You know it’s been a long time ago when you hear the announcer refer to Tom Brady as “the kid”
Donavan McElroy thumbs up. But they do still say it ironically sometimes
Bill Belichick looked like a kid
He still is “the Kid” but he’s that kid who beats everyone now
Henry Gucci not everyone👊
Levi Bordelon let me guess, you’re an Eagles fan?
You got to give props to all those Patriot fans in that stadium because it's 100% safe to say that they aren't bandwagon fans.
@Brandon Inc i remember when the pats and indy used to battle it out for last
Brandon Inc they were 13-3 in 1998 you moron
That stadium was awful too. I had been to a lot of games there (family has had season tickets since '83). But, none of knew what Brady and Belichick would go on to do. None of us.
Pats have sold out every home game since Kraft bought the team in '94.
@@jgfunk it's the same stadium right?
Imagine being in a Coma for 20 years and waking up now and Brady's still playing in playoff games in 2021 and coming off a season where he just passed for *40 TD's* 😅
@Dhikshith Gajulapalli make that 10 appearances :)
@@LCucu also potential 7 rings
Young Gaming1011 8 rings
That's like going into a coma right now, and waking up to find out a 45 year old Mahomes is leading his team to Super Bowl 75
Coughs superbowl
it's incredible to think that none of these players are still playing except for Tom Brady

Adam Vinatieri is still an active player in the league
@@jamesdalton6502 What does Vinatieri do now? Drive the team bus? lol
@@1-800-NO-FAULT I agree
Crazy that Brady and Peyton played in the same division for one year.
I actually think it was 2 yrs
I bet both of them are happy that changed. Brady did and still does whoop the afc east and Peyton did the same to the afc south
Mark Jefferson only one year with both as starters…
Imagine if it stayed like that
That’s why the east is so weak now
Little did the Patriot fans know that this was the start of an insane two decade span of dominance. It's what every fan hopes for when they watch a young quarterback make his first start. Unfortunately, those hopes get crushed more often then not.
Like I wonder how many chiefs fans were like Mahomes ????? Who is that ? And then to see how quickly things turn around it’s unreal the bradys , peytons , mahomes, Rodgers, brees, are a once in generation.
Football seems the most demanding of sports if you arent amazing you'll quickly be tossed away. Even hockey and basketball aren't as demanding (tho for basketball you really need to be 7 ft tall)
👏 👏 well said 👏 👏
Usually their hopes get crushed BY Brady!
@@reggiemaxwell520 i doubt mahomes has an outstanding 2 decades. Chiefs are already hurting with cap and he hasn't helped it any with his salary. Great QB but won't be nearly as effective when everyone on the team is demanding top $. We will see.
What makes this even better is that this was the start of Gus Johnson’s legendary broadcasting career
I absolutely love his voice and his energy
Gus is very underrated. You can hear the excitement and enthusiasm in his voice. I love watching games with him announcing. I remember he was doing the bills and Bengals game when Buffalo came back and won. Great announcer
@@epictorres96 bro same
Who is Johnsons Legendary?
@@puto143a *ligma balls*
Funny how everyone had written this team off when they were 0-2 and they finished the season with a super bowl win
Even then it was the Brady effect. It has been reported that when the team was struggling that year Brady called a players only meeting, had a great effect on the team.
Well, there was no reason NOT to write them off.
5-11 the year before, bad start to the season, starting QB gone for several weeks...
Still have my ticket stub. Crazy to think none of us had a clue of what was to come
That's awesome!!
Never see anything like it again
I'm sure you and everyone else were very pessimistic before this game.
That's amazing
The MOMENT Drew Bledsoe got hurt and Brady came in, my roomates in Boston were screaming DYNASTY!!! I laughed so hard at them at that time, me being a Chiefs fan. Who the f*** is Tom Brady I said...***inserted foot a long time ago***
How fitting that his very first start was against Peyton Manning, and they went out to have one of the best QB rivalries EVER for years to follow.
Best QB rivalry of all time if u ask me
ghost in the shell357 I say so as well but I’m sure it can be debated by others so I just said one of the best to save myself the headache of having to debate with someone else.
Lol! What rivalry?? It was no contest!
@@maxwelldewinter exactly. Its like the redsox ny rivalry. Even though redsox are finally closing the gap. I think bostin just needs to win 18 more championships and theyll tie them!!
