But seriously, what a year of championship games/series.

- Cavs comeback down 3-1 against Warriors
- Cubs comeback down 3-1 against Indians
- Clemson comeback against Alabama down 14
- Patriots comeback down 25 against Falcons when no team in Super Bowl history has ever comeback from even a 14-point deficit

It's moments like those four where I don't understand how some people don't enjoy sports.

Thought it was a done deal for the Falcons at half time...

Questionable play calling by Atlanta but what a comeback.

[Rizzo]

Agreed. Atlanta blew it by not running the ball in field goal range, but that's not my problem.

Ran it 5 times since taking a 28-3 lead. where the hell is the smh emoticon when you need it

Continues to highlight the fact that there is a dearth of good coaches in the NFL, even for teams that make it to the Super Bowl.

I will refuse to admit that the pats won it. Instead the falcons lost it. #notmychampion

It was definitely a little of both. The Falcons did lose the game but the Pats were down 25. You don't make up a deficit like that by just one team blowing the game. The Pats needed to two touchdowns, two two-point conversions and a field goal to tie it. It was crucial to come up with a turnover and they made that happen too.

If anyone plays Madden Ultimate Team, do you think they will come up with a challenge where you are down 25 in the Super Bowl and need to come back and win it?

I want Madden to make a challenge where you see how many free shots at Tom Brady it takes to knock him out of a game.

I saw it coming a mile away. Last year Falcons choked a 5-1 record to lose the division to a 7-9 Panthers team.
This year Falcons almost choked and lost the division to the Tampa Bay Bucs.

They might not recover for a while and that's fine with me.
