Hosted by former Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman, Games with Names is a podcast on the search to find the greatest games of all time. From the infamous to the unforgettable, we dive back into the classic matchups and eras across all of sports history. Joined by the players, coaches, and celebrity fans that lived it, we’ll uncover first-hand insights and never-before-heard stories, shining new light and perspective on the greatest games of all time.
Even in slow motion Malcolm Butler materializes out of no where to take that ball and get the ring.
I’m glad he mentioned Browner; Browner was the one telling Butler when to go. He knew the Seahawks inside out; Seattle should never let him go. They needed dbs for most of the game.
@hardcorehouse for sure. Super clutch WHOLE team effort from Erny watching film to the practice squad guy torching him to Browner calling it out and finally Butler getting it done.
Easily the greatest play in sb history, and arguably the best play in playoff or NFL history.
The Minneapolis miracle, the immaculate catch, hail Mary and so many more are flukes by comparison to the cerebral play this was.
to this day I'm still dumbfounded how he didn't win the MVP. Like he made the most glorious play of the game and without that the game has another winner.
@@hardcorehouse the thing is, at the beginning of the season when they let him go he was just numbers against the cap. If a team thinks "oh we might play the SB against this guy and he might read us and we might lost the title because of this guy right here" almost no one will ever be cut lol
@@hardcorehouseabsolutely. Without Browner eating Kearses lunch, Butler can’t make that play. The whole play relies on Kearse getting depth to prevent Butler from taking a B-line to the receiver.
I respect how Gronk and Edelman didn’t waste ten minutes reviewing other great Super Bowl plays - they’re like “nope, I was there, it was to win the game, gotta be #1.”
That’s the sort of bond that wins multiple super bowls.
They won because browner and butler accurately diagnosed pre-snap and perfectly executed post-snap their defense. People criticize Carroll when they should be praising browner and butler.
Ginger big boy is wrong. That year the pats were number 1 in red zone defense nd lynch was the best rb that year. Wouldn’t yoyr coach rather try to run it in instead of throwing from the 1 yard line 😂
Idk man there’s a lot of great sb plays
And with all that being said..... They should have ran the ball with Marshawn Lynch
I don’t care what you say, the decision not to hand it off to Marshawn is the worst decision in Super Bowl history. It was a dumb call, but that doesn’t take away from the victory and the play that butler made. Two things can be true at the same time.
That Hightower tackle was legitimately incredible. One of the best plays I’ve seen. Stopping marshawn with one arm basically on the 1 was wild.
Brandon browner was the second most important player in the game; he was the one who told Butler to go, he knew the Seahawks inside out, and the Seahawks should never of let him go as they ran out of dBs during the game.
Was huge Vs Matthews too, who out of nowhere was torching them until they switched browner to him. At least that's how I remember it
I think that was a great soapbox. There's always additional context
the nerd with the beard was on his shit, goddamn that was the best explanation of that play i have heard to date. Broke it down to another level, and added so much context to it
This is facts. The Pats prepared for this EXACT scenario during Super Bowl week and Malcolm Butler got beat for the td in practice. Hell, even on the INT you can see Brandon Browner telling Malcolm to just go once Browner gets the jam on the receiver (I think it was Jermaine Kearse).
Phenomenal play.
Yea it’s similar to the average 4th down stuff. Let’s say you have a 4th and 3 at midfield with 3 minutes left up by 4. If you punt it and your defense gives up a TD, your defense is at fault, not you as a coach. It doesn’t matter if your defense is tired, injured or already gave up 40. But if you go for it and fail, your defense gives up a TD, you’re an idiot for going for it.