And Manning's last home start of his career was against Tom Brady.
The day I discovered I would regret being a Colts fan for the next 20 years
Bro I’m a raiders fan... don’t even start 😂
Atleast y’all got a super bowl win after brady came in and fucked everything up 😂
All band wagons liked your comment

“He made all the throws, had strong enough arms to hit that out routes, really feels confident, in fact he is not nervous at all, I am kinda surprised”
The thing that makes Brady so good is he has no “deer in headlights” moments. He’s always ready never nervous
Its amazing. He wasn't like that when he played at Michigan. Ive been a Buckeye fan since 1970s so I remember. Brady had a strong arm and had decent ability to read defenses, but he didn't have that "presence" until New England. Even in his first start you could see the presence. My only guess is because Belichick was incorporating Spread Principles into his offense, even then, and that suited Tom - gave him a confidence. Michigan was the old school Pro Power / Gillman Pass type of Offense. The ball was in his hands longer in that offense.
@@dwpagliari Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady
@@patricioderegil6288 Really when he wins seven SB and makes it to 10 will talk about it. Hell even last year with no receivers Tom would have beaten Mahomes if not for a terrible call on a TD play. He beat him in KC for the AFC championship. He owns Mahomes when it counts.
He's got alligator blood
@@patricioderegil6288 Is Patrick Mahomes the GOAT? I really don't think Mahomes will last long enough to get 7 rings, or 3 rings for that matter.
What’s crazy is that the only members of the 2001 Patriots who are still playing today are Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri (who now plays for the Colts)!
Is ANYBODY else from 2001 still playing besides Brady, Vinatieri, and Drew Brees?
@@sxcrunner18 After checking, Phil Dawson is (although he's a free agent at the moment). Janikowski retired this offseason, or he'd be here too.
banjo playing bison no what’s crazy is that there are STILL ANY players from this game playing.
banjo playing bison I would say that goes for the whole league not just the Patriots Squad so fucking crazy
@@animeshgandhi1551 i like your lame insults because you realize he is 100% correct.
I was 7 years old when this game was played. I just turned 27 last week and Tom Brady won his 7th Super Bowl. This video just makes you think “wow” earliest football memories to present day Brady has been there the entire time
We really are lucky to witness the greatest QB accomplishments ever in his entire career. Because there was nothing like that in NFL history. And there might not ever be a career like that again
@@zachrizzo6525 Hes not even that great. He has stacked teams. Let him go to NYG or some other team and see how he competes.
@@CoDSucks lmao name all these players for the stacked team 01 03 04. Infact name an offensive player on those teams lmao I can of course I'm a Pats fan. Notice things like hmmm Deion Branch balled with Brady 1 year. Pats traded him for a 1st round pick......2-3 years later after doing nothing on O for the Seahawks they didn't want him....came back to Pats and lit the Ravens up...
@@kujo5352 I bet if he went to NYG or jets you'd be still in denial.
Old head vibes💀
I think this kid will be decent. Might win a ring as a backup. He’d be lucky though.
are you watching the same video though? the point is being made - majority of brady's passes are behind the line of scrimmage, or complete at about 3-4 yards in front of it before his all-star support cast pushes the yards gained up.. pass yards completed - a QB unique stat - is P. Manning hands down
Yeah @Duanted 99 I don’t know, he’ll probably stop at the age of 30 or something
@@therandomist676 eh probably end up a bust
Bledsoe will beat him out for his job back and Brady will be forgotten as a 2nd stringer. 😂
I'm surprised that no 7 year old has come in and said that Tom Brady has won 7 super bowls😂😂
That Brady kid looked pretty good in his 1st start. Anyone know how he turned out? He still in the league?
His name "Rings" a bell.
fdivincenzo19 he played like shit. The defense won the game
I'm a hard core colts fan.. hate the pats... but Brady nowadays, is referred as the greatest of all time.. n I'm behind that every couple years I have to watch him pick my team apart hahah
@@jacrispiejackson69 ya and Broncos defence won Peyton a game whats your point are you trying to say it a team game ? Crazy
@@jacrispiejackson69 lmao triggered
You can look up the power rankings from week 2 of 2001 and the narrative from all of them was “Patriots already have the worst roster in the entire NFL and now lost starting QB Bledsoe, good luck patriots fans” funny how quickly the narrative changed the second Tom Brady took over. They went 5-11 in 2000 then 0-2 in 2001 then Brady takes over and goes 11-3 in reg season, 3-0 in playoffs, Super Bowl MVP.
