Super Bowl 51: New England Patriots (14-2) vs Atlanta Falcons (11-5)

Realt Dearg Sec

Times like now you think that while a team has a period of dominance like the Falcons are having, they really, really need to get a decent number of points on the board. We know adjustments will come, if Atlanta only have a score or two by half time they are going to regret it.

On another note: this is like the opposite kind of game to the one I think anyone was expecting.

Jesus I know people like to call games early on here, but 5 minutes in to the 2nd quarter is a bit ridiculous. Especially when its Tom Brady on the other side of the field

there was always a few question marks over the pats D , there offence is spectacular but defense has been suspect

paulie21

If it wasn't bad enought, refs giving them another chance at the XP after a good stop

coco0981

That's the advantage of having so many weapons on offence, double team Julio and leave Hooper one on one in the endzone

Itssoeasy

No team has come back from being down more than 10 points in a super bowl.

The early runs were a good call and have opened thee Pats up a bit, this Falcons offense is phenomenal and is going to be tough to call what they'll do on any play with this lead.

Yeah but there's only been a few Super Bowls. 14 point deficits are overcome every week, loads of play left in this game.

Brady bunch are in trouble.

Yep, it's 2 scores and still plenty of time left in the 2nd. Regardless of how good Atlantic look momentum can change in a flash

Roger Godell's secretly all giddy at the moment

Patriots lucky the Falcons gave away those two penalties

Billy86

Pats lucky here, very generous holding call on the second one.

LuckyGent88

God Brady is getting hit a lot so far.

Atlanta defence keeping them in it

GoldFour4

The Pats line is gonna get Brady killed, the Falcons are getting to him on every possession almost

DDC1990

Falcons were getting away with these calls in the NFC Champ game.

Blount offering nothing so far.

thomond2006

Never seen three holding penalties in one drive before!

Itssoeasy

Three holding penalties on third down by Atlanta is helping the pats out.

That's a killer blow, just shows how big that fumble was at the start of the quarter, Osi will be crowing in BBC studio.

You're not coming back from 21 against this offence.

Abysmal.

GoldFour4

Falcons with first possession of second half - could be over after that. Pats just not at the races at all.

Itssoeasy

Well then.

LuckyGent88

That throw should have went to Edelman.

El Horseboxo

Falcons gonna eat up that clock in the second half. Looking like one quick superbowl.

paulie21

2 turnovers in the redzone. Very unlike the Pats
