Go Patriots! I'm so glad I was at a Superbowl party because I was forced to stick it out. If I was home, I would've turned the game off in disgust and missed everything.

The well deserved boos at Goodell were sweet but Kraft's speech was icing on the cake. In some ways it did feel like it wasn't just about being the winning team of this season but fighting for their legacy.

I have to hand it to Atlanta though. There were things they could've done differently but I don't think they did anything glaringly wrong that cost them the game. The Patriots still needed a lot of improbable things to go their way. It's the nature of the game sometimes.

I stayed home to watch the game with just my mom. We pretty much did the exact same thing we did during SB 49.

Goodell getting booed was awesome. I can only imagine how he'll get booed if he shows up opening night. I loved Kraft's speech too. He said everything we felt.

Got to feel for the Falcons losing like that sucks. They played well and I hope they can bounce back from this.

Yeah Goodell getting booed would have great to see lol.

I think if the Falcons play like they did this season they will be back in the mix along with the usual suspects in the NFC - Seahawks, Packers, etc.. but I'd keep an eye out on the division rivals too especially the Bucs I think Winston its only a matter of time he elevates to the playoffs and you can't count Brees or Newton leading their teams back into the post season either.

I think this whole Deflategate thing will be over when Goodell goes to Foxboro on opening day closing the book on it forever even if he gets booed out of the stadium.

Well the season is over as far as games . Now the coaches / staffs of the last 2 teams prepare for combine. free agency draft.
Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is the new head coach of San Francisco 49ers . He will have full control over the 53 man roster . New GM will run business side of 49'rs .

Also players are retiring or wanting to test free agency , could be some interesting names out there looking for a nice payday

The Survivor

Malcolm Butler, Martellus Bennett, Dont'a Hightower and LaGarette Blount are all free agents for the Patriots.

I hope they are all able to stay with the team but I expect one of them to be gone.
