My favorite part was watching the owners of the Falcons celebrating in the first half, and watching them literally deflated by the end.

I had no rooting interest in either team, just enjoyed a spectacular game. In clutch situations, Brady is at least as good as Montana and Young or anyone else.

Some interesting key plays...

When Atlanta was up 8 with 5+ minutes left, and had the ball on New England's 25 yard line, I thought it was over. Atlanta choked so bad. Ryan has to throw the ball away instead of getting sacked for -15. Then a 10 yard holding penalty on the next play.

Then the Atlanta running back completely missing a pass protection block that led to a fumble.

And the great Brady pass play (can't remember who to) where the pass was deflected, 3 or 4 guys were rolling around, and the ball never touched the ground, and the Pats receiver showed awesome concentration to bring that ball in.

If you don't put serious pressure on Brady, and do it rushing 4 guys, he's un-stoppable. So accurate, and so so clutch. Like David Ortiz.

It was a fantastic second half. Enjoy Pats nation!!

Imagine if he had Gronk all season. Scary good.

Pissa... what's the NFL and Roger going to come up with for a punishment for deflating owners

Great game.. hard to watch during the first 2/3 of the game..My son in law was there... at half time he sent me a text asking if I knew anyone looking for Falcons super bowl tickets... I texted him back saying I'd go to bed except I could never forgive myself if I missed the greatest come back in NFL history then added LOL ( fully expecting a rout by the Falcons at that point)he replied...I wish I could go to bed...each playacted that sack gave me more and more hope.. when they won the coin toss in OT there was never a doubt... you could see the Atlanta D was gassed... at that point the Pat's wanted it more..it was the most exciting game I've ever witnessed. That catch by Edelman was a bounce we Never get... and James White... next man up..do your job.. and that young man certainly did...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Arthur Blank is Home Depot. That alone made me root for the Pats.

Not necessarily my "favorite part" but I did enjoy the comic relief they provided by the gloom and doom demeanor in the 2nd half. What a striking contrast . . . no longer anything to dance about. Quite a comeback!
