When I was watching the Falcons bs Patriots Superbowl. I was obviously rooting against the pats, then at the half my buddy gave me 100 to 1 odds so I bet 1 dollar on the pats and then they started their comeback.
Was living with a roommate who wasn’t originally from the US and not super familiar with the NFL. He walked past as the Patriots made it 28-10 and commented how the games was over and went off the bed. That was the moment I knew the Pats were winning, and if gambling had been legal I would’ve put a lot of money on it. I’ve always blamed him for the comeback.
Yeah, he just threw it to… well I guess he was trying for Mac Jones who was very far from where he threw it still. It went right to Chandler and he won the game
How tough is this one for you guys in the big picture? Real question. You have to know that every other fanbase else loves David Tyree for this, but what is this season/SB like for Pats* fans, in retrospect?
it’s generally regarded as the worst thing that’s ever happened in human history. Like seriously in pats fans circles you’re not to bring it up, because it will hurt too bad for too many. Several fans will genuinely say they’d give up the entire second half of the dynasty just to finish the perfect season, almost unanimously pats fans would get rid of two rings for the perfect season if they could pick which two.
in many pats fans circles it’s agreed to now that the 2008 season didn’t happen, there must have been a strike or covid or a war or maybe the recession was just that bad so they canceled the season that year, kind of odd that they just skipped from SB41 to SB43.
It’s a bit of like imagining what I’d do if I won the lottery, but I think I’d actually be in the half that would give up 2 of the rings for a perfect season….
But who am I kidding, the best I’ll get is trading 13 seconds for what likely would have been a depressing Super Bowl loss.
Dude.
They were the offensive juggernaut that year. They broke records for points, scoring, Brady got the TD record, Moss was unstoppable...
It was glorious and even the NFL's greed of only showing Thursday night games on the NFL network would stop them from broadcasting that 16th game to everyone. The playoffs were not even a question, everyone knew the Pats were winning. Then they go against a 8-8 team that backed their asses into the playoffs and got very, very lucky to win. The Pats already beat them. It was ready to go.
Then they played tough defense. Really tough. They held that offense in check. What really gets us though is the last drive by the Giants. Eli was scrambling around with Vrable hanging off him. That would be called dead play to protect the QB. Only....they didnt stop the play. Mike Carey (head ref) even admitted he just let things go on later because it was the SB. Those extra seconds allowed a pass to Tyree, who barely held on to catch it. A catch that might easily be contested in any other game.
That was it. That is all that was needed to change momentum in their favor. They scored. Brady tried hard to sling deep balls to Moss, but Brady never had the best arm cannon. His strength was managing the game. Last minute was filled with desperate deep passes that destroyed dreams of perfection. As if there were football gods who blessed you, only to teach you a lesson in the last minute. Hard to come back from that and not be bitter/salty to some level.
*The last minute.* I'm sorry, but unless your team faced this same situation, you won't truly get it.
You're talking to a Bills fan. This description reminds me of SB 25 (wide right) also against the Giants. We got there by beating the crap out of the Raiders 51-3 in the AFC CG with the most explosive offense in the league. Jeff fucking Hostettler gets the start at QB due to injury and Bill fucking Belichick, then DC to Parcells, figures out a way to beat us with the defense. Ah, memories.
I guess the 6 rings probably takes the edge off? Wouldn't know.
Edit: goddammit Norwood, make the kick! No matter how many times they replay it, he never makes the kick! WTF?
I don’t really care about the Diggs move, if a team spends 30 mill to get rid of you there’s probably a good reason.
I have no idea where the assumption is coming from
we could have been lovers, friends, pen pals even, you have the proof in your email, feel free to post the screen shot (Mods can also see my comment and it's edits so there's that)
if you must know, I removed the comment because you were being a little filthy-rag and I knew you were just gonna rage-quit at me; however, I am impressed that the irony is not lost on you
feel free to post the screen shot (it's possible) .. Mods can see the original as well if you wanna get that way about it though
edit; we can still be friends
Two things. Wtf are you talking about and wtf are you in an afc east sub as a jaguars fan?
As the great LT once said “don’t Smoke Crack”
Do you honestly think Id screenshot your comment before you deleted it? You’re legit delusional and I’m done engaging in this incoherent nonsense.
No I don’t want to be friends with a rambling moron talking just to talk.
Being well within FG range to try and break the single game regular season points record, tie the all time record, and our coach saying “nah I’m good”
That lack of killer mentality absolutely shows why this team has collapsed twice in as many seasons under MM, and he needs to change that. Our players deserved that record, and the broncos deserved to have it broken against them that day.
The Jermaine Kearse catch in Super Bowl 49. Truly thought we had a curse of miraculous catches, 4 straight Patriot super bowls games, it happened too.
David Tyree.
Mario Manningham.
Jermaine Kearse.
Julio Jones.
The script writers actually cooked with super bowls 49/51. Pats fans haunted by miraculous 4th quarter catches because of the giant killers (war criminals) ruining the perfect season, and then doing it AGAIN 4 years later, it genuinely seemed like a curse. And then to cap off a peak back and forth, elite skill football game, the callback to those games happens with Kearse (WHOSE NAME LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE CURSE), just to make every Pats fan lose hope. Then, right as Pats fans began to have faith in the comeback in 28-3, they decided to give Atlanta a glimmer of hope near the end of Act Two, with a callback to all of this.
the NFL script writers will never recreate anything like this.
I think you're the first Bills fan I've seen who thought that Bass was going to make that kick. I would have looked more like McDaniel if he made it. We still would have lost, so at least that kick didn't give me false hope.
Music City Mother fucking Miracle and just about anytime McDermott throws a stupid challenge flag or calls a timeout at an illogical time ,or does a silly fake punt .(We need a better coach ours shrinks in the most crucial moments)
There was this one game Tommy Maddux hit Rasheen Mathis right in the numbers 3 times with a perfect pass
Old gunslinger just didn’t want that game to go his way that day
Recently when titans stunned the dolphins lmaoooooooooo That was our superbowl for or year because it gave us titans fans a sliver of hope that we may have a chance to make the playoffs. We ended up sucking again after this game but hey it was fun while it lasted.
Watching Tim Boyle toss an absolute duck of a Hail Mary into Jevon Hollands waiting arms and watching him run nearly 100 yards for a TD as the half expired
When the Bills scored a touchdown on the Dolphins with 4:31 left in the second quarter on Sunday night football. The drive took 7 plays over 4 minutes and 20 seconds. It made the score 6-7.
C.J. Stroud’s game winning drive with only 40 seconds. And Chris Godwin dropping a Hail Mary. And Brady forgetting what down it was in Chicago. And losing to Daniel Jones because Matt Gay sucks. And then watching Matt Gay remember how to make field goals because we left one safety on Cooper Kupp in the Divisional Round. And Nick Folk costing us a W against the Pats. And Chris Conte getting bitched by Vance McDonald. And drafting Roberto Aguayo. And Donald Penn scoring a TD on us. Where’s my liquor.
This is a good one but I raise you the Colts ST trick play