Beast anyone who said they had the worst roster didn’t look at the defense or the o-line…
The Legendary Tom Brady
Brady wasn't lighting up the league in 2001. The offense was ball control, safe passes, and rushing attack with the defense carrying the team as it did in this game. Brady may have been relegated to backup after the season if the Tuck Rule went the other way in the playoffs. Bledsoe played in the AFC Championship, but Brady played in the Super Bowl and won. They had lucky wins throughout the season and playoffs coming into the Super Bowl, and even then, they were picked to lose by 2 touchdowns. They came out as a team during introductions, breaking tradition, and won the Super Bowl as a team.
Brady didn't start changing the narrative until 2-3 years later when he won another 2 SB's. They thought this was a miraculous, fluke season. People were split as to keep Bledsoe or Brady after 2001.
Don't forget Brady only made it to the Superbowl because of that blown call on the Fumble in the snow game vs the Raiders
@@nefspeaks1983 last time I remember that drive was only to tie the game. The raiders still had chances to win the game. They didn't have the mental toughness to get over that call. But we all know how they stunk up the following superbowl.
This was the first game I ever went too and I was bummed Bledsoe wasn’t playing hahaha
Lol
Bledsoe’s career was done as soon as Brady took his job
True
@@Cla45amg23 not true! He went on to get his job taken in Dallas by another previously unthought of QB named Tony Romo
Ironic! Even more ironic is that you played for the Buffalo Bills and lost 4 Super Bowls
"Peyton Manning is on a roll this season going up against a crippled Patriots!"
Tom Brady: *im bout to ruin this manes whole career*
This Manning’s*
Peyton was 3-2 against Brady in the playoffs.
precisely
Tom Brady... "Peyton, hold my beer."
@Frank Mclain Yea, they pretty much won every Superbowl for him! In the Superbowls the offense was great and in their prime, they lost sooo...
Ty Law was one of Mannings favorite receivers...

Great comment
To be fair all his Int were bobbled/tipped by the reciever, this game anyway lol.
@@andrewtaylor995 It's because he was playing outside......On real grass and a gentle breeze.

@@Deadbuck73 They should have learned by now? It was his first career start.
Tom Brady is so underrated that even the Patriots overlooked him.
199th pick
Nope,they had the good sense to wisely draft him. Looking closely at his University of Michigan tape, it is crystal clear that Brady was a high 1st round draft pick and NOT a 6th rounder.
The " experts" sloppily and negligently overlooked him . It happens,unfortunately.
@@ernestkovach3305
Yep. They "wisely" picked five dudes ahead of him.
@@EdmacZ LOL.
And to think he got sacked on his first ever play, followed by an air ball
Here after Tom Brady announced his official retirement for good this time. I may be from New York but I know a legend when I see one. Wish you nothing but the best in your retirement, you’re going to be a hilarious announcer!
9:12 "What about New England, why are they not in the poll" (of teams going 0-2 and to the playoffs)..... Man if you knew then, what we know now!!!!
Exactly!
Not one of those teams made the playoffs that year
Yeah! That's retarded there not in the pole
Unbelievable that they won the Super Bowl that year. Brady's first! After that game against the Colts, you could see that the Patriots were the team to beat.
We’d all be rich if we would have bet that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl that year.
Brady vs Manning with Gus Johnson calling....nothing better!
navynugget7 what happened to Gus Johnson, that dude is one of the greatest announcers all time.
@@theinvictussamaritan4778 calls college games on fox. Wish he still called pro games.
@@navynugget7 the texas a&m vs ucla game was a legendary called game by Gus Johnson
Now that you mentioned it, I too noticed how much that announcer was getting into it. Sounded more like an exciting college game. Thanks for the video.
There was something better... Gill and Gino... loved them on the rock of Boston WBCN.
5:54 let's just take a moment to appreciate that Interception return by Otis Smith!!
Yes. He ran like Antowain Smith.
78 yds but really more like 120 when you consider all the right to left and left to right.
