I would wonder how would life be different if Julio Jones would have been the Super Bowl LI Hero for the Atlanta Falcons? It would have made a future 1st Ballot Hall of Famer out of the Millennium Falcons, and that out of a Legacy Franchise, would have been a coup.
The Falcons do not have a Career Representative in Canton, and Tommy Nobis died before he'd meet the Veterans Committee. This Super Bowl Loss makes me angrier than when St. Louis Lost and that is saying a lot.
It would have been tense and the Falcons, instead of being readily mocked in Professional Football, would have been revered. In the 56 Year History of the Atlanta Falcons, it took them 44 Years to have Back to Back Winning Seasons and 46 of those Years to do Back to Back Playoffs.
Having even some semblance of a Grits Blitz would have stopped Tom Brady and the Patriots. Instead, it was "Throw the Ball" endlessly with the Presumption that New England did not come back. That didn't happen.
Even having a Dirty Bird, like Jamaal Anderson in 1998, would have extended the field on Offense and not hindered Matt Ryan's 1st Ballot Hall of Fame Abilities. Or, even having to fly the coup and have the Tim Dwight for Hines Ward Pick, especially when Falcons Fans still wanted Hines Ward 23 Years Later, and Falcons Management liked Iowa City High.
