Agreed, the Pats defense were a complete failure in the first half. But that 4th quarter and OT, holy crap.I agree generally... but I'm also absolutely certain that letting the Falcons go up 21-0 was NOT part of any methodical game plan.
At halftime I was thinking "Well, Atlanta's D must be almost out of gas by now". They were running around like maniacs in the first half and I said to my wife "no way they can sustain that". What some people call lackadaisical I'll call methodical. You could see the game plan was to keep Ryan off the field and wear down the defense. I actually wasn't that surprised that they were able to mount that comeback.
Regardless, it was a heck of a game and Brady was vindicated in a way. History was made today. Tom Brady added another incredible performance to his legacy and solidified his place as probably the greatest to ever play the position.

I disagree! They allowed no points in the first quarter and only allowed two tds in the second. Further the fumble put the falcons in great field position for one of them. To hold the number one scoring defense to that in the first half is really good. The game could have easily been out of hand if they hadnt made the stops they did in the first half.Agreed, the Pats defense were a complete failure in the first half. But that 4th quarter and OT, holy crap.
Best game possible. I said to the wife , "hope that missed field goal doesn't come back to haunt them ". ALMOST.
I originally wanted Atlanta to win , but couldn't help cheering for the Pats during their comeback.
The rules for a tie suck. Coin toss , sudden death ? I think it should be a 2 possession no clock ending , or enough time to allow 2 possessions. Shame for a winner to be determined ; in part , by a coin toss for possession.
Great game none the less.