nah i dont agree with the breakdown because they had a little under a minute on the clock. Bill could have used his timeouts anyway but by playing to the Pats plan Belichick knew he had em right where he wanted them. If the seahawks go with the obvious choice of running on 2nd no matter what, the pats can either call the timeout and enable the seahwks to be guarunteed both plays or dont call a timeout and the seahwaks can run a pass play on both downs or a run and a pass and barring another timeout from NE, end the game on that drive. The seahawks let time drip away and now were here acting like they didn't have enough time to run the ball. Also marshawn lynch admitted to lining up on the wrong side which IMO made the play easier to make because he was on the backside of the play instead of playside. just my opinion but I feel like these guys are calling it chess when it was really the seahawks blundereing their queen because they dont know chess
Yes red beard, yes. The pats D was set up for a run, and King Bill knew if he took a time out pete would change the play cos bill would change the D. By King Bill not calling a TO it allows pete to call a pass, although Malcolm is right there if you do. He played right into King Bill's hands. Just another occasion where Bill is out there playing chess n errybody else playing checkers
I hear the same mantra here in Seattle over and over. Give it to Lynch. Automatic TD. Except the fact that he was only 1-5 on short yardage so it wasn’t automatic.
Also nobody gives Bill credit for watching film, learning what Seattle does and practice for that play. Then they give Butler zero credit for just making a great play.
It’s like it was Seattle in a cakewalk except they gave it away. That’s not what I saw either but great analysis from the bearded one.
Funny how this is more popular than Mahomes winning his 3rd SB 😂😂…ouch
I thought the face on the wall was a cardboard cutout until it moved 😮
LOL I literally just thought the same thing.
You make an excellent point that a lot of Pats critics don’t realize - the Malcolm Butler interception was not a ‘lucky play’ but rather the result of foresight, preparation and practice. The Pats did not win all those Super Bowls by accident.
@@GloriousSong24 I know! A mystery to me. It’s almost like at that time Belichick was trying to sabotage- or maybe Butler was injured - IDK - could be a lot of things. (???)
Facts
@@CharlesRussell-zj3jp yes- facts. What are they? I admit I don’t know a lot. I know they did NOT play Butler (Fact!) but not why…, They are very secretive in NE!!
@@kenday7942 facts. That the butler pick was not lucky...the Patriots were the best prepared for thier opponents in big games than any team in history
@@kenday7942 butler was on the shit list for some kind of conduct.
The other thing people forget is that the defense stopped Lynch a couple of times in short yardage earlier in the game.
A fact that CONTINUOUSLY gets overlooked
No. Fact is that drive they couldn’t stop him. To not give him the ball with one yard…that also plays a factor. Lynch gonna run like never before
@@jaimeamaya5039 🥱
@@jaimeamaya5039couldn't stop him...my guy if kearse didn't make that stupidly lucky catch...lynch doesn't even get a chance to run it in...
I don’t think they would’ve stopped him more than once
Also...in superbowl 42...the play before David Tyree catch...Asante Samuel fails to grab the easy interception...ring for the pats...undefeated season...period
Thank you. I've said this many times. Samuel had the game won and dropped it. Bailed Eli out and the rest was unfortunate history
Ball was too high lucky he got his hands on it to begin with
I love how quiet and respectful Gronk and Jules were while listening. Phenomenal respect from two guys who know a ton.
Lmaooo you people are getting weirder by the day
Love to see Gronks mindset on football. How focused he was and how he details exactly what he was preparing for in the sideline shows you a little glimpse into the mind of football professional gronk, and not frat bro Gronk.
Butler beat the receiver to the spot. Not taking anything away from that fact - pure reaction, and quick. So quick that I can believe they did run this exact scenario in practice which means coaching accounts for much of the credit as well!
And the bigger question is... Why did Malcolm get benched?
For partying the night before the superbowl and missing curfew.
Yeah tell me about it
@@erice3525 So, they punished the entire team and the fans rather than punishing the player for his actions in another way... makes sense.
@@nomadman5288bill's fucking ego smh
Because Bellichik really isn’t a great coach
As much as I liked the analysis, the fact is Beast Mode himself said the whole offense was confused by the call. There may be great strategic reasons for the call, but ultimately your players need to buy-in and execute. At that point of the game Seattle had the mental advantage ("you can't stop us") and didn't use it.
There was already confusion on the Seahawks sideline, Belichick saw it and purposely didn’t call the time out to increase the confusion
You do not understand the conversation if your takeaway is yeah but. He was not unstoppable and easily could have been stacked up on 2nd down. Its not all on the RB. Lynch isn’t a rocket scientist
@@petetheneighbor8132 you are giving a hypothetical result and missed the point. The point is coaches don't play it doesn't matter what they draw up, players play and they need the clarity to execute. So it's on the coaching staff for 1) confusing the players 2) not preparing them for this situation or getting caught off-guard by timeouts.
