A few of the shows caught a great postgame moment between Slater and his dad. They are giggling like kids. It reads to me not just as elation, but also that they know how the Pats stole one they had (almost) no business winning.
This might be my favorite celebration moment of all. No words, just pure unadulterated in the moment outpouring of emotion that comes out as laughter, and ironically, ends up saying so much including "can't believe what just happened", "I'm so happy", and "amazing"

Spreading out my watching and just got to Turning Point and have two questions:

1) have they always had that tech that allows them to show isolated movements of the receivers and DBs covering them (showing how the coverage on JJ left someone else open);

2) do you all consider the pick 6 "Tom Brady's biggest mistake" ever?

We were on the Atlanta side, and they were quite raucous at 28-3 as you would expect. As it got to 28-12, I kept asking the guys who were near us if they were nervous yet -- and the one thing that kept coming to my mind was the Larry Bird clip where I think they were showing the Pistons game -- and they cut to Danny Ainge, and he says "They forgot about one thing, they forgot about Larry Bird." -- and I kept saying it to those guys, "don't forget about one thing, don't forget about Tom Brady." The whole 2nd half was so surreal. The Atlanta fans were super gracious too on the way out -- didn't see a single one afterwards that was anything but congratulatory.

And the Falcons even had their Smith-Muhammad moment:

Sanu: “They ain’t ever met nothing like this.”

Gabriel: “It’s Tom Brady, though.”

Sanu: “I know. I know. I’m never comfortable. We about to put up 40-something on their a**. What I’m saying is, they ain’t never seen anything like this.”

The Taiwanese animated take on LI was genuinely enjoyable.

Amazing video. Love hearing all the talking heads finally acknowledge Brady as the best player ever.
Another in a long line of great videos.

One thing that jumped out to me as I watched it; on the pick six, Edelman was open for a split second across the middle, Bennett, was open along the left sideline as well. Brady threw to the wrong guy there for sure, tried to jam it into a small window.

White was completely uncovered, as well. Brady was getting hit too much and rushed it, trying to force a play. Seems like he's good for one of these a Superbowl.

They've talked about that in several of the analysis shows, I just saw it again on the "Turning Point" show. Brady was clearly fooled by the coverage and in that case he had decided pre-snap where the ball was going and never came off it even though it wasn't there.

Rewatching 38 yesterday that weak INT in the end zone in that game was worse. Worse decision and worse execution of a pass.

He had never had a pick six in the playoffs, which I think is what Turning Point was referring to by calling it his biggest mistake ever. That pick in the end zone in 38 was bad. So was the one in 49. But while those both took points off the board, so did the Alford pick and that one put points on the board too. I think it has to be the biggest mistake.

I read somewhere someone asked is that his biggest mistake in a playoff/Super Bowl game; I'd have to say yes, that and that horrible pick in the AFCCG vs Denver two years ago.

No one is perfect, so that aside, Brady is just something else, the fourth quarter vs Seattle, the fourth quarter and OT vs Atlanta; Long was right, Brady is an assassin.

As a sports fan, there are different types of losses you endure; blow outs, back and forth games, games that you're team is never really in it, but the worst kind are when you surrender a big lead, it's gut wrenching watching your team slowly lose their lead and then lose the game.

Those are the worst kind; aka the 2007 AFCCG, that one still stings.

I always thought the Champ Bailey 103 yard pick was his worst playoff mistake. It was essentially a pick 6 with Ben Watson making a superhuman effort to track him down a few feet from a TD. Made a 10-6 game that should have swung to 13-10 Pats and made it 17-6 Denver. Led to his first playoff loss.

The Blackburn INT in SB 46 stands out as both a bad decision and a poor throw. It was 1st/10 and Brady had avoided the sack and was outside the pocket, so he could have gotten rid of it. Or, IIRC, gone to Hernandez was open on the sideline for a short gain. Instead he threw a jump ball and Gronk had no chance hobbling around on one leg.

I'll take to my grave that play was a touchback.

Same. That call and the earlier garbage DPI call on Asante Samuel, and I'll never forgive Jeff Triplette for being the worst. Jim Perdue-looking mfer. (although, the pick and the two killer special teams fumbles certainly didn't help, but still...easier to blame Jeff).

Same playoffs he made the exact same mistake throwing a bomb to Slater of all people, immediately after Spikes had just made a huge play to pick off Flacco. I don't think the Brady-deep-ball demons were exorcised until this season.

Re: Its unBradylike to have a big pick in a playoff game: in addition to those mentioned upthread, theres the end zone pick in the Carolina SB. I think it actually is like him to have that one big INT.

36: No INT
38: INT in 4th quarter in red zone
39: No INT
42: No INT
46: INT in 4th quarter on poor decision
49: INT in 1st quarter in red zone
51: Pick 6 in 2nd quarter

Seems like a mixed bag to me. He's thrown only 31 INTs in 34 playoff games. For comparison, Montana threw 21 INTs in 23 playoff games. If you play in enough games, you're going to throw some ill-timed INTs.

You get my week 20 game ball. That's fantastic (but I still do miss Gil and Gino).

You missed the 2nd pick in 49 on the opening drive of the 3rd quarter

Wonder how many times in NFL playoff history a team has thrown a pick six and won. I know it was the first time in Super Bowl history against 11 losses IIRC

This is awesome, but the sync is toast by the overtime kick. Did Vimeo screw it up when it got pushed to them?
There are a few minutes where it's out of sync at the beginning of overtime, but it seems to be fixed as the drive goes on.

I love watching the Belichick/Edelman post-game conversation from the FOX feed, because you can just see a calm Edelman and then an elated Belichick comes over and gives him a hug, then the camera cuts away, then it comes back right when Belichick tells him it's over and Edelman goes insane. (around 46:18 in the video)

Are we just cataloging every INT? They're all generally painful but I don't agree that he has a big one every game. He was generally very careful with the ball the first half of his career. There have been some bad throws recently but it's not really atypical from any other QB.

Well he has thrown 5 picks in Super Bowls and 4 were listed so I figured it was just an omission.

5 picks in 7 Super Bowls against generally great defenses is pretty good on the whole, IMO. He has thrown 309 Super Bowl passes so this comes to 1.62% interception rate. His career regular season rate is 1.85% so he has been better in the Super Bowl overall at avoiding picks than in the regular season.

The picks are magnified in the Super Bowl but tims4wins has it right.

FTR, I vote for the Carolina 4th quarter pick as the "worst" of his playoff career. A TD there and the game is pretty much over (12 point lead with 6 minutes left). Even a FG makes it an 8 point game with about 6 minutes left, not impossible for Carolina to come back and win, but the Pats still firmly in command of the game. I would think in terms of win probability that pick has to be the one that swung things the most of his Super Bowl INTs, far more than the Falcons one.

Fourth Quarter w/Radio Feed

pass: pats
Thank you so mcuh for this, Brandon. That is my favorite video thus far. I know I'm a homer but hearing Socci and Zolak (or Gil and Gino) beats the living shit out of any of the national teams.

I was at SB 36 and one of my favorite side points was that they gave you personal radios in a package at your seats that allowed the choice of the national TV, national radio, Pats radio or Rams radio. I watched/listened to that game with Gil and Gino and my friend/client listened to the Summerall/Madden broadcast (and was telling me about Madden's "don't go for it" call as it happened). I was not at SB 38 but by SB 39, they had eliminated the local radio option.
