Super Bowl 51

Two teams are playing in the Super Bowl that in August neither team seemed possible to make the Super Bowl.  Almost a year past before the four game suspension came down banning Tom Brady for his part in deflate Gate.

Those who call Tom Brady the greatest quarterback in NFL history predicted doom and gloom for the Patriots during his four game vacation but in fact they went 3-1 and lost their number two quarter back and had to finish up the four games with their third team quarterback under center and went 3-1.

If they can go 3-1 without him why should they not dominate the worse division in football the AFC North with him back.  Back under center for the last 12 games the Pat's go 11-1.

So with home field advantage the Pat's dominate their two playoff  rivals and Tom Brady heads to his 7th Super Bowl.  Looking back I wonder would Tom Brady be the Tom Brady we know today if the tuck rule had of been called  a fumble which it really was?

Last year at this time the NFC South Champs the Carolina Panthers were headed to the Super Bowl.  They had won their third straight division title.  A dynasty was in the making as Can Newton finally had blossomed into the best player in the NFL.  The Panthers with a good mix of young and old probably will become the next New England Patriots.

Free agent departures and early on the NFL allowed other teams to use Cam Newton for target practice and the Atlanta Falcons take advantage and are the second straight in a row NFC South team in the Super Bowl. Their quarterback just might win the MVP award and the Falcons are the top scoring team in football.

Who wins? Bill Bellicheat has the ability of taking away the other teams best player and for the Falcons that's Julio Jones. Do the Pats have any one who can cover him.  If they can stop him what about the rest of the best offense in football.  I don't think they can stop Jones but the next best stopper will be the quarterback.  Don't give him time to throw to anybody.

I see this as a high scoring game.  I see no reason that New England Patriots don't win this game. I don't know if it is my dislike for the Pats organization or my dislike of Mr Brady.  I think the Falcons win 38-35.  I also have the feeling just like last year with Cam.  The Patriots defense will disrupt Matt Ryan enough that Brady and company Win.  New England 38 Atlanta 28. I sure will hate it!
