I'm still watching Super Bowl 51 at least once a week. How often do other people watch it?

The strip-sack. 3rd & 1. Time to eat some clock. You got two of the best RB's of any team. They had had fine success up til now. But Shanahan has him in a seven step drop cause that's what they do (why not, Pittsburgh and many others are smart enough to do what they do). Well ok, this time it backfired. But they'rs still in total control as long as they just learn their lesson from the snafu.....

It is really amazing, isn't it?

Maybe the BIGGEST blown blocking assignment in NFL history.

Yep. Ryan had a WR running wide open downfield. If Freeman makes the block, they probably score a TD instead.

I love how Freeman gave that radio interview last week and said that if he was given the ball more in the 2nd half, he woulda been MVP.



He WAS MVP in my book!

Difference is that the Falcons blew their ONLY shot with theirs.
