I guess with the Falcons I personally and I think a large portion of people didn't expect much from them. No doubt they were a good team, but I was kind of scratching my head wondering how the Falcons ended up being the team representing the NFC in the Superbowl. So as soon as things started to go down hill for the Falcons and the Pats started to gain their footing I had a feeling the game would make a turn for the worst, especially since the Pats always seem to comeback into games in this fashion.
As for the Hawks they were pretty solid favorites in that game, one could argue maybe not favorites but at the very least a 50/50 equal to the pats. The Hawks staying in the game and making a crazy comeback when things seemed to be over was just fantastic. Then that all got taken away by one fatal call.
I think it hurts more when you can look back and pinpoint exactly what you did wrong and know it was that single dumb mistake that cost you the game, rather then looking back and thinking hmmmm there were a lot of mistakes at the end and it all just fell apart.
