Reporter accidentally walks off with Kyle Shanahan's backpack

...which, incidentally, contained the Falcons game plan for this Sunday.

He returned it a few hours later "after realizing the mistake".

The reporter in question, ironically enough, is employed by a San Francisco newspaper.

But hey, if Sunday's game is a blowout win for the Patriots, weeeellll...

LOL! In all likelihood just an innocent mistake, but it always makes you wonder when something like this happens. Especially when the Pats are involved.

It's absolutely an innocent mistake.

After nearly 30 minutes of searching and frantic phone calls, Spander returned with Shanahan’s bag. The coach was undeniably relieved.

“That would have been bad,” he said in a text message to USA TODAY Sports.

Spander, 78, is covering his 40th Super Bowl. He had no idea he had taken the wrong bag until contacted by a fellow writer.

“I’ve screwed up before, but I’ve never picked up the wrong bag,” Spander told USA TODAY Sports. “And there’s no way I’d have a game plan.”

But given the circumstances, the history and the reputation of the Patriots, it's also funny as hell.

And if Sunday's game is a blowout, I guarantee you there'll be Falcon fans pointing to this story.

The Pats don't even need to cheat to win this one. Everybody points to the game sealing pick in their win over the Seahawks in '14 but the real story of that game is Dan Quinn's defense getting completely destroyed by the Pats and allowing them to come back from down two scores in the 4th to win it, even with all the insane talent the Hawks had on D then. 

Pats are going to score at will on the Falcons D as they have a better offense now than they did against that Hawks D then and Belichick is going to outcoach and outprepare Quinn and Shanahan.

False. Wilson completed 12 passes all game. The Seahawks ran lynch to death that game because they got comfortable with the lead.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
