Excerpts...

This epic Super Bowlfailure will linger forever with the Atlanta Falcons. There is no soap to wash it, no hose to rinse it, no way the Falcons ever forget it.

...

"I’ll always remember this game for the rest of my life," running back Devonta Freeman said.

...

Safety Ricardo Allen described it best: "It makes you numb. I’m kind of numb. I really don’t know what to feel. I’m broken inside. It’s terrible. It’s one of the worst feelings ever. I’m not a guy that forgets easy. I’ll probably never forget this."

...

What a dagger. What a disaster.

...

Their owner, Aurthur Blank, strolled down to the Falcons sideline for the second half, like he does at many Falcons games. He held wife Angela’s hand. They were smiling. He waved to Falcons fans. This was good. Falcons up 28-3 with 8:31 left in the third quarter. This was really looking good. Falcons just a few minutes away from their first ever Super Bowl championship. Blank just a few minutes away from giving the city of Atlanta an important and special treat. They were up 25 points. This was fresh.

And then it was 28-9. And then 28-12. And then 28-20. With :57 seconds left in regulation it was 28-28. And then 8 plays into overtime it was Patriots 34-28. And it was over.

...

A Falcons epic failure. If you had just watched the Blanks’ joy slowly transform into concern, their smiles melt into frowns as the Falcons lead dripped, as it was pricked, by the thorny Patriots, that would have told you everything.

...

Several Falcons afterward looked as if they were in a trance.

"Come on man, when it was 28-3, I’m thinking what you and everybody else was thinking, that we pretty much had this game," Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu said. "Tom Brady just took it to the next level. He made some great plays."

...

Brady had help from the Patriots.

But he had help from the Falcons, too. They contributed to their epic failure.

...

They thought they had New England beat. But those thoughts helped unhinge the Falcons. Every moment of a championship game must be earned against the Patriots. Every second.

"That’s a hard one in the locker room," Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. "No place to put that one mentally for us."

...

He said his team will rely on its closeness, its brotherhood to overcome this.

This epic failure where the Falcons were mesmerized by the Patriots march to glory.

And it was GLORIOUS.

Yeah, you do that Danny Boy.

The Panthers had a helluva "brotherhood" going for them in 2015... it didn't help them make a FG to win at the end of their first game in 2016 and fall off the cliff thereafter.

I tell you what, there are few things that make me as sports happy as a Falcons loss.  I loved it when they were bad.  I love it when we beat them.  I ADORED them collapsing!  Nothing like going completely to hades in a hand basket.

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
