All of that happened, that's a fact. All the things you wanted to happen, run the ball, kick a field goal,etc. is unknown. After the Jones catch, the could have run and fumbled, or run and lost seven or ten yards, or run and had a holding call, or a personal foul, 15 yards, or run for five yards. Then run again and fumbled, holding, personal foul. Then try a kick, blocked and run back for a touchdown, you just don't know. What we do know is for five consecutive possessions the Falcons defense let the Patriots score and win the game. Why not obsess over five straight scores against the defense? Really that's what lost the game. The offense could have did everything they did exactly the same, with exactly the same results, if only the defense could have stoped that fourth down play, or made a turnover. So obsess over the poorly executed offense with four minutes to go rather than a twenty minute defensive collapse. Blame the coach for the players lack of execution, maybe you'll sleep better tonight than you did last night. In the end it's all just a side story of Tom Brady winning his fifth Super Bowl and becoming the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, according to Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw, who know something about playing quarterback in the NFL.
