Congrats to the Patriots, they didn't give up hope and eventually prevailed. I guess Atlanta has to deal with the fact that they set records for blowing such a big lead but they got the big lead in the first place and they just had their defense on the field way too long.
Great half time show from Lady Gaga also although the commercials didn't thrill me. Maybe the expectations for them is too high.
So many Americans watch the super bowl that it is a cultural event now.
The game seemed to be over and then it wasn't, which is a reminder that Football scores are a bit deceptive since you can get eight at a time.
I can remember games I played (of course on a much lower level) where we lost momentum. Its an odd thing that you feel like you can't be beat and do well, then something happens and you start to think you might blow it. It can be self fulfilling and you go from being loose to being tight.
Of course the players on New England had the opposite emotion, feeling in the fourth quarter they could do not wrong.
You can point to a couple of plays that allowed the comeback to happen but it started to seem inevitable and when the Patriots won the overtime coin toss, I think everybody knew it was over.
Congrats again to the Patriots!