As the interception was made I felt a burst of energy like never before. From the bottom of my feet rising through up my body. Never been so low to so high that fast. Unreal. Thanks to Ernie Adams and Malcolm Butler. Pete thought he was slick with the 3-out goal line play. Pete Carrol fooled every one in the world except for Bill.
Bruh i was probably the only dude in my neighborhood that was watching that game...i fucking screamed, fell out of my chair..squeezing my pillow so tight and rolling around on the ground....that moment to this day still gets me hyped everytime i think about it!
Somehow this one still trumps the Falcons comeback for me. Maybe it was the 10 year drought, I don't know, but it is absolutely my favorite moment as a pats fan.
Jules hit it right on the head with the Seattle team being a “we’re not changing for you, you’re changing for us” type of team. They had more talent than any other NFL team and a confidence/arrogance that no one could match. Seeing Malcolm Butler derail a dynasty and that way of thinking was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in sports ❤
Browner told Butler where to line up. The Seahawks needed to get the max number of plays so they threw one pass.
This was the greatest play in NFL history and that isn't exaggeration...he singlehandedly won his team the game...usually on offense a QB and another player make a play...or a RB makes a game -altering play...but this was to literally win or lose the SuberBowl...greatest play in NFL history!!!!
the beard guy should keep his terrible takes to himself. hearing him yap nonsense about how it wasn’t dumb to not give marshawn the ball made my ears hurt😂
1st down.. Seattle ran from the six yard line.. 2nd down.. Lynch almost got into the end zone.
I always say Boomtower made it possible for the Malcolm pick
Tom Brady calling a silent 3 count to get the offside right after was huge just ask Josh allen
Like Jules said, Hawks hit the same play 5 times that year, and little known fact is that entire season with every game played factored in, there wasn't an INT thrown from the 1 yard a single time until that play at the end of the last game of the year.. Such an improbable play smh.. For Malcom to have been able to jump that route and time it as perfectly as he did, and to not only break up the pass to actually intercepts it to win the SB.. Imo the greatest play in SB or playoff history easy.
Then he sat out against the eagles superbowl. Was always curious on why that happened
It's come out he messed around with Steve Belichick's now wife.
@@edelmantoamendola seriously?!?!
@@ucfkid67 yup and they made an agreement that neither side would talk about it as it’s just a bad look all around.
Nah i need the boy with the beard to stand on business. He was telling us the truth.
If the Seahawks don't throw, they are forced to take their last timeout with 3 downs and less than 30 seconds on the game clock... a recipe for disaster. The play call was solid too, we literally have 2 ex-patriots telling us how they couldn't cover it in practice. Maybe Marshawn would've run it in, but it wasn't a bad play call by Carroll, it was a perfect read by Browner to put Butler in position, and pure ball-hawking instincts by Butler to seal the deal. These heroes deserve their due
I was 20 when this happened and I said the same exact thing. Running it and not getting in would hurt them tremendously.
It always annoys me so bad nobody ever talks about that. In real time I told everyone throwing was smart there. Pete thought worst case it’s a incompletion.
There is a NFL films on the pats re this play "Do your job" I think. In this they highlight that there were two key elements. Blocking the lead recievier on the line, and getting up insideof the second reciever. Both parts were executed perfectly which lead to the interception.
it would have been 2 downs left with 20 seconds and no timeout. You could easily call 2 plays in case the first one is stopped short and snap with no time left.
@@IPIRIEY yes and one of those plays would have had to been a pass to get in the endzone or stop the clock. They had just run the ball the play before, let's say they run it again and call the timeout. Now you have a lot less than 30 seconds, and you want to run it again? Sure, but now you've just run the ball 3 times in a row, and if you don't get in the endzone you won't even have time for a prayer, let alone set up a game winning touchdown pass to win the game?...no pressure.
If you pass on the 3rd down with a stopped clock and don't land in the endzone, you're banking on the run now. Tbh this is the only other plausible option, but you're really asking a lot either way.
