries.
You know full well that's not in the cards.Jesus just once out of seven times you'd think we could get the Pats in a laugher, just so we could sit back and enjoy it for once.
Dude, think you've got a bit of a counting problem. I have 2-0 / 1-1 / 1-1 for the 3 categories.BaseballJones said:Turnovers in the Pats' previous six Super Bowls:
- vs. StL: StL 3, NE 0
- vs. Car: Car 1, NE 1
- vs. Phi: Phi 4, NE 1
- vs. NYG: NYG 1, NE 1
- vs. NYG: NYG 0, NE 1
- vs. Sea: Sea 1, NE 2
TOT: Opp 10, NE 6
The Pats are 3-0 in SBs when they win the turnover battle.
The Pats are 0-1 in SBs when they are tied in the turnovers.
The Pats are 1-1 in SBs when they lose the turnover battle.
You are right, my bad. So they don't lose SBs with a + turnover margin, and are 50/50 to win in any other situation.Dude, think you've got a bit of a counting problem. I have 2-0 / 1-1 / 1-1 for the 3 categories.
No mistakes in our posts this late in the season, people. Do Your Job!
What's the equivalent to Pedro coming in the 7th? Suiting up Brissett, and letting him play a series?Agreed. Like 2004 ALCS game 7 level laugher.

Check the media forum for his postSigns this week are strong. First Shannon Sharpe fawning to Brady and now Bart Hubbuch...
FIRED?
Same here. I feel like this is going to feel quite a bit like a higher scoring version of SB39, where a lead is pretty steady throughout, because of strong defensive line play, and smart throws to running backs, but just can't put them away on the scoreboard. They'll try to make a comeback of it late, but come up a little bit short.31-27 Pats.
Make it 33-9 and I win a lot of money.When I close my eyes, I see this thing, a sign. I see this score in bright blue neon lights with a purple outline. And this score is so bright and so sharp that the sign — it just blows up because the score is so powerful: Pats 33, Falcons 17

Quick update ...You are right, my bad. So they don't lose SBs with a + turnover margin, and are 50/50 to win in any other situation.
Thanks for the correction.