O T I S
That was fucking beastly, so awesome
I was nervous cause I thought he was gonna get tackled at some point, but he just kept going and going and going. So in a way, I was hoping and praying that he wouldn't get tackled over 20 years after this game happened lol.
I was a 9 year old when this game aired. At 28 years old he just won another super bowl. CRAZY
What an inauspicious start to what would become THE QB rivalry of the 2000s. Few would've thought it would flourish to be such an amazing rivalry based on this game.
Tom was 11-6 to peyton not much of a rivalry to me🤣
Zach Coleman Besides the Colts beating the Pats in the 2006 AFC championship, it was rather uneventful rivalry.
Zach Coleman I love Brady but he beat Brady 3 times in AFC championship games... very much a rivalry
Briggie did you forget about about 2013 and 2015 AFC championships? Also like you said Peyton came back from down 21-3 which was basically the 2006 super bowl either team was beating the bears
Cam Griffin he specifically said 2000’s.
People born the week this game was played are in college now. Tom Brady is all they've known!
And I was already in the Air Force. Damn I feel old. 37 isn't really that old lol
Rpm773 what about Drew Breese ?
Patrick Mahomes was 5 years old at this time
I was born a year before this season, now I'm in my 2nd year on college.

"What about New England, they are 0-2, why aren't they in the poll?" If they only knew XD
Lmaoo i came here to see who caught that he said they have a chip on the shoulder guy laughs outrageously on air and says cause they didnt make the poll thats good stuff
Killed the reigning NFL dynasty en route to winning the Super Bowl that same season. Can’t make this stuff up, lol.
@@marbleslost8627 The Colts were not the "reigning NFL dynasty," at that time. Heck, Peyton Manning had only been there for three seasons and was just starting to get good. They were a good team, but not yet elite. Manning still had wtf games every now and then, like this one, where he'd throw a bunch of INT's, but those games were becoming less and less frequent. You really don't know what you're talking about if you think the 2001 Colts were a dynasty. The Ravens and Rams were the closest things to dynasties the league had at that time.
@@james_ford86 And The Rams are who I was talking about because that’s who Brady beat in the Super Bowl that year.
@@marbleslost8627 Rams weren't really a dynasty though. They'd only won one Super Bowl. You have to win more than one in less than a decade with the same core of players to be considered a dynasty.
Everything changed forever around this time in history -- 9/11 happened and the world was introduced to Tom Brady.
Tom Brady didn't really "arrive" until two weeks later against San Diego when he led the team to a a comeback OT win at home. This game was fueled by the Pats' (at the moment) unheralded defense and running game.
I was at that game. Cold and rainy - my friends figured the game was over late in the 4th quarter and went back to the parking lot. Had a couple of beers and watched them win the game on a black and white TV with the crowd noise in the background...
That defense was full of cast offs and underrated players
@@AAA310 doesn't mean they didn't play well
@@AAA310 sounds like a lot of other Pats teams
6 Rings, 9 SB Appearances and 3 League MVPs later...

You think he can beat mahomes
@@isyourmum4274 he can beat mahomes, that's really a dumb question.

"And really feels confident. In fact, wasn't nervous at all. I was kinda surprised."
20 years later...
Came here for Brady, left with memories brought back to life of a great and unique Pats defense.
Solid throws but I don't see anything special. Will be a solid quarterback for only a couple of years but not expecting much from this Tom Brady guy.
Yeah he's just a system quarterback
He is just lucky the other guy threw a lot of INTs. Probably back to being the backup after their franchise QB is healed.
Verne Garin yeah, Trent Dilfer looks like the new face of the nfl.
@@jenniferparson7492 You beat me to it
They have a great defense though, maybe it can carry them to the playoffs
“The kid has made some great plays today” at 13:48. The word “kid” means “young goat”.
Excellent post!
Oh damn!
Well-played.
Premonition!
Greg Hubbard lol you high?
My God this 2000-2007 era Pats defense was insane. Tedy Bruschi, Lawyer Milloy, Ty Law, Otis Smith, Richard Seymour, just to name a few.
Willie McGinest!
It was nasty. Once they added Rosie Colvin ty warren and Rodney Harrison the weaknesses were eliminated. It's why they won 22 straight games and as far as I'm concerned was the greatest unit ever assembled.
