Is there any possibility that execs took Atlanta aside after the 3rd quarter and ordered them to lose? Aside from the one circus catch (Amendola?) some of those Patriot touchdown drives seemed a little too easy, especially the first drive in OT, when the Falcons might as well have had high schoolers out there.

What makes this similar to the 1989 SB is the sour taste that will linger and the Falcons will probably struggle to make 500 next year.

The other F word anyone? The Kraft family buying a 5th Championship for Brady, anyone?

I've said for years that the NFL likes its story lines.

Refs call just the right penalty at the right time (even if they were legit you can look at the times they didn't call legit penalties) and that's your game.

But twice now the Pats have won Super Bowls because the other team didn't simply run the ball.

That's as much good fortune and as anything the Pat's did to prepare or win that game.
