The final Falcons possession in regulation. Approx. 4:15 left and its 1st and 10 from the Patriots 22. The toss loses one on 1st and 10. Ok, no worries. Still in FG range. Here’s where the game, in my humble opinion, given the situation at that moment, was lost. A sack and a holding call literally lost the SB for the Falcons. Those probably wouldn’t have happened if two more runs had been called, but instead they played as if they were wearing Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United Fan Tumbler and expected a late-game disaster. Run two more times, Patriots may have used a TO or two in that situation to preserve clock, kick a reasonably easy FG. Up two scores. Now the Patriots have to score, two point, on side kick recovery, and then kick another FG in maybe 2:30-3:00 minutes. Not nearly as likely. Just my two cents.
()Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United Fan Tumbler, Sport Tumbler and Funny Tumbler
One of my favorite memories with my dad was catching the AFC Championship at an ex-pat bar in Paris on the way back from a big trip abroad. Due to a massive snowstorm happening across the east coast, no airports were open to flights for us back home, so we were given a few “extra” vacation days there on an extended layover to take in the culture and inhale one few too many crêpes. Even still, we felt homesick so finding a place to watch the game was something we agreed to do after a full day of sightseeing. We did some digging and found a petite little place in the 5th Arrondissement called Wide Open Spaces that was playing the game. Upon getting there we stumbled into a sea of Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United Fan Tumbler and a splash of blue ones waving upon the wooden floors. Everyone’s eyes were affixed to the TV mounted towards the top-left corner, and each nursed a pint of Stella that I still remember to be quatorze euro per.
()Damn what a rollercoaster ride. I can’t imagine being a die hard ATL fan and going on this ride. The game was a snoozer for people who didn’t have a dog in the fight and for those “casual” fans. People who enjoy watching football every week knew there was a chance. But damn was that a small chance. The falcons fucked up one of the largest leads in Super Bowl history it felt like. No doubt in my mind that the Patriots are the gold standard in the NFL and are right there with the San Antonio Spurs as Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United Fan Tumbler in the last 2 decades. Tom Brady is the GOAT.