@@danacaldwell5388 sounds like a super team... because of that, I discredit their accomplishments lol... jk 😂
@@danacaldwell5388 Yeah people tend to forget the defense is what made that Patriots team so good for that period of time, star studded. Where the colts defense was Freeney, Mathis and Bob Sanders if he was healthy, they relied on getting a lead with that offense and letting those defensive ends pin their ears back but we saw on many occasions that getting a good lead on that Pat's defense wasn't easy to do
Vrabel?
Just got word he retired, I may not be a Patriots or Bucs fan but boy he will forever be the goat of the game.
Little did the world know that one day, both of these QBs would be in the conversation for best ever
No, just Tom. Manning doesn't have enough jewelry. Gaudy stats when the game shifted to offensively favored. That's not enough.
Sorry but again, another Obama error. Tom Brady, quietly alone at the top.
@@SuperSuperGenius +Yeah, right, like the Obamunist knows anything about football.
@@tanksix9485 Rings also aren’t enough. That’s a team stat. The NFL is the rare sport where you really can’t judge players based on that. I mean people do it anyway, but it’s foolish. I personally think Peyton is the most talented QB to play the game. He doesn’t have the rings to show it, but on an all time roster I’d take him over Brady.
I remember this game and the game Drew Bledsoe went down. The game Drew went down was my first time watching football as a college freshman just to kill the time. The Pats look lifeless. There wasn't much enthusiasm from the fans in the stand. The atmosphere was even grimmer the moment Bledsoe got hurt. But then Tom Brady stepped onto the football field. I didn't know what it was. Was it the team trying to encourage the newbie? Was it the fans trying to do the same thing? But I can feel the energy coming from everyone. I can see and feel the enthusiasm as if everyone can feel something great is about to begin. Since then I became Tom Brady's fan first; then I became the Patriots' fan second; then I became a fan of football. That is what Tom Brady brings to the Patriots. He brings hope. He gives us a sense that we are going to win no matter the difficulty. It is always a treat to be his fan because he never gives us that sense of despair. Back then no one was giving the Pats a chance or respect whatsoever.
It's like what happened last year in Cleveland, when Baker Mayfield went in for Tyrod Taylor. You could almost see the team and the fans changing.
But at least one person saw the potential. After a practice that spring of 2001, the quarterback coach, Dick Rehbein, went home, looked at his wife, and said, "Tom Brady might be the next Joe Montana." And his wife said, "what?" Rehbein shook his head, and said, "some day everyone will know who he is."
I don't know what happened at practice that day. But it clearly shook Rehbein to his core. Sadly, he died that August of a heart condition, and never got to see Brady become Brady.
Because people knew Bledsoe wasn’t the guy but he was too good to get rid of and had just been signed to a mega deal. There was expectations of football purgatory for years to come, squandering a talented defense and o-line

so what do the Patriots and Tom Brady have in common?

B. they went undefeated 16-0?
c. they won 6 superbowls ?
D . on the 2nd game against division champs both teams Pats to the Bills Bucks to the Saints gave up 38 points?
20 years later, 7 superbowls. What a legend, love him or hate him.
I have a giants football meet me in virginia
6 Super Bowls with the same team is crazy. He’s played in 10 of the last 20 Super Bowls
10 Superbowls, NFL record for NFL championship game appearances.
I was at this game in Foxboro.. A huge Bledsoe fan, I commented to my buddy walking into the stadium, "great, the start of the Tom Brady era", man was I wrong.
Tom Brady wasnt quite TOM BRADY yet but the poise was there. Colts played sloppy as hell. Wasn't prepared for that sudden Mark Rypien cameo at the end, I had no idea he was still in the league in 01.
barack says yeah he was pretty young when he won that super bowl, he also could have been the MVP that season he was spectacular especially on the deep ball, but by the late 90s he was a backup and then he quit for a while before returning to be an nfl backup.
I know right lol.... He's like a 82 or 83 rookie? Lol
@@TheLocalLt Barack says that?
As a Dolphins fan, I can tell you he was. He had a critical fumble in the first Dolphins-Colts game that year.
Dewitt McDidditt Bruh it’s OP’s username…
The first peyton vs brady rivalry. Thank you for an awesome game
Pat wasn’t awesome because the pats completely crushed the colts so it sucked
Peyton is Tom's bitch in regular season.
