But they have an excellent team, Matty Ryan has the potential to be great, and I expect they will be back in the Superbowl soon.
Dan Marino thought so too

The greatest choke of all time belongs to the New York Yankees, 2004, ALCS. Up 3 games to none, and 4-3 in the bottom of the 9th with one of the greatest closers of all time on the mound in Mariano Rivera. But we all know how that turned out....
Yeah, I gotta admit that's probably the standard against which all other chokes must be judged...

It's tough to imagine how a team could blow it any worse than that...

There are no guarantees in any sport.

See e.g., that coach you hired for a day, 17 years ago. :nana

I think choking in the regular season and choking in the postseason are two different conversations. But yes, that was a spectacular choke.

True LJ, true. But of course in the case of the ALCS, that made almost everyone in America happy. Not so with Atlanta.....

Yes, Meade, my NYY-loving brother (also a Jets fan) hates the Pats because they win too much. Oh the irony......

I feel empathy for the Falcons and their fans, too, having lived through crushing defeats before. But they have an excellent team, Matty Ryan has the potential to be great, and I expect they will be back in the Superbowl soon.
Nope. I suspect Ryan is done.

Tom Brady refused an invitation to visit the White House just one time - when the invitation came from President Barack Obama.

I reserve the right to think very little of him.
