The Game Ball Thread: SB vs Atlanta

Tom was perfect the last three drives. OL as well after a terrible game.
Defense played a monster game to save McD and Blount. 21 points but several huge plays on 3rd down.
Mitchell and Amendola were really good

Brady almost has to get the MVP with 466 passing yards.
But it wouldn't be crazy to give it to James White. Caught 14 passes on 16 targets, for 110 yards and 1 touchdown pass.
Also added 29 yards AND 2 motherfucking TDs. And ran in a 2 point conversion. 20 points total, 14 of it on the ground.

My 3:
1. Brady.
2. White.
3. Kyle Shanahan for that moronic 3rd and 1 pass that led to a strip sack.

White with 14 catches and 2 rushing TDs, holy shit.
Hightower yeah
Honestly everyone but McD and Blount gets a game ball

After the craziness dies down, people will realize that this team has one of the youngest teams in the league, has a stock full of picks, and a huge cap room. That's not counting any haul BB may get for Jimmy G.
Yeah, they'll be favored once again to win it all.

I'm giving a game ball to @realdonaldtrump, for bailing out on his super bowl party in the third quarter.
Game ball to my mom. There's a pretty good likelihood that she won't see another Pats game and for me, this one is for her, and only for her. Being with her tonight will be one of the greatest memories of my life.
Oh, and she was pumping her fist when it was time for Roger to present the trophy to our boys.

Belichick. He preaches that the Super Bowl is a different game. It's longer and it goes from time outs nonstop to ragged crazy endings more often than not. And crazy stuff happens. To keep your head when those about you are losing theirs.
He puts them in position to make that happen.

Honorary Game Ball to Duron Harmon.
According to Chris Long, Harmon said during halftime that this was going to be the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.

Slater for calling "heads". Falcons D had nothing left by that point.
BB for deciding to take the 3 points at the end of the half. Those 3 points would later loom fairly large.
And the QB....

Tom Brady winning %
reg season .779 (183-52)
playoffs .735 (25-9)
SB .714 (5-2)
That's what we've been enjoying the last 16 years...let that marinate. 16 years of .700+ winning in a league built for parity. To say that's special is a clumsy understatement.
Also gameballs to Malcolm Mitchell & Trey Flowers
And Julian and Danny
And Slater for calling heads!

Apparently they only call heads. I blame the opening coin flip on the dude whose foot got hit by the coin.
Belichick. The team was down 21-3 with an extended half-time to sit through and eventually 28-3 in the third, on the biggest stage in pro sports. That has to be some scientology-level brainwashing that kept the team focused and still hanging onto that small nugget of hope, playing their hearts out. I can't think of a single team that doesn't crumple and fold up shop with a 14 point deficit in that situation, much less 25.
That was just unreal. The Falcons was dominant for the first 30-35 minutes. We ran so many plays though that they were gassed in the 4th.
Forgot about the 4th and 3 and the 15 yard scramble by Brady on the first TD score.
Fuck, I need a cigarette, some weed, and a bunch of booze.
