SUPER BOWL LI SERIOUS DISCUSSION THREAD

You have the falcons game way too low and the eagles game way too high

>flop wins games

So I don't care much about American Football, but I stuck some money on the Patriots and ended watching the entire thing. I enjoy other North American sports (basketball and hockey). But now I'm thinking of giving the NFL a chance starting next season.

I'm honestly kind of surprised this sport is so big in the US though. Not shitting on it, just didn't think the average American would have enough patience to sit through an entire game where not that much happens in comparison to basketball where it's non-stop back and forth.

Not to take away from the patriots, 25 points in basically 1 quarter in the superbowl is unheard of, but the Falcons literally just needed one FG and they win it. They couldn't hold on to the ball or get field position for ONE field goal for basically an entire half. No doubt that it goes back to the pats and Bill's adjustments but like... ONE FIELD GOAL

>You have the falcons game way too low and the eagles game way too high
The Eagles game wss the most back and forth, neck and neck super bowl in our lifetime

>ravens vs 49ers over patriots vs panthers
shit list

ATL only scored on 3 drives, after scoring on 66% during the playoffs and 50% during the season.

The NE D allowed 21 points. Give them some credit.

>domination 1st half against all expectations
>that slitty Beyonce half time
>that power outage
>that come back
>that down to the wire finish

It was one of the most characteristically different bowls ever.

I always completely forget that the Buccs won a super bowl in the middle of the pats dynasty.