@Kevin Kelly Peyton was 3-2 v. Brady but overall didn't really outplay him.
If one guy wins the majority of the time is it really a rivalry I mean Brady just beat this guy all the time with the exception of a few times
I remember in 2002 when Brady led the league with 28 TD passes and Peyton threw 27, yet Brady was referred to as a "system QB" and Peyton was referred to as a "gunslinger."
So much nostalgia watching the defense from those early super bowl runs. It feels like it was so long ago. I wish football was still this hard hitting today.
Watching this really makes you think about all those games you watch where some random QB you don't know much about makes their first start. They could be the next great qb that were watching that first game 20+ years later thinking about it.
Seeing Harrison SPRINT from behind on that interception, only to still watch an opposing player score a touchdown.. after so many men couldn't... sad. That man had some serious hustle and heart.
Bruce Benson Just don’t cross him at a car wash 😬
Agreed. Reggie was a football player through and through
Colts fan here: I remember this game very clearly. Sitting around with my friends and then going outside at half time to throw the football around.
We were even demoralized by the smackdown the Pats were putting in the Colts. No one said a word. We were just in shock.

@@jamesmorris858 some franchises maybe. Not every. Not the Colts.
@@LASAGNA_LARRY Assuming they do play this year, you may want to revisit that at the end of the season. This year's Patriots will look A LOT like the team you watched in this video...and guess who's still coaching them? A lot of people will be surprised when this team finishes with a better record than Brady's Bucs and makes the playoffs. I won't be.
I'm a Pats fan been a fan since maybe you will remember when Curtis Martin was the running back for the Pats. Anyways this game I was shocked also thought when Drew got knocked it was over boy was I wrong. Ps I always wanted to see Payton Manning vs Eli Manning in the Superbowl. Thought that would be one he'll of a game
I love Tom Brady's story and watching this made it even cooler. That point when the announcers are asking themselves which 0-2 team has the best chance of making the playoffs...and then they ask "What about New England?" At that point you knew they didn't think it was realistic. Little did they know, putting Tom Brady in for his first start would lead to them becoming the AFC champions.
I was playing my first year of pee wee football when Brady made his first start. I was 7. About to be 27 January 2021. Crazy to see this man still dominating the league as I near my 30s 😂 🐐

Thank you Tom Brady for extending our New England summers and shortening our winters for 20 years, and making it easy to go to work on most Mondays.

The 80s Niners and the 70s Steelers would beg to differ.
@@sastryvnk4402 You mean vs TWO decades of the Patriots?
13:40 that's incredible. You're starting with an inexperienced QB with a blowout win and you trust this kid enough to go for it on 4th and 3.
I don't care what anyone says. Coaches must have had a shit ton of confidence in Brady even back then to allow him pull that shit.
YES
I agree
9:06 that’s really cool to see the old Foxborough Stadium and Gillette being constructed in the background
Notice how the building was packed? Proves that bullshit bandwagon theory wrong. This team was 0-2 and their star QB was injured and the stands were full. Weve always loved the Patriots.
Yeah, I noticed too. And the fans were rockin. Maybe they were starting to realize what kind of team they had.
50% Colt fans
Every game was full or sold out after Drew B. Was drafted.
Drew Bledsoe and Bill Parcells helped this team to be considered a threat in the playoffs that is why the crowd kept coming and then Bill Belichick and Tom Brady put them on the map!
The bandwagon fan theory is proposed by all the idiots from states other than MA who were bandwagon Patriots fans for 5 years when it was cool and then haters when that was cool.
Who knew that this one game would just be the beginning of a legend and a dynasty
"the kid has made some big plays today folks"....little did everyone know.
I wonder if Peyton Manning had a feeling that this was a sign of things to come against Tom Brady?
Doesn't he have a winning record all time against Tommy boy?
@@typierce259 Manning and Brady played each other 17 times. Brady led the head-to-head series 11-6.
Ty Pierce you just got told
Reynaldo should’ve been 12-5 if it weren’t for the refs in the 2016 AFC Championship
Millennial Falcon when did the refs help the pats? Patriots are one of the most penalized teams in NFL history, the refs cost the Pats super bowl 52 with that bs Zach Ertz call, and in the 2016 AFC Championship against the broncos the refs cost that game. Not to mention in the super bowl in which the Patriots were 18-0 against the Giants in like 2007 two of the offensive lineman were illegally holding which cost the game because it allowed Eli Manning to escape.