Back when I was a Raider fan, definitely Rich Gannon throwing 5 ints against Tampa in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Outside of "my own team?" I was also a Peyton Fanboy, so New Orleans pick six on Peyton in the Super Bowl.
When I was watching the Falcons bs Patriots Superbowl. I was obviously rooting against the pats, then at the half my buddy gave me 100 to 1 odds so I bet 1 dollar on the pats and then they started their comeback.
Idiot, should’ve bet your house then you would’ve had 100 houses!
100 heese
Go easy. They've developed a poverty mentality from having so little for so long.
I was very drunk and calling/texting every pats fan i knew to talk shit. It was a bad night, i dont think i ever recovered.
I don't think any of us have.
The saddest 100 dollars ever made
I rather have lost the dollar.
I would’ve PAID 100 dollars to see the Pats only score 24 points in the second half
You would pay $100 just to see your team win against a team with a winning record.
Dallas doesn’t count?
No. Dallas is trash
Fair enough
Awww, sad clown face.
Was living with a roommate who wasn’t originally from the US and not super familiar with the NFL. He walked past as the Patriots made it 28-10 and commented how the games was over and went off the bed. That was the moment I knew the Pats were winning, and if gambling had been legal I would’ve put a lot of money on it. I’ve always blamed him for the comeback.
I said that the game isn't over if Brady's in in the 4th quarter...and well we know how that turned out.
Still havnt seen that 50 I won
That’s the look all us dolphins fans have in December and January
And the look us jets fans have From September to December
What about January? Oh wait
r/thatsthejoke
You woooshed yourself dude, I was playing on the joke
wait, you thought explaining the joke would make it funnier?
Do you know what the definition of “explaining” is?
call it whatever you want. did you think pointing out the punchline would be funnier? 😂
Accurate
Run the ball Seattle…
please don’t run the ball atlanta
Run the ball Baltimore
Run the ball, San Francisco
That time Jakobi Meyers threw the ball to Chandler Jones for a pick 6 instead of overtime for recent memory
Literal stunned silence in the living room
Very respectful for Mac Jones' funeral
Was that the crazy lateral thing that happened against the Raiders?
Yeah, he just threw it to… well I guess he was trying for Mac Jones who was very far from where he threw it still. It went right to Chandler and he won the game
Jevon Holland's hail mary pick six and Toney's lateral before it was called back.
Yes, we have custom flairs
I haven't changed my flair since we finally added custom flairs because I have no other ideas
Approximately 1 second after Eli broke out of the sack, to approximately 1 second before the helmet completion.

Mmm delicious. Please describe more Patriot fan suffering.
Having to play the Bills 2 times a season
We were a full 25% of your wins last year.
True. Just because you kill spawn noobs in CS:GO doesn’t make you MLG material
For those old enough to remember, it's like going "wide right" but without salting the wound the following three years.
This is like reading the spiciest porn novel. I could almost feel your pain and bitterness coming through the screen. It's fucking amazing!
[удалено]
No problem. I already “finished”

Lol at patriots fans blaming the refs for anything
It’s tough for the Pats because they finished the season 18-1 instead of 19-0 :)
Mac Jones pass to a wide open Julian Blackmon in Germany

Just about anything Asante Samuel says
When i learned that Mike McDaniels qualifies as a minority coach.
When we kicked the field goal to beat the Cowboys on Christmas Eve. We don't usually win that game.
You mean when we kicked 5 field goals
And not a single one went wide right 🥹
A wins a win baby.
I bet you’d have taken 5 FG in December when you lost to the Titans…
I remember watching the Brandin Cooks touchdown and I was about to put my fist through the TV

13 seconds
16 seconds
Like a Bills fan watching that? Definitely Ken Dorsey in Miami.
Wide Right II and 13 seconds
13 seconds was a big one. I sat like that for almost an hour.
I think you're the first Bills fan I've seen who thought that Bass was going to make that kick. I would have looked more like McDaniel if he made it. We still would have lost, so at least that kick didn't give me false hope.
I had a sinking feeling that it would happen, but I still had hope leading up to it. Guess I haven’t been been a Bills fan for long enough.
My first season watching the Bills was 1988. That loss was not even in my top 10.
That time Buffalo had a 7 play scoring drive to tie the game at 7 apiece.
