Did we really need nearly a 40-45 half time? Surely Lady Ga Ga could have trimmed down her show 10-12 minutes and nobody would have missed a thing or cared. To jacksjargon thoughts, that needlessly lengthy half time was the killer for Atlanta…clearly the more talented team. And, better team to most in the know. Seven Super Bowls for New England and they could handle that same old same old half time. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcon’s secondary (pass defenders) are mostly kids. Hyped beyond belief. They did a terrific first half job, but were clearly cooled to a frazzle for by the 4th quarter. They left so many pass lanes open in the decisive 4th quarter, even Jay Cutler could have made that late charge. Clearly they were out of gas. To his credit, Brady knew it and did what many of the best quarterbacks could do. Tom Brady is the best SUPER BOWL quarterback. Seven chances help make it so. But, greatest ever is absolute folly. It was easy to see in the first half what a consistent pass rush could do to him. At best, he was ordinary. Anyone could see it.
Even though out of gas in the 4th quarter, Atlanta made the biggest mistake that cost them the win. They were well within field goal range. A 3 pointer there and it’s Atlanta with the trophy. Inexplicably, Matt Ryan passed at that critical juncture. All the Falcon’s needed to do was run the ball and set up for what would have been the clinching field goal. So what happens? Worse thing possible. A sack taking them out of field goal range. Stupidity. And that was the opening that the Pat’s needed. Make the field goal? Tom Brady is not touted the greatest of all time. The sack and suddenly the media goes crazy for a guy and a team that ignored the rules so many times they are still facing a loss of a first round pick coming up. How can we forget the Patriot’s illegally filming their opponents practice causing more penalties several years ago. And, there’s more.
So Tom Brady, a player known to have cheated for who knows how long, along with his genius corrupt coach Bill Belichick has won his last two Super Bowls by the skin of their teeth. How can we forget the all time stupid Seattle play on the one yard line by passing to an interception. First and goal for the Seattle win over New England and they pass? No way on earth that human wrecking ball Marshawn Lynch could not have scored with four attempts. The game winner.
Two of the dumbest plays of all time makes Brady a five time Super Bowl winner. Reverse the stupidity and Brady and Belichick are 3 wins 4 losses. So much for greatest ever nonsense. Famed Hall of Fame pitcher, Whitey Ford, had a saying one still hears years later. “I’d rather be lucky than good.” Who couldn’t think of that for Tom “Terrific.” Oh, and he’s lamenting about losing the jersey he wore in the game Sunday. Maybe the kid who deflated his footballs has it and will make a deserved fortune by selling it some day. He earned it.
