Ouch penalty was a tad obvious on Bennett there.

Almost seemed more concerned with not leaving time not scoring a TD. That is the most un-patriot thing ever the clock management was AWFUL!

Brady to Edelman been off all game, falcons have disrupted the timing big time.

As a neutral, can we knock off the Trump thing? I get that Brady is supposedly mates with him, it's getting a bit tedious now though. Are Atlanta free of Trump supporters?

Sorry to barge into the thread for just one day of the year and start complaining.

[classycarra]

Fair comment. Just can't stand Brady and Belichick and the whole Manc slash facist vibe

Plus Atlanta hasn't won anything .... like ever.... how can you not route for them

I personally am And I'm enjoying Brady's poor throwing so far

Sorry mate, I've perpetuated that. Am stopping now.

[voodoo ray]

double fuck up by bennett there.

the kick is good.

[Statto Red]

Pats score but it's only an FG though 21-3

[Ray K]

3 points is absolutely no use here. They should be in 4 down territory in the ATL half for the rest of the game.

[Libertine]

Patriots finally score.

21-3 at the half. Not many would have predicted that.

Yes it's getting ridiculous now.

Just watch the game and support whoever without brining political slurs into it and making completely unfounded allegations.

[Gerry Attrick]

A good defensive stand from the Falcons there. An excellent half of football.

[Wabaloolah]

i'd have thought any non-NE fan would be rooting for Atlanta

Yeah - there was a survey on Yahoo that they're confirmed Trump free.

Plus apparently he has strategy calls with Belichick. Pretty gross.

It's clear at this point a Patriots win would embolden Trump to take away yet more civil liberties.

[Ray K]

yes great game that, Jim McMahon v Tony Eason

That was a fucking awful game. Unless your a Bears fan

yep couldn't have gone much better from them, hopefully they keep it going after half-time

No we can't. Or rather i can't. Brady politicised himself, and is therefore fair game to be slaughtered for it.

[oldfordie]

What sort of call was that. 2nd down and 15 11secs on clock and practically a run play. 

[bryanod]

3 points is absolutely no use here. They should be in 4 down territory in the ATL half for the rest of the game.

Yep, they are shell shocked. Clock management and kicking 3 due to the terrible management is so un-hooodie.

[Statto Red]

Halftime Pats 3 Falcons 21.

Hey man, shut the fuck up about Brexit. Your contributions have been dull and boring so far.

[Gerry Attrick]

A Falcons touchdown at the start of the second half would make me feel more confident. I don't think the Patriots would come back from 4 scores down.

[Wabaloolah]

That was a fucking awful game. Unless your a Bears fan

my first superbowl and I wanted the Pats to win that one, probably why i remember it fondly as I hated the Bears, they beat my Cowboys 44-0 that season

[Libertine]

Was pretty awful.

Acting like they just needed to turn up to win. Much like watching us recently.

[Klippity Klopp]

You’ve been hit by..

[JackWard33]

There's nothing in that post about Brexit - why are you banging on about it?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Poor call by McDaniels, poor play by Brady, poor handling by Blount. That's the difference so far, and Atlanta are too good to let go of this lead.

I'd be more gutted if we were playing the Giants, I don't mind Atlanta, and at least trump will be pissed.

[LiverLuke]

i think the falcons will go all the way, fantastic offence.

Sound Ray.

It's normally very good in here attracting new posters but these 'contributions' have been inflammatory to say the least.

[voodoo ray]

leave the politics out of it.

[Wabaloolah]

yes agree, keep running the ball well and keep the pressure on Brady, more of the same on both sides of the ball and yes a TD kills it

[Libertine]

My first season watching NFL as a (very) young Bears fan - was beautiful to watch. Especially the Fridge TD at the end.....

[ianrush]

Right now? lulz @ the Pats Brady at 0.500% ?

[Gerry Attrick]

yes agree, keep running the ball well and keep the pressure on Brady, more of the same on both sides of the ball and yes a TD kills it

Let's hope so!

Poor NE, excellent Falcons.

Watching in a bar in Boston. The silence is truly beautiful.

Say hi to Norm and Cliff for me.

[Crosby Nick]

Hey man, shut the fuck up about Brexit.

It's spelt Belichick mate, even I know that.

[Ray K]

There's nothing in that post about Brexit - why are you banging on about it?

It's about Trump so same difference. If you've no interest in the game piss off to another thread.

[Libertine]

So will Lady Gaga have a message for Pence et al?

[Wabaloolah]

Say hi to Norm and Cliff for me.

[Zend...en the clowns]

Pats not built to chase games, falcons getting the ball first in the second half so could get a lot worse.

Know the Pats defense is a great unit but there can't have been another time this season where they've been put under such relentless pressure. Similarly, the offense with Brady has never been in this situation for a long, long time.

[Trev20]

[Statto Red]

Pats running game is none existent, which is why the Falcons can pressure Brady.

[telekon]

And now for Lady Gaga to give Trump the finger, figuratively.
