@@TJB270 Matt Schaub wasn't getting the Texans nowhere. The best team they had went up against the Patriots in the playoffs and they got smacked down to reality.
Thanks for the video NFL Throwback! I miss those days when the Texans had Matt Schaub, Arian Foster, and Andre Johnson on offense while hiring JJ Watt leading the defense.
Jimmy Graham was a phenomenal player. If he stayed put in New Orleans, he would have been a legend. Matt Schuab played a heck of a game and Texans offensive line played a terrific game. But their defense could not pressure Brees when they needed the most at the end when the Saints offensive line protected Brees just at the right time.
Dynamite matchup. Thanks for posting. I don't know why, but I always get transfixed with the Saints and Texans play each other. It's one of those rare inter-conference matchups where despite the changes in players and/or regime I feel compelled to watch. Another one is Titans/Packers. Weird, I know.
One of the most successful seasons for the young Texans franchise. They would lose on a potential game-winning/tying drive in the Divisional playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens 20-13 on a Ed Reed INT. They entered the postseason with the third QB that they start in the same season (Shaub and Leinart had season ending injuries; TJ Yates had to start the rest of the season since week 13) They also entered the playoffs with the fourth fewest points allowed, second fewest yards allowed, and third fewest per play.
Nice, just missing the toe-to-toe going between Sproles and Johnson. About every offensive weapon on both sides, had more highlight plays than those two, LOL.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly their defense was solid. Will Smith rip, Cam Jordan, John Vilma, Roman Harper had a heck of a year 7 sacks as a safety, still had Malcolm Jenkins, if Darren Sharper was healthy and didn’t retire who knows what contribution he would have on the team. Saints defense weren’t bad like New England lol
This remains the best team in Texans franchise history and Darren Sproles was a dynamic weapon with that Saints offense.
Absolutely. They could have made the SB if Schaub didn’t get hurt that year
2012 had a franchise record 12 wins
@@Fireyninjadog 2012’s team was good for sure, but this team was better
@@TJB270how so?

I had Brees, Sproles, and Jimmy Graham on my 2011 fantasy team
Won my league
Congrats
Lol you more than likely blew out every you played in your league that year.
@@bJT42 I had to use 5 different defenses and squeaked out a title in the championship game
A historic season for the Texans in 2011 as they won the division and made the playoffs for the first time ever.
Those Saints throwbacks were nice. If only they would make a home version of their current color rush, they would have perfect uniforms.
This was the same day as the Fitzmagic comeback vs New England
I watch NFL throwback videos almost every day lol. I love this channel.

I feel that, Dolphins/Packers matchups have that effect on me
@@NFLVault You're God 🙏But Your Videos Are Awesome
This was the closest game the Saints had at home in 2011.
Love these throw back game videos!! Thank you!!
Throwback is better than present!
Even though we lost this game ,I miss this days of the Texans
"Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams brings as aggressive a defense as anyone"
Right, yeah about that...
Ahhh yes that fabled "aggressive" defense Greg Williams implemented, and Matt Schaub had severely underrated arm talent
NFL throwback is AWESOME pleeeeeeeeeese keep uploading
It’s crazy how good the Texans used to be.
Fantastic game and one that I will never forget as it was my wedding day. Thank you for the perfect wedding present! Who dat!
Those Saints throwback jerseys 🔥
You have to be crazy talented to play 10 years in the NFL at 5 ft 5..... Incredible, big ups to the homie Darren sproles
I remembered watching this great, marquee matchup b/w 2 prolific offenses
That 2011 Saints Offense could just flip the switch. They struggled for a lot of this game and then just came alive in the 4th quarter.
Congratulations NFL Throwback 🏈 Well Done 👍

I saw this game and it was Jimmy Graham making big plays in the 2nd half and no lie Jabari Greer int was huge
That dude Casey for the Texans was beastin though
Nostalgic Game
Both Sproles and Andre Johnson seem like they had hall of fame level talent.
Lol 9:04, Texans #25 Jackson backed away real quick when Jahri Evans got involved.
This Saints offense was so good. Just so, so good.
Thank you very much NFL Throwback!!! If you have an editing job open, I would love an opportunity to help out and help make great videos and graphics!
This is awesome
He destroyed that guy 😭😭0:29
Boy it was some hitting going on in this game and the Texans had Watt,Mario Williams and Antonio Smith all on the DL mane that’s a nightmare for an OL
Yeah…that saints D was VERY aggressive before 2012…
Yo people forget just how good matt shaub was. He consistently put up 4500-5k yards every year. That zone offense worked wonders for him
The good old days of Andre Johnson and Matt schaub and Arian foster.
I miss 2011
Sproles was sprawling & Eighty was eatin…
I dig these saints jerseys.
Just in time for the bart commute home 👍
Just James Casey casually looking like Rob Gronkowski.
the amount of miss holding calls by the saints is crazy..hell of a game though
The Saints should of been champions that year
2011 Saints are one of the most underrated teams truly missing a ring
Nice, just missing the toe-to-toe going between Sproles and Johnson.
About every offensive weapon on both sides, had more highlight plays than those two, LOL.
Nobody can hit those 30 yard seam routes like Drew Brees could
With those gold pants, the Saints look more like the Steelers these days 😂
Texans were no joke back then!
Andre Johnson 💪💪💪
Schaub is the forgotten guy of the Ben/Rivers/Eli class
I don't think people realize how loaded Houston was then. Schuab and Yates just weren't good enough
what happened to this Houston Defense. They hit.
Man I miss the amazing Drew Brees. Who DAT!
I was sort of rooting for Houston. But it really was a fun game.
That was a good game. 2011 Saints team could've won the Superbowl if they got over the Niners. This was the Texans breaking out season.
Bounty gate would've strike the day after if they won the Superbowl 😂
Nah their defense would eventually let them down

I wonder who's parlay that last penalty fucked over 🤔.
WHODAT ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️
Used to love me some Ben Tate
One of the many games the Texans and Matt Schaub choked in crucial moments.
The saints didn't lose a game at the dome in 2011
I just realized NFL Throwback posted a video of the Patriots vs. Bills game a while ago. This game was on that same day. Yikes 😬😬
John 10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
2011... The last time the Saints had a great team...
The eagles were losing to the giants 14-4 in the second quarter?????
At one point, the Jags were losing to the Panthers 5-3... The hell happened that day...
Johnson a hofer no doubt
Good to know that. But why this guy playing so hard? What’s the point.
First
Lmao your 5th