That was a very good, opportunistic defense the Patriots had that year. Great mix of guys drafted by Bill Parcells, and players brought over from Cleveland by Bill Belichick. Then there's that Brady guy. He didn't have great stats in this game, but in the game two weeks later against San Diego, it was his clutch throws that led to a comeback win in OT.
people forget that between playcalling and execution is what made that season.... and brady executed
Just came back and watched this. Brady was more of a game manager then. He was very comfortable. The defense was awesome!
Mac Jones looks very comfortable too. I am not saying Mac is Brady,but Mac does look very similar to how Brady was then. Mostly short accurate throws that move the chains. The big difference is that the Patriots defense isn’t near as good now,and the running game isn’t either.
when this game happened Mac was 2 years old
"Minus their leader" Yeah, okay.
Their leader was right there, on the field. They just didn't know it yet.
Bledsoe had just signed the first ever $100 million contract
To remain competitive pretty much every year(going _deep_ into the postseason), from 2001-present, in this age of salary cap and free-agency - which is specifically designed to prevent that from happening, is beyond amazing.
Of the NFL teams starting 0-2, which has the best shot at winning the Superbowl? New England.
Now he is heading to super bowl 55 with the bucs vs the chiefs
Yea
And he did it again. Unbelievable.
And he completely destroyed the competition. Undisputed greatest of all time quarterback.
The Bucs won that game.
The game that gave birth to the greatest Qb battle of all time
A Legend is Born!
Really cool shot at about 9:00 of Foxboro Stadium, with the new stadium being built in the back. It was originally going to be called CMGI Field, but the dot-com bubble burst out an end to that. Gillette signed on to sponsor the stadium, and that was that. Hadn’t seen an image like that before.
Paul Lambert cool bro 😎 I should’ve visited when I was in Boston. Probably never be back. Let’s have Brady get one more huh?! 👍
great catch, paul... didnt notice it whatsoever.
I was at Gillette Stadium for the first time October 13, 2002 and the CMGI signs were still up on the outside of the stadium, as well as the bags from the Pro Shop. We lost 28-10 to the Packers and Brady threw 3 INTs. People were booing him and saying he sucks as they walked out early. We moved down to the lower level seats in the front row. I wonder where those lame ass fans are today.
I'm so glad that Gillette did that because I LOVE screaming at the TV at home games "Welcome to the Razor!"
I forgot about CMGI! I had some friends that worked there (small world in software). Epic collapse.
The fact that Brady is still playing like this to this day is amazing
Who's here after Brady won his 7th ring?
You’re mom
You realize you can sort comments by date posted and see who posted after the superbowl? Who gives af
Cheated in a few of those.. didn't he???? I thought so
@@coleernest8421 Kano you are such a salty little baby. it must suck living your life constantly making excuses. Brady is your daddy. Bend over and take it
Hes thirsting for those likes bro. Let him have his moment. Im here after Bradys 7th ring.
It’s like watching 2 anime or comics characters fighting at the beginning of the story
What I see from this is Brady's hallmark poise, not making stupid mistakes by trying to force anything, Like Peyton did and it cost him, Pats defense was doing their best to help Brady transition, that was apparent, they did a great job in this game.
It's crazy how good he was from day one. They were blissfully ignorant of what they were witnessing. So we all were. I just started really watching football that year. I was 10 years old living in atlanta... mike vick just got drafted.. I just started playing football when I was 9 the year before... good times man. I miss the NFL Live game recaps too... that was the friggin best.
One of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen.
I can’t believe that the Patriots are starting this 6th round scrub! I guarantee that he’ll be out of the league in 2 years.
Get ready for Giovanni Carmazzi to take over the NFL!
I don't agree with you Chris Redman
I haven't heard them names since I was four lol
I know right! Carmazzi is the GOAT
are you dumb? Brady is still in the league... Watch the NFL before you make a comment. He has won 6 SBs
JeSko TV Are YOU that dumb???? It’s hard to imagine that much sarcasm can just go right over your head like that haha!
When Tom Bradys career stats first popped up it was crazy looking at that knowing those numbers are gonna get a lot bigger over the years
Who would have known that game would be the start of one of the best qb rivalries in history
I had no idea how legendary of a start Tom had. Unreal. These two.
