Looks like they really want this one. ---

Holy crap! What a comeback! ---

Tie game! I was about to turn it off an hour ago. ---

Wow. Just wow. I love how half an hour ago Al Michaels was scoffing at a comeback. ---

I can’t believe I was considering going to bed an hour ago. I am hitting past-me in the dick or doubting my team. Even if the Pats lose, at least it’s not the blowout it looked to be earlier. It will be a respectful loss. ---

Brady is an amazing QB. I don’t care what anyone says about him, but the dude is just fucking good. God I hate him. 🙂 ---

Goddamn it! Just that quick they take the lead again. Great game though! ---

A Super Bowl should be this good. ---

Holy mackerel, that was hard on my heart. Too sloppy, but loads of fun! 😃 ---

My pessimism (and not knowing the remaining schedule) is why I said 8-8 won’t win the division. At 8-6, 8-8 is worst case scenario. ---

I find it amazing that the 49ers team that took apart the Patriots like that are the same ones who couldn’t beat the Rams this year. ---

They did not “take apart” the Pats, the Pats just choked. They are kind of good at that when it matters. ---

The Pats got beaten like a rented mule for 3 quarters before have a rather impressive comeback smacked down and I say that as someone who was rooting for them.
