You forgot Foles. Also a way better Super Bowl than this one was.

He will get the other 4 fingers a ring before he’s done.

6 time superbowl champions, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!!! Now you can cry the entire offseason here, music to my ears my man

Guess I'm not set for life, I cashed in $23 and a $3 ticket from my 4 $10 tickets.

Someone won $1 million on DraftKings, unsplit between other contestants. That's pretty rare for a single game - there were 7 people tied for 2nd through 8th place each getting $33k. He did it without a dart throw (sleeper picks who are lightly picked and who vulture a touchdown) too.

Glad to see Brady now have more Super Bowl rings than any other player (he deserves it, and I love seeing truly legendary players in sports), and while I know some people are down on the tonight's game, I enjoyed it. Might have not been quite the amazing game the Patriots/Falcons was, but I like seeing defensive football (particularly given that it's so rare to see low scoring games now) so was fun to see some of the big plays made on the defensive sides, and the game was still in contest until late in the fourth quarter so there was excitement all the way.

I think the "problem" is that some of the recent Super Bowls have been absolute classics, and the Patriots/Falcons SB was a game that has to rank as one of the all-time great championship games of any sport.

So, we've been spoiled a bit.

I enjoyed this Super Bowl, and I actually felt a little disappointment when a touchdown was finally scored!

Boring ass game, but congratulations to The Patriots!

It’s unbelievable that Philly dropped 40+ on the Patriots last year, but Sean Mcvay couldn’t find a way to anything this year.

Maybe a healthy Todd Gurley would’ve made a difference.

...but maybe not.

Keep in mind that Philly was missing a bunch of key starters for that game too.
Yeah what happened to the greatest coach of all time: Sean McVay? I mean every team wants to copy him. He’s the greatest football mind the world has ever known.
Three points.
And now Steelers fans have to settle with sharing the trophy count lead. Lol! Love it!
Oh by the way, has anyone declared New England cheaters this season? They can’t be good, right? They had to of cheated their way to a 6th trophy.
New England better do the right thing and send Justin Houston a ring!

Well I nailed it.

So hey, about that upcoming draft...

Lol.
I don’t hear a lot of the “give me a good defensive game anytime” chatter today. Unless that crowd is still asleep from halftime. I’m just glad Philly prevented the first Super Bowl 3peat!
Thank God for the great commercials.

I don't mind defensive battles and last night was a classic throw back of a game imo. some of those 90's super bowls are far worse then this one.

I tell you the biggest thing in this game was the fact that the Rams have a terrible fan base and understandably so when you move them around like ragdolls. It doesn't help that L.A. is not a football town, never was and clearly never will be imo.

The fact that city now has two teams is a laughable joke and the NFL will regret that decision, I would not doubt to see the Chargers have a very short stay in L.A., from everyone I know that went to the game said it was like a 15 to 1 ratio on the ground between fanbases.

Last night really showed how some people forgot how great defenses/schemes can take over games. It was a fun game to watch for sure.

[imsounoriginal]

My buddy and I lost interest midway through the third quarter and started playing Madden lol. It wasn't so much about it being a defensive game (although that did bother me to an extent, I have nothing against that style of play but I generally want something more engaging for the freakin Super Bowl), but the realization was setting in that Brady was gonna get #6 and we just didn't wanna see that happen.

EDIT: we've also been spoiled in recent years with some top 10-level Super Bowls. And of course nothing will match the high of last year's game

I enjoyed the game, and I'm not referring to the victors. Defense can be just as much fun as offense. Technically, it was a very well played game from the defensive stand point. So much crying over social media about how boring it was. Nope, not for me.

People just like to complain.

Scoring moves the meter. Always has always will.
It’s like that ancient DH rule in baseball. Nobody, outside of a dwindling crowd of purists want to see pitchers hit. It’s why MLB has lost so much ground against the NFL and NBA.
Give me scoring with some great defensive plays sprinkled in, any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Jut out of curiosity, I wonder how many posts I could find from so called “defense purists” banging their heads in frustration about a low scoring/boring game.

Or just stating an opinion?
That’s still allowed, right?