I don't remember that game, but Brady is and always has been a winner.
The one I remember was the rematch at Indianapolis, when they stuffed the Colts on 1st and goal from the 1.
Watching some of these clips, and just seeing and remembering some those hard hits you used to see. Football being football
Boy Peyton really got rocked in this one lol
coming back to these videos after his announcement of retirement):
Damn. Manning choking against NE going back to Brady’s first start 😂
Good to hear a young Gus Johnson, one of my favorite broadcasters
Who’s here after Tampa Bay won the super bowl
City was too lit man definitely a night to remember
Mehehe
Bucs caught a busted o line
With the best d line
Their secondary wasn’t even that good, but they did their job. And got a lot of ints.
Tom Brady showing that 5.28 speed 3:09
Thus began the career of the greatest man to play in the NFL
@The Duke Brady is the GOAT. I'm not a fan but he is
well greatest QB.
loyaldude10 no. greatest player
ever see films of Jim Brown or look at his stats?
@@loyaldude10 Have you ever seen Jim Brown win 6 Super Bowls?
09:16 “How come New England isn’t in the poll, they were 0-2?”
Everyone else: laughs
Oh boy.
turns out they murk playoffs now 30-10
You have no idea how bad it was.
Me: laughs in six Super Bowls
I have a cousin who was born this year and is now a parent and Brady is still playing/winning. CRAZY
I have been a Patriots fan since 1980.Cheering them on when they were 1 an 15. Year after year and I'm so glad I was able to see them rise up and become winners.
So weird watching this and realizing it’s been 18 YEARS. I’m trying to imagine what people in the crowd look like 18 years from now😂
I'm the same age now that Bill Belichick was in 2001.
oldschoolgnrfan I was ONE in 2001
lol that was me in the crowd that you see in the video haha
The beginning of Brady/Belichick's 6-0 record vs Peyton 2001-04
Not taking anything from Brady, because clearly he is in a class of his own, and one great player, but if you give peyton a defense like that, he would have done the same with the colts. Peyton averaged more yards and touchdowns every year, but never had a defense. When he did get a decent defense, well, he won superbowls
@@jamesbauduin7956 first off it's super bowl and that defense was there when drew Bledsoe was starting and they was trash 5-13 till Brady took over
@JL-CptAtom I'm sure Peyton could give two fucks, he's got 2 rings and first ballot Hall of Famer. Something you don't have.
@@jamesbauduin7956 I take everything away from Broody boy?
I remember as a Pats fan, many fans couldn’t really believe this backup Brady was winning. For a little while there was a feeling he was just getting lucky, but we needed Bledsoe to get healthy and get back in. And even though Brady kept winning, a few weeks later when Bledsoe was healthy again fans seemed split about 50/50 whether Brady should remain the starter. But then Brady went on a huge win streak in the 2nd half of the season and no one was talking about Bledsoe anymore
Gives me chills an almost mirror of what the 49ers are going through right now. Who knows if Brock Purdy leads this team to a SB but 8m here for the ride.
Almost
Brock Purdy is made of glass though. That hit didn't even look that bad and next thing you know they can't even do surgery on it because of inflammation. Idk man, might be another Jimmy G kind of player. Decent but always hurt.
@@kingpin22sdecent? He had the highest qbr in the league, not only that he made the 49ers offense the highest scoring offense.
A Goat is born.
How cool is it that Tom Brady’s first NFL start turned out to be Chapter I of the greatest player rivalry in NFL history? Of the list of top 10 games of all time, at least a third have to be Brady-Manning games. Side note this was one of 8 straight Foxboro losses (including 2 playoff games) from 98-05 for Manning to start his career
Yep! This was the beginning of Foxboro being Peyton's theater of hell. It's crazy to me the Colts didn't win one of those 8 during that time.
@@michaelbayne2315 Brady/Manning games were almost entirely decided by who was at home. I think Peyton won once in Foxboro (2005), Brady won once in Indy (2007). Brady just happened to play more home games.
Chris Knox that’s not true because Brady blew him out lots
The start of one of the greatest careers in history 🤘🏻
I almost feel like he’s even stepped away from the other goats. Jordan, Woods, Ali, Ruth. He’s the greatest sports icon ever
