Steve Smith giving his keys to the game in his best English accent was everything.

Mr Kraft has now made a statement.

Hollywood Chris Hogan was innocent.

Tom Brady playing the first quarter in don't ever forget I'm Tom Brady mode.

Redzone not working on the Xbox app on the "new and improved" NFL GamePass Europe has forced me to pick a game. Raiders vs Titans is fun.

So Brady may escape the Madden curse directly, but they're going to be fielding street FAs by week 5 the way the rest of the team are getting injured. Already down to the bare bones when it comes to midget receivers

Dorsett as a kick returner I'd imagine. I wish nothing but the best of luck to Brissett. The speculation on Jimmy G and Sir Tom will no doubt be super intense next offseason.

The bbq retirement announcement video was a thing of beauty. I wouldn't expect anything else from lovely Big Vince.

S.T.O.A.T. Sexiest Tom Of All Time.

Back to Back Patriots covers too!

Oh yes. I am salivating at Cooks playing in that offence.

Fair play to Osi Umenyiora, for admitting that he was wrong.

Whilst there's a handful of other HoF caliber players in their prime, it's not like the rest were all bums. There's plenty that will make, or have already made, the Patriots' Hall. To use a Kingism, there's a load that would belong in the hall of very good - moreso defensively. Drew Bledsoe, Ty Law, Willie McGinest, Kevin Faulk, Tedy Bruschi, and Troy Brown are already in the Pats HoF. I thought Matt Light was too, but turns out I was wrong.

To quote Sir Alex Ferguson, "Football, bloody hell." I'm an absolute mess. I should really be getting ready for work, but I'm too tired and drained to even consider putting some trousers and socks on. What a game. I was convinced as the XP pinged off the post that a miracle wasn't going to happen. Even as they pulled it back in regulation I thought it would end up like Green Bay and Dallas did earlier in the playoffs - the mountain would be just too high to climb. But OT? Once the Patriots got the ball it was never in doubt. Atlanta's bottle had gone and it was all over for them. However, if they can stop it haunting them, Atlanta should be back. They were amazing in the first half and early in the second. There will be an inevitable scandal when it's revealed that Brady isn't actually human and was a visitor from another realm that took on mortal form to blend in with us. Until then the GOAT discussion is over. He's a magic vitamin drinking, elastic band twanging, freak and I love him. James White can also touch me any place that he wants for the next 24 hours. I'm going to Disney World!

Oh Bennett I could have done with a bigger hope spot than a FG.

Then again, Osi did take a lot of hits to the head. Atlanta are just playing lights out. They've played almost flawlessly on both sides. It's pretty hard to beat that.

Dagger through the fucking heart. Congrats Atlanta.

That was a perfectly good block. That was the single high point thus far and it's been cruelly taken from me.

If Matt Ryan ever gets bored with the NFL he'd make a cracking scrum half.

The Atlanta D are crazy fast. Hopefully they don't keep it up. I could also go the rest of the game without seeing Shaq Mason bowled over into Brady's legs.

Our home Madden 17 sim ended 69-33 to the Falcons with the combined passing yardage being in excess of 1200 yards. I'm not going to stick my neck out as that being accurate. Malcolm Mitchell dropped 1000 passes.

Delighted that TD finally got in. Generational talent with a moderate sample size should be respected alongside the accumulators.

I wish that I still had the QB Club game (and a PS2 to play it on). I never ever played an actual match on it, just the skill competitions all the time.

Two high-powered offences collide! It's finishing 12-9. All field goals, all the time.

I feel your pain. Gamepass on the XBOne has me having to mute the sound and cover the top half of the screen with my hand until I launch the game. Luckily I found the correct placement out earlier in the season. On another topic, how amazing was Arthur Blank's dancing?