We live by the sword and die by the e pass
@@nithinr818 why? You have 2 plays in 20 seconds, you can run the ball twice if you want. The play itself and lining up after would take at MOST 15 seconds barring something like an injury making a player unable to get to the LOS in time. You could definitely just run the ball twice
That interception only happens if Brandon Browner jams his guy which he did and then Malcolm reading the play and jumping the route. If Malcolm doesn't jump that route, that's easy touchdown.
Great explanation but they should’ve at least tried one more handoff to Beast Mode.
Everyone criticized Donta Hightower for being bulky and slow until they realized that 6’5 260 4.6 won a Super Bowl tackling beast on 1st down to even allow Seattle’s coaches to even think anything but feed Marshawn again. Bamuh legend.
4.24 Red Beard just does dumb-dumb voice every time he says “fans don’t understand, they say that was a bad play call”… nothing insightful or analytical about this:just parroting what has been written and rewritten over and over this past year in books and interviews: bla bla bla . DUDE, STUPIDEST play all in NFL history
Ps Beastmode had 13 rushing and 4 receiving td’s that season: he was NOT in any way “not so great getting in the end zone”. Just unverified unreferenced claims on a podcast…
the most patriotic take ever on that play...extremely biased
Yeah, because the yahoos screaming "BeAst MoDuH" are giving great analysis.
Moreover, the chances of an interception on that play are VERY low. As Gronk and Jules said, they only get that because they practiced the hell out of it. Absolutely right that this play is labeled lazily and deserves way more thoughtful analysis.
This is a good conversation because it is not for idiots who watch the nfl. The producer is absolutely correct about the moronic “run it” discourse. If you are stopped you 100% have to pass on 3rd down. Good luck.
Lol he said Javon Kearse catch 😂😂
If Russell completes that pass, we lose, they go back to back, and then play call is touted as ballsy and great. Beast mode was 1 of 5 inside those 2/3 yards all year. Thats why during do your job, Pete is saying “they’re goin goal line they’re goin goal line”
THATS A SIGN TO THROW THE BALL to catch us off guard.
BUT!!!! Carroll was spooked by us NOT callin a time out, and he figured a quick slant/Incomplete pass allows them to run the ball, call a time out, and try again.
Tom Brady said they didn’t give them really a chance to make that play where Marshawn can run the ball. Watch how he breaks it down. Pretty cool too. Great podcast guys!
Why does Russ get a pass for throwing the int
Pls tell us why he didn't play against Philly in SB
I don't think people realize BB forces Caroll into that bad decisions by not calling a time out. I think people who actually knew what the hell was going on think like the bearded dude. The Seahawks get stopped on a run then they have to use thier last time out and they have to throw it on 3rd anyway. Browner, BB and Malcolm all deserve credit.
Why didn't Malcolm Butler play in Super Bowl LII? Of course, these two ChuckO's won't discuss that!
edelnut, why was Malcolm Butler benched in the Superbowl against the Eagles??????????
Waiting to see if this is mentioned in Dynasty series
Amazing play...not number one. James Harrison's interception return for a TD as time is running out before the half was not only the most amazing play I've ever seen, but it was a 14 point swing that totally changed that game. Even more so is that fact that he was supposed to be rushing on the play and just decided to drop into coverage on his own.
Why Gronk have no shoes?
If the Seahawks won the game on the pass play, everyone would be saying what a gutsy, genius call by Peter Carrol, no one was expecting a pass.
“You dance with the one that brought ya.”
It's a lot more nuanced then the average person gives it credit for. Having said that, Pete Carrol is batshit crazy for not running the ball. I would never have allowed myself to call a pass play. If Marshawn doesn't get it, he doesn't get in and you lose to a goal line stand. I can live with that. What I couldn't live with is what happened.
Sorry, doesn’t matter how much chess there is. Run it with Beast Mode, the number one power runner of his generation, 4x and you are going to cross the goal line on one of them. Don’t get too cute or outsmart yourself.
I mean they just addressed that Marshawn only had 1 touchdown all year from goaline. He was stopped on all other attempts. Hightower would’ve stuffed him again and Pete knew it.
@@stevenfeken508 the dude had a monster season and monster playoffs. Once again, you are on the one yardline with the power back of your generation. Pound it in. Even Lynch agrees with this. Run it 4x and impose your will.
