Super Bowl Poll

Definitely want Atlanta to win. Never been a big fan of the evil empire called the New England Patriots.
I almost always pull for the NFC team. But I think New England will win, somehow, even though I believe the Falcons are more talented.
The league MVP's team has lost nine in a row in the Super Bowl. Here's hoping Matt Ryan breaks the streak.
Couldn't disagree more. They were mixing it up and had the drive extended three times for holding in the secondary on passing plays. The penalties are what extended the drive.... not the play calling.
Yes the penalties kept the drive going but the runs and deliberately slow moving were by design.
Could they not find any talent whatsoever to carry this mess ?
At least she represented inclusive & harmonius behavior and did not show her azz, much.
For that, she gets my respect

12 plays plus 3 "no plays" in 6:27, including the pick 6, which took a bunch of clock when the DB slowed down. But whatever.
I wonder what the game will look like in 50 years (I won't be here that long obviously)
I'll have to look but I think he started for Washington for a long time, as well.
I just wanted to hear the Pats fans boo Roger Goodell. Ha ha
That was the biggest collapse since the Oilers folded against the Bills in the '93 playoffs. Must have been like death by a 1000 cuts for Falcons fans.... and Goodell.
Yeah, that was a real pisser to blow it the way they did in the 4Q. Sucks to be an ALT fan today.
...Smoke Signals might work better?Take pictures !
I know they're easy to dislike, but in spite of popular opinion they still have the smartest "Xs and Os" coach and the best big game quarterback in NFL history.
depends on the smoke... there are no pecan trees up here (dammit) but plenty but plenty oak & maple

But a little different dynamic. Houston lost to the Bill's backup quarterback. At home.
Brady is a little better than that. And it was the Super Bowl.
A bit of non-SB trivia: the Bills QB who led that comeback was Frank Reich, the same Frank Reich who while at the University of Maryland, led the Terps to a 42-40 win over Jimmy & the 'canes after being down 31-0 at halftime.

You're right. Not sure what I was thinking. But still, Reich wasn't Brady.
What a memory you have brought back. I was a Oiler fan and watching Houston fold like a yard chair was excruciating right up to the point when Buddy Ryan smacked Kevin Gilbride. Then I laughed to the point I peed myself. Thanks for the great flashback, man!
Probably the best Plano Wildcat football player ever was Pat Thomas. Maybe the best athlete. His senior year was incredibly special. Pat started at corner at A&M for four years and his class turned A&M around after two decades of mediocrity. Jerry Pettibone desperately wanted Pat, and thought we'd have signed him, but we wouldn't offer his cousin, who ended up starting at safety at A&M.
Then he was a long time starter for the Rams including an appearance in Super Bowl XIV.
I brought that up because Pat was the DB coach at Houston that day, and was fired the following week. I find it hard to believe that it should have been all on him. But any HC will cover his own backside.
Reich played at Maryland and lead his team to a 42-40 win over Miami after trailing 31-0 in 1984.
