Bob Soci is the play-by-play man for your New England Patriots that every game can be heard right here on 985, the sports of.

0:09.2

Hello, Mr. Bob Soci.

0:11.0

Good morning, Mr. Fred Tatcher and Richard and Lee.

0:13.7

What a pain in the ass yesterday must have been for you.

0:17.3

How much of that game could you actually see?

0:19.9

And are you like, because they

0:20.9

showed Al Michaels and Collinsworth, and they've got the TV monitor there, that they, at one point, had to just watch it strictly on the TV because they couldn't see what was on the field. How bad was it for you? Well, we were right next door to those guys, same level, just to the right of them. And frankly, I think it, honestly, I think it came over on television a lot worse than it was in person,

0:37.8

and I'd rather, you know, where we were to be in that location than in some of the other press boxes, Rolaleigh, because it seemed to me the higher you went, the more difficult it became to see. Thankfully, the game was at that point in the control of the path, and so they kind of got more conservative, and it was just a matter of like, okay, identifying who comes out of the sideline and into

0:58.4

the huddle, and then after that, just give it your best guess.

1:01.7

But it was, you know, it's funny, I don't know how to explain it.

1:05.0

You just try to follow the ball and see through the fog, and, you know, made for good

1:10.5

storytelling afterwards from Bill Belichick to talk about the 1975 Colts.

1:14.9

But it was challenging, but, you know, it's a good experience.

1:19.6

We've been playing clips of Zoe all morning who sounded just incredulous at the dumb moves that the Falcons were making.

1:26.7

How astounded were you at just the amount of poor decision-making that that offense made?

1:32.7

It's amazing, honestly.

1:34.1

You know, you try not to be overly critical, you know, especially early in the game.

1:40.0

But to go forward and forth down the first time, you know, there was a sense, okay, they don't respect the Patriots defense for sure.

1:47.8

And then to go for it the second time, I thought, okay, now you're really tempting fade here, because you're still in this game, you're going to get the football back to start the third quarter,

1:56.6

punt in the Patriots deep, you know, you're fourth and six if you don't convert, which they didn't, then the paths have a short field and an opportunity to make it a three-score game, which is exactly what they did going into halftime. And I know the Falcons, you know, they've been trying to downplay what took place in the Super Bowl since it occurred, but it's clearly on their minds.

2:18.6

I just read a tweet from former Patriot Rob Nikovic.
