Tuck rule, Pete Carrol throwing on the 1 yard line, Shanahan not running ball

In all seriousness I'm not hating on Brady/Pats but my god how lucky can a team possibly get? Those 3 plays:

beyond words.... yet you wrote your thesis on the continued excellence of Tom Brady and the Pats...

Yes I also saw that pass come that close to being intercepted.. Luck was on his side yet again. Next comment

EXACTLY SOOOOOO how is it luck???? 

yea  i too skimmed past all your bs

Yes 1 play does determine the outcome of a game. You must be new to sports.

1) The criminal "tuck rule" that robbed Oakland and should've ended the Pats season (won the SB)..

2) SB vs Seattle. 2nd and Goal from the 1 yard line and Carroll decides to throw a pass and not run the most unstoppable running back in the modern era to win the SB?

3) last night was the worst of them all. 1st and 10 on the Pats 20 with an 8 point lead and 4 mins left.. That game was absolutely over if ATL runs the ball 3 times and kicks a FG (Atlanta kicker was 99% from 40 and in).. would've went up 11 and made NE use their last 2 timeouts.

93-0 was the record for teams up by at least 19 points in the 4th. 93-1 after last night.

It's mind boggling how this team continues to benefit from miraculous luck..  Brady can just as easily be 2-5 in the SB..  

It's one think to make a play that is lucky (Eli to Tyree) because your luck wasn't reliant on the other team but to have a game stolen from you "tuck rule" and then 2 (top 1 and 2) alltime worst coaching blunders to hand you a SuperBowl? Seriously?  It's beyond words.

Shouldn't it be 34 inches hahaha

It's so easy to tell who loses bets and who wins. Get over it. And everybody says the same b.s. "I actually won a f#ck ton of money and blahbady blah blah but i'm just saying...." The Patriots have had a lot of things go their way over the years but every team does. The Patriots good fortunes are remembered more because they win championships. You don't win 5 chips, go to 7, plus countless other AFC championships they were in and didn't win, because you're just lucky. Or because you're a "system QB". Yes, Atlanta should have won. Yes, they should have ran the ball 3 times and kicked a field goal. The Patriots still had to do their part. The refs didn't just spot them 31 unanswered points. The Falcons "prolific offense" didn't just conk out on it's own either.

Marshawn would've got in the endzone. Obviously it's easy to say that now that we'll never know but i've watch that kid break tackles at literally every level.

And pats run it on second and goal from the one yard line to win it this year... ironic

The ole slap in the face to Pete Carroll saying, " this is how it's done ok?"

Well I  must say you must be new to all sports at all levels because it takes a "little luck"  to win it all at any level at ANY sport .  No winner cannot look back along the path to the crown and not say were were lucky that day..  It's putting yourself in the position to be "lucky" ie playing in the big game that separates  the winners from the loser's. ..  Pat's did not get a hall pass to all the SB's.. They earned their spots there so they had a shot to get "lucky".. Class over rain man...

He could easily be 0 for 7 too, you forgot to mention that. He could also easily be 7 for 7, or 6 for 7, or 4 for 7, hell even 1 for 7. 

Money controls the outcome of games!

games ?...maybe a few...not this one

Tuck rule was a divisional game, still had to beat Steelers and Rams.
