It wasn't a choke. Falcons played nearly flawlessly..
They never reviewed the play...the refs headed for dee hills like little panzies when everybody charged the field.
since I still can't sleep....decided to analyze the 4th quarter more carefully...and

more stuff..
1) The ref was 5 yards away, staring at both players when that double-facemask incident occurred...that even the announcers mentioned, and no flag thrown. It would of cancelled out the holding penalty against the Falcons...and they probably would of won it right there with that field goal.
2) sooo many holding incidents against the Patriots, that were NEVER called.. Notice how the Falcons were blitzing and getting to Brady so easily in the first half but not the 2nd? All these 'holds' prevented it...just goes to show how in-bed the NFL is with the Patriots.
classic case : 2:26 in the 4th....when Edelman makes that crazy catch off someone's foot. (or hand) Look at the friggin hold from the Patriots left guard on that play. Huge hold.....that was never callled. There's several other holds that weren't called either.
I'm not a falcons fan...but just wanted the game to be called right. It's beyond obvious how much the REFS did late in the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th quarter ....and OT to hand the Pats this win on a silver platter. The more I watch this, the more I can't believe it. ..use common sense guys...no super bowl team in history has ever come back and won from being down more than 10+ points ....and they were down by 25 points !!
Falcons played amazingly well, and did not choke. The refs won it.
