**OFFICIAL 2016 NFL SEASON THREAD**

However, whatever happened there, wow. As a Steeler fan I was lovin' the Pat's getting their asses kicked. There was no way Pat's would come bacck, even kicking an on-side kick in the 3rd qt. But the football gods saw it differently. Atlanta lost that game. so many chances to put it away and they failed like losers. The Patriot's hung in there and took advantage of every opportunity given them and succeeded every time. Everything feel into place... even the coin toss.. Tom Brady, best quarterback of all time, Patroits, best team of all time... What a team effort at the end of that game, bravo!

I hate seeing it too...

 

[MallsRGood]

It's cool, its only natural to be jealous

I'm not jealous, I'm contemptuous.

I'm also not a fan of whatever that other team was, Georgia or sumptin...

Basically, I just loathe Brady because he's overrated.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Experience wins. Atlanta should have run up the score. Instead, they let down their guard.

 

[TheTexan]

Some feminist on FB have noted how much they loved his "dude booty." I mentioned that was sexist and the told me to shut my privilege.

+rep Tom Brady is a person, not some object to stare at and sexualize

 

[Carlybee]

I don't watch football but watched a bit since one of the Pats went to the same high school I did.

 

[oyarde]

The Falcons had that game until their last drive when they got that holding call that put them out of FG range.

Yep , blew it , would have had the lock with the 11 point lead .

It was like it was Hollywood scripted. Hell, I called it sitting in my chair watching it before it happened. The old lady told me to STFU. That there was no way NE could win. I called it at half time. I called it because it was Hollywood standard material. OT and NE win. At halftime. I'm not a psychic. I'm just a reader of drama and fiction.

Thank you. They say red-blooded American males, such as you and myself, are insensitive. I'm very sensitive. Sensitivity was taught to me by my mother, sisters and ex-wife. Oh, and the nieces. Can't forget them. I was wrong to point out the hypocrisy it seems. I do agree with you though. Tom Brady's butt is not some object to stare at and sexualize. I'm like, Oh, me Gerd. Then they remind me I'm privileged.

Just like a pro wrestling "match".

With billions of dollars on the line, there is no way any of this is being left to random chance.

 

[devil21]

Couldn't write a better movie script for advertisers.

lol

Like the game was going to be allowed to be over by halftime. Who didn't think the Patriots would come "roaring back" in the second half?

Nice planned offsides by Freeney to ensure the Pats got two shots at the 2pt conversion. So rigged.

 

[sam1952]

New England and over... How'd ya like to have had at halftime...

 

[CPUd]

Are they booing? Is this nation filled with crybabies?

It's tradition to boo Roger Goodell. They do it at the draft as well.

 

[Suzanimal]

Why, Buzzards....Why?

There was one bartender wearing a Patriots jersey, I thought she was going to have to fight her way out of the bar last night.

Not to mention that it is a communist organization and all the profits are split evenly amongst the team owners.

The Falcons were playing clockball most of the 2nd half. In the 3rd quarter they wanted a time out, Matt Ryan went back to the official and waited for the play clock to get to 0:01 before calling it. But clockball only works if you can keep your offense on the field. Don't know what kind of defense in the NFL can go out there for 93 plays:

 

[Suzanimal]

From the bowels of Hell and the place that has been responsible for the attempted destruction of the world and america long before the arrival of the california disease; New England . From the state of georgia, land of peaches ,pecans , onions , slavery and discount carpet ;Atlanta . Go Falcons.

GA also has good prices on fireworks

and peanuts.

Don't forget, Coca-Cola, Krispy Kreme, Chick-fil-a, Gone With the Wind, Ray Charles, Bill Hicks, Flannery O'Connor, Julia Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Jackie Robinson, Jeff Foxworthy, Pretty Boy Floyd, Doc Holiday, Kanye West, The Dukes of Hazzard, The Walking Dead, Designing Women, Honey Boo-Boo, and, I suspect, a good many of the People of Walmart (AF should be especially grateful to our state). Plus, we take one for the team and protect the rest of y'all from Florida.

And pinching the taxpayers for new stadiums...

And pinching the taxpayers for new stadiums...

It depends on the city, and the particulars of the deal, but it can be mutually beneficial. Nashville was having a hard time with tourism, the stadium + the arena for the Predators helped bring that back. That's jobs, money being spent in the city, somewhere around $5B a year now. The city can cover the cost of the stadium in 1 year's worth of sales tax alone.
