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.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