@@derekdfarrington11 Of course Lynch agrees with you. It makes him look good. But Lynch wasn't good against goalline defenses. He was great in the open field. Against nine in the box, he's not great. Lynch was a great RPO runner against nickel defenses. The Seahawks weren't an "impose your will" team, they were a misdirection team.
And you don't have four attempts. Three runs.
@@mikecooney8422 this all applies when it’s regular season and you aren’t on the goal line in the Super Bowl. New England knows you are a misdirection team. You aren’t going to outsmart a Bilechick lead defense. Run the ball 4x, 1-4th down, you will get in.
They had 1 timeout. They literally explained it all in this video. Are you saying you know more than nfl players, esp the ones who played in it? Laughable
They knew that Seattle ran this play and literally practiced defense against the exact same goal line package. Prep was on point. "Go Malcolm, go!" Also Browner was huge this season after coming back from suspension. Revis too, but he did not play great in this game.
There is literally never a situation where you should throw a slant into goal line coverage(9in the box, press coverage) over running on 2nd and goal.
You can say nuance as much as you want but it was a dumb unnecessarily risky call.
I will die on this hill
Go pats!
Okay so this is closer to what I've always thought. The game situation absolutely called for a pass play (as spelled out beautifully in this video) but I don't understand throwing an inside slant instead of a fade or quick out. Something that is towards the sidelines so either it's caught or it's incomplete. No chance for an INT.
100%.
High and out ball?
Sure.
I think it was a very ill-advised play that Coach Carol called on the goal line - a pass on second down on your one foot from the goal line does not make sense… Especially when you’ve got Beast Mode on your team and three more downs. And Coach Belichick showed his genius once more by standing there and not calling a time out!
OFCOURSE it was the MOST RIDICULOUS call in SPORTS HISTORY!
NO CHESS GOING ON! NO NUANCE NEEDED! Lynch WALKS INTO THE ENDZONE in THIS situation after that ridiculous catch by Kearse, and Hightower makes an incredible play on 1st down to BARELY stop Lynch.And at that point , theres nearly A MINUTE LEFT! At which Russ WISELY lets 25 seconds run off! Still PLENTY of time for a 2nd down run, a time out (Seattles last) and then they call 2 plays if needed (unlikely would be needed!) He lets 25 seconds run off because of the BIGGEST BLUNDER IN SB HISTORY to THAT point: Bellichek not calling time to save those crucial 25 seconds needed to try and come back and get a FG after Seattles VERY LIKELY TD.... And you call a PASS!!! And not only that, but if gonna pass, at LEAST call a fake handoff to Lynch, and probably Russ could walk it into the endzone the other way...or a tight end would be standing all alone in the endzone ! But instead you throw- AND THROW OVER THE MIDDLE!! The throw could get tipped at the line, could go off Locketts body into the air, or can have what Malcolm did! And Seattle did NOT run that play the whole year-where did he get this 5 times it worked !
UNBELIEVABLY BAD CALL !!!
Dumbest play in Superbowl history. Analytics can't show momentum and or emotion. The o line would've gotten Marshawn in.
#1 play, not only to win a Superbowl but to stop a potential dynasty in Seattle winning back to back and to kick start the patriots new dynasty of three more Superbowl wins in 5 years with 4 Superbowl appearances. People forget this team went to Superbowl 49, 51, 52, 53 and Malcom butler was the center of talk for Superbowl 49 and 52 for very different reasons.
With Butler they would not had loosing to the eagles! So bad tackling from his replacements.
im glad they talk about the hightower tackle. do you know how many arguments i have with people that think marshawn did nothing and could do nothing forgetting he almost got in and got 4 yards? so many think the int was first down and the seahawks did that cause the seahawks couldnt run it in. i do admit that in that formation i think its a 50/50, well maybe a 30/70 but anyone think he wasnt getting in if lined up right and 2-3 chances is a idiot. i just dont like people misremembering things then arguing over it (being rude as hell) for there own ego. great game, great job pats. i throw no shade at you but your stupid fans that cant remember reality stop being cowboy fans in another uniform. yes every team has them but damn no one wants to be a cowboy fan in another uniform, even cowboy fans dont want to be cowboy fans.
