From now on if someone's like "Yeah I don't think Brady is the best player of all time" or some stupid thing like that you just hold up your hand and spread out all 5 fingers and say "Stop. Just stop. Stop right now."

Hahahaha! Love it!

I know it was more or less a foregone conclusion that Brady was going to get the MVP, but I'm just going to leave this here: We're not winning the game without James White making a million plays down the stretch.

Great game.

Still hasn't sunk it.  In a daze.

The Pats margin for error that 4th quarter was so ridiculously thin.  Absolutely everything had to fall right;  no more ATL points, get a FG, score 2 TDs and convert two 2 pt conversions.  Absolutely everything had to fall right, and it actually happened.  Unbelievable.

You will never see another QB like Brady and you'll probably never see another Super Bowl like that.  Unreal.

Also had to have time for all of this; the fact they forced a fumble deep into ATL territory and were able to score quick helped.

Oh yeah,  even if ATL punts there instead of turning the ball over,  Pats lose 40+ yards of field position and may very well not have enough time left in the game.    Huge turning point.

first down at Pats 23 yard line with 8 point lead...

Why was Atl dropping back to pass? There running back was getting huge chunks of yards. Kick a field goal there and they are up 11 points. Game over? Who knows?

Why were they passing at that point? Hubris or just scared about the Patriots mystique (they did not think an 11 point lead would be enough) Pats still in their head even when it seems they had the game won.

The Atl owner and his wife were ready to celebrate .... amazing they had moved to the sideline. Talk about not counting your falcons before they hatch.

Yeah, that was a key. Not running the ball with a 25 pt lead! That's on the coaches, and it just shows coaching inexperience in Super Bowls. The Patriots have a big advantage there--the same coaches have been there so often, they know how to play the situation. They also are costing me a fortune in Super Bowl T shirts, hoodies and footballs back to '03. I'm wearing the last SB hoodie this morning, and have the current one on order.  :)

Was yesterday the greatest day in Boston sports history? Greatest Superbowl comeback and perhaps the most significant regular season NBA game with Paul's last game back.
I would have to vote the Red Sox WS win that broke the Bambino curse.

Yeah.

Kraft ought to send Rat Jr. - Kyle Shanahan - a ring. Worst series of play calling I've seen in a LONG time.

I bet somewhere out there today Durant is feeling some sadness for saying no to Tom Brady and the celtics and missing out on being a part of Boston sports.

Good. I hope his Warriors choke again in the playoffs too.  >:(

They ran on 1st down for a loss and went for a pass on 2nd that turned out to be the disaster. It's on the QB IMO. You can't take a sack, but Ryan didn't feel the pressure.

Have to admit that defense STEPPED UP. It might be 28 points given up but the pick 6 and turnovers didn't help at all. (So really they allowed 21 to the best offense in football)

Second half they did not break except for that 1 early 3rd quarter TD drive.

WHAT. A. WIN.

Easily the second best comeback in BOS history behind the Red Sox 2004 comeback vs NYY.

Second this, especially after the Yankees banged away to a 3-0 lead. By Game 7, you could smell the fear.

...and perhaps thinking about how he might like to switch coasts this summer :)