I don't know why but when men cross their legs like that it pisses me off
People that don't know football say they should've handed it off to Beast Mode? L take. They just talked about Hightower saving a TD with his tackle. Lynch was about to get in on that play. 3 more downs for Lynch to get 1 yard. They should've run the damn ball and everyone with even slight common sense knows it.
They didn’t want Lynch to get the MVP they wanted Wilson thought they’d burn Their old DB but got ate up ! Also that game was not over then either but it was when the Seahawks blew it with a offside penalty then got beat up on the next play !!! Sling them Haymakers Gronk I was behind every punch you threw Gronk and Jules your the toughest my determined receiver there’s ever been talk about go to these two right here a football Players not pretenders !
I don’t like the Seahawks at all and rooted for Patriots in this game won money off of it but that was clearly pass interference. Happy the refs choked though got me a bag but that’ll go down as one of the worst no calls ever. I knew something like this was gonna happen in this SB. And it did! Always does unless they were playing NFC East in the SB then they’ll lose.
The people who don’t know football, would include Chris Collingsworth Who gave Malcom and the Patriots 0 credit and ruined the moment with his whining tantrum.
Hard to say this play isn’t #1. Harrison’s pick on Arizona was maybe the most exciting play ever but it was to end the second Qtr and not the game.
I wanted the Patriots to win that game but that being said if the handoff went to Lynch the Pats would have one less Super Bowl trophy.
Overanalyzing. Give it to beast mode. He scores. That simple.
Great Discussion, it pisses me off that the emphasis is placed on what a dumb play Seattle made instead of the incredible play, preparation and scouting that Malcolm and the Patriots do!
Marshawn Lynch really
Do we play American FOOTBALL or what? 🤔 🫢🫣🤫
Jesus christ, the pats won the game. Do pats fans want to get glazed on everything? That soapbox was pathetic
I was like gonna lose another one with a crazy catch and when i heard interceped I jumped off the couch like the replays of Brady on the sideline.
Pats practiced that D play all week. Couldn't get it right. Got it right when it mattered
I would like you guys to tell us why Malcom was so mistreated after that play. I know its a long story. Mysterious.
Nothing anyone says can take away how dumb it was...yes he shouldve just ran it
It was 2nd down YOU GIVE THE BALL BEASTMODE FOH
They didn't hand off to beast mode cuz he would've been mvp and he had been dissing nfl media
They passed it and lost, if they ran it they still would have lost. They should have just taken a knee of defeat
The dude with the beard is a keeper. Great insight.
They give that ball to lynch they win he been getting 3,4 yards all night
No, guy. You give it to Beastmode. Still a great play by Butler.
if you really know football, you know you had to throw the ball once. Thats it
It's even crazier that Malcolm Butler was made CB1 after the season. I wish he wasn't benched for Super Bowl 52. And as much as I'm glad we eventually got Stephon, it would have been awesome to have Malcolm be the long time CB1.
Now tell us why Malcolm was bot allowed to play in the next Super Bowl.
On second down it goes to Lynch…terrible play call.
As a hawks fan I’ve also always had the same stance as the dude with the beard..
Off subject but you can tell Gronks ankle has been through hell
Dumbest play call in Super Bowl history
I wonder what Jules is chewing on, looks like cope wintergreen
Love all the beatles and mccartney finds on the back shelf!
"people don't realize that" only people that didn't watch.
Wtf you mean “what people dont realize”
I dont care what the neckbeaed says, that shouod of been a run.
should have just run it with marshawn lynch
4:57 no, no it doesn't. It's 1st and goal from the 1yd line and you have 1 timeout. That gives you roughly 3-4 opportunities to get 1 yard with Marshawn. Should have at least given him the ball once (or twice) to see what the result would have been BEFORE risking an interception on 1st down.
Would have, could have, should have. Malcolm butler snatched the heart out of the hawks and jinxed them for EVER.
Worst call in Super Bowl history
Browner was the key.
Also...in superbowl 42...the play before David Tyree catch...Asante Samuel fails to grab the easy interception...ring for the pats...undefeated season...period
Pete Carrol looks stupid for life now
Should have given it to Lynch.
